Chapter 162 Replay Please!
"But Luis…" Alicia hesitated. 'Is he going to reveal it?'
Luis could see the worry in Alicia's expression, and he understood what was happening inside her mind. So, with a faint smile, he assured.
"Just trust me on this, okay?"
After hearing this, Alicia nodded, but was still unsure. However, now that Luis had decided, she could only believe in and support him. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Okay, what do I have to do?" she asked with a firm expression.
"Make me a surfboard with your Ice. I want it to be very sturdy."
Luis' requirements made Alicia a bit confused. 'Is he going to surf for the rest of the way? Isn't the boat faster?' At first, she thought he was going to reveal his spatial magic. However, now it seems she was wrong. Luis had something else on his mind.
As the time was short, Alicia didn't waste any time asking questions and started using her Ice element to make a sturdy surfboard for Luis.
It didn't even take a few seconds for a stylish surfboard made of ice in its entirety to appear in everyone's sight.
"Here, this should work. Right?" Alicia handed over the Icy surfboard to Luis and he immediately took it from her while leaving a word of thanks.
"Yeah, it's perfect, thanks."
After that, he turned to face Diana and said, while positioning himself above the Surfboard. "Diana, throw me over!" He used his lightning to melt some of the ice and made himself rooted on the surfboard.
"Okay!" Without asking questions, Diana nodded and stepped forward to help.
"Jungle Karate: Gorilla Style Fist!"
Her palms and her arms swelled up, looking abnormal compared to the rest of her body. Diana lifted the Surfboard along with Luis, who was standing on top of it. Then, adjusting her grip and taking a better throwing stance, she asked, "Which direction?"
"There!"
Diana nodded then, using all her strength, she threw the surfboard along with Luis standing on top of it towards Tiger101.
Luis and the others' actions confused Kuro and the other officers. They wanted to ask what time limit they were talking about. However, none of the girls seemed to be in any mood to explain.
"What an interesting little guy…" Olivia mumbled while observing Luis, who was quite some distance away in the sea. 'Can he truly save them in the remaining time?' She was very interested to know.
*Swoosh! *
It was like a huge arrow was shot towards the sea as Luis's silhouette disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Luis and the others' actions confused Kuro and the other officers. They wanted to ask what time limit they were talking about. However, none of the girls seemed to be in any mood to explain.
"What an interesting little guy…" Olivia mumbled while observing Luis, who was quite some distance away in the sea. 'Can he truly save them in the remaining time?' She was very interested to know.
Alicia ignored Olivia's mumbling and looked over towards the sea with a neutral expression. Of course, her vision wasn't good enough to see his actions from this distance. So, she can only ask for Lily's help.
"Lily, can you use an available drone to send me Luis' video feed?"
{Yes, Sister Alicia. Just a second!}
"Huh? We can see the battle?! That's great!" Diana walked near Alicia to see the projection in the hologram. Just the thought of watching her self-proclaimed rival's battle made her very excited.
"Hoh, these button drones are indeed convenient. The technology of your fiancé's family is very extraordinary, Alicia." Olivia walked over and said with a smile. She wasn't lying when she said she was interested in it. However, she was more interested in making her current relationship with Alicia amiable.
From her observation, she could see that Alicia differed from how she initially thought her to be. If it continues like this and they keep having friction between them, then she might lose an excellent disciple like Alicia, who is not only talented but also a person with a character full of integrity.
Alicia just nodded with an 'um' and then ignored her. She wasn't willing to talk about Luis' technology with anyone unless he allowed it. Besides, the one talking was Olivia, so she was even more unwilling to talk with her.
When she saw her unresponsive attitude, Olivia didn't give up and asked. "Do they also sell these things? If they do, I am interested in purchasing it."
She thought Alicia might say a few words about it and that way she could start the conversation with her, giving her an opportunity to ease the tension between them.
However, she thought things too simply and was a little impatient with her approach, which made Alicia even more disgusted with her. So, she said with her tone full of irritation.
"Professor, although I know you are an irresponsible woman. Can you stop disturbing me right now? Luis is going to start the rescue. I must watch it. I don't have time for idle chatter with you, nor I am interested."
Her displeased expression with her voice full of irritation, plus her indifferent words offended Olivia.
"Hey, aren't you a bit too much?! I can understand that you want to watch him, and I disturbed you, but how am I an irresponsible woman?! Don't slander other people!"
Alicia looked at her unmoved and just asked one question that shut her up.
"If it's so, then where's Miss Mira?"
"…"
"Didn't you promise the mayor that you will keep her by your side and assure her safety?"
Olivia swallowed back the words she was about to say, and her eyes averted from Alicia.
"I… I... didn't forget. I-It's for her safety that I didn't take her to the sea."
Alicia just snorted without speaking. She had let Lily leave a button drone near Mira to monitor her safety. At least this way, she wouldn't be harmed because of someone else's irresponsibility.
"Damn, Luis, he looks so cool!"
Right then, Diana's exclamation brought her attention.
"What happened?!"
"Oh! Alicia! You didn't see it?!" Diana had a wide grin on her face and her eyes were ablaze with excitement. "Too bad you missed out on all the action. Luis was just amazing!"
Alicia swiftly looked at the screen and saw that Luis was already on the ship looking at the containers. Just like Diana said, the battle was over. 'I missed it?' Thinking so, her mood turned sour, and she glared at Olivia.
If she could, she really wanted to freeze this woman into an ice block and sink her into the ocean. However, she was still rational and knew the power difference between the two. So, after a sigh. She could only go with the next best option.
"Lily, you recorded it, right? Can you replay it to me?"
{Of course, Sis.}
With Lily's words, the scene in the hologram changed.
"Hehe, this time I'll observe it even more carefully!" Diana said with a grin, while clenching her fists in excitement. "I am still having difficulty believing how he did it."
Even Olivia became interested after hearing Diana's statement. Just now, because she was engaged in a conversation with Alicia, she had also missed everything.
So, under Olivia's curiosity, Alicia's anticipation and Diana's excitement. The video started playing.
***
Just after being thrown by Diana towards the sea. Luis felt a sense of weightlessness as, along with the surfboard, he started falling into the sea.
'Why am I being so impulsive just because of Alicia's words?'
'Ahh, whatever, since she trusts me so much. Why should I give up early when I still haven't tried my best?'
'What if I don't use my spatial magic? I can still do it without needing it!'
Just as he firmed his mind. Luis' eyes became sharp. Then just when the surfboard was about to splash on the sea's surface.
"Thunder Javelin!"
*Boom! *
He used the thunder javelin downwards, reducing the impact of his fall and propelling the surfboard forward using the waves created by the impact of the thunder javelin on the sea.
Needless to say, Luis wasn't planning on surfing all the way.
"Lily, how much time is left?"
{Master, 3 minutes 10 seconds.}
"I see." Luis nodded. Then looked at the ship using his perception in front of him. It was still around 2 miles away from him and slowly the distance was increasing as the ship moved forward.
'Although it's unfinished. Its basic features are fine. So, it should work from this distance.'
Thinking so, Luis inhaled and exhaled a deep breath.
"Phew, now let's hope it works."
"Discharge!"
Luis used his spell, and the lightning currents surrounded him. Then, the next moment, he used his next spell.
"Thunder Coating!"
*Boom! *
*Zzzt! *
Following a sudden burst of lightning, a dazzling golden figure steps into view. Luis' majestic golden body was glistening underneath the night sky and on the surface of the sea. His shining body attracted the attention of the traffickers on the ship. They observed the shining light with curiosity and wariness.
However, Luis didn't stop there. Under the effect of the Thunder Coating. He concentrated the lightning covering his body towards the transparent gloves he was wearing.
"Lily, keep tracking the amount of input."
{Just a little more and it's good to go… That's it!}
At her signal, Luis stopped injecting the lightning at the Magnus Gloves.
{It's ready Master! Have fun!}
