Dark Magus Returnschapter 313.4: practical lesson (part 4)

Regardless of what had happened so far, the match was continuing on between the two. Both of them had suffered from minor magical attacks, although one could argue that if it wasn't for the enchanted uniform Aurora was wearing, she would have been far worse off between the two.

'What 'Jake' taught me worked. The Embers, although they still hit me, it didn't hurt as much. I don't have much experience using my spells when it comes to real fighting, so I guess now is the best time!'

Rather than waiting, Kelly decided it was best for her to be on the attack. She knew that Aurora specialized in Fire magic, and although it was powerful, the major problem with Fire magic was that if used in too close proximity, it could end up hurting the other person, so if she was close, then she wouldn't have to suffer from fire spells being used on her.

When Kelly got in close, a sharp swipe of wind had come right at her. She had stopped in her tracks, and the attack narrowly managed to miss her.

"Did you think I couldn't use something as simple as Wind magic as well?" Aurora asked as she continued to swing her hand, casting the spell Wind Swipe.

In order to counter this, Kelly could only do the same, as she swung her hand back, casting the spells, but all it was doing was equaling out to each other. While trying to block the attacks, it wasn't giving her enough time to think about what to do next, what the best bet would be.

"A Whirl of Wind!" Aurora cast, and a small spiral of wind that was visible came out toward Kelly, but when she saw its path, she noticed that it wasn't going toward her. To which Kelly decided to ignore and continue dealing with the Wind Swipes.

"A Whirl of Wind!" Aurora cast again, and another trail of wind had gone straight past. When the attack missed though something strange was happening.

Those that were watching from the outside could see. The spell that had been used, when the attack missed, the wind was continuously spinning in place on the ground. It didn't look to be harmful, but had the appearance of a small tornado. Wind was being blown, but even when Kelly was next to it, it didn't seem to do anything. Only her hair would slightly feel as if it was being pulled toward the small tornado.

As the fight continued, Aurora had done this a third time, and now on the battlefield, in three different areas, the three small tornadoes were on the edge of the platform.

Watching from his seat, Raze had lifted himself and stood up. "Don't tell me that idiot is really thinking of doing that!" Raze said as he noticed something.

"Hey, have you noticed that your sister is going to lose this fight? You know you can't just go in and get involved, right?" Alen commented, and he was looking at Raze's fingers; they were twitching, which had gotten him so concerned.

Aurora then stood away, stopping her relentless attack of Wind Swipes, and stood in between two of the small tornadoes.

"I just want to note that everything I have done has been within the rules, so protect yourself." Aurora smiled.

"Wind Combine!" Bringing her hands together, the three small tornadoes went to combine. One had come from behind where Kelly currently was, but she managed to push herself out of the way. Then all three of the tornadoes had met in the middle, and when they did, they had combined into a large one.

The wind was a lot more powerful now, but it still was a normal wind spell. It still wasn't even the size of a regular tornado, more like that of a mini one that filled the platform; its destructive power wasn't enough to cause a mess.

That was until Aurora placed both of her hands toward the tornado. "Ember!"

Two forms of Ember went and were drawn in, and fire started to spiral in the tornado. "Water Spout!"

Water left her hands and joined the giant tornado that was growing; it started to grow dark, and to finish it off, she had one more spell.

"Fireball!"

The fire left her hands, and in that instant, Trin knew exactly what was about to happen.

'That whole thing, it's going to explode and set off fire in all directions! And with the combination of spells, it will be too much for the enchanted uniform to protect, I... I have to protect the students.'

The tornado exploded, and immediately Trin pushed himself off the platform in front of the students. He then raised both of his hands.

"Wall of the Mightiest Winds!" Trine cast.

The mass tornado in the middle had done exactly as Trin expected, and it had exploded. It expanded out covering the sight of everything in smoke and flames. The heat was intense as it went to hit everything in sight. The attack extended out to the point where it had even hit the barrier which had been activated to block the attack.

The entire area was filled with smoke, and eventually the flames started to die down along with everything else.

"Is everyone okay?" Trin asked his students.

All of them had been protected from the attack. From the combination magic that was used.

When looking at the stage, they could see that Aurora was standing; she knew what was coming and had cast a 3-star spell to protect herself, using a barrier of water magic.

In the stands, none of the adults were hurt, and Alen had his hands out. "The attack, it managed to get through the barrier; I had to use a spell to block it as well, but how is that possible?"

When looking at the barrier, Alen could see that a part of it was broken. It looked almost as if it was melted. Then, straight ahead, Kelly was on the floor, shocked by the attack, but was unharmed because there was a single mage standing in front of her with white hair.

"Did you know what you just tried to do?" Raze asked, his hand pointed out toward Aurora.
