Chapter 417 Walked In Just Like I Wanted
She was about to fall off but she wasn't really planning to get knocked out of the tournament without getting a proper fight, that would be a shame considering what she had to go through to be here as the only first-year student from her academy.
She was about to fall off when she quickly summoned both of her whips and just with one swing of both of them, he wrapped the whips around m legs.
"If I'm going to fall, then you're going with me."
His hands suddenly took a red glow as he was about to try burning the whips to cut them, but before he could do that, a purple aura passed through Christine's hands and covered the whips.
Reinforcing her whips with her ability was all she needed to stop his fire ability from doing anything.
Seeing that his ability was working, 9 0 quickly summoned his spear and stuck it into the earth platform to prevent himself from getting dragged down along with her.
Now using the spear as a wedge for himself, Christine was able to drag herself up, and as soon as she was back on the platform, she dragged him forward with her whips and quickly sent him flying back with a kick.
"What is her ability?" Chloe asked after turning her gaze to Luis.
This was her first time seeing someone with that kind of ability.
"I think it's an ability that makes her able to enhance herself, her weapon, and anything she touches and wishes to enhance," Luis replied.
"Oh, does she have an elemental ability?" She asked.
"I don't think so," Luis replied before shaking his head.
"She doesn't have an elemental ability but she seems to be pretty strong." She muttered as she slowly turned her gaze back to the fight.
Christine could have simply dragged Mika out when she got back up on the platform but she didn't do that maybe because she wanted a proper fight with him or she believed that there was no way he would be able to beat her in a fight.
Right now, the two were having a proper fight on the platform. Christine was trying to grab him with her whips but that wasn't working out well for her.
Mika was a student known for his fast reflexes and sharp senses so he was able to avoid the whips no matter how fast Christine were moving them.
Avoiding the whips led him to the edge of the platform and just as both of the whips came raining down on him he summoned his spear and raised it horizontally.
Both of the whips wrapped around the spear, and without hesitation, he spent the spear flying far away from the area.
Christine was caught off guard by that so she didn't really have the incentive to hold on firmly to her whips.
As soon as both of her whips were sent flying away from the area along with his spear, Mika quickly turned around and began to run toward her.
"Her whips are her main strength, so I should be able to take her down now."
Both of his hands received a red glow as he was getting ready to blast some fire at her but before he could do that, Christine's eyes took a purple glow as her body was suddenly surrounded by a bright purple glow.
She stretched her hand and Mika watched in shock as a whip made out of her purple energy materialized right in front of him and wrapped around both of his hands preventing that fire stream from coming out.
As soon as the whip wrapped around his hands and subdued his ability, she quickly pulled him forward and as soon as he was close enough, she sent her knee down his gut.
"Owwww." He groaned in pain as his gaze turned to her watch which had the number five with a little l below it displayed there.
That number was the main reason why he wanted to knock her out as soon as possible, he knew there had to be a reason why she was level five l, almost a level more than him and he just found out.
That kick down his gut was enough to send him down to his knees, and with the whips tied around his hands, he looked like a slave that was about to be sold.
"You don't look like you're planning to give up soon and I don't really enjoy torturing people so I'll end this fight here."
After saying that, she pulled him back with her energy whip and sent him flying off the platform.
The platform wasn't raised that high so there was nothing to be worried about as everyone watched him crash down on the floor.
After doing that, the energy whip disappeared along with the purple aura around her body as she crashed down on the floor with one knee, she also seemed to be panting.
"It's a good thing he wasn't someone who could make that drag on, I wasn't planning to use this this early but, oh well." She mumbled.
"Mika Shoko from Eukerion academy has been eliminated which means that Eukerion academy is down to six students now. On the other hand, Christine Lome of Crockel academy proceeds to the next round." The Sergeant announced.
"Are you sure that girl is a first-year student, Kelvin?" Rosa asked after turning her gaze to Kelvin.
"If she was registered as a first-year student then she is a first-year student," Kelvin replied.
"A level five first-year student, at first I thought it was just a mistake from your training process but she really is level five material." Rosa expressed.
"It doesn't really matter," Jack said.
"Huh?" Rosa said before quickly turning her gaze to him.
"I mean it doesn't really matter whether she's a first year student or not, she'll still get to participate in the tournament so I don't see any reason why they would lie about her class." Jack articulated.
"Precisely, Phoenix academy has only third-year students after all," Kelvin said.
"She knocked out a second-year student, but I guess that's understandable given the fact that she's at a higher level," Chloe muttered.
"Good job, Christine," Pearl said as soon as the first-year student returned to her side.
"Thanks." She responded with a slime.
The next matching process had begun now, and as soon as it stopped, Pearl's eyes lit up.
"Our next fight will be Peal Reeves versus Michael Jonah."

With the help of his nanobots which he used to comb the area ahead of time, the three were able to get into the castle and to the prison area without getting spotted by anyone.
Matilda was now inside the prison with Felix and Maya and it looked like someone tended to her wounds because she was looking a bit better now as she lay in Maya's hands.
"Who's there?" Felix asked as soon as he heard their footsteps.
"Calm down, Father."
"Jude." He muttered as soon as he heard that voice.
"Jude, is that really you, son?" Maya asked with a low voice.
"Yes, Mother." The young knight said before popping up in front of the cell.
"Jude," Felix muttered, the look on his face said a lot about the terror he felt from being there and the relief he had now seeing his son's face again.
"Jude…"
"You shouldn't be here," Matilda muttered with a frail voice stopping Maya from saying what she wanted to say.
"She's right, Jude," Maya said.
She was praying quite loudly in her consciousness, praying that Roy wouldn't just pop up from anyone now.
"Don't worry, Mother, we're here to get you guys out of here."
"You didn't come alone?" Felix asked.
"No, I came with Tauriel and a friend from the other side."
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Blackstone. Jude, please move aside so I can cut that cell open."
At that moment, Tauriel closed her eyes and opened them to see another figure right behind Jude.
"Jude, behind you!"
As soon as Jude heard that, he pulled out his sword, and without even knowing he twisted the hilt and activated it.
The lightning from the sword sent Roy flying back until he crashed against the wall.
His form was revealed now as he slowly got up from the floor groaning softly.
"Purple lightning, it's been a while since I've seen that."
'So, he's vulnerable to lightning.' Michael quickly made a mental note.
"I told you you're not supposed to be here, Jude." Matilda groaned as she slowly got off Maya's body.
"If it wasn't for that elf over there your head would be rolling on the floor now," Roy said before twisting his head to make a few cracking sounds. "Anyway, you walked right in here just like I wanted and the possibility of you or your partners leaving here alive is zero."
"And what about my parents and Matilda?" The young knight asked.
"Oh, them? They're going to die too." He said as his eyes suddenly took on a dark glow of purple.
