The shock blew small stones upward like jumping insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground under their feet shook from the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra jumped back with a light laugh, turning her body in a smooth spin as she swung her whip toward Carliat’s ankle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spikes stretched long, almost doubling in length as they tried to wrap around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat slid to the side as her glowing whip bent naturally with the world itself, curving around Selindra’s strike in a perfect arc before snapping forward toward Selindra’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra ducked, her hair brushing the stone as she twisted under the attack, and flicked her weapon upward with a quick motion that sent the spiked chain climbing like a hungry vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Carliat swung her whip downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAAAM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white light smashed into the pink spikes, and a shockwave rolled across the arena. Students in the front row had to shield their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra pushed forward again, her authority pulsing with every breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena lights dimmed slightly as her energy pulled the air inward, making her movements faster and more fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat responded by raising her free hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed two fingers together, and space bent around her weapon, making its strikes twist at impossible angles, curving sideways or even backward as if the whip had a mind of its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra’s smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More... show me more...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a bold step and launched herself into a spin, her whip stretching into a long spiral that wrapped the whole area in pink light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat slid under it, her glowing whip slashing upward in a fast arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK, CRACK, CRACK!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their weapons clashed three times in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks burst around them every time their weapons met, pink and white scattering together, mixing, fighting, and then fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the exchange kept going, a change started to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat’s movements slowly grew sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her steps were no longer slow and effortless; now they were clean, precise, cutting straight through Selindra’s rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra noticed it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile twitched, still playful, but now with a small strain under it. She swung her whip with greater force, trying to break Carliat’s flow and push her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spiked pink chain hissed in long arcs, twisting and snapping like a venomous serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every time it moved, Carliat was already there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her glowing whip curved around Selindra’s strikes, slipping past them like water slipping through fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air bent around her weapon, soft and strange, letting her attacks follow angles that shouldn’t exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra spun, forcing her pink mist outward to thicken the air again, but the pressure around her chest tightened as Carliat’s calm voice cut through the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your authority is strong,\" she said simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But your control over it... It’s still too weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra’s lips curled in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OH, JUST SHUT UP AND STAY STILL!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lunged forward, her whip snapping outward in a brutal horizontal swing that tore a deep line across the arena floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp spikes flashed with bright pink light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat stepped into the blow instead of away from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, taking the opportunity, she twisted her wrist, changing the direction of her whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOOOP!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her glowing whip wrapped around Selindra’s weapon like a ribbon made of pure light, squeezing it tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two whips locked, sparks shooting out violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra gasped, eyes widening for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat pulled the whip hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra stumbled forward with a sharp cry as her balance broke. She planted her feet, trying to resist, but Carliat’s strength kept building, steady and merciless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra swung her free hand and fired a blast of pink energy at Carliat’s face, but she didn’t even blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Empty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blast vanished into nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat used that small shock to yank Selindra closer again, their faces almost touching. Her eyes were cold, flat, unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra grit her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah... I knew you were cold... but this is almost boring, Carliat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SNNAP!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, her whip tightened, sliding up Selindra’s arm, over her shoulder, around her chest, and then across her waist in several fast loops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one fluid motion, the glowing white whip wrapped Selindra from torso to thighs, pinning her arms against her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra gasped as the pressure forced her body down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her knees hit the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fell into a kneel, her breath trembling, her pink mist flickering weakly around her like dying smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat stepped forward, slow and quiet, her expression cold as always. The light of her whip reflected on her pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lose,\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra tried to pull free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her muscles flexed, her back arched, but the white whip only tightened more, digging in just enough to remind her that strength alone would not break it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah... damn it...\" she breathed out, sweat sliding down her cheek, dripping from her chin onto the cracked stone floor beneath her knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re... still too damn strong...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat didn’t reply. She only lowered her gaze to the spiked pink whip tangled under her own glowing one. Her eyes followed the lines of Selindra’s weapon with a slow, unreadable calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without emotion, without hesitation, she spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Empty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word slipped from her lips with no emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra’s whip... vanished from existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erased, as if it had never been created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra’s eyes widened in shock, her lips parting as she felt the sudden emptiness in her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... no, you didn’t—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she lifted a single finger, her index finger, and pointed it straight at Selindra’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air between them tightened instantly, a cold spear of pressure pushing against Selindra’s skin. Her heartbeat stumbled, skipping once, then twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her whole chest froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat’s quiet voice landed like a death sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disappear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWIP!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark aura broke through the air like a blade being drawn, slicing between the two goddesses, and then everything stopped moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sound had warned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had simply appeared, materializing in front of Selindra faster than the eye could track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand was wrapped firmly around Carliat’s extended finger, stopping it a hair’s breadth from Selindra’s skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave of his sudden arrival burst outward only after he had already caught her. The ground trembled under everyone’s feet, dust lifting in a soft ring around the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaghhh! A-Aestrea?!\" Selindra gasped as the pressure around her chest broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath returned in a sharp rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea didn’t blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes stayed locked on Carliat’s gray ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat froze at his words. Her eyes widened, not dramatically, but enough to show that his words reached her deeper than any strike in the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had gone too far... she had completely forgotten that this was simply a duel between students, not a real battle that resulted in the death of either of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea slowly released her finger and turned toward the professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"End it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professor, who had been rooted in place with fear stiffening his spine, finally snapped back to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands shook when he raised his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes! T-The duel is— it’s finished! Stop everything at once! It’s over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shout echoed across the arena as the tension snapped like a wire pulled too tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra sagged forward, planting both hands on the fractured floor, her shoulders trembling as she dragged air back into her lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat stepped back one small pace, her breathing steady but her expression shaken in a way she rarely showed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every student in the arena stayed silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single breath dared to break the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Aestrea’s gaze remained on Carliat, who, surprisingly, was also looking back at him with a curious gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had nullified her authority in a single instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Her power seems a bit stronger than before, huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed slighly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Perfect.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1813,"2026-06-03T09:18:17.304Z","2026-06-03T09:18:22.613Z",1,"novelbin.me","5d0740ec155fe1f2cd5656973781f50ecba5324dd0d43fadc1b49a3ad4d9b76e","the-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-chapter-459","the-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-chapter-458",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-cover.jpg"]
