In the Air, Yetunde currently resembled a glorious goddess, looking down on her worshippers. The Intimidating pressure that oozed out of her body, captured the attention of every living thing present in the room, causing them to earnestly stare at her.
"Whoa!" Vanessa blurted, earnestly staring at Yetunde.
"I wasn't ignoring you…. In fact, I acknowledge you as an extremely strong opponent" Yetunde exclaimed, glaring at Vanessa.
"That's why I was preparing this!" She promptly added, waving her right hand in the air, causing five large Magic circles to appear in the air, behind Yetunde.
The Magic circles had several exotic shapes and runic symbols which were clearly written in bold. Just like Yetunde's flames, the circles had bright Azure color, releasing a similar colored glow. This display of power gravely shocked all the Spectating Students including Reynolds.
"What the hell are those things?" The Spectating Student blurted in fright and awe.
"Wow, I can't even make Magic Circles that big!" Reynolds couldn't help but exclaim, staring at the magnificent sight before his eyes.
"So she purposefully stayed on the defense, so she prepare a fatal counter attack…. What a smart girl!" Blake said, wearing a proud smirk.
"Conflagration!" Yetunde exclaimed, waving her hand towards Vanessa.
Almost immediately, five gigantic fire balls which were far bigger than Vanessa's, emerged from her Azure glowing Magic Circles, blasting straight at Vanessa. The attack came fast and hot, momentarily stunning Vanessa for a few seconds. When she woke to reality, Vanessa quickly created a huge fire dome. One by one, Yetunde's attack collided with Vanessa's dome, slowly suppressing the Ember flames.
"Damnit, her attacks are really strong" Vanessa thought to herself, trying to hold back her roomie's attack.
"Besides, how was she able to create multiple Conflagration while I could barely perform it once" She added, groaning in pain.
After the fifth explosion, Vanessa's dome completely collapsed with her Ember flames being suppressed by Yetunde's Azure flames.
"Thank you Yetunde… I promise I'll do my best to beat you!" Vanessa said, blasting a large amount fire into the air, towards Yetunde.
"Alright Roomie, bring it on!" Yetunde replied, conjuring a fire shield, blocking the incoming attack.
Generating a huge amount of flames underneath her feet's, Vanessa propelled herself towards Yetunde with the intent of delivering a massive attack. She instantly threw two massive jabs, which blasted a streamline arc of flames. Instantly, Yetunde blocked her attack by conjuring her flame shield.
"Shit!" Vanessa cursed, clicking her tongue in frustration.
"Conflagration!" Yetunde exclaimed, waving her hand at her opponent, activating her Magic circles.
Almost immediately, five giant flaming balls emerged from the ball, flying rapidly at Vanessa. After dodging the first two, she collided with the remaining three, sending her crashing wickedly unto the ground. Thanks to her uniform, she wasn't totally damaged by the attack.
"Damnit!" Vanessa said, angrily banging her fist into the ground, while she stared at Yetunde.
She instantly got back to her feet, rushing towards Yetunde's location while she gathered a large amount of Ember flame essence around her fist. Colliding her fists together, she created a giant Flaming Serpent. Judging by the size of her creation, it could be called a Flaming Dragon. This feat she just displayed shocked both Yetunde, Blake, Reynolds and the other students.
"Flaming Dragon!" Vanessa exclaimed.
"That's a fire dragon!"
"How is she doing that?"
"I thought that spell is supposed to be Mid-Tier spell!"
"She's only a First year!" The Spectating Students immediately replied.
"This is just wonderful… How is she able to do that?" Blake commented in awe.
"That spell is a difficult Mid-Tier spell, even some Mid Level Mages can't perform the spell to that extent….. The Next Generation are definitely Arcane prodigies sent by the gods to change the hell of a world" Blake said, stroking his chin.
"Dragon's Breath!" Vanessa angrily exclaimed, activating her spell.
Her insanely large Fire Dragon blasted Yetunde with an immense amount of Fire.
"Damn….. I can't use my Flame shield and I can't take a head on attack!" Yetunde worriedly thought to herself, watching the advancing attack.
"Alright then… Pentagram Seal; Abjuration!" Yetunde promptly exclaimed.
Immediately, Yetunde's Magic Circles converged in front of her, aligning themselves in a Pentagram shape, forming another giant circle. The five former magic circles dances round the newly formed circle which glowed bright Azure. Vanessa's attack immediately collided with Yetunde's new Magic Circle, releasing a huge amount of pressure and energy.
After the brief tug-o-war, Vanessa's Dragon Breath dispersed, revealing Yetunde's giant Magic circle which shocked everyone in the Facility including Blake.
"How is this possible?"
"That's incredible!" The Students mumbled amongst themselves, staring at the magic construct in front of them.
"That's a Pentagram Seal. She has a wide knowledge on Arcane techniques and principles. This is because she didn't have an Affinity not until recently" Blake thought to himself, staring earnestly at Yetunde.
"Unlike the other Students who rely solemnly on their Affinities, she who didn't have an affinity, resulted into learning several principles of Arcane spellcasting which doesn't require an Individual's affinity, practicing those principles days and night, until she's able to perfect it" Blake promptly added.
"And now that she has her Affinity, all she needs to do is imbibe it into her spells, making them more easier and refine. Usually, Students are supposed to learn how to do perform this merge, at their third year but she's doing it like it's nothing!" Blake excitedly exclaimed.
"What's that?" Vanessa frightfully asked, staring at the giant Circle that hovered few meters above her.
"Pentagram Seal: Azure Eruption!" Yetunde said, waving her hand at Vanessa, promptly activation her spell.
The five smaller circles rotated around the sixth larger one while they simultaneously glowed Azure. Almost immediately, a huge wave of Azure flames erupted out of the giant circle, consuming everything in it's path. This spell was actually Yetunde's version of Vanessa's Dragon Breath but the only difference was that, Yetunde's attack was more denser, faster and hotter.
"F**k this…. Dragon's Breath!" Vanessa commented, launching her own counterattack.
The both attacks collided with each other, thereby entering a tug-o-war, with the lesser flame being subdued. Vanessa soon realized she won't win the exchange as she instinctively cancelled her Dragon spell, creating a large fire shield to ward off the attack.
"Shit… When is it going to end?" Vanessa cursed, struggling to maintain her spell.
"I used too much Elemental essence in my previous attack and now I'm almost out!" She promptly out.
Not able to hold on longer, Vanessa rolled out of the way, allowing Yetunde's to collide with the shattered arena. Immediately she dodged it, Vanessa was greeted by two huge flaming balls.
"What the hell!" Vanessa couldn't help but exclaimed in fright.
She quickly rolled out of the way and was yet again greeted by two more flaming balls. Not having enough space to evade, she conjured a flame shield to deflect the attack. Once Yetunde noticed that Vanessa was currently blocking her attacks, she quickly reactivated her Azure Eruption spell. Seeing the wave of Azure flames coming towards her, Vanessa couldn't help but shriek in fright as she conjured a fire dome.
Yetunde's attack was tremendously powerful but unlike her previous one, it was less denser and faster. Despite the reduced intensity, Vanessa who was on the defensive side, struggled to block the attack. After a little push and shove between both parties, Yetunde and Vanessa's spell simultaneously died out, revealing the obviously tired teenage girls. They both panted heavily for breath while they solemnly stared at each, anticipating their opponents next attack.
"I see, even if she has an excellent prowess in the Arcane art, those refined attacks of hers is extremely demanding. She's definitely using a huge amount of Mana and Essence which is slowly eating up her stamina. She won't be able to continue fighting if she keeps using those huge attacks!" Blake thought to himself, fixing his attention on the ongoing match.
"I'm even surprised that her opponent is still standing. It's obvious that she has exhausted her reserved essence. The only thing keeping her conscious, is her sense of survival!" Blake promptly added, wearing a huge smile.
"This match is about to reach it's climax!" He commented.
"I can't keep going like this….. I've got to end this!" This sentence echoed simultaneously in Yetunde and Vanessa heads.
Immediately, Yetunde cancelled here previous summon as she generated a huge amount of Azure flame essence around her right hand. Vanessa on the other hand, gathered an immense amount of Ember flame essence around her left hand. They both formed a huge flaming fist which released a ridiculous amount of energy, pressure and fire.
"Whoa!"
"Are they going to kill each other?"
"This is awesome!"
"Let's see what happened next!" The Spectating students exclaimed in awe.
"This is…. This is…. This is breathtaking!" Reynolds stuttered, obviously surprised by the present display of power.
In a blink of eye, Vanessa propelled herself towards Yetunde who also reciprocated, swooping directly at Vanessa. Instantly, they both collided their fiery fists, releasing a tremendous amount of force which utterly shattered Blake's barrier, shocking everyone in the facility
Moments later,
Vanessa and Yetunde stood in the aftermath of their earlier attack, earnestly staring at each other.
"Thank you!" Vanessa said before she passed out.
"You're welcome!"
