Multi-Gene

Paul drifted a few meters backwards, dragging a deep line on the hard concrete while Phyllida used her motion technique to negate the blast, her image flickering in and out at different places in a zigzag direction.

A satisfied smile graced Paul's face and he spoke his first words since the start of the match. "That was satisfying."

Phyllida also smiled but although she looked as though she was satisfied, a deep hunger could be seen in face. It was obvious she wasn't all that satisfied and needed to fight more.

But then, Paul opened his mouth and continued. "But its a pity things have end this early." he seem quite regretful about it as he shook his head softly. 

With a soft tone, he rumbled. "Three-Fold Overlay!" An explosive wave of power erupted from within Paul's body that rumbled like thunder! 

However, at this instant, Paul's energy ripples seemed to undergo a mysterious transformation; what appeared to be a whirlpool, which had been accumulating strength for a very long time, blasting out in a flash! Something akin to a massive tsunami! 

A massive power burst out from Paul's body, his strength compounding into layers, appearing as though there were no limits to its strength. 

His muscles bulged and thick veins appeared all over his body like some sort of web cracks all over his skin.

This instantly made David's eyes narrow into slit upon watching the incredible scene. He almost couldn't believe what he was seeing. 

The audience were shocked once again. Paul was more like a freak! His strength had doubled the previous time and had almost split the battle stage into two. But now, his strength had increased by three folds with his combat technique. What was more astonishing was the fact that he hadn't activated any of his gene yet and his strength was already enough to suffocate the audience. 

What if he activated his gene, how strong would he become by then? One couldn't imagine how that powerful he would become. 

On the battle stage Phyllida's eyes opened wide and her figure drifted a few meters backwards to evade the massive blast of power. Sparks of electricity flowed in her eyes when she gazed at Paul.

"You are really strong I will give you that. Would have definitely been defeated by you for sure if I wasn't careful enough."

This instantly made Paul and the audience confused. He obviously had the advantage at this point and if he were to attack, he wound require at most three attacks to finish off Phyllida with his strength. 

Still confused, Paul opened his mouth to talk to ask "You haven't won y-eeeet."

He noticed his voice was a bit slurry at the end. He frowned softly but didn't think to much of it. 

Phyllida smiled and then withdrew from her battle stance. "You are a little naive. Well, let me explain it to you. While we were fighting, I was releasing a bit of uhm, you can call it a paralysing agent through my well, through every part of my body and you were absorbing them as you block, dodge or counterattack."

This immediately made Paul's eyes widened and he wanted to say something but he could barely open his mouth to talk and could barely feel his muscles. 

"Now, a Mammoth would have been knocked out cold by the amount of paralysing agents I've released but you, with your strength, I'm guessing it would last for 30 seconds or maybe less or more. But I can't afford to risk it so..."

In a flash, she disappeared from her previous position and as she was running, a sharp short sword formed in her hands and she pointed it at Paul's neck. Clean and smooth. 

Paul stood still his neck stretched as the sword touched his throat. His muscles twitched as he wanted to do something to evade but the toxin in his body seem to be too strong as his body was still paralysed. His eyes was clearly not happy as he gazed at Phyllida with an expression similar to that of a wounded dog. 

Unable to bare it, Phyllida looked away. And removed her sword as the result of the match had been concluded. 

She then turned to walk back towards the Class 12 stand. David gazed at her with a raised eyebrow but refused to comment on behaviour. It was obvious she was feeling kind of bad?

As she sat down on her seat, she turned towards David and her lips moved. "Nice strategy." then she gazed towards Paul. He had already started moving by then and only about 15 seconds had passed. Her lips curled up into a smirk as she said. "I guess it's less then."

David watched as Paul walked back to the stand with a downcast expression. And although he hadn't won the match, the crowd erupted into cheers as they shouted his name. 

"Paul! Paul!! Paul!!!"

He was a dark horse! And he would have won if he was a little bit more careful but that didn't matter, what matters is that Class 15 now had someone who was so strong that he might even be able to rival Class One Co-Captain with his strength alone not to talk of of he activated his gene. 

As the crowds roared his name, different professors discussed amongst themselves about the new dark horse named Paul and also Phyllida for her sharp mind and schemes. 

But then, the match still had to go on. The stage rumbled as the ground opened up and the broken stage descended to the ground. With a loud humming sound, a newly neat and unbroken battle stage rose up from the ground to replace the old one. 

An hour later, Class 12 gained another point making three points as Divos crushed his opponent with his Flood Dragon fire moves. 

And finally, it was David's turn to fight. This time, instructor Aella eyes flashed with a brilliant radiance. While the others had no hope in the battle at all since the opponent David was about to battle was the captain of Class One team... LIRA!
