Chapter 286: A Surprising Choice!

Bishop raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, “Which of you wants to go first?”
“I’ll go first!” Nat stepped forward and gestured to Benedict. “Thank you for your trouble, Senior Benedict.”
Initially, she wanted to spar with Gerard, the Yellow-Robed Holy Mage. Still, Benedict’s words sounded highly offensive to the first-year students, so she changed her mind at the last moment as she wanted to see just how capable Benedict was.
Since Nat was the first to stand out from the crowd, Benedict secretly admired her, ‘As expected of a Dragon Bloodline Warlock. She has a backbone!’
He had already prepared to fight two people alone but did not expect Nat to fight him one-on-one. He bowed to Nat and said, “Please,” as he gestured. Then he walked to the closest ring, and the others followed suit.
The 15-minute timer started, and Benedict did not waste any time. He shouted and quickly threw eight purple glass bottles. The bottles instantly exploded, and smoke spread across the ring.
“Nat, not only is his purple smoke poisonous, but it also has a numbing effect! Be careful!” Charlie immediately reminded her when he saw the purple smoke.
His elders had mentioned the purple smoke before, so he knew the potion’s powers. Once inhaled, one’s movements would become sluggish, and if one inhaled too much, one would faint or even hallucinate.
If the opponent’s spiritual power were potent enough, they would easily control the smoke, and there would be no chance for Nat to persevere.
Charlie already had a good impression of Nat, but he felt even more impressed when she was the first to go up against a senior. Hence, he immediately reminded Nat of the poison when he saw Benedict using such a powerful potion.
Whoosh, whoosh. Whoosh! Whoosh! Sofia raised four barriers around the ring. She did this because she was worried that Benedict’s purple smoke would spread too far and affect everyone else.
However, her casual move attracted the first-year students’ attention. Of course, that included Moss.”
‘So, Miss Sofia has awakened a profession related to space!’ Moss praised in his heart. Although he did not know what her rare profession was, he knew that any profession relating to space was legendary.
“That’s so cool!” Lila could not help but exclaim in surprise when she saw Sofia’s beautiful move.
Meanwhile, Nat did not panic, even though she was in danger. She only thanked Charlie for his reminder. Instead of retreating, she advanced and charged straight toward Benedict.
Some professors thought Nat was reckless when she covered her exposed skin and face in a layer of dragon scales. She looked like she was wearing a mask, looking very mighty.
Nat shouted and used her ultimate move, “Dragon Breath!”
With her current level, she knew she could not win a battle against Benedict, the Divine Alchemist. She only wanted to use Dragon Breath to affect Benedict to a certain extent to buy herself time. Then it would be easier for her to last 15-minutes.
Benedict dared not be negligent when he saw Nat using Dragon Breath from the get-go. He accelerated, sidestepped, turned around, and ran ten meters away from Nat.
Although his dodging speed was already swift, he still got slightly affected by Nat’s attack. It caused his right hand to become somewhat unresponsive.
‘The Dragon Breath’s bonus effect is impressive!’ Benedict praised inwardly.
Still, he was a level 39 Divine Alchemist. He used his left hand to quickly remove a pill from his pocket and put it in his mouth. After a while, he felt his right hand had improved significantly.
This series of events did not make him depressed—instead, it made him even more excited. A few dark blue glass bottles appeared in his hands, seemingly out of nowhere.
Before Nat could use Dragon Breath again, he accurately threw the bottles at Nat.
“That’s not good!” Charlie exclaimed from below the ring.
Bang!
However, the blue glass bottles had already exploded in front of Nat before he could finish. This time, the explosions were not a simple rupture. They were real explosions, like a bomb.
Although Nat’s reactions were quick, the glass shards and airwaves from the explosion caused her to take a few steps backward before she could stand still.
Moreover, it caused a few more scratches on her body because her dragon-scale armor was not high enough level. At that point, Nat changed her fighting strategy and used guerilla tactics.
With that, Benedict had an overall advantage. Even so, he could not defeat the swift Nat, who had dragon-scale armor.
Ring!
Benedict immediately stopped attacking when he heard the bell. He took out a few medicine bottles and sprinkled them around the ring. After a moment, the colorful smoke dispersed as if it was a magic trick.
“Nat wins. Who’s next?” Captain Bishop said calmly.
“I’ll do it! I will battle Senior Benedict!”
Everyone looked for who spoke and found that it was Noel.
‘He knows how to use the rules to his advantage.’ A hint of surprise flashed in Moss’s eyes, and he felt uncomfortable.
Although Noel had no problems doing this, Moss did not understand it. After all, Noel was the top scorer in the national college entrance exams, so he could fight any senior and last at least 15 minutes.
Still, he made such a decision. Besides Moss, the other probably did not expect Moss to make that choice.
However, making such a decision was wise if all he wanted to do was complete this sparring session and not get put on the observation list. The facts also proved that Noel’s choice was correct. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
As soon as he entered the ring, he took advantage of his speed, sword, and bone’s various forms to develop a variety of offenses and defenses. In addition, Benedict had just fought Nat, so he was a little tired.
Moreover, Noel learned of Benedict’s moves while he fought Nat. He even thought of ways to deal with them. Hence, he was much more relaxed than Nat when he fought Benedict, and it was easier for him to hold on for 15 minutes.
Maybe Lila did not like Noel’s methods, so she called Carolyn’s name when the bell rang at the end of Noel’s 15 minutes. Ultimately, she managed to hold on until the bell rang under her perseverance and hard work.
Everyone gave Lila warm applause as she staggered down the ring. Inspired by Lila, Charlie chose Gerard as his sparring partner.
He also used his impressive Gale Soul Cleaver, which he accompanied with his potential to hold on for 15 minutes. Everyone focused on Moss after Charlie dragged his tired body down the ring.
Before Charly got down from the ring entirely, Moss had already given his answer that no one had expected.
