The bold characters will be Diana's chant. Enjoy the chapter.

As we arrived at the arena, the crowd was already formed.
Diana's silver hair gleamed in the sunlight as she raised her staff, her expression focused and determined. The pressure she was emanating was also changed, different from the time when we trained.
To be honest, I was also eager to know. What kind of position I was in, in terms of magic alone? Where did I stand? Should I have trained more, or was my progress enough? I wanted to know more about that.
That was one of the reasons why I accepted her offer.
"Let the match between Diana and Callius Augustride, the top two ranked students, begin!"
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
And the moment the referee announced the start of the match, immediately a bunch of vines spurted from the ground at high speed, aimed at me.
