BXBX NOVEL Chapter 216 Moving On To The Next Round
Everyone was surprised to see someone come into the arena with a mystic weapon, a first-year student for that matter.
"And we thought nobody in Crockel had a mystic weapon," Pearl said.
"It has to be a common or intermediary weapon," Tammy said.
"Why do you say so?" Pearl asked.
"Because if it was higher than these two grades, that lightning bolt would have done some real damage to that boy," Tammy explained.
Orah slowly got up from the floor as he tried to come up with ways to defend himself against the next lightning bolts.
He could use his demon abilities and skills to make the fight a lot easier for him but that would expose his aura, trigger the demon detectors around and blow his cover.
"So what grade is that spear?" Orah asked.
He already had a theory of what grade the spear might be but he needed to be sure.
"It\'s an intermediate-grade weapon," Scarlett said, pointing the spear at him. "But I don\'t think that\'s what you should be worried about now."
Another lightning bolt was shot toward Orah but this time he was ready as he jumped up and spun horizontally to avoid the lightning bolt.
\'If that spear is intermediate grade just like she said, that means it won\'t be able to shoot many lightning bolts before it needs to cool down.\' Orah thought.
An intermediary weapon meant she didn\'t have many shots to waste and just like Orah had predicted, she was going to try and make good use of the shots she had left.
Orah charged in towards her and just like he had expected, she didn\'t fire lightning bolts at him as she got her spear ready.
Just as Orah got close, Scarlett spun her spear and tried to knock him back with it but Orah was fast enough to jump back on time unaware that he had just made a mistake.
"I\'ve got you now," Scarlett said with a smile as a lightning bolt shot out from the spear.
The impact from the close blast knocked him up and while he was still mid-air, Scarlett blasted him with another lightning bolt.
"Owwww," Ella said.
"Doesn\'t he have a soul weapon?" Silvia asked.
"I don\'t think he does," Luis said, waving his head.
"Yeah but he has an ability, I wonder why he isn\'t using his fire ability," Ella said.
"He told you that he has fire ability?" Luis asked, he was quite confused as to why Orah would tell someone that he had an ability that he wouldn\'t be able to use in the open.
"Yeah," Ella said, staring at Luis for a while before turning her gaze back to the screen.
Scarlett and most of the students watching the fight didn\'t expect Orah to get up after getting shot by two lightning bolts at once but their expectations were cut short as the young Demon slowly dragged himself to the ground until he had one knee on the ground.
"That was really painful." He groaned. There was dirt all over his face now.
"Oh, come on," Scarlett said, sounding frustrated.
"Maybe one more blast will do the trick."
She thought Orah was in a really vulnerable state and wouldn\'t be able to avoid her lightning bolt like he had done before but she was shocked as she shot the lightning bolt and the young Demon avoided the attack with a really impressive flip.
"How was he able to avoid that?" Silvia said, she found it quite impressive that someone who was supposed to have gotten drained by those lightning attacks was able to do a move like that.
"You don\'t have to sound surprised, Ella was struck by a more painful lightning attack," Monica said, looking at Ella.
"Because she has lightning ability," Silvia said.
"A very strong one if you ask me," Monica said.
Ella tried not to pay attention to Monica\'s words as she kept her gaze on the screen.
"How are you still standing and able to do that!!" Scarlett yelled as she shot another lightning bolt towards the young Demon who quickly rolled out of the way to avoid it.
He wasn\'t ready for what was coming next as Scarlett shot three lightning bolts in different directions all heading for me.
The lightning bolts were all coming from the directions where his possible movements would be, giving him no space to avoid the attacks.
"Uh oh," Orah said as the three lightning bolts closed up on him as a cloud of thick dust was created hiding him from everyone\'s view.
"There\'s no one he\'s going to be still standing after that," Pearl said.
"Yeah," Tammy said, waiting for the dust to clear up.
Pearl and Tammy weren\'t the only ones who had the same train of thought but just as the dust cleared up, everyone was shocked to see that Orah was still standing but his face and clothes were covered in dust now.
"I don\'t know how they do it, but these martial arts students just keep impressing me today." Lieutenant Kate said.
"How did he avoid those attacks?" Kelvin said.
"Maybe he used some sort of ability." General Freelyn said.
"Yeah," Michael said.
He wanted to say something else but just as he was about to speak, his phone began to vibrate in his pocket.
"What?" He said placing the phone against his ear.
"Are you sure about what you\'re saying?" He asked.
He waited for a while as he listened to the person speaking at the other side.
"Call Nicole and tell her about it, she\'ll know what to do," Kelvin said, ending the call.
"Is there a problem?" General Freelyn asked, noticing Kelvin\'s sudden mood change.
Scarlett couldn\'t believe what was happening, she had used the last of her lightning bolt blasts to do that special attack and yet it had failed to bring Orah down.
This was the moment Orah had been waiting for as he used his Martial arts footwork to avoid Scarlett\'s attacks while parrying away the close ones with his hands.
Scarlett was being quite careless with her attacks but Orah kept his composure and kept avoiding and parrying her attacks as he slowly stepped back.
Everyone was quiet as they tried to take in this intense scene which may be the last part of this crazy battle.
"He\'s trying to wear her out," Monica said after watching Scarlett attack with her spear effortlessly without getting a hit in.
"And she\'s foolishly falling for it," Silvia said.
After a while of trying to hit Orah with her spear, her attacks began to get slow as her breathing increased.
"It\'s time for you to rest now," Orah said as he caught her spear by its pointed part and with a little of his strength pushed it so that the other part hit Scarlett on her stomach and knocked her back.
She wasn\'t unconscious but she had gotten so tired that she couldn\'t do anything besides panting as she lay on the ground.
Lieutenant Kate observed her for a while to see if she would get up and when it seemed like that wasn\'t happening she had to declare Orah the winner.
"Another martial arts student makes it to the next round, Lieutenant Kate said. "Out of the six martial arts students that fought in this round only one of them got eliminated."
That was quite an impressive feat from the martial arts students which meant that out of the nine first-year students to make it to the next round, five were martial arts students.
"The first year\'s part was interesting but I\'m expecting more and better from the second year students in the second round." Lieutenant Kate said.
