"Ethan!!!!!..." exclaimed Rin.
"leave me alone" Ethan replied in a weak voice.
"but…." Rin could say up to this much when Ethan interrupts in between.
"please.... Just leave"
Rin was going to say something but Haruka stopped him. She placed her hand on his shoulder and gestures him by moving her head side by side.
He understood what she wants to say, and the three of them left the infirmary followed by Kagami and Merlyn.
***********************************
Walking through the hallway, everyone one was walking in utter silence. While the kid's heads were down in depression and sadness, the teachers were suffering through guilt, guilt of not being able to protect their student in time.
Seeing the tension rising in the place, Haruka breaks the silence by asking "sensei, will he be alright"
"yeah mostly" kagami replied
Hearing him so confident Kyoko gave up to her curiousness and asks "how can you be so sure, didn't you see how terribly he was injured by the flames"
"don't worry dear, Mariko sensei have experience of treating patients with more horrible condition that Tess, he will be completely healed at least physically" Kagami replied.
"what?? Is there more to his injurious than we saw" Rin asked.
"No, not physically but yes he might have, it's better to say they both might have. Their mind has been affected severely and seriously it's not easy to get rid of a trauma of such a horrible experience" Kagami replied.
"oh, don't worry about that, we are not talking about people, they are just kids who have a lot of friends. I'm sure they will overcome it. Childhood is the best part of life, all worries vanishes into thin air when your friends comes running towards you with a smile on their faces so make sure you help them with a smile on your face" said Merlyn.
"yes sir" replied Rin.
And suddenly Merlyn vanishes with Kagami leaving the kids startled until they realized that both of them teleports again without any warning.
******************************
The whole ground was growing more noisy and noisy, everyone was gossiping about the accident of Tess and Ethan. Some of the attention seekers even said that this was all pre planned, Ethan knowingly used that attack to get back on Tess for the thunder punch.
All the commotion stops in a moment when Kagami and Merlyn suddenly appears in the middle of the Battle ring. Whole ground turned to pin drop silence with a bunch of question arising in the small heads. Where was Ethan? What happened to Tess? Will the test continue, etc.
Not all but they did get the answer to the question that the test will continue or not? Nobody asked or nobody replied but still go the answer when Merlyn flew high above the ground and takes out a yellow glowing ball type thing from his magical dimensional pocket and unleashes it's power. The ball expands till it reached the same size as that of the battle ring.
All eyes were lit, with a whatever is it but it's amazing look in their eyes. Slowly Merlyn settled on the ground with a megaphone in his hand.
"No more worry kids, the match will still continue with a few changes applied. Now onwards no physical fight will be allowed but yes you can touch them if you have some magical tricks like the thunder punch. Now on you can fight freely unleashing all your powers, we have taken some safety measures to ensure that no one else gets hurt" Merlyn gave the speech explaining the new rules of the match.
Merlyn whistled loudly as he calls the participants of the third match. Two girls approach the ring from alternate sides standing on the opposite ends of the ring. The battle starts on the sound of the whistle.
Let's move back to the same rule, one of the girls is competitor A and the other is competitor B or CA and CB. As the second passed slow by slow CA body rises in the air and reached to a height of at least 3 feet. Then CB lifts both her hands while concentrating on it creates some wooden dart pieces with her chakra and threw it at CA with her will.
The wooden darts moves toward CA with a great speed supported by a strong chakra force. Nearly all of them instinctively closed their eyes the moment the darts were going to hit CA.
Everyone eyes opened but were unable able to close them back, some of them rubbed their eyes to believe what they were seeing. All of the darts were stopped just before an inch distance from her body while CB was lying on the ground. She didn't lose her consciousness but for some reason she was not getting up on her feet.
CA picks all the darts from the mid-air and flew towards CB, CA places the darts back in the mid-air but this time above CB's motionless body. As soon as she placed all the darts over her, they began falling down with a great speed. The moment one of the darts touched her body a large banging sound was heard, it was like a big water tank fell from a building's roof. In an instant her eyes closed as she fainted and CA was declared as the winner of the third round.
The whole crowd was amazed by the match as well as puzzled by the results, none of them were able to decipher the cause why CB fainted on the ground the mystery behind the unknown sound. Most of them reached at the same conclusion that she has a wind nature chakra watching her flying in the air but it didn't solve the mystery behind the sound and her unconsciousness.
