花季v3.0.2

The opponent looked like a boy as well with around the same height as Mako with fair skin and very very spiky blonde hair. Mako was most amazed by his hair as it looked as if he had put a whole gallon of hair gel to make the spike so long and hard.

The opponent turned out to be a lightning ability user as he moved very fast and easily dodged the fireballs.

"Hmm, you\'re not half bad," Mako commented but was met with a lightning bolt to the face as the other person was not in the mood to talk.

Mako used Phantom Shift just in time to dodge the attack. The opponent was quite confused; from his perspective, the lightning bolt had hit Mako, but then Mako suddenly de-materialized and materialized a few feet away from the attack.

Using the little time that Mako was able to buy with his stunt Mako quickly used Analyze to check out his opponent\'s stats.

Seeing that they were average stats all across the board with a focus on agility and stamina, Mako knew his best chance at ending the fight quickly was to get in close to where he would have the advantage.

Mako\'s agility was not as high as Tim\'s but it was close enough that it didn\'t have a real effect on Mako and he was able to charge in very quickly so that Tim would have less area to move around in.

Mako engaged Tim in hand-to-hand combat, which backfired because he hadn\'t received any training as all his moves were coming from all the video games he played with Gary.

He was still able to parry and dodge most of Tim\'s attacks since his strength wasn\'t his greatest attribute. Mako knew that if he wasted too much time then he won\'t be able to deal with the rest of the participants.

Using his elemental control, Mako shot out streams of fire to surround Tim. Now that the area was covered in flames, Tim caught on to what Mako was trying to do and he knew he couldn\'t do anything to get rid of the fire so instead, he started to charge up.

More and more electricity started to build up around his body as he started to conjure a missive lightning bolt. Tim\'s thought process was that since Mako trapped the two of them in a ring of fire, Mako also had no escape as the lightning bolt was guaranteed to hit.

The massive Lightning bolt the size of a baseball bat shot at Mako at a very high speed, but just as it looked like it would connect, Mako made use of Phantom Shift yet again and shifted right onto the flames surrounding them.

Since Mako was the one that conjured these flames, they responded to his will and didn\'t burn him at all like Tim thought they would. Using the massive lightning bolt had sapped quite a bit of energy out of him as he was huffing and panting. Mako made use of the situation and charged in, attacking with his Phantom moves and connecting every single time.

Annoyed by the fact that he was getting hit so many times, Tim suddenly started to spread lightning all over his body and move away from the last Phantom Punch without giving any chance for Mako to recover, he launched forward again as Mako\'s fist was still extended out and made lightning fist aimed at Mako\'s heart to end the fight.

Seeing the target of the lightning fist, Mako figured that it would be a lethal blow if it were to connect. Using his fist that was still extended out, Mako began to spin his body.

[Flame Wheel has been activated]

In a fluid-like motion, Mako went from missing his punching to suddenly starting to spin and conjure a ring of flames around his body.

By the time Tim figured out what was happening, the flame had hit him at point-blank range as Tim was blasted away and out of the bound of the arena.

"Blitz has been eliminated!" The announcer said loudly as there were a couple of groans and cheers mixed within the array of emotions displayed by the crowd.

Wasting no time, Mako moved to the next closest fighters that were fighting each other. One was a short girl with black and purple hair that used some kind of Earth ability but not quite as she was conjuring crystals from the ground rather than rocks while the other was a short boy who was countering with the fire ability albeit pathetically.

The two fighters were so focused on their battle that they didn\'t even realize that Mako was running toward them with a fireball the size of a big beachball.

Mako had already used Analyze on them both and saw that they didn\'t even have decent attributes and only level 2 abilities so he was confident that he would be killing two birds with one stone or in this case knocking out two fighters with one fireball.

The fireball hit as intended right in the middle of the two fighters who knew none the wiser and were immediately blasted apart as well.

"Diamond and Heatwave have been eliminated!" The announcer shouted again this time there were a lot more cheers than before.

The viewers and the people in the crowd were amazed by how Mako was able to keep fighting even after he had a tough early battle against a lightning user, and they now thought that he must have been exhausted as it would be game over from him, but what they didn\'t expect was for Mako to not even take a second to catch his breath and move on.

"What is this guy made of?!" Someone in the crowd shouted as he saw Mako engage in a fight against another person this one was one of the stronger ones as he had already knocked out two opponents himself and was a strong Earth ability user.

The Earth-ability user was a huge man with no upper clothing, a buzz cut, and well-defined muscles as he easily towered over Mako, but Mako wasn\'t phased by it one bit.

Using Analyze on him showed that he was almost out of energy as he had been using the elemental control of Earth very freely as energy consumption wasn\'t his main priority. He most likely didn\'t want to conserve his energy for the simple matter that other people would also be low on energy and he could just finish them off with his superior strength.

Mako; however, was an exception because he still had well over 200 points of energy which was the max amount for an average level 3 ability user.

Mako started to throw fireball after fireball toward him with no end in sight as due to his massive physique he couldn\'t dodge very well after a few fireballs had successfully hit, the seventh one made him go down for the count with a sizzling sound and smoke coming from his chest.

"Mister Bull has been eliminated!" The announcer shouted it was a huge upset for the crowd and the viewers online as he was the most popular rookie and a lot of people had bet on him.

Just as the announcement was made, the fight between the other two fighters was also over with a clean knockout by a person who looked straight like a ninja with almost everything about him covered with only his eyes visible.

What was weird was that Mako had only seen this person use physical attacks when fighting as he had not used any abilities.

fascinated by the fact that he had knocked out a level 3 Water ability user, he must have packed quite a punch and so Mako decided to use Analyze on him while the announcer announced the disqualification of the water user.

[Skill Failed (opponent level too high)]

"Huh?" Mako was confused as this was the first time that Mako had this skill fail on him but before he could even get his thoughts together, the announcer raised his arm in the air.

"We have our two semi-finalists! The second semi-final will be between Blaze and the Dark Assassin!" The announcer said with his voice itself being as loud as a loudspeaker.
