Chapter 88 Class Battle (Part II)
Chapter 88 Class Battle (Part II)
"Ummm... I think Sonya could be the fourth strongest in our year regarding firepower, while Adeline wouldn't be much of a threat to you." While her opinion was simple, it was helpful. I didn't care much about our classmates, so I barely paid attention to them.
I wouldn't need to pay attention to my growth unless their importance had risen. But the people sent would at least be one of their school's top.
Not only that, the people here could be considered my future opponent. With how big the international battle would be, the Solaris family would clearly watch this fight.
If I perform poorly due to my carelessness, I would easily be disposed of by the Solaris. And with how proud the Solaris family could be, I had to reach one of the top ranks within the tournament.
I needed to grow stronger, to the point where the Solaris family had no way to harm me. While being in the family has its benefits, my future was guaranteed as long as I stayed alive.
My growth was much faster than everyone else. Also long as I stayed alive, I would be a powerhouse in this world. The second round was about to start with me thinking about my future.
The two of them were already in the arena. "I'm Rebecca Avaris, princess of the Avaris kingdom!" She was pretty cocky when she said that. She had white hair and red eyes. She is a bunny variant of beastmen.
Rebecca had been watching me closely, I didn't know why she was, but I felt I needed to stay away from her.
As the princess of this country, no one in Avaris has the right mind to want to draft her to a different country. With her introduction done, her opponent introduces herself to everyone.
"I'm... Rica from the... country of... Everest." She was intimidated by Rebecca's imposing aura, a person that had come from the same country. She looked at Rica with displeasure while the rest of the exchange students looked at Sydney, trying to get any information about her.
Rica was a small humanoid race. I didn't know if she was a human but was just small, or was she a dwarf? No, she was probably a dwarf. Everest was a country that lived in the mountains, and dwarfs liked to live in them.
The students of Avaris had a grin on their faces, showing their strength to the others. They are incredibly nationalist. I couldn't understand people with these thoughts.
Moving on, the battle was going to begin. With both of them ready, Rebecca had moved. Rica stood still, waiting for the best action to take.
In a split of time, Rebecca had instantly teleported a few steps ahead, moving closer to Rica. Rica was flustered, thinking of what to do. Rica tried to use her magic to shake Rebecca off.
Conquering a fly swat, Rica used it to try to hit Rebecca. Rebecca, who saw it, looked like she had paid no mind to it. Running in front of the giant swat, like before, she had teleported going over the swat.
Rica panicked seeing her attack miss. Summoning some more weapons, she aimed them toward Rebecca in a volley of waves.
Rebecca seeing this smirked, finding this amusing. "Is that all you got?" Flashing over the waves of weapons, Rebecca began to taunt Rica.
"If that's all, get off." Rebecca then teleported to Rica and kicked her in the face, sending Rica flying out of the arena. Rica was knocked out by that kick. Begrudgingly a student from Rica's school walked to her and picked her up, leaving her to sit on a wall.
Everyone who had watched the battle was wary of Rebecca. Her ability to teleport within a small range was highly troublesome. Not only that, it seems like she was very experienced in martial arts.
To me, it wasn't that worrying. I could create armor around me. With Rebecca's second-level strength, it would be impossible for her to hurt me instead. If she tried to hurt me, it would be her that would be wounded.
Sonya, who had battled earlier, looked at Rebecca. A competitive aura could be seen within her. Rebecca felt her gaze smirk at her, probably finding that competitive drive interesting.
With both of these battles finished, more continued. Watching all of these fights, I would say that most of the battles we watched were less attractive than the first two.
While there are some people I had to watch for, I'm confident I could easily overwhelm anyone I have to battle.
"Alright, everyone! now that everyone has battled, the class will be over for the day, and you'll be free to do what you want for the rest of the day." Ms. Colorful said that she had left the gym.
Now that class was over, both Olivia and I could do whatever we wanted. We had wanted to buy a smaller table for yesterday's dinner.
"Olivia, do you want to go shopping for the things we need?" We both have nothing to do, so why not just buy what we need first? And besides, I'm not here to make friends with anyone, so I wanted to leave immediately.
Olivia nodded, and the both of us were just going to leave. Someone called out to me as we were about to leave the area.
"Hey! You with the blonde hair!" I knew who that arrogant voice belonged. Rebecca, the princess of Avaris, was calling out to me.
"Olivia, my love. Always stay away from these people. They attract too much attention." I muttered quietly, loud enough for only Oliva to hear.
Olivia could only agree. She also didn't want to get involved with someone like Rebecca, so we walked as fast as possible, leaving them out of sight.
This may make Rebecca angry, but if we ignore her long enough, we should make her lose interest in us. I don't know why she was interested in us, but I could only hope that it was nothing significant.
