Suddenly when Nebula and Cellena resting, a girl came and challenge her for a Duel Of Honor which is like a story and a really foolish act but the situation force itself on her so Nebula have to act on the place so before Cellena can reall interven she accept it,

A duel of honor is special challenge in which one Commoner or Nobel can challenge another Nobel, beating any one is see as an Honor and defeat is a shame, one can become alone in whole university and can get their Nobel title if get defeated

However there are some rules :

First, One can reject the offer if the challenger is higher or of equal rank.

Second, If one of the person is highly injured and can't use powers.

Third, The two have to be in same year and Department.

Four, The battle will be between equal types of person means Mage with Mage, Warrior with Warrior, Alchemist with Alchemist and so like that.

Other than there is some minor rules with strict restrictions

'It will give me some extra time to prepare and talk with Cella, she knew something'

Nebula thought about it because she don't know, why she challenge her?, she is her classmate but there is no particular thing with her she knew, she just can't remember

"I HATE HER" A voice came out of her,

"Why you hate her?"Nebula ask the spirit back

"Ask your Friend"

Nebula see towards Cellena who with her going towards the practice ground in a special room where one can prepare oneself for battle

Cellena who kept her mouth shut but the anger and hatred can be seen on her face, she looks like she will jump and beat that girl

"Cellena."

"Her name is Liana, a low level Nobel sponsored by some higher Nobel"

Cellena currently not moving her eyes or neck

"OK, so."

"She is the one attack you, I can't understand, how she is here?"

This statement makes Nebula halt for a moment, her mind running at high speed

"You want to say"

"Right, it's a conspiracy set by someone with enough power and influence"

"Yeah, now I see no professor around"

"So what's the plan, how can you handle her"

"Isn't it obvious, she don't know about me and also not others, they want to see my powers so I will show them"

Nebula reply confidently

"Are you serious?"

"yeah, I am"

Cellena who is rubbing her eyes in frustration "She is Mid level Magic Caster, can use dual element Light and Earth, also have Mid rank low level Nature Spirit"

Nebula now become doubt herself

"Ah, ah.., I can still handle it"

"We can do it" A voice came from inside of Nebula which is also listened by Cellena

"we or I can do it if you gave me control"

The spirit appears before her and now shinning in some way this shock them

" wow, what is happening" Cellena ask

" I am just adjusting her body according to my powers and create some changes for use of my abilities" The spirit ask

"Huh, what are yo.." Nebula hold Cellena's words and ask "am I ready?"

"I strengthen your body and create power circle in your body so you can use my powers, I have complete it" The spirit tell her Cellena who is also listening is getting confused " Now my Non-Element Energy can be use by you at will"

Cellena who is listening to this "I go and see the situation" and so she get out hastily

" Celestial, call me Celestial" Nebula want to ask him question but before it the spirit said it told it's name

" Celestial" Nebula call it and her eyes widen, she feel heat and a little uncomfortable, sweat coming flowing like river which continue for few seconds until she become normal,

She after it start moving her body and she understand, a huge amount of knowledge and Energy flowing through her body and it feels really amazing

" Now I am ready, let's go Celestial, break their pride and plan"

" Yeah, I will love it"

At the battle ground,

Everyone is waiting silently waiting with some whispers getting between them time to time

" Why is she taking so much time or is she get feared"

"Shut up, she only get out of healing room less than 2 hour ago and you still talking like that" Cellena due to her nature start manipulation

"Haa, whatever it's a tradition, if she haven't came, she will loose it" Cellena who seeing the crowd speak more loudly

" How Dare You, After Nearly Killing Her At Time Of Ritual, You Still Talk Like This" She enraged and with flying hair and raging wings said this

" Haa, Now call her or I see it as my win"

" yo.."

This Verbal war is halt with a voice that attract everyone's attention

" Now, stop it Cellena and start the match"

Nebula who is getting on the ground speak and attract everyone's attention

" So you have come"

" huh"

"Why are you smiling"

"I, just thinking what face you will make when I completely beat you"

" Huh, such big words, I will show you that you are nothing but a trash in Nobel's Name"

The whole crowd cheer and see with amusement because for them it's an entertainment and no one care about them one bit,

In ground a plant grow out of soil and turn into a plant, an insect eating flower with thorns on it's vines that can be dangerous, it's Liana's summon standing before her while Nebula standing alone

"Why don't you call your spirit or you don't have it"

Liana taunt Nebula but it rise the question in crowd why haven't she call her spirit

"Do you think, I need to summon my spirit to defeat someone like you, I can do it on my own, I don't need it"

Nebula said it and signal Cellena to start the battle

" Pathetic, I will destroy your pride"

The Plant spirit do a horizontal slash

"Huh, I am shaking" unexpectedly Nebula instantly take a step back and easily dodge the attack

" Cheh, lucky, attack more" Liana command ' Tear her apart'

After it multiple whip attacks left, right, up,down from all sides came but unexpectedly Nebula at last moment move at fast speed easily dodge without a sweat

'How is she doing it' Cellena though it and it also in everyone's mind however there is big cheering for Liana

"Aaah, you kill her"

After showing frustration, On this command it's vines binds both of Nebula's hands and legs, everyone think it as the end for Nebula,she is unable to move

Suddenly fire surround her covering all of her body stop the vines from attack

"Aaahhh.." The Plant monster cry from pain and retracted its vines,

" wow, do you really use a plant monster against me, A Fire User, Genius " Nebula tease her

" kill her {Poison Thorn}"

Liana command to use a skill to her summon and it attack with multiple thorns that can paralyzed someone on Nebula however it's also a mistake

{Dark Shield} a shield made of completely dark Energy materialized before her and easily stop all the thorns, any Thorn strike it loose all of it's powers and remain stuck in it,

Nebula taking advantage of this in the air [Mana Blast]

Nebula use a spell that blast her Mana like an explosion from hand, however now it combined with Shield made by her energy blast Dark Energy, poison thorns and shock wave, it push both Liana and her summon, while the plant fly away and weaken with dark energy, the poison dart and dark energy weaken Liana

"Aaaahhhh"

A painful cry

"Huh, such big words and all you can do this" Nebula saying it slowly going towards Liana who can't even get up, she try but due to shock and the attack currently unable

There are big cheering from the crowd who is both amazed and exited by this amazing one side win, Cellena who is also shock by this suddenly came to her senses

"Now, as challenger Liana can't move, Lady Nebula Dark Flame is the WI.., what the, hey, it's, You are breaking the laws" Cellena who is announcing this stop when she see and change the words

After the battle when Nebula knew she already won, she go near Liana so she can talk but them " What are you doing"

A plant's green vine came out of ground and bind Nebula's feet, make her unable to move, then she see a big smile on Liana's face a spell circle glow on the ground under her and a dense beam of light shot out

'Oh, Ancestors' Nebula want to jump back immediately but unable to do, so she have to endure it, A dome of light that envelope both of them and makes anyone unable to enter

" It's [Divine Dome], how have you have it, it's a high level Mid rank Magic that not anyone can do, only High level Temple Priest can do it" Nebula said it covering herself from the energy, see how Laila is getting up, her body recover and now get a boost in power due to this spell

" Now, I will show you my true power" Laila take a ring out of her dress

"Let me have her" A voice came out of Nebula and then she nod, loose her body a little bit

"This is your End" Laila create a dense beam of light that go extremely fast powered by the effect of spell become extremely strong surpass her power limit

Laila was smiling, she see Nebula who is not moving and smiling then " Swish"

A voice she heard and a dark light she see unable to understand, she now seeing a dark figure, Nebula covering in darkness and holding a blade also cover in darkness, her swing of this sword cut through her spell attack

Unable to process the situation, Liana stand still flinch a bit and see Nebula take a step towards her,

"[Earth Spike]" Liana said and spikes from earth go towards Nebula who stomp her feet and create a blast using concentrate fire energy to go near her and

" Good, Now Sleep, {Strong Attack}" Nebula covering her hand in dark energy use a skill to increase the power of her punch amd hit Liana's stomach

" Ack" Liana who hit by the punch due to shock and Dark energy fell on ground and loose her consciousness "Crack"

The area for Nebula's joy become less bright, the spell broke and she appear in ground again

" Woah, it's Nebula"

" What actually happened"

" Is she really win"

These are words from crowd but Nebula doesn't care about it because

"Nebu, are you ok?, is there any problem?" Cellena who hug her friend and actually worried about her while Nebula seeing this smile, she get back normal and enjoy this moment

" Nothing but a weakness from using too much power, I just need to rest" Nebula reply and see towards Liana who is on ground unconscious

Then suddenly Nebula and Cellena both see at a side where the crowd is parting itself and two people came in the ground

They see towards Nebula and Cellena like analyzing all things, then they move towards Liana, it's a male and Female student, the female summon a massive golem who pick up Liana

" We student council take care of it and be careful, don't create a commotion like this next time"

" Hey, it's not my fault, she start it" Nebula shout at the boy from student council, who try to shift the fault on her

"We will investigate it" He reply

" You"

" Nebula Let's go, you need rest" Cellena said

" yeah, right" Nebula also said it and go with Cellena

While going towards the room, they talk with eyes so no one can listen to them and after few minutes they reach at their place

"Now, no one will listen, so you think" Cellena ask

" Yes, I am sure, she was not that much strong, someone help her" Nebula reply with great confidence

"Do you think it's someone from student council"

"I don't know but it is someone with power and influence who have connection to temple" These words shock Cellena because it means she have to be cautious and the future will be hard

" Let's forgot this and tell me how you defeat her, how can you move like that"

" Fine, only for you"

Somewhere,

In a luxurious room, we can see a boy drinking tea while listening to a report by another boy

" So the plan failed"

" yes, she somehow become more powerful and use magic with more versatility"

" So what type of spirit she have"

" we don't know yet"

" Clack" that person put cup on the glass table and see towards the other boy like he will kill him with just a look

" So what about her"

" Ah, yes, we take care of her"

" Fine, next time prepare more, now go"

" yes"

The other boy go and we can see a big creepy smile on his face "Now the fun really start"
