Kate's Point Of View
I stand in the ring with Zerod and he looks to be more interested in everyone else, he keeps looking over to Origami for some reason, maybe he has some issues identifying him because he looks confused. he then looks back to me and smiles.
"Kate, I will admit it you have gotten stronger then last time I saw you. however so have I, you don't stand a chance" Zerod said to me seriously. does he take me for a fool? I know Dragon Slayers are weak to Ice. he should be the one to give up,
"Please, your a Dragon Slayer, I have the advantage" I spoke proudly and he sighed looking almost pained to have to continue talking.
"And what then? after me you will be fighting one of those criminals, they would kill their own mother for a bag of gold" he said as he pointed to 2 criminals nodding in agreement, those monsters, "And after that you will fighting a Dragon or maybe that gamer over there. but regardless, do you think you can win?" Zerod said finaly, I will admit Michael is a strong gamer so he would be near impossible for me to beat, and a dragon has high resistance so Eron and Clark Teta took Kieran's power to damage, I may not be able to beat them however I will never forgive myself for running away from a fight. I power up and wait for the referee/mysterious voice from nowhere.
"3.....2......1...........go" a voice said from nowhere, I just powered up all my Ice powers to the maximum, this strength I did not want John to see in case for his own safety he distanced himself a bit. my Aura went bright blue and everything around my feet froze solid, the air around me became so cold that Verod jumped back almost out of the ring and powerd up some kind of fire aura that looks different to mine, it was gold in colour. looking over to Clark Teta who used the aura before, he looked scared, something tells me that Verod was using a more advanced version. he then vanished and I felt a fist embed itself in my gut and boiling lava flew out the other side. I then see foot prints in the ice over to me, he did not teleport, h walked and it was still to fast for me to see. I fell back onto the ground with a freshly made hole in my chest.
"Phoenix Reborn" I managed to say and I was back to full health, I then activated my strongest Ice ability, I had to end this fight now. I raised my hand into the air and then punched the ground freezing everything with all my power, however this was not enough. "Ice Age" I said in a quite voice but it projected well, then I felt my Ice spread across the entire Void city, everything was frozen solid. Including Verod however John had shown me that they can burn them self out so I made an Ice Spear and drove it through his chest, only to find it made of Dragon Scales? Verod then burn his wat out of the Ice and started laughing.
"wow, John really is a masochist hanging around you. however now is not the time to reminisce on old students. I have to say that was close, if you had been any faster I would be dead and you would be moving on, however there is 3 major differences between me and you. 1, Power, I am simple much stronger with my power and supply of power. 2, Combat experience, I have been in wars and fight Dragons that are stronger then me on a daily basis while you sit around watching John do all the work and train now and again. 3, Dragon Senses, I have all the senses of a Divine Dragon, you will never be able you match me when you lack so much by comparison.
"enough, If you want to say all that then deal with this... Ice God Form" I said releasing my most Dangerous Ice form, it is not my strongest however is is my most dangerous, as I just loose control. however it looks like it will be the most effective, for now my consciousness will rest.
Verod's Point Of View
Kate... you wouldn't, the Ice God form transforms you into a monster that cant be hurt by fire, only other Ice... I see, you think I cant exploit that forms weakness being a Dragon Slayer, you would be right however I can still use my own transformation... no I cant? the ring is to small, I wouldn't fit. damn it, I wont go down with out a fight. "Dragon Claw" I said after dashing behind her, she blocked it? yea she would, this form changes your inside unlike most forms that change your outside, you act on reflexes and instinct. I send a few more Dragon Claws however she blocks them all. I feel my hands freezing up just from attacking her, maybe I will have to transform and hope I can crush her before my hind legs touch the ground? I will have to try that one later. for now I need to wait for this form to end. it lasts 5 minuets normally, and considering how well my Dragon Claw did, I am sure I can handle it

"Pyrokinetic Wave" I said while activating the move I use to be a prick to stronger opponents, with this they are taking damage and being consistently pushed back, she avoids it by jumping... you fool, now you have nowhere to go. I powered up my Pyrokinetic Wave one more time and blast her out the ring. she does not land out of the ring though, she creates a path of ice below her that is connected to the ring and not the ground, clever girl.
"that was a close one. however now you loose" Kate said to me pointing below me... Ice Runes.... I did not even see them because of her new form... I was careless, and now I am trapped, she walks over to me with a smile, I have lost, I cant even transform because of these runes, you studied well Kate, I wonder if learning these made you to tired to learn in class? oh well, I know when I have lost so I look over to the referee.
"I have lost, start the next match" I said simple, shocking a few people, However I did not just leave, I jumped over to 'Origami' and placed my hand on his shoulder pulling him in close. "Hi 'That Gamer Over There'" I said simply, I already know it was John from the first Academy however my support is with Conner so it does not really matter. with that I saw his shocked expression and left with a smile. I will admit if I hadn't seen him put on the mask I would not have noticed him, however my clairvoyance noticed it, how unfortunate, after that however I could not track him so paid Conner a visit and he explained it all to me. I look forward to your success young Dragon Slayer.
John's Point Of View
So Kate won, interesting, wait why is Zerod jumping over to me. "Hi 'That Gamer Over There'" Zerod said with a smile. oh crap I have been discovered, wait. maybe he is helping Conner? that is the best I can hope for at the moment. oh well, the next fight is between two criminals.
"Round 2, Identity Withheld VS XXX... can you please put your actual names next time and step up to the ring" the voice said and the two fighters stepped up to the ring. ha, at least they know how to get on peoples nerves without it being against the law.
"3.....2......1........go" the voice said and...nothing?
the two fighters faced off against each other, they just stood and stared at each other clutching their weapons. both eyeing each other building up their aura slowly and steadily, both of them ready to move the moment their opponent does or gives an opening. maybe I underestimated these criminals, they are professional fighters.
(1 Hour Later)
The two criminal have still not moved, I think most people that were watching are now board doing something else, the strange referee voice that comes from nowhere has tried to tell them to move but they responded with they were 'waiting for an opening' yet something tells me they met up before hand and planned this,
"If neither of you move I will disqualify both of you and Kate White will move to the finals" the mysterious voice said in an annoyed tone, after that they both moved and... killed each other, Identity Withheld slashed XXX's throat and XXX stabbed Identity Withheld in the heart. the both fell down dead only to respawn over to one side, Kate would be moving on to the finals it looked like, the next fight would be Michael VS Clark Teta. that should be an interesting showdown.
