Natasha vs Asher
'System, how much is a pearl coin worth? Also, what can I buy with it, and where can I use it?" Natasha thought as she wished to know its uses since it was the reward for completing the quest.
<A pearl coin is worth one thousand pyrite coins. And you can use it to buy things in the crown world, as it's the currency there.>
'How is debt to you handled? Will I have to pay interest? Will the amount pile up if I refuse to pay? How long must I pay it back if I fail this quest?' Natasha was a little doubtful about her ability to complete it, especially after seeing Allura use an ability.
<You have two options to pay your debt. In interest every month if you want to stall the payment due to not having the funds to pay it or paying in full.>
<If you refuse to pay, the amount will indeed pile up, and it will rise fifty percent every month if you don't pay interest. Though once the amount reaches two times the original debt amount. I will force you to do things against your will to cover the cost of the debt.>
'You are just like the debt collectors and as ruthless as them.' Natasha helplessly thought as she sighed.
Time passed as more students were eliminated from the competition, as the second to last round began.
"Alright, everyone, this is the semi-finals of this competition. Now let's see who will be the first to fight." Mr. Adam announced while smiling and putting his hand in his pocket.
Natasha and Allura wondered if they might face each other but kept this to themselves.
"The first battle will be Natasha vs. Asher. Please head to the arena." Mr. Adam proclaimed as he placed the drawn-out names in his other pocket.
Both students called, nodded, and walked to the arena. Once they did, Natasha looked at Asher as he checked to see if his flail was in good shape.
Asher had short blonde hair and a moderately muscular frame. He also had cyan-colored eyes.
"You may fight." Mr. Adam's instructed before he backed away a bit.
"Let's fight Natasha. I wonder if I'll win against you." Asher challenged as he sauntered towards her with a relaxed expression. He swung his flail around, not taking this battle seriously.
"Likewise, Asher, I hope you take this battle seriously." Natasha smiled as she ran at him with a severe gaze.
"But why should I? Won't that make me not have fun?" Asher questioned as he swung his flail around, but it seemed to extend outward to a ridiculous degree and at extreme speed and precision toward Natasha. And he stood still as he attacked.
Natasha narrowed her eyes as she never saw Asher use this ability in his earlier matches. She waited until it was just a bit in front of her before jumping out of the way. The moment she was out of the way, the ground shook as the arena was cracked and caved in where the flail ball ended.
Mr. Adam also narrowed his eyes as he looked at Asher suspiciously but kept his mouth shut. He didn't know if this was a talent, skill, spell, or technique.

Diabolical Flail Controlling, Extending, and Accelerating technique:
Technique Description: This fighting style requires the user to use full concentration on the flail so you can manipulate its direction with your mind. The user cannot move their body while using this technique.
This technique will allow the user to move the ball on the flail with their will. It will move two hundred percent of your max speed.
It will use these bars to stay activated and, in this order, mana, soul power, stamina, mental power, adrenaline, and vigor. If you use up your Vigor bar, the technique will consume parts of your body to keep it running. Eventually, it can kill you if you don't decide to stop.
Every unsuccessful attack will subtract two of the first bar in the list with at least one in its bar. For every successful attack, it will remove one. And if you kill your target, you will earn one. (You cannot exceed your original volume in these Stat bars.)
Technique grade: Fuchsia
Foundational Mastery Level:
Foundational Adept(One month of practice.)
Stat Physique: Unknown
'Why is there such a big shot coming to this school? First the Pyramada family, now the Tylon corporation?!' Natasha yelled in her mind in frustration as she saw the terrifying technique.
Natasha began to dodge every swing at the last moment, trying to waste Asher's Stat bars. However, every time it hit the ground, a cracked hole appeared in the arena.
'I see. It's going to be harder than I thought.' Natasha thought as she dodged another attack at haired breath.
Eventually, Natasha dodged Asher's attacks many times, and both combatants tired as they fought.
"You're annoying like a little insect, now get squashed just like them." Asher grumbled as he swung it and guided the flail ball toward Natasha, trying to render one of her legs unusable.
"I see what you're doing, Asher, and since you don't plan on going easy on me, why should I be to you?" Natasha stated as she approached Asher, who had fallen to the ground from exhaustion after using his technique. She stabbed both hands, causing him to lose the battle.
"Natasha wins this fight. Asher, please head to the stretchers. Now let's continue the competition." Mr. Adam announced with a smile.
"Fine." Asher replied, although he didn't know how to walk, as tired as he was.
The nurses brought the stretcher inside, picked up Asher, and placed him on it before returning to the medical wing.
