Sir Ellis flung his arms to his side removing his two light swords and he then gathered a much greater amount of light than the previous attacks. He condensed the light into pure energy and shape it into a great sword that elongates two meters. This time, he the sword is not affixed with his hand and can freely move around him. I believe that the ice created by Orion would not even be able to reach the sword before it melts, no before it is vaporized.
"It seems that if I am not serious, I would not be able to defeat you."
"That should be my line."
The temperature in the room dropped to negative 30 Fahrenheits and is continuing on dropping. I can no longer see anything on the screen but white due to ice and I can only depend on the heat sensors. Orion completely erased his presence by blending himself into the snow and his live target, sir Ellis, is emitting a great amount of heat that made him invulnerable to the change of surroundings.
With one whose attack can't reach the opponent and one who can't attack the opponent, the situation became a battle of stamina. In the end, Orion first run out of energy so it has been declared that sir Ellis is the winner. Their power is both astonishing that I can't compete. There are a great number of rank-one battle-ability users in our class but those two are cut off far from us. Even with my ability, pyrokinesis, I can't defeat Orion who's supposed to be weak against me.
Both of them arrived in the monitoring room while I am still in the moment of realizing how weak I am. Sir Ellis, with his body beaten up, greeted me with his generic smile. Behind him is Orion who seems to be unsatisfied with the results.
"Sir Elli…eek!"
Sir Ellis shut my lips.
"You should just call me Teivel like Orion does, we are friends, aren't we?"
"O-okay."
Not good, his face is too close. There is no way my heart could take it if such a beautiful person is this near, the hand he used to closed my lips smells good too. I wonder if I am blushing too much, my heart would explode at any moment.
"Te-Teivel, your wounds…"
Teivel stepped back for a moment.
"My bad, I forgot to treat myself."
Light gathered at Teivel's body and like an angel being filled with light, the beauty of this scene is indescribable. All his wounds are gone in an instant.
"Show-off, you can heal your body without any special effects yet you are still doing that. No wonder everyone has been enthralled by the graceful angel of Ellis family."
"Eh, are you also 'enthralled' by me?"
Orion denied it but his dishonesty can be seen when he started blushing along with his statement. Teivel did not seem to care about it and bid his farewell to us exiting in joyful manner. After that Orion gritted his teeth and clicked his tongue.
"That guy, I can't believe he is so strong that I can't compare now. I am so badly defeated."
"Eh! From what I saw it was almost an even match though."
"No, in my perspective he is completely holding back on me."
I have yet to see Orion in this state. In my analysis both of them are actually equal in strength but what did he see that I don't?
"He only used the ability to condense and control light against me. Am I not even worthy for him to use his full strength? Ah…" Orion held his head as if it aches. "I'll leave first, see you tomorrow."
Our family is also a part of Stofford family. Although not as great as the main family, Lukes family also have strong ability users and I, Arnold Lukes, am the heir of that family. I have awakened my pyrokinesis when I am five years old and has been able to control it just like the tip of my fingers and is then regarded as a genius. However, in my eyes, there is only one worthy of being called a genius. It is my cousin from the main family, Orion, he is the only one of my age that I can't defeat so for the time that I will defeat him I trained hard but every time I fought against Orion, I would always lose. No matter how I work harder it is all nothing against a superior talent, there is no one who can defeat him so why don't just be satisfied at the second place is what I always thought but now, another talented person appeared and he beat Orion with just using his basic techniques. The other person is Teivel Carmine Ellis, just like Orion, he is an heir of the four great families but isn't he supposed to be a healer? How could he move like that? I am definitely inferior against him.
"No, you are not inferior at all. I am here with you after all."
The one who spoke is Kilauea, he said that he is the consciousness of my ability and is called a crown. Apparently, he is the reason why I can control my ability and is why its potency is increasing day by day.
"Well, thank you for consoling me. I know that I am very weak compared to those two but at least I have someone like you to help me train. Let's go back to the mansion and train some more!"
"That is the right way of thinking. Your hard work will sure pay off one day."
With that, another day of mine has come to end, not knowing about the disaster that will fall upon me upon the next day.
