Chapter 178
\"[Fireball]!\" Iris cast a spell at the instant when the fight started .
The fireball flew straight towards Al, but Al jumped aside evading it easily . He then closed the distance between him and Iris and swung his sword .
Iris paled . She hurriedly created a mana barrier that was almost instantly broken . At the same time, she created a wind arrow and shot it towards Al's face .
\"Hahahaha, is that everything you have?\" Al laughed mockingly and swatted the arrow aside . He then lifted his leg and kicked towards Iris .
\"Ugh!\" Iris hurriedly created a barrier and received the attack . Despite it, she was forced to take some steps back .
Al smirked, he punched the barrier again and broke it . Then, he continued with another slash .
Iris could only create another barrier in an attempt to stop him .
Unfortunately, this barrier did not last long either .
Iris was just a fourth-layer practitioner, one layer weaker than Al . And although the difference between layers was not everything in a fight, it was very important .
Only certain geniuses are able to surmount the mana layers to defeat someone stronger than them . Geniuses like them were either people talented in magic, with special battle techniques, or born with very special talents .
In fact, most nobles could easily face a commoner practitioner one layer higher due to their higher grade techniques .
But Iris was not someone used to combat . Although she had reached the fourth layer, her experience in combat was pitiful . In truth, she could lose even against an experienced third layer practitioner .
So, facing the stronger and more experience fifth-layer Al, Iris could barely protect herself while doing her best to find an opportunity .
Barrier after barrier were destroyed . In less than one minute, Al had destroyed more than ten barriers with a smirking look .
Even the students spectating the fight could see he was only playing with Iris . He could have ended the fight much earlier, but he wanted to humiliate her .
\"What is wrong, miss Iris? Can you only defend? You are such a coward, hahahaha…\"
Iris's eyes turned red . She looked at Al with a look of rage, but her eyes were shining with determination .
No matter how many barriers Al destroyed, she continued creating more . She could feel her mana depleting with each barrier she cast, but she persevered .
At the same time, she was casting a spell secretly .
She was very careful to not let Al realize anything . Iris was not very good at double-casting so it was very hard, but she forced herself to prevail and continued while gritting her teeth .
Second after second, minute after minute . Not caring about Al's words, she just focused on getting the victory .
*Clang!*
Another barrier was broken .
Iris took a few steps back and created another barrier .
As of now, Al's smile was as wide as it could be . The excitement of humiliating her enemy in public was exhilarating .
He looked at Iris and shook his head . \"Miss Iris, you can't retreat anymore . Another step back and you will leave the stage . \"
Iris did not reply . She bit her lips with a nervous expression . She was close, just a bit more of time .
However, Al misunderstood her expression as fear . He smiled in satisfaction and raised his sword .
\"Well, I was already getting bored with this chase . Miss Iris, do you have any last words . \"
Iris put on a cold look . \"Idiot . \" She said .
The smile disappeared from Al's face . He stared at Iris darkly and scowled .
