The tag battle ends with the Student Council obtaining a victory. Everyone's attention is now on Eriko vs Rose.
I watched as I saw Rose's friends return to their spot along with the other two girls in defeat.
As for the battle Rose tries to make more advances on Eriko but Eriko evades and ducks all of them.
"What is she doing Valerus what is she doing?" Ezekiel shakes me around and pleads for my opinion.
"I dont know playing defensively" I shrug my shoulders with a smile on my face. I turn my head towards the fight "What are you thinking of Eriko?" are the thoughts I have in my mind.
"She has the speed, durability, power, and power. What is she afraid of?"
"That mark" Ceaser spoke.
Oh right the rose mark I thought to myself.
"So if that were me I would end this match right away," Ezekiel said.
Me and Ceaser stare at the Leo Star Mage.
"What did I say something."
"Well did that plan work against Mr.Reigns" a familiar voice calls out.
Faith comes walking back from the match.
A commotion comes back as we look to our left.
"Ms.Luna great job" "Of course or the student council would win" "Luna you were amazing" A crowd forms around the council members walking towards us.
Faith, Issac, and Luna return from their battle.
STEP STEP STEP
"I was partially injured!" Ezekiel says putting his fist up. "Dont use that injured card as an excuse there Kitty Kat. Mind you I was fighting serious when I fought you" Faith says with a smug look. "Well you looked like you were struggling-"
"Would you two please shut your mouths?" Luna says with a calm but cold smile looking at the two of them."
"Yes of course," the both of them say.
Speaking of Albeck I saw of glimpse of him in the corner of my eye observing the matchup. He watched alone in an isolated corner with his hands crossed.
"Anyways great win out there," I say to change the mood.
Ceaser puts up a thumbs up.
"Ran into a little situation got the job done," Faith says.
"It indeed was an interesting battle I was lost there a moment. Very lost" Luna says.
"It's a good thing I brought up that barrier. The scene would not have looked nice after and I would get an earful from Axel." Issac brings up.
We all then turn our attention to the match-up. I glance at the hourglass 7 minutes left.
SWING
"Argh"
DODGE
"Why isn't she closing in on me? I know that she can she has speed but why?" Eriko examines the fight as she looks down on her arm. "Wait she isn't tryna to hit me she's trying to aim for the same spot she hit already."
"If that's what the strategy is."
Eriko changes her stance. She now assumes a much different stance than before with her left heel flat, her fully extended leg with her left arm parallel to it, her right leg planted in line with the left heel, her arm slightly above her shoulder, and her grip changing on her rapier with her thumb on top.
TWIPPP
Rose's chain whip comes whirling at her.
CLASH
Eriko lunges forward and connects her rapier with the pointed end of the chain whip casting it away. She then rushes Rose who's defenseless. Eriko was a mere 4 feet away from Rose as she was about to land a crushing blow.
CLAP CLAP
Rose claps her hands twice rapidly.
"Argh"
Eriko stops mid-motion as she falls to the ground and drops her Rapier.
"What the hell"
POW
Rose kicks Eriko in the face sending her back.
THUMP
-----------------------------
"Ouch, that must've hurt," Ezekiel says. "What did she do?" Faith asks. "Hmm, it must involve that Rose mark on her arm not only that but look at her whip" Luna points out.
SHINE
On Roses's weapon, one of the 4 roses shines on it.
"Interesting weapon perhaps this may be a little challenge for Eriko," Issac says.
"This isn't looking good," I thought to myself.
---------------------------------
"Ugh," Eriko is slow to get back on her feet as she slowly rises on one knee. She feels a slight pain as a red liquid drips from her nose.
"Blood huh"
"Ohh that's a nice color on you Maiden," Rose says as she walks closer to her.
Eriko then gets back on her feet and picks up her rapier.
"You probably wondering what happened or how it happened it was just simple. DONT. GET. HIT. BY. MY. WHIP. Especially this point right here" Rose taunts as she points at the tip of her chain whip.
SPIT
"Alright, thanks for revealing that very valuable information. That means I can just do this" Eriko whips the blood from her nose and spits on the ground. She then points her rapier up.
LIGHT CREATION MAGIC: HEAVEN'S LIGHT
A ball of pure light appears from Eriko's sword as multiple shots of pure light shoot out from it like homing missiles from a jet.
"Tch" Rose runs and dodges and attacks with her whip.
Jumping and sliding across the courtyard Axel attempts to dodge everything as well.
BZZ
"Agh" one of the beams of light nicks Rose's uniform from her upper right shoulder.
STEP STEP STEP STEP STEP
"Huh"
STAR MAGIC: HEAVEN BEAM
"She can still move?!" Rose surprised by this revelation attempts to come back.
WARP
"Huh?"
-------------------
All of us spectating looked surprised. Even Albeck looked impressed as I saw his eyes widen. I looked across the courtyard on the same level as us Rose's friends looked impressed.
"What did she do?" Faith asks.
"Dont tell me," Luna said.
"What"
------------------------
"Surprise"
POW
Rose teleports right in front of Eriko and punches her to the ground. Once again slamming her into the ground.
"You see my weapon always me to have one of 4 abilities as long as I mark my opponent with it. The more rose marks on your body the more I can manipulate it. Oh, it seems you have another one on you" Rose says as she points to Eriko's face.
"This will be fun," Rose says as he Rosebud Chained Whip 2nd rose begins to glow.
