Chapitre 6: ELLIS VS ORION
"Kuhahah! Orion you have such a funny friend!"
This time instead of chuckling sir Ellis laughed with his guts bursting out. He also shed a slight number of tears after a hard laugh then continue to chuckle. But then it just fan Orion's annoyance and is currently giving me a deathly glare. I somehow avoided his wrath as the class has started soon.
In the afternoon I accompany sir Ellis and Orion to one of the school's practice rooms. Although it is called a room it is it is at least 10,000 squared meters and is covered by a powerful barrier using the latest technologist using the country's top technology-ability users. It can also be spectated from a safe distance from the monitor in another room which is where I resided now.
I already know that Orion is a great ability user with the best control of his ability he called [Everest] which allow him to generate and control ice freely, but from what I heard in the rumors, sir Ellis is even more terrifying. It is stated that his ability can be used in both healing and in battle, usually if you can do both your power will be intermediate at most but he is high level in both. And also, no one knows the root of his power as he never mentioned it even in his family.
As the battle starts Orion unleashed a wave of snow that engulfed the whole room in white, sir Ellis has been buried under the snow. But instead of declaring his win, Orion has become conscious of his surrounding and formed impales of ice around him for both offense and defense. I did not immediately saw its significance but soon a white orb appeared above the Orion. It is just as small as a fist but Orion deployed seven layers of Ice Barriers.
Ice Barrier is one of the Ice ability Orion uses, the shape and strength can be customized but now he uses layers of tetrahedron barriers wherein each one can disperse energy projectile attacks to the surroundings. Incidentally, the ability that was used to create the orb is one of sir Ellis' ability that lets him collect light and shoot it like a beam so it is more effective as Ice is practically a mirror.
Later the room has been filled with fog because of the collision of light and ice so I deployed the anti-smoke function of the room to devoid the fog but before the fog is sucked Orion absorbed compresses them over his head and creates hundreds of swords made of ice. It seems that Orion has decided that the match can be a battle of attrition or he must have used lots of energy already, I can say it because the technique he used by sucking the ice, water, and fog in the surrounding allows him to conserve his energy for long matches.
On the other hand, sir Ellis is solidifying light into pure energy and shape it into two swords. It seems that even he can't touch the pure energy and he is just fixed it afloat the back of his hand. The next showdown unbelievable, with just using the swords and not using other ability, sir Ellis destroyed all of the swords flying straight to him in all direction. He might look like a feeble young lady outside but the way he fights with the sword is just so manly facing the enemy straightforwardly.
"Fufufu, it seems like you being the number one in this academy is not just by chance after all. You can put up a good fight with a genius like me."
Sir Ellis is enjoying the fight. He is smiling even if he is sweating lots and took a great deal of minor injuries from the fragments of destroyed ice swords.
"Well, I shall accept your compliment."
Orion jumped back and created walls of ice to hinder sir Ellis' advancements. Sir Ellis, however, rushed in without a second thought. He destroyed the ice with his light sword and penetrate the defense of Orion but little did he know that it was a trap. Orion once used that to me but I repelled it because my fire ability is compatible in dealing with ice but his light ability can again be deflected by ice.
Just like being trapped in hall of mirrors, sir Ellis is surrounded by his natural enemy. His energetic laugh came to an end and his face is then filled with grin but it can still be seen that in his mind he is saying 'Oh no! this might be bad for me.' Orion can cast his ability almost instantly and the moment sir Ellis has been caught in the trap he will be delayed for at least a second which can be the deciding factor of the match.
"Not so bad Orion."
Orion has summoned thousands of ice-impales while afloat mid-air using an ice sheet as a platform.
"I'll end this here now!"
Declaring his victory Orion shoot out all of his impales. No matter how you look at it, it is too excessive against a single opponent. Sir Ellis gritted his teeth and create five layers of barrier made of light around him in a shape of hemisphere. His barrier seemed effective at first but with the almost unending barrage by Orion the five layers of barriers are successfully broken in less than a minute but in the same instance that the last barrier has been destroyed, sir Ellis jumped back and temporarily retreated.
"It seems that it is not my end yet huh."
Sir Ellis has been covered in wounds most of it is from the recent barrage of ice-impales but his confidence did not dwindle a tiny bit. Instead, his smile has been growing wilder.
"Well, you have also grown stronger. As I would expect to the heir of the Ellis Family."
The way they stare at each other with a grin on their faces states that they acknowledged the strength of the other. I believe that they see each other as rivals and are both trying to surpass the other.
