Chapter 124: Bronze Division
AN: Changed the power of Alina to elemental summoning rather than illusion because there’s already someone else who does illusions better. As for Nathan’s kinetic abilities, it might be similar to Soren and Eleanor (puppet), but then again, all esper abilities are from the same source, as stated earlier in the story, so they aren’t that diverse.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The arena flared with energy as Nathan zigzagged toward Alina, his body jerking around sharply with each kinetic burst, like a human bullet bouncing off invisible walls.
His shoes left minor scorch marks where he landed, and even in his Bronze Division uniform, the speed of his motion was impressive, but Alina didn’t flinch.
Her phoenix projections roared forward, leaving golden trails as they tore through the air. One curved high, diving from above, while the other skimmed low to cut off Nathan’s escape.
From the Titanium platform’s area for important spectators, Maria Rosenthia tilted her head. "Such pretty birds. Can they cook meat too?"
"Projection-type elemental summons, they’re not physical, but they carry thermal force. She’s learned to bind heat signatures to light." Sophia explained idly.
"Not bad for Bronze," Kaizer murmured, eyes tracking the fight.
His telesthesia made every fluctuation of motion feel slow and obvious to him, but he respected the effort.
Back on the field, Nathan burst left and then right again, barely evading the twin flaming birds. His momentum was explosive but hard to stop since he skidded on landing, losing balance slightly.
Alina narrowed her eyes and took the chance by weaving another symbol then raising both hands.
