Chapter 247 Take Your Shot

Before Monica had fused her fire ability with her metal ability the fight had been one-sided with Monica only defending herself from Christine's attacks now things were a lot different.

Christine flung her whips at her at the same time as Monica formed a shield covered in flames and blocked the attack.

If it had been her ordinary metal shield the whip would have made a deep dent in it but it seemed like fusing her fire ability with her metal upgraded the durability of her metals in quite a considerable way.

As soon as the whips had hit the shield, she converted the shield to a long blade covered with flames and tried to slash down on the whips.

She had missed as Christine pulled her whips back on time causing her to hit the ground instead.

"If they continue like this they are going to run out of ability points soon," Tammy said, watching the fight with her hands folded.

"Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't run out yet," Presley said.

Monica formed little blades covered with blades and sent them all flying towards Christine at the same time.

That wasn't a problem for her with her enhanced whip as she avoided the dangerous ones with her neat acrobatic moves and knocked the rest away with her whip.

"I don't even know the last time I fought someone who was just my match, not too strong and not too weak," Christine said as she couldn't hide the smile of excitement on her face.

"Yeah, I feel great too," Monica said with a smile behind her pants.

"Let's go." She said flinging her whips but before she could do anything with them, the purple glow surrounding the whips had faded away and so did the one in her eyes as the purple strands in her hair returned to normal to restore the uniformity of her red hair.

"Looks like you're out of points," Monica said as she formed a long sword with her flaming metal but before she could do anything with it the flames got extinguished as the sword disappeared. "And we're even now."

Christine was the one who used the opportunity to her advantage as she closed up on Monica and flung her whips which wrapped around her before she could summon her own whip.

"Sorry Monica but this is going to hurt," Christine said before slamming her to the floor with her whip forcing a moan out of her.

Christine knew that slamming her to the floor like that wasn't going to be enough to knock her out as she pulled back the whip in her right hand and delivered the last hit on her head to knock her out.

"That was by far the most interesting fight I have seen so far." Lieutenant Kate said.

"We've lost another one," Orah muttered jokingly to the hearing of Ella.

"I don't think that matters anymore," Ella said.

"Huh?" Orah said.

"According to what she said, students from the same combat class can face each other in this round," Ella said.

"Are you sure? I wasn't really paying attention." Orah said.

"The next fight will be between Orah Smith and Silvia Cane." Lieutenant Kate announced.

Ella didn't need to answer that question as Lieutenant Kate had already answered it now.

He slowly turned his gaze to his image and that of Silvia in the first and second boxes respectively.

At the upper part of the tallest building in the academy was where Kelvin had his office and right now he was in the office having a holographic video chat with Gary the head of Phoenix academy.

He was still talking when the door opened and Nicole walked into the room with a bag hanging over her shoulder.

Gary was in the form of a hologram standing in the middle of the office and he had turned as soon as he had heard someone shut the door.

"Who's she?" Gary turned to Kelvin to ask.

"Nicole Reyes, she's been helping me since Van was given the proper punishment for his crime," Kelvin said.

"Like an assistant?"

"Yeah," Kelvin said.

"Good day sir, Good day General." Nicole greeted them as soon as she had gotten close to them.

"Oh hello, beauty," Gary said.

Nicole gave off a fake smile as she walked to the table on the side of the room to bring out the files Kelvin told her to bring.

Gary watched her as she watched for a while before turning back to Kelvin.

"Are you sure she's just your assistant?" Gary asked, giving him a strange look.

"Of course, I didn't say she was anything else to me," Kelvin said.

"I'm just saying because I know many CEOs who ended up with their female assistants and you are in one of those great positions now," Gary said.

Kelvin didn't say anything as he turned to look at Nicole who was still bringing out the files from her bag.

The truth was that he never looked at her in that way, he only saw her as an employee who worked for him and nothing else.

"Take your shot before you miss the opportunity and don't forget to submit those files before the end of today," Gary said before ending the call and disappearing.

"Here are the files you asked me to fill," Nicole said, dropping them on his table.

Kelvin stared at her for a while before turning his gaze to the files on his table.

There was a portable teleporter on his desk which he dropped in front of the file and began to put in the exact location he was going to send the files.

After putting in the location he pushed the teleport button as white light shot out from the teleporter to cover the files.

It didn't take long for the light to clear up to reveal that the files were no longer there.

"Is there anything else I can do for you, sir?" Nicole asked.

Kelvin didn't reply as he stared at her, he was thinking about what Gary had told him as he was beginning to get strange feelings in his body now.

"Sir," Nicole called.

"Oh, not really but…"

"What?" Nicole asked.

"I was invited to this feast by a friend and I was told I could bring one more person with me, so I was wondering if you would like to come with me, it's this evening," Kelvin said.

"I'm sorry sir but I can't," Nicole said, making a sorry expression.

"Why not?" Kelvin asked.

"I'm still investigating the case from yesterday," Nicole said.

"What case?" Kelvin asked.

"The one about a fire student on a rampage," Nicole said.

"Oh that case, you still haven't solved it?"

"No sir," Nicole said.

"Ok," Kelvin said with a low tone as he turned away from her.

"Sorry to disappoint you, sir," Nicole said before making her way to the door.

"Nicole," Kelvin called before she could leave through the door.

"Yes," Nicole said quickly, turning to him.

Kelvin stared at her for a while without saying anything and the truth was that he didn't have anything.

"Never mind." He finally said, shaking his head.

"Ok," Nicole said, leaving through the door and shutting it.

"This is one of your weak areas Kelvin," Kelvin said, slamming his fist into his table.
