Chapter 136 Duel!

Chapter 136 Duel!

'Wasn't it supposed to be a simple duel?' Luis thought inwardly as he glanced sideways to look at the crowd of students cheering. In the audience, Alicia was frowning while Professor Olivia, who had just appeared a moment ago, stood beside her, looking over with interest.

'Since Professor Olivia is not stopping us, that means she has no problem with us dueling. Right?' Thinking so, Luis looked in front of him to face the excited Diana, full of battle intent. Ben stood on the side as he had taken the initiative to become the referee of this duel.

Luis was still wondering why they were making it look like an official duel. When it's just a simple fighting match.

"Can we start already?"

His thoughts came to a sudden stop because of Diana's question.

"Yes, let's start!" Luis replied with a faint smile. As he thought inwardly, 'As long as this match goes as I want, my plan of making Diana my thug will proceed smoothly.'

Ben, as the referee, carried out his job with profound seriousness. "This is a duel between Diana Tres from Leviathan Class and Luis Suarez, also from Leviathan Class. The time limit is 15 minutes, and the fighters shall fight until the opponent is knocked out or surrenders."

Then, he warned them seriously. "In case of serious injuries, the duel shall stop immediately. Prohibiting the rules may lead to serious consequences."

Luis looked at his friend with a speechless expression, and complained inwardly, 'Bro, this is just a friendly duel, okay?! Not some death match between mortal enemies!'

Professor Olivia looked at Ben with slight surprise. 'This student has a talent for being a referee.' Of course, it was just a momentary thought. What she appreciated more was that he took his job seriously even in an official duel. This shows his personality, and she likes this kind of diligent student.

"Are the two of you ready?!" Ben asked loudly.

Diana nodded excitedly and shouted. "YES!"

Luis also answered calmly, "Yes, I am."

"In that case, after my countdown, this duel shall begin," Ben said, and raising his hand in the air, he did the reverse count. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"THREE!"

"TWO!"

"ONE!"

Then, slashing his hand downwards, he shouted. "FIGHTERS!!! FACE-OFF!!!"

"What do you mean?"

"Can't you see? They have only attacked each other with punches! The fight has just started! They have yet to show any real moves!"

"Right! Luis is a Thunder Element user, and he hasn't used his element until now!"

"But will he even use it? I heard it was just a friendly match between them!"

"Well, we can only wait and see!"

Professor Olivia also heard the talk between the students. But she didn't say anything about it and continued observing the battle silently.

Alicia, who was standing beside Olivia, was slightly surprised by the power that she felt from Diana's punches. 'Her physical attacks are good. I might not be able to defeat her with martial arts alone.'

---

Diana's punches got fiercer and fiercer as she felt the power behind Luis' punches. "You were holding back before!"

"So were you," Luis said calmly, as the speed of his punches also increased, following Diana.

Diana grinned and said, "In that case, let's try this."

"Jungle Karate: Kangaroo Style Kick!"

Her thighs swelled a little then, combining her kangaroo style along with her previous gorilla style. Diana started attacking Luis with her powerful fists and kicks simultaneously.

Luis only used his pure martial arts, along with Mana Coating, to cope with her attacks.

The intensity of their fight increased several times. Because of their collisions, the surrounding ground had several pits and cracks.

But Luis and Diana didn't care about any of that and kept on attacking each other.

Diana felt her blood boiling because of the intensity. She was very excited in her heart and happy about her decision to challenge him.

If not for that, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience this amazing battle.

'As I thought, coming to Oracle Academy was my best decision. I knew I could find powerful opponents of my age.'

At this moment, Diana had a feeling that she was going to enjoy her academic life.
