The tension on me was uncomfortable. Everyone us watching me taking a single step to the centre. I don't like it. I don't like the way they all look at me even though I was also part of it a moment ago.
The pressure on me intensified, Elsa was looking at me. I took the basic stand, everyone take. She said, " Come at me."
The voice was profound. I felt chills throughout my body. I charged at her. She dodged the attack with zero effort. And then she back kick my face.
I managed to dodged it by pure instinct. Elsa face light up. The next kick was even harder to dodged.
As if my body is being controlled by another person, I moved perfectly. Sometime clumsily I moved.
Elsa stop attacking, " Are you going to run away forever? "
I could feel something snap inside me. I don't want to be insult by her. It is not my fault that I can't fight but I know, she just trying to ignite my will to fight. I could hurt her you know.
I could feel the blood pumping in my body. I was panting like a dog. I noticed I have low stamina. I should quite smoking.
While i was collecting thought, Elsa body disappeared in a flash. " Huh! "
I searched her left and right. But the pain come from the back. I was rolling, using the momentum I stop myself from falling.
I slowly get up. Elsa was surprised, she doesn't expect him to get up back quickly. She use her strength to make him fall. Although he have great instinct, without proper usage it will be a waste. She have see what the boy capable of. ' Time to finish. '
Elas was looking at me like she was looking at some treasure. I drop the sword. This thing is useless in this fight. He had to extremely careful with it.
I quickly control the flow of energy. From the orb to hand, feet, brain and heart, I flow my energy to entire body. The pain in my back dropped significantly.
With the sudden burst of energy, I moved quickly this time. I punched, Elsa dodged and she throw the fist.
This goes on for a good five minutes. Elsa was really impressed with Lucian performance. With each time passed, she increased her power a little bit. She is now using the rank " +E " equivalent of energy. And Lucian was able to dodged and attacked. Although his attacked become more weak That is pretty impressive for rank " F ".
I was melting with unknown feeling, I enjoyed it. What it this feeling? I'm battle maniac?. No, I simply enjoy the fight. But It is a shame that It is not even a fight. My attack were easily dodged by her and the technique she use is beautiful. The way her foot moved with entire body, trying to explore me.
I moved like a wild dog. I let my instinct overwhelm my will. My surroundings turn dark and I disappeared.
Elsa could see something wrong with Lucian, he doesn't dodged the attack like normal person would. He fight aggressively like a wild animals. His energy control was in chaos and yet she find strange feeling to it. Wild and yet elegant.
His power double and the use of energy was more and more chaos. He doesn't dodged the attack anymore. He use the concentrated energy to absorb her attack which is dangerous because his arm could easily blast away.
' It seem he lost control over energy. I had to knock him out.'
She opened her rank fully Rank " +A " Everyone around her feel chill in their soul. Her energy is transformed into pure ice energy. That trait is only limited to Rank " S " and higher but The proved that she can achieved it with Rank " +A " show her talent.
She stopped rampaging Lucian using her energy. Lucian knocked out immediately, she could use her strength but it will damage permanently to Lucian.
After everything is over, she composed herself. She told the class to rest in classroom and left with Lucian on her hand.
****
Power. Strength.
Those words repeatedly appeared in my head. The echoing sound of pathetic person. I wale up with a sweat.
I was in bandage. I tried to think back about my fight against Elsa. I lost my mind during our counter. I lost my control. The mind overwhelm like a child being toyed by adult. It is a shame to me. I always thought I have the calmest mind. The customer on the store are usually a dick so with calm mind you can bullshit your way.
Emily already get mad at the drunk so manager always works her at heavy lifting. Well, how did I lost?
" Your energy is unstable so it control over your mind. Usually this stuff only happen when you have high stress or straight up psychopath. "
I hear the sound behind the curtain. The curtain open and the man entered.
His face look like he doesn't have enough sleep for like 2 week. The way he carried his body show he want to take a rest. He wear doctor coat so he must be the one that treat him.
I thank him, he just waved his hands, after a few checking he say it is time to go. He pushed me out of the room and close it. I just stand there with confused. What just happened? The whole process was so fast with his dizzy head he walk to his dormitory.
It is already night time so the class must be over.
Bizz! Bizzzz!
The vibration come from his hand, and he noticed that there is stranger watch in his wrist. ' When did i put it? ' He never wear watch so this strange looking device confused him.
The watch said, Elsa on the screen. I tap the name and tiny text appeared. It said " meet me at my office. "
It has a map in it so I easily follow the direction. I was in front of Elas office. It has her name tag on the door.
I fix my clothes although most of the clothes are tore apart. I gently knocked the door, waiting for answer. Not a single voice was heard. I knocked again this time harder than usual. Again no sound.
I wait for 5 minutes. I decided to left before I turned away, I checked if the door was closed. It function like a open door so with my stupid thought I opened it.
" Hump. "
I hear the lady coughing, I slowly close the door and step beside the entrance. Elsa glance at me and enter the door with coffee in her hand.
Elsa sit on the table , I followed suit.
She handed me a juice bottle, I look at and it was yogurt and lemon combined mixture. I opened the bottle and taste a little, surprisingly it is good.
Seeing me enjoying myself, Elsa clapped her hand to caught my attention.
I look at her, to be honest I was a little nervous. Do I fail her expectations?
She took out the paper and handed it over to me, I looked at the content quickly. It say about joining our school representative students.
" What? " I pointed at the paper.
Elsa nodded, " I want you to join golden generation festival. "
" Why ? "
" You have potential to become one and beside it will start at next four months so we have time to train you."
" Your reason?"
Elsa shake her head, I think about pro and con of this contest. Golden generation festival is a fighting tournament for our young generation to raise the moral of human. The star of the festival is usually recruited by union or their affiliate guild.
I can make myself famous with this festival but I hate attention. And there is a few good point to gain, not worth the time and stress.
I shake my head, before I opened my mouth, the atmosphere suddenly shift.
***
With a sighed I returned to my dormitory. I signed my name in the form. Do i have a choice? No. From the start Elsa planned for me to join. Showing me and asking was for show.
It is not that bad. I can train with Elsa, The burning witch. So my overall power can increase. If I want to find my origin I need strength. That is what my gut told me about.
I arrived at my room and lay it on the bed. I grabbed my phone. I saw the few text from Emily. I chat with her for a minute before falling asleep. I was tired. My body feel sore.
Tomorrow will be more active day because Elsa will train me. She say she wanted me to teach me about Energy manipulation. I must get-up early.
