My battle with Roy lasted less than ten minutes while Lily is still fighting in the full swing.
She and her opponent seem to be on the same level as they are fighting quite frenziedly but no one is getting the upper hand.
This will take some time! I thought with a sigh. This update is available on novel·fire.net
Earlier in the fight Roy, I learned a lot and found a way used my fire jets as a defensive measure.
I want to test it if it is plausible or not while creating the moves, I tried different ways to utilize my ability but most of those attempts failed quite miserably.
This time I am confident though, I think this new move I thought is plausible and will even better than I think.
The Top 250 will be selected today and tomorrow I will have to fight ten fights to get into the top 50.
I felt a little excited and tense when I think about tomorrow’s fight, I will have to try my best and have to win the maximum fight, so my chance of getting into Top 50 will increase even more.
Half an hour passed but lily’s fight still hadn’t finished, she is still fighting.
Using skill after skill, drinking mana potions every few minutes.
They have twenty more minutes to finish their fight if they couldn’t then it will be considered a tie as one will get maximum one hour for the fight.
Ever since I returned from the fight, I got more and more looks, these looks were not weird and funny look like earlier but look of amazement.
I first couldn’t understand the reason for their attacks but as I read the discussion of my fight in the feed, I understood a little.
The look of amazement because moves that I’ve used in the fight.
One user named Archer299 had written quite a detailed description of my fight and it is already read by thousands of people and thousands are reading them by minutes.
I have to say, this Archer299 had a quite good eye as he was able to see through my moves clearly.
He clearly stated that the moves I used are not the skill but moves made though ability manipulation.
He said these moves are at only nascent stage and would become even stronger as my control over my ability increases.
The thing got me more interest is that he stated the pros and cons of my ability manipulations.
He said the biggest pros of my ability manipulation is not its lethality but the mana conservation.
He noted that while my opponent had to drink several bottle potions fight against me while I did not drink a single drop of the potion.
He clearly dismisses the rumor of me using any device under my sleeve to provide me mana.
After stating pros, he also stated cons, he said that my ability manipulation is very powerful, it is also could be obstructed as I have poor control over it and he predicts that I will surely lose control over my moves and stumble badly.
He also said that it is also very hard for me to improve in this aspect in a short period of time and as long as my opponent is smart, he would be able to obstruct me.
He said I have the potential to reach Top 50 as the two fights that I have fought till now, I have not used any skills of mine.
I have to commend him, what he said mostly true, just that he had underestimated my control over my ability moves.
I agree my control over my ability moves is loose but it is not that loose that anyone can easily obstruct them.
And I also observe from the writing style of the author that he is a definitely lieutenant stage or above evolver.
Only those evolver at such level could make an observation of such level about my ability.
Still, I decided to follow this archer and will read his opinions about the fights.
I would have read it now but lily’s fight had suddenly turned very interesting.
Only ten are remaining till one hour limit is over and both of them are fighting as their life depended on it.
Drinking potion and activating skill, this is the only thing happening in the ring.
Both of them releasing skill after skill at each other without pause, sometimes even activating three skill at a time.
Lily definitely got a tough opponent this time, he has the same level of strength, if she wasn’t able to bring something new in a few minutes then this fight would definitely be a tie.
Others may think Lily is at her last leg but I completely disagree with them, I know that Lily is still hiding some of her strength.
I know that Lily had created five seals of supreme combat exercise and physical strength she is revealing in a fight that of three seals and that’s not all, I have an inkling that lily is definitely hiding something even more powerful.
She hadn’t revealed because she is saving it for tomorrow, where she will fight for the spot in the top 50 but seeing there are only seven minutes are remaining on time limit, she will reveal some of her strength to end the fight quickly.
I was right, two minutes later lily suddenly increased her speed and activated the strength type skill which seems similar to nine raging strikes.
With her increased strength she kept attacking furiously that he barely get any chance to defend but he kept persisting despite getting attack such furiously.
He knew that he had to persist for five minutes before this fight could consider a tie and if his luck is good then his next opponent could be weaker than current, giving him chance to enter top 250.
Though it would not be good at getting in Top 50 where he could get a price and have a 100% chance to get into the organization, it is still good.
After getting into 250, he would get recognition and some organization could even hire him seeing his potential.
Not lily’s fight but most if 2nd fight also happening such way where both parties fighting at tooth and nail to win.
’Bam!’ finally lily able to send her opponent out of the ring when only two minutes remaining to an hour.
She looks quite tired and small injuries could be seen all over her body.
"Congratulation on getting into Top 250!" I congratulated as she sat by me.
"Don’t make fun of me, that fight was a disaster, I bet you must have finished your fight way before me!" she said.
"I just finished a few minutes before you!" I said modestly, there is no reason bragging that I finished my fight in less than ten minutes.
As we quietly watching the fight, I got congratulatory messages from my friends and acquaintances.
A message of jill really made me laugh as she had written, Since when did I get into the habit of bashing my opponent of heads and below that there was an animation of a prehistoric man constantly bashing the head of think weak man with rock mace.
It was really funny, I reply to her messages and watched the fight for quite a while before I remember something.
"I am going back to the apartment, are you coming or staying here?" I asked Lily.
’’I’ll stay for a while, I want to watch my future opponents!" She said jokingly.
"Ok, then see you back in the mess," I said leave.
Its only mid-afternoon and fights will last till evening before List of a Top 250 is finalized.
"Chew chew chew chew!" Ashlyn suddenly comes out of me when I get out of the venue and started to demand snacks.
Seeing how well behaved she was during the day, I divided to buy her couple of snack.
I just brought her snacks but forbid her to eat on the spot, she will have to eat that all in back in the apartment.
She was a little annoyed at first but seeing I brought her all the snacks she wanted, she did not make a fuss.
After everything is done, I called a cab to the apartment, after dropping Ashlyn to the apartment, I am going straight for the training hall, I have to test a couple of moves for tomorrow.
If It worked as successfully as I think, then I will be even more confident to get into the top 50.
