Serene had run onest check on E''s body before allowing her to go with Silvia.


    Silvia had told Silvia to return to the arena for the final round of thepetition while she returned to their dorm room but Silvia had insisted on following her.


    "So Jasmine doesn''t know the cause of it," Silvia said as the two walked back to their dorm room together.


    "No she doesn''t, it''s really strange given that it all started today," E said.


    "If she doesn''t know the cause then you should avoid touching that crystal for now," Silvia said.


    "Yeah," E said, looking at the crystal.


    ''This is very strange.'' Jasmine said. ''I would even advise you to drop the ne for now.''


    ''I can''t do that, you''re the only one that keeps mepany when I''m alone and sometimes your advice is useful." E said.


    ''A it''s sweet of you to say that.'' Jasmine said. ''But my advice is useful all the time.


    ''You wish.''


    The two roommates approached their dorm room now and Silvia opened the door as the two entered their dorm room to see their sheets on the floor and Ajax wriggling under them.


    "Ajax," E called with an infuriated voice.


    The demonic wolf stopped moving under the sheets as soon as he heard his name.


    He slowly made his way out of the sheets only to see the two girls staring at him and they didn''t have the nicest expression on their faces.


    The wolf didn''t move as it looked back at them with those adorable eyes of his.


    E walked to him and squatted down beside him before rubbing his head.


    "I''ve told you Ajax that our bed sheets aren''t your toys," E said.


    "Yeah, after E burnt my other one, this one''s the only one I have left,"  Silvia said, picking up both bedsheets from the floor.


    Ajax responded with little moans before letting out a bark.


    "Don''t you think it''s time you return to your mother?" E said.


    "She has a mother?" Silvia said.


    "Yeah," E said.


    "You never told me, I thought he was a lone cub that you found in the woods and he thinks you''re his mother now," Silvia said dressing her bed with her bedsheets.


    The mention of going back to his mother had sparked up a reaction in Ajax as he crawled back away from E.


    "Don''t you think she would be worried about you?" E said.


    Ajax shook his head and let out a growl as a fireball shot out from his mouth heading for E.


    E was quick enough to shift as the fireball kept moving and finally hit the wall.


    Ajax had quickly rushed under her bed as she turned to the wall which had a ck mark on it from the fireball.


    "That''s not good," E muttered.


    "And I thought the only thing that made him special was fast healing," Silvia said with her gaze on the wall.

    The selection process had begun at the arena again as the students who had not fought yet had their eyes on the screen expecting to see their image.


    The image of Presley had stopped in the first box before that of Tammy had stopped in the other box.


    The two had immediately turned to each other as soon as they had seen the oue of the matching process.


    "Now here''s a fight I would love to watch," Pearl said with a smile.


    "The next fight will be between Presley Harper and Tammy Phillips, two third-year students. This fight is sure going to be interesting." Lieutenant Kate said.


    "Sorry, Presley but I''m rooting for my best friend," Pearl said before he could head to the earth pir.


    "It''s okay Pearl but rooting for her doesn''t mean she''ll win,"  Presley said heading for the earth pir.


    Presley arrived at the arena floor where Tammy was already waiting for him.


    ''This is going to be interesting indeed.'' Luis thought.


    The countdown began as Tammy rolled her fingers back and forth while Presley tried to think of the best form of attack to use.


    Both of them knew very well that any cking off from them and the other person would use the opportunity to his or her advantage.


    Yes, Tammy was recognized as the strongest student in the academy because of her performance in thest tournament but that didn''t mean that the other third-year students were far behind her and there was a chance that she could lose that title here.


    The countdown came to an end as Tammy quickly summoned her shield and quickly threw it toward Presley.


    The shield was too fast for Presley to avoid but he had formed a barrier out of ice to block the shield.


    That was only a distraction from Tammy who quickly stomped her foot on the ground before making a quick run toward Presley.


    The ground shook almost knocking Presley down but he had extended his hand with his ice ability to keep his bnce.


    Tammy jumped up with her daggers and wasing down on him when he quickly broke the ice on his hands and sted her back with an ice st.


    Tammy was sent tumbling backward but she was able to get up quickly and hit her daggers on the ground to remove the ice covering the des.


    "This isn''t going to be easy Tammy," Presley said.


    "I never expected it to be," Tammy said as her daggers disappeared from her hands.


    She picked up her shield and summoned her sword ready to make the best out of this fight.


    She ran towards Presley as he tried to st her with ice but her training with her father in their underground had really paid off as she avoided the sts while blocking some of them with her shield.


    Presley knew he wasn''t going to hit her which was why he had stopped sting at her and summoned his sword.


    It''s not like he didn''t have other attacking options to use against her with his ice ability, he knew that for someone like Tammy, he was better off reserving his ice points for close calls.


    Tammy got close and shed her sword down at him as he ced his sword in the right ce to block it.


    He seemed to have forgotten about the shield as she banged it against his face before sending him back with a kick.


    That kick looked like it would really hurt but Presley had quickly gotten up from the floor and formed a replica of his sword with his ice ability.


    Tammy quickly rushed to him with her sword and shield but Presley was calm as he waited for her to enter his trap.


    As soon as she had gotten close to him, he stopped his foot on the ground to freeze her legs before sending her back with a kick simr to the one she had given him.


    Tammy tumbled backward before getting a hold of herself but this time she didn''t get up immediately as she had one knee on the ground while breathing heavily.


    "It''s nice to see Tammy fight someone who''s her match in thispetition." Lieutenant Kate said.


    ''And I thought none of them could match up to her to this level'' Luis thought.
