Chapter 91 Awkward Fight
In that instant, Lumina's body went limp, her eyes closed as she dropped to the floor.
'What the heck happened?!' Nix narrowed his eyes, not understanding exactly what he had just witnessed. Angling was a major factor in this confusion.
[It's that lady with the blonde hair, she did something] Mune narrowed her eyes.
Pulling her up, she stroked Lumina's hair lightly, "it's over."
Slowly opening her eyes, she looked up at Fae whispering, "I did it again, right?"
Shaking her head, Fae assisted her in getting up.
Straightening her posture, she nodded her head towards Fae, signaling she didn't need her help in standing anymore.
With a bow, she raised her head to lock eyes with Miss Lotus.
"It's beyond any doubt, Miss Hans wins." Miss Lotus called out, feigning ignorance to what had just happened.
They all shared a look, none wanting to say anything.
Walking back to the crowd, all eyes followed as they paved the way for her to stay.
Clearing her throat to get their attention, Miss Lotus' vines wrapped around Arion, transporting him onto a stretcher.
Mr Gaviel cast a spell which levitated the stretcher, hovering and making its way out of the hall and towards the infirmary.
"We move on to the next pair." She said out loud. There was no time to spare because of one casualty.
"Miss Drui." She looked over at who bore that name.
Timidly, Gia stepped forward, looking behind her and towards Lank, who gave a thumbs up in encouragement.
'I can do this.' She repeatedly spoke in her thoughts.
She was already thinking about what she was going to face with the other lower rank gift user who glared daggers at her, awaiting her call.
She began to question why Mr Gaviel had chosen her to represent their class.
"Miss Fritz." Miss Lotus called out the team leader of the lower rank gift users, her eyes narrowing as the lady stepped forward.
She was dressed in a blue Spandex which had some sort of cloud like patterns on it, her gray hair was tied back in a high ponytail to expose her neck, revealing the thin white scars on her throat. Her white eyes were cold as she stared down at the girl in front of her.
This was Cara, her gift of wind was well known among the others, because of her ability to blow through objects and her cold demeanor she gave off.
As opposed to her wide range gift, she didn't have that luxury as her close range was more of a hindrance in this spar.
Gia gulped, her heart beating in her throat as she stood there, waiting for the order to begin.
"Begin!" Miss Lotus called out, bringing down her hand.
A gust of wind swept through the hall, bringing up dust, causing Gia's hair to fly all around her.
"Woah!" Gia dug her heels into the ground, trying to keep her balance.
Her body was engulfed in a purple aura and then she immediately became invisible. Cautious about her opponent's gift, she began to move slowly towards her.
Being light on her steps to the best of her ability, she continued her movements towards Cara.
Due to being capable of perceiving subtle shifts and vibrations in the surrounding air currents, she could detect Gia approaching with ease.
Encircling herself in a spiraling air current, she began to spin in circles, creating a tornado of dust in her wake. The gust of wind blew up and around her, making it harder for Gia to move.
She had to get out of the way as she felt the wind pressing against her.
The other students were held in place by Miss Lotus vines. They wrapped around each and everyone's ankle. The vines then made their way up their legs, until it stopped at their thighs.
Unable to keep up with the whirlwinds of her opponent, Gia was forced to move backwards. There was no way she could cast her spell without getting close to Cara.
Closing her eyes, she listened for movements due to her inability to see Gia. After a few seconds, she heard a small rustle to her left. She opened her eyes just in time to feel Gia's presence closer than she had expected, stretching out her hand, she grabbed a hold of her neck and held it in place.
Gasp!
To the others it looked like she was holding onto nothing, but in reality, she had wrapped her hand around Gia's neck, the other girl's body was suspended in the air, as she struggled to be free.
Slowly, she began to extract the air in her lungs.
"Your magic is worthless against me." Cara said, her voice was cold and emotionless, "did you really think masking your presence would protect you from my gift? I can see and feel straight through you."
Gasping for breath, Gia forced a smile on her face, she had gotten the close range she needed. It was time to set her plan into motion.
Creating a magic circle with her free hand, she lightly touched Cara's forehead and closed her eyes.
Cara released her grip on Gia's neck immediately, her vision gradually began to distort, her body began to sway to the feel of herself being pulled apart.
Gia's energy had been depleted because of this, coupled with the fact that she still had a hard time breathing. Her invisible cloak deactivated.
Using her hands to claw on the floor, Cara was in a fit of rage at what she was experiencing. No matter how much she tried, her vision continued to spiral in front of her.
Mr Doliu sweatdropped at the condition they were both in. This was by far the most awkward fight in all his years of supervising.
Although they didn't see what had transpired between Gia and Cara after she had grabbed hold of presumably invisible Gia, it was impossible to tell what Gia had done to cripple her in such a way.
Leaning towards the left side, he whispered to Mr Gaviel, "how do we determine the winner in this case?"
Shrugging to his question, he refused to speak, he nodded towards where his attention mainly was, on Miss Lotus who stared at the two lower ranks from her seat, deep in thought, she was the one with the final say in all of this.
