Chapter 137: Main Tournament (Part-3) (2/2)

“Eh… Winner of the first match is Princess Leena!” Principal Winde announces, looking a bit surprised as well.

“And yes, please let me remind you that none of the participants on the losing side were harmed in any way. Miss Naomi just informed me that they will wake up soon enough.”

The crowd collectively sigh in relief. Everyone, including me, saw that strange black miasma and thought that something bad might’ve happened.

“So, this is how powerful the other races are… It was truly amazing,” Maya mutters in awe.

Everyone nods, silently agreeing with her. The match ended just way too fast. It was quite overwhelming for everyone.

After the shocking first match, a series of somewhat similar duels go on for almost an hour. For some reason, Vampires and Elves are matched against the low-level Beastkins. Even the high-level Beastkins keep eliminating the weaker contestants from their own race.

After a while, Zakira’s turn comes and the exact same thing happens in her match as well. She just waves her hand and all of her five opponents collapse a second later (though there’s no black miasma this time).

“What the heck? This is so boring…” I complain loudly.

“Yes, the disparity in power is too great. Nothing exciting is happening,” Evelyn agrees.

“Hmm… It’s like they are deliberately trying to eliminate all the weaker competitors,” Layla says.

“I think so, too,” I say, remembering what Pink said.

After some more duels, I finally get called to the waiting room. Looking a bit grim, all of my women wish me luck before sending me off. Clearly, that they don’t want to see me lose, but there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

Oh, fuck it… I am not going to just drop down without doing anything. I will try to land one spell, at least.

[Good luck!]

Walking down the stands, I enter the waiting area. The people in my group are already here, looking quite nervous and fidgety already.

As my group consists of all the top rankers in the qualifying tournament, Debbie (Leo’s girlfriend) and Aria (Rebecca’s sister) are here as well. But unlike their usual talkative selves, they’re unbelievably quiet today.

“Alright, it’s your turn now. Go to the arena.”

Finally, Miss Laura (my class-teacher) enters the waiting room and leads us to the arena.

And once again, things start progressing in the same pattern as before…

We take our respective positions in the arena, Princess Ilyrana walks down from the stands with a faint smile on her face, and Principal Winde begins the count-down.

There’s just one tiny difference this time— I have not given up like others. As my goal is to just land a single spell, I am already preparing for it.

And mind, it’s not going to be just any spell, it’s going to be the most powerful spell I can currently use. Black system taught me this spell a while ago and I have yet to use it in an actual duel/match. It’s not like I didn’t want to use this spell, it’s just that nearly all of my mana gets depleted once I perform it— rendering me unable to fight anymore.

You can say that this is the perfect opportunity to use it.

Here we go…

“Three… Two… One… Start!”

“Chaos-ball!” I shout out without wasting a second.

The next instant, a sphere of dark purple energy materializes between my hands and launches itself towards Princess Ilyrana.

Looking a bit impressed by my quick action, Princess Ilyrana gives me a wide smile. But that’s it, she doesn’t seem remotely concerned about my attack. Lifting up her delicate hand leisurely, she casts a counter-spell. Immediately, a powerful white light erupts a few meters in front of her, forming a thick semi-transparent barrier.

But well, her smile falters the moment my chaos-ball comes in contact with her barrier— getting replaced by a horrified look instead.

Why? Because her barrier doesn’t last even for a second against my chaos-ball, getting shattered immediately.

Looking extremely flustered, Princess Ilyrana raises bother of her hands this time, preparing to cast some more defensive spells— but there’s no need for it anymore.

POP

With a small popping noise, Naomi appears in front of Ilyrana and points her hand towards my chaos-ball. Suddenly, the space around the chaos-ball distorts and it vanishes into thin air.

…

“Jacob and his team are the winners of this match.”

Naomi says in a low and cold voice but it still gets carried throughout the stadium. And for the first time since I met the White Fox Goddess; there’s fear in her eyes.
