As the two nobles were heading towards their chosen opponents, "Do you really think those two will be okay? I'm quite worried since the one they are going against is my brother." Said the princess, "I'm also worried but I trust them especially because he said it, I'm pretty sure that Ace faced quite the monster himself or he wouldn't be as strong as he is plus I think he has a card in his sleeve that may be of help to them. Either that or he thinks Isabella has one, in both cases we can only do what we can while they do their part." Answered Frank.
Hearing this the princess steels he resolve. After several minutes they located the second years who decided to go look for the treasure instead of fighting, unfortunately for them the duo engaged them. "Fall thunder and strike them
"They are on that rock!" yelled one of the second years through which they counter-attacked with a "Wind blast", Frank grabbed hold of the princess and created a rock-barrier. As they were discovered there were no other choice but for an all-out battle. With anxiety but with a smile on their faces, they exchanged glances, nodded to each other and engaged their seniors.
The battle raged on as the princess unleashed long ranged wind and lightning attacks thanks to her affinity with wind and light attributes and Frank engaged in close range attacks creating and surrounding himself in a rock armor he controlled at will but also unleashed "Earth Fangs" which created spikes that destabilized their formation.
The second years also unleashed many attacks while trying to overpower the duo but to no avail, a perfect two-man formation with close and long ranged attacks with such strong resistance in a moments notice thanks to Frank's support, the princess was able to target and eliminate two of the second years and Frank using the dust unleashed a wide area magic attack "Terra Wave" which sent tens of hundreds of rocks onto the remaining two, hence earning victory.
During the time of their fight with the second years, Ace and Isabella came up with their own strategy. "Hey Ace, do you even have a plan to beat the third years? I don't know why but something tells me you didn't." asked Isabella, "Hahaha, I wouldn't say it's a plan but more like a gamble. That's why we'll be playing a double game with the third years. So here is the plan…" Answered Ace as they devise a plan to win. "It truly is a gamble but it is still quite the plan, fine I'll go along with it but it better work out."
And so they finally meet their opponents. "Hmm one first year and one helper seems fishy." said Isaac, "Yes you are right brother it is after all the first year's spirits arts use and the other one must either possess some skills or he is bait." Said Theodore. "Enough we are in the middle of battle so let's leave the small talk." Said The prince, "Sure!" answered the twins.
"You must be quite confident to come face with only you two so my guess is that my sister and lord Wellberg went after the second years or they are planning an ambush." Claimed the prince, "Bingo, you really are quite insightful your highness. It was the first option the correct." added Ace, "Hahaha, I see well it is true that in a small amount of time they grew stronger so it is not impossible but if you are here it must mean you are confident in taking us on." The prince continued.
While Ace and the prince exchanged glances, Ace unsheathed his sword and with a smirk he leaped in one instant infront of the prince and so they exchanged blows and massive shockwave was created. "Iza I'm leaving you the other two." Yelled Ace. With a single hand movement Isabella created a wall ice enclosing the twins.
"Seems like you're our opponent but can you really handle the both of us alone?" asked Issac, "I'm not sure but I'm confident both sides will discover the answer sooner or later." answered Isabella. With this the battle commences while the Princess and Frank are confused and surprised about what appeared infront of them.
