Unlasting World

The commentator announced, and Maneil shot away the water dragon at Mero. Mero then quickly formed a two layered wall from water and rock to slow down the dragon's force, but the dragon still managed to punch through it.

Mero, however, had predicted this. He leaped up extremely high and shot away his small water dragon from his hands while his whole body was being gulped down by the water dragon.

"Heh? A small water attack like this?"

She lifted her left arm and stopped the smaller water dragon, and it stopped mid air. But what she didn't realize was that Mero had another plan.

From inside the giant water dragon's stomach, he moved his hand and controlled the water dragon he just shot.

No, he controlled what was inside of the water dragon.

With a single flick of his wrist, wet sand came out of the small water dragon and smacked Maneil in the face.

"Mmph!!!"

The wet sand stuck itself on Maneil's face and did not move an inch. Maneil then releases her water dragon and tries to peel away the wet sand from her face, but it's like glued to her face. She can't just peel it away.

The water dragon has fallen and disappeared. Mero dropped to his feet while the water around him wet the ground. He immediately casted his earth magic to create a stump on Maneil's legs.

With another single flick of his wrist, stones rose on Maneil's feet and completely removed her ability to move.

Still unable to get rid of the sand on her face, Maneil couldn't move from her position and was moving around as she tried so hard to peel it away.

Then, a heavy pressure came from her magic soul.

"Oh dear, she is mad."

I mumbled as I watched her whole body get engulfed in a powerful water whirlpool. The water cladded her entire body and removed the sand from her face along the process. When the sand got removed, she immediately used the water covering her entire body and turned it into water armor, and now she is cladded in a full water armor.

"… You are so dead."

"Hii--!!!"

The next whole minute is just filled with Mero screaming while getting his butt kicked by Maneil. She has turned into a complete sadist and started torturing Mero immediately.

After the battle ended, Mero looked quite traumatized and said that he will never dare to challenge Maneil again. Maneil was known to be sadistic, after all.

Meanwhile on group A, the battle ended sooner than the other. Arfius didn't hold back at all and smacked Jelmond away right after the match began. Jelmond can't even put up a fight against him, the gap between the two is just too high.

And now onto the next battle. In group A, we have a class A student and the last member of class B fighting each other, while in group B, Jericho is going against a class A student.

"Begin!!"

The battle ended quite quickly. Jericho didn't hold back at her attack and caused the opponent to lose his balance. By the time he realized, Jericho was already in front of him and he got smacked away out of the arena.

Meanwhile in group A, the two fought quite intensely. The person from class B is probably the highest ranking one since he is on par with the class A.

But in the end, the class A student won the battle, and with that, all the students from class B, C, and D were completely wiped out from the competition.

The next game is finally my turn.

"Good luck. Don't choke."

I nodded at Jericho and left her to the arena. Currently I am going against a member of class A, while in group A, two students from class E are fighting each other. I think those two are best buddies. They are a part of Elmone's little gang.

"Begin!!"

The commentator announced and the battle began. The person in front of me attacked me using all of his magic energy, but I simply put up a shadow wall in front of me.

When I took down the shadow wall, he was already meters away from me.

ZRING!!!

The sound of the wind getting sliced can be heard as this guy swung his hand, augmented with wind magic.

"Woah, those are dangerous."

I understand that his magic is indeed dangerous. But in terms of close combat, I am unbeatable.

I grabbed his hand and pushed it down without having magic at all. As he tried to get back up, I grabbed his other hand and locked him on the ground. He groaned as he tried to escape.

I glared at the referee. He nodded at me and announced me winner.

"Well, that was an easy win."

Jericho said to me when I returned to the side next to her.

"At least he didn't give up right off the bat."

"True… That's progress."

I turned to her with an annoyed expression, but she ignored me and watched the battle in the other arena.

Afterwards, the battle on group A ends and continues with the next battle. And once that battle ended, we finally began the next stage of the semifinals.

"Okay, everyone! We have finally arrived on the second stage of the semifinals! And from the looks of it, the list is dominated by class E right now! Interesting!!

The four students in group A, two of them are from class E while another two is from class A. While the four in group B, three of them are from class E and another one is from class A.

Looks like class E is dominating the tournament, folks! But we shall see!

Next up, in group A, we have Arfius on play with his own classmate! While in group B, we have the infamous angel Jericho and the sadistic speed mage Maneil against each other!!

Now this is an interesting match up! Jericho and Maneil were known to be class E's top students and they have been rivalling with one another in terms of both score and strength!

Today, we shall see who is the best!!"

The crowd turned wild from hearing that and somehow, class E's reputation has gone quite high.

She is not wrong, though. This is an interesting match up, indeed.

Jerico and Maneil then walked to the arena and glared at each other menacingly. Meanwhile on the group A, the poor classmate of Arfius is pleading at him.

"Please Arfius! Go easy on me!"

"I don't go easy with anyone. So you might as well put up your best fight."

"Hii!!"

Oh, that guy is dead.

Jericho and Maneil are still glaring at each other. The two recognized each other as strong, but they had no intention of losing. Jericho glared at Maneil with a fearsome look, while Maneil grinned back with a demeaning one.

The two had some streaks of lightning coming out as a result of their gazes clashing, and it gets more intense by the second.

This is it. The two best fighters in class E.
