The town was decorated. Many people bustled and hustled in the market. Some were happy, some were energetic and some were excited.
The happy moment made the town feel unique like it was the happiest place in the world.
Many people sat excitedly to look at the duel at a huge coliseum. As the people filled the venue, Allen was in the waiting room.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome here, to the most excited event of this year! The Mage Tournament!"
"YEAHH!!!!"
The sound of cheering rang, and people's excitement made the event more energetic.
"Our guests have arrived, please welcome them with a loud applause!"
With the announcer's voice, a roar of applause rang in the area.
A man with a majestic demeanor walked to the arena with several bodyguards guarding him.
"Our great king, the majesty of the Great Magician Kingdom, a Mighty Sage Tier Realm, has walked into the arena. Please, milord, take the highest seat."
The king smiled slightly hearing the polite words from the announcer, the king walked with nobility in the area. His aura alone put pressure on many people's shoulders as they shivered slightly.
As he reached the top, he sat on a throne put on the top of the arena that provided the best view. Alone with him, some princess and the prince who aren't taking part in the tournament sat below him.
After him, three old men without any guard walked slowly to the arena.
"Mighty Mage Academy. Head, Gu Hian. Please take the judge seat."
"Magic Academy. Head, Hin Higan. Please take the judge seat."
"Great Earth Academy. Head, Eren Ling. Please take the judge seat."
With this, the three elders sat on three VIP seats. With their demeanor, one wouldn't need to guess their rank. The way they walk shows their elegance. Despite being old, their pressure alone can put the king in danger.
After them, many other heads of other academies walked, but since they were of low character, people didn't pay that much attention to them.
"Now, all our guests are here! Let's start the official Mage Tournament!"
"All the contestant have their badge number, so we will draw a random draw. If your badge number is called, you will come to the arena!"
After that, the announcer took a deep breath. Everyone's heart was beating heavily, and with an excited face, they waited.
"For our first round, the lucky draw has revealed the number... 402 and 511. Please enter the arena!"
"Yeah!"
As the crowd cheered, two individuals entered the arena. Wearing robes, they elegantly entered the arena with smiles on their face.
"Now, what do we have here! Our first two contestants are Lin Feng from Mighty Mage Academy and Huan Jing from Great Earth Academy. Both are from two big academies, now let's see who will be the victor in this round!"
"Lin Feng, I will bet on you!"
"Huan Jing, I put all my money on you!"
As Huan and Lin meet each other, they shook their hand.
"Hello brother, from another mother."
Lin Fend greeted.
"Hello brother, from another father."
Huan Jing replied.
Both smiling hid their hostility. Under the facade of smiley faces, they fought with their eyes.
The big three academies are enemies of each other, be it, teachers or students, everyone is each one enemy.
"Ok then, let the battle begin!"
At announcer's words, both raised their hands.
"Plasma!"
A round blue ball floated around Ling Fen. He fired it at Huan.
Huan also shouted. "Energy Ball!"
A blue ball of energy was shot at Lin.
Both balls of energy collided and an ear-deafening explosion occurred.
Both jumped and cast their spells.
"Small Bomb!"
"Energy Barrier!"
"Swift!"
"Double Jump!"
As the match intensified, more mana was used. The battle became the match of endurance of mana. As they used mana, both tier 5 mages last for 30 minutes.
At the last end, the winner was decided.
"Power Surge!"
Huan cast, being near to Lin, he used swift. Instantly he appeared before Lin. Lin also used swift to dodge, but his mana was depleted and he couldn't use it.
"Shit!"
He cursed before a punch landed on his stomach.
"Gwack!"
He was flung back and hit the arena's wall vomiting a mouthful of blood.
The audience was silent for a moment, but just as one started clapping, everyone started cheering. The announcer immediately calmed the situation and announced.
"The winner of this round goes to Huan Jing."
"Yeah!"
Cheers from the audience rang in the arena. The one who won the bitting danced while those who lose gloomed and cursed at Lin Feng.
And the match continued.
From one battle to another battle, many participants were injured and defeated. Some barely won while some just used a flick of a finger.
Some overpowered the opponent and some put the enemy near to death.
Finally, the name Allen was announced. And Allen's first match, began!
