Chapter 150 Final Class Competition (Part IX)
[POV Third Person]
In the left corner, a female with short dark red hair with two spiral horns on the top of her head. With sharp teeth and a stern face, one would think the girl was a street delinquent.
In the right corner, opposite the girl on the left. She was a female one with more of a charm of beauty. Her long white hair and bright red eyes would easily be the center of attention.
Two opposites were now face-to-face in a match that would determine their standings. The female on the left was Ruby. Despite being at a disadvantage from the injuries she had received, from her expression alone, it didn't seem like it bothered her.
Ms. Colorful, the teacher of the class, had watched the both of them closely, studying their every move.
"Rebecca, I always had a tooth to pick with you. People claim you are the strongest, and today I will tear that image apart." Before the battle started, Ruby had said a few words before fighting.
"Do you think you could beat me with your injuries? Even if you weren't harmed, I would've still beat you." Rebecca had countered back, just in case the excuses Ruby would have made if she lost.
The two of them had nothing else to say, Ms. Colorful seeing that began the match. Both Ruby's and Rebecca's fighting styles were hand-to-hand. With the two rushing at each other, they began their first clash.
Ruby's, whose fist was covered in dark flames, made the first move. Trying to punch Rebecca, she teleported to Ruby's side.
Rebecca, who held two daggers, tried to stab Ruby in her chest. Ruby, seeing that flared her magic around her body, protecting herself from Rebecca's attack. Feeling danger, Rebecca, who used her magic, went back in an instant.
Clicking her tongue, Rebecca found Ruby a troublesome opponent. Like Charlie, Ruby had both offensive and defensive powers, making it hard to break through.
With Rebecca taking a step back, Ruby went on a rampage. Ruby knew that Rebecca's magic was something she couldn't afford to take lightly.
Having taken some damage from her previous fight, she needed to find a way to stop Rebecca from teleporting. Otherwise, Rebecca would win in terms of stamina.
Being reckless, Ruby flared her magic, randomly flinging all kinds of projectiles around Rebecca, making it hard for the bunny girl to dodge.
At the rate Ruby used a massive amount of mana, it wouldn't take long for her to lose all of her mana.
During this time, Ruby went on an extreme offensive without caring for her surroundings. Rebecca was dodging everything she could and gritting her teeth in frustration.
Ruby was running out of gas in her last ditch effort. Ruby created a large explosion making it impossible for Rebecca to run away.
With the explosion hitting, Ms. Colorful went to interfere with the battle. Ruby was down for the count, suffering from the loss of mana. She went down without any consciousness left.
"Ruby, you mad women!" Rebecca had shouted, clearly frustrated by the battle. She gripped her hands firmly on her dagger.
Suppose Ms. Colorful hadn't stopped the damage from Ruby. Rebecca would have been injured from the explosion that Ruby had caused.
The match was close. No one knew the results if Ruby were in prime condition. The only reason why Ruby went to the extreme was because of her stamina disadvantage.
Concluding the match, the rankings were over. In third place was Charlie, who earned three second-rank pure mana crystals. The second was Ruby, who got an artifact with a teleport function. Finally, first place was Rebecca, who won a phoenix pill.
With those three prizes given, the final class in Avaris was finally over. Some people stayed and chatted with their classmates while others left.
[Charlie's POV]
Having to earn the prize I got from the competition, Livie and I went home immediately after the class.
Taking out my prize, I handed it out to Livie. I did not need these crystals since they had no use for me.
"Could you tell me why you surrendered?" Livie, who had this question in her mind, had asked.
"There is a simple reason for that. Winning that fight was a trap." I said what I had thought.
"Trap?" Livie had wondered what I meant by that.
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk," I had shaken my head, and Livie was confused.
"Do you think our teacher Ms. Colorful would simply give a phoenix pill to a winner?" There was no chance for Ms. Colorful to do that. I found that unreasonable.
"How much do you think a phoenix pill is worth?" I asked Livie this question.
"I don't know... A lot?" What she said was correct but.
"Yes, a lot. So much that it could buy a small city." People around the world would want this. Not only could the pill recover one physical state but also any illness that one would have.
"Aaaa city!??" Livie had stuttered, hearing how much money could be given from selling such a thing.
"Tell me, Olivia, do you think our teacher is that nice to give us such an item? To someone not from this country?" My words had spoken to her. No one in the right mind would give such an item.
"Then why would she put it up as a prize?" Livie had asked, questioning why.
"To assassinate the winners." I was confident that this was the case.
"Assassination!??" Livie was scared shitless hearing that.
"Wasn't that going too far?" I shook my head at Livie's naivety.
"They want to win the upcoming tournament and would do anything to achieve this." I had given Livie the reason why this was the case.
"Do you understand now why I surrendered?" Livie nodded, fully understanding the situation.
"Good, use those three crystals to get to the third rank."
