End of the Battle Royal

Seeing Luke rushing figure, Alex swiftly pulled out another ball and threw it below Luke. Immediately, Luke feels immense pressure plunged down on him, forcing him to contact with the ground.

Even with Double Accel on, Luke couldn't evade the incoming attack.

"You should just stay on the ground" Alex bellowed as the pressure enveloped Luke grew stronger.

At this moment, Luke with a trembling hand managed to grasp Alex's figure from afar. With a shaky voice, Luke spoke, "Control."

A silvery-white layer began to emerge from the air around Alex. As they appeared, they started to entwine and formed a circular white thing. Afterward, Luke simply clenched his fist and murmured under his breath, "Crush!"

Alex, for the first time experiencing an ability that closes enough as his ability might. He felt his body crushed by an invincible power and hard enough to defend against. Beads of perspiration began formed and dropped on the ground while his feet were still firmly placed upon the ground. In contrast, Luke's shape was in more bad shape since he fought two opponents already. Clearly, at this engagement, the one who was at a disadvantage was Luke.

On the stadium seats, many audiences were astonished by what they saw. An A-Ranker fought evenly with an unfamiliar guy.

"Who is this guy? He can fight evenly with Alex!" One of the students mused surprisedly.

"Yeah, never saw him before. Could it be he's one of those so-called dark horses?"

The terms of dark horses on LSA wasn't unfamiliar. There are a lot of students who initially low-ranked, suddenly appeared a few months later or a year later with a power that surprisingly surpasses the other ranker.

"I doubt that. I think he's a freshman."

While some of the students began discussing Luke identity, Elder Wayne continued to stroke his beard while from the side Mister Braun couldn't help but commented, "Your academy really got a good seedling this time."

"What's so good about them? This old man could still beat them with my pinky." Elder Wayne snorted, but his lip involuntarily curled upward hearing the praise coming out from Mister Braun mouth.

"Tch, you stubborn old man. Even though you said that, your expression couldn't lie to me."

"What are the two of you fussing about? Why the two of you aren't curious about whether those two guys had the same ability? I noticed that Alex guy probably using some kind of ability related to gravity. Whereas his opponent seems also using gravity, but at the same time not. It's quite confusing." Madam Nicilia stated as she continued watching attentively at the match.

"Brother Lucas, how much time did you probably need to take to beat those guys." One of the students with long hair that came from Drofore Academy asked the guy beside him.

Lucas answered without turning his head, "Within ten seconds."

"Wow! As expected from Brother Lucas. You probably are the strongest student within this stadium." Upon saying that, he immediately feels many piercing glares directed over him. He turned sideways and got frightened in an instant upon seeing people from Flokyce Academy glared dagger at him like a group of hyena eyeing a piece of meat. How could he forget there's actually a person that could rival his brother Lucas power here??

With an awkward laugh, he quickly added, "Ah! My slip of the tongue, brother Lucas maybe one of the two strongest students that currently present on this stadium." Men must know how to advance and retreat!

Lucas didn't respond and merely focused his attention on the screen. While on the Flokyce Academy side, many women still angry about the guy from Drofore Academy earlier. One of the girls grumble unhappily, "How can that guy said that easily. Is he blind? How come he doesn't recognize sister Clara capability? I'd beat the shit out of him if not our position in an open space!"

"Why are you so agitated? Don't waste your breath for such a man. Just focus on the match, and you'd probably get something from it." Clara said indifferently as she repeatedly tapped her chin like pondering something.

The girl nodded her head obediently, "Yes, sister Clara."

"Looks like the winner would be soon decided" Clara mumbled under her breath.

On the screen, a scene where Luke and Alex in intense battle were shown. Everyone could discern from the screen that they were in a stalemate position in which no one gain advantages yet. Even so, the people that had better eyesight could spot Luke face was so pale, while Alex face still remained calm and only slightly pale. It was obvious Luke is the one who is losing at this exchange of ability.

As the countdown almost reached its end, Luke stance finally crumbled down as he began collapsed on the ground. With his skill deactivated, Alex pressure finally lifted. He glanced coldly at Luke and spoke, "You're strong, I admit that. But it's unfortunate, the one who you against is me! Alex Typhon!"

Alex start dragged his own body onto Luke collapsed body. When his hand about to pluck out Luke's badge, their respective badges start emitted a light. Next, a voice suddenly sounded in the forest, "Battle Royal has ended. The quota of 64 participants has been achieved."

"Congratulation, for all participants who remain standing now."

"All participants would be teleported in short a while."

Alex stopped his action and quipped, "It seems today is your lucky day. "

Luke couldn't understand what's happening since his mind already blackened out the moment he collapsed. He only felt his body is so sore and wanted to sleep so badly. Thus, he didn't care anymore about the battle and simply let himself being lullabied into dreamland.
