The moment that one phrase echoed inside the arena, a flame mightier than everything else erupted, engulfing the young girl whose eyes were wide open.
"What a strong magical power…"
The audience's eyes were wide open. Even the second-year students who were there to witness the performance of the ranked one student couldn't help but get surprised.
"Winner, Student Callius."
As the result of the duel was confirmed by the instructor overseeing the duel, everyone finally breathed.
The audience erupted into a mix of reactions. Some were in awe of Callius' incredible display of power, while others were deeply concerned for Emilia's well-being. Murmurs and whispers spread like wildfire throughout the crowd.
"Did you see that spell? It was like a blazing inferno!"
"I can't believe she took that hit head-on. She's incredibly strong!"
"Is she all right? That attack looked devastating!"
