"Y-YOU MONSTER!!" Roland screamed at Grim after seeing what he did to Nix.
"This is a match! Not a fight to the death! How could you do such a thing to your fellow magic knight!!"
"Huh?" Grim looked at him like he was staring at an idiot before materializing his flame sword and slowly walking towards him.
"The wizard king confined me within his rules, I simply adjusted myself and follow them. If you want to blame anyone for your friend's condition then blame yourself for being unable to protect your comrade!"
Using [Unknowing Fire] to cross the distance between them in an instance, Grim flashed in front of a stunned Roland with his sword held high and a cruel smile spread across his face.
[Breath of the Blue Flame - 5th Form: Flame Tiger]
"BURN!"
*GROWL!*
"A-AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Opening its jaws, the huge tiger made of blue flames opened its mouth and bit down on a screaming Roland. While the Tiger wouldn't be able to actually eat him, you could bet your ass that Roland would be coming out with some nasty looking burns.

"Oh God! We have to end this match!" One of the magic knights said in panic after seeing Nix's bloodied figure and hearing Roland's ear piercing screams.
"Wizard king! Please stop this!"
"Please your grace!"
"This is barbaric!"
"We cannot allow such a person to represent us magic knights!"
While people were pleading with him to end the match, the usually jolly wizard king had a dark expression on his face. From the way he was acting, Julius had already figured that Grim was confident in escaping punishment if he brought this topic up. And after the whole base hoping incident where he managed to gain the support of the kingdom's people, Julius knew just how dangerous it was to let this boy talk.

Laughing to himself, Grim figured that the wizard king must be pretty pissed right about now. But this was revenge for ruining his fun with that purple orca magic knight.
'Ha, your move Mr Wizard King.'

*Huff* *Huff*
Running with all her might, Wainsley did her best to keep the crystal afloat with her ice magic.
'Have to protect the crystal!'
"You look pretty tired, you should take a break."
!!!
Hearing a familiar voice, Wainsley's heart threatened to leap out of her chest as she turned her head to the side and saw Grim running besides her with his eyes closed and a smile plastered on his face.
"Hi."
*BOOM!!*
Jumping back, she unleashed a torrent of ice magic towards the young magic knight in hopes of freezing him in place.
It was just a shame that his magic countered hers.
[Breath of Flames - 2nd Form: Rising Scorching Sun]
Using this spell, Grim sword slashed upwards in an arc like fashion as he sent a spinning wheel of flames crashing into the ice torrent and cancelling out Wainsley's attack.
"Well wasn't that a waste of time."
"Y-You stopped it." She despaired.
"Yep, but feel free to try again, I've got all day."
Seeing his smug expression, Wainsley's grimoire flipped open as she started firing off countless spells.
---
*Huff* *Huff*
"This... THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" She screamed.
After firing off every spell in her grimoire, she refused to believe that her opponent who was even younger than her was completely fine! It was illogical! Even if he could defeat her it shouldn't be this easy right?
"Impossible? This is what they call affinity."
"Affinity..." She repeated.
"Yep, you were simply unlucky to face me."
Hearing him, her shoulders dropped as she had to face the reality of the situation, her ice magic was weak to fire magic.
"I... see." She sighed in defeat. "What now?"
Thinking about it now, he actually went quite easy on her compared to the others. As a true advocate of gender equality, this was something he must rectify.
"I guess its my turn to attack now. But don't worry, I know how you Blue Rose girls don't like being looked down upon by men, therefore I'll attack you with all I've got!"
'WHAT! I DON'T WANT THAT!!'
Just as she was about to protest, Grim had already gotten into a combat stance.
[Grim style - Unknowing Fire]
Activating this spell while compressing and releasing fire magic beneath the soles of his feet and the ground, Grim shot forward with a speed that surpassed the regular [Unknowing Fire].
*BOOM!!*
"KYAH!!"
Hit squarely in the middle of her stomach with the butt of his sword, Wainsely felt all the air in her lung being forcefully pushed out as her body curled forward and her figure was sent shooting backwards at a speed that caused the air to whistle.
*FWOOSH!!*
Using [Grim Style - Unknowing Fire] again, Grim caught up to her flying figure and appeared behind her.
[Breath of Wind]
Switching attributes, he whipped his leg forward and sent a round house kick towards her back.
*BOOM!!*
Creating an air grenade in gap between where his leg and her back made contact, he caused the grenade to explode causing back to snap backwards in an unusual way and launched her body into the sky.
Combining his ability to fly and creating air grenades beneath his feet, a loud explosion rung out as he shot into the air and appeared above the ascending Wainsley.
[Breath of Stone - 3rd Form: Stone Skin]
Finally using this element, Grim's skin took on a stone like lustre as he mercilessly chopped his hand down at her stomach.
*BANG!!*
Feeling her eyes bulge out, Wainsley opened her mouth to scream, but since all the air in her body had been forced out the only thing that came out of her mouth was a fresh stream of blood. Being hit by such an attack made her feel like all her organs had burst.
Hitting her hard enough that he created a shockwave, Grim watched as her body was shot down from the sky and slammed onto the tip of the crystal crushing it in the process and signifying his team's victory.
*Whistle*
"Well damn, I didn't think she'd land on the crystal."
