Chapter 237: Above the Cloud 12
Number 3 kicked the ground, rushing toward Naomi as some liquid from his body fell to the ground.
When the liquid touched the ground, it created a low hiss sound and melted it almost immediately, leaving a hole here and there.
Seeing what happened to the ground, Naomis eyes widened slightly before returning to normal.
Acid, is it? She looked at the boy, Number 3, with interest.
She had fought someone with poison ability before, and she must admit, they were weak in front of her Adjustment ability. She could make her body resist the poison, or rather, adjust her body to make the poison harmless.
But, she didnt know how well she would be able to defend against the Acid. Was her Telekinesis Barrier enough? Or could she control the Acid that got stuck on his body?
Or rather, the most important question was. How is he not injured with Acid all over his body? Does he have some sort of resistance to it? She asked herself.
At that moment, Number 3 had gotten close to her, right in front of her. Now, the only thing that separated Naomi from the acid was her thin Telekinesis Barrier that she made half-heartedly and could be broken rather easily.
She only made it around a quarter as strong as her usual Telekinesis Barrier, but it was enough to fight the trainees. Even though some of them were S-Ranked Esper, according to the pressure that she felt, they were still lacking in control over their abilities, probably even worse than Mischa.
So she was rather curious whether the acid could penetrate her barrier or not.
Number 3 covered his right fist with the dark green liquid and concentrated it, wrapping his fist to his wrist. It seemed like he could control the liquid freely. Maybe that was why he was fine with it covering his body.
After the liquid got concentrated around his fist, its color became closer to black, and then he punched the barrier.
Hah!
The fist met with the Telekinesis Barrier and stopped mid-air. The liquid that covered the fist scattered anywhere, but it couldnt penetrate Naomis barrier.
The ground around Naomi was full of holes. Some were big, and some were small. But all of them were deeper than the hole behind Number 3 caused by the liquid dripping from his body, showing how lethal the concentrated liquid was.
Impossible. My acid can dissolve anything. Number 3 said in disbelief. His eyes widened, he didnt believe that the barrier had stopped his attack.
Not my ability, it seems. Naomi sneered. Just go back and let your friend do their job, okay? She shooed him away with her right hand.
Number 3 was clearly angry. A vein popped up at his temple.
All 20 trainees were chosen by Tetsuma directly because of their skills. They were the best, and their numbers determined their rank in the team.
So, as Number 3, the third strongest on the team, he felt offended to be told that he needed to go back and let his friend do their job.
He had never faced this kind of humiliation since he was installed on this elite team.
Not yet! Number 3 stepped back.
Then, he stretched his arms forward, facing Naomi directly.
Oh? Naomi let out a low sound of interest.
From Number 3s body, a huge amount of acid appeared, seeping out from his skin. It slowly made its way toward the front of his hands, creating a big ball of acid liquid.
The liquid slowly accumulated. He had realized that Naomi never attacked first, so he took his time to create a huge amount of acid first to secure his victory
Number 2! Number 3 shouted as he launched the ball of acid toward Naomi.
It hit the barrier and covered the spherical barrier that Naomi made around herself, blocking her vision.
This is quite a good tactic. She mused, praising the tactic that Number 3 used.
With just one look, she immediately knew a rough plan that Number 3 had made. He even shouted at his ally earlier.
Hmm, so its like that. As soon as the liquid that covered my vision is gone, I will see either the ability of the one called Number 2, or they somehow managed to see the weak side of my barrier and concentrated their attack on it. Or at least that will be their plan, right? Naomi guessed in her mind.
Lets see which one that they pulled.
She waved her hand, using her Telekinesis to push all the liquid away. It was pushed away in all directions, but then Naomi realized that her vision was still dark.
I am trapped?
Unexpectedly, she was trapped inside a kind of metal square. The acid that she pushed away earlier slowly corroded it. One part of the metal that trapped her got corroded faster, and she turned to look at that place.
At that moment, the other side of the metal suddenly opened, and a shout was heard from outside.
Take this! The voice belonged to the girl called Number 1, the one who ordered the trainees around.
Following the shout, a loud sound of thunder rang on the training ground, taking Naomis attention to it. Right after the sound, a flash of big lightning hit Naomis Telekinesis Barrier, the back side of it.
As soon as it made contact with Naomis barrier, the lightning exploded and sparked around the metal square. The opened part of the metal square was closed instantly as the lightning spark kept dancing inside, bouncing around and hitting the Telekinesis Barrier.
They did something really good. Naomi smiled. This is why I love an Esper fight.
Naomi raised her hand and lifted the metal square to the sky with her Telekinesis. She didnt need to exert a lot of strength to do it.
But as soon as she could see outside again, she was greeted by a barrage of attacks from the trainees.
The boy called Number 2 planted his hands on the ground, controlling the iron sand around the training ground. That was what he used to trap Naomi, but then, the iron sand had decreased by a lot after Naomi launched the big square of metal into the sky, so he had some difficulties.
Naomi was happy to see their teamwork. Various kinds of abilities hit her barrier, slowly chipping away the barriers defense. She even needed to put a little bit more power into it to defend against the barrage of those S-Ranked Espers.
The one called Number 1 was an SS-Ranked Esper. Number 1 had good control over her abilities that she could somehow fake her Esper pressure to a Rank below, just like what Melaine did when she faked her power level from Mischa and Hotaru.
I want to play more, but then My father asked me to discipline them. Well, it cant be helped.
You guys are good But, thats not enough. Naomi snapped her finger, then the trainees attack suddenly stopped. Their bodies trembled. They couldnt even say anything but a low gasp.
I hope this will serve as a lesson. She grinned before pointing to the sky. At the same time, the trainees were thrown into the sky until they couldnt be seen.
Tetsuma, seeing what his daughter did from the side, held his head and sighed. She did it too far
The trainees that were defeated by Naomi earlier had regained consciousness and saw what she did to the other trainees.
Silently, they thought to themselves.
I am glad that I lost consciousness!
