Parallel Memory

Hiro came out on top in this epic battle! Zion gave everything he had but still suffered defeat in the hands of Hiro.

-CHEERS!

"Hiro! Hiro! Hiro!"

"WOW! What an amazing fight!"

"So this is what the upcoming generation is capable of!" ...

"Wow, what an explosive match that was! The force of that last blow was incredible, and it's a testament to the strength and resilience of these fighters that they were able to withstand it for as long as they did. But in the end, it was Hiro who emerged victorious, and he earned his spot in the next round of the competition.

"Let's give a round of applause to both of these fighters for putting on such an intense and exciting match. And to Hiro - congratulations on your win, and good luck in the final!"

The announcer said with excitement. Everything about the battle was amazing. Be it their high level skill, their extraordinary power and the fact that they are just students, adds up the excitement.

The audience erupted in cheers and applause for the victor, as Hiro stood in the ring, breathing heavily. It was not long before he too collapsed on the ground.

-THUD!

"Medic! Medic! We need a medic in the ring, quick!"

The staff member yelled out urgently.

Within seconds, the medical team rushed into the ring with their equipment, ready to attend to Hiro and Zion. They carefully assessed their condition and provided them with the necessary medical attention.

They could see that Hiro had collapsed because of exhaustion and overstressing his muscles. While he had many injuries and broken bones, they were treatable though not immediately.

On the other hand, Zion's condition was complicated. Not only did he receive a strong attack at the end but his body was basically destroyed due to him overusing the skill, Sovereign Will II.

His mana was exhausted, and his muscles and nerves were torn apart. His bones were on the verge of breaking apart and he was suffering from a lack of blood. His condition was not something that the medical team could solve.

While applying healing magic and giving potions to Zion, he was escorted out of the stadium. This was an emergency situation and Zion needed to be taken to the hospital immediately. The professor and Sylvia accompanied them.

Lisa and Misha were expected to compete in the next match, so they couldn't leave right away. The same was for Professor Mia who had to oversee their participants. Although they were all concerned for Zion, they couldn't just abandon their responsibilities. They just hoped that Zion would make it through.

Likewise, Hiro was receiving treatment. He had to fight in the next round and could not be taken to the hospital even though he was severely injured.

While their condition was worrisome, the tournament could not be stopped. They continued the competition with Lisa and Misha making their way toward the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you're all still on the edge of your seats because the second match of the semi-final round is about to begin! We have two incredibly talented fighters ready to face off in the ring. On one side, we have the Thunder Mage, Lisa Mavis, who has proven time and again that she's one of the most skilled fighters in the competition. And on the other side, we have the winner of the first round, Misha Kanon, who surprised everyone with her incredible agility and strength.

"This is a battle between two of the most talented girls. The stakes are high, and the pressure is on. Who will come out on top and earn their spot in the final round? It's anyone's guess at this point, but we can guarantee that it's going to be an electrifying match. The battle begins now!"

The referee signaled the start of the fight.

Lisa and Misha stared at each other, waiting for one another to make the first move. One wrong move and you would end up losing. As they had an idea of each other's strengths, they were clearly more cautious of each other.

A Mage would usually be at a disadvantage in a battle with a close combatant, especially in a ring with limited areas like these. However, judging by rank, Misha was less powerful than Lisa.

Although that was the case, Misha was faster than Lisa and could easily close the gap, which put Lisa at a disadvantage. Lisa had to make sure to keep her distance while slowly overwhelming Misha with her powerful spell.

However, Misha would obviously try to avoid that. Moreover, Lisa had almost shown everything she had in her battle with Sylvia while Misha still had yet to show her trump cards.

With that said, Lisa was more at disadvantage in this fight than Misha. However, the outcome is yet to be known.

A few seconds passed by as none of them had shown any sign of making a move. The atmosphere was tense with each passing second. At that time, Lisa decided to break the silence.

[ "Plasma Discharge" ]

Several balls were formed and were coming toward Misha. Misha immediately avoided the harmless-looking balls. While it looks weak, touching it would decrease one's strength.

For someone like Misha who had high speed, it was nothing difficult to dodge the Plasma Discharge.

[ "Thundering Blaze" ]

However, Lisa does not want to give Misha the time to take it easy. Followed by a Plasma Discharge, Lisa used a fast attack that was difficult to dodge.

[ "Shattering Flower Style: Petal In The Wind" ]

-WHOOSH!

Thundering Blaze struck the ground instead of Misha who had already fled the area. The attack continued to follow Misha but Misha easily dodged every attack. However, Misha was not blindly dodging Lisa's attack, she was also trying to get near Lisa.

[ "Shattering Flower Style: Rose Blossom" ]

Misha unleashed her attack when Lisa was in her range. Lisa was calm as she had already expected Misha's attack.

[ "Violet Flash" ]

In a flash, Lisa disappeared from her current position and appeared hundreds of meters away.

[ "Lightning Strike" ]

As Lisa gained distance, she continued to attack Misha. However, just like earlier, Misha dodged those attacks and again tried to close the distance between her and Lisa.

[ "Shattering Flower Style: Withered Petal" ]

Misha once again tried to attack Lisa. Her strike was much quicker than her earlier attack.

[ "Violet Flash" ]

Nevertheless, Lisa easily dodged the attack and created distance once more. Her strategy was simple, keeping Misha moving and making her use skills to exhaust her energy. In front of Misha who could easily dodge her attacks, she decided to use this strategy to win. It was simple yet very effective.

[ "Thunder Baptism" ]

[ "Shattering Flower Style: Petal In The Wind" ]

Misha dodged the attack which was much stronger than the previous one. As she was dodging, she also knew that Lisa was trying to exhaust her mana and stamina. Without a doubt, she can't be compared to Lisa when it comes to Mana.

However, she was also not intending to keep dancing in her palm. Misha lifted her sword in the air, channeling her mana into the sword, and then plunged her sword into the ground with all her might.
