Starting With 3 S-Class Talents - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Strong Enemy, Jonathan
Nabil saw Vincent’s expression changed and walked up to him. He patted Vincent’s shoulder with envy.

“Vincent, you should be happy. If you miss one round, you’ll be in a better state the next round.”

Nabil tried to comfort Vincent. However, Vincent just smiled at him bitterly.

Only Chris knew why Vincent reacted that way.

He was a battle maniac!

How could he be happy without fighting?

When Chris passed Vincent, he gave Vincent a cheeky bump on the shoulder.

Vincent rolled his eyes at him.

Teacher Chris who was watching from afar covered her mouth and let out a soft chuckle as she looked at Vincent.

This was the first time she had seen Vincent reacted that way. She felt like he was much cuter than usual.

Although there were fewer people in the second round of the individual battle, the battle duration was much longer than the first round. This was because the quality of the participants was higher in comparison.

The sky was already dark by the time they finished battling.

“After a day of competing, I think every one must be very tired. Let’s call it a day, we’ll meet again tomorrow!”

The next day, it was bright. Vincent and the others entered the Falcon Arena once again.

“Contestants, audience, we meet again! After a day of intense competition yesterday, there are only 228 participants left in the one-on-one battle. Today, we will finish off the individual battles!”

The host stood on a frisbee-liked platform.

“Let’s not waste any more time. Let us begin the drawing of lots for the third one-on-one battle!”

After drawing lots, Vincent found out that his opponent was Blue Tyrant School’s Jonathan.

Johnson’s superpower was A-Class Poison Quicksand. Although it was also an elemental-type, it was able to restrain most elemental-type superpowers. This included Vincent’s Hellfire superpower.

Due to their difference in level, the restraint was not much. Plus, Vincent had evolved Hellfire. Johnson’s superpower should not be much of a problem.

However, he was still rather superior to Vincent.

Vincent and Johnson looked at each other on stage. When the referee gave the signal to start, the two of them almost released their superpowers at the same time.

Half of the ring was filled with black Hellfire, and the other half was filled with jade-green quicksand. One was able to tell the difference between the two of them easily.

“I know that you are a powerhouse in Quinn. I also know that you have the title, ‘Monsters’ Nemesis’. However, your opponent right now is me, and I will not be easily defeated by you!” said Johnson.

Johnson’s face was solemn. He felt a lot of pressure fighting Vincent, but he did not allow himself to retreat.

This was the heart of a powerhouse!

Vincent knew that he was facing an opponent that was worthy of respect. He respected him.

He nodded solemnly and launched the first attack.

“Flash!”

He started with the elusive Flash. It was clear that Vincent was serious.

Although he had more powerful attacks, Flash was definitely one of the top three in Vincent’s attack list.

Bang!

Vincent’s Flash hit Johnson’s back and started to burn. He left a hole in Johnson’s back. Inside the hole, one could see Johnson’s healthy wheat-colored skin. It then slowly healed, and the hole disappeared.

At the same time, the flames were slowly being extinguished.

This was due to the quicksand’s restraint on fire.

Although Flash did not deal much damage to Johnson, he was still frightened.

He looked at Vincent and frowned.

“If I didn’t have the quicksand coat to protect me, I would have really fallen into your trap. Since you took the initiative to attack, here’s my attack!”

“Quicksand Missile!”

Small balls of jade-green quicksand flew up from under Jonathan’s feet. As he waved his hand at Vincent, the jade-green quicksand balls flew towards Vincent instantly.

Vincent raised his hand and used the Fire Net to block them. The small balls were immediately destroyed by Hellfire.

“Hellfire is indeed powerful. I want to see how long you can defend!”

Johnson raised his hands above his head. The quicksand beneath his feet flew upwards. The quicksand then morphed into a huge blade. Johnson struck down the blade fiercely at Vincent.

“Quicksand Slash!”

Whoosh!

The huge jade-green quicksand blade against Vincent’s Fire Net. The two were in a stalemate.

Vincent did not realize that there was thin, invisible quicksand moving through Hellfire. Johnson was targeting his feet.

“It’s over!”

Johnson suddenly opened his hands, and the blade shattered, causing a loud bang. Sand fell everywhere.

“Quicksand to the Grave!”

Johnson clenched his right fist at Vincent.

Vincent’s heart tightened. As he had sharp senses, he could tell that there was a problem. He quickly attached the flames of Hellfire to his body.

At the same time, a sand pillar suddenly shot up from the ground and trapped Vincent in the middle. Countless sharp spikes shot out and began to hurt Vincent.

“So strong!” Vincent thought to himself.

He still could not understand how Johnson managed to slip quicksand over to his side.

Vincent took out his Purgatory Blade and attached Hellfire to it.

“Collapsing Mountain Strike!”

Bang!

A huge black flaming blade suddenly emerged from the sand pillar and gave Johnson a fright.

If he had not dodged quickly, the blade would have struck his body.

Vincent’s blade split the fighting ring into two. The scene caught the attention of the spectators and the experts of Falcon Country.

“God! What’s going on?”

“Is this the combat strength that a student should have?”

“As expected of the Monsters’ Nemesis, so strong!”

Vincent spread his Flaming Wings and rushed out from the sand pillar.

He looked like a Burning Man.

Vincent did not hold back. He put away his Purgatory Blade and flew into the air. He grabbed two fire vines and swung them at Jonathan.

Jonathan was terrified by Vincent’s attacks. If he reacted any slower, he might have been split into two.

When he saw Vincent’s attack again, he quickly defended himself.

He knelt on one knee with his arms crossed in front of him. He used a quicksand shield to protect his back.

Bang!

With just one strike, his defense had been shattered by the Fire Vines.

Before Johnson could even react, the second Fire Vine was nearby.

He closed his eyes in despair. Vincent had endless tricks up his sleeve.

Johnson had used all his strength, but there was still no way for him to win.

However, after waiting for a long time, he did not feel any pain. When he looked up, he saw Vincent standing in front of him. Vincent extended his arm to him.

“What are you doing?”

Johnson was puzzled.

“You are very strong. You are a strong person. I am very happy to be able to fight with you,” said Vincent.

Vincent smiled.

Johnson looked at Vincent. Vincent looked very sincere.

In an instant, Johnson’s disappointment was gone. To be able to fight with a strong person like Vincent was rewarding enough. What was there to be disappointed about?

He reached out to grab Vincent’s hand and stood up.

“Thank you for showing me mercy in the end.”

“This is a competition, not a life and death battle.”

The referee looked at the two of them and announced loudly, “Round Three, No. 87, Vincent wins!”
