Chapter 50: Rosies Surprising Opponent (1/2)
Rex leaves Adhara to herself, he thinks that Adhara will probably be like that until the Dark Moon arrives.
Rex and Rosie left Adhara alone and went to their usual place around the middle of the training hall.
The lecturers, vice-principals, and principals are already seated on their sit,
The match is about to begin, the referee goes inside the Arena and declared loudly, ”We will resume the tournament! The students that are called please get inside the Arena”
The matching board started to roll again,
”Next match! Ivy from class 1-D and Logan from class 1-C”, the referee announced before a blue-haired woman with a dashing light blue armor walks gracefully to the Arena.
She is waving to the crowd with a gentle smile,
The crowd especially the guy becomes hectic after getting a wave from Ivy,
”YOU GO, PRINCESS!!”
”SHE WAVES AT ME!!”
”LOOK!! She wears her famous armor, Blue Current!!”
Rex was intrigued, Class 1-D rarely interact with other classrooms because they are a privileged student so they are trained very hard by the university.
Rex approaches a guy beside him and asks, ”Who is she? Why is she so famous?”
The guy didn't even turn his head to Rex as he answers, ”Did you live in a cave or something? She is a celebrity, she is in the entertainment industry, movie and stuff”
The guy is unwilling to look at Rex by sacrificing his time to look at Ivy,
'Huh...My bad', he smiles wryly before focusing back on the Arena.
Rex looks at Ivy and Logan's stats and shakes his head, 'One is a peak-rank three, the other is an early-rank three'
Ivy is standing in the Arena like a goddess, she still has a gentle smile on her face even after her opponent is standing in front of her.
Her opponent didn't stand out in any way, Logan even has a nervous expression on his face.
The referee stands beside both of them and said, ”The rules are still the same as before, no life-threatening blow, knock your opponent out of the Arena or surrendering to become a winner”
After the referee saw the both of them nod, ”BEGIN!!”
Before Logan can even concentrate his mana, Ivy already arrived in front of him with her fist covered in a blue aura.
”Eh?”, Logan was still processing what just happened when suddenly,
BAM!!
Ivy's fist landed solidly on Logan's face, If one looks closely they will saw a tiny water explosion just after the hit landed.
Logan was sent flying away crashing to the ground outside of the Arena,
The referee looks at Logan before announcing, ”Winner, Ivy Larson!”
”WOOWW!!”
”THAT'S OUR PRINCESS!!”
”NO GIRL CAN MATCH OUR PRINCESS' POWER!!”
The crowd burst into cheers, the guy is racing with each other to give more praises to Ivy.
Ivy looks at the crowd while raising her arms, she then winks cutely to the crowd making the guy's heart melt because of her cuteness.
Rex was standing still while folding his arms, 'That's as expected, her power is way above that Logan guy'
After the match ended, Ivy got down from the Arena but suddenly her eyes met with Rex's.
Her expression turns weird for a second before returning to her usual gentle smile expression, the change in expression was caught by Rex.
'Seems like she hates me too because of the field test', Rex thought sighing.
”Rosie, you ready? I got a feeling you're up next”, Rex said while teasing Rosie a bit by poking her waist with his elbow.
Rosie was annoyed and replied, ”Stop that! Just see as I shock you with my power”, she scoffed loudly but inside she felt nervous, especially when she is only an early rank three.
”Alright, I'll watch over you”, Rex said before his eyes glister to look at Rosie's stats,

'Well she did improve tremendously, I think she will manage as long as the enemy is not a peak rank three', Rex thought.
The matching board starting to roll again, the roll felt longer to Rosie for some reason but then suddenly the matching board stops.
The name the matching board displayed makes the surrounding students silent,
”Next match, Rosie from class 1-B and Adhara from class 1-C please get inside the ring”, the referee said loudly breaking the silent atmosphere.
The words sent lightning to Rosie's mind, she was stunned.
Her mind went blank for a while, ”Eh? ADHARA?!”, she shouted feeling shocked.
Rex was also shocked beside Rosie, 'Out of all the students that are in here, she has to fight Adhara', Rex thought, feeling sorry for Rosie.
”It's okay, just do your best”, Rex said trying to cheer Rosie on although it sounds dry.
Rosie glances at Rex and saw a gist of doubt in Rex's expression, she gritted her teeth and walks to the Arena.
”A fight between Rex's girlfriend and his mistress is about to begin”
”Mistress? Adhara? Why did you say that?”
”Well, I saw Rex flirting with Adhara. Forget it, even thinking about it makes me mad”, the guy thought with a scene where Adhara got choked with a satisfied expression seeps past his mind.
Rosie arrives at the Arena with cold feet, she held her sword tightly as she saw Adhara enters the Arena with a calm look.
”Should I go easy on you?”, Adhara said calmly.
Hearing this, Rosie gritted her teeth in frustration.
Rosie knows that Adhara is way stronger than her, especially when she knows that Adhara got almost half of the points during the field test alone by killing countless Skeletons.
Rosie then gets into her battle stance as she replies, ”You better not regret going easy on me”
Adhara scoffed, ”Please, Don't overestimate yourself”
Rex got closer to the Arena just in case, he feels that Adhara is not her usual self because of the Dark Moon approaches.
Rex looks at Adhara's stats and widened his eyes,
