in the finals.
I wasnt sure if Ana would back down at this point and just let Kuzon get the medal, but I certainly hoped she didnt.
Theres nothing more to lose at this point.
Fight will all you have! My burning eyes moved in Anas direction.
Fortunately, she was looking at me and our eyes connected.
The petite girl nodded vehemently, obvious determination displayed on her face.
Leaving her direction, my eyes trailed to my opponent, Stefan.
Looks like you got what you wanted.
Well be fighting each other.
I grinned.
His scowl remained unfazed.
Yeah.
You better fight with all you have!
I couldnt promise that, but Stefan didnt have to worry I planned on showing him some very interesting things.
Alright! For the first match, we have Stefan Netherlore and Jared Leonard! The rest of you, please move off the stage.
An air of excitement rang among the audience as I and Stefan moved to our respective positions on the battleground.
It didnt take long for the whole area to be rendered empty, having only our moderator waiting at the edge to announce the battles commencement.
Begin! His loud voice echoed in my ears.
Prepare yourself! Stefan shouted, raising his hands as they both stretched at me.
Come to think of it this will be the first time Ill be really seeing Stefan use Magic I waited in observation.
Purple sparks of lightning appeared, sending the whole area into vibration.
In a flash, he sent multiple lashes at me.
SWOOOOSHH!!!
I immediately realized I needed to enhance my body in order to stand a chance against the speed of his attacks, and quickly did so.
Moving my body fluidly, I escaped the lashes of lightning he sent in multiple directions, watching as they scarred the stage we stood on.
That must be the Low-Tier Intermediate Spell: Lightning Whip.
My thoughts trailed, wondering why Stefan refused to use anything higher.
Come on, Jared! Are you going to keep running? He smiled.
Is he baiting me? Oh well, lets see what he has in store
Proceeding cautiously, but with piqued curiosity, I charged at Stefan with full speed.
I felt the wind brush in my face, causing my vision to blur in all areas except my target.
Of course, I was still maneuvering around the lightning lashes, approaching the target at a fairly high speed.
Suddenly, I caught Stefan giving me a sly grin.
Heh!
My eyes widened, realizing I had indeed fallen into whatever trap he set for me.
My speed was currently high, and it would take a while to dull my momentum.
Whatever the trap was, wherever it would be I was sure to fall into it!
SWUUUPP!!!
The ground I treaded suddenly became soft and unstable, and I found myself sinking, unable to come out of the seemingly muddy pool.
Ive got you! Stefan beamed, having a happy and satisfied expression on his face for tricking me.
He clapped his hands together and the earth began solidifying once again, like cement.
The boy meant to trap me halfway into the ground!
