Chapter 118: Gwen Versus Jacob (2)

Gwen was now facing a clone and the original. However, she had her eyes set on the second one. Jacob immediately understood that his opponent had figured out who he was, but he couldn’t understand how.

He never told his power weakness to anybody else. Not even his mother and father knew it, yet the woman in front of him had her eyes set on him.

<SHIT…>

Gwen started charging at Jacob like a bull elephant, with her armor giving her a terrifying look. The armor had a pair of short horns jutting out of the helm.

They were totally constructed of mana that had been solidified. Yet, they had such a natural appearance that it seemed as though they had been taken off by a thaid and planted on top of it.

A T-shaped slit allowed the young woman to see, and that was basically the only part of her body that could be seen. The gauntlets, the pauldrons, the cuirass, and the greaves covered the rest.

She didn’t only look like a bull elephant but like a tank. And yet Jacob was facing her as if he had been fighting against anybody else.

Jacob tried to use her body weight to throw her into the air, though Gwen was too smart and experienced to fall for such a trick. As soon as she was close enough, she raised her leg and kicked Jacob hard in the guts making him fall to the ground.

“YEAH! THAT’S HOW YOU DO IT!” Floyd shouted. Gwen glanced at her friend while the clone quickly arrived behind her, grabbing her by the waist and throwing her in the air. That was a calculated move as he immediately used a suplex maneuver, slamming her down onto the floor.

The young woman violently hit the ground, but fortunately, her helm protected her head. The woman quickly tried to stand up, with the clone still clung to her back. However, Gwen was a very strong girl, so she was able to stand up while lifting the clone up.

Though she couldn’t shake him off, so she jumped. Landing with all of her and her armor’s weight over the clone and then using her head and arms to beat him unconscious. She was able to pull that off, but while she did, Jacob stood up from the ground and charged at her again. He was finally able to catch her in the end.

Jacob grabbed her by the neck, tried to choke her, and almost made it.

“GWEN!” Amber shouted from the sidelines. Visibly worried about her friend’s well-being.

“C’mon, Gwen, you can do it!” Floyd shouted, while Erik simply remained silent and watched the match.

Gwen had serious trouble breathing, and she was slowly losing her breath while trying to get rid of her opponent.

She yanked, pulled, and pushed herself away from Jacob until she got free. Unfortunately, when she freed herself, she fell to the floor due to a loss of balance caused by a lack of oxygen.

But this time, Jacob lifted his foot and stomped on the side of her helmet. Gwen didn’t suffer much from the blow. She rolled on the ground and consequently stood up.

Gwen felt her opponent start channeling mana. That was it; she would lose if she allowed the young man to create his clones again.

This was opposite to what she predicted before the fight, as Jacob proved himself to be quite strong, much stronger than she initially assumed. She charged at the young man with all her strength and speared him.

The crowd cheered loudly while looking at that move. They saw her body bending in position and her right shoulder hitting the man’s abdomen like a train. It was an amazing sight.

The woman fell on him with all her and the armor’s weight; the momentum she gained increased the damage several times.

The blow she unleashed on the poor man was so strong it made Jacob lose his breath. For a couple of seconds, he couldn’t breathe, and that was all Gwen needed.

She started punching him hard in the face with her gauntlets on until his face was bloodied. But Gwen didn’t stop there. She continued attacking her foe, punching him repeatedly in the abdomen and other parts. He lost consciousness soon after, and she was declared the fight’s winner.

“THE WINNER IS GWEN LINDSAY!” the referee shouted. The people spectating the fight went into raptures. It seemed that most people wanted the young woman to win.<novelnext></novelnext>

When the crowd settled down, Gwen saw her friends standing next to each other. Amber looked happy and proud, whereas Floyd and Erik nodded at her in approval. She won in the end.

“What did I say? She won!” Amber said, jumping all over the place.

It was at that moment that Gwen went out of the ring. She was sweaty and tired but also very satisfied. The match had been really intense she almost lost after all.

Instead, she walked towards her friends with her head held high and a smile on her lips. When she reached Amber, they hugged tightly, which made her feel even more relieved.

“Congratulations, Gwen!” Amber said, clearly happy for her friend. Erik simply patted her on the shoulder while Floyd teased her a little bit.

“You took your time, uh?” Floyd said with a smug face.

“Shut up, you idiot…” Gwen replied.

Only a fight remained before Erik was going to fight against Nathaniel. Allan’s and Stefan’s one. Many people knew who the two contestants were. However, Allan was the underdog in the competition, so he had not the same number of supporters Stefan had.

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BEFORE THE NEXT MATCH, THERE WILL BE AN HOUR BREAK,” the referee said.

“Are we going to look at the match?” Erik asked.

“Yes, let’s stay…” Gwen said. Amber looked at her with a slight smile. The truth was that when Floyd teased her about Allan, he wasn’t wrong.

The young woman had a crush on him, but only Amber knew. Floyd joked about it once, but he was only speculating. Gwen didn’t want to imagine how he would bring her to exhaustion if he learned about it.

As for Erik, Gwen knew he wouldn’t have made fun of her, but she didn’t know him so well. After all, they started being friends only recently, so she didn’t feel comfortable telling him.

“Ok, but let’s go take something fresh to drink. I’m very thirsty,” Erik said.

“Yeah, it’s not a bad idea!” Floyd replied.

The four then went to the cafeteria, which was still open despite the school being already ended. The place worked as a restaurant for the people that wanted to eat before the next matches. After all, it was already lunchtime, so people flooded the place.

Gwen was thirsty and hungry and decided to order food, Floyd did the same since he had already fought, but since Erik and Amber were going to fight later, they decided to only drink water.

“So…” Erik said, “What do I do with Nathaniel?” he asked.

The three turned to look at him, and each one gave their advice to the young man. Though, there wasn’t much to really say. Winning this match was akin to impossible for Erik; Nathaniel’s power was stronger than his, and his martial arts better.

Erik was forced to fight melee against him due to his sharpening power. Still, since Nathaniel was well-versed in martial arts, and his power allowed him to land attacks despite not directly hitting him with his fists, Erik was bound to lose that match.

However, Erik didn’t want to fight with an already losing mentality, so he tried to find a solution to his current predicament, but unfortunately, he found none. So, he simply decided to fight, hoping things would turn out for the better. Not the best thing to do, but the only one he had available.

The four teenagers’ food and drinks arrived shortly after, and at least for that small moment, Erik could forget that he was going to fight the strongest student in the whole school.
