The screen was blank and the audience was eager to know who they were

"Top 3 contendors?"

"They must come from a well-known n.o.ble family..."

Many contenders were displayed on the screen, the audience didn't know who to expect.

Kurt who had heard this announcement, was still inside of his carriage. You could tell that he was starting to get anxious as rested his head over his hands while he sat down, as if he had something on his mind that worried him.

"And the contendors are..."

--------------------------------------------------------

"Is everyone ready?" Asked the teacher

We were out in the open relatively far from the other group, we had a lot of s.p.a.ce as the platform extended for miles

"Yes." I replied

Victor and dark haired boy both nodded

"Well then, you may start when the coin hits the ground" She said

After she had finished speaking I felt some of my adrenaline go away and was starting to feel nervous.

Now's not the time...

"Looks like I was right, we were fated to face off again. This time I won't hold back." Said victor

"Right back at you" I replied with a nervous smile

Hold back...? If I don't hold back, everyone will be able to see, but if I do, I have a feeling I'll end up in a worse state... Maybe I should have gone back with Ariel and Serena.

As I thought that, the lady grabbed a coin and threw it off into the air

We all watched as the coin slowly fell

*Clang*

The instant, it touched the ground, everyone had started to chant

We all leapt away from each other and gained some distance while we continued to chant

Everyone was using 'silent chant' so there was no way of knowing what was coming, even if they weren't I wouldn't know

"Advanced dark magic: Resurgens umbra Spika" Translation: Rising Shadow Spikes

The first to finish chanting was the black haired kid. The instant he had said that, his shadow quickly extended towards us.

I got bad vibes from it, plus it was a spell, so the moment it reached me I leapt sideways.

A split second later, dark spikes rose up from his shadow

As for Victor, He had disappeared, and before the boy even realised it, Victor was behind him.

Victor was muttering something, he was chanting for another spell. But before he could finish, Dark Spikes rose up from the ground around the boy

But before they even had a chance to graze victor he disappeared and reappeared relatively far from us

"Stand still." Said the boy as his shadow extended again towards victor

Spikes would rise from his shadow and victor would teleport to dodge it, no one had suffered any hits, meanwhile

"I'm being totally ignored right now, huh?" I muttered as I watched the two fight

I could wait for them to waste their magic and end them, but that didn't sit right with me

While the two were distracted by their fight, I propelled 5 ice spikes at each of them

But before it hit the boy, spikes rose up from the ground beside him, blocking my Spikes. Although since it blocked it, his spike was completely frozen and crumbled shortly after.

As for victor, well, he just teleported and dodged them all

"If you keep ignoring me, you'll regret it" I said as I walked up to them

"Big words. Advanced Dark Magic: horruit hastis tenebris" he said while he leapt towards me, changing his target from kurt to me. Translation: Dark Lances

Four Dark lances were formed midair, and pointed straight at me

I had also been fake chanting so by the time he had formed his I was already on the process of forming mine.

"Advanced Ice Magic: ipsas pila glacies" Said John as he formed four Ice lances around him

His dark lances were propelled straight at me, and I propelled mine straight at his, causing them to collide.

My lances frozed his slowing them down, but his won in terms of strength and still kept going at me.

If I casted Ice wall out of nowhere from this distance, it would be suspicious, so instead I should dodge it.

When I was about to leap away to dodge it, something strange happened. The boy suddenly cast rose dark spikes from the ground in front of him, and used it to stop him midair.

a second later The frozen dark lances disappeared, not only that, but a big line was formed on the ground which separated me and the the boy as if it had been sc.r.a.ped away. the boy also looked surprised and confused about what had happened, so I'm guessing it wasn't his doing.

"How about we stop playing around?" Asked victor with his right arm stretched out

His hand was coated with a strange aura

O-Oi... Are you serious? What was that...?

"Saint-Cla.s.s Spatial Magic: Void Eater"

This is bad news... Won't we be cut in half if we're hit directly by that...?

"Or so I'd like to say, but I'm not allowed to use this on people. I just wanted your attention" After he said that, the aura which had coated his hand disappeared.

He quickly went back to chanting for a next spell, then the boy followed after and I was last.

From that attack alone, I'm sure even the boy could feel how strong kurt was, If he hadn't stopped short, he could have been sc.r.a.ped away out of existance...

We were now being completely wary of Victor

"Advanced Dark magic: tenebris triplicata" Said the boy the moment he had finished chanting

In that instant, his shadow extended even more than before, in the form of a square that was gradually increasing it's area.

I used Velox in time and propelled myself straight out of the shadow square's zone. Meanwhile, Victor hadn't moved an inch, but I guess he didn't need to

The edges of the square than started to rise up, it was taking the form of a cube, before it was high enough I focused on my eyesight as much as I could to see what Victor was doing.

I noticed that he was muttering something with a smile on his face

"I can already tell how this is going to end..." I muttered as I watched the cube rise and start to close off

I'm being ignored again aren't I...

A minute later, the cube had been completely closed off, and in that instant, Spikes stretched out from the outside, if the outside was like this, I couldn't imagine what the inside would be like

After that, the spikes retracted and in an instant, the cube dispersed into thin air.

What I saw shocked me. Victor was riddled with holes all over his body

"O-Oi... Why didn't he just teleport out?" I muttered as I was about to run over to him

Despite what he was looking at, the boys expression did not change at all, it was just a neutral expression.

The fact that it hadn't changed after what he had just done was starting to irritate me.

I started to walk over to him and he started to chant

"Did you have to kill him?" I asked while blatantly displaying how irritated I felt

He ignored me and continued his chant

Right while I was planning on sinking a deep punch on his face, he pointed behind me
