The crowd went ecstatic when the student wielding a large axe roared and began running straight into a large wolf, savagely swigging his axe down into it, the wolf savagely clawing and biting back, the other wolves began circling around his flanks.
"Umm.... this is a bit.... brutal?" I commented, looking at the spectacle.
"Ummmm.... would it be okay, if the creatures were actually holograms and not real living things?...." Daisy asked.
"Hmmmmm a little... But the whole thing, people fight in an arena.... kinda barbaric?..." I replied.
"Yeah I see where you're coming from Emilia" Jay added, still watching on looking excited, "Ohhh Ohhh!!! Look!!! The Wizard used 'Slow', on the two ogres." He explained pointing at the robed student at the back as he poured out a viscous liquid disappearing before it reached the ground magically causing the ogres to begin moving extremely slowly.
The fighters locked into combat trading hit with one of the giant dire wolf, with each claw and bite sending him deeper into a raging frenzy. Fixated on the wolf in front of him savagely delivering and taking wound, the two remaining wolves taking advantage of his undefended flanks sprang into action, one biting his wrists halting his swings while the other lunged on his shoulder forcing him down to the ground. Frantically trying to defend himself vs the three wolves attacking him from all directions, a bolt of lightning crackled towards one wolf and bouncing to the other two causing them to leap back barking and snarling at the rest of the team. The ranger aiming her bow let loose an arrow striking the ground in front of the wolves, all of a sudden a growth of vegetation erupted from the group entangling the wolves subduing them as they tried to break free
The arena erupted with cheer as the party began gaining the upper hand. The monk closed her eyes for a few seconds and began glowing with a very slight green hue. Suddenly she made her move at a blistering speed, sprinting head first into the two ogres, pummelling one with a series of blows, the large obese body flinching in pain several seconds after each blow.
The arena erupted in roar again, as the fighter stood up and began walking towards the entangled wolves glaring at them in an unquenchable rage, with one big swing cleaved one of the wolves head in two causing it to disperse into glowing particles dissipating in the air and began making his way to the next.
The ranger now concentrating on the ogres began firing arrow after arrow at the same ogre the monk was attacking. The battle look decisively over as the ogres were too slow to defend themselves or even attack back. Suddenly the other ogre let out a huge guttural roar, seemingly now moving normally, threw his club hurtling towards the wizard, the club seemingly the size of the wizard himself slammed him brutally sending him flying meters away. The ranger fired off two more arrows in quick succession and began rushing to the wizard's aid. The two ogres now freed from the slow spell began fighting back ganging up on the monk swinging at her from both sides with their large club and fists, barely being able to dodge all the attacks, some barely glancing her but still hitting her with enough force to break her guard.
Everyone gasped as the battle turned, the Wizard severely injured and the Monk stuck between two hulking ogres that can probably easily crush her like an ant. The wizard looking extremely injured pointed at the his bag barely out of reach, the ranger quickly grabbing it for him and helping him up, he quickly reached in pulling out a closed fist of something and tossed it into the air making a mist of red glowing particles that quickly dissipated. "OHHH wow! He just used Haste!" Jay yelled in excitement, pointing at the monk.
The monk suddenly began glowing with a red hue, and suddenly started moving at lightning speeds easily dodging all the oncoming attacks hitting back with counter attacks making the ogres look slow and clumsy. The fighter now finished with the remaining moves made a quick run to the ogres raising his axe for a giant swing he embedded his axe deep into the ogres back causing it to writhe and roar in pain turning around to face the fighter. The ranger letting the wizard stand on his own let loose two arrows one after another towards the monk, with her hasted speed she leapt into the air catching both arrows and slammed them straight into the ogre's eyes, forcing it to stumble back roaring in pain. Using the opportunity they focused all their attacks on remaining ogre swiftly dispatching it making it dissipate as it collapsed to the ground.
The reaming ogre blinded by the arrows frantically swinging its club side to side in wide arcs in an attempt to defend itself. The wizard placed his hand into his bag again, and pulling it out his hand was no doused with a dark black ichor, with a chant pointing at the ogre a large bream of flame unleashed from his hand incinerating a hold in the ogres body, causing it to fall back on the floor dissipating into specs of light.
"AND THE VICTORS ARE!!!! THE IRON HYDRASSSSSSS!!!!" A voice boomed, the arena erupted in cheers, clapping and whistles, the prefects all stood together taking a bow in all directions to everyone, and raising their hands up high.
"Did you see that?! Emilia!" Jay asked in excitement clapping.
"OMG! That was so awesome!!!!" Daisy added.
"I have to admit, that was quite thrilling to watch" I replied also clapping, a part of me began imagining battles of my own. "Hey, guys do you think we will ever get into a fight like that?" I asked.
"Hmmmm depends if you want to go exploring for treasures and riches then most defiantly," Jay replied with a laugh.
"Yeah! Who knows what fate has installed for us!" Daisy smiled.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Paul and Scarlet begin to stand up and began walking into a portal. As soon as the portal closed, Ashley got up and crashed on a chair beside me.
"Yo Emilia!" he said greeting me.
"Wassup Ashley?! " I replied.
"Ahh nothing much just chilling enjoying the day off." He smiled, "Who are your friends over there?" He added.
"Ohhh you haven't met them yet?!.... This is Daisy and this is Jay." I answered him... "Guy meet my friend Ashley." I nudge them to catch their attention.
"Nice to meet you" he said holding out his metal arm for a hand shake.
"OHHH WOW!! COOL ARM!" Daisy yelled shaking the hand taking a very close look at it and feeling it with her other hand.
"Thank you I made it myself!" He smiled.
"Nice to meet you I'm Jay" Jay smiled.
"So where did Scarlet and Paul go?..." I asked Ashley curiously.
"Ohhh they went to prepare for the next event." He smile.
"WAIT PAUL IS GONNA BE PARTICIPATING?!" Daisy practically erupted from her seat in excitement.
"Yeah...." Ashley answered her.
"That's... odd I thought he doesn't normally show off his abilities....." Jay asked.
...."Yeah normally he doesn't... but this year apparently he made a deal with the headmaster, he wouldn't normally." Ashley explained.
"Ohhhh my Goddd!!!!" Daisy squealed in excitement grabbing a fistful of our sleeves jumping in excitement.
"AND THE FINAL ACT!!!! THE ONE YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! PAUL THE BLACK DRAGON SLAYER AND SCARLET THE INVINCIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole arena feel silent, even Daisy went silent watching in anticipation as two figures began walking toward the centre of the arena.
