Chapter 189: Sol versus Georgia
“Good luck, Sol!”
Princess Liya cheered.
In the middle of the Oval Arena, Sol was standing in front of a female student. It was a challenge issued to her by a classmate.
Upon hearing the princess cheer, “Tsk!” Sol’s opponent clicked her tongue. “I’ll show you that you’re not worthy to be in her highness circle!” Declared the student with curly brown hair and squinted eyes.
Many students, boys, and girls were currently watching the duel that was about to start.
Sol gained a lot of hate from the other students in the female department. Most of them were envious of her.
Well, as a former beast, Sol had no indications towards it. For her, these people were petty creatures.
.....
Her enemy produced a whip. Then she covered it with purple magical energy.
Based on the density and amount of magical energy she was producing on the whip, everyone could tell that she was from a top-notch family.
Sol did not reply to her opponent’s declaration. She remained quiet while waiting for her opponent.
“My name is Georgia from the Emeraldhaze family! If I win, I will disallow you from coming near the princess!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSol’s enemy told her name. She narrowed her eyes after hearing it, but Sol did not show any reaction to her tranquil face.
Even though the other party’s name was quite famous. The Emeraldhaze family was one of the thirteen great families in the empire. So, the person in front of her had quite a reputation.
The arena glowed and the surrounding scenery greatly distorted. Now, they are standing on a concrete field. It was a circular stage. And around it was a deep cliff. Whoever fell will surely find themselves in a predicament.
Ting!
After hearing the high-pitched tone, the enemy rushed towards her while starting whipping.
“Yaaaaahh!”
A gleaming purple whip dances around Georgia. She was screaming as she was charging towards Sol.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sol hopped side by side to avoid the enemy’s attack.
Woah!
“Miss Georgia has taken the initiative!”
“Fufu, it won’t take long for the fight to end!”
“Go Miss Georgia!”
The spectators started showing their support to Georgia. Especially after showing his talent in wielding a whip. Whip could be said to be an unusual weapon especially for a person in Magical Academy. Most mages prepared rods or staves and orbs. Some used grimoires.
However, it all depends on the person. Although weapons give many benefits to their spells, not all mages are fond of using weapons, especially those very confident in their power.
In a duel, it was important to know the enemy’s rank because it had a big factor. A higher rank person also had higher attributes in all aspects. Be it in strength, speed, vitality, and etcetera.
But, there were also some cases where a higher rank was defeated by a lower rank. Especially because there were also people with unique abilities.
Thus, no matter how strong a person was, there was no definite outcome in a fight.
Aside from having unique abilities, there were also rare cases that a person was born with natural high attributes. These people were known as lucky-irregular or gifted people.
Meanwhile,
“Watch out!” Princess Liya shouted when she noticed Sol was almost on the edge of the stage.
Georgia’s whip attack was seemingly alive. Wherever Sol tried to go, the whip was already there cutting her escape route. It was fast and powerful. In everyone’s vision, it seemed like the whip had multiplied.
Princess Liya admired Sol’s tenacity. It was already admirable that she lasted this long against the whip attack of Georgia. Even the princess herself would eventually find it hard to evade all. Perhaps she would run away while raining long-range attacks if it was her who was dueling against Georgia.
She had no idea what stage Georgia’s breakthrough was. But if she made a guess based on the power of her attacks, it could be around stage 1 of Silver.
Most common people of their age were usually around stage 3-4 of Bronze. So being a freshman and already at the Silver stage was truly commendable. As expected of someone from the great noble family.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
Georgia’s relentless attack continued and Sol had no way to retaliate.
“It’s useless running away! Haha, now die!” A strong blurry attack was coming from all sides of Sol. Everyone already agreed that it was Georgia’s win.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd then, the attacks stopped an inch away from Sol.
That’s why everyone was stupefied when Sol suddenly appeared at the back of Georgia and gave her a strong chop attack on her back.
Georgia immediately lost consciousness and the battle was decided in an instance. Most of them believed that Georgia would win overwhelmingly. After all, she was from a great noble family. They had all the resources they needed to advance faster.
That’s why everyone was still gaping and could not believe the result.
Sol wiped the unfound sweat on her forehead while wearing a nonchalant face. The next second, the arena returned to normal. Georgia was now lying on the ground a few steps away from Sol.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
They heard clapping noises. When they glanced they saw the princess walking towards Sol, together with some other girls.
“Congrats, Sol!”
“I never thought you were this strong! Hehe!”
“That surprised me!”
Sol smiled and said thanks to them. “I, I was just lucky, Princess! Tehee!” She smiled while tucking out her tongue. It was unusual for her to do it, very far from the always serious face she had. Very out of her character. But, the lord, Eman, reminded her to act like a normal girl. And showed emotion when conversing with others. Therefore, she asked Little Sky about it. Thus, Little Sky suggested watching anime together with the other little kids in the Lord’s Domain. They were researching unique and cute reactions they could find in it. Then help Lady Sol in practicing.
Because of her gesture, she stole most of the male’s favor.
“C-Cute!”
Many of the men started admiring her. They were saying that she was cute, pretty, beautiful, and strong. Some were wondering if she was from a great noble family.
There were also others who wanted to get to know her, but since she was in the princess’s circle, no one dared to approach her.
Because of this, many female students started to harbor negative feelings towards her.
Since she could not enter the Lord’s Domain, she had to stay in a luxurious inn of the city. She gradually learned how to be a real human, be it in her actions or views of things around her.
