Chapter 36 Maya's Power
The students who had won the previous three battles suddenly stepped down from the arena, leaving the remaining Apex and Skywing students confused. Orion, who had been observing the battles from the sidelines, stepped forward to ask what was going on.
One of the Apex students spoke up. "We've decided to give some of the other students a chance to compete. We've had our share of victories, and we think it's only fair to let some of the other students show what they can do." The student who won said to the audience.
The next Apex student who stepped up was surprisingly Maya. Orion saw that Maya was the one who would go next and directly cheered for her.
Orion walked over to Maya with a big smile on his face. "Maya, I knew you had it in you! You're going to do great out there," he said, patting her on the back.
Maya returned his smile, her own eyes shining with excitement and determination. "Thanks, Orion. I'm ready to give it my all and show everyone what I'm capable of."
Orion nodded. "I know you will. And even if things don't go exactly as planned, just remember that we're all here for you. We'll support you no matter what happens."
Maya's expression softened at Orion's words. "Thank you, Orion. I really appreciate it."
Orion nodded once again, then stepped back to watch as Maya entered the arena alone. The atmosphere was tense as she made her way to her designated battle area, and Orion could see that Maya was taking deep breaths to calm her nerves. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he watched her, knowing how hard she had worked to get to this point.
As the announcer called out Maya's opponent, a Skywing student who had tamed a pair of fierce beasts, Orion could see the determination in Maya's eyes. She stepped forward, her beasts at her side, and the battle began.
Maya took a deep breath as she entered the arena, her heart pounding with excitement and nerves. Her opponent was a Skywing student who had tamed both a Flame Crane and a Deepsea Albatross, two powerful beasts with fire and water attributes, respectively. Maya also brought out her beast, a big Thunder Elemental Hawk.
Orion saw that Maya's opponent was taking out a Flame Crane and a Deepsea Albatross. Orion checked the data about the beast on his phone. He looked at the phone and targeted the camera at both of the beasts, and the information about them appeared. Orion looked at the information that appeared.

Orion saw the information about them. Orion looked at them, and the beasts looked quite powerful, but he felt that the beasts were still falling short of being compared with Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk.
Orion was also confused why Maya only took Thunder Elemental Hawk out. He knew that Maya had Thunder Elemental Tiger. The Skywing students were also surprised that Maya only took out one beast, but Maya simply said, "This is all I need."
The Skywing student was visibly taken aback by Maya's words, feeling humiliated that she would only need one beast to defeat him. "You underestimate me and my beasts," he said, a hint of anger in his voice. "But I'll show you that I'm not someone to be taken lightly."
The battle began, with the Skywing student ordering his Flame Crane and Deepsea Albatross, while Maya only had her Thunder Elemental Hawk. The beasts clashed in mid-air, with the Flame Crane and Deepsea Albatross attacking from both sides while Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk dodged and weaved through their attacks. Maya seemed to be in complete control, her Thunder Elemental Hawk moving with precision and speed that the other beasts couldn't match.
Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk was agile and swift, able to easily evade the attacks from the Flame Crane and Deepsea Albatross. With lightning-fast movements, the Thunder Elemental Hawk managed to land several critical hits on the Skywing student's beasts, slowly wearing them down. The Skywing student grew increasingly frustrated as his beasts struggled to keep up with Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk.
"Is that all you've got?" Maya taunted, her Thunder Elemental Hawk unleashing a powerful burst of thunder energy that sent the Flame Crane and Deepsea Albatross reeling. The Skywing student gritted his teeth, determined not to lose, and ordered his beasts to attack again.
The Flame Crane let out a deafening screech, unleashing a burst of flame towards Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk. But with lightning-fast reflexes, the Thunder Elemental Hawk dodged the attack and countered with a powerful Thunder Talons attack, striking the Flame Crane with a series of lightning-fast strikes that left it stunned.
The Deepsea Albatross retaliated with its own Aqua Tornado attack, creating a whirlwind of water around Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk. But Maya was quick to respond, ordering her Thunder Elemental Hawk to use its Thunderclap Dive attack, diving down onto the Albatross with a thunderous shockwave, causing the water around it to explode and leaving it vulnerable to a powerful Thunder Talons strike.
The Skywing student was growing increasingly frustrated, unable to land a single hit on Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk. "How are you doing this?" he shouted, his voice filled with anger and frustration.
Maya simply grinned, her Thunder Elemental Hawk soaring high into the sky. "It's simple. My bond with my beast is stronger than yours," she said, her voice echoing across the arena. "You may have powerful beasts, but you don't have the same level of connection and understanding that I do."
The Skywing student growled in anger and ordered his beasts to attack again. But Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk was one step ahead, dodging and countering every move with ease.
As the battle raged on, the Skywing student became more and more desperate, ordering his beasts to use their most powerful attacks. But Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk was able to dodge and counter them all, slowly wearing down the Skywing student's beasts.
Finally, Maya saw her opening. With lightning-fast reflexes, her Thunder Elemental Hawk swooped in and delivered a devastating Thunderstorm Summon attack, summoning a powerful thunderstorm that rained down lightning bolts upon the Skywing student's beasts.
The Flame Crane and Deepsea Albatross were left battered and defeated, lying on the ground and unable to fight any longer. The Skywing student stood there in shock, unable to believe that he had been so thoroughly defeated by Maya's Thunder Elemental Hawk.
Maya smiled and approached him, offering a hand to help him up. "It was a good battle," she said, her voice kind and sincere. "Your beasts are powerful, but remember that it's not just about strength. It's about the bond between you and your beast."
The Skywing student felt dejected and humiliated, unable to meet Maya's gaze. He knew that she was right, that his bond with his beasts was nowhere near as strong as Maya's. With a heavy heart, he silently left the arena, determined to train harder and build a stronger connection with his beasts.
Maya watched him go, her eyes filled with understanding and compassion. She knew how it felt to lose, but she also knew that every defeat was an opportunity to learn and grow. The battle soon continued, and the next opponent began to go to the arena.
