An hour passed by.
The man entered the room to report.
"The stage is set, have you all prepared for the third event?"
There was silence inside the place.
"I'll take that as a yes. Come now, follow me outside."
The students followed the man outside the stadium. The crowd cheered.
"The crowd sure is loud," Phize thought.
The man went to the middle of the ground and so the students gather before the man.
"Now, what you've all been waiting for, FOR THE THIRD EVENT, WE WILL BE HAVING... 4v4 TEAM BATTLES!"
The crowd cheered.
"Now the rules are simple, 4 people will be fighting in this ring..."
The man pointed to where they stood which is a red ring with a radius of around 10 m.
"If someone steps around this ring, the person is eliminated. Other than that, they will be engaging in a fight of swords and magic, making use of everything they've learned up until now. The students have been divided into 4 teams,
"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 something in Yal's ear. He proceeded to shout right after, "AH! I GOT SOME IN MY EYE!"Phize's attention was caught and so he found his next prey, "GOTCHA!"He hurried to him.He envisioned a plan, "Time to land with water and-"Oltrin cast a spell, "Surrounding us with a swirl, the living life to all beings, WIND!"He pointed in Phize's direction. The wind spell managed to hit him out of balance."CRAP! HE GOT ME AGAIN!"He viewed his surroundings as he fell, "I need to land safely, QUICK!"He saw an area of the ring which wasn't preoccupied with anyone, so he changed his course and headed to it."THERE!"He cast a spell, "WATE-"Trif quickly darted to where Phize was headed.Yal chanted, "Levitation."He flew over to him."HE'S FLOATING! I HAVE TO LEAVE FAST," Phize evaluated.He reached the same height as him and as soon as he did, he flew over to him and attack
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
Phize looked at Oltrin.Many magic circles were releasing burning rocks.Two of them were headed in his direction."CANCEL!"A magic circle broke and the rock lost its flare, however, there was still one flaming rock."CANCEL!"Another magic circle broke and the rock lost its flare."I can... I CAN DO IT!"He focused on Oltrin."I just have to knock Oltrin out and that'll make things much much easier for me," he devised.He switched his attention to Trif. He was simply resting and sitting on the ground."I just have to look out for him."Phize was sweating all over and was having a hard time catching his breath."I don't really have much more stamina in me, so as much as possible, I would like this plan to go as smoothly as possible."With a sigh, he then barked out loud, "HERE GOES NOTHING!"He scuttled to Oltrin, though, many flaming rocks were heading his way.He shoute
"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
"Thank... goodness," Trif thought.He fainted as he thought of it.Yal dropped to his knees. He inhaled and exhaled in extreme succession."It's finally over..."The man broadcasted, "ROUND OVER! CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM B!"Hazel was in shackles, "He lost...""I wanted to fight him in the 1v1s too... But he fought hard enough already, I'm sure he deserves some kind of rest," she thought.The two men from earlier came out and carry Phize towards a door under the stadium.The man further announced, "ALL PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED IN THE ROUND! PLEASE GO TO THE INFIRMARY IN PREPARATION FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!"5 more men came out from the same room and accompany Yal carrying Trif who were going down the ring.The man further reported, "Now, excuse us a bit, we will be doing some cleaning in the stadium. We humbly ask for your patience, thank you."In the end, Trif never truly thought of Phize as a true th
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
Trif and Hazel stared at each other.He taunted her with his index finger, "Come."She charged toward him.She cast a spell in her mind, "CREATE FLOUR!"She sprayed some of it on Trif.He covered his face with his arms so that some wouldn't get into his eyes."Copying that brat's technique? That won't work on me."He analyzed its texture by rubbing it with his thumb and index finger."What is this? It's fine, so it's not sand. Is it some kind of powder? What's the meaning of this?" he wondered."Hey Trif, if you can take some of my blows then I'm sure you can be able to take an explosion right?""What?""Wait... is she talking about some sort of chemical reaction?" he hypothesized.A light blue flame appeared on her right hand and it shot toward him.He jumped to his left to avoid it, but once the flour caught contact with the flame, it created a dust explosion, getting him caught in it. He wa
