4 July 2018

  Currently, Neo, Yuki, and Claudia are all standing on top of a giant bird made of ice created by Yuki. Neo and Yuki are standing next to each other, and Claudia stands against them. The giant bird of ice is also floating stably in midair. They are in the middle of the ocean, which was frozen by Yuki in all directions. She also erupted thousands of ice towers whose heights reach above the clouds. It's also snowing in the entirety of the frozen sea.

  Neo was experiencing a painful memory. Yuki, who's next to her, immediately noticed him. She rubs his back multiple times to ease him.

  "Senpai, it's okay. You're doing better than before. I'm right here."

  *pant pant*

  "Thank you, kouhai-kun. . ."

  ". . . .What is this? Does that loser need to be pampered all the time by a babysitter? No wonder he's a wimp! What a loser! Just the mere sight of him is making me----!!!"

  All of a sudden, Claudia was trapped and engulfed inside a thick layer of ice.

  "I thought I told you not to mock my beloved."

  *Ssssssssssshhhh*

  Claudia tried to break free from the ice again by spawning magma from all over her body.

  "Senpai."

  Yuki asks Neo to jump to another giant bird of ice next to it. They both jumped over, and Yuki immediately crumbled the big bird of ice where Claudia stood.

  When Claudia was still trying to break free, she was falling fast towards the frozen sea below. But then she saw, while still being inside the ice, a giant hand made out of ice, clenched into a fist, coming down fast towards her. The giant hand was about 80 meters in length and 10 meters in diameter.

  *BAAM*

  The giant hand punches the frozen Claudia down and drags her downwards towards the frozen sea.

  *GRAHK*

  The punch connects with the ice below, and it cracks the ice in a 10-meter radius. And then the giant hand of ice crumbles into big pieces of ice, falling onto her.

  But then a big magma ball erupted from under all of that ice and melted all the ice away except the frozen sea below Claudia's feet. Claudia also appeared on top of the ball of magma.

  "AH! That was great, Yuki-san! I've been holding myself back because I'm afraid your level of Faith power wouldn't be able to match mine! That would be one hell of a boring battle if I were to overpower you instantly. I wanted to know your capabilities, you see! LET'S SEE YOU HANDLE THIS THEN!!!"

  Claudia lifts both of her arms up, and the magma ball she's standing on suddenly bursts into flowing lava. The volume of the lava, however, did not match the size of the magma ball. The lava kept flowing in a massive size that it looked like a giant lava tsunami. The lava tsunami was 30 meters in height and was 100 meters in width. The falling snow melts when they're about 2 meters above the giant lava tsunami.

  “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" laughs Claudia.

  “Her Faith power is impressive. That massive scale of magma. . . Can you handle her, kouhai?"

  Neo looks towards Yuki.

  "Eh?"

  He was surprised to find that Yuki was puckering her mouth, but with the same neutral expression on her face, looking towards him.

  "Senpai, this entire frozen sea is literally bigger in scale than that puny lava. Please trust your kouhai a lot more. Stupid beloved senpai."

  Yuki jumps off the giant flying ice bird, leaving Neo alone.

  "She can be that cute while being angry. . ."

  Neo couldn't help but find Yuki adorable as his face turned red a bit.

  The giant ice bird in midair stays at about half the height of the giant lava tsunami. Yuki summons a pair of ice draconic wings on her back, and she lands safely on the ice below. She discards her wings and immediately runs towards the giant lava tsunami with no fear.

  She raises her right hand, and it freezes, but she can still freely move it. Yuki opens her palm and strikes the giant lava tsunami on the bottom.

  The entire lava tsunami freezes in an instant. Claudia jumps off the frozen lava tsunami immediately towards Yuki below.

  "Girl, your faith power really is insane!!" compliments Claudia.

  She opens her hands, and a big trident made of magma appears with a length of 2 meters and a width of 1 meter on its head. It has three arrowhead-shaped blades on the head. She lunges downwards with the magma trident in her hands.

  Yuki slides away from her spot on the ice and completely dodges Claudia's downward lunge. Claudia's magma trident stabs deep into the ice.

  "Huh? My giant tsunami did not affect the ice below, but my trident does? Now I know how much heat I need to counter your ice!" smirks Claudia.

  "I apologize, but I can go much colder."

  Yuki creates two dragon heads on her shoulders. She also creates a dragon head on her right palm with its mouth open. And then a katana made of ice slides out of it. The dragon head bites and holds the katana right on its handle. The katana has a more vibrant blue colour than the rest of her ice. Its temperature is a lot cooler than any ice she has ever created in this fight. White hazes are oozing from her vibrant blue katana.

  "Okay, okay! I've been excited for a while! We've been fighting with our creations this whole time. TIME TO HAVE AN EXERCISE, YUKI-SAN!!

  Claudia creates magma, and it covers both of her feet, acting like a pair of shoes. The magma shoes burst out small flame explosions, and it launches Claudia forwards as she also thrusts her magma trident forward. Yuki floats above the snow just a tiny bit, and then she flies forward with her pair of draconic wings. She also thrusts forward her vibrant blue katana.

  Yuki's vibrant blue katana and Claudia's magma trident clash, and it sends shockwaves across the entirety of the frozen sea, and it even shakes the thousand towers of ice a bit.

  Then both of them jump away from each other, creating a distance. Claudia checks on her trident while Yuki checks on her katana.

  "Not even a dent, or more accurately, nothing seems to have happened to both of our weapons. This is amazing, Yuki-san! LET'S DO MORE!!"

  Claudia jumps forward again with her magma shoes, and Yuki flies forward as well. Yuki swings her katana diagonally downwards, and Claudia swings her trident diagonally upwards. Their weapons clash, and it pushes both of them back just a tiny bit. Yuki recovers faster than Claudia, and she flies and thrusts her sword forward towards Claudia. Claudia pushes her trident sideways and catches Yuki's katana with the trident's head, safely blocking Yuki's attack. Yuki creates another dragon head on her left hand in an instant, and she thrusts her left hand forwards, and the same vibrant blue katana slides out of it towards Claudia's side. Claudia spins around and lifts her left hand. She creates a magma shield on her left hand and blocks Yuki's katana. Claudia bashes away Yuki's left katana with her magma shield. Claudia lunges forward and thrusts her magma trident towards Yuki's stomach. Yuki swung her right katana, and it was caught in the middle of the head trident. Claudia immediately swings her trident upwards and swings Yuki's katana away from her hand upwards as well, leaving her open. Yuki tried to block with her left katana, but she realized Claudia actually threw her trident upwards, and she had spawned another trident in her right hand and had already thrust her trident forward. Yuki hastily blocked the trident with her left katana. Claudia's trident was only a few centimetres away from piercing Yuki's stomach. Claudia smirked, and Yuki noticed immediately, Claudia's trident shoots jet streams of flowing lava from the three tips of the trident head in almost point-blank range towards Yuki's stomach. The three jet streams of lava hit Yuki's shirt, but it suddenly ricocheted away. The lava jet stream did burn Yuki's clothes, but Yuki creates a vibrant blue ice cover on her stomach under her clothes to block Claudia's jet stream of lava, the same vibrant blue ice as her katanas. Yuki immediately thrusts forward with her katana. Claudia dodges her at the last second, but Yuki's katana grazes her right shoulder.

  "URGH!!"

  Claudia is now positioned lower than Yuki, and her head is also near Yuki's feet now. Yuki freezes her left foot and kicks Claudia's head away. Claudia, at the very last second, covers her face with a thick amount of magma. The magma absorbed all of the damage and half of the impact, so Claudia was still sent flying, but just a bit away from Yuki. When Claudia was trying to recover, Yuki was already in front of her again with her right katana facing upwards. Yuki swings her katana down towards Claudia's torso. Claudia discards her trident and shield; she covers both of her hands with thick amounts of magma. Claudia catches Yuki's right katana with both of her thick-layered magma hands. But then Yuki's katana glows in deep blue, and Claudia's magma hand gets frozen in its entirety, causing both of her hands to get stuck in place.

  "Tch!"

  Claudia tried to raise the temperature of her magma to break free, but then realized Yuki was no longer in front of her. Yuki was suddenly next to her with a newly created vibrant blue katana placed near her neck.

  "It's over, 9th Strongest-san!"

  "Oh. . ."

  "Well, you got me, your close combat capabilities are better than mine, you won this round, Judge-san. . . But not Faith-power-wise though!!" says Claudia as she gives off a smile.

  *!!!*

  All of a sudden, magma explodes from every part of Claudia's body. Yuki tried to fly away as soon as possible, but her left forearm got burned by the magma a bit.

  "Ugh. . ."

  Yuki flew towards the sky until she was 20 meters above the frozen sea. She turned around and looked below and saw that the entire frozen sea was now covered entirely by magma in such a short amount of time. Now the falling snow is no longer falling towards the frozen sea as it vaporizes upon reaching two meters above the magma. The glow from the magma brightens up the entire frozen sea as well as its previously darker atmosphere because of the snow clouds blocking the sunlight.

  Yuki checks her left forearm, her cardigan, and her sleeves. They were completely burnt away, and her skin is now exposed with a burnt wound as well. Yuki freezes her burnt wound to ease the pain.

  "Yuki-san, I'm really impressed! I truly do! I haven't been able to express my Faith power to this extent against just about anyone. I am grateful to have met you here! It is times like these when I can unleash my Faith power towards its full potential that I get to feel truly alive! I HAVE NOTHING BUT GRATITUDE TO YOU, YUKI-SAN!! LET'S GO EVEN FURTHER!!"

  Claudia puts her palms together, and then from the entirety of the magma pools covering the entire frozen sea, tens of thousands of hands the size of a school bus made of magma came out and raised above the ice.

  *!!!*

  Claudia suddenly launches tens of thousands of magma fists all towards Yuki from different angles and directions. Yuki dodges the first ten of magma by simply dodging them in midair. And then she also dodges another 15 in midair by flying around. Then there are 25 of them coming towards her, and she tried to destroy the magma hands, but when she strikes one of them, before she even makes contact, the magma immediately explodes and bursts into smaller lava spouts that spread everywhere in all directions.

  Yuki got burned a bit by some of the lava spouts on her right legs, left waist, and right cheek. The magma fist exploding startled Yuki, and she got hit directly by the next magma fist.

  "Ukh."

  Bits of her blue cardigan and parts of her wings got burned a bit. But then, when she still tried to recover, 30 of Claudia's magma fists came after her.

  *!*

  *BOOM*

  All at the same time, the 30 magma fists that were near Yuki's vicinity exploded into smaller lava spouts.

  "KOUHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIII!!!"

  Neo was screaming at the top of his lungs, seeing what happened. There was a smoke trail coming off from the earlier explosions, falling directly towards the pool of magma below.

  When the smoke cleared, it was revealed to both Claudia and Neo that Yuki had covered herself in a giant ball of ice. The giant ball of ice is standing on top of the pool of magma below.

  "*Sigh* That's a relief. . ."

  "Hoooo. . . Okay then, what are you gonna do about this now?"

  The remaining magma fists change direction towards the giant ball of ice below. Claudia sends tens of thousands of her magma fists to hit the giant ball of ice in perfect consecutive rhymes. The magma fists only connect one at the time and the duration between one fist connecting to the next one is only about one second each, so until all of Claudia's arsenal of magma fists were to exhausted entirely, Yuki would have to hold on inside her giant ball of ice for more than 10,000 seconds, which is equal to about 2 hours 46 minutes and 40 seconds roughly. But what Yuki didn't realize was that the temperature of the magma fist increases for each consecutive connecting fists, so no matter how strong her ice ball is, it's gonna melt, and then Yuki would be hit directly by the remaining thousands of magma fists.

  "LET'S SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN HOLD ON, YUKI-SAN!! TRAPPING YOURSELVES INTO A BALL WAS A REALLY DUMB MOVE!!"

  And then Claudia's magma starts raining down towards the giant ball of ice in the intended rhyme of one connecting fist per second. The shower of magma fists has started, and Yuki, who's inside the ball of ice, strengthens her ice after every second it gets hit by the magma fists.
