Chapter 89 We Met!
Most of the final candidates were killed at the hands of the powered-up monsters. Which wasn't much of a surprise, considering that they were outmatched in strength as well as in numbers. Even Emily and Ursula shared the same fate of being trampled under them.
Some candidates showed intense battles and gained many fans among the amazed audience. Nonetheless, they were still eliminated at the hands of monsters.
Now only fifteen minutes were left for this Ranking Assessment Survival test to come to an end. Half of the island was already submerged under sea water and in the next 15 minutes, this island will be completely sunk.
There were only two candidates and monsters left inside the entire island.
As for their battle, the audience at the stadium was the most anticipated.
Those two were the strongest participants this year and with their outstanding performance in this test, they gained countless fans. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Let's see what kind of spectacular battle we will get to see when these two rare elements collide.]
***
Inside the VIP box.
David was looking at the screen with a serious expression on his face while tapping his fingers on his armrest. It seemed that he was very much concerned about this upcoming battle.
"Lumine, who do you think will win?" Ronald asked curiously.
David's ears perked up when he heard Ronald's question and he also turned to look at Lumine, waiting for her answer.
Lumine thought for a moment and said while shaking her head. "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Ronald asked, raising his eyebrow. Lumine is the one who taught them. She should be very well aware of the situation, right?
Lumine nodded her head and said, "Although Luis' strength is two stars above Alicia. It's not that big of a difference that can't be overcome. Moreover, he will only be using Thunder Element. So, Alicia's chances of winning are much greater."
After pausing for a second, she continued.
"But Luis has a good deal of powerful Thunder Elemental Spells with him."
After pausing for a second, she continued.
"But Luis has a good deal of powerful Thunder Elemental Spells with him."
When Lumine mentioned this, they remembered how Luis had killed a D-rank monster when he was just a G-rank. Which is not some small feat.
"There must be some spells that he hasn't even shown us, so nothing can be said. Anything can happen."
Ronald and David nodded, agreeing with her words. They knew, as per Luis' personality, he would always have some of his cards hidden.
"I don't know if Luis will take this match seriously," David mumbled while wondering if Luis would be willing to hurt Alicia.
Although that guy had said all that before, David knew that Luis cared for his daughter a lot.
"He will."
This time, Lumine answered confidently.
Hearing her confident tone, both Ronald and David were surprised as they looked at her in unison and asked. "How can you be so sure?"
Lumine rubbed Ivy's tail, then after a few seconds she replied.
"Alicia has been anticipating her fight with Luis for quite a while. She has worked hard for all these months to match up to his steps. Although she knows that Luis won't be using his second element and some of his talents. She is still very excited about this fight."
Ronald and David knew that Luis had been Alicia's driving force. He is the reason she is trying to push herself and become stronger. So they understood how much it meant to her. But one question still bothered them.
"Will Luis be willing to hurt her?"
Lumine's hand, which was rubbing Ivy's tail, paused, then she raised her head to look at them and said. "If he doesn't fight back so as not to hurt her, then that's not caring. It's straight up disrespecting her."
"Disregarding her wishes and showing care for her at this time is like denying all the efforts she has put into trying to catch up to him. Do you think that will make Alicia happy?"
When they heard her, both Ronald and David went silent.
But Lumine continued.
"I am certain Luis knows what to do."
"Moreover, it's just a VR world, so he wouldn't be troubled by it."
"Though, if it were the real world, I don't think Luis would ever agree to follow along with her wishes in such a situation."
Hearing this, Although David had a plain expression on his face, inwardly, his anger towards his future son-in-law decreased quite a bit.
'Hmm, it's fine to follow her wishes, but he better not make her sad or hurt her.'
Ronald, on the other hand, just sighed inwardly while thinking. 'Women are so complicated.' His eyes glanced sideways at Lumine, then he sighed once again. But this time the sigh was full of self-pity.

Inside the VR world.
Luis, who was walking through the woods, saw something in his perception and a smile appeared on his face.
His feet sped up, and within a few seconds, he arrived at a clearing.
"Did I make you wait?"
Luis asked, showing a handsome smile while looking at Alicia, who was looking at him coldly.
"... I've been searching for you since the start of the test. Were you intentionally avoiding me?"
Although her tone seemed cold, Luis knew the difference. She was just pouting while complaining, aggrieved.
"Sorry, but it's good this way, right? Now we can use the rest of our time, however we want. There won't be any interruption." Luis said in a deep voice.
When she heard Luis' apology, Alicia's discontent heart eased a bit. But she felt like Luis' latter sentence was a bit misleading.
With a slight blush, she immediately stated, "We will be fighting!"
"Yes, what else did you think?" Luis asked, showing a confused and innocent expression, then a teasing smirk appeared on his face.
Alicia's face flushed in shame hearing Luis' question, but seeing the grin on his face she knew that he was teasing her, which made her embarrassment turn into anger.
