Chapter 209 You Call That Lightning

Ella was shocked by the bombshell Luis had just dropped on her, it just didn't sound like something Dylan would do.

"How did he even get to know this third year and why does he want to kill you?" Ella asked.

"We will have to save those questions for him," Luis said, looking around to see if he could spot Dylan in the arena.

He knew the answer to those questions but he just didn't want to tell her not in a place like this.

"He hasn't entered here since the both of you left," Ella said.

"Great, he's hiding now," Luis said as he turned his gaze to the screen above.

The fight between Silvia and Jessica was still going on and now it looked like Jessica was beginning to get overwhelmed.

She tried to fire an arrow at the wonder warrior with her free bow but before she could even take the shot, her arrow had been knocked out of her hands as a punch was sent down her gut.

The wonder warrior was so fast that the camera had only been able to catch blurs of her as he did those things.

"You're not even that fast with your speed ability." A second-year student said to his friend who was standing beside him.

"Yeah, her speed is amazing." His friend replied.

Silvia had been trying to fight her normally but it turned out Jessica was more skilled than she thought.

Her long green bow was really handy when it came to attacking, not just shooting arrows as she had used it to knock Silvia back a couple of times.

The wonder warrior had decided to start using her speed after Jessica had shot an arrow into her shoulder.

She pulled the arrow out with a little moan and then quickly sped to the archer and knocked her bow off her hands before she could fire another arrow at her.

With her bow now out of her reach, Jessica had to think of another way to attack and there wasn't much for her to think of as she had an elemental ability.

She pulled up two pieces of earth from the floor and quickly flung them towards the Wonder warrior who really didn't have any trouble avoiding them.

Her speed was a really good advantage in avoiding things like that, she ran towards Jessica who was pulling more earth out from the ground but she wasn't using them to attack.

The earth was covering both of her hands like some sort of gauntlets and as soon as Silvia had closed up on her she sent out the punch carelessly as she couldn't really tell where she would be with her level of speed.

Turns out punching carelessly wasn't the best option as she had hit nothing but air and it didn't take her long to realize her mistake as Silvia sent a kick to her head, knocking her out cold.

"As expected, the wonder warrior makes it to the next round." Lieutenant Kate said as the earth pillar began to take Silvia up and the medical team arrived to carry Jessica.

The matching process began again as all the first-year students who hadn't fought yet had their eyes glued to the screen to see if they would be next.

Ella's eyes brightened as her image was the first to stop before the image of a boy stopped at the other circle.

"Alright, the next fight will be between Ella Jones and Steve Nelson." Lieutenant Kate said.

"Wish me luck." Ella turned to Luis and said with a smile before she slowly made her way to the pillar that brought her down to the arena floor.

Steve was brought down opposite her as soon as she had reached the floor.

He was a blonde-haired boy who looked just ordinary until she had begun to see sparks of lighting in his eyes.

'Oh God, someone with lightning ability.' Ella thought.

'What's wrong? You're a lightning mage.' Jasmine said.

'Yeah but the last time I fought someone with lightning ability, it didn't end so well.'

'For you or for the person?' Jasmine asked.

'For the person.'

The countdown began and as soon as the word fight had been said, Steve began his attack by throwing a lightning bolt at Ella.

It was really tricky for her to avoid because she wasn't expecting it but she did avoid it by bending back and allowing it to swoosh past her.

She got up to her feet to receive a kick from Steve who had quickly closed up on her.

The kick sent her flying and crashing to the floor. Steve didn't give her time to get up as she quickly sent double lighting bolts toward them.

"This guy is really aggressive," Ella said as she summoned her double axe and used them to deflect the lightning bolts.

"Is lightning the only thing you know how to throw?" Ella said, getting up from the floor.

"No," Steve said as he pulled out tiny blades from his side pockets and sent them all flying towards the lightning mage.

"I shouldn't have asked him that question," Ella said as she knocked away the first set of blades with her axes but Steve wasn't done as he quickly sent another set towards her.

Ella wasn't so lucky this time as she got hit multiple times.

"Uhhh." She groaned as another blade sunk into her shoulder.

She didn't hesitate to pull that one out too with a groan.

"It seems like the only thing you're good at is long-range attacks," Ella said as she covered the wound on her shoulder with her hand.

What she was trying to do now was get him to get close because her ability wasn't so good for long-range attacks except it was her lightning which she wasn't so keen on using but she didn't get quite the expected answer.

p "I don't like getting close to my opponents," Steve said.

Before Ella knew what was happening he had sent two lightning bolts out of his hands but this time he wasn't planning to just hit her as the other part of the bolts were still with him.

Ella couldn't avoid the bolts as they caught her, wrapped around her, and began to zap her.

Ella let out scream upon screams as the lightning zapped her but she didn't seem to be passing out which was making Steve increase the intensity of his lightning and with that Ella's scream would increase.

"Ella." Orah gasped.

'Is he trying to electrocute her?' Luis thought.

The concerned people there expected Lieutenant Kate to stop the fight but that didn't happen as Steve kept zapping her.

The pain was getting intense for Ella as she let out a very loud scream and her eyes immediately turned white with sparks of lighting.

That was the last time anyone heard her scream as her hair was immediately raised as if being attracted by a magnet and she began to float up.

Steve tried to zap her with his lightning but it seemed to be ineffective now.

As soon as she had gone up to a good height lightning began to surround her body.

"You call that lightning." Her voice sounded like three people speaking at once.

"What happened to Ella?" Luis muttered.
