-3rd point of view-
It is finally the day of the royal duel, while every student inside the campus is ecstatic to witness the duel between two high royalties, Ebieria on the other hand continued to train inside the dormitory same goes to Austin since both participants are excused to not attend their classes.
"Cousin!" Rovina called out while entering the training room
"Rovina, why are you here? don't you have a class to attend to?" Ebieria asked
"Eventually cousin, I'm here to tell you about the duel and the new rule, that headmistress added"
Ebieria then gave Rovina a questionable look.
"It's actually part of my punishment and Ruby-haired is part of this too, except he will be announcing the new rules at the front of the assembly today," she explained
"oh I see, headmistress did tell me about having the duel in the arena of Aries which is located outside the campus, but not about the new rule, so you may continue explaining,"
"like what everyone knows, only 10 students are allowed to go out of the campus, which means other than you and Prince Austin, there will be 8 more students who will witness the fight inside the arena. Those students are the remaining heir and heiress of the other four kingdoms, including Princess Hylia as the face-to-face judge, for Cousin Sal and Vice pres. Latina is in Spectre university for a student council conference and wouldn't be able to witness the duel."
"The students who will get the remaining 6th and 7th spot will be me and Ruby-haired for it is our punishment to clean the arena after the fight," she then trailed off
"wait, that's your punishment both?"
"Yes," she answered then huffed loudly
Ebieria then cued Rovina to continue,
"And the last student will be no one, and what I meant for no one is that majority of the students wants to check out the fight through the magic mirror since it'll be the first time for them to witness it, virtually, so it'll only be us, 7 students to witness it face to face,"
"will there be a professor to witness the battle inside the arena?"
"Yes, professor Liwei will be there,"
"As for the rules, it's still the same, rule number 1, no one is allowed to use their Power stoned weapon, number 2 no one is allowed to use a Grimoire spell or a spell that isn't linked to your original powers and the last rule which is the new rule that has been added is, instead of battling for almost 24 hours until someone falls down, the headmistress gave a timer, which is, the time limit will be until 2-3 hours, and if someone doesn't fall within the time limit, then both will be considered as a tie, so if you wanted to win cousin instead of being tied, just keep on attacking until he falls down. That's all, oh and no cheating." Rovina explained
Ebieria then nods, "Is that all?".
"Yes cousin, and by the time when dusk falls, you need to be in the arena already, also I went inside your room to prepare your battle suit,"
"I see, and thank you,"
"No problem cousin, I will now head out to deliver the same message to the Vampire prince,"
"why does it have to be me though..." Rovina murmured
-
As the time passed by so fast, it was almost the time for the duel.
Ebieria then changed into her battle suit, tied her hair up into a ponytail, then headed to the arena while a knight guided her there.
"Good luck your highness!"
Ebieria heard a lot of good lucks from her fellow Elementians and of course a lot of hate comments from the Valorians.
While she is about to go out of the gate, her brother then blocked her way
"Sister, are you sure about this?" he asked worried
"Brother there's no going back now, and yes, my decision about this battle is already final, so don't worry okay? I will win this." She reassured him.
Her brother then nods and hugged her for a bit before walking away.
-at the arena-
"Students of Stoneix high, as you have already known, you will be spectating the duel virtually inside the campus, all of you already know the rules and like what the added rule said, this fight will only be for 2-3 hours and that if none falls down then both will end up being a tie, I wouldn't make my speech longer, so I will now announce the duelers!" Princess Hylia announced
"First of all is the heir of Valoria, Prince Austin Youzi Valor! you may now proceed to the center of the arena,"
Austin, also wearing his battle suit and
"And the second is the heiress of Elementia, Princess Ebieria Baouyu Leventia! you may now proceed to the center of the arena,"
Ebieria, wearing his battle suit and
"You may both pick your sides and get ready," Princess Hylia said
The two directly went to their places and directly got into a fighting stance.
"Let the battle begin!" Princess Hylia announced loudly, and with that, the two started attacking.
The first one to move, is Austin, for he has the ability to move faster, he directly went behind Ebieria, Ebieria on the other hand, knows this was going to happen so she directly backflipped above Austin, then punched her hand on the floor once she touched the ground to release a shockwave, Austin almost lost his balance, but his drifting ability helped him stay up on his feet.
Austin was about to attack again when he felt the heat of Ebieria's fire coming towards him, he directly blocked it by also using his red flames.
Since his flames are stronger than Ebieria's, Austin easily pushed back her fire which caused her to directly use her water element to block Austin's flames, but because of what they both did, the whole arena then got covered with smoke, which gave Ebieria an advantage to split with her 5 elements without anyone witnessing it.
But little did anyone know, Ebieria wasn't the only one secretly unleashing a hidden power.
