Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Alexia

Right. So, I honestly forgot something.

I knew this battle would be an easy one. Just from how strong I've gotten over the time since the Reset. But something that didn't cross my mind is actually a very major detail.

Ethan is Tier 4.

I'm Tier 5.

And there is no way a Tier 4 could ever hold up to a Tier 5, much less one who is normally weaker than the other at the same Tier already.

So I find it to be a rather simple matter as I float here taking his breath attack to the face without so much as moving or feeling any pain. Simply because of the Tier difference between us along with my Quantum Adaptation skill having already adapted a decent chunk to his hellfrost.

After that happens, we both just kind of stand awkwardly in the arena with Ethan looking rather disappointed, and me wondering just what I should say.

Eventually I just tell him with a shrug, "You'll reach Tier 5 soon enough. I'll give you a rematch then."

He nods his head.

Then I blast a hole through his chest with a simple bolt of quantum energy I make through energy manipulation, leaving silence to spread throughout the entire stadium. A tense and deadly silence that completely stinks of fear from those watching.
