"Both participants please take a position!"
All the members of the non-competing class had exited the field, leaving the participants participating in the first round, namely me and a male student from class C, whom I did not know his name.
On the instructions of the host, I and the male student took positions, standing about 10 meters apart, facing each other.
"All right, ladies and gentlemen! The first duel on this day, begins!" With a carefree tone accompanied by a smoldering spirit, the host announced the start of the duel on this day. The loud bell, following after the host's declaration, indicated that we could exchange attacks.
I swiftly responded to the sound of the bell, gathering Carlania particles, preparing to activate magic at any time.
In a duel like this, whoever attacked first, would benefit... That's how ordinary people think, but in fact, it's not that simple.
If I think about it carefully, the one who attacked first, just as much revealed their abilities earlier, which would be fatal in a one-on-one duel like this.... Therefore, professionals, will usually be careful when starting an exchange of attacks.
"Magic Sets. Fireball!"
Or so I thought...
The duel scenario in my head that should have been tense in the beginning because of the stare at each other to identify the opponent's abilities, did not happen this time...
My opponent, confidently, and recklessly, attacked me with a fireball magic of considerable diameter, which was three meters.
I did not activate my magic right away, the first thing I did was to avoid the fireball attack that shot towards me, by running sideways, away from the direction of the fireball.
But of course, my enemies won't let me get away with it easily. He immediately fired another fireball towards the direction I was running. I kept running, dodging the fireball attack.
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
The fireball, for the sake of the fireball, continued to shoot towards me, all of which I could easily avoid by running sideways, avoiding the direction of the trajectory of the fireball.
"Firebal! Fireballs! Fireballs! Fireballs! Stop dodging and attack me! Fireballs! Fireball!" Speak to my opponent in annoyance while continuing to activate his magic. It could be said that he activated magic in a row, but it was common knowledge that the magic activation time took a few seconds. It was this split of a few seconds that I used it to identify the incoming attacks, making me able to dodge the attacks without any problems.
"Class A is desperate! You can see these ladies and gentlemen, Class A, are forced to continue to avoid Class C attacks." Said the host, who was in charge of being a match commentator.
They think I'm desperate? It's good that they think that way.
But... Is that person only able to use fireball magic? His attack was just that.
"Well... Huh... Huh... Stop dodging and fight me fucking!" My opponent stopped his attack, with a breath of terror he threw his protest at me. With anger of course.
"There's no point in me fighting you. You alone can only use magic that I have so easily avoided. If you want me to fight you, you must attack me with an attack that makes me retaliate for your attack."
I'm not sure he can only use fireball magic. He must have hidden his ability, so I provoked him, to get him to bring out all his abilities here.
Sorry if I'm a midget... My reply, in my head.
It seems, my provocation worked. Looks like he'll attack me with another attack....
...... Or so I thought...
"Don't die fucking midget! Magic Sets. Massive Fireball!"
Mm... He doesn't use any other magic. It was still fireball magic, but this time it made a fairly large fireball, up to 50 meters in diameter.
"Brothers... It seems that class C participants, will use magic that is so dangerous." Said the commentator in a slightly nervous tone.
The fireballs my opponent used were getting bigger. It seems that he had to collect Carlania particles first to create a fireball that matches his magical name, Massive.
"Magic sets. The waterfall."
Baaar!
Only a fool would let his enemy gather strength to carry out such an attack. I casually, activated the magic, creating a large amount of water over my opponent's head. A large amount of water fell down, extinguishing the fireball he made, as well as drowning it. The water that I created was like a waterfall, which fell from a height so heavily.
"Blublublublublublubb.... Gaaah..."
My opponent tried to say something, his mouth gasping in the water, making huge bubbles every time he opened his mouth. This funny incident happened for a few seconds, until in the end he was out of breath, losing consciousness... I immediately stopped my magic, making my opponent's body fall to the ground violently with the body already soaked.
"I-I-It... It's unexpected! Class A wins in just one strike!"
"Wooooooaah!"
It seems that my victory was unexpected by the audience and the host. There was a moment of silence as I managed to render my opponent unconscious. But after the host, who served as the commentator declared my victory, the silence was immediately replaced with an explosion of the sound of the audience shouting with a deafening shout.
"What an unexpected match. At first glance, class A seems desperate, but at the end of class A is able to subvert his opponent in just one attack! It turns out that the nickname class A as the best class is not a mere figment!"
"Wooooah!"
Ignoring the follow-up comments of the host and the cheers of an increasingly becoming audience. I walked out of the arena, heading to where my group was.
Freaky... Obviously, Class C is also aiming for victory in this round. But why would they send someone who could only use one magic? Are there no competent people in Class C? Or are they deliberately hiding their strongest members?
Well... Whatever it is, I am happy to win without having to reveal my abilities further... My next game will be a challenge for me.
