Chapter 322 - 322. Icy Stare

"I can't believe she could have ended it the entire time. But she used him to show off her other skills." Jackson was amazed by Caras' show of strength. 

Haven't you seen her watching all of the training videos when we take breaks? She analyzes everything and tries to learn from it." Art had picked up on Caras' habit a while ago. He would watch his own videos but he had been slow to learn that watching everyones' was a better way to learn and learn and grow. 

"I even found her asleep on the couch the other day with them playing. She has actually been watching the ones where Louis practices a lot. I think she is trying to find ways to bet faster than lightning." Asher wanted to do the same but felt that he still needed to train more before he was able to do something like dodging lightning consistently.

"Wait, she watches my training videos....I can never fight her." Louis knew that if Cara was paying attention to his training video to learn how to combat lightning that he was doomed. If she tried to spar with him then he would be taken down in an instant. Cara was just too good. 

"Hey, have any of you seen that guy over there? He literally looks like those gold statues at movies theaters." Sammy had found a guy fighting a match in the next round who had seemingly turned his body to gold. 

"That;'s crazy. Gold is super soft but it looks like he can take a solid hit. Even those dents on him are buffing themselves out." Art was impressed by how well the guy recovered. 

"I bet he has a super power to become made of gold and manipulate his body. He might be invincible to some degree since he can't be hurt the same way another person could." Jane was carefully starting to put the pieces together. 

"So what? Cara can still beat him. Gold is a metal and metals can vibrate. Cara can make him lose shape like the slime boy. It's the same thing but different super powers." Laura was not impressed at all. Even though the golden guy was winning he would be a terrible match for Cara who would easily win again. "She needs a real challenge." 

"You mean like the girl over there that is making the earth move in to little rats and spiders?" Asher had watched with awe as the girl used a terra-kinesis power to create little earth golems to block attacks and attack. She was perfectly in control of the battle and was constantly making more and more complicated shapes and creatures out of the earth. 

"Whoa...that's intense. How will Cara beat her? I know she'll win but how?" Art was sure of one thing, Cara would win. But he lacked the knowledge on how she would manage it. 

"Umm, I hate to say it but I am pretty sure that is the top student in her class." Jane had seen the girl before and finally remembered why she looked so familiar. 

"She's making an entire zoo of animals. Why does she even need to be a hero or law enforcement? She could just do whatever she wants in the entertainment industry." Jackson was trying to figure out the motivation behind someone with such a useful super power. 

"I am watching how all of her movements and little animals are made and I have a few interesting facts." Since he had been given the analysis target, Louis was not just sitting there doing nothing. He was watching intently. "The details and shapes might be changing on those little dirt animals but they are staying the same size. She isn't adding any more soil and she isn't making them larger." 

"I see what you're saying. If she is doing that then maybe she can only control so much dirt at once and the fact that she is changing the designs is so that she can show off the way she can use the power she had now instead of a large spectacle like an earthquake." Jane was right on the same page as Louis. 

"Well, I for one think she is a terrible actor and will lose to Cara in an instant. Cara just needs to wait a few minutes longer than that kid who lost." Laura looked like she had figured out a great mystery. 

"Alright, I know it's not just me and Srt that are looking and waiting for you to say what you mean. Even if they already know." Sammy puffed up her cheeks in annoyance since Lara was so slow to reveal what she had figured out. 

"That girl is mentally exhausted. I am watching her feet and she never moved the entire time she used her super power. She couldn't move. Now that she is walking though, she can't walk a straight line." Laura was right, everyone could watch how the girls' steps were side to side and uneven. 

"Then it will be an easy win for Cara, and speaking of Cara, she is back out again. This time it looks like some guy with...ten eye balls?" Asher had seen some strange mutations caused by super powers but having ten eyeballs was a top tier one for sure. 

"Let me rephrase that, ten eyeb alls that fire some sort of ice beam thing…" Art had fixed the sentence for Asher while everyone else was shocked to see the stage freezing slightly. 

" I don't even know how that is possible but it is crazy. Everywhere that Cara is dodging is being hit with ice." Sammy was amazed by the control of the ice but was more interested in the speedy movements Cara was using. 

Back on the stage, Cara was focused on the quickly changing terrain. "I can see you everywhere you go. It is a matter of time until you mess up and I have my opening." The guy with ten eye balls was not arrogant but just stating a fact. He could move each one individually and fire multiple ice beams from his eyes. The only downside was the slow build up of frost over the time he used the super power. 

"You forget that I know you are forced to close your eyes when they get too cold. I will beat you without my super power at all." Cara knew it was a dangerous taunt but also knew her opponent. They had practiced together in class before and she was not about to just let things fall apart. Plus she wanted to make sure she showed off her prowess in martial arts before she went in to her super power every battle. It also saved energy.

The battle was causing the air around them to become colder and colder causing some of the other participants to see their breath. This caused Cara's match to become more and more watched until most of the audience was focused on her. "Now that we have most peoples' attention, should we get serious?" Cara asked and her opponent nodded. 

"It took them long enough. I tried to be flashy." The guy with ten eye balls lowered his stance and immediately shot a concentrated ice beam from every single eye at Cara. The stage was completely frozen and Cara was left shivering. The attack had not been at her to freeze her but instead mess with her and cause her to be too scared or cold to attack. 

"Nice, you have a terrain style skill. But I know how to ice skate and I practice outside in the winter." Cara of course wanted the top spot so that she could use the additional weight she had from it to get access to more of the gym in her free time and even a few of the additional school facilities. 

The audience and group watched as Cara slid side to side and even managed to stop herself where she wanted to be. Unknow to everyone else, Cara still touched the solid ground. The ice was too thin because the eyes balls had mot focused and changed the strength. They just flashed over all of the area. 

The friction melted the ice and then Cara was able to get along without any issue. The confusion on the face of the guy with ten eye balls was all too clear even when Cara was launching a solid fist in tp his face. 

The thud of her opponent nearly echoed through the entire arena. "Huh, not even a little frost on my hand. I thought least four hits would knock you down." Cara walked off the stage and to the resting area. She had accomplished her goal to win without using her super power at all. 

"That was so much cooler than the last match! She didn't even need a super power!" Sammy was entranced by the way the match had ended. She wanted to be able to to the same in a battle. If she could then she knew that she would easily cover her weaknesses. "I need to ask Cara to train me more!"
