I did not waste any time and make my next move; my vines which had been fighting against the rapiers moved with the grace and flexibility of the snake and began to wrap around the Rapiers.

  The rapiers tried to move away, cut the vines, but that did not do anything. My vines effectively begin to wrap themselves against the rapiers without feeling much resistance.

  Hun!

  As my vines wrapping against Rapier, I sensed the Reagen coming toward me; her speed is very great, with her target being me.

  During the Rapier and Vines fights, she moved a few steps closer; though the distance was a meter, it is important as it will save us precious microseconds in reaching me.

  I let her come close to me, and when she was just five meters away from me, I made my move. The Rapier I was holding my hand flew away from my hand; it is a vine which I had shaped like a Rapier, and now it is moving toward Reagen with double speed than vines had every display.

  A surprise flashed across Reagens face before it disappeared, and deep calculating expressions appeared in eyes, thinking about whether to reveal more power or not.

  She decided in an instant and moved her sword; there is no increase in power or a new move; it looks like she had decided against revealing any more of her power.

  CLANG!

  Step Step

  Despite having less speed and strength than my Rapier, she managed to defend against it easily, though she had to take two steps back, and when she had just stabilized, she got another surprise.

  All the twelve of my vines came at her, her rapiers are still there, bound in the vines, but that did not affect the vines as they moved at her.

  CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG

  Reagen eyes hardened as she saw the vines and moved her sword, she did not use the extra bit of strength or technique, but she can still counter four of my vines before eight of them have bound her.

  They had bound her completely, except for her head, there is no part of her that is opened, even the Rapier that she is holding had been bound by my vines.

  "You lose unless you want to reveal more of your strength," I said to her with a smile, with her bound, even if she released her full power, she will still not able to get rid of my diamond vines; they are too strong for King to get rid of them.

  Reagen glared at me without saying anything that lasted for few seconds before she closed her eyes and took a deep breath; when she opened her eyes a second later, her eyes were calm again.

  "I accept defeat," she said; I could see sadness hidden in her eyes; she did not like losing, but if not for fear of revealing her strength to her future opponents, she would have fought against me with tooth and nail.

  "Next time when we meet Micheal, it will be you who will lose," she said as she shook my hand as she accepted her defeat gracefully before flying off the arena.

  "Micheal Zaar, Winner," announced, and the audience cheered, and their cheer is louder than when I won against Samual and Tyson.

  I did not respond; I just kept light smite on my face and flew down the ring and, minutes later, entered the box.

  Clap Clap Clap Clap

  I was again welcomed with claps, while others looked happy; Professor Jenkins and Professor Josephine had a different expression in their eyes.

  "It has been Eleven Hundred and Twenty years since someone from the academy managed to win all the fights of their group and entered Top 100," Professor Jenkins said in a slightly emotional voice.

  I couldn’t help but get surprised; I am not surprised about the only person academy who was able to defeat all in a group in the past thousand years; I know that I got surprised due to seeing a hint of emotions in Professor Jenkins’s voice.

  Professor Jenkins rarely shows her emotions, most of the time, her face remain blank, and her voice is without emotion; sometimes I wonder if she is practicing it intentionally, seeing half of the members of Council are like her and if nothing drastic happened, Professor Jenkins would also become Council Member within a decade.

  "Good duel," Elena said with a hint of sarcasm, "It would have been great if she had used all her strength to fight me," I said with a sigh.

  "Would you have revealed more strength if she had revealed all her strength or accepted a defeat?" Elena asked, and I smiled instead of answering.

  I was enjoying the fight too much, and despite telling myself of forfeiting, if I had revealed more power, I would have continued fighting, especially against Reagen; there are very few people like her in this Championship.

  "Would I be able to Win against her if I had fought her?" Elena said suddenly; I did not answer a question immediately.

  "You have great energy control, and with your full power, there are quite high chances you would be able to win against her," I said, hearing that beaming smile that appeared on Elina’s face.

  Elina had Phoenix Bloodline, and it is extremely powerful; if they both fight, Elina will not any problem defeating Reagen as long as she uses her full power.

  Elina is very powerful; with her strength, it would not be hard for her to win the last World Champion, but the participants of this Championship are too strong.

  Just to have a chance to enter Top 1o, she will have to fight with tooth and nail. There ’Monsters’ in the Championship, some of them have shown themselves while others are still hiding.

  All of it will be revealed when Championship reaches the Top 100, where losing a single battle means getting out of the Championship; everyone will fight with tooth and nail to advance ahead.
