Jameson stood in the stands, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. He had watched the match between Levi and Dran with great interest, expecting it to be a close and intense battle between two powerful mages. But what he saw was beyond his expectations.
Levi had defeated Dran with just one spell, and Jameson couldn't believe it. How could someone be that strong so fast? He had always known that Levi was a formidable opponent, but this was on another level.
As the referee announced Levi as the winner, Jameson couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. He had been training hard for months, pushing himself to the limit, but he still couldn't match Levi's strength and agility.
"How can he be this strong so fast?" Jameson muttered under his breath. "I can't believe that he is stronger than me. He is no one."
But deep down, Jameson knew that he was just trying to rationalize his defeat. Levi was a skilled mage, and his power and ability had nothing to do with Jameson's own shortcomings.
As the crowd continued to cheer for Levi, Jameson turned and made his way out of the arena. He knew that he had to go back to his own training and work harder to become stronger.
Meanwhile, Levi was approached by his friend Mark, who congratulated him on his impressive victory.
"Man, that was incredible! I've never seen anyone beat Dran that easily," Mark exclaimed.
Levi smiled modestly, knowing that his victory had come after months of intense training and preparation. "Thanks, man. I knew I had to bring my A-game if I wanted to win."
Mark nodded in agreement. "You definitely did. I mean, one spell? That's insane."
Levi laughed. "Yeah, I guess I got lucky."
But Mark wasn't convinced. "Nah, it wasn't luck. You're just that good, man."
Levi grinned, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. It was moments like these that made all of the hard work and sacrifice worth it.
"Thanks, Mark. I really appreciate it," Levi said.
The two friends continued to chat about the match and catch up on each other's lives. Levi felt grateful for the support of his friend.
As the two friends talked, they couldn't help but notice the excitement building in the arena. The final match of the day was about to begin, and the energy was palpable.
Levi and Mark made their way back to their seats, eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle. As they settled in, the lights in the arena dimmed, and a hush fell over the crowd.
The announcer's voice boomed over the loudspeaker, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our final competitors of the day: Sarah and Alex!"
The crowd erupted into cheers as the two mages stepped onto the arena floor, ready to do battle.
Levi and Mark watched with rapt attention as Sarah and Alex squared off against each other. The two mages were evenly matched, each displaying impressive skill and power.
The battle was intense, with both mages unleashing a barrage of spells and incantations. The crowd cheered as Sarah and Alex traded blows, each determined to come out on top.
Levi and Mark were on the edge of their seats, caught up in the excitement of the match. They watched as Sarah and Alex battled back and forth, neither giving an inch.
As the match entered its final moments, Sarah and Alex stood facing each other, both exhausted and battered. The crowd held its breath as the two mages raised their wands, ready to deliver their final blow.
In a flash of light, Sarah unleashed a powerful spell that hit Alex squarely in the chest. He stumbled backward, his wand falling from his hand as he collapsed to the ground.
The crowd erupted into cheers as Sarah was declared the winner. She raised her arms in triumph, a look of pure joy and elation on her face.
Levi and Mark clapped and cheered along with the rest of the crowd, impressed by the skill and determination of both mages.
With that result, it had been determined that Levi would fight Sarah in the semifinal. As they made their way back to their dorm to rest for the next day's fight, Levi felt confident.
He knew that he was a skilled mage, and he had a lot of experience under his belt. He was determined to give it his all and come out on top.
Mark could sense Levi's confidence, and he was happy for his friend. "You got this, man," he said. "I know you'll do great tomorrow."
Levi nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Thanks, Mark. I appreciate the support."
They arrived at their dorm, exhausted but exhilarated. The adrenaline from the match was still coursing through their veins, and they couldn't help but talk about what had happened.
"I can't believe Sarah pulled off that spell," Levi said, shaking his head in disbelief. "It was so powerful."
Mark nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she's a force to be reckoned with. But you're no slouch either, man. I'm sure you'll give her a run for her money."
Levi grinned, feeling a renewed sense of determination. He was ready for the challenge that lay ahead, and he was determined to come out on top.
The two friends settled into their respective beds, trying to get as much rest as possible before the next day's fight.
Levi lay there, his mind racing with thoughts of strategy and tactics. He knew that he had to be at the top of his game if he wanted to defeat Sarah.
As he drifted off to sleep, he couldn't help but think about all the hard work and sacrifice that had led him to this moment. He had spent countless hours studying and practicing, honing his skills and perfecting his craft.
He had sacrificed so much to get to where he was now, and he wasn't about to let all that hard work go to waste. He would do his best to win it.
