Now that the second round had begun, five teams were ready to battle. Four teams would fight, with one team getting a bye.
"We're back for the fight between the first division!"
"The second round will proceed!"
"And the two teams will be picked to fight!"
"The first team that is chosen to fight is Team Evergreen!"
Everyone cheered, seeing that Evergreen would fight. They had garnered some attention from the previous round of beating Avaris.
"And the team that will be facing Team Evergreen! Will be Team Igarde!"
This was intense. Any of these teams could have made it to the final fight. It was a shame that they had to fight so early.
With both teams sending out their weaker, the grunts began to eliminate each other teams one by one.
Team Igarde was currently in the lead and was beating Team Evergreen by one person, but the lead wasn't so far off.
Gold was worn out on the stage with Steele, who had recovered from the kick. Gold had just defeated an opponent from Evergreen but was tired.
Steele's magic was weak against Gold's lightning, but I don't think it would make a big difference.
The fight began with Steele attempting to drown Gold. Steele was pissed off about the fight with Rebecca.
Gold, a second-rank mage, couldn't do anything to a third-rank mage. So everyone could tell that the fight was over.
Before Gold could drown, Steele had stopped. Gold knew she couldn't win, so she stepped out of the arena sending in the next person on their team.
After Gold was Ruby, this was going by the exact order from the previous round. With the two of them up, no one was talking.
The match was now even. Gold hasn't harmed Steele so Steele could fight Ruby at her capacity at its fullest.
When the two of them were ready, the fight began immediately. With Steele being defensive and Ruby offensive, they will be fighting differently.
Will Ruby's magic be able to break Steele's magic? Or will she drown just like Gold? That's what makes the fight so intriguing.
In terms of mana, these two were similar. The one who was more experienced in battle will win in today's match.
Ruby started to run in with the match starting. Steele was the same as usual, and she tried to push Ruby away from her.
With the water in the arena, Ruby was now restricted from moving. The two of them then launched range attacks at one another.
Steele had a field advantage, and she could attack from any angle as long as the water was there.
Both Ruby's and Steele's magic were ineffective against one another. Ruby had copied what Steele was doing and had also played defensively.
The only way one would win is when the other person's mana level is depleted. Another ten minutes had passed, and both of their mana was close to zero.
They had been firing their mage at one another nonstop. Finally, the battle ended in a draw, with both sides unable to fight.
It was now Lisa and Emerald's turn to fight. Both of them are one of the top best for the age. The winner of this fight would have a significant moment in the next few days.
The fight had started, and Lisa made a barrier out of air. Emerald's acid was being reflected. The moves that Emerald made were sent back.
"Have you ever felt pain before?"
Out of nowhere, Emerald asked a question.
"Nope~ Why?"
"Cause I'm gonna make you feel it."
Emerald's attitude matched very well with her magic. I doubt if Emerald and I were to talk, I wouldn't be able to slap her in the face. That was how punchable her face was.
"Is that so~?"
Lisa didn't mind what Emerald said. After all, Lisa's magic had made her almost invincible within her rank.
Without holding anything back, Emerald mana usage surged. Covering her whole body in acid, she ran toward Lisa and tried to rip through Lisa's air barrier.
The traces of acid Emerald lift had melted some of the floors. Lisa, who saw this, began to get serious.
"Fuck!"
I accidentally blurted out. Everyone who heard me looked at me strangely.
"What's wrong, Charlie?"
"Lisa's magic isn't Air Manipulation. It's Vector Manipulation."
A certain white-haired man had appeared in my head, and I had seen an anime about powers like that.
"Vector Manipulation?"
Serena seemed confused by what I said. But looking at how Lisa used it, I could say she wasn't proficient. A sigh could be seen me realizing how weak it was when she used it.
"It's hard to explain in a few words. I will tell you about it later. Watch the fight, and you will see why."
Even when Emerald was fighting seriously, Lisa was unharmed by Emerald. Instead, Lisa was treating Emerald like a child.
It wouldn't be surprising if Lisa could beat Chelsa. Lisa created a blade out of air. It was enough to cut through Emerald.
"Sorry, I still haven't experienced the pain you wanted me to feel."
"This was fun. You made me try pretty hard."
Lisa then controlled the gravity pushing Emerald down. This force was more potent than what she did to Rebecca.
The fight was over, and I couldn't see a way for Emerald to win. Emerald was crushed by the force that Lisa had made.
It wouldn't be hard to imagine some broken bones from what Lisa did. But, then, finishing Emerald off, Lisa sent Emerald flying with just a single touch.
"Team Evergreen had won!"
Everyone was excited to see how Lisa had crushed Emerald. Emerald's bad mouth had caused some discomfort among the crowd.
Looking at Lisa, she was now the number one person who our team should look out for. While she couldn't use many of her abilities, her magic was still strong.
"Next up, we have Team Star State! And Team Etheal!"
That would mean Grandelle would get a bye. On the other hand, team Etheal wasn't too hard to deal with.
