Chapter 4 - The Duel.

"Why in Existence is that Applicant filling Herself to the brim with all kinds of food while fighting, even though She is also passively practicing the digest technique, Doesn't She know that that will inconvenience Her with a lot of Waste in Her intestines" One of the powerful officials supervising this test exclaimed in shock as well as the other Supervisors who saw it.

"Clang", Divine just finished slicing through a small Sand rat when the long awaited voice finally sounded.

[Applicant 495 has successfully passed the Admission test], "Phew" Divine collapsed on the floor with exhaustion and a sigh of relief, thinking that it was all over, however the voice that came next shortened Her relaxation and put Her in great distress.

[Duel organised in scenery 249, Applicant 227 and Applicant 495 must duel in order to attain ranks based on Your skills and proficiency in battle].

"What" Divine exclaimed in Shock, as Her exhaustion had totally taken away Her cold and indifferent countenance.

Soon a Silhouette materialised into the scenario also having heard the voice, it was a young lady with a hat that was letting out an invisible pressure, wearing a white well fitting dress, as the up part was tight fitting with it being long-sleeved and and a puff at its end, with white gloves covering both Her hands, with a white leggings and a corporate white pair of shoes, and an almost invisible white lace overlapping the legs, however one would feel enough compression out from this individual, complementing with Her sparkling white skin and hair, with deep blue eyes, and some sharp facial features, she looked like a stunning bride on a wedding day, Her whole personality screamed nobility.

Divine examined her from hiding, She had no stress or strain on Her face, not even one drop or dirt mark on Her cloth making Divine mad as She must have not even undergone a test before now, meanwhile she was clearly already well drained, of course this school would favor the rich, making them with full ornaments and maximum power attack the already vulnerable and weakened normal students. 'Well, I might as well use the element of surpriiii....ah', Divine was stopped in Her line of thoughts, as She covered Herself with compression that blended Her into the surroundings, as She examined and prepared for a lethal strike to the new comer from atop a tree, but she was sent a beam of compression that she managed to jump away from the tree as it exploded upon impact with the pressure.

"Let's finish this quickly" said the girl as she sent a vapour pressure (vapour that is manipulated in different ways that creates a form of extreme pressure well capable of decimation) towards the new position of divine, which divine quickly dodged with the camouflage compression still on, as it seemed the lady could very well sense and pinpoint Her, as She dodged, She also sent offensive compression towards Her mid air, but before Her attack could even reach 60 inches close to what seemed to be an appraised armor, it dissipated as a protection compression was already passively active before anything could even reach Her high quality protective armor. She tried attacking many more times to no avail as She was to Her limits, so She played a trick.

'Crack' 'Crack' 'Crunch' The young lady moved elegantly squashing the dry leaves on the ground which as she moved further inward of the Forest turned purple and later to feathers, purple Feathers, and atop a small cliff Divine seemed to be sitting on it and playing a flute as Her legs turned into a somewhat feathered tail as She wore just a purple bra, The song was so soothing as it crept into the very soul, but She abruptly started singing wildly, however before this the lady quickly snapped out of it, and She quickly sent a beam of compression towards Divine, Which seemed to have turned Her mad as she looked insanely at the young girl like how Marcelline in Adventure time behaves when She's about to suck blood, She then dashed at Her sending beams, metal feathers, Sound waves fiercely before Her towards the lady, Soon, she started having a tough time, as the beams of compression were spinning fast around Her bubble of protective compression, slowly dissipating it with the help of the metal feathers as some even passed through the bubble and were hitting Her, but thanks to Her protective armor, She was unscathed however the sound waves affecting Her mind were making it hard for Her to carry out compression, together with the fact that She was also battling Divine that easily passed through the now almost destroyed protective bubble of compression and was sending various types of attacks towards Her, the lady then sent a compression beam that missed divine and went astray.

"What the, 'jump', 'boom'" Divine said as She jumped out of the way of a compression beam, as Before, she had set up a plan to create an inanimate clone of Herself which She could totally control using elements and compression, and She made it use the special Hummy bird compression She used on the Thunder horned rabbit that had two effects, as She used the first one to make the lady lower her guard, but however in the nick of time, the lady managed to snap out of it before she could use it's second effect to put Her in disarray and and neutralise Her before She could even notice, but She had to switch to plan B which She was sure to finish the job, as since the girl's compression is striking inanimate objects and compression, it couldn't hurt Her allowing Her to effectively fight off and seemingly overpower this girl way above Her in sense of Power when She wasn't even with good concentration, but however this girl seemed to be sensible and sensed Her location once again, and sent a so called 'astray' beam of compression accurately to her pinpointed location even with her camouflage compression still active, and she had to jump out of the way, and thus losing concentration on the clone, as the compression was dissolved and a few feathers falling down as what was once the clone and powerful attacks, when she recovered from the attack she quickly revived the clone to fight, however it was already too late as the girl rushed to her at full speed as Her protective compression bubble was already completely destroyed and She hit Divine down with just a slap as She said.

"OK, You really are something, I guess you have earned yourself the right to know about me, the soon-to-be winner of this duel, Name's Silvie Hart of the noble Hart Family in support of the Hierarchy, too bad, only those born at the top remain at the top, soon You'll be swept into the lowly world where You belong" Silvie said.

'I can work with this, just someone who has been taught and forced to adopt a wrong thing from childhood, barely having Her own opinions of it' Divine thought as She noticed that the other half of her words were said remotely without any emotion in them, She could break Her and show Her the light, the truth, and leave the rest for Her to decide. However when She heard her other words She became frightened though no emotion showed on Her face.

"And I have been using only 27% Of my pressure, since You have clearly shown that you are capable enough, I will use 100% of my power along with my B+ rank wand"(Silvie)

'What', this was simply devastating, not only was She too strong, She had a wand, and B+ rank for that matter, as one of the reasons She came to this School is because She had researched and found out that all students are given C+ rank wands withon the School's premises (as wands were one of the many well crafted pressured ornaments that increases one's compression to terrifying levels along with it's proficiency like ones compression was like a tank on the bottom floor while being used was massive as waves of water would flow out, with reality being like ants, but however, when You add wands to the equation, Things take a drastic turn, As Your compression (the tank) could be raised to the height of a skyscraper going down with such a speed that it can turn into electricity or vapour, or both, and by the time they reach the ground, they could've already transformed into a different power or substance entirely having much destructive power.

Twenty minutes later

The scenery that once looked like a paradise now looked like doomsday as Divine doesn't even know How She survived these past twenty minutes as She was barely breathing, 'boom', another explosion took place at the spot she was just standing on a moment ago, as this girl looked like a devil in white right now, but She was still was calm and rational, not overly scared at all, just tired, and this girl's clothes haven't even acquired a dent on them since the trick She used, as all Her attacks and defences were just too easy, as they might be like to be torn papers to this girl, now thinking that maybe, She actually went through a test before She appeared spotless in the scenery, She was just darn too strong.

"It was fun while it lasted, but I'm getting bored of this little game, time to end it" Silvie said as She was charging a final blast towards the disoriented Divine, but unknown to Her Divine still had one trick up Her sleeves. As she was charging up, divine did a weird squat and threw Her leg in a particular posture, As the surrounding had a brown wind blow towards Silvie. "What"(Silvie), She was dumbstruck as Divine had sent all the Waste accumulated in Her body over all Her eating during the test into Her body, Divine didn't trust this Academiy's upper ups, so She prepared Herself for a last trump card against anything that comes, as a noble lady brought up by arrogant nobles who found fun in disgracing and tormenting normal folks, She was well familiar with this technique as She has been using it, well a more refined one all the days of Her life even when they were more Astral-friendly means because She was taught that way, but never ever has it ever been done on Her, and she was very shocked because She is a noble lady who for all Her life has always been on a strict diet, this much accumulated waste made Her body scream in turmoil as She could not even think to react in time, Her usually flat belly was now one of the biggest pots She had ever seen as She was about to start crying, Divine was very happy with the outcome as She had to wait for a long time before She got an opportunity to use this technique She had seen during Her Summer Holiday training on Silvie, She then used the power all Hugarzums had, the power to neutralize a fellow Hugarzum as She swiftly placed Her on Silvie's as when She removed it, a big bird beak was left there, in the form of biting Her, but it wasn't meant for pain but it spread something within the body that disconnects a Hugarzum From it's organism part, hence neutralizing the Hugarzum, however only a Hugarzum and nothing else had the power to this, and this is an inmodifiable and standard technique since the beginning of Hugarzums.

"Concede and I will return You back to Your former state" Divine said as She stood proudly over the now kneeling and sobbing Silvie.

"Waaaaaahhhh", Silvie cried atop Her voice as this life time change was giving Her turmoil as She looked up at Divine with Puppy dog eyes trying to plead on Her behalf.

"Concede" Divine repeated Herself again to be clear.

"Fine, I, I concede, I concede, please just reverse me back to my former state please, waaaah" Silvie finally conceded so She could get Herself back to normal, and indicating so, a voice resounded.

[Duel successful, Winner : Applicant 495, conceder : Applicant 227, Scenery dissipating].

"Yeah""Phew" Divine was proud of Her victory and took mental notes of things She had to better, while at the same time tired and exhausted as She fell to the ground relieved that they did not send another student Her way, if not She may just have collapsed, She then let out a small chuckle reminiscing about Her day, happy that She made it into this academy, However She was brought out of Her reverie with a small tug.

"I conceded, now turn me back to normal", It was the sobbing Silvie.

"Hehe, I didn't exactly learn the reverse technique, maybe You just let it out the natural way" Divine said while scratching Her head.

"Wait, Whhhhhaaaaattttt" Silvie screamed as they were separated as the Scenery dissipated.

"Hehe" (Divine).
