CH 32: HEALING MAGE

The sun beat down on the courtyard, casting a warm glow over the gathered students. The air was electric with tension as the battles raged on. The sound of clashing magic and the scent of ozone filled the air, creating an atmosphere of excitement and competition.

To the left of the courtyard, a group of students watched in awe as Aria and Jax faced off against each other. Aria, a petite girl known for her quick reflexes and cunning magic, was a force to be reckoned with. Jax, a tall and brooding boy with yellow hair, was a powerful and unpredictable opponent.

The two students circled each other, their eyes locked in a fierce stare. The air around them seemed to vibrate with tension as they prepared to cast their spells. Aria was the first to strike, sending a blast of air magic towards Jax. But Jax was ready, countering with a spell of fire that sent Aria stumbling backward.

The battle raged on, with Aria and Jax exchanging blows and counterattacks. Their magic swirled around each other, creating a vortex of color and light that was both beautiful and deadly.

As the battle reached its climax, Aria landed a critical hit, striking Jax with a precise blast of magic that sent him stumbling backward. The students cheered and clapped, their voices echoing across the courtyard.

Instructor Thrain stepped forward, a wide grin spreading across his face. "Excellent work, Aria! Your control and precision are truly impressive. And Jax, don't be discouraged - your fire magic is still one of the strongest in the class."

"Thanks, Instructor Thrain," Aria said. "I've been practicing my magic a lot lately."

Jax approached Aria, a smile on his face. "Good job, Aria," he said. "You got me good."

The next battle was about to begin, and the students were eager to see what would happen.

The crowd's attention now turned to the next match, as Lila and Ryker prepared to face off against each other.

The students were eager to see how Lila's healing magic would fare against Ryker's powerful spells.

The students continued to watch as the next battle began. Lila, a quiet and reserved girl with a talent for healing magic, was facing off against a boy named Ryker.

Ryker was a skilled mage, his magic powerful and precise. But Lila was not to be underestimated, her healing magic proving to be a valuable asset in the battle.

"You can do it , Lila!" Kaiden shouted as she was his childhood friend.

The two students faced each other, their eyes locked in a fierce stare. The air around them seemed to vibrate with tension as they prepared to cast their spells. Ryker, confident in his abilities, decided to take the initiative. He cast a blast of fire magic towards Lila, hoping to catch her off guard.

Lila, however, was not caught off guard. She had been expecting Ryker to attack first, and she was prepared to counter his spell. She raised her hands, and a shield of soft, white light erupted around her, protecting her from the flames.

The shield was not just a simple barrier, however. It was also a conduit for Lila's healing magic, and as the flames hit it, they were absorbed and redirected back towards Ryker. The fire magic, now infused with Lila's healing energy, began to repair the damage it had caused, slowly but surely weakening Ryker's own magic.

Ryker stumbled backward, his eyes widening in surprise as he realized what was happening. He tried to cast another spell, but Lila was ready for him. She used her healing magic to drain Ryker's strength, making it harder for him to cast spells and defend himself.

Lila's magic, known as "Restorative Magic" or "Healing Magic", was focused on restoring health and vitality to the caster or their allies. In this case, she used a specific spell called "Vitality Surge" to drain Ryker's strength and gain the upper hand in the battle.

With her magic at the ready, Lila focused all her energy on a single, powerful blast of healing magic. She cast the spell, and a warm, golden light erupted from her hands, striking Ryker with incredible force.

Ryker stumbled backward, his eyes widening in surprise as he realized he was no match for Lila's magic. He tried to cast another spell, but it was too late. Lila's magic had already taken its toll, and Ryker was unable to defend himself.

As the battle reached its climax, Lila landed a critical hit, striking Ryker with a precise blast of magic that sent him stumbling backward. The students cheered and clapped, their voices echoing across the courtyard. Lila had won the battle, her healing magic proving to be the key to her victory.

By using Vitality Surge, Lila was able to gain an advantage over Ryker and ultimately win the battle. Her magic was able to drain Ryker's strength, making it harder for him to cast spells and defend himself, while also restoring her own health and energy.

Instructor Thrain stepped forward, a wide grin spreading across his face. "Excellent work, Lila! Your control and precision are truly impressive. And Ryker, don't worry, you pushed Lila to her limits, you can still try tomorrow ."

Ryker nodded, a hint of disappointment on his face. "Thanks, Instructor Thrain."

Instructor Thrain smiled. "Alright, let's move on to the next match. Kaiden and Eryndor, step forward!"

Kaiden, a average built kid with spiky black hair that was perfectly messy, and Eryndor, a boy with messy brown hair , stepped forward, their piercing blue eyes locked in a fierce stare.

"Remember, students," Instructor Thrain said, "the key to victory is strategy and adaptability. Let's see what you've got!"

As Kaiden and Eryndor faced off, the students' chatter grew louder, their excitement palpable. Lila and Ryker watched with interest, their own battle still fresh in their minds.

"I still can't believe what happened in the cafeteria yesterday," whispered a student behind Lila. "Eryndor's reaction was insane!"

"I know, right?" replied another student. "I was sitting right next to him when it happened. That spell was meant to destroy the entire cafeteria, but Eryndor just raised his hand and... whoosh! The magic just dissipated."

Lila's ears widened, intrigued by the story. She turned to Ryker, who was listening intently to the conversation.

"I was there too," Ryker said, his voice low. "I was getting a sandwich when I saw the spell coming. I thought we were all goners, but Eryndor just... stopped it. Like it was nothing."

Lila's eyes widened. "That's incredible! I've never heard of anyone doing something like that before."

Ryker nodded. "Yeah, it was crazy. The whole cafeteria was in shock. Some people were even crying, they were so scared. But Eryndor just walked out of there like it was no big deal."

The students around them began to chime in, sharing their own versions of the story.

"I heard he didn't even break a sweat," said a student.

"I heard the spell was meant to be a prank, but it got out of control," added another.

As the rumors and speculation swirled around them, Lila couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Eryndor. She had seen him around campus, always keeping to himself, but she had no idea he possessed such incredible power.

Meanwhile, Kaiden and Eryndor remained frozen, their eyes locked in a fierce stare. The air was electric with tension, the students holding their collective breath as they waited for the battle to begin.

Suddenly, Eryndor's eyes flashed with a fierce determination. He raised his hand, and a burst of magical energy erupted from his palm. Kaiden, anticipating the attack, leapt to the side, dodging the spell by mere inches.

The battle had begun, and the students erupted into cheers and applause, eager to see which student would emerge victorious.
