Chapter 24: The Upperclassman and the Wizard
Igni won the 2nd and 3rd round without any problems, and now came the semi-finals.
“Okay everyone~! The moment you’ve been waiting for~!! Block A Semi-Finals will be fought between these 2 contestants!”
Igni walks out through the gate.
“Using only the most basic spell [FIREBALL], he has climbed all the way up till now, contestant IGNI~!!!”
And from the otherwise, a familiar face appears.
“And going against him will be another contestant who has climbed up the ranks with no problems! Contestant Frenda~!!! No one could keep up with her tricky spells, and she has won every match unscathed!!!!”
It’s Miss Frenda from Rolmod Wizard Academy.
Igni: “Miss Frenda, congratulations on winning your matches.”
Frenda: “Of course’z. I’m not going to lose to you’z, Igni!!”
Igni: “I have no intention of losing either.”
I can’t be popular if I lose.
I can be popular if I win.
Was it always this simple?
No, and it probably won’t stay so simple in the future.
“The two attend the same renown, elite Wizard education institution!! Currently both students at the Rolmod Wizard Academy!! And it is no coincidence that in Block B, the “Dawn of Light” Fray and the “Warped” Erumi are also from Rolmod!! All these contestants from Rolmod are tearing up this Tournament!! The ‘Golden Age Generation’ holds up to its name~~!!!”
The super cute announcer girl lets Igni know the situation of Block B.
Igni: (......I see. So Fray is moving up the Tournament ladder as well.)
Frenda: “No hard feelings no matter who win’z! Here I come, Igni!!”
Igni: “Yes, I’ll also give it my all, Miss Frenda.”
Igni and Frenda both get into their battle stance.
“MATCH!! BEGIN!!!”
The referee signals the beginning of the match!!
Frenda: “Igni! I haven’t told you my compatibility yet, have’z I?!”
Igni and Frenda both begin concentrating their magic into their palms.
Frenda: “My compatibility is [WATER] : [A]! You’re absolute worst enemy’z!”
Igni: “[WATER]....?!”
Frenda: “Here I come’z! [WATER BLAST]!!”
Frenda fires a mid-tier spell to see how Igni would react.
A spout of water gushes from Frenda and hurdles towards Igni!
Igni: “Too bad you can’t hit me, Miss Frenda!!”
But Igni easily dodges the attack.
Frenda: “I thought you would dodge it’z, Igni!!”
But Frenda smiled as Igni evaded her spell.
Frenda: “Got you!! [WATER is AQUA • Wrap Around COIL]!!”
The next moment, the water began circling around, and like a drill stabs Igni in the chest!!
Frenda: “I just have to push you out now! It’s over!!”
As soon as Frenda finishes her sentence…
BASHUUUUUUUU!! (*sfx water hissing from high temperature)
A high amount of steam and heat explodes.
Frenda: “Wh--what just happened’z?!”
Igni: “Miss Frenda, you didn’t have enough <CON•CEN•TRA•TION>’z!!!”
Igni picks up Frenda’s habit of speech as he yells.
And that’s when Frenda caught a glimpse of what happened.
Between Igni and her rush of water, a small [FIREBALL] stood in between!
Frenda: “WH----?! You’re telling me that you stopped my spell with that dinky little [FIREBALL]’z?!?!”
IgnI: “Yes I did!!”
Igni lets the [FIREBALL] explode and gets rid of the rest of the water and starts running.
Frenda: “.....ergh!! [WATER • BULLET]!!”
Frenda fires off her spell towards Igni who is running towards her.
Igni: “RETURN FIRE - FIRE]!!”
As soon as Frenda’s spell touches Igni’s, another explosion of steam fills the air!
The two are caught in the blast of steam and mist as it fills the space between them.
Frenda: “N--no!! I can’t believe I lost to Igni’s [FIREBALL]!!”
Igni: “It’s not just a normal [FIREBALL]!! [FLAME ARMOR - IGNITE]”
Igni concentrates his magic in his [FIREBALL].
The red flames changes to a blue shade.
Frenda: “Not good...!! [WATER • WALL]!!”
Igni: “[LAUNCH - FIRE]!!”
Igni’s [FIREBALL] rips through Frenda’s defensive spell, and pushes her back!!
Igni: “It’s not over yet!”
Frenda: “No, this is the end’z!!”
As Frenda finishes saying this, an incredible amount of magic power begins swirling around.
Frenda: “[Flooding River • AQUA TORNADO]!!”
And a giant <TOR•NA•DO> appears onto the field.
GARI-GARI-GARI!! (*sfx sound stone grinding)
It lands onto the field and stands between Igni and Frenda!!
Igni: “An Epic-Scale Spell?!”
Frenda: “Yes’z! I’m sorry, Igni, but I’ll have you blown away!!”
An Epic-Scale Wizard Spell.
As the word implies, it is a spell of <EP•IC> proportions.
A spell powerful enough to wipe out one entire city.
Igni: “.....I’m impressed Miss Frenda! There’s only a handful of Wizards who can perform an Epic-Scale Spell…!!”
Frenda: “Haha!! Are you impressed now, Igni?!”
Igni: “I’ve always been impressed with you!!”
Frenda: “Hehehe, could you say that again’z?!”
Igni: “I’ll say it as many times as you like! I think you’re amazing!!”
Frenda: “Hehehehe”
An uncontrollable smile spreads across Miss Frenda.
Igni: (So cute…)
Igni: “But…. BUT I CAN’T LOSE!!”
Frenda: “Come at me, Igni!!”
Igni: “[FLAME ARMOR - IGNITE : ANTI-ARMOR ‘PIERCE’]
Igni creates a [FIREBALL].
And he <SP•INS> it.
GYURURURURURU!! (*sfx high rotation sound)
A high pitch squeal pierces the air as the [FIREBALL] <CAU•SES FRIC•TION WI•TH THE AIR>.
Igni: “Here I go, Miss Frenda!”
Frenda: “Ready whenever you are’z!!”
Igni: “[LAUNCH - FIRE]!!”
Igni releases his [FIREBALL].
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN!!! (*sfx explosion)
Spinning at the speed of light, the [FIREBALL] collides with the tornado!! And with it’s spinning, it rips a large hole into the tornado.
Frenda: “Amazing’z! But I can easily fix a hole that size’z! ….wait, huh? Where’z Igni?!?!”
But beyond the gaping hole of the tornado, Frenda could not find Igni and tilts her head in bewilderment.
Igni: “Behind you’z!”
Igni places a hand on Frenda’s back.
Igni: “[DETONATE - FIRE]!!!”
DON!! (*sfx)
Igni sends the explosion only towards Frenda’s body and sends her flying!!
Frenda: “I didn’t think you would suddenly appear behind meeeeeeee’z!!!”
SPLASH!!
Frenda hits the water.
“AND IT’S OVERRRRR!!! BLOCK A Winner is contestant Igni!!!”
“ “ “ -----YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! “ “ “
The crowd goes wild with Igni’s victory.
“And it what’s this?! Block B’s match is also over!!”
The announcer’s voice echoes through the Colosseum.
“Block B’s Final contestant is of course THIS MAN!!”
Igni listens to the distant announcer’s message.
“THE MAN AWAKENED WITH THE UPPER TIER MAGIC ELEMENT - THE [ULTIMATE LIGHT]!! THE UNDEFEATED!! THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!”
-----deep breath.
“FRAY TALCOYZ---------------------------!!!!!!!!”
“ “ “ --------YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! “ “ “
The two shall once more, meet again.
