Chapter 130 A Strong Healer
"Group A1 and A2, B1 and B2, C1 and C2, please move forward." A man's voice resounded inside of the arena, and all those who were in the spectators seat cheered for the incoming team.
"I thought we would have been bored all day by staying in our dedicated room, but seems like it would be interesting." A girl with light-blue hair said. She was by Kye's side and was talking to her teammates. Kye took a look at her watch to see her level and saw the number '6' on it. "You got a problem?" The girl raised an eyebrow when she saw Kye.
"No, not at all." He quickly averted his gaze and looked toward the arena.
'Seriously when will things change? My watch shows the number 3 now, but people keep picking up fights with me. I have the impression that nothing had changed even after having gotten an ability. Does the system we're living it at fault, or people's mentality?' fπβ―πππππ·oΡ΅πΖ.c૦π
Kye sighed internally as he thought that. When he was still at a low level, he thought that it was normal for high levels to bully those under them. But now that he was slowly getting stronger and getting higher level, he had the impression that seems weren't as simple as this, and that it wasn't people's fault, but the way they learned to live.
Society told them since their childhood that the only way to survive in this world was to get stronger. And as one gets stronger, they see other as trash, and thus they started bullying people and felt great about it. They felt a great feeling because they felt stronger every time they stomped on someone.
So Kye didn't know if the problem lay in the people who lived in this society or the society in itself which teaches people those values.
"Woaaaaahhhhh!"
"Goooddddd luck Samy!"
"Yugo you're the best!"
Kye's thought got interrupted by the students' loud cheer. And as he focused a little bit on the arena, he could see one of his friends. Yugo to be more precise. He was with three other people. Three girls to be more precise. One of them has fiery red hair and orange eyes. Another one has Black hair and blue eyes, while the last one had pink hair and a cute face.
Their name was respectively, Saya, Kohim, and Solu, and the three of them were level 5.
"What a great team he's in. This lucky bastard." Kye could hear the girl by his side say with a grin. He didn't know why, but he has the impression that she knew Yugo.
On the opposite side of Yugo's team were four male students. A black hair and eyes boy named Samy was level 6, a blond hair and blue eyes boy named Chris who was level 5, a blue hair and hazel eyes boy who was also level 6, and his name was Isis, and the last boy who was level 1 and has brown hair and eyes, his name was Graval.
"What an exciting first fight. We have on both sides two very strong teams." The man who called the teams earlier shouted once again, heating the audience's hype. "On one side we have the great member of the Pendora family, while on the other end of the arena, we have the Salva's family descendant. The greatest supportive family that mankind has ever known. Their great healing ability is known to even heal the deadliest wound."
"WOAHHHH!"
"Let's goooooooo!"
'Seems like the presenter makes a great job in hyping the audience.'
"Now, if everyone's ready, please be prepared because we'll start in a few seconds."
"3," The presenter said.
"2" The audience yelled with him.
"1" Everyone shouted in excitement. This event was sure an exam, but it was also a way to relieve people's stress. The program at the military academy wasn't easy, so events like this were needed to make the student's stress go down.
"Begin."
Yugo's group was the first to act. Two opposite elements suddenly appeared out of nowhere and danced together. It was Saya's and Kohim's abilities. Fire and water. But that wasn't all. Solu also activated her ability. And suddenly, both water and fire expanded in size until they became big enough that they looked like two giant houses.

Seeing that, the opposite team reacted in the kind. Samy activated his darkness ability and shot two spears made of pure darkness toward the two big houses made purely of elements. Chril who was on his side knew that he needed to distract Yugo or else the two big attacks will disqualify him in an instant. So he transformed his body into lightning and shot toward Yugo.
But he was already a step too late, even though he was as fast as lightning.
Yugo intercepted him mid-way and isolated him in another space. Chril tried to destroy it, but nothing happened. It was as if the space element of Yugo completely erased his lightning ability.
Yugo then created two gates with his ability. One for the two spears and the other in the isolated space Chril was in.
Darkness was a destructive power, but a very slow one as well. So it was easy to stop it.
The fire and the water element slowly stabilized and the girls made their moves toward their enemies. Alas, because of their size, it was extremely slow. Even slower than Sam's darkness ability.
"Chril be careful!" Samy shouted when he saw a dimensional gate open in the confined space Chril was in.
"Guess it was easier than I thought. But well, what can you do with a level 1..." The girl by Kye's side said with a haughty tone, but her smile quickly disappeared when she saw that all the ability disappeared inside the arena.
"Do you guys seriously think that I'll let you beat my teammates so easily?" Isis smiled as he clapped his hands, and every single ability inside the arena disappeared, be it his teammates' ability or his opponent's.
