[132] "Teresa Whitehead v/s Jisuk Yoo"

Teresa spotted Jisuk and strode forward with determination.

Throwing him a smile, she introduced herself, "I am Teresa Whitehead and a member of Illuminati."

Jisuk raised an eyebrow, muttering, "Whitehead...?"

Teresa nodded.

"He represented Shinhwa. I'm Jisuk Yoo," Jisuk announced, pushing aside his thoughts about Teresa's last name.

Garrith frowned, pondering, 'I was right, that girl has some relation to Edward, and now I know her last name is the same.'

Everyone's gazes fell on the young men in the sand a few feet away.

Teresa's right hand became enveloped in a dark green aura as she aimed at Jisuk, blasting him with a blast of poison.

Quickly, Jisuk conjured a blast of wind to counter the attack.

Teresa brought the fingers of her hand together at one point and then spread them apart, releasing a green aura that polluted the air.

A shield of wind surrounded Jisuk, successfully protecting him.

A smile crossed Jisuk's face as he watched his defense keep him safe.

Meanwhile, Teresa watched Jisuk with disinterest, seemingly unconcerned about the outcome.

A wind began to swirl around Jisuk's feet, propelling his speed as he advanced a great distance with astonishing speed.

Teresa's eyes flashed as she managed to catch Jisuk's movements with some difficulty. Wasting no time, she decided to launch a sudden attack, executing three offensive moves in quick succession.

Jisuk skillfully evaded two of the attacks, slightly increasing his speed, but the third appeared directly in front of his eyes. Instantly, he encircled his hand with wind and upon contact with the attack, deflected it in another direction, causing it to impact the ground with a clatter.

Teresa frowned as she witnessed Jisuk vanish and reappear behind her.

Swiftly, a greenish liquid envelops Teresa's fingernails, gradually transforms them into sharp claws, and nimbly swings them backward without hesitation, surprising Jisuk, who manages to dodge them.

Teresa shows no intention of stopping, and with impressive speed, launches a series of scratches at Jisuk without giving him time to react.

Teresa's attacks hit the empty air without finding Jisuk at any point, but her gaze is quickly raised to the sky and there she sees Jisuk, surrounded by an impressive wind current and a powerful aura.

With a simple wave of his hand, Jisuk concentrates the surrounding wind, shaping it into a tornado that swiftly descends towards his opponent.

Teresa reacts quickly to the danger and raises both hands in the direction of the approaching tornado, creating a defensive shield to protect herself.

A explosion erupts as the tornado collides with the shield, raising a cloud of dust and generating a shockwave that creates a large gap in the ground.

Immediately, sharp poison spikes emerge at high speed from the dust cloud.

Jisuk is surprised and uses his wind ability to propel himself into the air, allowing the attacks to continue their trajectory without reaching their target. However, the attacks leave superficial cuts on his cheek, body and legs.

The dust dissipates completely and Teresa, with an imperturbable calm, fixes her gaze on Jisuk.

She raises her hand and clenches her fist with determination.

On the other hand, Jisuk experiences a sharp pain in his wounds and coughs up blood.

This turn of events takes everyone present surprised.

Iseul, Gangseok, Subin and the other WAA students watched Jisuk with concern.

Meanwhile, Arthur turns his gaze to Jisuk and thinks, 'His poison is taking effect'.

Duke and Cain also watch the confrontation with serious expressions on their faces.

"You still have quite limited combat experience, but that's surprising considering your age," Teresa commented with a mixture of recognition and assessment.

With an expression of determination on his face, Jisuk senses the entrance of a dark, evil substance into his system, which seems to weigh heavily on his blood. He closes his eyes and takes deep breaths to calm himself. He focuses his force control and feels a sharp pain as he directs his energy to collide with the invading poison.

A few seconds later, a dark green liquid begins to emanate from under his fingernails and falls to the ground.

Slowly, the falling liquid stops and Jisuk slowly opens his eyes, a smile emerging on his face.

Arthur watches in amazement at what has just happened and reflects. 'Removing the poison from his body... that will only deplete him further. Teresa released her poison into the environment and to protect herself, she must have a barrier active around her body. He must also be careful of Teresa's attacks, he will continue to feel the effects of the poison. You are expending a great deal of energy simply to prolong the confrontation'.

Subin smiles at how Jisuk manages to free himself from the poison.

"Not bad," Teresa commented as she observed that Jisuk had freed himself from the poison. She then continued, "I see you were taught to neutralize my poison, but in a real fight you would be dead by now. Closing your eyes in the middle of a confrontation is a big mistake and.... only prolongs the inevitable."

A dark green substance emerges on the ground, and Teresa raises her hand in the direction of the sky. The poison rises in the form of a wave upwards.

Jisuk acts quickly and creates an uncontrolled gust of wind that collides with the poison right in the middle point between the two.

An explosion reverberated throughout the place with a deafening roar, generating a violent shockwave that caused slight destruction and cracking of the surrounding environment.

As the dust dissipated, it became evident that a wall of energy, erected by the teachers, was protecting their students.

In addition, Jisuk could be made out on the ground, his body marked by numerous wounds and cuts that leaked drops of blood.

On the other hand, Teresa also had slight cuts on her body, from which blood was also gushing.

The atmosphere was charged with tension, and the gazes of those present remained fixed on the two young men.

The accumulation of the impact of the two previous defeats was reflected in their faces, and it was evident that this third confrontation also seemed to be heading towards a discouraging result.

Inhyuk watched Jisuk with a worried expression and reflected. 'These young men are spectacular. They are on a level above people of their generation.... If it were just one, it wouldn't be so amazing, but there are three of them. And there's still one we don't know about.'

Jisuk fixes his serious gaze on Teresa as he draws in a shaky breath, his thoughts racing. 'She's incredibly powerful... and did her eyes glow? Does she possess another ability?'

Meanwhile, Jiyoung, in a corner of the stands, watches the confrontation in silence.

"Shall we continue?" asks Teresa with a smile on her face.

"Of course, I'll take this seriously," Jisuk replies with a determined smile.

Teresa sighs, maintaining her smile, and her aura manifests around her again. Similarly, Jisuk's aura envelops him as well.

However, Jisuk vomits blood again and experiences how his eyes begin to cloud over. He struggles with all his might not to lose consciousness and thinks, dumbfounded, 'What is going on?'

Witnessing this, Teresa shakes her head and dispels her aura. She turns and walks over to where her companions are.

Jisuk watches Teresa as she walks away and shouts, "Where do you think you're going, the showdown isn't over yet!"

Teresa disregards the words and returns to her original position.

Seeing Jisuk's condition, Arthur thinks uncertainly. 'Wasn't his poison eliminated? No... it looks like he couldn't maintain enough concentration to neutralize it as soon as it entered his body'.

Inhyuk reflects. 'She didn't manage to maintain concentration the whole time to avoid the effects of the poison, but... her improvement in level and control of her power is really amazing.'

Seeing her arrive, Samantha smiles and asks, "How did it go?"

Teresa smiles and wipes the blood from her lips. "It went better than I expected. I discovered some of my weaknesses and finally understood why my brother was telling me that poisoning my enemies wasn't always the best option. I must analyze the situation first. If you don't waste energy unnecessarily," he replies as he expresses his thoughts.

James, Emily and Samantha smile in response.

Meanwhile, Lisa turns her gaze to James and comments, "He should get medical attention."

James sighs and replies gratefully, "Don't worry, I can hold my own."

Lisa nods without pressing the issue.

Jisuk staggers back to his position, staggering and feeling the fatigue in his body and the difficulty of staying conscious intensifies.

"You did well," Inhyuk commented.

Then, Jisuk clenched his fist and looked at Inhyuk with a determined expression. "Did I do well?" he replied in a defiant tone and then fainted and Inhyuk quickly affirms it.

Doctors arrive and take him to the infirmary.

This response surprised everyone present. Although no one responded immediately, everyone was aware of the difficult situation Jisuk was in. It was a situation similar to that of Gangseok and Sucheon, who had also been overpowered in their confrontations.

Subin, putting aside his usual playful attitude, took a firm step and walked towards the center of the arena.

Seongha watched Subin with concern and then turned his gaze to Emily, who was advancing with a relaxed attitude.
