“What do you want, Marcela?” Miles asked in irritation. Ever since he found out that Val had left without telling him because she thought he was dead, he had been furious with Marcela. If Marcela let Val in or let her know his situation, Val wouldn’t have gone to the academy or at least would notify him.
So, ever since he returned from the academy, he ignored Marcela, at least he tried to.
“Nothing, just watching how useless you are,” Marcela said haughtily with her arms around her chest.
“Okay, you have seen it already. Now go away.” Miles was in no mood to deal with his sister, so he just waved her off.
“Not yet. I think I will teach you a few pointers about energy.” She smirked as she walked into the training room. At the wall was a speaker, she ordered; “Send in two guards.”
Soon, two guards arrived. Since she didn’t name them, two random guards came. It showed how Marcela was taking Miles lightly. She didn’t care which element the guards had, she only wanted to embarrass Miles further.
“Ready, brother?” She asked with a condescending look.
“No, I am in no mood to play with you.” Miles jumped on his feet and was ready to walk out of the training room, but a bolt of lightning fell on his path to stop him. He looked back at Marcela in irritation and gathered energy at the soles of his feet.
“Did you know?” Marcela gathered water elemental energy in her palm as she looked at her brother, “Merlin and I can use every elemental energy so long as we have access to a superpower about that element. It makes our Heart Branch techniques boundless.”
“Good for you too,” Miles said without any emotion on his face.
“You see, normally people are limited by their elements. It is so pitiful. Well, not as pitiful as someone without any element, of course.”
“Aren’t you also elementless when there is no one around you?” Miles smirked as he looked back in arrogance challenging Marcela’s. “Oh, you can’t even use energy when there is no one around you.”
When Marcela first awakened, the family thought she would be able to use energy freely and gather any element around her. But it turned out that she could only make use of elemental energies of superpowers she had access to.

For example, at the time, she was using lightning elemental and water elemental superpowers. Thus, she could use both elemental energies simultaneously, as if she had mixed elemental energy. And if she were to use two superpowers with double elemental energies as Safire had, she would have access to four different elements. But the weird thing was, she couldn’t use energy at all when there was no superpower she could use.
Because of that, she was one of the strongest and weakest people in Unity. If she were to be captured with no ally near her who was willing to share their superpowers with her, she would be helpless. When Miles first learned that he had no element at all, he was surprised as he could still use energy but Marcela couldn’t.
“Are you sure you want to tease me before the fight, brother?” Marcela asked in anger, although she tried to hide it. She was always bitter about having guards around her all the time. Now that she awakened energy, the promised powers never bestowed upon her. Her grandfather told her she would be a one-woman army, but without people around her, she was powerless still.
“Come on now, you wouldn’t cry over a small teasing among siblings, would you?” Miles grinned as he used Frontal Rush. He disappeared from where she was standing and appeared in front of his sister who was shocked to see his brother vanish. He pulled his arm with all his power and punched forward towards Marcela who had just gathered enough wits to counter.
Just as the punch was about to land, Marcela, who looked helpless and weak, suddenly had an aura of a queen. Miles looked carefully and noticed an ethereal entity appearing behind her. It was getting more and more corporal each second.
“You surprised me with your speed, but it wasn’t for nothing that they call you a beast.” Marcela’s tone was different. It was still arrogant and was looking down on Miles, but if before it was vain now it had some power that affected him. He wanted to bow his head and accept her decree.
“This is the power of an ultimate, brother. Whatever you do, however you train, without acquiring one of your own, you can never beat me.”
Miles raised his head to look at her ultimate. It was a woman with dark blue eyes tainted with gold and raven black hair. Her skin was fair but it looked lively. She was wearing a gown and in her hands, she was holding a golden tiara donned with marvelous stones.
She raised her two hands and placed the tiara on Marcela’s head ceremoniously. With it, her powers increased. He could feel the pressure she was emitting from where he was standing.
“Morgan Le Fey! Raise and give me your wisdom.” Marcela shouted with gusto. The eyes of the ethereal woman shone and lightning and water elements started to dance around Marcela. It looked as if elements were bowing in front of her. It looked so magical yet terrifying. Even Alex couldn't make the lightning bow in front of him, and he was the incarnation of lightning God, Ukko.
“My ultimate is the incarnation of Morgan Le Fey. She was a goddess who could command every element in existence and use every spell known to the men. When she appears, my control over elements and techniques multiplies severalfold.” Marcela explained with a magnanimous smile. “So, do you still want to fight?”
