Celestial Bloodline

Kyle's next battle was with Lara, as usual, her gaze was cold when she stepped on the stage and looked at Kyle.

After getting the go signal from the referee, both of them attacked together.

As Kyle's mana was depleted due to casting 10 fireballs while fighting Mia, he was unable to use mana for a while.

That's why the moment the fight started Kyle wanted to decrease the distance between them, but Lara released two arrows directly aiming at Kyle's head.

Kyle had no choice but to retreat if he wanted to dodge the arrows because they were too fast and it seemed Lara coated them with mana.

The moment the arrows struck the ground a small crack formed in the middle of the stage.

Kyle looked at the crack while sweat trickled down his forehead.

'What's with her, did she just try to kill me?'

He gazed at Lara only to find her staring back at him with eyes saying,

'You can't defeat me.'

Kyle let out a dry laugh before looking at the referee who seemed to be enjoying the show.

'Dam it.'

After clenching the sword firmly he attacked once again this time his gaze was fixed on the arrows Lara released.

Dodging the arrows was hard but it was not impossible, but the problem was just like Lara Kyle's attack wasn't landing at her.

He had no choice but to run around in circles on the stage to avoid the arrows.

'Why is she so fast?'

After a few minutes, Kyle was finally able to land a hit on Lara but to his surprise, she blocked the sword with her bow before pushing Kyle back.

Lara looked at her hand holding the bow, it was trembling. Even though she blocked the sword the force behind Kyle's attack wasn't something to be scoffed off.

Their fight continued, no one was willing to admit defeat. The audience was now looking at the stage where Kyle and Lara were fighting.

Their fight truly turned fantastic when an arrow grazed Kyle's neck, if he hadn't evaded it on time maybe he would have gotten seriously injured.

Both Kyle and Lara looked at each other while breathing heavily, their fight was the longest fight of the finals.

Alec who was already done with his battles looked at Kyle with a grumpy face.

'Why didn't you fight with me.'

He was the only one Kyle didn't fight.

On the other hand, Kyle and Lara's fight reached its climax when Kyle used his sword Art. He wasn't going to use it against Lara but in the end, he had no choice but to use it.

After deflecting Lara's attack he jumped forward closing the distance between them in an instant and attacked. Lara was going to deflect the attack with her bow but the sword changed direction midway before sending her bow flying.

Due to the sudden force, Lara was unable to stand still. She fell on her butt and when she looked up Kyle's sword was just inches away from her neck.

After the referee gave the signal that Kyle won, Kyle removed his sword before asking Lara politely.

"Are you okay?"

He was not expecting any answers but to his surprise, Lara replied while staring directly at him.

"I am fine, but next time I won't lose."

Kyle smiled and got ahead of himself by offering Lara his hand so she could stand up, but the only thing he got in return was her gaze saying,

'Are you crazy?'

Taking his hand back awkwardly, Kyle gazed at the next person climbing the stage.

"Who is my next opponent."

Meanwhile, Lara stood up on her own and left the stage.

The moment Kyle saw his next opponent he had the urge to admit defeat because just now the fight with Lara made him exhausted.

His next opponent was Carcel who seemed to be looking at Kyle with a surprised expression, not just Carcel the others were also expressing different emotions seeing Kyle win so many battles against the students who were ranked higher than him.

After Carcel stood opposite Kyle the referee gave them the signal to start the fight.

The moment the fight started it was evident that Carcel had the upper hand. Kyle was exhausted but after the first few clashes, he started to decrease his movements to save his stamina.

As Kyle had fought with Carcel before he knew his fighting style that's why after the first few clashes he adjusted to his style.

Soon, it looked like both of them were equally matched. Shocking Carcel and the ones watching.

It was not even two weeks when Carcel last fought with Kyle, so how was it possible for him to improve this much in such a short time?

Carcel would be lying if he said that he wasn't having difficulty fending Kyle's attacks.

The most frustrating one was Kyle Art. It seemed Kyle's mastery of his Art had improved, because now Carcel was having difficulty whenever Kyle used the move 'Eliminate'.

Seeing an intense fight going on Professor Liam also left the stage he was in charge of, he looked at Kyle.

'To think he improved this much on his own.'

Not just Professor Liam, Nine who was just done with his fights looked at Kyle with shock.

'Thank god, I admit defeat.'

While he was looking at Kyle he felt someone standing near him cursing.

Nine turned around to see who it was and his shock increased, it was Alec! The person who always had a smile on his face. Why was he cursing?

Alec who just got angry because he was the only one Kyle didn't fight, saw Nine shocked face looking at him directly.

He hurriedly changed his annoyed face to a smile.

"I was talking to myself."

Nine smiled not wanting to offend Alec, he nodded his head hurriedly before looking away.

'I just changed my tattered clothes, I am not in the mood to get beaten up again.'

Meanwhile, on the stage after a while of fighting equally. Kyle started having difficulty. From the start he knew defeating Carcel would be hard but he didn't expect it to be this hard.

Sure he was able to equally match Carcel for six minutes but afterward Carcel started to take the upper hand again.

Soon, the fight came to an end. In the end, Kyle lost. He still needed to work a lot before he caught up to Alec and Carcel.
