Honey : The Empire's Treasure 234 Gaining The Upper Hand

From her time battling Ms. Ynaselle, Mika noticed numerous things about her. For instance, she gets excited when she is facing her opponent in hand to hand combat.

When Mika was facing Ms. Ynaselle head-on, she picked on her flaws. Ms. Ynaselle was over confident in her techniques that she showed too many openings. Maybe it was because she knew she was battling a newb, and that she didn't need to be so wary. However, to Mika that just allowed her to know all the places to poke to get her victory.

Ynaselle made her golem disappear for the most part as little peddles began to cover both her hands. The rocks and peddles congested to form rock spheres on her hands. Once she was done gathering enough stones, Ynaselle clapped her hands together. 

*Bang!*

A loud noise was heard as what replaced those rock spheres were solid stone gloves.

"Okay, now I'm ready..." Ynaselle waved her hands back and forth at Mika.

"s.h.i.+t!..."

"Wow, can rocks do that?"

"They just did..."

"Water swords verses stone gloves..."

"Obviously, Ms.Ynaselle is going to win."

"She should have stayed up in the air..."

Many students shook their heads at Mika's choice in facing Ms. Ynaselle head-on.

Jonas and Saavi stood silently to the side as the rest of the students made their comments. They knew the minute Mika chose to fight this way is because she has a plan. Believing in Mika's craftiness, they didn't bother arguing with the others.

Zaos, looked at the Ynaselle and sucked his teeth. 

When will she ever break out of that behavior of hers...

Professor Zaos had been teaching at the school for almost as many years as its been open. He even taught Ynaselle when she was a student here. 

It took many years to clean up her fighting style, it was just as stubborn and hardheaded as the rocks she controls. Every time her opponent would openly challenge her, she wouldn't back down for any reason. Slowly losing control of her emotions until she was beaten.

She could have had the upper hand, victory within sight and yet this flaw of hers will always be her down fall.

Zaos looked at this old student of his, which he feels his is still teaching and hoped one day someone would knock some sense into that hard head of her's.

Mika stared at Ynaselle's "gloves". That was something she expected. 

Well, at least the golem gone...

"You ready...?" Ynaselle clenched her hands into a fists, making a weird crunching sound from the gloves.

"En."

The second Mika's answer, Ynaselle's body was in front of her pulling her right arm back to throw a punch.

Mika swiftly crossed both her left and right arms prepared to take the hit.

"BOOM!" 

Ynaselle's aim was direct, her punch landed in the middle of where Mika's twin swords met. Right in front of Mika's chest.

Dust and dirt flew up into the air as the force from the two sides meeting countered each other. No one could see anything.

"Is she out...?"

"Of course she is. There is no way she could have survived that!"

"Is she dead...? Can anyone see?"

"Man, a teacher killing a student will definitely look bad on the school..."

As the students talked amongst themselves, other professors and students from the other arena made their way over.

"Professor Zaos, you're still testing...?" A teacher from the weaponry department asked.

"En. I have one last student being tested right now. She facing off against Ynaselle..."

"Ynaselle is fighting a student! Aren't you being a little too careless...?" The teacher looked at Professor Zaos with worry.

If one of these elite fledglings died how will the academy deal with their parents?

"Don't worry, I have a good eye for talent..."

Just as Zaos finished speaking, the dust and dirt clear out enough for everyone to see inside the ring.

"Wh! How is this possible!?"

"Is she used a s.h.i.+eld or something...?"

"Did Ms. Ynaselle pull back her strength..."

The spectators couldn't believe their eyes.

In the middle of the ring Mika was holding her own against Ms. Ynaselle's attack.

Ms. Ynaselle, herself couldn't understand it. She should have been able to punch her way straight threw the girl's defenses, but something was stopping her punch from following through. It was like her fist was. .h.i.tting a wall.

In fact, the girl's swords had curved from the force she was excluding in her punch. So, why did it stop?

Mika was trying to keep her breath calm and even against Ms. Ynaselle's pressure.

When she saw Ms. Ynaselle attack coming at her, on a last minute thought, Mika used her nanos to make her own non-Newtonian fluid swords.

h.e.l.l yeah! Thank you science project! Mika rejoiced in her head.

Though Ms. Ynaselle force was still beating at her, at least she was able to hold off on the initial attack.

Using this time while Ms. Ynaselle is still confused, Mika push off and put some distance between them.

Thanking her little babies, Mika prepared for the next round. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
