Ivy lost instantly after losing two scores, she doesn't even get to the third part.
The crowd cheered for Faraday University, the difference in skill between Ivy and number three is obvious.
From the five seconds difference to the trembling elemental weapon.
Ivy was outclassed no matter the view, the usual smile on her face fades instantly.
It greatly affected the morale of Ochyra University, the other Ochyra University representatives started to get nervous themselves.
Hera bit her lips in worry, she then cheered from the side, "Stay focus, it's still the first one. Have faith in yourself"
She tried to at least keep the others from getting overwhelmed, it will be disastrous if it was to happen.
'If we want to win, the next round should be our overwhelming victory but how', Rex thought.
He then tried to ask the system about the elemental weapon,
<To make a strong Elemental Weapon, the user needs to match the behavior of the user's current element. For example, Earth Elementalist is best to create a shield compared to a weapon>
Reading this, Rex closes his eyes and tries to feel the Black Lightning.
The lightning mana is blitzing around his body, they're moving firmly and fast in the surrounding.
He then absorbs it and converts it into black lightning.
Instantly, the lightning mana that got converted into black lightning becomes chaotic.
Its behavior changed from a firm and fast into this fast and chaotic nature of lightning, they can't seem to stay in place.
'If the Black Lightning likes to move chaotically, then...', Rex opened his eyes.
His eyes are blitzing with black lightning, he smirked after he figured out what form he will take to create an Elemental Weapon.
The announcer called out the next pair,
It was number seven from Ochyra University and number eight from Faraday University.
Number seven got destroyed just the same by Faraday University making them win two consecutive rounds.
It was over in a flash, the speed was separated by more than eight seconds while the durability didn't even last for half a minute before number seven's elemental weapon got destroyed.
Number seven was blown away because of the explosion.
The medic team went in and checks number seven's wound, some of the wind mana from the explosion injured him.
After another loss for Ochyra University, the morale was on an all-time low.
Rosie was affected the most, she's turning paler and paler as time goes by.
Although Rex is the one who will determine her fate, her parents are watching and she didn't want to look bad.
Adhara notices this, just as she wanted to comfort Rosie who is really nervous for some reason her name suddenly got called.
"Number two from Ochyra University, and number five from Faraday University please step up"
The announcer called out Adhara and number five from Faraday University.
After dominating the selection tournament before, she manages to reach second place just under Rex giving her the number two spot.
Adhara calmly looks to her front, she looks serious while she walks forward.
A woman from the Faraday University representatives also walks forward, she has the classic arrogant look like the others.
The only thing that stands out from her is her big and muscular body, her body puts normal men to shame.
They both are a Fire Elementalist, it piqued Rex's attention.
"BEGIN!"
The announcer signals as they both instantly conjure their own elemental weapons, the both of them are a close match in terms of speed.
The crowd held their breath, they can feel the tension-filled air.
In under eight seconds, they both finished their elemental weapon.
Adhara creates a big battle-ax that makes the ground cracked because of its weight, while number five on the other hand creates a human-sized bow.
The juries held two Ochyra University's crest and one Faraday University crest.
Seeing this, the crowd roared in excitement.
Adhara helps move some of the crowd to their side, her performance is not in any way inferior to Faraday University's performance.
The other Ochyra University's representatives gasp in surprise, they didn't believe Adhara score 1.
The speed of making an Elemental Weapon is the hardest, so winning in that part is quite impressive for Adhara shocking many peoples.
"NICE!!", Tony clenched his hand in joy.
The neutral jury beside him chuckles while Faraday University's lecturer scoffed, "It's looking tight, I'm starting to think this is worth watching"
Tony laughs happily, "Of course, our students work hard for this"
Adhara also smiles after winning the first part, she looks at her hands in relief.
Number five from the sides got angry, she glances at Adhara and shouted, "Don't get cocky Ochyra brat, I'll obliterate you in the next one"
Hearing this, Adhara didn't reply or even glance back.
She just thought of it as a dog barking, she didn't give the slightest attention.
This act makes number five grind her teeth in anger, she's offended by Adhara's lack of respect for her.
They both then ready themselves for the second part,
The crowd quietened down, they even held their breath fearing they might disturb their focus.
ZONG!!
The same wave of vibration came from all sides attacking Adahra and number five, it creates somekind of distortion in the air around it making it shaky.
Upon getting hit by it, Adhara was shocked.
"Argh!", she grunted, the wave of vibration was heavier than what she expected.
The wave of vibration makes her fire battle-ax tremble, she can feel that the vibration this time got stronger.
Rex from the side frowns, he studied the vibration.
He can somewhat feel that the vibration is stronger than before, it almost got doubled from the one before.
'These people are cheating', Rex thought.
The wave of vibration on Ochyra University's side got stronger while Faraday University didn't.
Rex looks at his surrounding but was confused,
He can clearly feel the changes in the wave of vibration but the others seem to not feel the changes.
Even Hera who is inside the arena with them didn't notice these changes.
Rex tries to feel the wave of vibration and notices that it is not made by mana, it seems to be created by a device or some sort.
'They did something, if you're playing dirty then I won't hold back either', Rex thought.
He inspects the barrier separating the arena and notices that it is made by mana, which means someone created this.
'System, can you tell me what element that barrier made of'
<It is made of Mirror Water element, it is a Mid-Great Element>
Rex remembers that his black lightning can disturb someone's mana channeling, 'System, my black lightning is a Peak Great Element which means I can disturb that barrier right?'
<Yes>
Reading this, Rex smirked evilly.
Adhara is still lingering on with her fire battle-ax,
Her fire battle-ax started to tremble violently while number five is not even fazed by the wave of vibration.
Not long after, the wave stopped.
Adhara looks up to her trembling fire battle-ax before she glances at the juries,
The juries held three Faraday University crests after seeing number five's elemental weapon didn't even tremble, it was evident for them that Adhara's is weaker.
Adhara is angry, she can feel the changes but nobody said a thing.
Even Ochyra University's lecturers didn't say a thing, 'Didn't they felt that too? It's obvious the wave is stronger than before'
She then glances at Rex and saw him with a meaningful look.
Adhara gritted her teeth to try and calm down before the announcer settled the second part winner.
"The last part will be testing each elemental weapon's power, please hit the target in front of you", the announcer said.
The sand in front of Adhara got sucked under before a big dummy appeared.
It was almost the same as the dummy Rex used before but a little bit different, the one's now is way bigger and it is black in color.
After the dummy appeared, "Please number five, you can go first"
Hearing this, number five draws out her fire bows preparing to fire at the dummy in front of her.
She draws the fire strings as fire mana gathers on the bow creating an arrow made by mana.
SWOOSH!!
Number five let go of the strings as the fire arrow launches towards the dummy.
It burns everything on its path with fire,
Fire dances around the arrow turning it into a vortex of fire bolting towards the training dummy.
BOOM!
The arrow exploded upon hitting the dummy right on its body.
The crowd was jolted because of the sudden loud explosion, it makes them give more respect to these Awakened.
"577, Peak Rank Three", a mechanical sound was heard.
Hearing this, the crowd cheered for her.
Number five nodded her head confidently, it seems for a peak rank three that kind of score was impressive.
After number five finished, it was Adhara's turn.
She looks at the training dummy in front of her as she clenched the battle-ax.
Adhara's eyes glister with fire mana as the agility rune on her neck glows with a green hue, her uniform covered her neck but one can see a slightly green hue coming from her neck.
She then dashes forward with the battle-ax in hand.
The fiery battle-ax was dragged by her, scorching the sand in black.
Her movement was fast for a peak rank three,
The crowd can only see her shadow before she suddenly jumped with her battle-ax.
She then slashes down the battle-ax with all her might aiming at the dummy's body, the fiery battle-ax dazzled the crowd.
BOOM!!
An even bigger explosion was created, shockwaves breezes the arena as sands flew around.
Rex nodded his head, he knows that attack was a strong one.
Even the crowd can tell that Adhara's attack was definitely stronger as a mechanical sound echoes to the surrounding, "603, Peak Rank Three"
The crowd was silent, the mechanical voice still comes as a shock.
"The...the third bout winner!! Ochyra University!!", the announcer shouted after snapping out of his daze.
Hearing this, the crowd immediately roared with excitement.
"NICE! THERE'S A NEW UNIVERSITY IN TOWN!"
"WOOHOO!"
"HER BATTLE-AX IS SO COOL!"
"I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HER!"
The crowd sent praises towards Adhara, it was a direct morale boost for Ochyra University.
Even Tony and Adhara jumped in joy, they at least manage to get one.
Adhara heaved a heavy breath, she was also shocked herself.
She can't hold herself back as her head turns towards Rex's direction, there he saw Rex claps his hands in acknowledgment.
'She even manages to win despite the cheating, it seems making her one of my pack was not a mistake', Rex thought.
He was quite impressed by her performance,
Not only was she stronger, but she can also even win despite the cheating done by Faraday University.
The lecturers from Faraday University scoffed, their expression looks sour.
Even some of the higher-up in the third floor was shocked, to be beaten by a new university that didn't even have one year of history was a disgrace for them.
Number five walks back to her line with head down, she was ashamed.
Kevin approaches her, his hands suddenly burn with fire as he gripped number five's neck, "You pathetic, how dare you disgrace our university by losing"
The fire started to burn number five's neck, she was struggling fearfully.
"Kevin *Akh* I didn't mean *Akh* to do that", number five said strugglingly, the fire on Kevin's hand completely suppressed her fire.
Hearing this, Kevin slammed her to the ground before kicking her away, "Don't ever try to represent Faraday University again, you're not worthy enough", he said coldly.
Anger can be clearly seen on Kevin's face, he looks at Rex disdainfully.
The situation started to look better for him but suddenly this happened, boosting Ochyra University's morale.
'What a bunch of fools'
