Just after Alex had captured his first flag, in another field.
A red-haired young girl was standing proudly in front of her teammates, flames were dancing around her as if to praise her. Gracier was coldly looking down on her two teammates who had thought they could look down on her, order her around because they were a little bit stronger than her.
The two lowered their heads not daring to look at Gracier in the eyes, if they had known she was this fiery they wouldn't have provoked her.
They just wanted to be the leader of this team and order as she is weaker than them, however, the way they showed it was wrong, they got slapped and put in their place instead.
''You two go to east and capture the flag over. You better succeed or else humph!''
''Hiih! We will.'' the two nodded their heads before standing, they were scared of Gracier beyond words, previously they said she'll act as a decoy, she had no choice, now it was them who had no choice other than to follow and accomplish Gracier's order.
Suddenly, Gracier's disappeared leaving the two who were planning to go speechless as they weren't able to see at all, they only saw a scorched footprint on the ground, nothing else.
Shaking their heads, the couple left.
On the other side, Gracier was moving at fast speed toward the nearest flag while using her movement skill, Blaze steps, each time she takes a step, the ground underneath her foot will become scorched while she'd reappeared two hundred meters away.
Soon, she could see the flag in front of her, however, to her surprise she was not the only one present, another person was running toward the flag, it was someone she knew, Amy Stone, the pink-haired girl, the vixen planning to ensnare her brother.
Gracier expression darkened, while moving she materialized Ignia's bracelet into her golden bow and took aim.
At the same time, Amy also sensed Gracier, she was surprised, previously she was too focused ahead, however, now that she knew someone was planning the same thing as her, her target sister to boot she decided to play with her, this changed when she noticed the hostility coming from Gracier as the latter did not choose to hide it. Amy grinned.
'I'll teach this little girl a lesson.' Amy thought before summoning three meters long water whip, it was her Gift.
Both girls were two hundred meters away from the flag, smirking Amy, her water whip elongated from three meters to fifty, then hundred, hundred fifty, and soon it was about to reach the flag.
However, before it could a Fire arrow coming from the sky fell near the flag and then created a two meters wide flame ring around the flag.
Boom!
The water whip retreated after clashing against the flame ring.
Amy's face darkened, she immediately recalled her water whip back and used it to defend against three incoming fire arrows.
While defending against the fire arrows, she was pushed back, 'This girl is a monster.' she thought.
A provoking voice reached Amy's ears, ''I'll be taking this flag. I hope you will be faster if not you won't be able to get anything, hehehe.'
Amy stood there frozen as she had not expected Gracier to be this strong, while she was dealing with her fire arrows, the latter disappeared and reappeared in the flame ring, she calmly took the flag before leaving, not without provoking Amy.
''Damn it, little brat, just wait. I'll teach you a lesson.'' Amy said while biting her nail, she had never felt so humiliated in her life, and to think it was the fault of a little girl weaker than her, this was a hard slap harder to swallow. She must retaliate, it was going to be one bloody hell of retaliation.
The audience outside was surprised seeing Gracier's match, most of the teachers present did not expect Gracier to be so strong. While a group was watching Gracier's match with interest wanting to know who will be the final winner in the confrontation between Gracier and Amy, another group was focused on Alex's match.
'First Flag taken. Let's move on.' Alex said after taking the first flag. He disappeared and reappeared few times, he was already in front of the second flag, like before he didn't meet any rival team members, so he secured the flag.
Suddenly, his expression changed as he got an alert from his wristband that the rival team had already taken the last flag! His team was too late. It was not all, Roman's presence vanished, he must have been eliminated, Cyril was sending Alex a distress signal.
Before the match, Alex learned that team members can send each other distress signals during the competition in case they need help. So, considering the current situation, Roman being eliminated, Cyril must be in a pretty bad situation for him to ask for Alex's assistance.
'Oh! Only one person was able to take care of them. He must be pretty strong. I wonder who's it?' Alex wondered as he could feel two presences moving in his direction, they must be coming to deal with him.
'Hehehe, I need to hurry. So, ain't playing with you.' Alex said with a devilish grin.
The two coming towards Alex sensed him coming in their direction, they wondered if the other party was a foul, instead of fleeing he chose to come over.
However,
*Swoosh*
"Huh? What just happened?" The two boys were confused as they suddenly felt something touching their wrists and a sudden gust of wind brushing pasting their bodies.
"Noooo! My wristband is gone!!" The boys were shocked as they looked at their wrists. It had disappeared, they weren't even able to see the other party. ''This is-''
However, before they say anything else, they disappeared as they got teleported out.
Alex only chuckled not saying anything as he continued moving in Cyril's direction.
〖Master, you'd be surprised once you found out who is the other party.〗Silveria said after yawning, she was bored as there was no action, therefore she scanned the direction they were going in, it was then she'd seen something interesting.
'Oh? I'm sure I'm going to like that surprise.'
Alex said not asking anything else. He was almost there, so why ask? He prefers seeing for himself, it is a surprise, after all, learning it now would not be a surprise any longer.
Silveria chuckled as she had expected such a reaction so she was not surprised.
In another location, stepping on someone was a young man with a sword coated in flame in his hand. He wore a demonic grin.
