The Most Satisfied Reincarnate

On the other hand, Desmond just smiled in response. He looked carefully at Elizabeth and then began wondering," Miss Elizabeth, may I ask a question?"

Looking at Elizabeth, who was elegantly shaking her head, Desmond frowned. There was a clear barrier between them, separating them before they fought, which he just found out.

Watching Desmond did not salute or greet their princess, the crowd became furious. Especially those seniors, they began talking behind his back, yet no one of them dared to speak up again when Alice glared at them.

"Sure," With a swift and elegant motion, her hand that covered her mouth loosened, chaining her expression into seriousness upon noticing the difference in Desmond gazes.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent as the crowd instantly watched every movement between Elizabeth and Desmond, trying to determine who would launch their attack first.

"Can you fight?" As soon his words sounded in the entire colosseum, the invisible barrier vanished in an instant. A trail of fire was suddenly appeared in front of Desmond and shot toward Elizabeth.

The crowd and Elizabeth were shocked. She could not react in time; only when she felt a burning tickling sensation on her smooth skin she could chant a spell.

"Light barrier!" A magic circle appeared above her head, slowly descend past her body and making her body enveloped by a light that repelled all of the surrounding fire.

"Despicable!" Those seniors could not help but scoff.

"A defense spell, huh," Ignoring those hate comments, Desmond muttered as his hand began gathering energy and a magic circle appeared above his palm.

The energy condensed into a white blur ball and slowly passed through the magic circle as Desmond waved his hand at Elizabeth.

Control Element: Sea of Fire

*swoosh*

As Elizabeth saw his attack, her face already paled. The attack from before not yet vanished, and now another shooting toward her. The spell on her body began flickered as the light kept attacking the surrounding fire.

"Light barrier!"

She then tries to gather the surrounding energy to enforce the light barrier, yet the energy dissipates as soon the energy try to gather at one point.  The sweat on her forehead began pouring out as she tried to calm her panicked emotion.

Her eyes unconsciously looked toward Clark, who was watching with worried. She noticed Desmond just casually waiting for her to solve his attacks.

The crowd panicked when they saw their princess was in trouble, but they could not do anything and only can watch helplessly.

"Hea-" When Elizabeth attention distracted, the attack from Desmond already landed on her barrier.

*boom*

Before she could cast a healing spell, the light barrier that enveloping her body began to melt. She closed her eyes as she watched the fire almost touched her nose.

*pop*

However, a sound silenced small explosion was heard. She was confused as she did not felt anything as she still could grip her clothes.

When Elizabeth squinting her eyes, she saw Desmond smiled, and the surrounding fires and his attack had already vanished.

She was confused but then noticed something wrong when her lung could not breathe any air.

"This is the end of the match," When Desmond's voice sounded on her head, her vision slowly darkened as she felt her body began to limp.

The crowd was astonished for a moment before one of them finally realized," The fire!" the student who was shouting was excitedly holding his friend shoulder with both arms.

However, no one of them could understand his words.

"You know, you can't breathe, or the air was mmm, how should I say this..." The student began pondering for a moment as his eye glanced at an unconscious Elizabeth and her surroundings.

He did not notice all of the students, including those seniors, were waiting for his answer.

"The air! When there is a fire surrounding you from all directions, even engulfing the sky, there is no air! Just imagine you are in bed, and then your home was burning. You must be trying to find the way outright? As you feel, you can't breathe!

"He is trying to implement that method but with a small scale by trapping the person with a fire!" The student, with great effort trying to explain Desmond attack toward the crowd. He was already exhausted because shouting loudly.

The eyes of the crowd were kept changing, from understanding into amazement. They could not think of that method, and then their looks changed at Desmond in fear.

Now those seniors know why those prospective students stayed silent as they fear of his revenge later on in the academy. Only Clark looked at Desmond with confusion and a bit suspicious.

How did he know the concept of lack oxygen? Clark thought as he stared at Desmond deeply before shifting his gaze toward the unconscious Elizabeth.

"The winner is student Desmond!" When a loud voice announced Desmond's name, he and Elizabeth had already vanished on the spot.

Desmond returned back to his previous seat, where those girls were staring with sparkling eyes toward him. As for Elizabeth, she was missing; it seemed her body would be treated by the academy.

"You are amazing, Master Desmond!"

"G-Good job"

"Amazing as always," One by one, those girls commented, even the shy girl that hiding behind her friends' back looking at Desmond and clapping her hands.

Desmond humbly smiled and thanked them. To him, this match no; the entire test could not even exert his full power. It was embarrassing for him if he lost toward those kids who had no death-life experience.

Nice one, brother... Alice voice ringing again on his mind. He glanced at Alice and saw her both hands were excitedly shaking and cheering at him.

Thank you, sis, Desmond replied by sending back magic messages. Their conversation immediately ended when Desmond finally had a chance to remind her about the eavesdropping matters

...

Meanwhile, after Desmond's match, those prospective students battled one by one, which took the entire day. The younger generation that Desmond knew were winning, except Elizabeth, that lost to him.

However, no one of them realized when the day ended as the sky kept bright. Only Desmond, the person, realized that, as the system already told him before.

The next day when all of those prospective students already battled as Elizabeth and the students who lost also came back, the winners were not called again for a match; instead, Jessy and the other white-robed people appeared in the arena.

"The long day test finally ended! I must congrats all of you having choosing the North Academy as your future!" When Jessy spoke full of vigor, the entire colosseum began to tremble.

The structure began to moves by itself. The ground beneath Jessy and white-robed people changed into a wooden floor coated with some glitter.

The audience seats that originally surrounding the arena began to move to the front of Jessy as the sky darkened, covering by something shadow.

"From now, we will announce the students that are accepted by the academy!" When Jessy's voice was heard again, those prospective students were dumbfounded to find themselves in a large hall.

The hall had a wooden floor with a center podium floor coated by some glitter. There was a large glass on the sides, making the blue sky clear as water visible, and the sunlight shone upon their bodies.

After a long time, they finally sensed back how warm the light from the real sun was. The entire test kept using a fake sun which made them wondered how they created it?

Behind Jessy and the white-robed people spotted a large strange object that looked like a big furnace for them. However, the object was emitting and gathering the surrounding energy. They also spotted many magic crystals were embedded in it.

The hall dived into two-floor, while the second floor was obviously occupied by those seniors who were amused and smirked upon watching those prospective students' reactions.
