"(The ball of fire)!" Iris cast a spell at the time the fight began.
The fireball flew straight towards Al, but Al jumped to the side avoiding it easily. He then closed the distance between him and Iris and swung his sword.
Iris blanching. He hurriedly created a mana barrier that was almost instantly broken. At the same time, he made a wind arrow and shot it into Al's face.
"Hahahaha, is that all you have?" Al laughed mockingly and brushed the arrow to the side. He then raised his leg and kicked towards Iris.
“Ugh!” Iris hurriedly created a barrier and received the attack. Despite this, he was forced to take a few steps back.
Al smirked, he punched the barrier again and broke it. Then, he continued with another slash.
Iris could only create another barrier in an attempt to stop her.
Unfortunately, this barrier did not last long either.
Iris was only a fourth-tier practitioner, one layer weaker than Al. And although the difference between the layers is not everything in a fight, it is very important.
Only certain geniuses were able to overcome the mana layer to defeat someone stronger than them. Geniuses like them were either talented in magic, with special battle techniques, or born with very special talents.
In fact, most nobles could easily face ordinary practitioners one layer higher because of their higher grade techniques.
But Iris was not someone who was used to fighting. Even though he had reached the fourth layer, his experience in battle was extremely miserable. In fact, he could lose even against an experienced third tier practitioner.
So, facing the stronger and more experienced fifth layer Al, Iris could barely protect herself while doing her best to find opportunities.
Barrier after barrier destroyed. In less than a minute, Al had smashed through over ten barriers with a grinning gaze.
Even the students who watched the fight could see he was just playing with Iris. He could have ended the fight earlier, but he wanted to humiliate him.
“What's up, Miss Iris? Can you just hold on? You are really a coward, hahahaha.”.
Iris's eyes turned red. He looked at Al with an angry expression, but his eyes shone with determination.
No matter how many barriers Al broke, he continued to create even more. He could feel his mana thinning with every barrier he made, but he endured.
At the same time, he cast a spell secretly.
He was very careful not to let Al realize anything. Iris was not good at double-casting so it was very difficult, but she forced herself to win and continued while gritting her teeth.
Second by second, minute by minute. No matter what Al said, he was focused on winning.
*About!*
Another barrier is broken.
Iris took a few steps back and created another barrier.
As of now, Al's smile was as wide as possible. The joy of humiliating his enemy in public was exhilarating.
He looked at Iris and shook his head. “Nona Iris, you can't back down anymore. One step back and you'll leave the stage. ”
Iris did not answer. She bit her lips with a nervous expression. He was close, just a little longer.
However, Al misunderstood his expression as fear. He smiled with satisfaction and raised his sword.
“Well, I'm tired of this pursuit. Miss Iris, do you have any last words.”
Iris put on a cold look. "Stupid." She said.
"What are you saying, bitch?"
Iris looked into his eyes and smiled. Slowly, he opened his mouth. "Stupid."
Instantly, Al's face turned ugly.
"You little bastard!" He filled his sword with mana and kicked the ground.
Iris' barrier was unable to withstand even a single blow. Al's sword pierced through the barrier as easily as cutting through butter.
But at that moment, Iris's lips curved upwards.
"Chain!" iris screaming.
A magic circle appeared on the ground below Al. The magic circle lit up and the five mana chains flew towards Al's body.
Fifth Layer Spells, (Mana Chains)!
The spell Iris had prepared all this time was finally finished.
Al surprised. He was unable to avoid the spells and chains entangling his limbs.
"Chain?" Although surprised, Al did not panic. He only needed a few seconds to dispel a spell like this, and it wasn't enough time for Iris to defeat him.
However, a ring on Iris' right hand lit up at that moment.
It was the ring I gave her before the fight started. The key to this battle.
A teleportation ring.
It created a magic circle under them and started to activate. Three seconds, that was all Iris needed to prepare her ring.
When Al saw the teleportation magic circle, he knew he was in trouble.
In a hurry, he released all the mana in his body.
“AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!”
A sharp sword intent surged in the arena, cutting chain after chain into pieces. But at the same time, the teleportation magic circle was ready.
The next second, a magic circle flashed.
The entire arena was silent.
Finally, Dina sighed beside me.
"… That's embarrassing."
I'm nodding. “Luck is not on our side this time. If the chain lasts a little longer, the fight will end in a draw. ”
Yes, only Iris was teleported off stage.
As for Al, even though he had cold sweat running down his forehead and a pale expression, he was still inside the arena.
“The winner is Al Riea.”
With the school principal's announcement, the battle was decided.
