Princess Kyomi chanted a seishin spell as soon as the cue for the beginning of the battle was given. She chanted, "As the element who represents fear itself, take the sight of those against me, Blackout!"
The Blackout seishin spell that was conjured by Princess Kyomi blocked the sights of all the members of the fourth grade's team.
When all the members of the enemy team were blinded, Princess Kyomi and the other representatives of the first grade decided to start chanting seishin spells while the enemy team was confused because of the Blackout seishin spell that was blocking their sights.
Princess Kyomi started chanting, "I command thee, Illuminate thy master's path, don't let thy owner's enemy darken the path, Lightguard!"
At the same time, Princess Gloriel also chanted her seishin spell, "Ye who represents stability, grant my wish, repel anything in thy master's path, Great Earth Guard!"
Simultaneous to these two's casting, Belle also chanted a seishin spell, "Ye who represents purity, cleanse thy master's nemesis, envelope your master by your fearsome power, Aqua Defense!"
Sabina, Adele, and Aredhel also did the same things. They also cast defensive seishin spells so that they can protect themselves from any of their opponents' possible attacks.
Sabina chanted the same seishin spell as Princess Kyomi. While Adele chanted a defensive seishin spell of her own, "Ye who represents purity, cleanse thy master's nemesis, make your frigidity protect thy master from any harm, Ice Guard!"
In concert to her teammates' chantings, Aredhel also chanted a seishin spell of her own, "Oh ye who represents the breath of the world, make thy master one with your elusive strength, Wind Defense."
Various seishin essences gathered around the girls while they were chanting simultaneously. It was a great sight to behold. Only the Fire and Dark seishin essences were not seen because those seishin elements were not usually used in defense.
After they finished their chants, Princess Kyomi and Sabina were enveloped in armors made up of light particles. At the same time, their speed was greatly increased by the effect of the Lightguard spell.
While Aredhel was enveloped by a layer of air serving as protection from any attack. Like the Lightguard seishin spell, the Wind Guard also had increased Aredhel's speed.
Belle and Adele used a water defensive seishin spell. But there is a difference between the seishin spell of the two. Belle was enveloped by a body of water that can be controlled by her whims. While Adele's defensive seishin spell cladded her with an armor made of ice. Unlike Belle's Aqua Defense, she can't manipulate it at will and it only had the purpose of just protecting her body.
The fourth grade's support was a human girl older than Princess Kyomi and the others by three years.
When they were blinded, she thought that it was a seishin spell that belonged to the dark element so she decided to conjure the purification seishin spell to remove its effects. The enemy support chanted, "Illuminate thy master's path, Purification!"
When the members of the enemy team managed to regain their sight, they saw that all of their opponents already had defensive seishin spells protecting them.
This was the first step in the battle strategies given to them by their homeroom teacher, Teacher Kyleen. After all, all the members of the enemy team had more overall strength than the first grader's team had, which means that, in order to have a higher chance of winning, their team needs to gain more advantages against the enemy team as much as they possibly can.
When the enemy dwarven tank saw that all of their opponents were already cladded and enveloped with elemental defense. The enemy tank decided to do that with her comrades as well.
She started chanting a defensive seishin spell that will affect all of her comrades, "Ye who represents stability, grant my wish, protect everything thy master's love, Earth Guard Mania!"
Brown seishin essences started to gather around the enemy dwarven tank when she started saying chant to conjured that seishin spell of hers. One by one, those brown seishin specks turned into particles of the earth which later on cladded her comrades and herself.
All of the representatives of the fourth were cladded in earth armors that are stronger than the defensive capabilities of the Earth Guard seishin spell but a little weaker to the defensive capabilities of the Great Earth Guard.
"Both teams have used defensive seishin spells for protection! This is where the real battle will start! Let's watch how this battle will unfold before our eyes, everyone!" said the emcee to the sound-amplifying seishin device.
