A man entered the room."Now that the 32 participants of the third event have been successfully chosen, I shall now explain the rules of the third even-"He noticed the loud snores of Phize."Uh, can someone wake him up?"Hazel raised her hand, "I'll do it."She went close to him and pinched his cheek."Hey sleep head, stop snoring, the rules of the third event are gonna be relayed.""Ow. Ow. Ow. ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!"He rose."Are you finally awake?" the man asked."Yes, I think so," he said."Alright then, the third event would be team battles, 4 students will go against 4 other students. Sounds simple enough, yes? There will be four 4 versus 4 battles to be conducted, and then the remaining winners of the two battles would then fight, resulting in the remaining 8 students who will be participating in the final event, which is pretty obvious to all of you now, is a face-off with each other."The

"Crap, what should I do? I'm in a really bad position," he surmised.He looked at Trif."I should aim for him first, he's the most dangerous one out of them all," he concluded.Yal charged Phize with a slash to the right but Phize dodged to the left and pursued Trif."I have an idea..." he thought."BLIZZARD!"He aimed the spell at Oltrin and Horka for a few seconds and finally at Yal."That should buy me some time," he comprehended."C-Cold..." Oltrin said.Phize approached Trif and attacked with a downward slash but he sidestepped to the left."GOT YOU!"Phize changed the direction of his sword toward the left.Trif instantaneously used his sword to block his strong attack, leaving him staggered."WHA?"He spun around him, gathered force, and stroke Phize's nape."AACK!"He fell to the ground."WHAT? W-WHAT? HIS STRENGTH. IT'S UNLIKE ANY OTHER STUDENT HERE. IT'S T

Trif whispered to Horka, "Overwhelm him with attacks. Once you see an opening, kick his sword out of bounds. I'll keep blowing him with attacks, and go for the attack once you see it."Trif faced Phize and released an uppercut.Phize defended against the attack but got his hand and sword above his head in the process."NOW!"From behind, Horka stroked aiming at his neck to the left.Phize tried to bring down his sword to block but was only able to bring it halfway.Phize was alarmed, "OH NO-"His sword is deflected out beyond the ring.Horka glanced at Trif and he nodded back.Horka chanted, "REPEL!""IT'S SO CLOSE! I'M NOT SURE I CAN CANCEL IT!" Phize worried.The force created by the spell was proceeding toward him."I HAVE TO TRY!"......"CANCEL!"The magic circle broke and the spell disappeared into thin air."NO!" Trif yelled.Phize faced Trif

"I'll keep pushing him, he's not using any grand magic, he's probably already on his last legs," Trif figured.He charged Phize.Phize swung his ice sword and Trif backed off."I need an opening," he thought.Trif swung his sword downward.Phize dodged to the right and went for a pierce to the stomach.Trif retracted his sword halfway and changed direction towards Phize with a slash to his right."GOTCHA!"Phize redirected his attack in the opposite direction."WE BOTH HAD THE SAME IDEA!" Trif comprehended.Both of them hit each other with their respective swords.Phize fells to the ground while still holding the sword and the same went for Trif."That's it. I've had it. I'm going berserk," he thought.He forcefully stood up with his sword and yelled, "AAAAAAAAH!"He darted towards Phize.Phize forcefully stood up to confront him.He rushed with his sword in front while Ph

The man announces, "ALL PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED IN THE ROUND! PLEASE GO TO THE INFIRMARY IN PREPARATION FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!"Taya stepped down from the rock wall she made. After she walked a few meters, she stepped down from the ring to the ground. "HEY!" Hazel called out to her.Taya gazed back. However, she chose to ignore her and proceeded to walk toward the waiting room."She fights Trif all brave and that but she's no better than him..." she thought.She sighed."People here sure are different from back there," she mumbled.The students of Team C went inside the same room as her. Hazel soon followed after.The man announced more details, "WE WILL NOW BE PREPARING CLEAN-UP FOR THE NEXT BATTLE! WE HUMBLY ASK FOR YOUR PATIENCE! THANK YOU!" he bowed and brought his face back up, then proceeded to do the task of helping out with the cleaning team in the background.Inside the waiting room, Hazel sat dow
