Ilora Beaten...

My mana has been increasing pretty much everyday. It's been almost a month since the vacation. I train on the ground again. Ashley and Jacob look at me all confused as I sit and meditate. "His mana has gotten unbelievably strong, hasn't it?" Jacob asks Ashley. "Yes...I can feel it...Not only that, he has even stopped leaking out his mana..." Ashley says agreeing with Jacob. "I wonder if we can get that strong..." Jacob says. You can you idiot if you ever went to the library. There a lot of books on your divine lion flame magic in the library. Only if you ever read those books.

"Hey, have you heard!" There was a shout from Casey. "Huh? What has she got now?" Jacob seems to be unsatisfied by Casey's arrival. "Some girl insulted Ilora and her mother. Ilora seems to be really pissed about it." Casey says. "WHAT?! WHO WOULD THERE SUCH A THING?!" Ashley looks scared. "She's from squad...Fighters..." Casey says. "Oh no..." Ashley gets more scared. "This is bad...A senior squad...Tsch!" Ashley clenches her fist. "We have to stop Ilora from fighting, where is it?" Ashley asks. "They are duking it down at the training grounds." Casey replies. I quickly get past Ashley, Casey and Jacob. Their eyes stay widen. "What the fuck just happened?" Jacob says as his face drops with surprise.

I reach the training ground where everyone has covered the ground. Tsch! I can hear them talking but I can't see anything. I need to see where I can find a good spot to watch what's happening. I look to my left and there is a tree branch where I can hop onto. I quickly hop onto it. I can see the fight clearly now. "You dare to insult my MOTHER!" Ilora performs her ice magic. She uses the floating ice shards to attack the girl in front of her. The girl is wearing a black light armour which kinda looks cool, she has black hair with a short pony-tail and has two different coloured eyes. The left one is red coloured and the right one is blue coloured. I am guessing those are artificial eyes.

The girl is capable of dodging the shard Ilora threw at her with ease. She didn't even need to flip flop or anything, she's just a natural born fast. "I never said anything wrong about your mother. Kaori was always a coward and will always be a coward." The girl says. She seems to know Ilora's mother. Why would she call her a coward though? "SHUT UP!" Ilora sends icy spikes grow from the ground and head towards the girl. "Ah! That's Sean's technique. Good job copying it to your's but your weak." The girl says as she appears in front of Ilora. She seems to know Sean. "Your mother was a coward and your just weak." The girl whispers to Ilora and hits her in the guts. Ilora spits out blood. Everyone cheers up. Tsch! Where's the headmaster? If he doesn't arrive then...I may have to take action. "You said I am weak?" I look back at the battle and Ilora smiles. "Your wrong..." Her zero degree magic. One she used back at the abandoned factory against Victoria. "Freeze to death or give up." Ilora gives the girl a wicked smile. "You!" The girl looks angry. "That was a good trick but...It won't work against me." The girl smiles. "What?!" Ilora looks confused. Tsch! Plus she doesn't have time. "You see this armour, it's made to resist ice, water, fire and wind magic. So, what will you do now?" Ilora leaves the girl and falls on the ground. "That's right! You lose, I win." The girl says giving Ilora a wicked smile. "ILORA!" Ashley screams as Ashley arrives with our classmate. Oh no...She's going to attack again tsch! THAT BASTARD! "AND THIS WILL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER GO UP AGAINST SOMEONE LIKE ME AGAIN!!!"

*BOOM*

The girl's eyes widen as I arrived in front of her stopping her punch with my palm. I give her a death stare. The girl falls on the ground. "What are you...?" The girl questions. I move towards the unconscious Ilora. "What's your name?" I ask the girl. "Flora Fiona..." The girl says. "The tournament, you will be participating in it, right?" I ask. "Tsch! Of course because my class is one of the strongest one's in all Regina, we will be participating from Rodeo academy's side." Flora replies. I pick up Ilora. "2 months later, 25th of December, the tournament, Ilora...Will beat you and you won't be able to do anything about it." I say. "What makes you say that?" The girl asks. I look at the girl. "You dare to question my judgement?" I ask as all the staff arrives. Flora's eyes are filled with complete fear. "What's all this commoti-" The headmaster looks at me with Ilora on my shoulders with widen eyes. His worried. "Don't worry, headmaster, your daughter is safe with me." I whisper in his ears and leave. "Wait!" The headmaster says to me. He gives me a receipt. "Take her to the medical room." The headmaster says. "Understood." I say and leave.

"You felt it too, right headmaster?" Jian asks with a smile on his face. "That boy...What would his mana power be at this stage...His much stronger then the time when he joined..." The headmaster says. "I would say, his mana power has surpassed the mark of around 25,000" Caster says. "Bullshit!" Oliver argues.

I couldn't hear their conversation anymore as my ear's can only hear things upto a certain distance. I take Ilora to the medical room. She then gets treated by the medical robot. "That was my brother's squad..." Cyan arrives near the medical room where I stood. "Squad fighter huh?" I ask. "I am sorry...About what happened." Cyan says. "Don't worry, it's all good. It's not your mistake anyways." I say. Cyan's face gets saddened. "I have a question for you." I say to Cyan. "You can ask anything you want." Cyan says. "Don't you ever feel like surpassing your brother?" I ask. Cyan looks confused at first. Then she smiles. "All the time...But...I am just not...Strong enough...I am not a natural born like my brother." Cyan says. "You see, I plan to train Ilora for the tournament, so I was wondering if you want to join in?" I ask. "It's not only Ilora you will have to train." Mr. Daniel comes towards me. "There have been changes towards the tournament and major ones." Mr. Daniel says. Cyan and I are confused by what he said.

"What do you mean?" I ask. "The tournament was supposed to be an individual skill testing tournament but...For some weird reason councillor Cao Ping wanted this to be a team tournament." Mr. Daniel says. "Wait a minute...You don't mean...That I have to train my whole team do you?" I ask. "Consider how much you have increased your mana power it's upto you vice-captain!" Mr. Daniel waves a goodbye. Is he seriously kidding me? What is he doing then? Isn't he a teacher? I sigh. I look at Cyan who smiles. "I guess...I am not training with you..." Cyan says looking away from me. "Who said your not?" I ask. "Huh?!" Cyan is confused. "You want to surpass your brother, I want to surpass everyone, Ilora wants to surpass that chick and my class...They have to surpass everyone to be considered official. We all have reasons to train. So what makes you say that your not training with me?" I ask. Cyan's eyes widen. "Thank you..." She says.

"Ilora is up, Ilora is up, Ilora is up!" The medical robot comes towards us. I look at the robot. "I will be there." I say. I get into the room. "Hey!" I wave at her. "Who brought me here?" Not wasting anytime with her questions huh? "That would be me." I say. "I see, thanks you I guess." Man what's with these thank you's today. "Listen, I saw you...Stop that punch with just one hand." Ilora says. "Yeah..." I say. Ilora looks sad. "If you don't mind...I would like to request something from you." Ilora says. "Huh?!"
