nNormally, with nothing around, psychic gene holders were at a disadvantage in a fight.

nWhen the countdown ended, ‘pyrokinesis’, Ariel muttered in her mind, then she created two fireballs, one in each hand, and threw it using her full force, the fireball was very fast in Ishmael’s direction.

nUnlike normal elemental spells, Ariel didn’t need to recite long spells to conjure up the powers of her genes. That was one of the many advantages of the psychic gene.

nIshmael realized he wouldn’t be fast enough to dodge, even if he dodged, it wasn’t clear he would be able to escape, he was up against a psychic after all.

nA shield made of ice formed, it wasn’t very flashy as he used the most basic defense spell as he didn’t have time to cast a better defense spell.

n*Beng! Beng!*

nConsecutively, the fireballs hit the shield, the first time it was able to create cracks, thus making Ishmael use even more of his genetics to strengthen the shield and defend against the next fireball.

n“Phew…” A long and tired sigh escaped his mouth, even though he defended himself, he ended up wearing out a little.

nAriel saw this and smiled. Her smile was beautiful, but it chilled those who saw her.

nThe audience’s surprise could not be hidden. It was incredible that a rookie was already that strong. Many smiled as they waited to enjoy a good show. Others even whistled or clapped.

nDuels were common, and it was always good entertainment for college kids.

nSome duels even caught the attention of the teachers.

n“I command you, exercise my will…” At a rapid speed, Ishmael recited a spell. Spinning in the palm of his hands, two spiral-shaped arrows appeared.

nThe boy’s eyes were sharp, though he liked Ariel; he didn’t want to lose this duel.

n*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

nThe smile on Ariel’s face widened. It was as if she had been waiting for this.

nAs the spiral arrow headed towards her at high speed, she didn’t try to dodge it, but rather, she muttered ‘Telekinesis,’ soon the spiraling ice arrows were under her control.

nTo make matters worse, Ariel not only took control of the enemy attack, she also made it spin even faster and boosted using telekinesis to go towards Ishmael at speeds almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

n“I am you, you are me…” Ishmael recited a new spell even longer as he dodged.

nThe speed of the spiraling ice arrows was very fast, not long after he finished reciting the spell, the arrow had already reached him.

n*Pracc!*

nThe two spiral arrows caught Ishmael’s shoulder and belly.

nSome thought it was over, but in reality, what happened left many surprised.

n“Wow!”

n“Unbelievable.”

n“That boy is talented too.”

nWhat was caught by the attacks was an ice clone that shattered, then fell to the ground.

nAriel showed a little surprise, but it wasn’t long before she smiled.

nAlthough the boy was talented, it didn’t matter, he was already panting as he sweated heavily.

nVery quickly, Ariel launched two more fireballs towards Ishmael, but then, she created two more fireballs and launched it again and did it again.

n“Ahhh, measurement!”

nIshmael panicked. He’d experienced these fireballs before, if he couldn’t defend himself or dodge them, he wouldn’t come out with simple injuries.

nStrongly biting his lips until he bled, he showed a sad expression, then he yelled, “I… I give up!”

nWinner, Ariel Abravanel!

n“Angry!”

n“That was amazing!”

n“Not bad at all.”

nMany applauded.

nAriel smiled as she controlled the fireballs and launched them towards the sky, creating some fireworks.

n*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…!*

nThe audience liked it even more and the applause got louder.

nBy this point, Amon, Maisa, Julia, and Barbara had already appeared and arrived at Ariel’s side.

nBarbara hugged Ariel saying how amazing she was.

nMaisa and Julia weren’t stingy with the praise either.

nIshmael looked in Ariel’s direction, instantly felt his stomach turn; his chest felt like it was blocked by a cotton ball, choking him and making it difficult to breathe.

nFeeling downcast, he ran right after paying off the promised credits.

nThe way the boy looked depressed and ran off made Barbara laugh.

n“Poor thing, you made him cry.” Barbara wrapped her arm around Ariel’s neck as she laughed.

nWith a smirk, Ariel said, “If you want, you can go and comfort him.”

nBarbara was taken by surprise: “No, no, Amon is the only one I will comfort!”

n“Oh? But, can you see such a scenario?” Ariel continued smiling, “I mean, can you imagine a scenario where Amon will need you to comfort him?”

n“…” Barbara broke her head, but could not see such a scenario.

nMaisa and Julia laughed when they saw Barbara’s confused look.

nAfter a short exchange of words, they started walking.

n“By the way, I heard that there will be a theater not far away from where they will even use genetics, it might be interesting, let’s see?” Ariel asked. .𝘤𝑜𝑚

n“I’ve heard about that too, but…” Barbara said regretfully, “Looks like you need advance tickets, even if we were, we won’t be able to get into the theater.”

n“Is that so? So forget it~” Ariel smiled.

nShe only suggested it because she didn’t have anything better to do, but since it was so hard to get admission, she had no reason to work very hard to get tickets. Not least because she wasn’t really a theater fan, she just wanted entertainment for them to spend time together.

n“It’s still early.” Amon looked up to the sky and said slowly, “We haven’t explored the nearby city yet. Most of the time we spend at the university.”

n“It’s a good idea, shall we take a look? We can buy some things in town with our credit, now even Ariel is rich~” Julia said jokingly.

nAlthough Ariel gained some credits, it was still relatively little.

n“It’s a good idea, even if we didn’t buy anything, it would be nice to get to know the city.” Maisa’s eyes sparkled a little.

nHaving made up their minds, they enter the elevator and teleport to the university exit.
