Chapter 2311: Tensions
The sharp currents attacked him.
The increase in pressure made his muscles contract and joints ache. The opponent gritted her teeth, increasing the pressure. The flaming inscriptions of Sam are being effected. The richness of wind element energy is trying to suppress those flames.
The irony of the wind.
When the flame is small, wind kills it. When the flame is raging, it just rages it more.
Sam tried to control his inscriptions, but whenever he tried to focus, the pressure increased. He didn't know if he should be pissed or impressed. After all, the wind element's usage he has seen until now has always been very uncreative and monotone.
She is using the wind in a new way.
After a couple of minutes, Sam made a move. Ink swirled out of his storage and it was dragged away by the wind currents. With the level of attack she used, his current inscriptions and space are not enough.
He needs to either use his strength directly or create a new method for himself.
He did the latter, of course. The inscription ink turned the condensed wind from white to black. It is a complete black color that glowed with faint red hue.
The opponent's eyes widened. She knew something bad is about to happen.
As the wind spun, the ink followed its pattern, however with every passing second the ink seeped outwards. At last, it went out of the sphere completely.
The floating ink turned into inscriptions. The inscriptions are of two elements. Wind and fire. Both of those elements raged together. Rotating in the opposite direction of the wind sphere. The wind sphere, slowed down.
She couldn't control it anymore. She couldn't speed it up anymore. She is losing control.
Finally...
*BOOM*
The inscriptions controlling the wind sphere exploded.
Sam landed along with the golden flames surrounding him. His opponent collapsed to her knees. They are just a couple of feet away. Sam even felt surprised that they are that close at the moment.
"Three moves are over."
"I know...."
She muttered slowly and looked at Sam. She slowly stood up and looked like she is about to give up.
The fights between the fourth graders are most brutal. Almost as brutal as the second-grade fights. Because Dove being the senior has created her fair share of chaos and fair share of enemies. And the team that came along with her are all her close aides in the student council
at that time.
The other academies really wanted to target them since the start, but they didn't want to be the first offerings to the gambler academy.
With the new alliance, they grew a pair each and came after them.
With almost half of the academies targeting them, the Gambler academy basically dominated
the solo combat competition.
The Norse city has seen more fights in those few days than in the past decade.
While days passed like this, Sam just hid himself and didn't come back. There are only two more competitions that he needs to participate in. One is the weapon making and the other is
the solo combat.
There is a lot of time before the weapon making competition starts. It is the one right before
the solo combat.
So, he decided to stay put until then.
He ignored the chaos and ignored all the people that are trying to find him. Many speculated that Sam became overwhelmed by the chaos and hid. Some said, he learned his place and decided to step back from the solo combat competition.
However, no one can deny that the more time he was left unfound, the more the chaos
brewed. Because as the days passed, the alliances started collapsing. After all, until now some of the academies lost too much in pursuit of Sam, while some academies were left unscathed.
Same with the ones attacking other gambler academy students. By planning or not, some academies indeed took most losses.
Now that Sam couldn't be found, they are also thinking about their own interests. There are only a limited spots to be in the finals of the solo combat competition. But the alliance they
made has more than hundred people.
They eventually had to fight.
As days passed and the finals neared, tensions rose among them, threatening to explode at
any given moment.
And at that moment, Sam came out of hiding. He appeared at the entrance of the Thor academy on the day of the weapon making competition.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
