My students will become the strongest.-Chapter 357 - 356 - Gloria vs Alena (2)

"I really want to compare Sister Gloria’s and Sister Alena’s power with students from other Academies.

I heard that both the Royal Academy and the White Tiger Academy are also preparing for the annual Warrior competition.

I wonder if they have students as talented as Sister Gloria and Sister Alena. I really want to see if those students can defeat them."

Jennifer suddenly asked. Aryan and the others were curious as well.

Among them, only Fiona had some information about students from other Academies. Unfortunately, she was unable to answer that question.

"I’m sorry to say I don’t know much about the other students. I wasn’t at the annual Warrior competition last year.

But I heard there are some students who can match Gloria, so no one really knows their true limits."

Fiona said with disappointment.

"I’m in the same boat. I missed last year’s competition because I fell ill and couldn’t even support Lara.

But we can watch last year’s matches, which at least gives us a general idea of their power.

One thing I’m sure of is Sister Gloria wouldn’t have any problem defeating them."

Everyone agreed with Fiona.

Back on the battlefield,

It had been twenty minutes since the third-year students began fighting. Both continued attacking each other. Gloria was holding back and not using her full power against Alena, whereas Alena was giving her all.

It was still as if one side of the battlefield was hot while the other side was freezing cold.

Suddenly, Gloria attacked Alena with water bullets. Each bullet had the power to pierce through solid concrete or tougher materials.

But hitting Alena was not easy, as she had created a barrier around herself—and it wasn’t a simple one.

It was a double barrier, surrounded by a layer of flame. She was even prepared to defend against Gloria’s ice beams.

Suddenly, Gloria disappeared from sight. This made Alena very alert. From which direction would Gloria strike?

Alena tried to sense her location but somehow felt her presence everywhere. This confused her completely.

Realizing the situation, she increased the power of her barrier. But don’t think she only knew how to defend.

She was also ready to counterattack. The layer of flame around her barrier began to intensify, covering the protective shield.

The temperature in the area rose rapidly.

Alena prepared herself to counterattack the moment she sensed Gloria’s presence.

Gloria finally appeared behind Alena and attacked with an ice beam. Like a rocket, the ice beam shot towards Alena.

Fortunately, despite the power gap, Alena sensed the incoming danger from her left side. She didn’t have to turn around; the next moment, a ray of fire shot in that direction.

"Boom!!!!!"

A powerful collision followed immediately.

This time, the force of the impact was enough to destroy the surrounding area.

Both the ice beam and the fire beam had the capability to destroy the battle ring.

As they collided, destruction spread around the battlefield.

The barrier around Alena disappeared, and she fully focused on her fire beam.

Suddenly, the fire beam developed a yellow line that began to grow and merge with the red core.

As expected, Alena increased the power behind the fire beam as much as possible.

The destructive force of her fire beam had already surpassed that of the ice beam.

Gloria suddenly realized her ice beam was being overwhelmed by the fire beam, and it wouldn’t be long until the fire beam struck her.

But was this going to be easy? More importantly, Gloria was not using her full power.

’Looks like I can’t hold out any longer. I have to go all out to defeat her, or I will lose.’

In the next moment, she channeled more spiritual energy and amplified her ice beam.

Just like the fire beam, the ice beam developed a sky-blue line which began to grow and merge into it.

"Boom!!!!"

Ten minutes later,

A powerful explosion shook the center of the battle ring. Both fighters were thrown backward by the blast.

Until now, the participants had held their ground. Even though Alena was struggling, she didn’t want to retreat. She was giving everything she had.

Alena felt utterly exhausted. For a moment, it seemed as if there was no strength left in her body. A wave of weakness swept over her.

She bit her lip.

’I’m not ready to give up! Get up!’

She screamed inside her mind, trying to stimulate her adrenaline.

She somehow managed to get up from the ground. Her body was screaming in pain, and her legs were trembling. But she still refused to give up.

Gloria also rose to her feet, and the two of them stared at each other. Determination burned in both their eyes.

Gloria showed no mocking expression. Instead, she appeared even more resolute to defeat Alena.

In the next moment, both fighters attacked again. Gloria formed an ice beam while Alena summoned a fire beam.

Once more, an explosion erupted in the center of the battle ring, creating a powerful shockwave.

Suddenly, someone was sent flying outside the battle ring and crashed onto the ground. It was Alena.

The strength she had mustered from her adrenaline rush was not enough to protect her. More importantly, she had already lost consciousness.

A heavy silence fell over the stadium. The crowd, who had been cheering for both warriors moments ago, was now completely silent.

The medical team rushed to both fighters immediately. Gloria was injured as well and needed care.

Not long after, the referee announced Gloria as the winner of the fight. Instantly, the entire stadium erupted into cheers and applause.

They were applauding not only for Gloria but also for Alena. Even the warriors from various associations and academies acknowledged Alena’s incredible determination.

Few possess such relentless willpower—to push themselves to injury just to keep fighting.

She was clearly exhausted and lacked the strength to continue, yet she refused to give up even in those dire circumstances.

Everybody has to acknowledge her determination. This also impressed many people as not many people have that kind of determination.
