Aiden’s match was over, and once again, the tournament was underway without a hitch.
Then came the second round.
Since the opponents were chosen at random each time, it was no surprise who I would face.
But….I didn’t expect to bump into her out of the blue.
“It was a surprisingly quick meeting, Shayla.”
“Yeah. I’m not going to lose.”
Shayla Carrera, who was standing in front of me, made a fist as if she was full of spirit.
“Don’t hold back, okay? Use the compound magic I taught you and attack as hard as you can.”
“I know. I won’t let Master Luca be bored.”
Shayla smiled and kneaded her magic.
The host signaled the start of the game, and immediately after that, Shayla launched her attack.
–The ground froze first.
“Good, compound magic right off the bat.”
Shayla’s compound magic was ice, a combination of wind and water.
The ice wall is created in front of me, freezing the ground.
This ice was created by magic.
Shayla’s figure, which should have been hidden by the ice wall, was clearly visible.
The other person can also see me.
“Keep going. With the intention of killing me.”
She mixes her attributes again.
If Lucia excelled in the power of compound magic, Shayla excelled in the types of compound magic.
Naturally, she has more types of compound magic she can use.
Now she mixes fire and earth to create sludgy lava.
Shayla’s magic attack loomed below me, destroying the coliseum ring.
The crowd and the host are both in a state of shock.
But it doesn’t work on me.
Following Shayla’s lead, I used ice magic to freeze the lava.
“Tskl. It’s still not good.”
“The first ice wall was a good idea. I think it’s interesting.”
In front of her is a thick, defensive ice wall.
Unless she breaks it, her attacks will not reach Shayla, allowing her to hit her opponents almost unilaterally.
Magic is suited for long-range attacks. It’s a very smart way to fight.
“I’m not done yet !”
“Hmm?”
The ground shook.
What was going on was that a large amount of magic power was flowing on the ground around the ring.
This reaction…….
“I see, a combination of earth and water.”
As soon as I said that, the ground shattered and something like ivy grew up.
The tendrils grew and entangled my body.
“How about this other thing?”
Shayla creates a large sphere of fire in front of me, who was constrained by the plant.
Extreme attack magic using fire and wind.
Even I would take some damage if I was hit by it in a defenseless state.
With a smirk, I said.
“Adaptation. So that’s your strength.”
I release my aura.
I put my arm into the restraints and forcefully broke the plant’s restraints.
“Wha !? I put quite a bit of magic power into it !”
“Sweet. You should have put all your strength into the restraints.”
The plant continued to move, trying to keep me from escaping, but a fire broke out under my feet.
The magic I created attacked Shayla’s magic.
“I heard that fire is ineffective against earth and water…..but it works against grass.
“Tsk. But I’m ready too !”
A huge ball of fire, completely controlled by magic, falls on my head.
It is large enough to cover the ring, and according to the rules of the match, you are not allowed to go outside the ring.
It is an unavoidable attack.
But that just means it’s unavoidable.
I can defeat it head-on.
Without changing my smile, I pull my sword from the sheath at my waist.
It is a wooden sword.
It’s not originally powerful enough to break through Shayla’s magic.
Even if I put a half-hearted amount of aura into it, it would be burned.
That is why a large amount of aura was poured into it.
Aura users’ strength is proportional to the total amount of aura.
In short, as long as you have aura, you can do anything.
I’m sure that Sister Norn can easily blow away Shayla’s magic even with a twig falling down around there.
I can do something similar. But that would be making fun of Shayla.
A wooden sword will do for now.
I hold the wooden sword in the upper position and swing down with a sharp flash.
Immediately after—magic was cut.
Aura’s ability interferes with the magic, cutting off the magic itself.
It’s a phenomenon where abilities repel each other. It also happens with other abilities.
“….As I thought, it’s no good.”
Shayla shrugged her shoulders and fell on her buttocks.
She is already losing her will to fight.
No wonder.
At the same time that I cut off her offensive magic, the ice wall that was protecting her was also shattered into pieces by my blow.
Even the ring is severed, leaving a large slash on the ground, and the match quietly comes to an end.
There were no more cheers or boos for our match.
No one could say anything together.
Only two people were applauding and cheering.
Cornelia and Lucia.
Both of them were smiling happily, saying that it was a good match.
The air felt even heavier.
I called out to the fallen Shayla to break the awkward atmosphere.
“Ah….Shayla. It was a good fight. You’ve grown.”
“Master Luca,……praising doesn’t suit you.”
“Shut up.”
We smiled at each other, took each other’s hands, and returned to our seats.
The ring we broke was hurriedly repaired by an earth magic user.
My bad.
