Chapter 184: Not qualified to be a clone.
More than 20 students challenged themselves to a rank battle. 2 members of the top 10 were challenged, while 2 members of the top 15 were being challenged.
The classroom had become rowdy due to the hype that came with the challenges, but Blake and Luciano didn\'t care much about them.
"Castiel challenged the rank 12, will you be spectating?" Luciano asked as they watched the students proceeding to the battleground.
"Wasn\'t planning to, but since Castiel is involved then I will go watch. Besides, it will be nice to see how strong they have become." Blake said.
…
The moment Professor Tacitus stepped into his office, his ring began glowing. It was a call from the school\'s administration department.
"Professor Tacitus here…" He took a seat before answering the call, but soon his facial expression changed to that of anger.
"I just finished with my class, why should I be the one to officiate a match?" Professor Tacitus tried as much as possible to contain his anger.
"We have received more than 50 challenges from both the normal and elite class. Every free and capable staff are meant to report to the battlegrounds." Immediately the staff was done with the explanation the call was terminated.
*Sigh*
Professor Tacitus helplessly sighed as he cursed his bad luck.
Due to the number of students being greater than officials, they were divided into 2 batches with the elite class being prioritized.
"This should be interesting…" Blake thought as he saw 4 interesting matches.
The first was rank 8 Ansgar vs rank 11 Vlad.
The second was rank 10 Layla vs rank 13 Calvin.
Third was rank 12 Nick vs rank 22 Castiel
fourth was rank 14 marcel vs rank 23 Kade
All the matches began at the same time, but due to him having only 2 eyes he could only watch 1 at a time.
At Castiel\'s battleground, the match was signaled to start, but his opponent wasn\'t showing any signs of moving, so he decided to go to him.
\'Let\'s end this quickly.\' Castiel thought as his body burst into flames.
Dashing forward, he used short flame bursts to quickly cover the distance between them and when he was in range, 5 ethereal tendrils emerged from his back, but he was quickly assaulted by earth pillars.
BOOM!
A dome of flames burst out, breaking the pillars and inching him closer to Nick, but before the tendrils could get in contact with its target, a burst of wind was sent out by Nick.
"No, you won\'t." Knowing full well that he would lose a ranged fight, Castiel had no intentions of getting knocked back.
Out of nowhere, the black ethereal tendrils hardened and 2 dug into the ground behind him giving him more stability, while the other 3 tendrils pierce through the wind.
"What the?!" Calvin along with many spectators was shocked by Castiel\'s move, but he quickly recovered when he saw Castiel approaching him.
Wind Domain!
A wind dome covering 10 meters appeared and the area within the dome became windy. The wind domain amplified wind spells and also increased the attack range of the caster, but even after knowing this, Castiel remained unfazed.
Night mist!
Dark gaseous mists began coming out of Castiel and filling the dome.
\'What is happening?\' Calvin furrowed his brows when he saw the rate at which the mist was spreading, but the worst part was that he couldn\'t sense Castiel.
The darkness element was the second most rare element and because of that, not many knew about its abilities or how to counter them.
The night mist is an area of effect spell that greatly increased the speed of the caster within the spell and drained the mana of anything within.
The rate at which it drained mana was dependent on the distance between the caster and the particular area.
Wind vortex!
With the amplifying effects of the wind dome, multiple wind vortexes appeared sucking at the black mists.
At first, it started pretty well as the mists were being drawn to the vortexes, but as time went on they were turning sluggish and it didn\'t take long before they disappeared.
"Shit!" Calvin cursed as he thought of how to get out of this tight spot.
Not only had his wind element been rendered useless, but he had no idea of Castiel\'s location to even attack with the earth element.
This left him with only one option, to hole himself in a dome.
Earth eruption!
At his command, a dome of earth erupted from below, but before they could cover him, a golden dome protected his head from Castiel\'s hardened dark tendrils.
Ding!
"Winner Castiel!" With the activation of the badge, Castiel was declared the winner.
"That was short but interesting." Blake said and Luciano nodded in agreement.
\'That confirms our suspicion.\' Blake said to the system.
When everyone was shocked about Castiel\'s powers, Luciano didn\'t show any form of surprise meaning he already knew about the abilities.
This also meant that the royal family most likely knew every all the elements and that included their weakness.
"Let\'s see how she is doing." They turned their attention to Layla\'s fight but that was when Vlad was announced the winner.
"Well, that\'s surprising…" Blake said.
"It isn\'t. Vlad had always been strong it\'s just that he has been distracted by a lot of things." Luciano said with an indifferent look on his face.
"What is he doing?" Blake had a puzzled look on his face when he saw Vlad looking at him and mouthing some words.
"I am coming for you." Vlad mouthed but this made Blake burst out in laughter, causing him to be pissed off.
"Unsurprisingly, he remained dumb." Luciano shook his head.
Vlad awakened the same elements as Blake and when comparing each other, Vlad wasn\'t even qualified to be called Blake\'s clone.
