Chapter 276: Science of Physical Attacks (2)
"That\'s amazing, Miss Elysia. You make an amplified sound attack from the snap of your fingers." Ariel conveyed her simple amazement with a slight smile, but that didn\'t dampen her vigilance.
"Thank you, Miss Ariel. The other attacks are coming." Elysia swung her hand, and shockwave energy came splashing like blades of air.
Ariel avoided the three barely perceptible shock waves by maneuvering to the side. However, Elysia\'s other attacks kept coming like the swift waves. She clenched her fist, followed by a surge of magic energy.
*Bam!*
A powerful blow was released into the air. It destroyed all of the shockwave blades as an area of effect attack, like the waves crashing against the breakwater.
"Miss Elysia, your abilities are not simple. Would you like me to strike back so you can hone your quick reflexes and judgment in unexpected situations?" Ariel suggested that Hannah\'s previous suggestion would be of no use to Elysia.
"Very well, you can also use weapons if you want, Miss Ariel. I will try to keep my distance with long-range attacks for this sparring." Elysia nodded in agreement. Then, she jumped back and stepped into the air as if she was floating.
"I will use a weapon if necessary. For now, please allow me to use my bare hands." After saying that, Ariel ran with light and quick steps. She covered 20 meters without taking a second.
"Ha!"
A punch was thrown towards Elysia, and a shockwave came crashing through the air. Unfortunately, Elysia had no intention of launching a collision attack. The girl who was still in the air just dodged and counterattacked with another physical attack magic.
*Bam* *Bang* *Swoosh* *Boom!*
Various sound effects could be heard clearly, even from outside the special zone barrier. Everyone on training ground four witnessed Elysia\'s feat against a Saint-level holy knight without losing any clash of attacks.
"Ella." Evelyn muttered softly, but her gaze couldn\'t escape her best friend\'s battle.
"Yes, I\'m here, Eve." Ella responded while watching. She was too astonished to move.
They had just found out that Elysia could fight on a relatively equal footing with Saint-level holy knight, even though Elysia was still at the Apprentice level. Ariel didn\'t use her adequate strength to attack and only trained with Elysia. Still, it was an outstanding achievement for Elysia to keep up with a Saint\'s attack.
"Is this Ely\'s true power? Ely didn\'t hide her power from the start. Even her energy aura is still white. However, this is too wow... Did Ely use her abilities to their fullest at that time and still end up losing?" Evelyn mumbled with a whisper-like voice.
Ella understood what her friend meant by that. She didn\'t know for sure, but she could assume in a whisper. "I don\'t know, Eve. But, Ely was doing her best at that time. The monsters were too many and dangerous. By the Goddess\'s grace, Ely is still with us now."
"Will we be as strong as Ely one day?" Evelyn wondered in reverie. She also wished to be a great and mighty figure, not just a pretty girl but underestimated.
"That\'s for sure, Eve. Your Royal Bloodline runs through your veins. However, don\'t use anything as an excuse to compare yourself to Ely. Ely is our friend, a precious rare friend." Ella reminded her friend of the kindness of their friendship.
She already viewed Elysia and Evelyn as valuable friends to look after regardless of their backgrounds. Their exquisite nature, good disposition, and sincere personality made her think so.
"You\'re taking me wrong, Ella. Ely is my best friend, I love it when she\'s happy, and I get excited when I know my best friend is amazing. Ely is already in my life story, and she came into my life as predicted. The three of us will face for what the future holds, together." Evelyn put her hand on her upper chest, and a sweet smile adorned her beautiful face.
"En, we will." Ella couldn\'t agree more with that.
Maximilian didn\'t even have time to pay attention to the two girls\' conversation next to him. He completely missed their soft whispers just to watch the sparring.
Meanwhile, Ariel dodged once again with a backflip and launched a devastating kick at the spherical energy wave, causing a chaotic blast of disrupted magic. She was thrown slightly into the air, but she regained her footing on the ground with ease.
"That\'s another impressive magic from you, Miss Elysia. You don\'t stop giving me new surprises with other surprises. Uhm, you never cease to amaze me. I never thought you\'d try to put the concepts we discussed last night straight into magic, and it works." Ariel stared at Elysia with a sparkling, wonderstruck gaze. She felt dizzy with excitement because she got the honor to exchange movements with the Goddess\'s disciple.
"I both appreciate and thank you, Miss Ariel. You taught me about the theory and concept of combined and non-elemental magic that you shared last night. It\'s beyond my understanding to explore natural sciences, and it\'s truly a valuable new knowledge." Elysia descended from the air slowly and landed on the ground.
She thought it was time to end their sparring session as she couldn\'t use dangerous magic any more than before. That would harm not only Ariel but others as well.
"I am honored, Miss Elysia. However, may I ask you one thing?" Ariel had a slightly confused expression when Elysia landed.
"Yes, please." Elysia tilted her head slightly.
"Why are you only using magic to inflict physical attacks? All you do is non-elemental magic or compound element magic as the catalyst?" Ariel opened her hand, casting mini non-elemental magic there.
"Ah, that... I tried to enrich the encyclopedia in my mind about the science of physical attacks using magic. The ones just now because I want to try it in practice, based on science books and what I learned last night." Elysia didn\'t hesitate to answer.
"I see... Do you wish to continue our spar?" Ariel nodded but didn\'t want to ask more in that direction because she knew why.
"Hu-umm, I think that\'s enough, Miss Ariel. Let\'s end our sparring session. I am quite satisfied with the results of violent blasts, shock waves, sound waves, magnetic energy, and so on. Thank you for accompanying me in my practice." Elysia shook her head with her decision that needed no further explanation.
"I understand. Let\'s get out." After saying that, Ariel led the way to the control rune and deactivated the barrier. It was only 15 minutes, but she immensely enjoyed seeing the variety of Elysia\'s magic.
"Ely, you are amazing! I was amazed and stunned to see your magic. I saw you using the kaboom! And bang bam... Then swoosh and blast. Miss Ariel seemed like a real punching bag for you, hehe..." Evelyn cheered cheers while running. Then, she held her best friend\'s hand with a bright expression.
Yet, she realized that her words were a bit harsh for Ariel to hear. "Sorry, Miss Ariel. No offense, no offense, hehe..."
"That\'s fine, Princess Evelyn. My role in the sparring session earlier was as Miss Elysia\'s training partner after all." Ariel waved her hand lightly, understanding Evelyn\'s point.
"Thank you for the show of strength and magic. I got excited too." Ella came closer with a joyful expression. There were too many words she wanted to say, but she was confused about choosing them. Therefore, she made it so simple.
"Hum-hum, now it\'s your turn, right? I\'ll be watching from the side." Elysia nodded to support her friends.
With no wind and no rain, Hannah suddenly came beside Elysia with a big, enthusiastic smile. "Ely-sia~ Let\'s do sparring with me. You will get a better experience in battle to hone your skills, I guarantee it."
"Ah-uhh..." Elysia was a little surprised, but she hesitated to answer because Hannah\'s smile was a little scary.
\'Ely, let\'s do a spar with this woman. Her expression is just weird, and her smile is like expecting something out of you. Yes, let\'s try using a quantum radiation attack or a blast of nuclear energy to fulfill this woman\'s request.\' Elena harrumphed with unconscious dissatisfaction. She only needed one glance at Hannah at this point, and she didn\'t like this woman anymore for whatever reason.
\'Uh, what if she becomes a zombie or a titan? Nuclear energy radiation can cause something like mutations, right? No-no, I had enough physical attack training this time. As for the other magic, let us test and train ourselves in a safe area away from others... Like an inhabited desert.\' Elysia immediately refused without discussion because it was not a good suggestion, even though Elena wasn\'t serious.
\'Well then, you can use Celestia, Ely. Practice our various kinds of magic and turn this woman into a real punching bag. This woman\'s smile pissed me off quite a bit for no apparent reason. How strange, but true. Don\'t you feel the same, Ely?\' Elena came up with a more lenient proposal.
\'Uhh, no, but okay.\' Elysia was a little overwhelmed by Elena\'s excuses. It was good enough to practice for the sake of honing skills without focusing on physical attack magic.
"Your suggestion sounds appealing, Miss Hannah. All right, let\'s do a spar, but after Ella and Eve are done with their sparring session. In the meantime, you should train Rosie and Fran as you told them before." Elysia responded politely and accompanied by a hand gesture.
"Boo, boring. I invite you now, and you ask for later." Hannah expressed her disapproval with a twist of words. She hoped Elysia would do the spar now.
