Chereads / Rise Of The Unremarkable Mage / Chapter 22 - 10 Min Countdown Finale

Chapter 22 - 10 Min Countdown Finale

The battle continues with Rose gaining the upper hand after revealing two unique techniques. 

"Teleportation and temporary paralysis" Cesaer spoke.

The students conversed with one another. "Rose is pretty strong and cool if you ask me" "Wow is she about to beat a 12-Star Mage?" "Another beat today?" "Tch they shouldn't be exempt from the Magus Exam" "What makes them so special?" "Shh, they can hear us" The students chattered. 

All that were watching were taken Rose's side as she looked unstoppable. 

The rest of the council members do nothing as they watch silently and continue to spectate the match.

"Why these-" Ezekiel begins to tense up.

I grab his hand "Calm down man it's just a match. Who cares what they say" he then slowly begins to relax for a bit as we turn our attention back to the match. Rose continues to talk smack. "Is that all you got Virgo you gotta put in more than that. Come on try something."

BEAM

CRACK CRACK

Rose destroys the oncoming beams that come from Heaven's Light. She then moves a few feet away from Eriko as she once again raises to her feet with her head down. Without her rapier away from her.

"She's no longer to use the rapier," Luna asks.

"Isn't that her main weapon?" Faith asks.

"Just watch Eriko without her weapon is something else. I know first hand"

She then looks up as her eyes begin to glow and yellowish-white hue. As it slowly begins to spread throughout her body.

Rose prepares for the next attack.

A simple flash occurs as Eriko is now gone.

Eriko instantly kicks Rose in the face.

Punch to the arm

ZIP

CLAP CLAP

Eriko's arm drops but falls through with a kick that Rose blocks.

"Tch"

WARP

"What speed" Issac remarks.

"6 minutes left"

Rose then teleports again but Eriko turns into light and appears above Rose this continues the two avoiding getting hit by each other. 

Rose's expression went from cool and collected to more of a rushed and concerned look with every teleportation she did.

"What's wrong with getting tired now?" Eriko asks.

"HA" Rose swings her whip again.

ZIP

Eriko appears behind her and goes for an attack.

POW

Rose gets knocked to the ground.

ZIP

BAM

ZIP

POW

Rose evades, ducks, jumps does everything she can to avoid the attacks. Little do they know their match is damaging the area around them 

Eriko with a nonstop fury with attacks that won't let go. Rose doesn't get the chance to rest.

Eriko then stops and motions her right hand into a circle as multiple spheres of white light appear. She then shoots her hands out at the spheres to fly toward Rose. Rose dances across the courtyard with her whip dodging and striking each sphere that she comes in contact with. 

BOOM BOOM BOOM

The environment gets more destroyed.

"ARGH" AHH.

Some of which are almost hitting the students.

"Luna, do you perhaps get out of hand?" Issac asks.

"Hmm a little"

BOOM

As a chunk of the wall in front of them gets destroyed.

"Her magic really is destructive when it's not controlled"

"Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. When using her rapier Eriko has more control of his magic as she inputs it into the rapier. When she's freely using it she doesn't know how to control it that well" I speak up.

"5 minutes remain" Ceaser again speaks up.

"Look out" 

BOOM

Ceaser's sand blocks the blast.

On the other end of the courtyard, students panic as the blasts hit them as well. 

" Aahhhhh" a girl falls from the second floor.

Suddenly a giant hand swoops in and catches her.

Albeck Reigns saves her.

A commotion starts to rise as students are running and leaving the area. 

"We have to stop her now" Luna demands. 

Rose looks around as she spots her friends ducking from the attacks. "Hey, Twelve Star I believe we should postpone this fight to a later date."

Eriko gives no response.

"Twelve Star?"

BOOM 

Eriko doesn't listen and tries to defeat Rose.

"What the hell?!" Rose backs away. 

DING DONG DING DONG 

The Bellflower appears once again as Bella comes down. "Rose, we gotta get outta here as the other girls follow."

ZIP

Eriko appears above them.

"What the hell has gotten into you?!" Rose yells as the girls brace for an impact. 

SMACK

A giant fist smacks Eriko to the side as Albeck jumps down from the second floor.

I jump down and rush over to Albeck.

"Valerus!" both Faith and Ezekiel follow me.

"Faith" Luna follows as Issac and Ceaser come along as well. 

"Hey, what the hell man?!" as I confront him face to face. 

"I did what I had to do," Albeck said in a deep but soft voice. 

"But you didn't have to do that?"

"Well, could you have done it?" he questions me.

I wear a mixed and confused look on my face. 

ZIP

Eriko appears between me and Albeck.

His eyes widen as he barely manages to block the kick with his giant fists. As he gets put back a few feet.

The others arrive as we surround Eriko.

WIND CREATION MAGIC: Fighting Cyclones 

Axel finally reveals his magic to be wind magic. 

Two cyclones form as they collapse on one another as Erikos gets trapped.

ILLUSION MAGIC: BOX

Issac casts his box as well.

WATER CREATION MAGIC: WATER CELL

Faith creates water cells over the Box.

Myself, the student council, Ezekiel, Albeck, and Rose stand in disbelief at what just occurred.

"Is everyone alright?"

WHOOSH

"What is the meaning of this?" a voice says.

We all look behind us as it was the Headmaster Alfred Dawkins.

"Sir this is just-"

He raises his hand "I've seen enough. The ones who have participated in this Eriko Agnello and Rose Providence your exemptions have been revoked you WILL participate in the Magus Exam as your ratings have returned to default D."

We all look in shock.

"What is this? I didn't do anything wrong"Rose attempts to defend herself.

"But your actions have caused her to be at this point" Alferd bounces back as he turns to the student council. "As for you guys you did well to protect the students from damage but allowing this match to happen in the first place is unacceptable" "As for Albeck Reigns and Ezekiel Agnes, since this too be a lesson. You are also no longer exempt and WILL participate in the magus exams." 

Ezekiel speaks up "What that's bogus we didn't even do anything" Ezekiel then points to Albeck "he saved two girls if anything he should be the only one excused from this." 

"That is true" Alfred says.

"No I'll take the Magus Exam" Albeck speaks up. "I believe it's not far for me too be the only exempt mage from this Magus Exam. I'll take it to prove too you why I deserve that A ranking."

We all look in shock at this turn of events. The ones who were exempt will no longer be. Heading into the Magus Exam are me, Ezekiel, Eriko, Rose, Albeck, Bella, Lily, Azalea, and Sunneta.
