One blast of fireball wasn't enough to knock Jonathan down as he quickly got up from the floor and retaliated with two earth spears which he sent flying towards the second-year student.
Nate knew he wasn't going to get out of this one with his telekinesis, he summoned his halberd and used it to smash the spears before they could get to him.
Jonathan didn't stop his attacks as he formed six shorter spears and sent them all flying toward Nate at once.
Nate let out a deep sigh as he spun his halberd and slashed down all the blades before they could get to him.
Jonathan wanted to form more earth spears but Nate wasn't going to let him as he shot out a large fireball with his right hand and then increased the thrust with his telekinetic ability.
The fireball plus the telekinetic thrust was too much for Jonathan's earth wall to handle as it smashed through it and sent the first-year student flying backward in the process.
He was breathing heavily as he kept the hilt of his halberd on Jonathan's head, it didn't look like he was getting up after that hit.
"It doesn't look like Jonathan's getting up again and that means Nate makes it to the next round." Lieutenant Kate said.
Monica had been standing in front of Dylan for quite a while now, trying to get him to talk but all her efforts proved futile.
"What is wrong with you Dylan?" She asked.
"Does it look like there's anything wrong with me?"
It looked like he was looking at her but he wasn't he was just staring off, Monica knew this from the way he kept his eyes, they looked somehow dead.
"You disappeared throughout yesterday's tournament and you show up today and refuse to come to stand with us," Monica said.

"Safer?" Monica said. "What are you not telling me, Dylan?"
She asked that question expecting an answer from the blonde-haired teenager but just like the previous questions, she had asked he had refused to talk.
"C'mon Dylan, what's the problem? Maybe I can help." She said slowly, grabbing his hand.
"Help," Luis said as he felt like chuckling but his mood wouldn't even let the chuckle come out.
The next fight had begun and this time it was between two very skilled earth users as everyone had their eyes glued to the screens because of the fine display of nice earth skills by both second-year students.
The fight lasted for quite a while before the victor emerged.
His opponent formed a large earth spear and threw it towards him but before the earth spear could get to him he stopped it mid-air and broke the earth spear into tiny earth bullets which he sent flying towards his opponent.
Luis' eyes had brightened as soon as he saw that the student had used exactly the same type of attack he used yesterday; the only difference was that his own earth bullets were tinier than the second-year student's own.
Reynold and Chad, the two students Luis had beaten up behind the first-year class, were watching the fight on the same spot and they had quickly turned to each other as soon as they had seen that move.
Reynold turned to his watch and began to type something and after he was done he raised his head and turned his gaze to the third-year side.
George was standing in the third year area with Brad and Brolin standing beside him when he heard a ding sound come from his watch.
He slowly raised the watch to his view and after reading the message he slowly turned to Brad who was the closest person to him.
"Keep an eye on that boy." He said slowly, turning his gaze to the screen which was displaying the only boy standing in the arena.

Jude sat at the back of their house waiting for the sun to set completely and as soon as it had done he took off slowly making his way to the forest.
Maya was sitting in the living room with her husband, Felix seemed to be in a very bad mood as he had a frown on his face while looking up at the ceiling.
Maya watched him for a while before deciding to go check on her son.
She walked to the hallway which had the rooms of her two children in it and had stopped in front of Tania's room.
She slowly opened the door to the dark room with the only source of light coming from the moon which had its light illuminating into the room from the upper window which was wide open.
She walked straight to her cupboard which had a painting of her daughter put in a frame.
She picked up the picture and began to look at it as her eyes began to tear up.
"If I had known this would have happened I would have never talked to you about marriage." She sobbed as she pressed the painting against her chest.
She stood in the same position for quite a while before dropping the painting back on the cupboard.
"I just hope you're safe wherever you are my dear Tania." She said before leaving the room.
She cleaned her tears and took a deep breath in before walking to Jude's door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Hello, Jude I know you're upset but I just want to talk. Mother and son, just like old times." She said but there was no response.
She knocked again but there was still no response from whoever she thought was inside.
"Jude please just open the door."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer emotion had gotten the better of her as she pushed the door open only to see that there was nobody in the room.
"Jude." She gasped.
Jude had long arrived in the forest and was standing near the hole with Tauriel and Tuchel.
"So you're saying with the help of this map on a scroll you now know where to find travel stones," Tuchel said.
"Yeah, the crystals are in the dungeon below Asaka but the entrance is outside Asaka," Jude said.
"So how are we going to get to it?" Tauriel asked.
"I'm going to look for the best route to the dungeon and if I succeed in finding a good route we will check it out tomorrow night but for now we're just going to send this message and just hope we get some kind of reply," Jude said, bringing out a scroll from his bag.
A few seconds after he had brought out the scroll, the crystals on the edges of the hole lit up and connected to form the triangular blue portal.
"I pray this works," Jude said before letting the scroll drop down the portal.
The sky was bright in Eukarion as the scroll slowly dropped from the sky until it had finally dropped to the side of the road.
