Lucia’s powerful magic attack exploded.
The ring under their feet had been damaged enough by the battle between me and Shayla earlier, but the efforts of the earth magician who had healed it were in vain, and it was violently ravaged again.
The earth-attributed wizard’s scream rises somewhere.
However, Lucia kneaded her magic power again without seeming to care about it.
Cornelia, on the other hand, stands up, looking down at her clothes, which are burned in places.
“Ouuch…I never thought you’d attack me even if you were actually self-destructing.”
“Good plan, right? I’ve been beaten up so many times before. I’m glad to see you like that.”
“No, no, this is just the beginning. I’m not defeated.”
Cornelia’s eyes turned straight to Lucia.
The cheerful atmosphere of the past is gone. Lucia was unintentionally pressured by the powerful radiance that shone brightly in her eyes.
She backed up, making a creaking sound.
“My magic has plenty to spare. I wonder what the battered princess can do !”
Lucia casts a spell. She had seen the ice magic in the battle with Shayla.
The cold air was coming at her from under her feet.
Cornelia simply dodges the attack. The figure disappears.
“Wha.”
Lucia is startled.
In an instant, Cornelia appeared behind her.
“I think I’ll seriously crush you !”
Cornelia, with a vicious smile on her face, swung her wooden sword mercilessly at Lucia’s face.
Faster than before. That was the original Cornelia’s speed.
Lucia’s installation-type magic is activated. But it is slow. The sword reaches Lucia first, despite the explosion.
“Tsk !”
In a panic, Lucia put up her shield.
That is a non-attribute magic that any magician can use. It does not convert into an attribute, but rather uses magic power to put up a shield to defend against attacks.
But there is a drawback.
“Kyaa ! !”
Lucia’s deployed shield was easily shattered by Cornelia’s blow.
The wooden sword was killed slightly, but finally hit Lucia’s arms, which were crossed in front of her face.
Clean hit.
Lucia bounced off the ground and was blown out of the ring.
That was the drawback of the shield.
Originally, a wizard’s shield was designed to prevent magic. It is weak against physical attacks.
Even though it could stop some aura user’s attacks, it was of no use to an aura user as skilled as Cornelia.
The match is over.
“The winner is ! Lia !”
The audience cheered.
Unlike my time, the match had been a bit of a contest, so the audience must have enjoyed it.
I was deeply disappointed in Lucia.
If it had not been in the ring, she would have been able to fight back.
Wizard creatures are long-range attackers. They are not suited to the rules of the Colosseum, where it is easy to fight in close quarters.
Lucia, who had rolled on the ground, got up looking frustrated.
“Ah ～～～～ geez ! I lost again ! I was feeling good this time !”
“You let your guard down at the last minute. If you had prepared wind magic, you could have still fought.”
I went down from the gallery and headed downstairs to Lucia.
Then she held out her right hand with a Buddha’s face.
“Hmm?”
“Let me stand. I’m really tired right now.”
“Yeah, yeah. You did a good job. It was not a bad match.”
If she can deal with her opponents more calmly in the future, she will grow even more.
I took Lucia’s right hand and pulled it forcefully.
“Right? I’ll surpass Her Highness and approach Luca in no time.”
“It’s impossible. There is no one who can beat me except Luca.”
“Even though you say that, you’re in shambles !”
“I’m fine because my aura healed me~.”
The fight was over and Cornelia joined us.
We returned to the spectator’s seats with the cheers of the crowd behind us.
In the end, my opponent would be Cornelia. If possible, I’d like to clash with Aiden before fighting Cornelia.
I wouldn’t mind a Cornelia vs. Aiden match.
Perhaps my feelings were heard, the tournament continued for a while, and in the third round, my name and Aiden’s were called.
“Oh, it’s me.”
A very convenient tournament match.
As if God wanted the hero and the villain to compete against each other,me and Aiden stood on the ring.
Aiden looked pale.
“Hey, Aiden. Was the last time I saw you face to face like this when the school was attacked? Or were you too scared and shaken to face me then?
“L-Luca Salvatore ! Don’t mock me ! I’ll show you that I’ve grown up !”
With a snap, he pointed the tip of the wooden sword in his right hand at my face.
He’s really motivated, isn’t he? His back is a bit stiff, but his fighting spirit is not completely broken.
Then I’m going to smash him. It’s a pain in the ass to have guys like him hanging around me.
I’m going to make you suffer unless I can use you.
I smirked, and we both readied our swords.
Aiden takes the middle position with a serious look. I relaxed and take the lower position.
The host, seeing the situation, announces the start of the match in a loud voice.
“The match—-begins ! !”
Aiden was the first to kick the ground.
