The fight that was currently going on in the arena was between Monica's elder brother Nate and Pearl's younger sister Maya and you could say it was quite an interesting battle between two of the strongest second-year students.
Nate shot out two fireballs from his hand as Maya quickly formed three layers of ice wall to block the fireballs.
The fireballs smashed through the first layer of ice and did the same thing to the second layer before hitting the third one which Maya had reinforced enough to block the fireballs.
As soon as the fireballs had turned to smoke, she let out a sigh as she formed tiny blades out of ice and sent them flying towards Nate.
Nate quickly summoned his halberd and began spinning and swinging it to take care of the ice blades.
He had successfully taken care of the blades with his halberd but there was more coming.
This time Maya had sent ice blades three times the number of the first ones she had sent towards him.
Nate knew knocking down those blades without getting hit was impossible but he knew exactly how to deal with them.
His halberd vanished from his hand as he quickly shot out streams of fire out of his hands to take care of the ice blades which had evaporated on the spot instead of turning to water and dropping on the floor.
"I hate fire," Maya said, shaking her head.
She knew attacking Nate with any more of her ice attacks was going to be futile, that was the reason why she had summoned her scythe.
"I thought you were going to throw more ice blades at me," Nate said as his halberd appeared in his hand.
Maya didn't say anything as she took off heading towards Nate.
If she couldn't take him down with her ability, maybe she could take him down in close combat.
Nate wasn't really looking forward to a close combat with Maya as he shot out two fireballs from his hands aiming for her legs.
Maya saw the fireballs coming toward her and quickly used her ice ability to form steps which she used to get away from the fireballs.
The fireballs were about to hit the first step holding the ones together as she formed a slide to quickly roll down before that happened.
She had landed right in front of Nate and quickly tried to hit him with her scythe but he used his halberd to block the attack before he tried to kick her while she was on the ground.
Maya blew out ice from her mouth to freeze his leg before it could get to her and aware that her ice wasn't going to last on his body, she quickly pulled her scythe back and tried to hit him again.
The ice on Nate's leg took a light red glow before melting as Nate used his telekinetic ability to redirect her scythe before sending her back with a kick from the same leg she had frozen.
"I don't see your sister winning this fight," Presley said.
"She's always had trouble facing people with fire ability," Pearl said.
Nate didn't add much power to his kick, so it had been easy for Maya to regain her balance and as soon as she had regained it, she blasted Nate with a large ball of ice.
Nate used his telekinetic ability to slow down the ice ball before turning it into drops of water with his fire ability.
"Come one," Maya said with a dejected voice.
"My turn," Nate said as his halberd vanished from his hand and he shot out two large fireball from his hands.
Maya tried to create many ice layers to block the fireballs but she wasn't fast enough as the fireballs smashed through her ice wall and sent her flying backward until she clashed on the floor.
"Your brother uses his fire ability freely while you always try to avoid using them," Henry said, turning to Monica.
"No I don't, I just don't prefer using it all the time," Monica said.
'You know Monica is the only human I have seen who has two elemental abilities.' Luis thought.
'Yeah, I thought only Angels were supposed to have two elemental abilities.' Lena thought.
'I used to believe that but if humans can have two abilities then there's a chance that two of them can be elemental just like in the case of Monica.' Luis replied.
Maya slowly got up from the floor breathing heavily. Her face and clothes were covered with dust now.
She looked ahead to see Nate slowly approaching her.
"Why do I always have to lose to someone with fire ability?" She said under her breath as she shot out streams of ice from her hand.
Nate saw the streams of ice heading towards him and quickly shot out streams of fire from his hands to counter the attack.
Both attacks met in the middle and now it was a matter of who had more ability points and the power to push the other person back.
Maya was trying her best to push Nate back so that her ice could blast him to the wall and stick him there but her plan was only working to a low degree as she had only managed to push Nate a few feet back.
"Blasting me with ice like this was really foolish of you!" Nate yelled.
"Huh!"
"Sorry, Maya," Nate said as he added more kinetic energy to his fire stream with his telekinetic ability.
Maya tried to keep the fire stream away but it was just too much for her as the fire stream covered up her ice stream and blasted her up.
She was sent flying towards the wall, smashed into it, and was about to crash hard on the floor when Nate quickly got closer to her and used his telekinetic ability to reduce the force with which she was falling.
She dropped to the floor lying on her back and it didn't look like she was getting up.
"Nate Smith has made it to the last seven." Lieutenant Kate said.
'Finally.' Nate said in his mind as soon as he heard that.
It had always been his dream to fight in the tournament and that dream had just come true.
Lieutenant Kate waited for the arena to be clear of the last fighters before she announced the last fighters.
There was no matching process as these two people were the last.
"The last fight to complete the seven will be between Tammy Phillips and Timmy Tun." Lieutenant Kate announced.
The last fight to determine to complete the seven was set and everyone was pretty sure of who was going to emerge victorious.

At Eukerion academy, classes had just concluded for the day in the first-year class as Todd quickly made his way to Tania before Chloe would get there.
"Hi, Tania," Todd said abruptly after he had gotten to her desk.
"Hi, Todd," Tania said looking up at him with a smile. "Any problem?"
"No, I just wanted to know if you want to train with me," Todd said.
"Now?" Tania asked.
"Yeah," Todd said.
"Sorry, Todd but I don't think I can train now," Tania said.
"Why not?" Todd asked.
"I want to stay in the class and write something," Tania said, biting her lips as soon as she realized that she shouldn't have said it like that.
"Write what?" Todd asked.
"It's something personal," Tania said.
"Like a diary?"
"No, like a letter," Tania said.
Todd looked straight to see Chloe heading towards them and after seeing her, he bit his lower lip and turned to Tania.
"Ok, maybe we can train tomorrow before the students from other academies start arriving." He said quickly making his way towards the door.
"Yeah," Tania said, although he had already left.
"What was he telling you?"
Tania quickly turned to see Chloe standing behind her with her bag hanging over her shoulder.
"Now I know why he left so quickly," Tania said with a blank expression on her face.
"What was he telling you?" Chloe asked again, dropping her bag on top of Tania's desk.
"He asked me if I wanted to train," Tania said.
"What did you say?" Chloe asked.
"I said no because I have to write something to my brother just like I told you," Tania said.
"Yeah, that," Chloe said.
The roommates were the only ones left in the class now as Tania took out a piece of paper and began to write on it with her pen.
Chloe watched her write for a few minutes before she decided to say something she had in her mind.
"You know you still haven't told me how that is English," Chloe said, pointing at the strange symbols she was writing on the paper.
"I've been thinking the same thing about your own English since I arrived here and after a week of looking at both of them side by side I've discovered something," Tania said as her pain stopped moving as soon as she had said the last word.
"What?" Chloe asked.
"They are the same language," Tania said.
"Huh?"
"Are you with a pencil?" Tania asked.
"Yeah," Chloe said, reaching into her bag to bring out a pencil.
Tania took the pencil from her and turned over the paper she was using to write.
She wrote the letter A in English and wrote what the same letter A looked like in Asaka beside it.
"Watch." She said as she used the eraser on the pencil to clean some parts of the Asakan English A and after she was done, it looked exactly like the normal A.
Chloe's eyes widened in excitement as she looked at what Tania had just done.
"Whoa."
