121 Beginning of the Semi Final
"You dare-"
"That's enough!" said Julius who appeared on the field to neutralize the scenario.
Seeing the Wizard King Langris eased up a bit, though Sekke was still focused on him ready to blast him at any moment.
"Those who go easy on their companions in a fight can't be trusted. But those who try to kill their companions have problems that run much deeper than trust," said Julius. He then looked toward Sekke and ordered, "Lower your weapons."
"...Alright," said Sekke as all the gaster blasters and swords disappeared.
Langris who now had more room to move around lowered his hand and sneered at Finral.
"Companion? That useless fool bright shame upon the Magic Knights."
"...Let's kill him already." said Luck as lightning cracked around his gloves.
"Believe me Luck, I would have if he were not a Magic Knight," said Sekke as Extase vibrated feeling Sekke's emotions.
"Finral's nicer than anybody! That's what makes him a true Magic Knight! No matter how tough you are, you're no Magic Knight!" said Asta with an angered look on his face.
Lang frowned after hearing Asta's words.
"I'm not a Magic Knight? What? Haha, I guess making it this far has gone to your head. You sure talk big for a Black Bulls newbie." He then looked toward Julius and asked, "Wizard King, would you let me battle them before the next match starts? Actually, let's just start."
Langris then raised his hand once again to attack Asta.
But before he could even form the spell, a fist hit his face and knocked him down.
"First of all, your opponent is me, Asta is already out. Secondly, know your place you fu*King trash. I didn't hear the Wizard King permitting you to start the match, who the hell do you think you even are?" said Sekke with a slightly angered tone.
He then looked toward Julius and said, "I apologize for taking action. And as for Langris's request. I would like to decline and ask you to go through with the matches as they were meant to be.
"What happened? Did you get scared?" asked Langris as he sat up.
Sekke looked down at the fallen spatial mage and with a smile on his face said, "I mean...crushing you when you are this weak and injured will surely make me feel embarrassed. So I am giving you time to get healed and then beat you."
Hearing that Langris's mana started to rampage as he got angrier.
The two glared at each other as Sekke pushed back the mana that was coming out of Langris without much difficulty.
"Stop it you two!" ordered Julius to which Sekke stopped using his mana, but Langris continued to release his making Julius sigh as he used his [Time Binding Magic: Chromo Stasis] to trap Langris in a sphere.
"You can hear me, yes?" said Julius as he glanced at Langris.
"Sekke-kun, in an actual battle there is no one who says 'start' and 'stop' you know," said Julius asking him to fight right now.
"Yes, that is true....but it is also true, that on a battlefield, it's the truly stronger one who decides how long the bugs who are facing him live. Plus what I said earlier is true as well...I want to crush him when he is totally healed so that I can injure him more. Also...I need to heal my squad mate and make sure that he is there when my match starts." said Sekke as he glanced at Finral.
"That kind of injury will take a while to heal Sekke-kun," said Julius.
"Not when the dark lord is involved," said Sekke as he walked towards Finral and kneeled to his level.
[Bronze Creation Magic: Safe of Eternity- Manager]
A small translucent tablet-like structure appeared in Sekke's hand. He then took out one of the witch queen's healing bottles and opened it in front of Finral.
A cocoon formed over Finral's body and started healing him.
"He will be fine now, Wizard King please go through the matches, like it was supposed to," said Sekke as he and Asta held Finral's body and placed him over his shoulder.
"*Sigh*Alright, I will keep Langris on hold and will let go of him when your next match start," said Julius as he ordered Cobb to return them to the stage.
Once they returned Sekke placed Finral on a cushion made of Charmy's magic.
"Wake up Finral. You are healed up," said Sekke, but the man didn't react.
"...Vanessa-san please make a sexy moan near his ear," asked Sekke.
"Really?" asked Vanessa.
"It's the second most effective way after kicking him in the balls," said Sekke.
Vanessa sighed and nodded. She cleared her throat and then moved closer to him.
"Finral-kun~ Wake up you naughty boy~," said Vanessa in an overly erotic voice, causing Noelle, Grey, Asta, Sekke, Magna, and even the super siscon Gauche to blush on the spot."
"H-Hai! I am awake!!!" said Finral as he woke up immediately with a blush on his cheeks.
"Hm hm hm, I have a sexy voice," said Vanessa feeling proud.
Sekke agreed with her but didn't say anything and just cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"So Finral? How did it feel? Beating the crap of your brother."
"Sekke-kun...it felt awesome. I don't know why but I feel...relieved."
"It's violence Finral. It's a beautiful thing that relieves a man's stress," said Sekke in a sage tone.
"Alright! Stop corrupting Finral's thinking!" said Vanessa as she smacked Sekke's head.
"Ow! Hey, I am telling the truth!" said Sekke but was ignored by everyone as all of them started focusing on Finral.
"Nya~"
Feeling a pat on his leg Sekke noticed Vanessa's cat rogue trying to comfort him.
Sekke held the cat in his arms and scratched its chin.
"You are the only one on my side Rouge," said Sekke in a dramatic tone while the cat mewed happily in his arms.
Soon the other matches of stage two were over as well with results being along Sekke's predictions.
--------------------
Stage-2 Match-3
Winner: X(Ril), Nils, Ruben
--------------------
--------------------
Stage-2 Match-4
Winner: En, Yuno, Noelle
--------------------
"Alright with this, stage 2 is complete. Now let's move onto stage 3." declared Julius.
Hearing the announcement, Sekke stood up and stretched his body.
"Sekke-kun, please be safe. Langris is not acting normally. You can feel his magic power as well right?"
"Finral, I will say this in advance...don't ask me to go easy on him. Because I am not planning to do that. He may be your brother. But the one who is my friend is you, not him." said Sekke.
Finral who heard Sekke's words nodded as his fists clenched.
"Sekke-kun...knock some sense into my idiot brother's head," said Finral as he raised his fist forward
A smile appeared on Sekke's face as he fist-bumped Finral and got ready for his fight.
------------------------
Currently, on the battlefield, Sekke and his team just teleported to their spot.
Adrian who saw Sekke immediately grabbed him by the collar.
"You commoner! Why do you have to anger the vice-captain of Golden Dawn?" asked Adrian in anger.
Sekke looked at the man who was grabbing his collar, held his hands, and started crushing them with his strength.
"First of all, be within your limits, I am not taking action against you because I somewhat need you in the team to participate in the match. Secondly, he pissed me off," said Sekke as he threw the purple orca mage off him.
"Willie, the same strategy," said Sekke.
Willie nodded and started doing his work.
"Don't get in the way Adrian, I have given you full freedom to do whatever the hell you like without worrying about the crystal so just don't piss me off," said Sekke.
"You! How dare you talk to a noble like that!"
"Meh, I had this gift from the day I was born, what can I say?" replied Sekke while shrugging his shoulders.
Soon Willie returned and looked at the fallen Adrian but just ignored him, he too didn't like how the noble was being an ass, but he decided to not retaliate since he was a commoner and not a strong one at that.
"Preparation is done Sekke," said Willie as Sekke responded with a nod.
"Alright, guys. Not wanna lower the morale or anything. But this fight is gonna be difficult. Both Anna and that bitch Langris are strong. You two have an advantage against Anna, at least an element-wise. So, I will suggest if you want to take somebody on then go for her. I don't know about that Fragil chick though. And if any of you are planning to deal with Langris...well do as you want. Just don't get in my way."
The two remained silent and heard Sekke's words attentively. They knew by now though Sekke had some...uniqueness he was someone strong and had great battle knowledge. They also knew that if they had any shot of beating Langris then it was the black bulk who was standing in front of them.
"Alright, then I am going to find Langris," said Sekke as his bike appeared. He immediately got on it and rode away to find the spatial mage.
