"Amon, come here!" A loud voice resounded within the arena.
"Shit!" Amon immediately let out a curse before dipping his head more on Luke's shoulder.
"Hmm...It seems you're not planned courteously greet your teacher. Then I can only do it in a brute way." Before the students understand what's happening, they see Teacher Gideon vanished from his current place, leaving only a plump of white light.
The advancement of the event dumbfounded luke. Just before, he noticed Amon's weird behaviour and the next moment. Teacher Gideon suddenly shouted the name of Amon. Is it the same Amon who seated beside him? Before he knew, Teacher Gideon suddenly disappeared from his place and appeared bizarrely behind him while holding Amon's ears.
'What the fuck is going on??' Everyone thought in unison.
"Ouch...Stop it, teacher." Amon cried out in pain during the time Gideon pulled his ears.
"Since you seem can't listen to teacher order, I think I should pull your ears a little harder to make your ears worked."
Amon's eyes widened in horror and hurriedly pleaded, "No, no, teacher, I was wrong. Please don't make my ears redder than it had."
"Hmph." Teacher Gideon snorted before releasing his fingers grip from Amon's ears.
Amon rubbed his reddish ears gently before realization dawned over him; he then immediately blurted out in shock, "Did you just use Flash Steps, teacher??"
Teacher Gideon didn't answer Amon's question and immediately handed him the Beam Saber, "Take this, we're gonna spar with each other. Make sure you perform well since there is a lot of audiences here."
"Me and you?" Amon said with a tone of horrifying.
"Relax, I'd fight you with only one hand." Teacher Gideon said grinningly.
"But our rank is a world apart," Amon grumbled in dissatisfaction but still obediently take the Beam Saber and walked forward.
"Is big brother Amon that close with Teacher Gideon?" Luke asked Tien, who was seated on the left side of him.
"They have a discipline-master relationship," Tien replied shortly.
"Oooh.."
Shortly after, Amon and Teacher Gideon faced each other, with each holding one saber. Same as before, on Teacher Gideon's side, a pure white light began shaping into blades, whereas Amon still concentrated on inserting his strength.
Just as everyone thought Amon would fail, a tiny flame start appeared on the Amon saber side. Slowly but surely, the tiny flame gradually becoming denser. And eventually, the initial tiny flame turned into a flame saber. The students who were seated on the front side instantaneously feel the temperature seems raised up.
"So, big brother Amon was an Elementalist User, more precisely a Flame Element User," Luke muttered in awe.
"Please go easy on me, teacher." Amon bowed slightly before straightening his back and began preparing his fighting stance.
Since there is no referee, and Gideon was obviously stronger than Amon. The one who should initiate the first attack was Amon, thus in no time, Amon starts rushing toward Gideon. While rushing, Amon purposely dragged his flame saber upon the ground to increase his momentum. Scorching marks began to appear whenever Amon saber passed by the ground.
"This kid really likes to show off," Gideon muttered before shaking his head helplessly at his discipline bad habit.
Amon dragged his flame saber and only stopped his action upon entering the distance of two meters away from Gideon. He then quickly raised his flame saber as if doing an upper slash.
*Swoosh*
As expected from Gideon, the moment Amon flame saber about to contact his body, he with ease moving his body backward, evading the flame saber. Amon didn't discourage and continue his attack by slashing his flame saber downward.
This time Gideon blocked his attack by his beam saber, which he held with his right hand only.
Soon after, both men start exchanging a few blows with their own unique blades. The onlooker was like witnessing a battle of radiance. On the one side was pure white light type, and the other side was fiery flame light.
In the middle of battling, Amon suddenly stomped his foot upon the ground and said in a low voice, "Fire Wall,"
In a second, the crowd could see a fire start spreading from Amon's foot and moving at a rapid pace toward Gideon. Since their distance was close enough, Gideon couldn't evade the technique and ended up trapped by it.
Amon didn't do as per crowd expected, which was supposed to continue to push his advantage by continuing his attack. Still, instead of resuming his attack, he retreated quite a distance. Just as the crowd were in a bewilderment state about what Amon planned to do, Amon abruptly jumped in the air, startling the crowd with his action.
"What is he doing?" Luke couldn't help but mumble in confusion.
Within a few seconds, Amon already in the air above Gideon's trapped position. He was then thrust his saber forward and start spinning his body along with his saber. His figure gradually grew blurry and became a somewhat meteor tornado.
The blazing meteor tornado starts descending like a falling meteor to the trapped Gideon.
The temperature around the arena gets increasing swiftly. Thus many students start retreated into the safe zone. Tien didn't move from his place and merely raised his thin palm. A snowflake emerged from that tiny palm of his and cooling down the affected burned area.
'One is a flame user, while the other one is an ice user. Aren't they supposed to hate each other because of their distinct ability? But in my eyes, they even look like a brother,' Luke silently mused.
Gideon didn't show any sign of nervousness despite being trapped. He glanced calmly yet proud at his discipline new technique.
'It seems he got another breakthrough this year. Even so, it's not easy to make me kneel on defeat.' Gideon thought silently before bending his right side of the body backward slightly. He is then promptly thrusting his sword forward in the direction of the falling meteor while chanting in a solemn voice, "Annihilator Ray."
As stated by its name, a ray of light comes out from the tip of Gideon saber. In a flash, that ray of light clashed against the fiery meteor tornado of Amon technique.
From the friction between the two techniques, instantly comes out a blinding radiance that the onlooker couldn't help but closed their eyes tightly.
The blinding radiance was lasting for a few seconds before replaced by a loud boom sound.
*BOOM*
