Chapter 56: There Are Levels To This
The battle between Victoria and Chieftain Amerika didn’t last long—barely a minute.
The other students were already shocked and bewildered that Victoria was fighting an instructor in the first place, but the result shocked them even more.
At first, the fight seemed evenly matched.
Chieftain Amerika, despite her age, was fast—blisteringly fast. She zipped through the air in unpredictable patterns, and most students couldn’t even track her movements. But Victoria could. Not only was she able to follow Chieftain Amerika, she kept up with her. No—she was faster.
When Chieftain Amerika vanished from sight, Victoria would appear behind her like a bolt of lightning.
No, not like a bolt—she was lightning. Each time she moved, thunder cracked in the air. And every time she pointed a finger, arcs of lightning shot out like a web, crackling with power.
But Chieftain Amerika’s energy-forged wings blocked each of those strikes, dispersing them harmlessly across her glowing feathers. She managed to grab Victoria once, but Victoria dissolved into sparks and reappeared behind her again.
Very quickly, the momentum shifted. Fatigue crept into Chieftain Amerika’s face, the strain clear to anyone watching. Victoria was overwhelming her.
Victory seemed certain for Victoria.
Then, without warning, Victoria was blasted backward—her body crashing into the side of a building. But before she could hit the pavement, Chieftain Amerika caught her.
"What... just happened?"
