Getting Ella to unleash her lightning ability didn't always end well for the person who forced it out, Jasmine was very aware of that and that was why she was trying to call Ella back to her senses before she did something she would regret.
She could have easily used her vines to suppress her energy just like she did last time but doing that in a place like this where everyone was watching was sure going to draw a lot of unwanted attention to Ella.
'Ella listen to me, you have to control yourself, don't let your power control you.' Jasmine said.
Steve, who had tried his lightning ability again without making any effect, was beginning to get scared and was slowly moving back as Ella floated toward him.
'Ella stop.' Jasmine said.
"Don't tell me to stop," Ella said as she threw a large lightning bolt which Steve was lucky to avoid by ducking.
"You tried to zap me dry but you don't want to know how that feels," Ella said as she formed two lightning whips in her hands.
"Uh oh," Silvia said as she thought back to her first encounter with this version of Ella.
Some of the students found it really interesting that Ella was making her come back while the smarter ones knew the fight had taken on a whole new look.
Steve swallowed really hard as he looked at the two long whips made out of pure compressed lightning.
"How is she even able to do that?" Steve muttered to himself.
He wasn't the only one with that question in his mind as all the lightning ability users in the three different classes had the same line of thoughts.
Steve pulled out his numerous blades as a defensive measure and sent them all flying towards Ella at the same time but before any of them could get to Ella they turned to ash.
"If you want to throw blades, at least encase them with something," Ella said as she swung the whip in her right hand.
Steve avoided that one by rolling to the side but he wasn't two times lucky as the second whip wrapped around his shoulder and pulled him down on his face.
The other one came flying in again and delivered a brutal blow to his back which forced out screams that put a satisfying smile on her face.
The lashing didn't stop there as she continued delivering the blows on his back with her lightning whip and with the other whip tied to Steve's shoulder, he just couldn't get up.
Now it was his turn to scream and he seemed to be doing it quite well.
"What is she doing? She's going to hurt him." Monica said after pulling closer to Luis, Silvia, and Orah.
"Didn't he try to hurt her first?" Silvia said.
"That's not Ella," Luis said, waving his head.
"Yeah, she's no longer in control," Orah said.
Some of the students who found Steve's screaming amusing were beginning to find it not so amusing as its intensity was increasing.
Ella didn't seem to care about that as she tried to send another lash on his back but before the lightning whip could get to him, pieces of earth shot out from the ground and wrapped around her hands, putting out her lightning show.
She tried to resist and create another lightning whip as more pieces of earth shot out from the ground wrapped around her legs and pulled her down.
It didn't take everyone long to realize the person who had overpowered her with earth ability as Lieutenant Kate had her hands stretched out towards her.
"That's enough payback." She said,
Ella seemed to have returned back to her senses as she was breathing heavily while looking up.
'That was close.' Jasmine said.
"What have I done?" Ella said slowly sitting up.
It didn't take long before two medical personnel rushed in with a stretcher, they didn't waste time putting Steve on the stretcher and carrying him away.
"Oh no," Ella said as she watched them carry him away with a shocked expression on her face. "Not again."
'I tried to call you back but just like last time, you couldn't hear me.'
"I almost killed him right?" She asked.
'Yeah you almost did but you don't have to blame yourself, he was the one that zapped you too hard.' Jasmine said.
Ella looked around the arena as the earth pillar slowly brought her up and as she walked off the earth pillar she could notice the strange stares she was getting from all the students around.
"That was a really awful way to humiliate Steve."
"She wanted to kill him."
"Yeah but you can't exactly blame her, he was the one that started it."
"She overdid it."
With her enhanced hearing, she could hear everything all the first-year students nearby were saying about her and she just didn't know what to think of herself.
She stood at the edge of the arena for quite a long time as she was trying to take in everything being said about her, both the good ones and the bad ones.
"Come on Ella," Silvia said, pulling her by her arm.
She was long lost in her daze that she didn't even know when Silvia walked up to her.
"Come on, let's go," Silvia said, pulling her along as she walked to the others.
"You have really strong first-year students." General Freelyn said to Kelvin as he seemed to have enjoyed the fight between Ella and Steve.
"I'm just finding out today," Kelvin said, looking down.
"Let's just hope they will be good enough in the tournament this year." General Freelyn said with a smirk as he turned his attention back to the arena.
Nobody talked to Ella as she didn't seem to be in a talking mood and just stared at the big screen hanging over the arena.
'I never knew her lightning ability was so strong.' Luis thought.
'Yeah and judging by the way she's acting she doesn't seem to have control over it.' Lena said.
"The next fight will be between Ciara Holmes and Luis Miles." Lieutenant Kate said.
Luis quickly turned his gaze to the screen to see the face of the person he would be facing but he didn't get a clear view of the person's face before the images were removed.
"Good luck," Orah said as the Angel made his way to the edge of the arena where he was brought down by an earth pillar.
He was the first to make it down as he looked at the other side and saw another pillar of earth coming down.
"That green-eyed kid." General Freelyn muttered to himself as soon as he spotted Luis.
"I remember her," Luis said as soon as he saw the face of his opponent.
He wouldn't have been so sure if it weren't for the pack of arrows she had on her back.
'Maybe she can help me level up my water ability.' The Angel thought.
"So what's your ability?" Ciara asked as the countdown began.
"I don't have any, you?" Luis said.
"Water," Ciara said as her bow appeared in her hands. "But I think just my bow and arrows will do in this fight."
'Luis.' Lena called.
'I know this is going to be a tough one.'
