35 - Who are you?!

"My boss will be proud."

Levi smirked, summoning one more bolt of lightning before striking down on the weak opponent before him. If the child was dead, he would definitely get the Thunder ring, no matter whether he had lost the battle or not.

However, instead of being greeted with the sight of a bloodied victim, he noticed that his opponent was still completely intact, whilst his weapon was completely burnt to a crisp.

[Daughter of the Flame - Flame of Wrath]

"Wh-What...?!" He blinked twice, to make sure that he was not seeing things. He looked around with much suspicion. Some flea from that group of students must have pulled a trick on him. 'No matter, they can't even step into the ring because of all the electrical wires. It's not possible for them to interfere.'

With his parasol gone, he resorted to using brute strength to put an end to the child— No, the Thunder Battle. Levi raised his foot high in the air, gaze narrowed, preparing to stomp down—

"Man, you are a stubborn one, aren't you?"

He heard a voice right beside his ear. Before he could turn around to find the source of that voice, he soon found himself being slammed against the concrete floor. A metallic taste overwhelmed his tastebuds, as red liquid dripped down from the corners of his mouth. He craned his neck and looked up, to see a mysterious person donned in a hood standing right in front of him. The hood blocked most of the person's features, causing him to be unable to distinguish who he/she was.

"So, I assume you are one of the present generation candidates?"

The mysterious person spoke, tapping her heels onto the ground with a crisp clack. The person's voice, though deep, was unmistakably a female's voice.

"Bad haircut. Poor facial features. Ugly personality. What more could I say?"

'How dare she mock him?!' Gritting his teeth with a mixture of anger and pain, he prepared to stand up and fight, only to be pushed down easily by her sharp heels.

"VARIA Thunder Guardian, Levi A Than." The mysterious person called out with venom lacing her words. The soles of her heels tapping onto him with every word that she spoke.

"Who are you..?"

"How despicable." She grabbed his face by his chin, forcing him to look directly into her eyes. For the first time, Levi could not move in the face of his opponent. He, the lightning-fast Leviathan, could not move. He did not know what was refraining him from doing so. All he knew, was that his very body shivered right in front of this mysterious lady. Her presence. Her power. They were overwhelming. He could not turn away. He could not stop himself from staring into the person's dark red eyes.
