So my two seniors are teaming up on me
1609 Words
"What's with the ruckus early in the morning, teacher"?
"Oh Shu, come here".
"Why"?
"Just come here".
Shu just followed his teacher and as he is walking, he sensed a spell being casted.
Just who is it this time?
"I don't know who are you. But if you were to hurt someone with that spell, I'll beat you to death".
The spell caster didn't continue to cast his spell.
"So the rumors are true huh. Your Mana Zone truly covers the whole field, Shu".
This person, he can tell I am using Mana Zone.
"And, who are you"?
"Oh that's right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am the Headmaster of the Magic Academy, Kousei".
"The Headmaster? Forgive me for my rudeness earlier, I don't know that you are the Headmaster".
"It's alright, I just did it to test your skills".
"You did it to test my skill"?
"Yes. Your Mana Zone is excellent".
"I'm grateful that the Headmaster praised me".
"Then, let's head now to the field to start the practice".
"Yes".
They begun walking to the field. On their way, they had a short conversation.
"Your grimoire, it doesn't have a clover".
"You're the first one to notice that, Headmaster".
"It is a special grimoire".
"How did it become special"?
"Because it doesn't have any identifications".
"Huh"?
"If you were to have a three-leaf grimoire, then that means you're just a normal mage to begin, like me".
"If you have the four-leaf grimoire, you're more likely to be chosen by spirits or dragons".
"So it's like that huh".
"If your grimoire is a five-leaf, then you're a devil-possessed mage".
"Huh? Do the five-leaf grimoire exists"?
"Yes. Long time ago, two mages battle with their full power. The other one is a mage who has a four-leaf grimoire while the other one is a mage who has the five-leaf grimoire".
"Devils"?
"That's right. It is said that the mage who has the four-leaf grimoire possesses all of the elemental spirits".
What? This is almost the same as the Astral Prince.
"While the devil possess a magic that has an unknowing power. It is said that only the mage who has the four-leaf grimoire can rival that mage which is possessed by the devil".
Maybe the mage who has the four-leaf grimoire is the Astral Prince while the mage who has the five-leaf grimoire is the Abyss Prince. So the Headmaster knows this too, but he didn't mention the Astral Prince or the Abyss Prince.
"It was a famous legend. Even though it's just a legend, I believe that it is true. I believe that it happened. Don't you believe too, Shu"?
"I'm not sure about that".
So it was known as a legend huh.
"Don't mind that now, we have some practice to do".
"Yes".
"We only have five days left before the Magic Competition. I'll do my best to shape you guys in your best form".
"Here we are now. The field of the Magic Academy".
"Huh? They're battling"?
"They're practicing".
"So this is the type of practice we will do".
Those two don't want to be outshone by Shu. Well, they are his seniors after all. It would be a shame if their junior is stronger.
"Mana Zone: World Tree Magic: Roots of the Great Tree Ash"!
"It's been long since I've seen that spell. Then, I'll not hold back then".
"Mana Zone: Water Magic: Cyclonic Waves"!
"What will that do? It's just water".
"Just wait for it".
"Wait for what, Headmaster"?
"Now"!
"Mana Zone: Water Magic: Explosive Waves"!
"What"?!
"Hmm, I've also trained this past few days so I can get stronger than before. We will absolutely win at the Magic Competition this year".
"Headmaster, isn't that-"
"Yes, it is the full extent of Mana Zone".
"Sora is awesome. I can't believe a have a senior like her".
"Then, let's go to them now. We will start the training".
"Sora, Asahi, good morning".
"Oh, Shu and the Headmaster too. You guys are here now. Good morning".
"Good morning, Headmaster"..
"Good morning to all of you. Then, I must explain first the rules of the tournament. Each school's representative will be in a team of three. One from the first-year, second-year and third-year. It is done in order to balance the matches. The tournament will consist of five matches. If the school were to lose one time, they will be eliminated from the tournament. Last year, the Magic Academy's tournament race ended at the quarterfinals wherein we face the First High, the school of Ryusei. They are also the champions last year".
"But, Shu being here means we stand a chance, don't you agree Sora"?
"We can't be confident with that Asahi. He is one of the Three Great Dragons so maybe he'll come back stronger".
"You have a point Sora".
"Three Great Dragons? What is that"?
"You've never heard of them Shu"?
"Yeah".
"There are three mages that are currently known to wield dragons. The first one is Prince Ryusei from the Diamond Kingdom.
The second one is Princess Aoi from the Heart Kingdom".
"Aoi wields a dragon"?
"So you just address her now as Aoi huh. What happened last night Shu? You didn't make a move on her didn't you, Hahaha!"
"Stop with that joke Asahi. Never mind that, she wields a dragon"?
"Yes. He is a second-year right now too at the Sixth Magic High of Heart Kingdom. They came in third place last year".
"Maybe that's what she meant when she said she'll meet me again at the Magic Competition".
"The third one is Aoto Aoki from the Spade Kingdom. His magic is shadow magic and he wields a Dark Dragon".
"What?! Dark Dragon"?
"He is Ryusei's rival. They came in second place last year".
"Rival"?
"Yes. Ever since they are in their childhood, they always see each other as rival. Given that their magic attributes are the opposite".
It's rare for a mage to have a shadow magic or dark magic. It's one of the rarest magic attribute that can exist. This is my second time encountering a Shadow Magic user.
"So, how strong is Aoto"?
"It is said that he is stronger than Ryusei. They just lost last year because Ryusei casted a spell towards his teammates and he have no choice but to protect them. Ryusei takes advantage of Aoto and attacked him when he is open. That's the reason they were defeated".
"I see. So he is stronger than Ryusei huh. This just gets more interesting".
"Those three studies from the Ten Master Schools".
"I've heard of that before. They are the top performing Magic Schools in the whole world. The magic power of their students are exceptional and they are talented".
"So you've heard of them Shu".
"Yes, Headmaster. The First High of Diamond Kingdom is the school that we need to watch out for. Not only Ryusei but also his teammates. They will not be chosen if they are not talented".
"Shu is right. Except the Three Great Dragons, we must watch out too for the other schools".
"Given that, we shall now start practicing".
"What type of practice are we going to do"?
"We will focus first on improving your instincts in battle. You three will go on a royal battle. You will fight each other. You guys can use Mana Zone so this shall be an interesting battle. Oh, for starters, warm up first. I'll go get the students to watch you guys".
"Heh, this is not like you Headmaster. What happened"? Sora asks.
"Nothing. I just feel like letting the students see how strong the representatives are this year".
"I'm on my way now, I'll inform the teachers to let their students watch your battle guys".
"Take care, Headmaster".
Sora, Asahi and Shu started warming up.
"We must win this year, Shu. You know the issue about my little sister, right"?
"Yes. I don't have any intention of giving Akari to a man like that. Even though I am not on the right place to say this, Akari deserves better".
"I'm glad that you've came to the Magic Academy, Shu".
Good thing they are getting along.
Meanwhile, the Headmaster is back.
"Are you guys done warming up"?
"Oh, Headmaster".
"They are here now. The students. They will watch your battle".
"So it will start now huh". Shu said
"Well, let's give our best". Asahi replied
"Let's give an interesting battle to the students". Sora added
"Now, mages. Position yourselves"!
"Yes"! The three replied.
*Crowd is talking*
"So that is Shu".
"He's so cool".
"He's the one who saved Akari from the demons right"?
"Don't forget he also defeated Prince Ryusei".
"They know me"? Shu asks.
"Are you an i***t"? Asahi replied.
"From what you've done these past few days, you've attracted a lot of attention".
"Oh, I see". Shu said.
Goodluck, Shu and Brother Asahi.
Meanwhile, Riku stands at the corner watching their battle.
"These three students are the representatives of the Magic Academy this year. You will see them in a battle royal and witness their exceptional magic power and prowess, and talent".
"Are you ready, mages"?
"Yes"!
"Then, let the battle begin"!
"I'll go first then". Shu said.
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunder God's Armor".
"So you immediately equipped yourself with a cloak of lightning, Shu".
Meanwhile, Asahi go to Sora.
Huh? Why aren't they doing anything? Asahi is just walking.
"We know you are strong Shu".
"And that's why, we will team up to beat you".
"So my two seniors teaming up on me. That's quite unfair but, it's also quite interesting. Well then, entertain me, do not disappoint me".
