Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 158 It feels as if I am watching Young Lady Astra fight

"It will hurt a little… please be careful…"

Elara warned in an innocent tone.

Then, closing her eyes as if she didn't want to see the result, the 4 Magic Circles in front of her shined brightly. Elara drew the last stroke, the Magic Circle was complete, the Mana inside her Mana Circuit moved, and,

Last Fall.

One of the strongest Earth Elemental Attack Spells a Basic Mage could use. It needs 12 Inner Circle Spells to activate and consumed almost half the Mana a 4th Circle Mage has, so although a 3rd Circle Mage can theoretically use this spell, in truth, couldn't afford to.

Anyways, a 5-meter huge black colored spear appeared on top of Elara's head, her Magic Circles shined brighter than ever, then without waiting any further, Elara shot the Spear towards Marvic as she slowly opened her left eye just to make sure her spell connected.

She didn't like hurting her opponents, however, she also had to make sure that her spells hits him…

Yes, the two were conflicting, Elara herself couldn't understand what she was doing anymore, the only thing she knew was that Vaan smiled a lot when she fought well and that if she showed more interest in Magic Battles, their daily training sessions would continue even after the Elemental Clash ends.

So to spend more time with Vaan an discuss Magic with him, Elara decided to give her all.

'I am done for…'

And Mavric, who was on the receiving end, panicked. He was surrounded by flames, it was so hot and humid around him that he could barely keep his vision clear. Sweat was covering his eyes, even after he wiped it countless times, it didn't show any signs of stopping, and the strength of his spells was reduced to a ridiculous degree.

The huge spear that Elara had formed above Elara's head, Mavric had no answer for that. Water was already weak to Earth Elemental Attacks to begin with, the current situation where Elara held a clear environmental element, made this even worse.

'S-Shit!'

Mavric cursed in his head, especially when he saw Elara closing her eyes. He had no clue how this woman who only used to cast a few defensive spells before ending the battle was now attacking so aggressively, he however, didn't have the time to think about this.

The Spear had shot towards him.

"Aqua Ward."

He muttered, casting one of the strongest Water-based Defense spells available to him. Hoping to stop the attack, however,

*Crack*

The moment the Last Fall and the Aqua Ward clashed, a big hole was formed in the Water Shield and the Spear continued towards Mavric without a single pause or change in its trajectory.

'N-No!'

Mavric shouted inwardly, his face paled in an instant.

In an instant, he abandoned his stance and started running.

"I give up! I give up!"

He shouted desperately, wanting this battle to end as soon as possible, he could tell the Spear would pierce through him in an instant, so in that moment, all his haughtiness and pride had disappeared.

*BOOM*

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard.

"Aaaaggghhh!!"

Mavric screamed in horror as he instinctively covered his head and crouched on the ground. Then slowly, he turned around, looking at the source of the explosion, the smoke cleared up, and he saw the spear that was embedded halfway into the floor.

Elara had changed the direction at the last moment.

*Gulp*

Mavric, however, wasn't the least bit relieved.

Half of the Spear had pierced the floor.

What would have happened if it was his body instead of the floor!?

His body wouldn't have lasted for even a second!

If he hadn't surrendered, he would have died!

Thinking about this, Mavric sweated profusely as he fell on the ground, his body trembling nonstop.

"A-Are you okay…?"

Suddenly, Elara walked towards Mavric and questioned with a worried look on her face.

"Y-You…"

Mavric didn't know what to say.

Wasn't this young woman the reason behind his current situation, why was she acting like she was innocent!? Mavric, however, didn't have the guts required to face this woman, especially after knowing that she was capable of killing him on spot.

He simply turned towards the judge and waited for him to announce the results so he could leave this place as soon as possible.

"Winner, Elara Flameheart!"

The judge declared and as he did, the stadium that had turned absolutely silent finally came out of its reverie and,

"OOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

A huge cheer reverberated throughout the stadium.

This was by far the most showy battle in the tournament. Let alone the Young Mages, even the senior Mages felt that they had learned a lot from this battle,

"That young girl knows how to use her Duel Elements to her advantage, the way she perfectly combined her spells of different elements to create a situation where her opponent had no chance of winning, it is quite eye-opening."

"Indeed, Young Master Vaan is also a Dual Elemental Mage, however, his understanding of his Elements is much weaker compared to her."

"Well comparing the two of them is quite unfair,

Young Master Vaan has a different fighting style, his Advance Magic Circles give him a strong advantage over any of his opponents so he has no need to go further.

Elara, on the other hand, uses her 2 elements to create situational advantage over her opponent and win the battle, the two battle styles are quite different."

"Heh, it feels as if I am watching Young Lady Astra fight." Another old mage chuckled.

"Hahaha~ I thought I was the only one who thought that. Both Master and Pupil have Double Elements and they understand their elements quite well. Lady Astra's battle style was quite similar to when she was a Basic Mage."

"Well, she had a more tactical side, Lady Astra tends to get into prolonged fights as she overpowers and pushes her opponents into a helpless state slowly.

Elara, on the other hand, uses a much more aggressive approach, quite surprising considering her personality."

The mages continued to analyze the battle.

"…"

"Hmmm? What happened, Sister? You seem awfully quite for some reason."

On the other side, a big smile appeared on Vaan's face as he glanced at Lirael who was standing next to him.

"…" Lirael didn't answer.

"I wonder how the Mage who defeated you would have fared if he was up against my Elara." Vaan didn't miss the opportunity to push Lirael down.

"Would it be a close fight? What do you think, Sister Lirael?"

"…" Lirael didn't say anything.

"Well, who am I kidding? That battle would have been as one-sided as this one, there is no way my Elara would struggle against trash like that. She is different from other Mages, after all, unlike someone, she is here to win."

Not wanting to stay here any longer, Lirael decided to walk away. She didn't have the strength or the will to talk to Vaan, this brother of hers has gotten quite... annoying.

Vaan didn't stop her either, he was busy waving at Elara, who was looking at him from the stage with an unsure look on her face. Even now, she looked quite adorable.

On the other hand, Lirael, who was walking away glanced at Elric. The two stared at each other then suddenly,

"Be careful if you wish to win this."

Lirael spoke up.

"…you don't have to worry about me, focus on yourself."

Elric replied, his words, however, weren't as confident as before. He had seen Elara's battle as well, the way she overpowered her opponent…

He doubted even he could do it as masterfully as she did…

However, more surprisingly…

'She used attacking spells… and quite a lot of them…'

He knew Elara's biggest problem, this was the reason that despite her being a talented mage, he never took her seriously but if she had somehow overcome her weakness then…

Then he would be facing Lady Astra's pupil at her full potential.

"Hahaha! You were amazing!"

Out of the blue, Elric heard a joyful laughter that drew his attention. His gaze landed on Vaan, who had lifted Elara as if she were a princess, showering her with laughter and heartfelt praise with a wide, beaming smile on his face.

Elric clenched his fists when he saw that.

His anger soured when he noticed the look on Elara's face as Vaan continued to praise her, the way she looked at him, the smile that was plastered on her face, how she had left her body in his care…

Elric didn't like any of it.

In the end, Elric turned around and walked away. Thinking about all this was pointless, for now, he decided to focus on the tournament.

The Fourth Tier continued with a similar energy, people cheered the mages they supported, some mages created new fans through their performance, Elric, Leif, and the other Vesta Mages continued to win round and round,

This time, however, the one who attracted most of the attention, however, was not a Vesta.

It was Elara, who continued to win round after round and was now walking towards the stage for the Semi-Finals, her opponent?

Leif Vesta.
