"It seems that even the girls have gathered, but someone is already on the leaderboard!" Gazil said.

"It\'s... Alyssa standing on the special zone!" Gazil stuttered when he read Alyssa\'s name for some reason.

"Look at that scar..."

"She\'s not even on the leaderboard"

"What\'s going on?"

People started chattering as they were confused by Alyssa\'s arrival.

"I was hoping this wouldn\'t happen," the old man at the office spoke as he saw Alyssa on the screen.

"Why did the Astaria Family\'s head allow her participation?" A sigh left his mouth.

Meanwhile, in the boys\' final location before Alyssa arrived at the special zone,

Asher dashed towards Sam, who thrust his spear towards him in an attempt to waste time and make sure he was not eliminated. He knew that his chances of winning were zero so he wanted to at least maintain his pride as a member of an Elite family.

"I can\'t lose this pathetically," Sam thought in his mind.

But Asher was done playing around. He countered with his sword, breaking Sam\'s stance and kicked him in the guts. Sam fell to the ground, holding his stomach and coughing blood.

But Asher did not stop there; he kicked him in the head, knocking him out as his face was buried in the mud. Asher looked at Matthew, almost wanting to surrender rather than be beaten like that.

"And Sam Allister was defeated by Asher Greville!!!" Gazil spoke as the audience cheered,

At the final location, Alyssa met the gazes of all three of them.

"Forget about winning this if you don\'t want to get hurt," she spoke.

"I don\'t even know who you are, but it seems you are quite arrogant," Eva spoke.

She waved her hand as multiple translucent barriers went towards Alyssa.

"Should have stayed out of here; now you can go back," Eva spoke.

Alyssa raised her finger and brought it down, breaking all the barriers that Eva had summoned.

"What?" Eva was shocked to see all her barriers break one by one.

Even Amelia and Elena, who knew about Eva\'s abilities, were shocked.

"Another advance element user!" Gazil spoke with a surprised voice.

"Who is this girl?" Sylvie said as she tried to remember.

"Pink hair... Ahh, she is the daughter of the Astaria family!" Verina replied after remembering.

"She is that girl? Why is she participating in a public tournament?" Sylvie said with a frown on her face.

"Who is she?" Livia asked.

"Oh, we\'ll tell you about that another day," Sylvie dodged the topic, making Lucas curious about her identity.

"Some kind of space element?" Elena muttered.

"Doesn\'t matter, I will win this," Elena said as she summoned multiple fireballs.

"Let\'s see how you dodge these," she spoke as many balls of fire went towards Alyssa.

"I will win," Alyssa muttered and raised her trembling finger, distorting the direction of the spells.

Amelia was still watching Alyssa, and she did not want to jump in carelessly. Both Elena and Eva were doing the same. They did not want to focus completely on Alyssa, leaving Amelia free to attack them.

*Ding*

Alyssa received +2 extra tokens for staying on the special zone. She would keep receiving 2 tokens every 10 seconds. This was also a problem for the other three competitors.

They did not know that Alyssa had not received any tokens until that point. They assumed that if she were this capable, she would have gathered a similar number of tokens to them.

"Oh, Elena!" a girl\'s voice exclaimed, and Elena turned to see her cousin Ria approaching.

"Who is that girl?" Elena asked when she noticed Alyssa.

"I don\'t know, but her element is space-related. Be careful," Eva warned Ria.

Eva knew Ria as she would often come to meet Elena in their Academy in Desmar.

"Space?" Ria looked back at Alyssa.

Seeing Ria and Elena, Alyssa\'s anger increased.

"These damn Rothschilds," she muttered to herself.

She could feel that the effect of the potion was fading, and her body was slowly showing symptoms again.

Another 10 seconds passed, and Alyssa received another 2 tokens, but now Elena and Eva were ready to attack her. Ria\'s arrival meant that they had another person to hold Amelia if she tried to attack them.

But before they could attack her, Amelia decided to attack Alyssa. Amelia moved forward with her dagger in her hand, augmenting her body. She fired a fireball at Alyssa, who diverted it like she did with Elena, but this gave enough time for Amelia to get closer to Alyssa.

"Lance," Alyssa muttered, confusing Amelia, but she suddenly looked to her right side, where an ice lance was coming towards her.

She tried to stop and dodge it, but the lance still grazed her.

Amelia stepped back from Alyssa before she could do another attack at her.

"What?" Elena, Eva, and Ria were all shocked.

"Two advanced elements?" Elena spoke.

"Another advanced element, this new contestant seems quite competent," Gazil spoke.

The crowd, including many people in the VIP rooms, was surprised to see that Alyssa could wield two advanced elements.

"It\'s a pity, though, that she only has the space element," someone in one of the VIP rooms said.

"Well, it doesn\'t matter; she would never have succeeded considering her past anyway," another person replied.

Now, all four of them had acknowledged that Alyssa was a threat that needed to be taken down.

They had no information about her, and by seeing Alyssa\'s capabilities until now, she was a real threat to them.

"Elena and Eva, you attack her while I take her in close range," Ria said as she unsheathed her sword.

They had no problem teaming up against Alyssa since her abilities were enough for her to keep her position and gain tokens.

All they needed to do was remove Alyssa from the special zone to ensure that she did not win.

"Okay," Eva said as she summoned many barriers.

Amelia also knew that fighting with others instead of Alyssa would be a waste of time, so she needed to support them in removing Alyssa from the special zone.

"Grant Strength," she augmented herself.

Ria ran towards Alyssa, and Elena and Eva got ready to attack Alyssa while Amelia was also closing her distance to her.

"Why do you always..." Alyssa muttered to herself as her hands trembled.

"Just die, die, die, die!" several voices shouted inside Alyssa\'s head.

"No!" Alyssa shouted as many ice lances appeared around her.

Alyssa\'s hair floated upwards, revealing her face and her scar. She was hovering above the ground, looking down on the four of them.

"I will not lose!" She shouted as Amelia felt the gravity around her increase.

"What the hell?!" All four of them were finding it difficult to move around.

Alyssa\'s nose was bleeding, and her skin had become paler, but she did not stop. More ice lances kept appearing behind her, and the increasing pressure made it difficult for them to move around.

Blue veins were starting to appear around her arms, and blood was dripping from her nose to the ground. It was clear that Alyssa was going beyond her limits for this attack.

"Dammit!" Amelia saw many ice lances appearing in the sky.

She was having difficulty, despite her augmented state.

"Does this bitch want to die?" Ria shouted, but Alyssa still did not stop.

Eva stacked many of her barriers to protect herself, but some of them kept shattering as they were formed due to the increased gravity caused by Alyssa.

"Not like this," Elena did not want to lose.

She channeled all her mana and materialized a big fireball over her hands.

"I will not go down like this!" She shouted as she threw the fireball, and the increased gravity was not enough to change the direction of this spell of Elena.

Alyssa\'s eyes were losing focus, but she looked at the fireball that Elena threw at her. A surge of anger flooded into her as she remembered her worst memory.

Alyssa conjured another bigger ice lance seeing the coming giant fireball. Multiple dark veins were appearing on her neck region nearing her face. Blood started falling from her eyes.

"Descend," she spoke as all the ice lances fell towards the four of them, and the big ice lance destroyed the fireball.

Amelia saw multiple ice lances coming towards her, but before they could impale her body, she saw the barrier around her activate.

"Dammit!" She cursed as she did not like losing, but she could not do anything against Alyssa.

She looked around, seeing all four of them were now eliminated by Alyssa.

But instead of being happy, Alyssa looked at her arms full of blue veins, and her eyes watered.

"Is this how I lose?" Alyssa spoke to herself.

She used the last of her mana to hover down to the stone platform but did not have enough mana to stand. She fell to her knees as she heard the noise coming from her bracelet, informing her about the tokens she gained from the four of them.

But instead of celebrating, she clenched her fist as her pink hair covered her face. She looked up and saw another participant approaching.

*Clap* *Clap*

"What a splendid performance," Vanessa Baker spoke.
