MIGHT AS WELL BE OP
Chapter 99: Beach

THE NEXT DAY

Everyone slept and woke up when they wanted since they weren't at the Academy where they had to wake up on time to train and attend classes.

But since waking up early has been engraved into their souls since they awakened at ten, some people still woke up early by mistake.

Anthony and his friends could be seen eating at the hotel they stayed with happiness as they had indeed enjoyed their first day on the floating island.

The Academy provided each person a certain amount of food per day, so some people like Bringer won't swallow the Academy's fortune.

But the Academy also gave them crystals, anyone that is still unsatisfied can just buy more food and eat.

But they were all awakened, even D rankers can go two days without food, so the Academy decided to just give them enough, it wasn't like anyone would die of hunger in three days as that would be the funniest joke.

As they ate, Bryan asked

"What are we going to do today, it's already 1PM, we woke up too late"

They all literally woke up late due too walking around yesterday.

"How about we head to the beach and swim"

"Hoooo.....we could catch the fishes there and eat them"

"You aren't allowed to fish at the beach"

"Ehhh why not"

"That's a tourist center, they are meant to be preserved and untouched, besides the floating island have rules and you might be arrested and your family would be fined"

"And with the amount of outrageous prices we've seen by staying here, I can't imagine how the floating island would reap your family in the name of damages you caused them in order to compensate them and for your bail"

After they were done eating, they decided to buy some swim suits for the beach.

They walked back to the shop and the girls bought swim suits and the guy bought shorts that were just above the knee.

Then they started running to the beach since it was faraway and would take some time to get there if they just walked.

Although this place was called an island, Anthony didn't dare to call it that as the size was just too huge to be called that.

When they got to the beach, they were asked for money yet again before they could even see a grain of sand.

They all paid twenty low mana crystals each and entered with anticipation.

When they got there, they saw a lot of people walking around on the sand, some set up parasols to block the sun, some swam, some just ate whatever they had on their hand and looked at beauties.

They booked two rooms, one for the men, the other for the women, then they changed to their swim suits and stepped out.

They attracted attention as they walked but that didn't sway them and they just walked to the to the water and dived straight in without talking to anyone.

Bringer like a kid, increased his body size and weight and now stood at 7'5 feet.

He jumped high in the air, and shouted as he dropped into the sea.

"Cannonball"

**BOOMM**SLAPSH***

A huge tidal wave came with it as the sea rose up and pushed a lot of people backwards.

Anthony swam for a while before he bought a floatation device and just layed on it with sun glasses over his eyes as he basked in the sun.

He loved the feeling of the sunlight touching his skin.

'Should I buy that sun absorption ability of superman and just get stronger by basking in the sun'

Anthony thought as he just layed there while looking at the sun and subtly controlled the water element and it moved him around with his floatation device gently.

Anthony felt Donna take over his control over water and controlled it and made him move towards her, he didn't stop her and just watched.

"How about we play volleyball here"

Donna suggested to Anthony and the rest.

Anthony raised an eye brow wondering what this was about, although he never played volleyball once in his life, but with his talent he could become good at anything by just trying it once.

The rest agreed happily, then Donna explained the basic rules of volleyball like no one can touch the ball two times consecutively, no opposing team can touch the ball once it's no longer in their half.

Then she got to the main rules, they weren't allowed to use mana or aura or talent or any physical enhancing skill to enchance their body but are allows to use their entire natural physical strength.

You can add more force to the ball by using basic elemental manipulation, but only upon physical contact with the ball.

You can't manipulate the ball in anyway once it has left your touch or not within your touch.

Once the ball touches the ground or was out of bound, that's a point for the opposing team.

You can't also manipulate the court itself.

"Ehhh just two problems, all the courts are already taken, also there are no balls here that can withstand our strength, we have to go back and buy it"

Rider said.

Of course they won't use regular balls, the ball they have to use has to be outrageously strong to withstand their strength, but these balls were rare as nobody spends their time playing sports instead of cultivating.

But on the floating island it wasn't as this was a vacation spot, so they had everything in order to be able to provide for people.

They just didn't want to go and buy the ball after they just got to the beach.

Anthony immediately chimed in

"I have one ball with me, don't worry"

Everyone looked at him wondering why he carried such a thing.

Anthony just came out from the sea and walked back to the room they booked on the beach like he was going to get the ball from his space ring, which wasn't on him right now, he just doesn't want people to question how the ball appeared without a space ring on his finger.

After they set up the net and the ball, they divided themselves into two teams, while having seven people on each team as they were fourteen in total.

Bryan, Bringer, Evelyn, Clement, Arnold, Ross, Marcus were on team 1.

Anthony, Rider, Vivian, Donna, Ross, Spectre and Litt were on team 2.

Team 1 started with their serve outside the court, and who better to serve than a titan with their ridiculous physique.

Bringer smirked and threw the ball high in the air, then his muscles bulged as he shot into the sky.

As he got to the ball, he coated his hand with the red energy and changed his hand into a fist and punched the ball with a lethal force.

**BOOMM**

Space shook upon impact as the ball shot forward with maddening force.

Immediately the ball went over the net and into team two's court, Rider immediately moved and placed his arm under the ball to save it and for a forearm pass.

Immediately the ball connected with his forearm, he changed it's direction by shooting it upwards perfectly.

Anthony seeing this had a mischievous grin on his face as he disappeared from his position and appeared in the sky just infront of the ball.

Mid air, he looked at Bringer with an evil grin and decided to prank him as he was really tired of this muscle man tantrums.

The same red energy instantly formed on Anthony's palm just like Bringer, then Anthony slapped the ball with a rocketing intensity that even made the ball seem to ripple as it was sent back to where it came from.

***BAMM***

The ball seem to disappear from people's view like it left the world, nobody understood where the ball went.

Only Bringer felt death tingling for a split second and in that split second, the ball appeared infront of Bringer like it was teleported by Anthony but it wasn't.

Bringer moved to block but he was too slow as the ball instantly connected with his chest and he was sent flying through the air.

He and the ball both left the court before anyone could react.

Bringer and Rider looked at Anthony in shock, Anthony had just used Bringer's unique talent right infront of them.

A talent or skill is unique because nobody else in the world has it.

And now someone infront of them defiled that logic, common sense and a world fact.

This was the second time Anthony had stolen the Storm brothers skill.

The first was when he fought Clement on the ship, the second was now.

Anthony sent Bringer a smirk then turned to return to his position.

The rest didn't understand what just happened, but to them, Anthony and the Storm brothers seem to have an understanding.

The game resumed right after the pause.

Rider tossed the ball up and jumped up to meet it.

Earth element moved and coated his elbow as Rider spun mid air and sent out an elbow attack on the ball that made it faster as it blitzed onwards without obstruction.

***BOOOM***

As it moved into team one's court and started descending, Bryan immediately moved.

He performed the same forearm pass like Rider earlier easily with his dragon physique.

Before Rider could move to send out a more devastating attack, a figure blurred into existence before the ball could reach it's highest point in the sky.

She spun around just like Rider but this time, she used her foot heel coated in light element and sent out an attack.

Immediately her heel made contact with the ball, an explosion sounded in the air as the ball flew forward with a faster speed and force than the one Anthony sent earlier while also becoming invisible.

The ball disappeared again, but this time due to the speed and the invincibility she added to the ball using her elemental control.

To others, invisibility using light element might not be basic elemental manipulation but to her, it was just a basic elemental manipulation.

Everyone on team two could only react with their senses, but they were still too slow.

Evelyn smiled happily as she saw that the ball was about to make contact with the ground.

At the last second, Anthony appeared there and saved the ball with ease and a pass.

Vivian appeared beside the ball before it could start descending.

She didn't use any elemental manipulation, and just sent out a pure physical attack.

They played for hours till the sun bade them farewell, so they had to stop in order to return to their hotel.

And with that team 2 won with only one point.
