Chapter 61 Kobayashi Siril (Cyril)



Upon saying that, the vines that continued to grow thicker and choke Satoshi started to melt as if they were put in an oven. There were no signs of fire and it didn't seem like Hiroshi was doing something to the vines but for sure, it melted right in front of everyone's eyes.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Satoshi briefly summoned his familiar 'Lighter' and shot a single spire of flame towards the Vine. That tiny amount of unquenchable flame was enough to melt the entire vine to nothingness. With a satisfied grin, Satoshi dusted himself off and rode the Nailgun while shooting a few nails towards Siril and literally nailing him down on the ground as the nails pierced his shirt. A huge circular thing suddenly flew right on top of Siril's and his group's head and before they even realized what was happening, Satoshi's Windfan started turning with full force, pushing a lot of air towards Siril and his group and pinning them on the ground. They couldn't even talk to each other since the air was too loud. Just the wind alone was enough to pin them on the ground after all.

"Hiroshi, try to assist Shiroi and Sumire. The ice won't hold for long." Satoshi ordered, implying that the group trapped in Shiroi's ice was about to escape.

And he was right. Apparently, someone with the fire superpower was within the group as well. It didn't take long before the ice prison that Shiroi constructed while expending most of her energy melted so easily and everyone in the group came out unscathed. A fireball then shot at Hiroshi, which he wasn't expecting at all. It hit him straightly on the shoulder, causing him to lose balance and tip over, falling down towards the ground. Fortunately, he managed to control the portion of land where he was landing and turned it into soft mushy earth resembling mud. The fall didn't hurt him, but it certainly provided an opening for the other group since the second group didn't have someone checking in on them.

Satoshi, who was still preoccupied with controlling the Windfan and rendering Siri's group immobile, had to go check the second group and used his other familiar, Droplet, on them. Droplet is not really useful if there isn't any water around since it's just, well, a droplet. But thanks to Shiroi's ice prison that just melted, there was an abundance of water. This time, Satoshi caused the water droplet to mix in with the said water and he immediately worked on trapping the entire group in an orb of water. Obviously, fire is weak to water so that group couldn't do anything but slowly lose consciousness as they drowned. Satoshi hated the method but that was the only way he could deal with that group.

A flash of electricity, this time, shot towards Satoshi and he dodged just in time before it hit him. That electricity then traveled towards the orb of water and electrocuted those trapped inside it. Seeing the damage he's done, Electro, the first year with the power of electricity, realized that their entire class doesn't stand a chance anymore and he conceded. The other three in the group didn't even bother to reveal what their superpower was since they conceded as well.

However, despite showing such spirit, Satoshi wasn't risking the chance of a surprise attack so he controlled the orb of water and imprisoned those in the second group as well. He also captured Siril and his group and pretty soon, the entire class was in an orb of water, desperately trying to claw their way out as their lungs begged to breathe. "Ice them," Satoshi called out and Shiroi immediately iced the surface of the orb before Satoshi sent it hurtling out of bounds.

When Satoshi's familiar, Droplet, returned to the palm of his hands, an announcement rang throughout the entire training center, saying that everyone else except for Siril has dropped out of the free-for-all. Bewildered, Satoshi glanced around to see if he really missed throwing Siril out of bounds. Nevertheless, he was sure that Siril was indeed inside the orb when he sent it away.

Unless he escaped at the last second— that's the only reasonable explanation. But how could he escape such a thing when he didn't even put up a fight when he was being pinned by the Windfan on the ground. If he had the strength to do so— in retrospect, why didn't he put up a fight in the first place?

After asking such questions, Satoshi finally got it. They were all playing by the palm of Siril's hand from the start. The reason why he ambushed them at such timing was that he was aware of Kuroe's limits. And aside from that, he was also aware that Satoshi was more than capable enough to get rid of everyone in his class.

There was no doubt about it, he wanted Satoshi to get rid of his class so he can have less competition.

p Siril smiled at himself. His plan had gone awfully well compared to how he viewed it. At first, when the Windfan rendered his group immobile, he had an inkling to use his superpowers at once. Even though he just got rid of two-thirds of his class, at least he'd have a higher chance of being chosen as a candidate for the inter-high. But then again, he wanted a surefire way of becoming a candidate so he waited... and waited... until Satoshi sent them flying out of bounds. Before his body touched the ground, however, he shot upward and reptilian wings suddenly grew on his back.

His eyes also turned reptilian as well and the nictitating membrane covered his eyes. His eyes also became brownish yellow and a horizontal line replaced his irises. Without taking a break, he flew forward, towards the center of the map. Now that his entire class was gone, all he had to do was engage Satoshi and the others in a fight, try to struggle as much as he could, and then lose in a glorious manner.

While it may seem that he was back to take revenge for his classmates, his goals were actually the opposite. Thinking about that, a mischievous grin formed on his face as he watched Satoshi and his party regrouping from a distance.
