Rachel gritted her teeth in pain as she stood up with fury burning in her eyes. Her opponent was another saint candidate who had contracted with the Archangel Gabriel.
The girl's name was Selena and she belonged to a different faction within the Nephilim Church, so the rivalry between the two was not small.
Selena had the bearing of a holy maiden with a lithe figure and gorgeous blond hair that flowed gently down her back.
Her eyes gleamed with holiness and purity that made one unable to look away.
Rachel was confident in beating Selena in a one on one duel, but the presence of other students was disrupting her concentration as she had to be constantly on guard against sneak attacks.
Each saint candidate was temporarily contracted with an archangel or demon for a period of two hundred years.
The church would then hold an internal competition called 'Veniza' to carefully select no more than three individuals to become permanent hosts of the deities.
