"What is Aoi doing here"?
"Ohh, there's Shu, Princess". Asahi said.
"Oii Shu, we met again"!
"Princess Aoi, what are you doing here at the academy"?
"You don't know anything"?
"Yeah. Then, what are you guys doing here"?
"We are here to fight you guys"!
"Fight us? I am aware that you indeed go to a school but the Magic Competition hasn't started yet".
"They are here because it is for practice".
"Oh, Headmaster. You just came here"?
"Yeah. Never mind that, the reason that the Sixth High School is also here, is because this is a tradition".
"A tradition"?
"Yes. Every year, 2 days before the Magic Competition, the Sixth High School of Heart Kingdom and the Magic Academy of Clover Kingdom, conducts a match".
"Why is it a tradition"?
"It is said that the Miura Family and the Yotsuba Family have a good bond. The Yotsuba Family holds the Magic Academy, and the Miura Family holds the Sixth High School. Since then, the heads of each family decided to conduct a special match annually".
"I see. Wait, I have a question".
"What is it, Shu"?
"Does that mean that the Yotsuba Family and Miura Family will be watching the battle today"?
"Yeah. Oh, there they are now".
The royal families entered the arena together.
"That is, the Yotsuba Family and the Miura Family".
"You must be Shu. It's my first time seeing you". The old man said as he tries to shake hands with Shu.
"Yeah, I'm Shu Iwasaki. And why does the royal families know my name"? He said as he kneel and bow to the old man.
"Oh, that's right. I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Ibuki Yotsuba. I'm the father of Himari Yotsuba. The one you saved yesterday".
"I have to thank you for saving my daughter from that devil. I don't know how to repay you so whenever you are in need of something, just approach us and we will provide that if we can give it". He added.
"I'm still not worthy of such praise, King Ibuki".
"You are really humble just like Yua said, Hahaha! Oh, by the way, come later to our house for some dinner".
"I can't allow myself to eat together with the King".
"Oh come on. Just think of this as a request or an order that you need to follow. Also, could you stand up, you don't need to be so formal with me. I consider everyone as a fellow friend so no need to bow to me while talking".
"If it is the order of the King then I can't go against it. I'll be in your care later tonight"!
"I'm Hina Yotsuba, Yua and Himari's mother. Thank you for saving Himari yesterday, Shu".
"Don't bow to me, the Queen don't deserve this".
"You are really kind and a fine man. You would be a good husband for my daughter".
"You are just joking right, my Queen"?
"It's up to you whether you take it as a joke or not".
"Oh, Miss Yua and Student Council President are also here too".
"Student Council President is too long, Shu".
"Then, Princess Himari would do, right"?
"You can just call me Himari, think of it as a reward because you saved me".
"If that's what the Princess want then I shall do it".
"Ohh, I see. So you're the one who saved Himari, and the one who also defeated the Prince of the Diamond Kingdom".
What with this Mana Zone?! It's like it covers the whole kingdom. It's comparable to the Wizard King's Mana Zone.
"Judging from your Mana Zone, I will assume that you are the Queen of the Heart Kingdom, Aki Miura, right"?
"As expected of the talented mage. You can sense my Mana Zone".
"It's rare for Mother's Mana Zone to be sensed by a mage".
"This is Aoi's big brother, Tatsuki Miura". The Queen said.
"Nice to meet you, Shu Iwasaki".
"So you guys are here now". The Headmaster said.
"Well then, you guys position yourself. We will start the match in a minute".
The Yotsuba Family and Miura Family have gone to their seats.
Shu and the others positioned themself at the arena.
"You are, the Magic Guardian the other day right".
"So you remember me after all, Shu. I'm Yuma, Princess Aoi's personal guard. That's my duty as a Magic Guardian".
"Ohh, I see. I hope we can get in good terms, Yuma".
"Yeah, I wish that too".
"You must be Shu Iwasaki. Nice to meet you, I'm Ryo. I'm also a first year at the Sixth High School. I'm looking forward to get along with you".
"It's been a while now, Asahi Futatsugi".
"You will pay back for what have you done last year, Aoi Miura. This year, we will be the one who will win".
"Now I wonder about that, Asahi". Aoi replied.
"Mages, position yourself"!
"We will now commence the annual traditional match between the Magic Academy and the Sixth High School"!
"Let the match, commence"!
"Let's go, Sora"!
"Yeah, Asahi".
"Mana Zone: Union Field Magic: Bluish Sanctuary"!
"So they have developed a Union Magic huh? Not to mention, it is a Field Magic". Aoi said.
"Awesome. You guys can pull a Union Magic. And it is a Field Magic". Shu said.
"It is too early to celebrate yet, Shu". Sora said.
"Sora's right Shu. Princess Aoi's Mana Zone, is off the charts".
"Mana Zone: Wind Magic: Multiple Wind Scythes"!
"There's her attacks". Sora said.
"Asahi, now"! She added.
"Yeah"!
"Mana Zone: World Tree Magic: Guard of the Great Tree Ash"!
So she's able to use Mana Zone even though there's a Field Magic present.
The spell managed to stop the Wind Scythes.
"Lightning Magic: Flowing Spark"!
The Lightning Spell landed towards Shu's area.
"He uses the Wind Mana before it completely dissolves in the environment". Shu said.
"Yeah, he used the Wind as a bridge for his Lightning Magic". Asahi added.
As expected of a Magic Guardian. They are comparable to the Magic Knights.
"You guys should always be on guard"!
"Fire Magic: Pyro Blast"!
"I'll take care of that".
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunderstorm"!
"Red Lightning? When did he begin to learn that"? Aoi said.
"Who would have thought that I would get to see the red lightning one more time Hahahaha! That kid is truly interesting". Tatsuki said.
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Red Thunder Cloak! and,"
"Lightning Creation Magic: Red Thunder Sword"!
"Woah! A red lightning cloak and a red lightning sword! Hahaha! That kid sure has a lot on his arsenals". The King said.
"Sora"!
"Yeah! Mana Zone: Water Magic: Water Dragon Missile"!
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunder Shock"!
"So he infused his lightning magic with the water magic casted earlier".
"Mana Zone: Wind Magic: Crescent Wind Scythes"!
"Tsk, her spells can stop our spells". Sora said.
"What will we do now"? Asahi asks.
"I'll face Princess Aoi".
"Shu"...
"Don't worry about me, Sora. I got this. Besides, I'm the only who can match her if she were to call her dragon".
"I'll try to divert Princess Aoi by attacking her. I will lure her so that he will only fight me".
"Yeah. We understand". Sora and Asahi said.
"The smoke is so thick that our vision is reduced". Yuma said.
"He's here". Aoi said.
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Red Thunder Stream"!
"Mana Zone: Wind Ma-"
"Tsk. This is a lot faster than his spells earlier. I wouldn't make it in time. In that case, Mana Zone: Wind Magic: Wind Pillar"!
The Wind Pillar didn't managed to stop the Red Thunder Stream pushing Aoi to the other corner of the arena.
"Now it's only you and me, Princess Aoi".
"Oh, I see. So you want me to split with Yuma. If you said right from the beginning that you want to spend some time with me, I will go out with you later".
"Then I'll go out with you tomorrow"!
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunderstorm"!
"Mana Zone: Wind Magic: Wind Pillar! and"
"Mana Zone: Wind Magic: Wind Blades Shower"!
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunder Blast"!
"His red lightning managed to pierce through my wind"?!
"And, Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunder Blade"!
"Mana Zone: Wind Magic: Wind Pi-"
"s**t, I'll not make it in time".
"Now I have finally managed to land an attack on you".
"Our magic attributes may have the worst affinity but, sometimes, the one whose faster in the battle, are the ones who win".
"You are right. It doesn't matter if it's a battle of Wind and Lightning, the one whose a split-second faster, will win".
"Do you admit defeat now, Princess Aoi"?
"I've never ever admitted defeat before. And I will never ever. I have my pride as the Princess of the Heart Kingdom"!
The sky suddenly began to glow.
"Arrays? So you are calling your dragon now huh. This battle will sure be a pain in the neck".
*At Asahi and Sora's clash*
"Huh? Princess Aoi is calling already her dragon"? Asahi said.
"Hmm, it's rare for Princess Aoi to get fired up". Yuma said.
"Maybe Shu have given her a hard time. Well, we are talking about Shu after all". Sora said.
*At the crowd seats".
"I never thought that I would get to see Aoi getting fired up again". Tatsuki said.
*Back to Shu's clash*
"Summoning Magic! Come forth! The dragon who rules the sky, Fafnir"!
"So that's the Wind Dragon, Fafnir".
"Mana Zone: Wind Dragon Magic: Wizard Storm"!
Shu is frightened by the area of effect of the spell and its speed.
"s**t. Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunder Dispersion"!
*At the crowds seat*
"Those are some magic spells".
"That boy's Lightning Magic can match Aoi's Wizard Storm"?!
*Back to Shu's clash*
"I don't think I can, stop it"!
"Haaa! Now! Mana Zone: Wind Dragon Magic: Drain Storm"!
"A new storm spell"?!
"s**t".
The spell have hit Shu which sent him flying towards the crowd's seat.
*At Sora and Asahi's clash*
"Shu"!!! They both shouted.
*Back to Shu's clash*
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Skylark Sword First s***h"!
"I am just barely keeping up with her pace"..
"That sword and, purple lightning"?!
"Don't tell me you wield the-"
"The arrays are now finally ready. Let the real battle, begin"!
