My Angel system-Chapter 62 Uproot The Tree

Michael's challenge was a fair one but most of them weren't confident they could beat him after seeing how easily and silently he had dealt with a demon the other day.

But Luis had also done the same thing and he did say the demons were the weakest.

While the students were thinking of accepting the challenge two people weren't exactly bothered.

The first was Luis, who just wanted to see how things would play out for now.

And then Silvia who believed their teachers weren't that strong if not they wouldn't be working here as teachers.

Without thinking twice about it she walked up to Michael and accepted his challenge.

"Just so you know, abilities aren't allowed either, this is to see how skilled and strong you are not to see how gifted you are." Michael made another thing clear but Silvia didn't seem to look bothered.

With everything set, the fight between Silvia and Michael was about to begin.

'Who do you think will win?' Ella asked Jasmine expecting that she should be able to sense their energy or something.

'Just watch, I think you'll learn something from this fight.'

The conditions for winning were simply to get your opponent to surrender or you could knock your opponent out.

The fight started with Henry acting as the coach, nobody told him to do it he just felt like doing it.

Silvia was being cautious as she tried to get near to Michael who wasn't moving at all.

Maybe if she was allowed to use her ability and weapon, she would have charged in and fought Michael head-on but right now she was very vulnerable.

"Stop acting like a cat and fight." Michael began with his taunting.

Silvia got closer for a punch which Michael parried away and took a few steps back.

He could have retaliated with a punch or kick but he didn't.

Silvia kicked up her gear as she began raining kicks and punches on Michael who appeared to be on the defensive but he wasn't moving much.

"Is she using her speed ability?" Dylan asked.

"I don't think so, I don't think you would be able to see her movements if she was," Luis said.

"That means her attacks are naturally fast," Ella said.

"You could say she's naturally fast," Luis said, observing the fight closely.

Seeing that attacking from the front wasn't making an effect, the wonder warrior jumped up and tried to do something she had been taught at home.

She jumped above Michael and tried to hook her legs around his neck, she succeeded but when she tried to pull the man down, she couldn't, the man wasn't even budging.

"One of the reasons for my training is to acquire great stamina," Michael said.

He pulled Silvia's legs off his neck and flung her to the side.

Getting up from the floor Silvia could feel a throbbing pain in her heart, it wasn't pain from the fight, no it was something else.

This was the second time she was feeling useless in a fight since coming to this academy, the first time being when she fought against the incubus-possessed man and now against this man which she thought was ordinary.

The real threat of the wonder warriors came from their three sets of abilities which they could use very well but apart from that they could be good fighters too when it came to physical combat.

That was why when Silvia came to Crockel Academy, she didn't think there would be many people that would be able to rival her strength but this fight was starting to give her second thoughts.

Silvia was the first to attack again as it didn't look like Michael was going to.

This time she went for a kick down the legs but Michael responded with his own kick and she was pushed back.

"I've played with you long enough, it's time to move on to the next person," Michael said.

Silvia had been trying to keep herself in check since the start of the match but Michael's taunting had finally gotten to her and she was going to let her wild side take over.

"I am not your toy!"

With this coming punch was all her anger and frustration and it was the only punch that was able to move Michael a bit, he would have taken quite the hit if he didn't block the punch with his arms.

"That punch was stronger than the others, but it leaves you open."

A strong kick was sent towards the wonder warrior's leg, she tried to keep standing but her stamina just wasn't enough to keep her standing as she fell with her back.

She tried to get up but before she could do that Michael had already placed his leg lightly on her body while looking down on her.

"I went easy on you because I don't really like hurting girls."

Even though she didn't outright surrender, everyone knew that Silvia had lost.

When Michael let go of her she walked past the others and went to sit on a bench at the far end of the room.

The next person to volunteer was the presumed referee who happened to not have done anything throughout the first fight.

Henry believed that with what he had seen, he would be able to win, but his expectations were cut short as Michael didn't even waste time, knocking him out cold.

Henry had given his all but a kick to the head was all that was needed to knock him into a state of unconsciousness.

Dylan seeing how these two people were defeated decided that he wasn't going to take the challenge.

What difference would it make to just go there and receive a beating?

Even Silvia who had beat him so easily wasn't able to take down their instructor.

The next person to step up was Monica, she didn't think she would be able to do anything to Michael but just wanted to test her strength compared to the others.

Monica was quite a good fighter as she appeared to be the most skilled of the two which had come before her.

"I see you already know some moves in martial arts," Michael said after she had jumped up and delivered a kick right to his side.

He wasn't able to avoid it but it was still nothing to him.

"My grandfather taught me some moves."

"Oh,"

It didn't take long before she started getting overwhelmed by Michael and eventually she gave up when Michael had his feet pointing towards her throat.

That would have been a deadly kick if he had let it go.

Now it was down to two people as Dylan had stated that he wouldn't be participating.

Ella looked at Luis who didn't seem to look too bothered and rather has his eyes on Henry who was still lying on the floor unconscious.

'My advice to you is to enhance your leg and hands.' Jasmine said as Ella walked up to Michael.

'And you think I'm not already aware of that.'

'I was just reminding you.'

'Thanks but I think you can be more useful.'

'How?'

'Can't you lend me some of your powers or something?'

'I don't think I can do that.'

'Thanks for nothing, Jasmine.'

'My pleasure.'

Ignoring the annoying being in her necklace Ella braced herself for the fight which she knew in more ways than one wasn't going to be an easy one.

Knowing that Michael wasn't going to attack first, Ella jumped towards Michael, he landed in front of him and sent a kick towards him, Michael was able to parry the kick.

That was all part of Ella's plans, distract him with the first kick and then go for his legs while he's off guard.

Her plan worked well but when she kicked Michael on his legs he had only responded with a little budge.

'How's that possible?'

Ella had used almost all of her ability points to deal that blow, but Michael was still.

'His stamina is unbelievable.'

'The stamina of a thick tree.' Jasmine said.

"I said you couldn't use your abilities," Michael said, looking down on Ella.

Ella had used her ability for two reasons, one was that her ability wasn't really noticeable as it was just an enhancement ability.

The second reason was that she believed that Michael didn't know what her ability was, but with what he was saying now, she knew she had thought wrong.

"There's no reason to continue with the fight since you have used your ability," Michael said.

Ella expected him to be mad at her after finding out, but he was still talking to her without showing any change in expression. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Ella walked back to her spot feeling ashamed of herself for using her ability.

'Don't be too hard on yourself, none of you can beat that human.' Jasmine tried to comfort Ella.

'Yeah, and I couldn't bring him down even with my ability.'

"I think it's down to you then," Michael said looking at Luis who had both his hands in his pocket.

Luis stepped forward and was ready to implement what he had observed from the other fights.
