My Angelic System

Unlike Kye, she didn't manage to predict this move, so she dodged at the last moment. Though she still managed to dodge, so waved her hand quickly and ten water blades rushed toward Kye at irregular intervals.

Kye managed to dodge them all by keeping a cool head, but he still made a mistake. He was too focused on what was happening in front of him. So much that he didn't see Sylvia's whip coming toward him from the right side.

*Swoosh*

[-5 HP]

The whip targeted his ribs, injuring him in the process. He began to bleed and even his suit had now a big hole.

The swing wasn't strong in itself. It was the shockwave the whip had released upon the strong impact.

But Kye, instead of backing down decided to rush toward her. If the distance between them were to increase, then he would surely lose this fight because he was already injured. Sure he would heal the wound naturally and quickly, but even that will take time. And it was time that he wasn't willing to give to Sylvia because she would surely take advantage of that to end him.

And Sylvia seeing that made a small smile while being a little shocked. She didn't expect to see Kye going toward her even with this injury and another volley of water blades going toward him.

'I need to expand my vision,' Kye thought as he swim toward Sylvia while dodging everything, even the whip that looks like it was bending water under its force. 'I won't be able to win if I'm too focused on just a simple area. The larger my vision, the better I will be able to predict things.'

Unbeknownst to him, his eyes glowed yellow after thinking that. Sylvia saw that too and she felt a shiver down her spine. Nonetheless, she still made a water spear that spun around her. The same move she did in the VR. Even though she didn't stop moving because of the shiver she felt, she still took it into account and decided to end this fight as fast as possible.

Kye remembered this move very well too. He had underestimated it the last time, but now that he knew how it worked, he was ready to overcome it. So he swam toward Sylvia with his sword ready in his hand.

Sylvia didn't move yet since she could still attack from a safe distance while keeping her opponent at bay. However, even that seemed to not be enough because Kye was still moving as if he was a fish under the water. He dodged all her swings, and god knows how many times she swung to attack him.

But he still dodged everything. And once she was almost in the spear range, he decided to do quite the bold move.

He threw his sword at her, and since she didn't see this move coming, she move too late. But unfortunately for Kye, he only scratched her face. However, this single move managed to destabilize Sylvia enough for him to enter the spear's range without getting hit.

And once Sylvia turned her head to come back to the fight, the only thing she saw was Kye's punch coming right toward her face.

*Paww*

Since Kye's strength was now higher than before, his punch also had much more explosive force. So much that Sylvia was sent flying away, but not without a little surprise for Kye.

*Swoosh*

*Swung*

*Swoosh*

[-10 HP]

Sylvia at the last moment managed to wave her hand and created two water blades and swung her whip once. They were so close that Kye couldn't dodge this, and she was right because he took everything.

He too was sent flying away with his swimming suit completely torn apart. Thankfully though, it was only the front, not the back, so his wings weren't visible.

And there were now around twenty meters separating them. Making Kye click his tongue because he was now weaponless and had to swim all the way back toward her while she could already attack her from here.

Sylvia's nose was bleeding, but she quickly recovered by swinging her whip while moving her free hand to make water projectile. However, she didn't have to.

"Sylvia, I give up!" Kye shouted so that she could hear him. And it worked because she dissipated all the projectile that was already going toward Kye and retracted her whip.

Kye then swim to pick up his sword and then went toward Sylvia. "Sorry to have to break your nose," Kye looked shyly to the side.

"Don't worry about that. I should be the one apologizing. Your stomach area is full of cuts because of the damage you took. There's even blood coming out from them.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Are you sure? Should I take you to the infirmary?" Sylvia's worry was genuine. All these cuts must have hurt a lot, yet Kye still refused, reassuring her that he was fine. "Though I must say, I'm glad of what I did," She made a smug smile.

"What do you mean?"

"I can see your abs as much as I want now. Your body is really amazing. And you're still growing, so that only means that you're going to be better with time," She even made gave him a thumb up to say everything was perfect.

"I-I mean," This time, he looked away for real because her remark made him very shy. His ears even turned a little red. "Thanks,"

"Hehe," She chuckled then looked to their surrounding. "Anyway, it seems that our fight had attracted a lot of attention," All the students who had stopped fighting to watch their fight still didn't recover from what they saw.

First, because the fight was amazing in itself. It was both intense and fluid. Both Kye and Sylvia were moving so well underwater that it looks like they were fighting above ground. Not to say that the way they fought was very good too. Both used different tactics and tried to take advantage of every opening they could find.

Second, because the people who fought had such a big gap in the level that they were all taken aback by how Kye managed to hold his ground even against someone this high level.

"I guess I wouldn't have been able to do anything if you fought for real," Kye returned to normal and smiled, understanding how far behind he was from high-level people. He was stronger than most students, but those who were high level like his friends were another matter. Sure without their abilities, he could hold his ground, but the moment they begin to use one, it gets so hard that he almost can't touch them.

"Don't say that Kye," Sylvia immediately said. "There's no need for me to not be real, so yes, you indeed wouldn't have been able to do anything. However, the fact that you managed to hold your ground even with the level difference between us is amazing. No one can do as well as you among all the students here with such a big disadvantage. However I still have a question," Kye nodded and thanked her for her comforting words. "Why didn't you use your ability?"

"Oh, it's because I don't have one."

"How did you use your light ray in the VR against me then?" Sylvia only had doubts, no real proof of Kye being Fallen Angel. But she still decided to ask this just to see his reaction. And she wasn't deceived by it."

"I-I never fought you though," Kye tried to dissipate her doubts, but it only gave her the answer she wanted.

"Don't worry," She winked. "I won't say anything to anyone. On the contrary, if you want something from me, don't hesitate," She then took his hand onto hers. "But can I still ask you something?"
