Chapter 44 - (CHAPTER 43: GAMBLE)

"Where is Sensei Zeo" Rain stood at the back stage od the arena on the lifting platform. Zeo is still nowhere to be seen. "No worried, he will be here soon enough." The worker confronted him before handing out his teleportation ring, without any hesitation he wore it on his pinkie. It felt a lot lighter, bit he didn't mind at all.

"Now! For the Finals today! Of this Christmas Holiday special!" The announcer's voice blared through the speakers; the crowd cheered. This is what they wanted for so long, most of them hoped Class Z could create miracle for them and kick Class S's filthy ass. But they also know Class S is ranked as the best for at least two reasons. Either they are filthy rich, or either they are filthy strong.

"On the red side! Class S!" A group of great looking students were ascended onto the arena on a lifting platform. They are great looking girls and boys, posh dressing, polite attitude, they are the elites. They smiled, waving their hands towards the crowd, who, most of them didn't gave a fuck about this.

"On the blue side? Class Z!" With that they were ascended onto the arena too. The crowds went nut, cheering, yelling. They are their last hope to payback the god old karma those upper-class posh wankers had inflicted on them. Rain and his friends take a good long look at the crowd, scanning their face but still no sign of their teacher. They couldn't stop but felt a slight disappointment, but manages to get over it quite quickly.

"Fighters ready?" The announcer asked, the light focused onto the arena. Rain nodded; the captain of their opposing team gave him a thumbs up. "Let the matchup, begin!" With a buzz, the final match started. But what the crowds spectating the match didn't know is that instead of a friendly fight, they are getting a massacre.

Class Z stick on their tactic like before as Chara take the lead, capturing the middle flag. They tried to push their way through, but their enemy isn't jokes too. "Fire pillar!" The captain of Class Z punched his hand towards Chara as a jet of burning flame was shoot towards her. "Aqua splash!" Chara waved her hands, channelling an orb of water before shooting out towards him. The orb and flame clashes into each other, in which the orb was evaporated instantly under the high heat. The flame burst through it, forcing Chara to dodge.

"I got this!" Brook rushed to the front, trying to tank down some hits for the team. "Nature's beauty!" The elf girl on the enemy side waved her hand, as vines and roots emerges out of the ground, grabbing him by his feet before tossing him back. "Okay I don't got this" He screamed mid-air. "Gravity pull!" Upon seeing that Brook was about to get knocked out, Rain channelled his energy, pulling him to the ground.

"Thanks buddy." Brook waved his hands before re-joining the match, Rain waved his hands, signalling him to keep it steady. "Demon Hound's rampage!" Meanwhile Chara and Rey are still fighting against each other as she desperately tried to stay within the capture zone to guard the flag. "Ocean Blue!" A jet of water shot out towards her, but in front of raging flame, her water gun didn't stood a chance. The concentrated jet of flame burst through the water before towards her. Upon seeing this, Chara immediately turn into a puddle of water to evade it. But the moment she seep into the ground beneath, she suddenly remerges, right into the path of the burning flame.

"Hard and sweet!" Suga immediately come to her aid, blocking down the flame, but not for long, the sugar wall is starting to melt under the heat, very rapidly turning into a puddle of syrup. "You alright?" Sugas asked Chara behind her as she hold up the wall strainingly. "N-no." She began vomiting, "S-someone, added chemical into the, the ground." "What !?" Suga exclaimed, but she had no time to be surprised or angry, The candy wall shatters, with only a few second left, she choose to save Chara as she pushed her away out of the path. Suga was disintegrated right in front of her eyes, before being teleported out of the arena.

"Now…" Rey turn his attention towards the barely moving Chara, lying weakly on the ground. Her body started to liquify, with red boiling rashes due to the heat. Her face looks awfully pale, even paler compared to before as she vomited water out of her mouth, barely breathing.

"Hey Chara."

"Wh-what are you doing here at this moment."

"Let me help you,"

"No, y-you will die! This will cut down your life spam!"

"But I had three years left, right?"

"Yes, but…"

"Give me your hand, Chara, let me help you…"

"Goodbye, mermaid." A pyro ball started to from in Rey's hand as he aimed it towards Chara, aiming right at the head. "Gravity deflection!" Rain darted towards the elf, dodging the incoming vines and roots, even floating mid-air using his ability before landing a soft punch on her face. With a click. She was sent flying out of the arena, hell yeah, mother gravity. "I am coming, Chara!" Upon seeing she in grave danger and finishing his enemy. He dashed towards her, an elephant man tried to interrupt him from aiding her, but Brook managed to hold him off. "Go get him!" Brook strained, holding the gigantic legs that is about to squash him. "Quick!!" Rain take a few glimpse at him, before turning his head back and leg it.

"Your enemy is me! Sparky!" The electric man shouted, with a flash, he appeared right in front of him blocking his way. "Get away!" He lunged a punch towards him but was instantly treated by ten thousand watts of shocking goodness. He was tossed away, but before he barely got up on his feet, Rey had already shoot out the fiery sphere in his hands.

"CHARA!!"
