Chapter 113: Rosies Fight and The Main Event (1/2)
It is currently 4-2 between Ochyra University and Faraday University.
Number four from Faraday University got another point from Ochyra University, his control over earth element is terrifying, to say the least.
His opponents can't break through his defense even until their mana got depleted.
Number four got the nickname of the Ultimate Defense by the crowd, his defense is absolutely astonishing that even Rex got interested in him.
'That guy, he's really good', Rex thought.
He intends to find out more about number four later, he felt it is worth the trouble.
Number four comes from a low family that seems out of place, Rex thought that it will be weird if he doesn't have any kind of motives that he can use to pull him into his side.
Because of Rex,
Ochyra University got an immense lead from Faraday University, if Faraday University loses another round the deal will be sealed.
Faraday will lose this tournament.
It is Rosie's turn and her opponent is a Fire Elementalist.
From the match-up alone she's at a disadvantage,
The fire element is weak against water but strong against wind elements.
It was common knowledge for Awakened to know each of the responses of the elements against each other, it is useful to decide which strategy to use.
Rosie went inside the arena, she looks at the opponent in front of her.
Her opponents wield a katana that looks sharp, it was lustering with fiery mana that makes the katana glows with a red hue.
Seeing this, Rosie looks at the sword in her hand.
From the look of the katana, Rosie's sword is of a lower rank than the katana.
Both of them stares at each other,
Rosie felt the pressure from the guy is increasing the longer he stares at the guy, it makes her tremble even evident.
The guy notices this, ”Are you even worth fighting? You can just yield”, he said arrogantly.
Before even the fight started, the guy can already see that Rosie is trembling slightly making him look down on her.
Hearing this, Rosie gritted her teeth trying to calm herself down.
”Begin!”
SWOOSH!!
The guy immediately sent a fire slash towards Rosie, it is crescent-shaped and it scorched the ground in black.
”Boost!”, Rosie activates her wind element as she dodges to the side.
Although the fire slash is strong, she can clearly see the trajectory and dodge it cleanly.
Just after she dodges it, the guy already arrives in front of her with his katana covered with blazing fire.
Rosie was stunned, she raises her sword to block it.
CLANG!!
The katana and the sword collided with each other creating a spark, Rosie got pushed back a little because of the impact.
The heat emitted by the katana scorch Rosie's hand a little.
Rosie then parries the katana, the wind element gathers on Rosie's arms as she slashes, ”Dual Wind Blade!”
Two crescent-shaped slashes came out of Rosie's sword and shot towards the guy, it was a fast attack that caught the guy off guard.
”Fire Burst!”
WHOOSH!
Fire exploded around the guy's body, it immediately disintegrates Rosie's attack.
Seeing this, Rosie didn't stop as she sent another Dual Wind Blade.
A grin appeared on the guy's face as he chanted, ”Basic Spell, Ball of Fire!”
SWOOSH!
A fireball materializes in front of the guy before it shot towards Rosie, it was as big as a car.
Rosie's Dual Wind Blade hits the fireball,
Instead of colliding with the fireball, the Dual Wind Blade got absorbed by the fireball before it gets bigger and stronger than before.
'Wind will only strengthen Fire, she's at a big disadvantage', Rex thought.
But then, the guy was shocked to find Rosie nowhere to be seen.
From the exchange before, Rosie uses that time when the guy chanted to close their distance.
Rosie's legs glow with a green hue as she dashes to the side, the sword in her hand glows with a green hue making it even sharper before swings it.
SLASH!
The guy got slashed on his stomach, he just manages to dodge it in time.
Seeing how Rosie manage to slash the guy, the crowd burst in excitement.
Even Rex who is watching from the side is surprised, 'Her battle instincts are better than I thought, but she had that from before', Rex thought.
Rosie's sword can only scratch the guy's stomach, it was not deep enough to be a fatal injury, 'I have no choice!', she thought.
Wind mana is gathering like crazy under the guy's feet as she chanted, ”Way of Enlil!”
”Huh?! What's this?”, the guy said in confusion.
Before he can even recover from the previous attack, wind mana started to grip his legs.
The wind mana under his feet was entangling his body making him unable to move, it was gripping his legs tightly before Rosie's eyes glint with fierceness.
But before she manages to use her next stance, a grin appears on the guy's face.
”Ignite!”
BOOM!!
The ground beneath the guy's feet exploded as it destroyed the wind mana around him, Rosie's attack got canceled just like that.
Seeing this, Rosie widened her eyes in shock.
The green hue on her eyes disappear as her spell got canceled, ”H...How?”
”Do you really think this little wind mana can trap me? Did you really think it will work?”, the guy said while laughing.
Tears came out of his eyes as he looks at Rosie like an idiot.
Rex from the sides sighs, 'Although it is a good plan, the guy's mana control is surprisingly great'
Rosie expects the guy to explode himself.
By destroying Rosie's spell with fire makes the fire around him to be stronger, it will then exploded alongside the guy.
It was a probable plan but what she didn't expect is that the guy control is amazing, he can suppress the fire mana enough to cancel the explosion.
