30 The tournament 2 (1/2)

”Kid better back down now, I don't want to hurt you.”

”Don't worry about me, I can handle it. Can't say the same thing about you though.”

”Don't blame me for getting hurt later on.”

”Right back at you.”

While I had a small grin on my face, my opponent definitely had not. He was a bit pissed off. Probably thinking that a kid like me wasn't his opponent.

And would I be a regular 12-year-old that would definitely be true. But too bad for him, I'm not.

My opponent was a fire mage. As soon as the battle started he fired a huge flamestorm in my direction. Everyone thought it would already be over and even some of the teachers were getting ready to intervene as they thought I wouldn't survive otherwise.

But not a second after all spectator's had their mouth wide open. I had cast a similar firestorm and both exploded in the middle of the ring. Both had the same amount of power, so neither of us got any damage.

Up until now, I have only used basic spells like a fireball or a wind cutter. Never would anyone have thought I was able to use more powerful magic like this firestorm.

”That all you've got?” I said with a smile on my face.

”Haha you got some ability I'll give you that, doesn't mean you can beat me though.”

”We'll see about that.”

Right after he began throwing fireballs at me like crazy. I just easily dodged them or canceled them out with a similar fireball.

”I'm getting bored, don't you have something more?”

”Tsss”

He was getting pissed off. Even though a fireball is quite basic, if you are a 7th-year student it should be way more powerful than a measly 4th-year student. Yet I was easily canceling them out.

”Let me show you some real magic.”

And with that, I conjured up a fireball and with the use of my wind magic, I compressed it so it would be much smaller. Even though it was really small about the size of a bullet. The penetrative force it had would be tremendous.

Using wind magic I propelled the fire bullet forwards with great speed. Seeing the danger my magic had he conjured up a fire shield. It should lessen the power of my magic. When both came into contact my fire bullet easily pierced through the fire shield.

He got an extremely scared look on his face. If this fire bullet would hit him he would suffer tremendous injuries. Luckily a teacher was prepared and conjured up an ice barrier.
