( The oval arena )
" Fight! ".
The referee gave the command and instantly Asiva charged at full pace towards the angel.
" Scattered Light Blast ".
Ferial joined her hands to form a triangle using her palms as she used a scattered light blast attack to dish out 5 beams of light aimed towards the charging Asiva.
*Swoosh*
Asiva did an incredible mid air horizontal roll to slide between two scattered light shots as she landed on her feet and used an attack of her own.
" Exploding Daggers ".
Asiva threw five daggers towards Ferial who seemed to be prepared for the attack as she flapped her wings hard and began moving backwards along the same line, but due to her moving back the trajectory of the daggers was no longer correctly aiming at her body.
*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*
The daggers went past her body, as Ferial smiled cheekily thinking she had dodged the attack. Unfortunately for her though she missed the minute strings hanging out of Asiva's fingertips.
Asiva pulled the strings as the daggers dramatically changed the course and were pulled back towards where Ferial stood.
" Boom ". Asiva said as the daggers exploded all around Ferial.
-4400
" Aghhh ". Ferial screamed in pain as flames and smoke erupted all around her.
This was a move she had never seen Asiva use before and was hence caught completely off-guard by its usage.
Her HP bar was reduced in half by a single powerful attack, and by the time the smoke cleared in front of her eyes, it had already become too late to dodge the incoming attack by Asiva.
" Death Pierce " Asiva said as she rammed her dagger straight through Ferials neck as she scored a critical hit
-7500 CRITICAL HIT!
In a shocking turn of events and a final battle that lasted a grand total of 55 seconds, Asiva won the match in convincing fashion.
Ferial dropped dead much to the horror of her fans, as Asiva stood tall as the winner of the tournament with her hand raised high.
The principal and staff walked onto the pitch with flowers and gifts as the principal personally announced the final victor.
" The winner of this match, and of this year's tournament to find the strongest warrior amongst the ranks of the University for Nourishment Of Young talents ..... Asiva Nightblade Paratus! ".
" Asiva the Bloodless! "
" Asiva the merciless, let's goo! "
" You are the queen! I knew from day one that you are a hard moto"
" Haha, thankyou for making me a bunch of money"
" Asiva, if you need a bed warming husband I'm available for marriage ".
The crowd cheered for her, as Asiva smugly accepted the grand reward for winning. The rare stat booster, as she consumed it without a second thought.
Many gulped enviously when they saw Asiva consume such a rare and valuable treasure, but now that she ate it there was nothing that they could do about it anyways.
Looking towards the crowd, Asiva tried to find her friends, as she saw them happy and clapping for her in victory.
She pouted a bit when she saw Anna leaning over Max's shoulders to try and get a better view of her, but then quickly waved it off.
Walking proudly out of the oval arena, she was excited to hear Max's thoughts about her win tonight back at the dorm.

( Meanwhile Asmodeus )
Asmodeus was dragged into a large church against his will, as he was forced to kneel there before the statue of goddess Beniogre.
If there was one god that Asmodeus hated to his core, it was Beniogre.
He did not even hate the god who killed him in his past life as much as he hated her, as he had nothing but pure disgust for Beniogre.
Beniogre was a goddess who had limitless power under her belt. While she pretended to be the goddess of light, life and prosperity, Asmodeus knew that Beniogre was capable of taking life away at will as much as she was capable of giving it.
She was one of the few god's capable of killing another god at will without having to move a finger, yet she insisted on creating a dream like utopian world without war or struggles instead of using her gifts properly.
If there was one thing Asmodeus hated, it was the idea of a chocolaty world where there was no crime, no ambition and no strife.
A world where everyone loved each other and lived happily.
Just the thought itself of such a world made him feel like he needed to instantly vomit.
It was for this very reason that he was extremely unhappy at being made to kneel before Beniogre. As if given an option he would choose to die before kneeling to a goddess like her.
" So this is the possessed? ". A radiant young man asked the fat bald priest who nodded in reverence.
" Indeed " The fat priest said
" Hmmm lets see ". The man said as he placed his hand over Asmodeus's chin and looked straight into his eyes.
It was at this moment that Asmodeus felt like his soul itself was on fire, as he felt like some outer power was judging his soul through vengeful eyes.
" A greater demon has rendered the young master Sebastian in a vegetative state, I'm afraid this case is much more serious than we thought ". The young man concluded as Asmodeus was left panting and in a disarray when the young man eventually averted his gaze.
" Who are you? Why can you use soul magic? " Asmodeus asked fearfully, soulmancers were a class that was presumed to be wiped out years ago.
" Not something you are worthy of knowing demon " The young man replied as he snapped his fingers and asked the guards to bind Asmodeus up in the dungeon below.
Asmodeus had been on alert for the last few hours, waiting for the smallest opportunity to escape but unfortunately there was none uptil now.
As time passed, he grew more and more desperate to escape. With the enemy having a soulmancer within their ranks, he needed to escape at the first opportunity possible, as he would be seperated from Sebastian's body otherwise.
