Chapter 224 Disfigured Watch

Luis had communicated telepathically with Johnny giving him lessons on how to control his attraction to prevent him from mistakenly unleashing it like Fred had.

"Ok," Johnny said after Luis had finished explaining everything to him and then he made his way to the pillar which brought him down to the arena where Maya was already waiting for him.

Maya was a girl of average height with short black hair and she had a cute baby face that always made most people underestimate her.

The countdown began as soon as Johnny's feet had touched the arena floor and once it was completed he summoned his great sword but he didn't charge in immediately.

Maya was also being cautious as she summoned her scythe which was way taller than her and slowly began to move closer to the Demi-Angel.

Johnny knew this was going to be a tough fight given that he had lost his strength ability and one of Luis' faction rules forbids him from using his resize ability in the open.

He wasn't mistaken with that thought as he was going up against one of the most dangerous ability users in their class.

"How's it going, Maya?" Johnny said as he stopped walking and stabbed his sword into the ground.

"You know, a few seconds ago I thought you were going to take this seriously and shut up," Maya said.

"I am taking it seriously, I just wanted to know how it's going before…"

He couldn't finish that statement as a ball of ice slammed into his chest pushing him back with a tumble but surprisingly he was able to stop himself from hitting the floor again with his hands.

He turned his gaze to his sword and then to Maya who had ice balls in her hands looking at the sword before she turned to him for them to lock eyes.

Johnny quickly got up and began to make his way to his sword as fast as he could but Maya wasn't going to let him as she was also heading towards the sword while throwing ice balls at him.

Johnny was doing a good job avoiding the ice balls with the help of his improved speed but that didn't mean the ice balls weren't doing a good job of slowing him down.

Maya was getting close to the sword now as Johnny had tumbled to the side due to an ice explosion Maya had caused in front of him.

He was about to get up from the ground but before he could do that Maya shot out streams of ice from her hand which completely sealed him on the spot leaving only his head to be seen.

With Johnny down now, Maya slowly walked to the great sword and pulled it out of the ground.

She slowly made her way to Johnny holding the sword on its blade like it was some sort of baton.

"You talk too much Johnny, that's your problem," Maya said.

"So after knocking me out would you like to grab dinner with me?" Johnny asked.

"Maybe," Maya said as she clenched her left hand into a fist causing the ice holding Johnny to shatter into numerous pieces but before Johnny could make any movement she flung the sword towards his jaw.

The Demi-Angel fell with his back and it didn't look like he was going to be getting up anytime soon.

"Well, that was an easy win." Lieutenant Kate said.

"Was that Johnny?" One of the second-year students asked.

"Yeah, he didn't even do anything."

Luis had stood in the same spot watching the fight closely to see if anything was going to go wrong and he was glad that nothing did.

With Johnny knocked out in the first round that meant that he had only Fred to monitor in the next round.

With nothing to worry about, for now, Luis made his way back to the spot where his mates were standing.

Ella had shifted away from the others so that she could ask him why Michael and Nicole had taken him to the staff department.

"What did they speak to you about?" Ella asked.

"About the event that took place in the woods," Luis said.

"How did they….. what did you tell them?"

"I'll explain everything to you later," Luis said, walking past her.

Another fight was currently going on in the arena but Luis wasn't really interested in it as he opened up his system to check a few things.

[ 2400/4770 EXP ]

[ Physical Status ]

[ Strength: 36 ]

[ Stamina: 26 ]

[ Agility: 29 ]

[ Special Abilities ]

[ Fire: Level 5 ]

[ Earth: Level 3 ]

[ Fire: Level 5 ]

[ Ability points: 2 ]

[ Skill points: 3 ]

[ Unused stat points: 2 ]

He still needed a lot of exp to level up but he was glad that he had been able to get this much.

'That game was really helpful but I just hope I encounter an opponent strong enough for the system to give me a quest in the next round.'

'Are you sure you want that?' Lena asked.

'Yeah, why not?'

'I'm just saying you know you can't use your ability here.'

'Yeah but I have my fist and sword.'

'And how many fights against strong opponents have you won with just your fist and plain sword?'

To that question, Luis didn't have an answer as he had never won a fight against a superior opponent with just his fist and sword.

George was standing in the third-year area with his hands folded and the expression on his face said a lot about his mood.

Brolin and Brad weren't there now but Jacob was still there and he was really trying hard to find out what was going on with Rodney and everything he had heard them say so far.

He tried asking Rodney but the General's son didn't even turn to him, let alone answering his question.

"Come on George, what's going on? Maybe I can help you." Jacob said.

George let out a sigh and was about to say something when he heard footsteps approaching him and he knew at once that it was Brad and Brolin.

"Did you find him?" George said.

"No," Brolin said.

"No?"

"Yes, but we did find something," Brad said as Brolin opened his hands to reveal a disfigured watch.

The glass screen on the watch was shattered and the covering below it had been removed revealing wires and other components of the watch.

George stared at the watch for a while before slowly taking it from Brolin.

"Is that Rodney's?" Jacob asked and he was again snubbed.

George examined the watch carefully with a horrid look on his face.

'Did that green-eyed kid do this?' He thought.

"We weren't able to find anything else apart from that one," Brad said.

George didn't say anything as he slowly turned his gaze to Luis who seemed to be talking with Orah now.

"Now we know he isn't safe and we know who to ask."
