Chapter 65 - Ilora Vs Flora!

Ilora slowly makes her way into the arena. Flora smirks. "You huh? Strongest rookie, isn't that what they call you?" Flora asks. Ilora gives Flora a cold look. "Ice magic level 1..." Ilora sways her hand to her right side, "Ice dagger!" Forming a blade in her right hand. "You do realise that few months ago you couldn't even touch me." Flora shrugs her shoulder without worrying much and looking the other way.

"FLORA LOOK OUT!" Rita calls Flora out. Ilora thrusts her ice dagger right towards Flora. Flora quickly bends her back to dodge Ilora's dagger.

*Swoop*

"That was close." Flora says with a surprised expression. Ilora drops her blade on Flora's face. "WHAT?!" Ilora bends her knees, holds her left hand in front of her face with her palm open. With her right hand she takes a stance where her right hand is near her waist with her palm open. Ilora takes a deep breathe. Flora gets flips back.

*Flip*

Ilora keeps on looking straight at Flora with her calm but cold eyes. "What's with this girl? She wasn't even close enough to even match my speed and now...I didn't even sense her presence near me." Flora says to herself.

"That posture..." Shuichi seems to be in deep thought. "What's the matter Shuichi?" Reggie asks Shuichi. "That stance seems to be the style of Dakai Zong...This may be quite troubling." Shuichi says. Hayden looks at Shuichi. His look seems to be normal though. "Are you implying that Flora is going to lose?" Hayden asks. Shuichi looks at Hayden with a disappointed face. "I am..." Shuichi says. Hayden sighs. "I trust you Shuichi...But Flora is ranked 6 when it comes to strength, I am pretty sure that even the so said strongest rookie can't surpass Flora in just few months." Rita says with a smile.

"Damn...She's fast..." Brenna says with a surprised expression. "I know she is." I say with a smile. "WHAT?! Are you saying, you can see her?" Livit asks me. "Yeah, she's obviously fast but that's just how it is. We can still her movements though." Jason says in his calm voice. "Yeah, I can follow her movements but it's impossible for me to match that kind of speed." Brenna says.

Cao Ping seems to be smiling. "Interesting...Dakai Zong style...That's quite an ancient one. You better impress me young one." Cao Ping looks towards the captain of Squad Rizing.

Flora begins to chant a spell, "To be or-GUH!"

*Boom*

Ilora's palm created a striking sound as it hit Flora's gut. "You think I have time for your stupid spell chants." There was a silence for a second.

*Smash*

Flora flew out of the ring and towards crashed right towards the wall not only that but the strike of the palm was so strong that it shook the magic protecting the outer arena too. "That's right...I am...The strongest rookie of Rodeo academy. Any doubts about it?" Ilora questions Flora as she flew out of the arena.

Only a few individuals in this whole stadium remained calm while other's widened their eyes. Even Denvil, Jian and Bruno seemed to be shocked at Ilora's strength. "How strong...Did big sis Ilora...Actually get..." Cyan looks to be shocked even more then normal. The crowd rises in huge cheers. "NOW THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!" "YEAH GIRL! SHOW US WHAT OUR FUTURE KNIGHT IS LIKE!"

Suddenly...The crowd who had seemed to lost any interest in us begin showing actual interest in us. "ILORA SWITCH!" I look towards Ashley. Ashley nods. Ilora steps backs as Jolly steps into the arena and hairs begins to flow around it. "What the hell?" Everyone are looking confused. "I am sorry." Jolly says as her hair begins to flow into the arena.

I am confused...I thought they were going to use someone strong but...It seems like Jolly is the one who stepped in. Why her? Plus...Ashley is not the right match. Bad decision, Henry. "A real bad decision Henry." Ilora says. Well thank you, I was saying that to myself too. Just with that Ashley seems to have been knocked out by the force of Jolly's hair. Rita West, she is the brains to this plan. Tsch! She's always thinking a step ahead of me. "Ajay maybe you can use your sand magic." I say to Ajay. Ajay nods. "I will try my best." Tsch! I have to try using Ajay in this situation...Maybe trapping the hair in the sand might work.

Ajay hops into the ring chanting a spell. "SAND MAGIC: SAND TRAP!" Ajay's sand traps in Jolly's hair. "Oh no! I am in trouble." Jolly says trying to get her hair out of the stuck sand. "LUIS!" Luis nods. Luis seems to be running towards the ring. I just realised something... "THE TIP OF HER HAIR TOUCHED THE ONE INSIDE THE RING SO HE IS KNOCKED OUT!" Vasteria points out. Tsch! I had hope that this would go unnoticed. "Very sneaky..." Vasteria smiles.

Somebody in the corner clenches her fist and seems to be getting impatient. "What the?!" Luis couldn't even do anything as Jolly's hair breaks out of the sand and knocks out Luis. "JUST HOW STRONG ARE HER HAIRS?!" Luis seems confused.

"Jolly maybe a weak and fragile girl but her magic...It's nowhere near close to her personality. She is a very strong one." Rita says with a smirk. "This is boring." Hayden says unenthusiastically.

We are down to 12...They still have 16 left. Tsch! This is bad...I can't think of anything else... "ARE YOU AN IDIOT OR WHAT?!" I hear a scream behind me. "WHY DID YOU USE ALL THOSE PEOPLE AFTER ASHLEY'S ELIMINATION?! NO WHY DID YOU EVEN START OFF WITH ME?!" Sophie seems to be upset. "You know...YOU ARE A GREAT LEADER BUT YOUR A VERY BAD TACTICIAN!" Sophie seems to be angry. She steps in front of everyone.

"Brenna, use your phoenix transformation...And shut her hairy shit down." Sophie is a completely different person right now. "That's what happens when you do stupid shit in front of, leader." What's with Casey's smirk? "I was waiting for someone to actually pick me for once." Brenna cracks her neck and knuckles. Suddenly, in the outer arena, Brenna seems to have gotten an outer shell which looks like a phoenix. "Level 1 phoenix transformation." Brenna says and flies towards Jolly punching her face knocking her out.

*Smash*

Brenna steps back. "BRENNA OUT!" Sophie says. Brenna nods and gets out of the arena.

"Tsch! How much longer until you can use your switch magic?" Rita asks Sherry. "I am still exhausted because of that Damien guy...It will take me like 8 to 10 more minutes until I can use it again." Sherry says. "I see...I know that girl over there was a top scorer in the examination...And she is very intelligent. So if she has taken the command...I guess it's your turn, Seven..."
