Chapter 319 Old Vs New! Who Is The Winner?
319 Old Vs New! Who Is The Winner?
On the other side, Ace Academy and Landon’s allies had started to fully engage in fights.
“Lucas, coward! How dare you show your face to me?”
“Rowan, you think you can win against me?”
Keiran and Maximus yelled at their former cla.s.smates. Lucas and Rowan were also one of the Top-10 students and had transferred to another school. They were also the ones who fought with Zero and Hiro at the beginning of school.
Keiran and Maximus were furious at Lucas and Rowan. Not only did they run away from Ace Academy, but they also dared to help their enemies. The act was like biting the hand that feeds you.
Similar scenes could be seen in many fights. Ace Academy partic.i.p.ants could see their former seniors among their enemies. Most of them were strong and famous at Ace Academy. However, unlike Keiran and Maximus, other partic.i.p.ants didn’t have much of a relationship with them and could not say anything to them. They just shared the same school and now they were enemies, nothing more and nothing less.
On the other hand, Ace Academy’s former third-years were full of emotion when battling with their juniors. Many of them had transferred to a different school because they knew that the seat for the tournament would be taken by their juniors.
And at the moment when they fought with their former juniors, they knew that their decision was correct. When fighting one-on-one, they stood no chance against their former juniors. They need help from their friends in order to fight Ace Academy partic.i.p.ants.
They felt more eager to defeat Ace Academy and show those people who would bad-mouth them, who were truly right and who were wrong. By defeating Ace Academy, they could show that their decision to transfer to another school was indeed a wise one.
.....
“Humph! Keiran, do you still think that you are better than me? Do you think that I will be scared of you?”
Lucas said. It was true that he was weaker than Kairan when he attended Ace Academy, but he no longer thought that was the case.
Firstly, he had trained hard and became stronger than when he was at Ace Academy.
Secondly, he had listened to his new school professor condemning and saying that Ace Academy’s teaching method was useless and would never be able to help the students become stronger.
Therefore, Lucas believes that Keiran would not have been able to get as strong as he has. He thought that he had already surpa.s.sed Keiran.
“Maximus, do you consider yourself invincible? You were never even at the top of our cla.s.s until we left. Now that you became the top of the cla.s.s, do you believe that you are undefeated? Haha… Maximus, today you will regret staying behind with Ace Academy.”
Rowan said while laughing. Maximus was second in ranking in their cla.s.s, however, Rowan was not scared. While he could not defeat him, Maximus also did not have an easier time defeating him at Ace Academy. In his opinion, he would not lose to Maximus or to the other partic.i.p.ants in the Ace Academy because of the advantage in numbers.
Explosions erupted everywhere as the battle began. As the battle progressed, the geography of that place rapidly changed. Trees and hills were slowly leveled and had started to become a place of destruction.
One thing that did manage to show in this entire battle was the power of Ace Academy. Most of the Ace Academy partic.i.p.ants were very strong. And even the strong opponents of Ace Academy were former Ace Academy students.
From this, it could be seen that Ace Academy was really a strong school. If the third year from Ace Academy didn’t transfer to another school, then Ace Academy would likely have no opponent in this tournament.
Anyway, Lucas and Rowan had really improved their skills from when they were at Ace Academy.
-CLASH! -CLANK!
Keiran and Maximus, however, were still stronger. Not only that, the difference in strength is much more than when they were in Ace Academy.
The reason was because unlike Lucas and Rowan, Maximus and Keiran had managed to reach Rank-C -. Lucas and Rowan were one of the strongest people in Rank-D + peak. However, no matter how powerful they were, it was still Rank-D which was one major realm below Maximus and Keiran.
Keiran and Maximus easily overpowered Lucas and Rowan. They were not even able to hold on for a minute before asking for support from their allies.
“How? How did they ascend to Rank-C? Just how did they do it.”
Lucas glared at Keiran. It was understandable for Maximus as he knew that he was already on the verge of breaking to Rank-C last year. However, he was surprised by Keiran who had also managed to ascend to Rank-C. Between the two of them, there was no big difference in talent and they had almost the same power.
There were also other students who ranked higher than Keiran that had transferred to different schools. But they were still stuck in Rank-D. The only person who ascended to Rank-C was Ren Dreyar.
Many cla.s.smates of Keiran were also shocked to find that she had managed to reach Rank-C so quickly. As a former Rank-5 member of Ace Academy, Grace Benett was jealous of Keiran for reaching Rank-C faster than her.
She was stronger and ranked higher than Keiran when they were back at Ace Academy. Now, Keiran had managed to surpa.s.s her completely and became Rank-C. She knew that she stood no chance against the current Keiran.
Nevertheless, the battle was not over yet. Since Keiran and Maximus were ranked Rank-C, 10 more students went to support Lucas and Rowan. They didn’t have Rank-C to send to Maximus and Keiran.
Their four Rank-C students were fighting Hiro while their other Rank-C was busy fighting Zion. In such a situation, the opponents could only increase the number of students who would challenge Maximus and Keiran.
With the addition of 10 students, they managed to keep up with Maximus and Keiran.
However, just when they thought that the danger was under control, multiple arrows made their way toward them.
-THAK! -THAK!
And each of them contained the power of Rank-C. The arrows were extremely difficult to dodge and blocking them was even more impossible. Even their strongest shield broke after receiving three of the arrows.
[ “Multiple Shot: Dazzling Light” ]
It was Sylvia who brought more destruction to the battlefield. There were no opponents at the moment who could stop her. Standing in the distance, she annihilated one enemy after another.
They already had a lot on their plate trying to contain Maximus and Keiran. Now, another Rank-C had joined the battle. And she was even more powerful than Maximus.
Landon’s allies experienced what it meant to go against Ace Academy.
6 Rank-C partic.i.p.ants with one Rank-B, who would have the power to go against such force? Even counting all the Rank-C in the tournament, it would not be more than 15. At least half of those Rank-C partic.i.p.ants belonged to Ace Academy. Who would dare to go against them?
Landon’s allies were fighting the battle extremely difficult even when they had an overwhelming advantage in numbers.
They were stunned by the number of Rank-C on the Ace Academy side.
