The Duel Between Friends

The morning returned to shine a light on my gloomy life. I got up from the bed to take a shower. Today for sure I will be punished by the professor for leaving the class without a license.

Tokk...

Unlike usual, I suddenly felt like I heard a knock on the door.

Tokk..

The sound from behind the door rang again, meaning I was fully aware of my sleep. I also approached the doorknob lazily. Now before me stood a man in uniform, Delu.

"How are you doing now?"

"I'm fine."

"Good then."

Suddenly my memory sank to a time before today. Unconsciously, my eyes were staring at Delu. He who sees me looks at me waving his hands.

"W-Is there something wrong with me?"

"No. I'm going in first."

As she was about to turn around, Delu pulled my hand out of the room.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Come with me."

I also decided to follow him. He took me to a Romantic Tea not far from the female dormitory.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"I just want to spend time with you."

Suddenly my face was hot as if I was standing still in front of a campfire. I shook my head, trying to throw my strange thoughts away.

"Do you want lemon tea or iced tea?"

"Whatever."

"I didn't find it on the menu."

"Bas stupid."

Delu chuckled amusedly at me. I could only quietly take my eyes off her. As I looked out the window, Chely and Hedro were walking together. They seem very happy.

"What do you see out there?"

"Nothing."

After waiting for a few minutes, our order finally arrived. I felt less lustful, so I removed the tea. Delu who saw me immediately lowered the cup of tea she almost drank.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Didn't you like it?"

"I'm just not eating."

"really?"

Delu immediately pulled my arm out of the lake leaving two cups of tea still filled.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Follow it out."

Feeling my strength was less powerful, I could only follow him from behind without caring around.

"Come, comein!"

Delu took me to a place that looked foreign, but it looked pretty good. Interested in what I saw, I followed Delu inside.

"What is this place?"

"This is a Magic Duel."

"What's that?"

"Look at it later."

Tett.teretett...

The sound of trumpets began to sound. From behind the curtain there, came out an old man who was carrying a toa.

"Gentlemen, the magic duel is about to begin !"

The spectators cheered cheerfully as they held up a board that read the names of the fighters this time. I don't understand, so I can just sit still in the audience seat.

"This is. our defending champions!"

Suddenly, a man in a magician's robe appeared from above the carpet. That's great, maybe I can join this magic duel when I graduate class later.

"Come, we welcome them all!"

Shouts after shouts began to crush my eardrums. Delu who saw it instantly thrust out the earplugs.

"Thank you."

I began to attach it to my ears and refocused on the babble of the host.

"Alright, let's miss! Here is Jophiar the telekinesis expert!"

If noticed, its appearance is quite interesting. But, I think he looks even better if his body is covered by a cloak. I saw that the audience behind me was getting seduced by his "wow" posture".

"Next, here we have the theorist, Miss Meneth!"

I thought it meant peanuts. Unexpectedly, it turned out that a witch like her was acceptable as well with such a disrespectful appearance.

"There's another idol of women, that's Gebson the heir."

What kind of match is this? I think he's better than the others, but there's no heir. It's worth being the idol of silly, materialistic women.

"And one more perfect guy, Kuroku the expert makes zombies!"

"Last, surprise for everyone. Here we have two students of Lv 1 graduates who will follow the magic duel this year !"

Suddenly the atmosphere began to stiffen, after coming another pair of magicians. Their appearance made the floodlights dance over the two, I became curious.

"Let's welcome, this is our younger generation, Hedro and Chely!"

"What the fuck?!"

I screamed while I was breaking the chair. It was fortunate that it was too noisy, so no one heard it, except Delu.

"What's up, Fis?"

"Come, we start this duel !"

I who was surprised by the sight just gawked in disbelief.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, I-I'm good."

Now that I understood the meaning of their closeness back then, it turned out that this was what the two planned.

Throughout the duel match, I just daydreamed and did not pay attention to every trick they did there. I just looked blankly at the other side of the stage.

"The winner is Jophiar!"

Prokk..

"Finally we get to the end of the show, where the two little witches are going to compete!"

"Ah, here it is."

I began to fix my sitting position to be upright. The last two participants began to emerge from the carpet. I began to focus on watching the two of them intently, fearing that there would be bloodshed.

"I'll beat you."

"Oh yeah, we'll see."

"Related or lost?"

"Not yet to know."

The duel begins. Before that, I saw them whispering. Now, my worries are starting to stir.

"Are they gonna be okay?"

"Of course, take it easy. It's just a magic duel, so no one will get hurt."

Even so, I saw them like wild animals that wanted to kill each other. Unable to hold back the worries in my heart, I immediately descended from the audience seats.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

I ignored Delu, even I ignored all the spectators who were yelling at me for breaking through the dueling area.

"Death to you!"

I ran as hard as I could to stop this duel. Looks like if I don't come, one of them will definitely end up in the clinic.

"M-get away, I-I warn you! Me, I have.."

"What's? You got a brilliant brain?"

"I-i'm.."

"Then give it!"

Hedro started to raise his magic wand up and point it at Chely.

"Death to you!"

"Hedro, stop!"

Sringg..!!

"Keep that away now!"

"Miss.. Ficilia! What are you doing here?!"

Hedro began to pull back his magic wand. Thankfully, it's not too late to stop Hedro. This place is like the wild, in order to survive we have to eat or be eaten.

"Why are you here?"

"Are you crazy?! Chely could've ended up in the clinic, if I hadn't stopped you!"

When I looked at him I didn't see Hedro, what I saw now was a creepy beast. Suddenly, his pupils dilated and the creature was no longer visible.

"Chely. I-I'm really mi-"

"Well, it looks like we have a guest or we could say a new participant."

"Physilia, go from there!"

Sounded from a distance Delu told me to get out of the area, but it was too late. It seems like this is a forbidden place, the proof is that something like a protective shield is starting to cover my exit.

"W-what the..."

"Guests, it looks like we have one more participant here ! Let's welcome..What's your name, son?"

Surprised by what this old man before me was asking, I quickly gave him a fake name. I interpret it as a chemical mystery.

"Chemistery."

"What are your abilities?"

"Expert in concocting potions, medicine also has an official certificate as a child professor."

The host seemed confused by what I said. I just want to be a little arrogant, he must not underestimate a Fisilia child from the Gulion Demonty.

"Ekhem, okay. Let's welcome, the girl of y-type who is an expert in the field of chemistry and. the best student in the potion class..!"

I knew he would lose to me. Don't let me take you on a duel, Uncle. I saw the spectators starting to fall silent at the last word of this old man. I just chuckled at his silly behavior in the duel area.

"Are you sure you still want to tell me to fight, Uncle?"
