My Soul card is a Reaper

Vann who was freed now started to fall. He wiped the blood and gazed at the water coldly before his attention was stolen by Leah's actions once again.

Using all her strength, Leah grabbed the sword vertically facing downwards and then, slashed the empty air, generating a huge arc made of purple energy.

Before his altitude dropped by 30-40 meters, the attack already reached him.

Looking at the incoming huge arc made of purple energy, he mumbled, "She's really a tough nut to crack."

As he isn't in a state to control his body in mid-air according to his will, he tried to defend by armoring himself with soul energy.

However, his energy armor couldn't block the attack completely and from the lower part of the right abdomen to the upper part of the left chest was cleanly cut as a result.

"Ugh…" Vann groaned in pain once again as the blood started to gush out from his chest.

Before he takes out the healing card to close up the wound, Izarok made her move once again.

"Soul skill: Water Golem."

As the Aqua girl raised her hand again, huge volumes of water rose up, making the water level down by half a foot and creating a three hundred feet Golem.

Vann's pupils dilated as a huge fist was thrown towards him. Getting hit by a solid punch, he crashed onto the barrier and fell on the water.

With his head smashed onto the sturdy barrier, Vann lost consciousness and just lie on the water and dyed his surroundings in blood.

Several spectators gasped in shock and stood up on their feet watching how their smiling goddess turned into a merciless cold-blooded Queen.

As Vann's life force appeared to be still strong while the Moon Academy's representative instructor didn't raise any white flag, the proctor didn't interfere in the battle and started the second timer.

The second timer will be initiated when either one of the sides will be unconscious or get trapped by a skill.

While the latter case will be given 5 minutes of time to free themselves, the former case will be given only 100 seconds to continue the battle, or else, it will be declared as their loss.

Watching the unconscious Vann and the pool of blood around him, Leah felt like it's a perfect time.

Taking out a mysterious skill card, she handed it to Aqua girl. "It's your turn."

The Aqua girl nodded and quickly collapsed back into the water. The moment the Aqua girl returned to her original form, the Golem also collapsed and generated a huge wave, sweeping unconscious Vann for a few meters.

Within this confusion, the card that was handed to the Aqua girl reappeared at the back of Vann and slowly merged into his body, creating a small diamond symbol on his back.

Soon, the water settled down and Leah continued to stare at him. Now that her objective is completed, she dismissed Izarok and calmly waited until the 100-second timer is over.

"100" "50" "20" "10" "5" "4" "3" "2" "1" 

*Ting*

The proctor announced the winner.

"Vann Hildegard is unable to continue. Leah Pendragon wins the finals."

All kinds of cheers and sighs erupted in the stadium. Some people are amazed while some fans of Vann thought that Leah was given a heavy advantage of the water habitat and others just sighed that they weren't able to see an intense battle.

After all, several of the spectators came from far away and also paid a hefty amount. It's obvious that they are disappointed to see such a one-sided quick battle…

Meanwhile, in one of the waiting rooms, Azzy and others were amazed to see how Leah turned around the battle with one move and then, defeated her opponent without even going all out.

Watching from the waiting room, Azzy doesn't know what that new Arcana's grade but still, he accepted that it was incredibly strong in the suitable environment.

Now, he was looking forward to sparring her during the summer where they will collectively raise their skills and then, go and kill their common enemy.

As the barrier was undone and the water habitat turned back to normal, the representative instructor carried Vann away to the infirmary and Leah exited the Arena, returning to her waiting room.

Even with a win, there was no smile on her face. Collapsing on the chair, she raised her fist with a smile, "the Tracking skill card is successfully applied. As a beast, he can't notice it and neither will show his bareback to others. All that's left is to take Azrael back with me to Camelot.Two birds with one stone, hehe..."

After a ten-minute break, the second finals started.

The fraternal twins of the current generation of the Ash clan's main branch entered the stadium walking at the same pace.

They were so synchronized that even their hand movements were exactly the same.

From the other side, Laura Drake and Izetta Smoke from Phoenix Academy stepped inside the field.

Once again the barrier was cast but this time, instead of water habitat, the match started with Ice habitat, which is a disadvantage to either of the teams.

Irene Ash summoned a gourd full of Ash while her brother summoned an Earth Golem beast that Aclein students were familiar with. Instructor Hermon who tests the newly joined kids also used the same.

Meanwhile, one of her opponents, Laura of the Phoenix Academy, true to her beauty, summoned a beautiful peacock while her teammate, the heir of the Smoke clan summoned a giant mushroom with a bright red cap adorned with large white spots.

"Wow, they look so beautiful and lovely." Several of the spectators who didn't have any idea about their characters were worried that this match will be over soon. Some little girls even closed their eyes not intending to see them being harmed.

However, soon, they realized that looks can be very deceiving.

Unlike its gentle appearance, the bluish-green peacock of Laura was too aggressive in its attacks. On the other hand, the beautiful-looking mushroom was highly toxic in nature that it slowly poisoned everything that touches it.

If the opponents were someone else with similar grade Arcana, Phoenix Academy would have won with ease but to their bad luck, it's the freaking twin duo of the Ash clan who could anticipate each other moves at any time without even talking to each other.

On top of that, Irene Ash's mastery over her Arcana was very high that she could practically turn it into that a hammer for attacking, although mostly uses as a wall for defending the attacks that are directed at themselves, and other times, uses its flexibility to block the movements of her opponents.

"Laura Drake and Izetta Smoke are unable to continue. Albin Ash and Irene Ash win the battle."

*Clap* *Clap*

"Okay kids, it's our turn," Sahara told everyone to get ready to leave for the field once their name is announced by the Proctor.

Azzy and others nodded in response.

"Azrael, you should be careful." The Vice Principal specifically warned him just in case she was worried about the possible assassination.

After listening to the opponent captain's words that implied that they have a solution to take care of Azzy, Sahara couldn't help but get worried. After all, Azzy was her husband's disciple. She couldn't face Barton if something happens to him in the finals.
