34 The final battle (2/2)
Even Emily was greatly surprised as a raging fire tornado came closer to her. But instead of greatly panicking she countered with some huge magic of her own. She combined her magic as well and created a simple fireball, but fused it together with lightning magic. It looked like a fireball with lightning surrounded it, but it would definitely be more powerful than just adding those two together.
Instead of creating just one, which was already hard enough and needed the utmost concentration. Two more appeared in front of her. All three of them fired a the same time into the fire tornado. Coming into contact with each other, both non-beginner level magics exploded. It wasn't an explosion like last time this one was way bigger.
Even I could feel the power of the explosion as I got blasted to the ground. Luckily I didn't receive a lot of damage. Emily as well just like me was blasted to the ground not taking a lot of damage.
Seems we are evenly powerful. I wanted to see if it was possible to not use my other elements but seems like that isn't the case.
I smoothly recovered and got back on my feet. Lightning strikes were already flying towards me. I sighed and cast an earth barrier. If I can't keep it a secret let's just let the world know. The lightning strikes crashed into the earth barrier, they weren't able to pass through at all.
Everyone present including Emily, Angelica, and the Principal was dumbfounded that I actually used another kind of element. Dual-affinity is rare, but Triple-affinity? That's unheard of.
What I did after that shattered everyone's minds yet again. A wave of water was heading in the direction of Emily. She got her mind back on track and used a firestorm to try and destroy the wave.
It succeeded, but she had to put a lot of effort into it. My newly showed elements were perfect counters to hers. Earth could deal with the lightning magic while water could deal with her fire magic. So it didn't take long for me to completely take the upper hand.
I fired rock shards and ice spears in her direction, like crazy and Emily had it difficult to try and counter them. It was draining her stamina very quickly.
After a little bit, it was time for me to end it. Using water magic and wind magic I created a small blizzard raging towards Emily. When I get older and become stronger, spells like blizzard or firestorm won't be so small anymore, they'll be able to sweep up everything in its path.
Emily tried to counter the blizzard to the best of her abilities. She fired only one fireball fused with lightning magic into the center of the blizzard. But it didn't have the same impact as the three from before had on the fire tornado. The blizzard although weakened still went in her direction.
With great difficulty, she was able to cast yet another fireball infused with her lightning magic. This drained her of her last shreds of stamina but was able to stop the blizzard in its tracks.
Even the number one student of the school has limited stamina and will be exhausted. But still she put up a great match, it wasn't easy.
After the blizzard vanished I stood 2 meters away from Emily ready to cast a fireball.
”I lose, I can't counter you anymore.”
Emily knew she had lost and thus accepted her defeat. I stopped casting and said to her.
”That was quite a match Emily, hope you won't hold it against me in the future that I beat you in the end.”
”I'm not that shallow, you won fair and square. But still for you to use 2 more elements. You definitely are a monster.”
”Haha, I guess so.”
The principal walked up on the stage to announce the results. The look on her face was really fun. Surprise was still written on her face. Well, it's to be expected I guess. There have only been stories about mages with an affinity to four different kinds of elements.
”After this amazing match, we had just now our winner has been decided. It's the Drake from 4th year.”
The spectators started clapping, still with faces of disbelief. The principal threw me one last glance and then disappeared from the stage again. Rewards would be handed out later, for now, there wasn't much more for me to do here.
I walked off the stage where I could see the principal waiting for me.
”Meet me in my office.”
And with that, she went off again. Let's see what she is going to say.
