Poison Eve
Chapter 46

Morfeous Academy, Illusion City…

The second day, the round of fifty battle, Evelyn still did not release any light techniques in order to reduce the risk of leaking all the techniques prepared for the top ten fight.

I didn't even manage to master twenty techniques, Evelyn thought. Better not get it out now!

"It's not fair!" lady Die protest at the academy representative. "He didn't use the light technique, wasn't that an insult to spiritual martial arts?"

"Spiritual battles aren't just about light techniques" the academy's representative said. "Spiritual elements are not just light. There is still air, water and fire. Everything that cannot be grasped is a spiritual element. Breathing techniques, concentration power, instinct, feeling, inner calm, also include spiritual battle techniques."

Lady Die was silent. All right, he thought cynically. A useless protective fairy indeed needs a convoluted hunch!

The third day, the round of thirty battle, Evelyn finally took out her protective fairy, but did not take out her spiritual chakra.

"Did he have a spiritual chakra or not?" the guardians began to wonder.

Xenephon smiled faintly. His gaze did not shift from the arena, acting as if it did not hear the conversation behind him. The children will protest if he takes out his chakra now, he said in his heart. Better to reduce the risk!

After entering the top ten round, it was certain that the remaining participants were the strongest fighters who had already mastered many techniques. That's why Evelyn just took out a protective fairy without a spiritual chakra.

The audience began to shout Evelyn beside those who were either dumbfounded or just plain whimpering and ridiculing the appearance of the prime protective fairy Evelyn.

"Finally out too" scorned some people.

"It turns out it's just sprouts!" the other timpal.

The others laughed out loud.

"What are you gonna do with those sprouts, Evelyn?" shouted a large tall participant like a goliath.

The other participants chuckled in response to the boy, except for Altair.

Altair stared sadly into the middle of the arena with his mouth clenched. His jaw tightened withstanding annoyance. Three days, he thought. Evelyn never lost. But they still haven't stopped underestimating it. He glanced at Xena Moz who was Evelyn's opponent this time.

Xena Moz had already taken out a chakra and brought up an eagle-shaped light image above her head.

Evelyn flicked her finger and in an instant the protective fairy turned into a whip.

The audience held their breath.

The judges gasped.

"Interesting!" comment from an aged jury. "It takes a high level of technique to do that!"

"Besides good control of course," another jury chimed in.

Xena nodded with worry. "You sure you don't want to use your chakras, Eve? My level is fifteen!" he tells.

Evelyn smiled faintly in response. "Then don't let me down" he said with a flat face.

"Alright," Xena smiled enthusiastically. Then it began to pierce towards Evelyn.

Evelyn jerked her crest on the floor, then catapulted her body and swept a twisting kick in the air.

Xena twisted her body in a salto motion and escaped Evelyn's kick.

THE BLASSSH!

Both landed across the street.

Xena's smile widened. Good, he thought excited. It turned out that he did not take this fight lightly.

Evelyn nodded briefly and smiled faintly. Good, he said in his heart. He didn't waste my fief moment taking out the protective elf.

"Just a useless protective fairy," muttered Lady Die as she leaned back and crossed her face with a lazy look. More sound to himself.

Master Lotz smiled wryly and shook his head at his side. "What problem do you have with Evelyn Katz?"

Lady Die glanced at the man half glancing. "Isn't that clear enough, he's never even warmed up, never got physical training. What do you think would make him worthy of the competition if it wasn't for him being the asset son of the owner of the academy? Don't you feel like a joke?"

"The fact is he survived to the top ten" said Master Lotz. "What's a joke?"

Lady Die bought it and closed her mouth.

Xena put up the horses again, taking out her chakra and protective fairy.

"Whoa—" one of the judges screeched. "This child has good control power," he commented in amazement.

Lady Die twirled her eyeballs with a stern look. Just like that? thought underestimated.

Evelyn and Xena nodded at the same time. Then simultaneously the two began to take a swing.

Xena catapulted her body into the air, then swooped towards Evelyn.

Evelyn swung her whimper into the air and snared next to the eagle's foot that floated in the air, along with that, Xena managed to ambush both of her shoulders and pushed Evelyn to a crouch and fall.

BRUK!

Both fell on the floor at the same time. Evelyn fell, while Xena knelt, holding Evelyn on top of her.

Evelyn jerked her cheers and threw Xena's eagle on the floor.

BRUK!

Xena slumped as if stepped on the nape of her neck with her face hitting the floor.

Evelyn screeched restrained. "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

"I'm okay!" xena replied half grimacingly. He pulled his face off the floor grimacing and rubbing his forehead. "I was just surprised" he confessed. Then he lifted his body off the floor.

Evelyn jumped to her feet and went back to prepare, then nodded towards Xena.

Xena put up the horses again, taking out the chakras and the protective fairy again. Then he put his foot on the floor.

GRAK!

His eagle wings flapped and stretched out on his back.

Evelyn rewinded her side of her foot and bent it slightly.

Then at the same time the two girls catapulted their bodies into the air and pounced on each other.

Evelyn flicked her shoulders to dodge Xena and twisted while swinging her crab towards Xena. The whip managed to catch Xena's waist and in an instant subdued her.

BRUISES!

Xena mired to the floor in the twists of the plant tendrils that continued to spread and tightened up to her neck.

Evelyn held.

The spectators once again simply gasped and held their breaths.

The judges stood up and clapped. The audience finally followed him.

The host floated to the center of the arena and landed in front of Xena, "Xena Moz, do you want to give up?"

Xena nodded quickly. His face was pale and sweaty.

"Fight over!" The host announced, then raised his palm towards Evelyn. "Asset Boy Nazareth Vox won by two points. One point for Kids Assets Dea Proka!"

The hall was thunderous by a standing ovation.

Lady Die squeezed on her seat with a frustrated look on her face.

Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief and pulled back her protective fairy, then walked towards Xena and bowed extending her hand to the girl.

Xena smiled and accepted Evelyn's helping hand, then stood up by holding onto Evelyn.

Altair jumped to his feet while patting his hands over his head.

Xenephon exchanged glances with Nyx Cornus.

"How did you do it?" Xena asked as she limped up the stairs to the bench supported by Evelyn. Her hand was on Evelyn's shoulder. "I mean, how could the vines be so pliable and hard at the same time?"

"I'll tell you that you're in the top five" Evelyn replied with a faint smile.

Xena glanced at him excitedly, then nodded quickly. "I'll try!" said. "I hope to see you again in the top five" he said.

Evelyn nodded back. "I'll try!"
