Waiting For The Light

Winners

When Benjamin saw his opponent he knew that this is gonna be so hard. His opponent was the girl who fought first. 

A scorpion.

When benjamin transformed everyone was looking at him with great interest. His white hair was flying in the wind. Rose, the scorpion girl threw a punch at him first. 

But Benjamin was more careful than she thought. He dodged it. She was fast. She was keep attacking Benjamin. But Benjamin avoided all of them. But He got hit by her tail. When he was fighting with her, he felt that she was coming closer and closer.

" She tries to look into my eyes"

Benjamin's mind wandered everywhere and he finally remembered the scene at the canteen. He nearly fainted by looking into that scorpion girl's eyes.

Maybe she is also the same? Benjamin got away from her. When she raised her tail to attack Benjamin, he froze her tail. So she couldn't move her tail. Benjamin relaxed for a moment thinking that he won. But the next moment He felt something hot.

" Fire !"

She also can use fire just like Ella. She melts the ice with fire. Benjamin threw ice attacks again and again. But she successfully avoided them. Their match took much more time than others. Since both of them didn't want to get defeated they fought until both of them get injured. 

But in the end, the winner. What do you think?

" Galhand High won" Everyone shouted happily. Mr Clerk was so happy. Others also.

During the match, Benjamin used his one more ability. He can create things using ice. But also living things. Since he got injured and tired he made another Benjamin by ice. Rose was also tired. But she still had to fight. 

Benjamin just had to control his ice creation. She shoots fire toward the ice Benjamin. But it didn't melt as before. Why did the ice remain the same even after it was on fire?

That's the speciality. It had an invisible protector. That was given by Mr Clerk to Benjamin. He was thankful to Mr Clerk at that moment. However after the fight finally Rose gave up.

" I quit " Everyone wondered. 

They thought that Benjamin must be powerful to make her say it. After their victory, he also had to treat his wounds. Some of them were caused by Rose's scorpion tail. They were quite serious. But after applying for the medicine he felt much better.

At the end of the event, there were no challenges left. Mary who decided to challenge Benjamin changed her mind after seeing his fight. That was the end of the event. At the end, the chief guest will give a speech about the day. 

Mr Henry took the microphone and started to talk. Everyone went silent. 

" As for today's event, I saw that this generation was so powerful. I witnessed many things here. And I have something to tell all the students.

 In the future, you will be the one who has to protect our world. So get strong. Protect your world. When you become stronger you don't have to bow to others. Think about yourself first. "

When his speech was going on he looked in the direction of Galhand High. Looks like Mr Clerk already know that he was looking at them.

" That bastard is still spouting nonsense as before." 

When Mr Clerk mumbled, his students looked at him with shock. One reason for the shock was he used the word ' bastard' to address him and the other one was he dared to insult the 3rd ranker of the most powerful mages.

When he said that, the person who was giving a speech laughed. Did he hear that?

" And I enjoyed today so much. And also I saw my old friends here. It's happy to see you here."

" Friends, my ass " Mr Clerk was blaming him in his mind.

" Old friends? , Is he talking about Mr Clerk?"

 Kevin suspected.

" Sir, Do you know Mr Henry?" Emily asked.

" Somewhat ..." Mr Clerk just answered like that.

" But why didn't you tell us? " Benjamin asked.

" Ah.  That's not important " He just ignored it. All of them understood that their relationship was not a good one. But how did Mr Henry offend Mr Clerk? 

His speech has already ended.

Then the announcer gave another announcement.

" One more thing. Please listen carefully... Five students who performed here have got  invitations to attend the Magic Academy.."

When the word,'  Magic Academy ' was mentioned the audience became noisy.

Magic Academy has the best students out of all the students. That won't be easy to be a student at the Magic academy. But when it's said that some students got invitations, everyone was curious about how powerful they can be. 

" After the end of this event, the principals of this school should come and meet Mr Henry with his students."

" Eulogia High School, Poshel High school, Marie High School, Galhand High school "

When their school also called Mr Clerk stunned. They didn't expect that.

But why is it only four schools?

After the event, Mr Clerk went to the main hall of Eulogia High with his students. When they arrived there, Mr Henry and the other schools who got called had already arrived. 

" Aaah...!. Jackson, my friend.  How are you doing?"

What a warm welcome

 Benjamin and others looked at Mr Clerk. "Why is he still angry? "

Mr Henry seems to see the curiousness of the students of his old friend.

"I stole his girlfriend back then," he said like telling a precious secret. But thankfully other than Mr Clerk's side others didn't hear that.

" You... Rabbit head .. Shut your dirty mouth.." Mr Clerk was so angry.

Benjamin and others couldn't help but laugh. They tried so hard to control it. But it jumped out of the mouth. 

Their teacher is angry with this guy just because he stole his girlfriend. Their teacher got cheated on by his girlfriend.

When he saw that his students were laughing at him, He was speechless.

"Why did they also have to laugh at me? "But he didn't get angry. He calmed down when he saw their happy faces.

" Okay. I got these invitations from Ms Sally. She is the principal of the Magic Academy. I don't know how did she select the students. But I have to obey her orders." He said it while looking at 5 invitation cards.

Then he gave them to the principals. Other than Galhand High, other schools only got one invitation. But Mr Clerk got two invitations. 

"You can send your replies within a week about this. Then I will get going. 

I hope all of you will get this precious chance." Mr Henry just left like that.

When Benjamin and others arrived at Galhand High they got a warm welcome party. They have won two battles. That was already enough for them. 

Meanwhile, Mr Clerk at his office was looking at the invitations they got. Even before he opened it, he already knew who are the students Magic Academy is looking for. He silently opened them and read them. 

Sure enough, he was right. 

Then he sent a message to Kevin and Benjamin saying them to come and meet him.
