Amon, The Legendary Overlord

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

When 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.

Unlike 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.

Ishmael 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.

A 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.

*Beng! Beng!*

Consecutively, 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.

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

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

The 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.

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

Some duels even caught the attention of the teachers.

"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.

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

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

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

As 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.

  To 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.

"I am you, you are me..." Ishmael recited a new spell even longer as he dodged.

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

*Pracc!*

The two spiral arrows caught Ishmael's shoulder and belly.

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

"Wow!"

"Unbelievable."

"That boy is talented too."

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

Ariel showed a little surprise, but it wasn't long before she smiled.

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

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

"Ahhh, measurement!"

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

Strongly biting his lips until he bled, he showed a sad expression, then he yelled, "I... I give up!"

[Winner, Ariel Abravanel!]

"Angry!"

"That was amazing!"

"Not bad at all."

Many applauded.

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

*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...!*

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

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

Barbara hugged Ariel saying how amazing she was.

Maisa and Julia weren't stingy with the praise either.

Ishmael 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.

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

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

"Poor thing, you made him cry." Barbara wrapped her arm around Ariel's neck as she laughed.

With a smirk, Ariel said, "If you want, you can go and comfort him."

Barbara was taken by surprise: "No, no, Amon is the only one I will comfort!"

"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?"

"..." Barbara broke her head, but could not see such a scenario.

Maisa and Julia laughed when they saw Barbara's confused look.

After a short exchange of words, they started walking.

"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.

"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."

"Is that so? So forget it~" Ariel smiled.

She 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.

"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."

"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.

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

"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.

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