56 Battle Begins (1/2)
Ray took the stage as he will be fighting on the first match. He has a long golden hair for a male as it reaches his shoulders and has a fair skin. His looks were attractive that he immediately charmed the audiences just by standing there.
He already wore the two bracelets and placed the mirror on his left chest pocket. He felt that with these three mana artifact he had, he could conquer all his matches.
As soon as his opponent showed up, he confirmed that it was indeed someone he knew from the intelligence report gathered by the student council.
'Lauren Young, she's known for her perfect utilization of Wood Element spells. Her casting and reaction speed are both top notch, her only known weakness is that she's not compatible with other elemental spell.'
Ray remembered the report about her opponent.
'Although she can utilize other elements, the casting time takes much longer. Since that's the case, I'll just have to use it as my advantage. But I also have to consider that our opponents are aware of our intelligence report or they know their own weakness that was revealed so they can be prepared as well.'
After the referees noticed that the two combat magicians were ready, they signaled the start of the battle. A whistle was blown alongside the referees announcement.
Their Mana Shell was immediately activated. Ray immediately used a Field Magic to make the environment in favor for him.
”Freezing Mine Field!”
This magic spell was unique to the mana artifact made by Ross. Although it wasn't as powerful as a Domain Magic, it could still affect the environment to make it to your advantage.
Lauren didn't stay idle, she strengthened her Mana Shell. She didn't bother struggling to fight for better environment, although her mobility was lessened due to the Field Magic that Ray casted, she decided to make one pure and powerful attack at Ray to destroy his Mana Shell.
After all, even if the field was to your advantage, the aim of the battle were still to destroy the Mana Shell protecting your body.
The stage was almost filled with ice and Ray's mana pool decrease by a large chunk. He noticed Lauren defending her position and made an attack.
'It would now be difficult for her to cast Wood Element spell. Then her plan now should be attacking my Mana Shell thinking that the Field Magic is just some normal frost to affect mobility and deal some small damage when casted.'
”Fire Blast!”
Lauren stepped on the ice field to gain some closer distance and has thrown her Grade 2 magic spell. She knows that this spell won't be affected by the Grade 1 field magic. Apparently, even though she was known to her Wood Element spell, she wanted to surprise them that she can also be a versatile magician.

”Archon -- Fire Arrow”
Everyone was surprised about this spell that Ray has thrown to match the Grade 2 Fire Blast Spell. Lauren frowned at this, it was obvious that an exclusive skill of a mana artifact especially those that reaches Grade 2 of level would be stronger than any standard magic spell. But now, Ray even used a small Fire Arrow to contend against the massive fire thrown toward him.
She might understood if he has thrown an Archon's Water Bubble spell but she couldn't comprehend this pitiful Fire Arrow. This made her a bit worried since she felt that her opponent is planning something.
But since this happened so fast, they no longer have enough time to think and the two magic spell collided... or not.
As soon as the two spell neared each other, the Fire Arrow actually managed to barely dodge the Fire Blast and proceeded to hit Lauren Mana Shell instead.
She didn't gave up her control on the Fire Blast as she already casted a defensive magic spell to protect her a while ago. Also, she was confident that even with just her standard Mana Shell, it would not receive any significant damage from a standard magic so she decided to ignore it.
As soon as the Fire Blast neared Ray, he tried to dodge on the side.
