"Girl! Stop this tiger!" I shouted to Noelle
"Shoo shoo shoo" Noelle shooed the tiger
The tiger's aggression went away and followed Noelle's order.
"Okay, now, practice your abilities, Vine Fury, Vine Spikes, Jungle Camouflage and Root Defence. Show me your vine fury" I ordered
She nodded, and summoned 5 long vines from the ground, they are like moving octopus tentacles.
"These things are great for attacking, grappling, holding enemies, multitasking and having speed" that's what she said
She used the vine lashes on the dirt at immense speed, it even started digging.
"Can it go sharp and non sharp?" I asked
"Yep"
The point of the lashes turned into fists
"Okay, kinda cool, now how about the vine spikes?"
"Vine spikes are just spikes coming out from the ground"
She summoned vine spikes out from the ground.
"Camouflage?"
She turned invisible, I can't barely see her
"Root defence?"
She revealed herself again and summoned roots around her, covering herself in a circle out of roots.
"Let's go to the next biome, go first and try landing" I said
"When every time I summon a portal, it always opens up behind my opponent and suck them on my next biome. So there's no way I can go first" she replied
"Okay just teleport us to the Arctic Tundra, just wait for me to stand up first before entering the portal"
She summoned the portal behind me and I was sucked in. I tried to land on my feet but somehow failed and landed on my back, it felt like something was preventing me from landing properly.
I stood up and waited for Noelle, she was sucked in. I could see her trying to land on her feet but she failed, she can land but she doesn't look like used to it.
Damn it is very very cold here... Hmmm? I could see sky blue with low opacity around Noelle with sparkles.
"What is that? Why are you like, glowing?" I asked
It's the Frozen Grip, passive ability. Whoever goes near me or enters this sky blue thing, they will slow down even things. For example a bullet, you shot at me with a pistol. When the bullet entered the Frozen Grip, it will slow down, I could flick it to make it go back to you to shoot you" she replied
"Okay, show me your Ice.... Ice shit or something"
"It's Ice Shard"
She summoned floating shards of ice around her, she threw it all to the ice floor, it made holes. Damn, her abilities are dangerous.
"Frost Nova?"
She closed her arms and spread it, a blue blast came around her and reached me. I, I can't move, what the... It is colder than before, I.... CANNOT MOVE!
"Oh! Sorry, Frost Nova is a blast ability blasting in a small radius. Whoever is in the radius, they get frozen, don't worry about waiting there for too long. I can melt it faster" Noelle said
The ice around me turned into water, it got thinner and smaller. I regained my breath, HER ABILITIES CAN KILL PEOPLE!
"Frost Nova can help me freeze the enemy giving me time to regain my breath, tiredness or time to create a portal"
"Okay, how about the Ice Wall? Or is it just an ice wall?"
She summoned an ice wall from the ice ground. We teleported to the next, the Dessert Oasis.
"Desert Mirage, it is a passive one. It is similar to Frozen Grip. When you go near me, you will start hallucinating because of the heat I produce. I might turn three, or you might be seeing sandsman, or probably a bottle of water out of nowhere"
"So one of your abilities in this biome is Sandstorm right? You can summon a sandstorm and your enemy's vision will be visible and hard to move?"
"Yes"
"What about Mirage Strike?"
"I can hallucinate you an unhallucinate you, whatever you see in your hallucinate. It will turn into real when you are unhallucinated"
"Oasis Bloom?"
"I can bloom out energy from the oasis, healing my wounds"
"So you don't have any attacks?"
"Well I have a bonus one where I can control the sand"
She started controlling the sands below her.
"It can lift me, I can turn the sand into a big big fist, or I could control it like vine lash and a lot more"
Now, the next biome, the Volcanic Crater but this time, Noelle's projection on landing is getting better. This biome, is very chaotic, the volcano nearby kept spitting out rocks. A rock is about to land on me but I punched it away with my ability on time.
"This place is dangerous so we better gotta hurry, what's Magma Blast?"
"Well here it is, the volcano, it is a passive skill"
"Lava Flow?"
"I can summon lava on the ground, so that I can't kill my opponent, I could just summon lava around them to limit their ground they can go out step on"
"Volcanic Eruption?"
"It is also similar to my passive skill, but I can activate the volcano to erupt more lava and magma rocks, or maybe smoke too"
Magma Shield?"
"I can create a temporary shield of molten rock that absorbs incoming attacks and reflects a portion of the damage back at the attacker"
"Okay!!! Let's go let's go to the next biome" I shouted
As Noelle opened the portal I jumped in. I started floating because of the water, Noelle joined in.
"Don't worry about drowning, I have a skill to give my opponent gills" she said
Gills?..... Yeah she is right, I could breath here, it felt like the gills are on my neck. There are fishes around, coral reefs on the ground.
"Abyssal Surge?"
"I can summon a wave of water that pushes enemies away and inflicts water damage. My body is surrounded by a blue aura, and they can manipulate nearby water. It is a passive skill"
"Tidal Wave?"
"I can summon a massive tidal wave that crashes down on enemies, inflicting water damage and knocking them back"
"Like you can summon a wave underwater?" I asked
She nodded, she summoned a moving wave behind her. It is moving, but felt like it is a CGI.
"Water Walk?"
"Well I could walk instead of floating, water felt better than floating"
"Aqua Prison?"
She made a cage around me made out of water. I punched it with my arm, it is very solid. I charged my arm for a bit and punched it, still didn't break.
"Let's go back in our world and let me see what and how I can teach you" I said to her
"Okaaaaay"
She despawn the aqua Prison and summons a portal back to our world. I started calculating the use and the best uses of her ability.
I waited for her to rest a bit, then we went back to the biomes one by one to teach her some other ways she can use her ability that is something in mind. We've been practicing hours and hours until lunch.
"Hoooo, I am full. Let's rest for a bit" Noelle said after finishing her food
Noelle covered her eyes with her jacket to take a nap. I looked around to see something that to see something that can entertain me. A stick, there is a stick near a tree. Long enough that felt like sword.
I picked it up and started swinging it with styles.
"How's the training going?" My gigantosaurus asked
"It went well, she is learning fast" I replied
"Hmm, wielding a stick like a sword, I see. Not a bad imitation, but you'll need more than that to defeat those biomes" the Gigantosaurus said
"You're right, Noelle's got some powerful abilities, but she needs to learn to use them strategically, to adapt to different situations"
"Indeed, she's still not that good, but she has potential. The referee chose the right one"
"It's not always easy, she's got a lot of raw power, but sometimes she's a little too eager to jump into the fray. I need to teach her patience and control"
"Patience and control are essential, but so is courage, the willingness to fight, to push beyond your limits. You must find a way to balance those qualities within her"
"I know, she's got the potential to be a truly formidable fighter, if we can help her reach her full potential"
"I believe in you, you've proven yourself time and again. You have the strength, the wisdom, and the heart to guide her"
"Thank you"
We went quiet, only the swinging stick can be heard. My shoulder started to ache and stiff, I stopped and rub it.
"Wait, Mateo, let me see that stick again!" The Gigantosaurus said like in a hurry and surprised
I raised my stick..... It is glowing with aura. My... Own aura.
"Is, this part of our ability?"
"I..... Do not know, back in the province. Someone did a stick to stick fight with their abilities on but the sticks didn't glow with aura" I replied
"The rage, then this. Something's new, but, how"
I dropped the stick, my aura in the stick faded away.
"I'll... We will soon check it to the others, thru might have it also"
"Okay, indeed"
4 days passed, Noelle and I kept practicing. Even how many days until the school war begin, we made it like it starts tomorrow. Noelle finally learned and says it is okay now and stop training. I agreed and we wait for the next partner selection.
After school, I asked James to take a stick with his ability activated. The stick he was holding didn't emit his aura. I just said just checking.
"Crazy news, remember the stick one day? I was holding during my practice with Noelle? I asked one of my friends to hd a stick but it didn't work" I said to my Gigantosaurus
"That is very strange, I think you might got it from Noelle during your practice. Probably one of her biomes"
"No, I don't think so, we will just make it stand by and figure it out when we have time"
