Chapter 166: Nadia Alneith [1]
***
Amon returned to the stadium after 2 hours.
'Fuck.' He cursed due to his lateness.
The group had held him for so long that he had no choice but to relent.
And in that walking around, he had missed the Klein VS Adam match.
Even though he already knew the results, it would have still been better to see their interactions.
'Whatever, I guess I know the winner at least.' He could only shrug it off.
As for the winner, he knew it was Adam.
It would be a close call, but Adam would have won.
At least that's what should have been.
He was a little unsure because he had just witnessed a plot change an hour ago.
And it was in the matchups of other stadiums.
Elizabeth, who was supposed to be paired with Charlotte, was now up against Liliana in the next match.
And Alya was against Charlotte.
And finally, Ren against Michael.
Though, Amon wasn't against it.
He was grateful that Elizabeth was against Liliana.
Because he knew that mid-terms were the best chance to fix that shitty bitch Liliana.
And the best way to fix that pride of hers was to break her down.
To crush and build her back up.
This was why he asked Elizabeth to defeat her in the most humiliating way possible.
Elizabeth had some questions for him, but she eventually decided to do it when he told her to trust him.
As for Alya and Charlotte, even though Alya was stronger, in a clean and wide stadium, it was evident that Alya had a big disadvantage.
She had no obstacles or things to utilize.
Which was why he was betting on Charlotte to win.
However if there was one thing that might help Alya win, it was her familiar.
She could use it for aerial advantage.
But then again, there was Charlotte's familiar as well so he didn't know.
Then there was Ren and Michael.
If he had to be honest, Ren was considered one of the weakest characters in a 1v1.
But only in the early stages of the novel.
Because if you looked at it, for him to use an element, he had to touch the person.
And if the opponent didn't let him do that, then Ren was nothing but useless.
Sure, there was his element-storing ability.
But that's why he was weak in the early stages. He could only hold those elements for 7 minutes.
So if you were able to hold out for 7 minutes, then Ren was done for again.
Though, just like Alya, there was still his familiar.
It was a familiar that even Amon didn't know anything about since it wasn't showcased explicitly in the novel.
But it was stated that after Michael, Ren had the most formidable familiar.
However, if Amon had to pick a winner, it would undoubtedly be Michael.
Just him being the MC was enough of a reason to shut down the whole comparison.
Coming back to the present, Amon sighed in relief once more at their matchups being the
same.
Since Adam won against Klein, he had proceeded to the finals of the Stadium.
Which left one final match between Amon and Nadia.
And whoever won would proceed to the finals, considering the third match had ended in a draw.
A draw meant that both participants would be eliminated.
As he stepped out of the hallway into the stadium, a wave of cheers erupted throughout the arena again.
It was kind of unreal for Amon, who had never gotten this kind of attention in his past life.
But now, everyone's focus was on him.
Walking up the stairs, Amon finally saw her.
Nadia Alneith.
With extended black hair that cascaded down her shoulders to her waist and oceanic sea blue
eyes, she stared at him with pride-filled eyes.
In a way, she wasn't that different from Liliana in some minor ways.
But at the same time, her personality was much better.
Both of them had pride, but Nadia's pride was more of a competitive and rival pride.
And Liliana's pride was based on other people's lineage and their power.
Obviously, the former was much better and bearable.
Coming before her, she smiled at him, in a cocking way.
"You don't look strong." She said.
But just like always, Amon kept silent to her provocations.
For him, it was better to shut them up with a slap rather than yap.
He looked at the referee and the latter nodded back.
He was probably used to the silence by now.
"And now, the final match of round 2, the match that would decide the second finalist for this
stadium, will begin!" He roared.
"The match between Nadia Alneith and Amon Ashford will beginnnn.."
"NOW!" He brought his hand down before taking a step back.
Nadia, seemingly wanting to end this quickly, waved her hand.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
And immediately, a celestial glitter started to appear wherever her hand went.
Energy element...
It was one of the most formidable elements out there.
And Nadia Alneith, the 8th ranked first year would become a monster in the future with this.
If fire and water elements were converted into the respective elemental mana from pure
mana.
Then Energy was actually made out of pure mana.
There was no elemental mana in its case.
But here was the twist.
Using the Energy element, you could form different elemental manas.
In simpler words, you could use different elements.
But of course, there were limitations to this.
One, it consumed a large portion of your mana just trying to convert energy into a respective
element's mana.
This was why at the starting stages, an Energy clovist would automatically be considered the
weakest by the society.
They couldn't even fight properly in the starting ranks.
Due to this, most of the energy clovists already gave up on a fighting path, choosing to go
towards the social sector instead.
And the second was the conversion rate.
Every element had a different conversion rate on how much energy they would consume.
Fire being the easiest out of primordial elements and Earth being the hardest.
They couldn't form Derivant elements though. This was another limitation.
If you were a normal energy clovist with average talent, you would only be able to convert one
element per 2 ranks.
In simpler words, it meant that you could only convert into Fire in the 2nd order and then
water in the 4th order, and so on.
But of course, that was for an average talent.
For Nadia...
It was completely different.
All because of her mana capacity and power. They were so high that she was able to convert 2
elements already in the 2nd order.
She was considered once in a century genius among the Alneiths.
3 Chaps done today because the second chapter of yesterday wasn't uploaded.
