After the end of the quarter-finals, the semi-finals were soon to start. Of course, it was supposed to be held the next day, however, since the previous battles ended too early, there was more than enough time to conduct the rest of the matches.


    Surely enough, all the battles till now were thrilling. Though there were some expected oues, there were some cases where the match went out of hand too.


    Regardless, four ns qualified for the semi-finals: White Wolf Warriors, Lou Shin, Heavenly Monkeys, and Fang.


    Lou Shin n was matched up against White wolf warriors and Heavenly Monkeys had to battle Fang n.


    The audience couldn''t wait for the semi-finals to begin. Everyone was impatient and couldn''t wait for the 1-hour break to be over.


    Soon enough, the break was over and everyone returned to their seats. There were many who didn''t even leave their seats, in anticipation of the matches. But there were many, that went and bet upon the teams.


    The first match was between the White wolf warriors and Lou Shin n.


    As soon as Reosan announced, all those who had yet to arrive at the stadium and take their seats, rushed with all their might, causing a lot of uproars.


    By no means could they miss this match.


    Both the n entered the arena due to which anxiety in the audience increased.


    "It''s been long, Siara...", Shin looked at Siara as he asked this using his telepathy.


    He then walked close to her before any further announcement was made.


    The members of Shin''s n, especially Ae, all stood behind him. Ae was the most excited one to meet her mother, but she had to stay behind when Shin mentioned about exchanging a few words with Siara.


    They hadn''t got the chance to meet earlier.


    "Yes, master Shin…", she said as she bowed her head a bit.


    Her eyes still seemed dead, even after meeting Shin. Well, she wasn''t even surprised when she saw Shin.


    That was because Shin was just too famous and she had been hearing his name from time to time. She knew that he was alive.


    "I should have surrendered as soon as I heard about you…"


    "But forgive me, master Shin, I have my reasons to not lose…", she said with a hint of sadness and rage in her voice.


    They didn''t exchange any more words after this.


    The white wolf warrior n, specifically, Siara was asked toe forward and pick a b. Their n was weaker in strength and ranking.


    She walked forward and lifted a b - blue light emerged from it.


    So, one member from Shin''s n had to fight against all the members of Siara''s n.


    Well, they had already decided whom to send first. Considering the fact that Siara was present in the other n, Ae couldn''t help but beg to let her go.


    Of course, this time, Shin couldn''t deny her.


    He had alreadypleted the mission but hadn''t imed any rewards, so it was fine if he didn''t go. Since Ae requested a lot, he decided that she would the one to start the battle.


    Ae walked up to the podium, standing in front of all the members of the White wolf warriors n. She didn''t speak a word to her and just wanted to show how much she improved in thest year.


    Of course, she missed her mom, but she would always get a chance to talk to her after the battle was over.


    "Let the battle…"


    "BEGIN!"


    Reosan announced loudly momentster, all the white wolf warriors started attacking with their respective skills.


    The majority of them were wind types, but some were of ice types too.


    Some shot ice shards at Ae while others used wind des - the attacks were deadly and Siara didn''t want Ae to die, but she knew it better, that Ae didn''t seem like the small pup she knew back then.


    ''If she remained with master Shin all this time, then by no means would she be weak…'', she had concluded this much earlier, even before the match had begun.


    Ae used her skill [wind run] and started dodging the attacksunched by the white wolves.


    She sprinted towards one of the wolves and attacked her using [Aero sh] but she underestimated their teamwork as three wolves quickly used their skills, destroying [Aero sh].


    Their wind des were insanely strong. While they were indeed weaker than Ae in terms of levels and skills, if theybined their attacks, they could easily defend or cancel out her attacks.


    When the three wolves used wind des simultaneously to cancel out Aero sh, only two wind des vanished along with Ae''s attack.


    There was still another wind de from the third wolf which paved its way toward Ae.


    Needless to say, she dodged the attack with the help of Wind Run.


    However, when Siara used the next skill - [Wind st] - Ae failed to dodge it.


    It was because her attention was diverted as she tried dodging the third wind de.


    A sphere of circting heavy winds hit her abdomen, almost throwing her out of the podium.


    It was clear that the n White Wolf Warriors had an upper hand by now.


    Ae used [Huricanne] and finally managed to break their formation while also managing to injure some wolves but it seemed that luck wasn''t with her as the wolves quickly took another formation.


    The battle continued with Ae sometimes being able to break their formation but they would create another formation almost instantly and position themselves.


    Their teamwork was wless, even Shin could see that.


    The Celestials sitting in their meeting hall and watching this battle also made them a bit impressed.


    Regardless Siara used [Sonic w] to attack Ae who defended herself by using [Aero sh]. Both the skills shed causing shockwaves.


    Siara used [Aero sh] continuously which Ae was barely able to dodge.


    Many deep cut marks appeared on her body due to those continuous attacks.
