346 Intentions - II

Lishia looked at the crowd cheering her, and it kind of reminded her of Halcyon where she would get similar treatment.

"Well done, Princess," Kiara said from her room with a smile on her face.

"She is quite strong for a First Year, using that spell without wasting mana is quite impressive," Jodie added.

Amidst the clapping and cheering of the crowd, standing up Damian felt a bit sour losing, but he was wasn't unhappy with his performance.

His fight was over the moment he felt the strength in his arm fading, and if he got more reckless he was sure there will be a few people that would get quite angry.

The Professors fixed the stage with their magic and restored it for the next match.

"Isn't that magic too powerful!" Livia asked looking at Helena.

"It is if you stay exposed in it for too long," Helena answered.

"He was forced to stay on that stage and she used it for her advantage," Helena added.

"And he was already injured, so his arm got affected by it much quickly," Helena said.

There were various things that were possible with Black Element, and one of them were curses.

If someone had the affinity to cast such a magic, they could drain their opponent, and weaken them by using the corrosive property of Black Element.

"There are few ways you can counter it," Helena said looking at the twins.

"Move out of the range of the spell, or possess higher affinity of Black Element than your opponent," Helena said with a smile.

"There other ways, but you can start learning about them while studying here," Helena added.

She gave Livia the answer she needed, but not the complete answer.

"Although, he could have tried to push her further, but it was better to stop right there," Helena said.

"It's good he is not reckless like some youngsters I remember," Helena said making Arthur and David uncomfortable.

Nate just shook his head, as he was glad that his brother still had a brain left in his head.

Lishia walked off the stage, and her display of strength attracted many eyes, some were out of admiration but some were not.

Lot of talks were happening especially in the Third VIP Section, and among them were the people from Black Market.

"Seeing this, I don't think that the rumours about the Royal Family are true," A middle aged man said.

"You think there has been so much movements and friction in Halcyon for nothing?" Another man asked.

"Enough, this is not the place to discuss such things," An old man said stopping them at once.

But not talking about it doesn't meant that the doubts disappeared, and the old man knew that very well.

Although the group behind Black Market was tied with the Elite Families and the other powerhouses but they maintained their distance from them.

Getting too involved in something would only make things difficult from them.

"What are the odds for the next match," The old man asked.

"It is close," The middle aged man replied.

"The Next Match is between, Rank 6 Elena Rothschild vs Rank 7 Amelia Von Greville,"

As the next match was announced, a lot of people got excited as the two families had an open dispute with each other in the Representative Tournament with Nathan and Dalton going against each other.

"It will be a interesting match," One of the guys sitting in the Student Section spoke.

"I heard they were friends until things went wrong between their families," He added.

"Yeah, I heard that Amelia Greville studied with Elena Rothschild when she was in Desmar," A girl spoke out.

"Doesn't look like friends to me though," One of them said pointing at the stage.

"I said, 'were' idiot," The guy said but it was hard to believe that two people with a cold expression on their faces were once friend.

Amelia didn't like Elena the moment she insulted her family, and Elena changed her opinion when Amelia had an argument with Kevin.

And seeing her Crimson Red Eyes, reminded her of Asher, the one guy she hated the most in the World.

Alfred and Dalton both went quiet as the others didn't say anything.

'It's better that he is not here,' Sylvus thought thinking of Nathan.

He could only imagine what would happen if Nathan and Dalton were present at the same time while this match was happening.

"You seem quite confident," Elena said walking to her position.

"I am," Amelia replied with her indifferent expression.

While the Referee was about to start the match, Livia was cheering for Amelia.

Both Elena and Amelia got ready as they flared their mana.

Amelia wasn't overconfident because she knew Elena was powerful and so did Elena.

Unlike the previous fight, they were fairly matched except the fact that Elena was bit more powerful than Amelia as pure mage.

But in a duel, Amelia had the advantage as she could increase her strength using Augmentation Magic.

"3...2...1 Start!!"

Boom!

The moment the match started, Elena immediately used Fire Magic to create explosion around the area Amelia was standing.

But Amelia had casted her mana barrier so she was fine, and in response Amelia made a ring of fire appear around Elena.

"Ignite," Amelia augmented her spell, making it much more powerful.

Elena made water emerge around her, clashing with Amelia's spell.

"Spike," Elena said as Amelia noticed spear like spikes appear from the ground.

She dodged backwards as she a fireball emerged in her hand and soon 5 more appeared.

She shot them towards Elena, who made a shield of Fire that absorbed Amelia's attack.

"Is this all you got?" Elena asked as she made spear of fire appear by raising her hand in the sky.

Her bracelet started shining, as Amelia felt a glow around her feet.

"A Restriction artifact," David said looking at the Stage.

Suddenly a barrier appeared around Amelia, making it impossible for her to move.

"Dodge this," Elena said as she sent the Fire Spears towards Amelia.

Amelia frowned but she made a mana barrier, but Elena's attack were more powerful than she anticipated.

'Is it another artifact,' Amelia thought.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

At third hit, the barrier shattered making Elena smile as her plan worked.

The ring that Elena was wearing increased the intensity of her Fire Element spells, and also slightly increased her damage output.

It was a B Rank Artifact, that she received only recently.

But as the Fourth Spear of fire made its way towards Amelia something strange happened.

Sylvus focused his eyes on Amelia, more importantly the spell she was chanting.

Suddenly the arrow that travelling towards Amelia, dissipated as soon as it got near her.

It was strange thing, but Elena was confused by this until she realized that Amelia had destructured her spell by forcing the mana around her to absorb it.

It was special technique a lot of mages used, but it also drained quite a lot of mana and strained their mana core in the process.

But Amelia who had the Greville Bloodline managed to pull it off, but despite being surprised by this Elena immediately composed herself.

Amelia couldn't do this endlessly, and Elena still had time until the restriction spell on Amelia faded.

But Amelia made a wave of fire appear in front of her with the motion of her hands, and it acted as a shield against Elena.

Suddenly the match that appeared to favor Elena became stalemate, as Elena's fire spears were absorbed by Amelia's spell.

"They are taking their time," Elsa who was watching the match muttered.

She knew that both of them knew more powerful spells, but they needed time and opening to cast them.

And till then, they could only corner each other using such spells.

'It seems she learned a bit from those books,' Sylvus noticed that Amelia was utilizing her knowledge from the books she took from her visit in Mage Association.

Meanwhile Farnus was smiling, as he hoped this match to go in a certain direction.

Nobody was aware of his intentions, and even his faint smile went unnoticed by others.
