“How was I?” Barbara asked.
“Although you’re not good at using a sword, you managed to go against it,” Amon said and even smiled a little, “You were amazing at beating her.”
“Amon~!” If it were possible, Barbara’s eyes would have taken the shape of a heart right then. If she hadn’t been stopped by Julia, she would have hugged and kissed him right there.
“There are a lot of people around; don’t do anything vulgar here,” Julia said in a low voice.
“Vulgar?” Barbara pouted, trying to free herself from Julia’s arms, “I wasn’t going to do anything vulgar! I was just going to hug him and maybe kiss him. Where is that vulgar?”
If that’s vulgar, she didn’t even want to think what Julia would think about what she’d done while they were in the medicinal bath…
Barbara added, “You say that, but you’ve hugged and kissed him before in public.”
“Err… It’s not the same thing.” Julia lost her composure a little. “There weren’t that many people around us when I did this.”
“It doesn’t matter, as everyone’s attention is on the arena instead of us.” Barbara crossed her arms under her breasts, not wanting to give in.
“Anyway, don’t do it all the time. Heavens, control yourself, little girl!” Julia put her hands on Barbara’s shoulders and shook her a little.
“Okay, okay.” After so much insistence on Julia’s part, Barbara gave up for the time being.
Suddenly, someone on Xena’s team said, “I will go next!” At the same time, he jumped into the air and landed in the arena.
Julia used the watch she had and managed to see the boy’s information. Although he hadn’t created a genetic factor yet, he was at level 95. If he wanted to, he could go through baptism and create a genetic factor without needing to reach level 100. Of course, being just a freshman, he had no need to undergo baptism. Even if it was only 5 levels, it made all the difference.
“My name is Xerox. Let’s have a good fight.” He bowed with his hands as a sign of respect to his opponent while speaking in a very serious tone.
“Likewise,” Maisa said casually. She made the same gesture with her hands as well.
The judge saw that the two were ready, and said aloud, “Begin!”
The instant those words came out of his mouth, the sword in Xerox’s hand caught fire with a fierce red flame.
The sledgehammer in Maisa’s hand grew to just over a meter. She fixed her unblinking eyes in Xerox’s direction. Around her sledgehammer, water began to swirl around as she entered battle-mode while taking her aura form of a feline.
Xerox pointed his sword towards the sky. Shortly thereafter, fireballs shot out of the sword’s tip in succession. Maisa looked up to the sky and saw that the fireballs had already picked up enough altitude and she could feel that she had become the target of the fireballs. When she looked at Xerox at the same time, she realized that he seemed to control the fireballs that had already separated from his body.
‘Is this a spell?’ she wondered. ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖
Without considering for a long time, five water balls appeared in front of Maisa. She then, instead of launching them toward the fireballs that were in the air, arched her body similar to a golf player. She made the head of her sledgehammer grow until it was able to hit all of the water balls from beneath.
*BANG!*
The impact was too great. If she hadn’t created a shield around the water balls, they would have exploded like water balloons.
Not caring if it would work or not, Maisa ran towards Xerox. Her speed was very fast when making the sledgehammer reduce in size to less than a meter.
Although he didn’t expect her to be able to win with this attack, Xerox was taken aback by the way Maisa counterattacked. Not to mention that he realized how little time it took for Maisa to arrive in front of him. Xerox didn’t feel confident going against her hand to hand. The power displayed by Maisa when using the sledgehammer proved that he wouldn’t be able to defend himself. Maybe he could dodge her attack, but defending himself was practically suicide for him.
Xerox used a moving spell and dodged to the right, but it was as if Maisa had anticipated his action and she changed her sledgehammer’s attack route, making it grow while attacking from the side. Xerox’s expression has changed dramatically; he was unable to avoid that attack.
“Ahh!” he screamed in fear. The boy’s expression involuntarily went pale. He even felt his body tense up. At that moment, he had no idea how to survive this attack.
“Urgh-ahhhhhhhh!”
Followed by a painful scream, Xerox was sent flying. His body flew through the air in an elegant and beautiful arc, dripping blood along the way. The situation was like a normal person being sent flying by a high-speed truck.
*Thud!*
Hitting the barrier around the arena and falling to the ground with a loud thud, Xerox went inactive, unable to continue the fight.
“Winner: Maisa Queiroz!”
As soon as the announcement of the end of the match was given, a teacher who knew how to use healing spells went over to Xerox. Two other teachers helped her bring Xerox to an area for better treatment.
Meanwhile, the remaining members of Xena’s team trembled in fear as they looked at Maisa, who remained in the arena. Among their team, Xerox had been the second strongest, second only to Xena. Now that even he lost so easily, there was no way they would dare go and challenge her, mainly due to the fear of being hammered by that scary sledgehammer capable of turning their bones into flour…
Xena understood this and she yelled, “My team gives up!”
“Wow!!”
“Maisa is so powerful!”
“But isn’t she very brutal?”
“This is a duel. Did you expect her to give flowers to the opponent, yes?”
Discussions echoed from all sides while applause came from all directions after Xena announced that her team had given up.
Maisa returned to her team. She tried to look calm, but her face continually trying to form a smile gave her excitement away.
“Congratulations,” Amon told her.
“Congratulations, Maisa,” followed the girls.
Maisa couldn’t contain herself any longer and ended up smiling a lot. Sure, it was against someone who had not yet formed a genetic factor, but before that it had been unthinkable that she would be able to defeat someone of Xerox’s caliber. It was clear that Xerox was a genius, but he ended up running into Maisa, who surpassed his genius with great luck…
