Chapter12: Not Good

Library entrance

'I should get going now' thought Lukas, 'alone preferably '

However, the reality is quite different.

"Hey, Lukas. Let's visit the arena before heading back. We still have a few hours until sunset," Ama said, taking his hand and pulling him along.

Lukas considered for a bit then went along with her as he also wanted to check out the arena.

And now he is being pulled by her. His plan of being alone is ruined.

"Hey, hey, walk faster. Let's go and see how the seniors fight," Ama said, pulling him along.

They have already attracted enough attention. Some of the seniors even laughed at them. He didn't need unwanted attention. He plans to keep a low profile for now until his goal here is completed.

They arrived at the large arena on the other side of the credit center. The arena stood tall against the setting sun, its pillars reaching for the sky and penetrating the clouds.

Lukas was fully aware of what those things were. They collected energy directly from sunlight and moonlight, serving as one of the energy core of the academy.

"There's the entrance, let's go," Ama pointed to the left side where people were entering.

After one last look at the massive pillars, he began walking with Ama pulling him, still tightly gripping his hands.

Lukas walked forward taking the lead.

Ama stopped and finally realized what she'd been doing.

They were holding hands in public! She right away let his hand ago. " I-I... I" She kept trying to say something quickly with a blushing red face .

As she was about to run away in embarrassment, a frim hand grabbed her.

" Hey, stop making this weird for others and Let's go see the arena" Lukas spoke as onlookers kept glancing there way.

Ama looked down and followed him to the arena, it wasn't long before she overcame her embarrassment and her cheerful personality came back.

"Let's go,Let's go,Let's see how mages fight" she spoke before pulling him again.

The arena sprawled like a vast ring ascending towards the sky with tiers of seats. The setting sun cast long shadows across the fields where mages battled one another.Each field had intricate magical boundaries that kept the intense energy contained.

Spectator's cheered and looked at the blue screen Infront of them showing the battle between the ones they wanted to.

Lukas and Ama found a spot in the stands, surrounded by fellow onlookers eagerly observing the battles. The blue screen popped up from the seat's.

Featuring twelve battles across twelve battle grounds. All of the screens started playing the battles at the same time. And observing one of the person who was picking the battle. He got the gist of it how to use it.

Tapping on the blue screen makes the choosen battle bigger. Seeing so many variations of elements of clashing with each other. He was excited.

Ama also couldn't contain her enthusiasm. "Look, Lukas! Did you see how he controlled the fire? It's incredible!"

Lukas looked at that screen. A fight was showing between two girls. Spells clashed with each other.

" Fire vs Sand " Lukas muttered looking at the rapid spells the girl was casting, melting the sand.

And then from the corner of his eyes he noticed another fight!

Lila 3rd year students and another named Kaheed another 2nd year student.

Seeing the elements they were using to fight. Lukas right away located the actual location the fight was taking place. It was at corner of the arena. On the left side of them.

He was very interested in the fight. As one of the student was using the trait he has! " Telekinesis with Metal element. A deadly combination.It was the girl with thick black hair.

And her opponent was, Lightning and ice user. It was the arrogant looking handsome dude with deep white hair named Kaheed.

Looking how the ground was. He realized the battle just started.

Lila was holding a strange looking cross bows on her hand and a weird looking sheild on her hand.

From the middle of the sheild a small green orb was peaking out from the engraved face of the lion.

On the other hand,the dude was holding a long black saber with chains wrapped around his hand. And he was holding somekind of ball held securely by the black gloves warped around his whole hand.

Battle started rather instantly. Lilas' sheild glowed for a second, Before she smashed the sheild with great streanth.

Making the ground crumble to pieces before using her telekinesis to shoot the debris towards the target and dashing towards him using Acceleration.

Kaheed was prepared for her charge.

His black orb glowed for a moment before a magic circle blinked in front of it increasing his speed. With lightning wrapped around his feet, he retreated a step before dashing towards her sheild with sabar covered in ice esscence.

" Clink"

Sparks flow everywhere as the sheild and the saber clashed. Kaheed didn't waste this opportunity.

Pointing his palm at her legs,he shot an ice bolt . As if Lila sensed it already she jumped up letting go her sheild.

Using the Modified spring boots she jumped above him and launched 3 metal arrows towards his back,increasing the speed with telekinesis.

Kaheed, with his quick reaction,lifted his sabar before slashing at her launching a slash of energy,destroying the arrows.

But at that very moment,time seemed slow,as he noticed the smirk on her face.

Sensing the spell forming from the floating sheild, realization struck him.

Another spike formed on the sheild.

While using her telekinesis,the floating sheild lunged forward.

Kaheed's eyes widened, gritting his teeth he prepared himself for the impact and tried to form a sheild of ice.

But it was already too late. The sheild slammed on his blade.The impact sent shockwaves through the arena, catching the attention of nearby spectators.

Kaheed was sent flying,crashing at the protective sheild of the of the feild.

He spat out mouthful of blood and looked at the black haired girl gracefully landing in front of him. Pointing her cross bows towards him her sheild slowly floated towards her hand,before regaining its orginal place.

He looked at his hands trembling from the impact.

" I lost." With a sigh, he acknowledged.

Before disappearing from the stage, Lila smiled rubbing her beautiful shield before also disappearing from the ground. Replacing another duo of students.
