"Well then, let the real battle, begin". Shu said.
"Mana Zone: Lightning Dragon Magic: Skylark's Stream"!
"Mana Zone: World Tree Magic: Guard of the Great Tree Ash"!
Shu's spell is trying to pierce through Asahi's defense.
"Strike through"!
"s**t, it will hit me".
The spell have managed to destroy Asahi's defense and Asahi also recieved a decent amount of damage.
"Aaaaa"!
Asahi was sent flying by Shu's spell.
Shu is now starting to feel the backfire effect of summoning Skylark.
"s**t, my body is starting to fall down".
*In Shu's inner pysche plane*
"I've told you didn't I? For you to be able to use the full potential of Skylark, you need a massive amount of magic power. I can give it to you".
"It's rare for you to talk to me. I don't know who the hell you are and I also don't know why you are here? So can you just please keep quiet, devil"?
"Just don't exhaust yourself. If you overdo it, I might take the chance to control your body".
"I've told you didn't I, I wouldn't let you do that".
*Back to the Magic Academy's Arena*
"Guess I only have one shot left huh. I'll finish this battle with that shot".
Meanwhile, Asahi tries to stand up.
"My field magic"
"My field magic"
"is"
"is"
"disappearing"?
"disappearing"?
Both of them said.
"Looks like they can't maintain their field magic anymore. They are running out of magic power now". The Headmaster said.
"But, the dragon is still there, Shu has the advantage". Sora replied.
"Well, you're right".
"Don't think just because your dragon is still there, you already win". Asahi said.
"Mana Zone: World Tree Magic: Seal of the Great Tree Ash"!
"I still have one more shot".
Shu is now immediately at Asahi's back while pointing his Thunder Sword on his neck.
"What?! I thought you were up there".
"Due to exhausting yourself with the field magic earlier, your mana senses are not on the good condition. You can only sense the ones whose mana are dominant on the field and the dominant right now on the field is, Skylark".
"So he taken advantage of Asahi's condition right now. He's truly amazing". The Headmaster said.
"H-How come, you still have this much mana left"?
"Well, I don't know either".
I just used some Light Spirit Magic to travel here faster. I'm almost running out of mana. Now, I will use my final spell to end this.
Asahi managed to react rapidly and moved farther from Shu.
"Lightning Magic: Thunder Swords s***h"!
"World Tree Magic: Guard of the Great Tree Ash"!
"Too bad for you Shu. Looks like this is your final shot".
"Huh? Who said this is my limit"?
"What did you say"?
He run towards his spell and cloaked his hand with the Thunder Sword s***h he released earlier.
"Pierce through,"
"Lightning Magic: One Thousand Blades"!
"What?! He cloaked his hand with the spell he released earlier?! That would be hard to control". Sora said.
"If it's Shu, then he can do it". The Headmaster said.
"He have already proven himself to us". He added.
The blades have pierced through the World Tree Magic and now, Shu is running towards Asahi to land the final blow.
"It's over now, Asahi"! Shu said as he is running towards Asahi while shouting.
"s**t, I, lost".
The spell have created a huge impact on the ground of arena. Shu didn't strike the spell towards Asahi but on the ground. He just knocked him out with the impact of the lightning spell.
*Crowd starts talking*
"Is it over now"?
"Who won"?
"We can't tell from here because of the smoke".
As soon as the smoke disappears, what unravels before their eyes, is Shu standing. It means that Shu won.
*Crowd starts cheering*
"He's really on another level".
"He even managed to defeat Sora and Asahi".
"He is also the wielder of Skylark".
"Looks like we have the advantage on this year's Magic Competition".
"Hmm, you've done well, Shu. Goodluck in the Magic Competition". Riku said to himself while walking out of the arena.
"Congratulations Shu"!! Akari shouted.
"He have really done it now". The Headmaster said.
The Headmaster have gone to the center of arena and tried to catch everyone's attention.
"Now, as you have witness the battle performed by our representatives, they have displayed an amazing performance. With our new representative, Shu Iwasaki, we can be assured of reaching the finals at this year's Magic Competition. That's why everyone, we are expecting you to cheer on us".
Everyone on the arena starts giving their claps and support for the representatives this year, especially to Shu.
"Hoo, go get the championship this year, Shu"!
"Yes, if you're here then our victory is inevitable"!
"Hmm, I never expected you to make a plan like this, Headmaster".
"What are you talking about"?
"You really planned this battle because you want to introduce me formally, don't you"?
"Huh"?
"You know, traditionally, the first-year representative is chosen by practice matches. But this year, it is different. You choose me because I have defeated Prince Ryusei. Since one of my classmates have gone against the decision, you set this battle as my introduction battle".
"So you've seen through that huh. You're quite sharp, Shu".
"Thank you for doing this, Headmaster".
"What, so you really know how to thank someone at all, Hahaha"!
"Wait, what made you think that I don't thank someone"?
Meanwhile, Asahi was taken to the infirmary to take rest. He didn't suffer any injury. He is just tired.
The night is nearing. The students are now on their way home.
"Good work today Shu. You've done well". Sora said.
"Oh, good work today too, Sora. This day is sure tiring. I will sleep immediately right after I got to my house". Shu said.
"Well then, I'll see you tomorrow Shu".
"Take care, Sora"! Shu said as Sora leaves the academy.
"You are not going home yet Shu"? The Headmaster asks.
"Oh Headmaster, I was about to go home. I need to go and get some rest". Shu replied.
"Take care then. We still have training tomorrow". The Headmaster said.
"I'm off now".
Earlier, while he is summoning Skylark, the four-leaf clover appears in his grimoire. It means that when he call the dragon, his grimoire changes. His grimoire is truly interesting. He is not just an ordinary mage. Just who are you, Shu?
"I am drained from the battle earlier. Gotta go and get some good rest right after I got home".
As soon as Shu reaches his home, a man was sitting on the table.
"Captain Yuuto"?! "What are you doing here"?
"Nothing. It just came to my mind that I should pay a visit to my fellow Magic Knight". Yuuto replied.
"You want some tea Captain"?
"I'll love to have it".
While Shu is preparing their tea, they continued their conversation.
"Did you come here to report something about the devils again"?
"Like I've told you Shu. It's not that. I just payed a visit here".
"Oh, then that's good. Looks like the kingdom is in peace for now".
"Yes, I just wonder how long this peace would last".
"Here's your tea, Captain".
"Oh thanks".
Their conversation continued while they were drinking their tea.
Soon enough, they finished their tea.
"Thanks for the tea, Shu".
"It's nothing Captain. You heading out now"?
"Yeah. Oh by the way, goodluck in the Magic Competition. We will be watching their so don't disappoint Julius and me".
"Yes. You can count on me. I will not lose".
"Well then, I'm off now Shu".
"Take care, Captain".
"Now, I gotta get some rest for tomorrow".
Shu starts sleeping on his bed.
A new day has come.
While Shu is on his way to the Academy, he was almost hit by a chariot because the horse suddenly speeds up.
"Oii, watch out"! The woman on the chariot said.
The woman jumped out of the chariot.
Shu noticed the horse and immediately dodged the horse.
The horse have bumped onto the houses and the chariot crashed.
"S-Sorry, Princess. We didn't mean to".
"It's alright. The Magic Academy is near. I can just walk. Just don't expect that you guys still have a job after this".
The woman walked to Shu to ask him
"Are you alright, young man"?
"Yes".
"That uniform, do you also go to the Magic Academy"?
"Yes".
"Then let's go together".
"Eh"?
"So, who are you ma'am"?
"Oh that's right. I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Himari, Himari Yotsuba. I also go to the Magic Academy and I am a third-year".
"So you're from the Yotsuba Family huh".
"We're now here at the school. See you later Shu. I still have to go to the Headmaster".
"Does she have an appointment with the Headmaster? Well, like it even involves me. Gotta go to the arena to continue practicing".
Soon enough, Shu reached the arena.
"Oh, Asahi, Sora, good morning. You guys are sure early today".
"We need to be early of course, the Student Council President will return today". Asahi replied.
"Student Council President"?
"You don't know her, Shu"?
"No, I've never heard of it before".
"Each Magic Schools have their own Student Council which composes of a President and a Vice President". Sora said.
"Actually, Sora is the Student Council Vice President". Asahi added.
"Eh? Is that true Sora"?
"Yes. The Student Council President is also a woman too".
"I see".
"Oh, Headmaster, you guys are here at last". Sora said.
"That's right. She have just returned from the Student Council Presidents Meeting in the Heart Kingdom. She will come later, oh, there she is".
As soon as the woman enter, Shu is surprised by what she have seen. Apparently, the woman he have walked together to the academy earlier is the Student Council President.
"Looks like we've met again, young man".
