A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

Chapter 54: Fighting Jennifer

"Nice" Deylina said in a shocked tone.

After the doing fifty squats that she was commanded to do, Helena stopped.

Then she laid with her back on the ground to rest.

Not that she was feeling weak, but because she just wanted to lie on the ground.

She still had enough energy to do more than three hundred squats more with Deylina's strange method of counting.

"I am impressed" Deylina said.

Then she asked as she looked at Helena strangely "Did you use magic on yourself?"

"No. Why would I? That's cheating. And I am not someone to partake in that." Helena said in a way that one wouldn't detect she was telling a lie.

"Oh. I am just surprised where the energy came from" Deylina said.

Then she continued "Since you can easily do fifty squats now, then when you come here again for your training, you would do hundred to two hundred squats. Yea, I have increased it. And no, don't see me as a wicked instructor. I just want your legs to be firm and strong. Then after I am done building your legs to a stage where I want them to be, we would move on to develop your upper body. Cool right?"

Ugh!

Helena's face spoiled.

She had just ruined herself.

Would she now be using magic on herself every time she comes here for training?

Helena asked inwardly.

'I would die the day she finds out that I am using magic to enhance myself" She said within herself.

With a broad smile in her face which concealed her unhappiness, she nodded in approval to what Deylina said.

"Good!" Deylina said.

Then she continued "You have done well today. You can go and rest. Make sure you rest. Don't do any other thing. It is important for you to rest so your leg muscles can recover lost energy and begin to grow."

Helena nodded.

But just as she was about to leave, Jennifer appeared in front of her.

"Hey, cute little bitch. Were where you yesterday? I banged on your door three good times but you refused to show yourself. Is that how cowardly you are?" She asked.

Helena looked at Jennifer and said "Ugly old bitch, I have no idea what you are talking about."

Haha!

Jennifer grinned.

"You want to pretend like you don't know what I am talking about? Eh?" She asked.

Then before Helena could talk, Jennifer said out loud so everyone would hear.

"I believe most of us were around when I went to Helena's door yesterday to bang on it so she could come outside to face me. But did the little bitch appear?" She asked.

"No!" A lot of people replied at the same time.

Jennifer then looked at Helena and said "So you see, it shows that you are a little liar and a coward."

"No, I am not" Helena defended herself.

"I wasn't around when that happened" She said further.

"Of course you wouldn't be around, you little liar" Jennifer said.

Then she said further "Anyways, I came to your place yesterday to duel with you. But since you are here now, let's have the duel."

"Or what do you think, folks?" She asked the crowd that had quickly gathered around them with boiling excitement in their eyes.

They were eager to see a battle between Jennifer and Helena.

"Sure. You guys should have a duel" Someone from the crowd delightedly said while everyone nodded their head in approval.

Jennifer looked at Helena and cracked the bones of her hands before clenching them into fists.

Helena exhaled deeply.

She was doomed!

She had unintentionally turned all the Aetha energy flowing in her body into an energy that she could utilize to do the squats that Deylina instructed her to do.

And she couldn't give up this fight or everyone would label her as a coward and trash, and that she was totally undeserving of the great title that she was given.

Helena began to sweat despite the chilly wind that blew around them at the moment.

"Wait, why should we have a duel here? There would be nothing to gain from dueling here." Helena said.

Then before Jennifer could speak, Helena said further "Besides, my leg muscles are fatigued. So why don't you come tomorrow evening and let's fight it out once and for all. And if you can win the fight, i promise to bow to you sixty times and do everything you want for six months. But if I beat you, you would do the same. You would bow to me sixty times and do everything that I ask of you for six months."

Jennifer surprisingly grinned.

"Well, it seems fair." She said.

She could imagine the girl seen as the Chosen One by everyone bowing to her sixty times and doing everything that she demands, like watching her dresses, massaging her body for hours every day and night and so on.

After she was done visualizing which only took a few seconds, she said with a voice that invoked unyielding determination "I accept your challenge, little bitch. However, we still have to fight here. Let's entertain everyone that have gathered around us. They have been hoping for even a brief or small fight between us."

'Ugh! What a bitch' Helena uttered in displeasure.

"Alright. Since you still want to have a go at me, you can come" Helena said without fear in her tone.

She was now going to try her best to defend, instead of attacking which would drain all of her energy and leave her at the mercy of the lofty and arrogant Jennifer.

Jennifer who was an Earth-level Spellcaster and had mastered many spells didn't need to even utter a single anciently chant. She could directly unleash a magical attack just by thinking about it.

The instant she aimed her palm at Jennifer, a large ball of scarlet flame shot out of it towards Helena who prepared to block.

But upon seeing the size of the flaming ball, Helena knew this was something that she didn't have enough Aetha energy to create a solid construct to block.

Instantly, she leapt away from the path the ball of fire was moving in.

As soon as Helena jumped away, the ball arrived at her previous spot and exploded into a massive, mushroom-shaped cloud of scarlet fire that dyed the ground and everything in it scarlet. Also, it radiated a strong sweltering heat that caused everyone to quickly move back, or they could get burnt.

Helena who was still in the range of the explosion was seriously affected by the intense heat put out by the solid ball of fire when it exploded into a large flame that took the shape of a mushroom.

Parts of her skin were badly burnt and she experienced strong, painful stinging sensations all over her body.

Seeing how she had dealt with Helena in just an attack, Jennifer laughed.

"Is this Chosen One? So useless!" She said and laughed.

Everyone, including the instructors on the training field were deeply surprised at how Helena couldn't block an earth-level fire spell.

'What's wrong?' They asked within themselves.

Helena who tried her best to endure the agonizing burning sensations that flooded her senses stood to her feet to retaliate.

"Draconimus Frostia" She uttered.

Immediately she uttered that spell and aimed one of her hands at Jennifer, a large snow-white dragon that caused the temperature of the surrounding to instantly plummet to sub-zero degrees leapt out of her hand. And as if it this pure white dragon alive, it roared in rage as it shot towards Jennifer.

Jennifer gave a smile upon seeing how weak Helena's attack was.

The seemingly real dragon that had intense coldness emanating from it body wasn't properly developed. It was like it could dissipate away in the next instant. Also, numerous cracks could be seen all over the surface of it body and it was very dim, giving the absolute feeling that it was a very weak attack.

With a finger pointed at it, a dark purple pillar of arcane energy which caused the air to roil and rip apart in it path shot off Jennifer's fingers and smashed into the dragon-shaped Ice attack.

Bang!

A loud bang sound rang out and the Ice attack that Helena formed from the little Aetha energy in her body shattered into smithereens.

It was like a rock was thrown hard at a huge glass.

While the dark purple beam of magical energy unleashed from Jennifer's index finger still shot at high speed towards Helena.

However, before Helena could do anything like block or evade, Deylina appeared before her in a flash and sent her fist at the beam.

Boom!

An ear-aching boom sound rang out while the pillar-sized beam of magical energy shattered into smithereens before rapidly dispersing away.

Haha!

Jennifer grinned.

"So weak. Even an instructor had to step in to save you from my onslaught. And it's you who wanna fight me tomorrow? Just admit that you have lost and beg me to become my loyal blood servant. Beg me to become my 'Chosen Servant'. Haha. See, little bitch. Please spare yourself the shame and embarrassment that you would bring upon by yourself by fighting me and losing woefully. When you become my humble slave, no one would dare look down upon you, I promise." Jennifer said harshly and in an obvious mocking tone.

Scoffs!

Helena scoffed.

"All of you, leave here this moment. Go back to your rooms." Deylina said angrily.

Then everyone began to leave.

But as they left, they chattered about how useless and trashy the so-called 'Chosen One', Helena was.

When everyone had left, Deylina turned to face Helena with a gaze that she couldn't quite describe.

She however knew that she was in it this time.
