Chapter 45: Laura’s fight
The girl slapped her palms on the ground again and immediately used earth control. At the same time, her opponent had also completed the star pattern and was about to launch his spell.
But when everyone was expecting to see the girl defending and before the fire mage could call out his spell, the ground around him trembled violently as two large rock hands that were roughly shaped burst out from the ground and grabbed the body of the fire mage.
Everyone was shocked by this scene, including the fire mage who was grabbed. He could feel slight pain around his body where the rock hands had grabbed him, and he was unable to move. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the girl who was smirking at him.
At this moment, one of the two teachers appeared between them like a ghost and announced that the fight had ended. He announced the girl as the winner and asked both students to undo their spell and retreat their star pattern.
Although the fire mage was unwilling, he knew that he had indeed lost. If the fight was to continue, these rock hands would crush him faster than his spell would fly out.
The spectators also felt the same way, he had lost the moment those hands caught him.
The thing that confused everyone, however, was how the girl had managed to catch her opponent. The other party had made sure to stay five meters away but still got caught.
They could already guess that the range of the girl’s control wasn’t five meters, and her next words confirmed it!
After they stood up and were about to leave the ring, the girl turned to her opponent and said with a sweet smile that range of her control increases as she broke through the sub stages; her control was now at eight meters and had purposely waited for her opponent to get too close for him to escape even after realising it.
The field went into an uproar after hearing her explanation, and more people cheered for her while her opponent left with an angry face.
From where Alex was seated, he silently touched his cheek while thinking to himself. Although the fight between the students was boring to watch, he was at least learning about other elements.
