Chapter 41 Battle With Noah [Part 2]
"She said that Zen appeared on the Outlander continent with a S-Tier ship. That even she doesn't know how he was able to get."
"S Tier ship and Outlander continent? Usually only Magisters are able to acquire such a ship." Celestia was surprised, as even she, who was a princess of the Doomthorn family, could only get a B-tier ship. Let alone a whole S-tier? Where would she get such a ship?
"What was he doing on the Outlander continent? That's my question."
"My mother said that Zen went there to introduce a friend of his to be a disciple of an acquaintance of hers."
"Girl or boy?"
"Girl!" Fiona spoke with a slight anger in her tone.
"Wow, you and Daphne might have a new competition, huh?"
"Whatever!" she said, emphasizing her word.
"By the way, what are you going to do with that battle with Noah?" She asked with some slight worry in her tone. "You know, he pretty much carried his whole team at the evaluation. He is a tough one."
Hearing her words, Fiona just said, "So what? They fought against a weaker professor. Why would I be intimidated by him? He is also a Peak Intermediate like me. After hearing what he said about Zen, He deserves a beating from me."
Celestia nodded, agreeing with her words.
Celestia got up and went to look for books. So she could also start studying the recorded information about the Twilight Zone.
Once she found all the books she needed, She went back to where Fiona was sitting.
Both stayed in the library for about two hours before leaving. This is their daily routine for now in the academy.
====
Days went by fast, and the appointed date for the battle had arrived.
A multitude of students were visible in the grandstands, engaging in hushed conversations. There were first-year, second-year, third-year, and subsequent year students, and so forth. It can be confidently asserted that this battle has garnered the attention and participation of every student within the academy.
Celestia was also in the stands. Even Daphne, who did not liked going out, was here. She wanted Fiona to beat the living hell out of this guy.
Fiona had also arrived in the arena and was currently standing at the side of the field. "Where the f*ck is this guy?" she muttered, thinking that this Noah was really too arrogant. He is not even taking the battle seriously by not arriving early. "So infuriating! Who the hell does he think he is?"
While Fiona was waiting for Noah on the sidelines. More and more people were coming to the arena. They wanted to watch the show, as this was really an interesting turn of events. Two people with high status, both in A class, fighting one on one? This was simply a good show they did not want to miss.
Ultimately, in the midst of the discourse surrounding the battle, a distinguishable figure appeared, proceeding to enter the arena through the gateway.
It was none other than Noah, who arrived after an hour of waiting.
"I apologize, I am late," he said, yawning. "I overslept and almost forgot about the battle." His tone did not even sound apologetic at all but sounded more arrogant.
Fiona then walked to the center of the arena and stated, pointing her finger at him, "Cut the crap! Let us start." Noah then walked towards the center and took out his sword from his storage ring. "All right, since you're in a rush to lose so badly, I'll gladly fulfill your wish," he responded, making it sound like he had already won.
All the spectators eyes were glued to the arena stage as the battle started.
Fiona started the fight by launching an ice beam at Noah.
'slash'
Noah directly used his sword to slice the magic apart into two. After cutting the magic beam into two, he said, "Aren't you a fierce one? Is that all you got?"
She ignored his taunts and immediately sent another barrage of beams aimed at his head.
'Boom boom'
A furrowed brow could be seen on Noah's face, indicating his growing inability to fend off her unrelenting assault.
He deftly pierced the earth's surface with his sword, subsequently erecting a stone wall that effectively obstructed the incoming beams.
Following that, he used his aura to enhance his speed and attack power.
He jumped into the air and pushed forward while trying to cut down the series of beams being sent towards him.
He used his sword and slashed at Fiona downwards, but suddenly Fiona directly used her mystic field, restricting his movement.
Next, she also used her mana, enhancing her physique. She dashed towards him and focused all the mana that was used to strengthen her physique on her foot.
She kicked forward, trying to send him flying.
Noah effectively employed his sword as a means to parry the kick, exhibiting remarkable stability by maintaining his ground. He encountered a significant challenge as the impact of this kick was overwhelming heavy.
Noah exerted his entire physical power to forcefully propel Fiona in a backward direction using his sword.
After he pushed her back a bit, he proceeded to unleash a long-range attack in the form of a sword slice, empowered by his aura.
She used her skill, ice strike, to form an ice crystal wall in front of her. Which then blocked his sword aura attack.
She then formed another crystal wall behind her, using it as a foothold.
Then she pushed her foot off the crystal ice wall, and she rushed towards Noah again.
Noah saw this and could not help but be shocked by how she uniquely uses her skills. Her mana control was just as outstanding.
He brought his awareness back and prepared to block her attack.
This time Fiona used her mana to strengthen her fist and sent a punch to Noah.
He raised his sword in front of him like a shield to block the incoming attack.
Fiona's punch and Noah's sword directly collided. Noah's sword shook due to her strengthening her fist and combining it with a heavy punch.
He was able to block it, but he got a little bit injured in the process. He was surprised at how heavy her punch was.
He successfully deflected the attack, albeit sustaining injuries in the course of doing so. He found himself taken aback by the sheer force behind her punch.
Fiona can be said to have such an incredible delicate body, but her attacks were too fierce and heavy.
He doesn't get how Fiona trained her mana control and physique.
His arrogant attitude could no longer be seen on his face. Now there was a hint of anger and seriousness.
They then backed off from each other.
Seeing this, the spectators cheered. This fight was just too good. They were glad that they came to watch.
Daphne was also rejoicing in joy jumping up down in the stands. When she saw blood dripping out of the corner of his mouth.
Celestia observed the situation with composure and had long foreseen this outcome.
She was merely providing a gentle reassurance when they were in the library regarding Noah, and her level of concern was not particularly high. She possessed a firm belief in Fiona's abilities.
Fiona and Noah stood opposite of each other. "Is that all you got?! Right back at you," Fiona said, using the words he used earlier.
Hearing her words, Noah was infuriated. But he just stood silently. He raised his hand and wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. He also spit out the blood that was in his mouth on the ground.
"If that's all you've got, then You wouldn't even be close to an ant in front of Zen," she said in a mocking tone. "I don't even know where you got the courage to even challenge him. When you can't even beat me! You even dared to say you would trample him with your feet! I say you are dreaming or something is wrong with that brain of yours."
