Chapter 222 - Tournament Of The Elite Part 3
*Sigh*
The blue haired boy sighed while looking at the thousands of filled seats and people cheering him and his team on, Shin could not be more thankful for Kayla for keeping their opponent\'s powers a secret.
\'Naturally, giving out the secret of this enemy team to the rest of our (future) enemies was a bad move…\' he thought while clutching his hydro daggers even harder.
Looking towards Kayla, Shin could see her calculated smile and could not help but feel relaxed that she was starting to make her move.
\'Man, this is so unfair for our opponents, hehe…\' he grinned while looking at the enemy team\'s leader with a pitiful expression. \'The moment Kay had collected enough data about any team, they\'d be pretty much done for.\'
"Amira," he called out loud while moving towards the edge of the arena with the little brown haired girl. "We can relax now, I guess it\'s another win for us, thanks to Kayla."
"Ah!" Amira agreed while nodding her head vigorously. "Kay is so amazing!"
Although their opponent could hear them, they couldn\'t care less. No, they didn\'t have the guts to even account for them in the presence of such a predator.
Although Kayla looked unbelievably innocent, even more than a tiny baby, everyone knew she was the predator here. Everyone could feel it.
She has proven that fact so many times throughout this tournament that no one could believe their eyes at first.
After her first match, the number of audience has drastically increased. Everyone wanted to see this rumoured deadly angel with their own eyes.
That was partially why Shin and Amira believed in Kayla so much that they were sure it was their victory for this match. It wasn\'t her first time.
...
In the center of the arena stood calmly the dark purple haired girl that was now the center of attention. A grin was plastered across her face as she contemplated, \'how should I end this match now?
\'Hm, since this is sort of like a testing ground, why don\'t I test something that Raven would benefit from?\' Of course, while Kayla cared about this tournament and all, her end goal was always to make Raven stronger.
\'While she has made some tremendous improvements in power level and mana control since I, and secretly Avavia, have helped her with the Mana Refinement process, nothing can prevent her from getting even stronger!\'
She could feel her opponents\' anxiety, yet she didn\'t care. She wasn\'t planning on killing them. \'Plus, many healers were present at the arena so they should not be so worried about their lives.
\'Also, I know that they want to win badly. But alas, the victory if this match has long left their grasp.\'
With that thought in mind, Kayla\'s grin suddenly got more intense as her aura flared around her.
\'System. Admin command. Activate prototype 5.2: Cyber Valkyrie Battlesuit Armour.\'
[Admin command received.]
A quick system message flashed in her mind.
[Activating prototype 5.2 of the Cyber Valkyrie Battlesuit Armour.]
Instantly, Kayla\'s purple mana surrounding her got darker as it was condensed into liquid form. The liquid suddenly changed colour into sparkling black cyber matter that was coated with silver circuitry-like nodes all over.
The refined cyber matter seemed to devour Kayla\'s body in a similar manner to Raven\'s shadow armour.
Suddenly, hissing sounds thundered across the now silent arena as a dark purple mist covered everything from sight.
Mere moments later, the purple mist seemed to quickly get absorbed by the figure standing at the center of the arena, Kayla.
Her entire body was covered in a light cyber-matter armour that looked more intimidating than she had meant it to be.
Covering her amused eyes was a beautifully designed silver-white visor that was an improved version of her analysis skill.
This was similar to Raven\'s True Sight; it enabled her to see the flow of mana and corresponding mana core, veins, and nodes in her opponents\' bodies.
Behind her, about fifteen swords were floating in a graceful manner while vibrating with energy, resembling two widely spread threatening, yet insanely beautiful, wings.
Seven black swords were floating at each side, left and right, while the fifteenth sword was left as a short floating tail for her battlesuit.
While they were black and immensely powerful, the faint hint of silver glow from the edge of their blades made them look almost royal, demanding respect.
The overall appearance of the battlesuit was breathtaking, evident by the way the massive crowd had forgotten to inhale their necessary dose of oxygen. Loud coughs filled the stadium shortly after the first shock.
Looking at herself in admiration, Kayla\'s grin got even wider. "Oho~ this would look sick on Raven!" Her smile went from pure into vicious in a matter of seconds.
"Entertain me!" She called out to her three opponents that found it hard to make eye contact, but rather kept imagining the relief they\'d feel, and pain they\'d avoid, if they were to surrender right now.
But alas, this was the first time Kayla had shown this prototype in action, and she wasn\'t planning on walking away from today\'s arena without properly testing it.
Whistle~
Camilla and Ramira both whistled in admiration at the same time. Everyone else had their eyes glued to the girl in the battlesuit as she looked almost terrifyingly majestic.
In contrast to everyone else\'s expressions, Scott had a deep smile in his face that almost looked greedy. \'Just the thought of our army wearing something like that is terrifying!
\'This girl was the same one that had created the many teleportation bracelets, is it not possible for her to supply us with such battlesuits for the war? Hehe, is she hinting that she could do it if we were able to pay the right price? Vicious…
\'I remember the first time she had shown her true form… Raven had clearly said that Kayla is a precious person to her heart, and anyone who messes with her was going to die.
\'Yes, I remember clearly how she had made that bold threat as if she was stating a simple fact. Such a scary little girl. But at the same time, I know how smart and calculating she really is.
\'How much will she want for one of those battlesuits? *Groan* I am jumping ahead of myself. Let us just watch the beauty of this little girl\'s creation first, we\'ll discuss her intentions later…\'
