Chapter 22 - Second Test: Sparring (Part three)

[On the arena]

{Gancelot}

" I saw him fight a total of two times. First was his fight with Darius, during that fight he fought with all he had. The second was a few minutes ago against Lumia. I don't know if he thinks he's a good actor or whatever but it was obvious that he wasn't fighting as hard as when he was fighting Darius. But during the fight, he used a spell that he didn't use against Darius. Electricity bolt. He used it as a diversion but I'm sure it can be used as an actual offensive move."

- The Arcadios family really is something else aren't ya'll? Someway, somehow they keep producing geniuses. Normally when having one mana heart a magician can only use one affinity spell but you are able to use three. I don't think even your oldest brother was able to do this.

Spells are separated into three categories. Affinity spells, Primary spells, and Mana spells. Affinity spells are also separated in two. The first type is general spells, which are the spells that everybody can use and the second is origin spells, which are spells created and personalized by a magician therefore only they can use them at their maximum efficiency. Affinity spells are spells that make use make use of the mana to change the nature of the mana from none to whatever affinity you possess that process is called mana nature change which results in spells like fire ball or electricity bolts. Primary magic is magic spells that can be used regardless of the mana color, they are also called general spells. Some people tend to just pass them since they are mostly inefficient because of their effect, their duration, or their usefulness in battle, for example, Nigth Vision. Lastly, Mana spells are spells that just like Primary spells can be used regardless of your mana affinity, however, Mana spells are different because you do not use mana to create a phenomenon like Night Vison but instead you use it to conjure and give shape to mana itself outside of your body.

" The spells he uses are Body Of Speed, Lightning magic is rare but when I searched in the royal library I couldn't find anything like Body Of Speed which is why I believe that it's an origin spell. If it really is then his genius is something that exceeds what everybody believes. The second is the spell he used against Darius; Lightning Palms, however, it is a close-range spell and lastly, the one he used against Lumia; electricity bolt."

- 1...2...3... Fight!

- Mana Bullet!

A ball made of compressed mana appears in front of Gancelot's hand and he shoots it at Noah. Noah dodges to the side but while he was doing that Gancelot started approaching him by running towards him. As soon as Noah sees Gancelot running towards him he uses the same spell that Gancelot used against him.

- Mana Bullet! Yells Noah.

The Bullet of mana goes toward Gancelot however Noah makes the bullet explode before coming in contact with Gancelot because of the light produced by the explosion Gancelot is blinded. Noah uses:

- Lightning Magic! Body Of Speed! Electricity!

And run towards the still-blinded Gancelot.

- Plus Mana Bullet!

By the time Gancelot regains his sight Noah is in front of him with a fully charged bullet. Noah shoots the bullet point blank range in Gancelot's stomach. The pain makes him fall to his knees.

- You should give up now, Gancelot.

- WIND MAGIC! WIND SHOT!!

The wind gathers in Gancelot's hand taking the shape of a ball and he shoots it toward Noah however Gancelot didn't take into account how much mana he had left and he only realized that he barely had any mana left after shooting his spell. The ball of wind hits Noah and the explosion of wind pushes him back.

- *Huff Huff Huff* What *Huff* do you think *Huff* Arcadios.

- I admit that I didn't take into account that last spell, but it is pretty obvious that this fight is done you're barely managing to stay on your feet.

- I AM ROYALTY! I AM THE SECOND PRINCE OF THE KINGDOM OF FAYRAK! GANCELOT FAYRAK! I WON'T LOSE TO YOU!

" He is only 8 but look at his train of thought. This is what they mean when they say royal maturity. He is blinded by his title and his arrogance making him unable to see those in front of him even more when they are not royalty."

Gancelot, once again, runs towards Noah.

- Mana Bullet!

This time instead of shooting it he keeps it in his hand and continues running toward Noah.

- *Sigh* Fine let's end this. Mana Bullet! Mana Bullet! Mana Bullet!

" That should be enough."

A total of three Mana Bullets are in Noah's hand and he shoots them all one at a time at Gancelot. Gancelot was too close to dodge all of them, therefore, he waits until they get close enough and he shoots his Mana Bullet and make it explodes. The explosion wasn't strong enough to cancel all of the Mana Bullets Noah threw at him (it was only able to cancel one) and Gancelot gets hit by the Mana Bullet and the second one gets blocked by Darius's spell, Wind Slash.

- Enough, The winner is Noah Arcadios. Both of you come up here.

- Darius, you should throw him a potion since I have no intention to help him come up.

Darius throws a health potion to Gancelot.

- What about you, Noah do you need one?

- Nah! I'll take a mana potion though.

Noah takes the stairs and walks back up to the stands, when he arrives there Darius gives him a mana potion and he drinks it. As for Gancelot after drinking the health potion Darius gave him he also came back up in the stands.

Since Aura is an energy that was created through the fusion of all energy no matter what kind of energy medicine Noah takes, it will work however it won't be as effective as it would be for another person.

[After a few fights]

- Next is Abel versus Lec. This fight is the last one after this one I'll choose someone at random to fight against Noah. You bunch of scaredy cats.

{Noah}

" Abel?... Where have I heard this name before?.... hmmmm... no matter how much I think about it I can't seem to remember. Whatever, no need to kill myself over it I will remember as soon as I see him fighting."

- 1... 2... 3... FIGHT! yells Darius.

Lec starts off by using the Mana spell, Mana Bullet, however, Abel dodges them all and also uses the Mana Bullet spell but his are much faster and hits the target. Lec even ended up passing out.

- The fight is over! WINNER; Abel.

{Noah}

"He doesn't have a last name which means that he's a commoner, but the speed of that spell... it was faster than a normal Mana Bullet... !"

- I see, I remember now. Noah mumbles.

Abel comes up in the stands and Darius uses his wind magic to bring Lec into the stands since he still hasn't woken up.

- Is there really nobody that wants to challenge Noah? Ask Darius

Nobody answers.

- Fine. Noah you can choose to stop it here, you can challenge someone or you can leave it to me I'll choose someone at random to fight you. What do you choose?

- I'll fight. And the person I want to fight is you.

Noah points at Abel.

" This is the only way to know for sure if you are him and if you are then I need to keep you by my side. You are gonna work for me if you are who are I think you are."

- You want to fight against Abel?

{Darius}

" Why does he want to fight him? Abel is not special. He has an earth affinity but it seems like he is not good a mana nature change because of that he must have trained his mana spells the most since his Mana Bullet is faster than a normal one. But that's all he isn't exceptional so why does he want to fight him? From the looks on his face it seems like Noah sees something that I am unable to see and he wants to confirm it but what does he see in that child?"

- What do you think, Abel? I won't force you to fight him. Whether you fight him or not is totally up to you.

- I will accept your challenge, Noah Arcadios.

{Noah}

" Brown hair and eyes but short of height, a silent personality but he also has a huge sense of competition and he hates losing. He has a hard time dealing with other people because of the bluntness that he has toward anybody regardless of their background. Are you really him? The more I look at him the more he reminds me of him. An old friend of mine that died way before his time during the war against the demons."

- This will be interesting. Says Noah.
