Chapter 2 - The game starts here

35 min's later...

Host 1: It has been 35 minutes already, none of the participants has crossed the borderline. Player Paxton has already lost 5 of his power points.

Host 2: Do you think Participant Paxton will be able to regain his power, after all this?

Host 1: let's see if the game is going to end here or we will the luck to enjoy this game for another 40 minutes? 5 mins to go. the only way for Paxton to win is by taking 5 of Phi Mio's power point. Do you think it's possible?

Everyone thought it was not possible, but I knew it was. He won't be able to get my PowerPoint but he can get his. My opponent Paxton looks like a hungry dog right now, who can do anything. The crowd stood up. It's the most interesting part of the game. The last 10 seconds. If I don't be careful right now, I can lose it all. The crowd started counting. 10... 9... 8.....7....6.... Everyone was shocked. Paxton regained his power point. He used his 3rd special feature, which was supposed to be made by us. No one expected him to come up with a regain power theory. Cause it's something that you need to work on at least for a year…...5…...4…3...2…1. Every one started murmuring. Until now Paxton wasn't looking anywhere except his computer. He now looked up at me. I knew how tensed he was. I looked at his eyes and smirked.

Host 1: And it's a tie! Seems like our participants are much more competent than we imagined.

Host 2: Now it's a break of 30 minutes. Players may go back to the waiting spot.

I stood up. I could see Paxton gazing at me. He was trying to understand what I might do in the next round. It's not an easy game anymore. Paxton is one of the most competent wizards of This kingdom of Kaiman. He is known for his amazing power in creating magic spells. Though he is three years older than me he never won a match against me that's why he specially requested this match in the village I live. As I am not allowed to leave this village until I am 18.

We still have 24 mins left. Let me introduce you to my village. I live in a village named Mavi. When I was a child, I once asked uncle Kim Miho why our village is named Mavi. He told me "Mavi means "Blue" it represents both the sky and the sea and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity. Mavi is the village of depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, and intelligence. That's why you were sent here. So, you can grow up to be a trustful, loyal, Sincere, intelligent, and confident Empress. Do you get it now?" It has been 8 years since then but I still don't get it. What does it mean to be a perfect person, a perfect magician, or a perfect…A perfect empress…? I heard someone knocking. "Knock knock how was the, match today? I heard you got a tie in the first round. Woah it must have been a neck-to-neck match." Uncle Kim Miho who just came kept on talking. "Hmm, it was a fun match," I answer. Fun? He asked. "I did so good, surely it was fun "I replied smiling. True winning is not all that matters, but I don't think you are one of those people who think that way. I know I am not one of those people uncle you know it too. But the game is not at an end yet. We still have the main and the final round left. I told you to come in the second part of the match for a reason you know! Let's go to the field now, it's almost time for the match. I stood up. Uncle Kim Miho followed.

Host 1: So now is the moment we start the second round of our spring match 2021. In the first round, it was a tie. If phi Mio wins then she will be again the first in the magic chart, but if Paxton wins then he will take over her place. What do you think will happen in this round?

Host 2: Umm… It's really hard to guess, as in this round we are no longer using the hologram. It's a head-to-head match now. so, let's just start the game.

Host 1: That's a better idea. So now starts the 2nd and final match of the 2021 spring match. Let set GO!

I started walking forward and stopped. It's time to get started. Paxton already used his best feature. If I can make him cross the border after he uses healer already, then I can easily win over without using the 3rd special feature. The game started. Paxton is slowly approaching me. He slowly moved towards my back. I think he wants to end the game quickly. If he pushes me with him to cross the border then he can win this game. I started moving towards his side trying to confuse him. The whole stadium is in silence. I looked at uncle Kim Miho's eyes who is standing behind the stage. It's a sign between him and me. It means "should I bent it or break". I could see a smirk in the corner of his eyes. He nodded his head. OK. Let's break it this time. Paxton is trying and I am almost near the borderline. When he jumped over me. I moved. he was about to fall out but I pulled his hand and bounced him over back to the stage. By the time he stood up, I was ready with one of the trickiest spells of all time. He roared like a tiger while opening his wings and attacked me with fire. I was ready this time. I flew towards his back and attack with repel magnet power. Though he managed to come back but he lost all his power points. The worst side effect of the "repel magnet" is you lose your wings battery and the wings are highly damaged. You need at least 10 days to gain the wings back to normal.

He knew he lost it all. But he couldn't give up. He used up his other 2 features and came back to the field. I was ready it's time to use the kung fu skill that I had built up for years. He again jumped over me. This time I let him come nearest as he could and but he is faster. He pulled my leg and threw me over. Paxton took out his battle axe. It was no longer just a game for him. I knew what he was about to do but I dint let him notice it. He runs towards me with the axe down his hand. Right the moment I flew over to the stage pillars. And attacked him with Ice bolt. He took his shield out. Holding his shield with the left hand he wanted to start attacking with spell lock. But before he could start, he was out off the stage. I saw hundreds of people shouting, cheering after the win. I sure wasn't one of those happy people. It was just a game for me. What I did by winning was my responsibility. Responsibility of the crown princess of the empire of Kaiman. Paxton was quite hurt. His members came and took him. I dint look back. It's time to go back. Ni Mon and penda are in a super excited mood I can't handle them so I left them to be and walked away. Uncle Kim Miho came to me. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?" he asked. "There is nothing to do on purpose here" I rushed out right after replying to him. I knew what he meant. But I have no answer for it. I can't let others see my 3rd special feature. Master Shimon forced me to take it this time. But I have to protect it from being seen. No matter what happens. After all, it's all I have from mom…
