Author's P.O.V
All the students were gathered at the observation centre that had multiple seats for them all and a very big screen in front of them, as it projects the battlefield. The battlefield was a large space with the walls all white and the floors included, the space seemed unreal... But seeing it was a battlefield it was pretty much understandable.
Through the fore-end and beginning areas, both had an entrance for the participants. The general in charge stayed in the observation room with the students but had an ear microphone to make the necessary announcements, which could still be heard from the battle area.
"Alright now, we have all gathered here to witness the battle between the 1st reps and the 12th reps, but which team will come out on top... Let's see, shall we?" the general announced while having an interesting expression on his face.
'Now let's see how well this goes' the general thought while squinting his eyes in anticipation.
Flashback to about 1 hour and 30 minutes ago
Generals P.O.V
I made my way into the main assembly being escorted by a few security officials in their imperial armour and I just grumbled at the sight of the students in front of me, I despise this assessment because of the lack of impressive strength and commendable skills that truly represent an official member of the dragon guild from the recruits from these assessments. I finally reached the main assembly to see something expected... The 1st reps seemed to be promising as I could feel the mana presence radiating from them... Though no surprise there, they are the disciples of the 1st bishop and right hand to the monarch, so, of course, they were exceptional...
'I guess it's just another win for them again this year.'
I was about to just pass by the students... Until I felt an unreal power... One that seems to be far above any official member of the Dragon Guild... Or even a squad lieutenant. I turned my back to look at the source of that mana presence... And to my shock... It was the 12th representatives... With each producing their kind of overwhelming mana presence...
'Incredible...'
I felt a sudden smile of joy overcome my expression as finally... This year's set is something far above what he has observed throughout the years he has served.
'And it seemed that even the other oppositions seem to feel it too, but what is this?'
I thought while observing the behaviour of the 1st reps towards the 12th reps... A newfound rivalry. The situation continued to escalate until the blond female from the 12th settled it and left with her team... Though the tension was settled... The conflict is not yet over.
"What a plan," I said with a devious smile on my face.
A few minutes after the announcement
"sir... If I may ask, why would you set up these two conflicting academies against one another?" one of my escorts spoke in a both worried and curious tone, as I just turned to him and said.
"Well I'm sure you already sensed the mana presence from both teams, and yes this got my interest so much, I want to see what their power truly holds..." I stopped my walk and gazed at the now battlefield in sight and grinned. "I want to use this newfound rivalry to bring out the best in one another... And what's the best way to do so, if not planning to rip each other apart?"
End of flashback
Author's P.O.V
'Now show me what you all got.' the general thought in his mind while bringing up the list with the matchups.
'Perfect'
"We have the 1st representatives at the left side of the battlefield... And then we have the 12th representatives at the right, so now if you hear your name being called, then you will make your way in the battlefield... And this goes for both teams." The general announced while glaring at the screen as everyone became quiet... Wandering the first pair to go head-on. "And the first matchup will be
From the 1st reps, Her Highness Dutchess of Jescoline, gel magnolia."
The silver-haired girl, with a petite form, came out of the entrance at the left side and had a long ice crystal staff at her right hand. She glared at the other entrance at the right, as even though her very presence cooled the room temperature to about a few degrees down... The amount of heat radiating from the other edge was simply one word... Blistering
"And from the 12th reps...
Rin... kamado"
Rin came out of the other entrance with a grin on her face, as she stared at gel from across the room.
"Get ready... Fight!" the general called out, as Rin just started to stretch her limbs and Gel stood and watched.
"You first princess... Hit me with your best shot!" Rin stouts out with a very confident grin as she keeps on stretching. "Won't want to act rude now, would we?"
"How dare you, you'll pay for your insult!" gel shouted out as Rin just had a confused face right now.
'wait... An insult?' Rin thought how it was an insult, but then instantly caught off by a sudden arctic gale. Gel raised her staff and then her chronicle appeared just beside her and was glowing light blue, as her eyes started to glow the same colour.
'Magic technique: full concentration!'
"Frozen wasteland!" she chanted while slamming her staff to the ground and producing a torrent of ice and snow all around her, though it immediately buried Rin as this made Gel grin with pride.
'I knew going full-on out would make sure of my victory, she thought I wouldn't take the chance of having the first attack... Well that fool got it all wrong, the ice and snow around me are the same temperature of liquid nitrogen, so within a few seconds of impact, even her blood will turn ice block.' Gel smiled and was about to turn her back until.
"You know, after seeing you bring out your chronicle, I got excited really." Gel turned her head towards the source of Rin's voice, as she was currently within a spot where the snow seemed to be non-existence... But how. "But this is just sad really..."
Rin said with a bored expression as she inhaled some of the arctic breeze around and stared at Gel who was now furious at this sudden development.
"Using my chronicle would just be an overkill." Rin chipped out and then released an exhale of hot breath, as this instantly melted and vaporized all the ice and snow in the room hitting gel with a sudden heat wave. Everyone got a quick shock at this moment even some of Gel's teammates stared in disbelief... What power.
'what... How is this even possible?' Gel questioned, as she tried to get her footing from the sudden blast of wind from Rin with heat that started to affect her ice crystal staff. "That spell I casted was a very high-level spell that even some grown-up mage had a hard time doing... But you just blew it away... How dare you treat me like a little ant!"
Gel shouted while trying to cast a very devastating blast of ice, as the mana from it was so overwhelming that even the observation room could feel the frost from there. Although Rin just stares with an annoyed look on her face.
"I am a giant that will crush you, this next spell will make sure to deal with you, permanently... And trust me, after I'm done with you, my teammates with definitely deal with your stupid friends, now die you lonely orphan!" Gel roared out sending a blast of frost at Rin who just stood there with a torn look of pure hate, Even though the ice blast that was the size of a house was sent towards her and her very skin started to feel the pinch of the cold. She just stared at it with glowing red golden eyes.
"You disgust me... You are not even worth my time...
'Magic technique: full concentration!'
"Burn"
Rin spoke with a soft voice as all of a sudden, the whole battle terrain turned into a bright golden red. Then a torrent of flame erupted from Rin's body, vaporizing anything that came in contact with it. The inferno disintegrated the frost blast and blew gel away, melting her staff too as gel cried out in pain.
The flames then settled down, as Rin just made her way towards the entrance and gave a thumbs up to the camera, Cheers flared from the observation room and even the general was massively impressed by this....
'Even without her chronicle... Her victory was already assured... Remarkable.' the general smiled at this.
In the 12th reps waiting room
Rin entered the room to be tackled by dante so suddenly.
"Nice one Rin! You showed that fry who's boss!" dante hugged her as Rin just blushed at this but hugged back with a soft smile, Mark then came to hug them both and lift them in the air while chanting winners.
"Well I expected nothing less," Trinity said with a soft smile, as Rin then ran to hug her too. Even Luca just gave her a thumbs up.
"Hehe though it was really easy, Talk about small fry am I right?" Rin snickered with a cat smile, but then Luca just rolled his eyes in a bored way.
"I'm just gonna wait my turn with a little shut-eye," Luca said as he was about to lie down on the couch... Until...
"And up next from the 12th reps...
Luca gomen!" the general announced, as Luca just opened his eyes again and just stood up and walked out with a slouched back
"I'll make this quick" luca said with a bored voice as he walked out, though everyone wished him luck still as he just gave a thumbs up and summoned his sword that was still sleathed. "I have to cut time short"
