Competition

" Alright groups we are going to have the competition today. And it's mainly going to be a fighting tournament."

Gerald stood in front of his class in his pure white robes and spoke with a smile.

He looked around the class and nodded seeing his excited reactions of most students, however his gaze landed on Silver a few seconds more.

" All right, group leaders of the three groups should stand to their feet and introduce themselves." Gerald said.

" My name is Lin Chen, I'm the group leader for group 1." An Asian guy with short hair and a proud expression stood up and spoke. He was the group leader of the all boys group.

" Hi everyone, I'm Rachel." The leader for the a girls group also stood up and bowed.

Soon it was time for Silver's group leader to introduce him/herself, however after a few seconds of waiting, no one stood up.

Samael wore a bored expression on his face, clearly uninterested. Moon was as cold as ever, but she showed no interest in being group leader, while Silver was absorbed in his own world, completely zoned out.

" Since none of you want to be group leader, I'll choose myself. " Gerald smiled craftily. " Silver hair, you lead the team." He spoke swiftly leaving no room for discussion.

" Why him?" Samael grunted in frustration. He had not forgotten the embarrassment Silver put him through.

Moon on the other hand smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

...

" Okay, now group leaders, it's time to ballot for your group. There are three cards in there, numbered 1-3. The groups who pick 1 and 2 would battle in the first round and loser would face the last group. So choose wisely."

Gerald spoke casually, and waved his hand, before a golden box appeared with three black cards in them.

All group leaders stood at the front as they prepared to choose a number.

" Sigh. What a waste of time." Seeing as the other leaders were hesitant, Silver sighed and picked up a card. He then walked away and showed it to Gerald who was surprised a bit.

" We're fighting in the first round. I chose number 1." Silver looked at Moon and Samael, and spoke before taking his seat, while both of them sighed.

.....

" Okay, Group 2 would face off against group 3 in the first round. Get prepared, the round begins in an hour." Gerald immediately teleported them to an arena already filled with an audience.

Group 2 members immediately rendezvoused and began planning as they stole glances at Silver and his team.

" Hey, aren't we going to plan or anything?" Samael looked at the relaxed expression on the faces of Silver and Moon before asking confused.

" Why do we need to plan against a bunch of weaklings?" Moon answered before even Silver could speak.

" Overconfident. " Silver only spoke one word, which caused the rest to look at him.

" What if I told you that, Group 2 members have about a 75% chance of beating us." He spoke again.

" What are you talking about?" " That's impossible!" They exclaimed in shock.

" The group leader of that group is a peak level 3 Arcanist, and the worst part is, I'm pretty sure she is clearly aware of all of her members' capabilities, which gives them a complete advantage over us." He said.

" However, that won't do them much good." He smiled. " Why not?" Samael them asked, his attention fully on Silver.

" Because you have me." Silver answered with a shrug. " The group leader is strong, but strength is everything, if both of you go all out on her with enough tricks and tactics, it should be enough to handle her, while I knock out the other two members." He spoke once more, smiling confidently.

" What tactics, do you have in mind? " Moon asked as Silver gave a small mysterious smile.

.......

" Good afternoon everyone. It's time for the class class competition to begin. Please sit back and enjoy." Gerald spoke briefly, as he made eye contact with two middle aged men and a young woman sitting in a secluded area away from the audience.

" For the first match up, we have group 2 vs group 3." He spoke and teleported from the stage, as all six fighters appeared on the arena ready to battle.

The group 2 members stood confidently. Their group leader Rachel held a long sword and shield in her hand as she stood proudly like an Amazon, while eyeing Silver ferociously. Meanwhile Silver's group stood unfazed by their ferocious looks.

" Ting!!!" The bell immediately sounded, causing the audience to completely focus on the match.

" Attack!!!" Rachel from Group 2 immediately let out a war cry as her arcana tattoo lit up on her neck. " Talia now!!!" Her group memebrr standing to her right immediately called out to the one on her left.

The girl, addressed as Talia immediately transformed. Her eyes and hair turned blue as she levitated, surrounded by a stream of water.

The other girl also clenched her fists, before flames burst out of her body.

" Swoosh!!" With a loud cry, they rushed towards Silver's group at fast speeds.

" Okay!!!" Samael smiled and took a step forward and opened his arms. " Boom!!!" Golden light burst out of his body, causing shockwaves to erupt. Two long golden feathery wings burst out of his back, before a golden sword covered in flames materialized in his palm.

Moon eyed Silver who still stood unconcerned with his hands in the pocket of his jacket, before taking a step forward.

In a flash, pitch black darkness covered her entire body, as shadows began to twist with a wiggle of her fingers.

" Boom!!" They both short forward, at even greater speeds, bypassed the two girls.

" Haaarghh!!" Samael after bypassing the two girls immediately shot to the the sky and let his body fall at great velocity as he let out a slash from his sword. A large crescent slash covered in golden flames immediately burst out slashed towards Rachel who immediately steadied herself.

Seeing her distracted by the Samael's move, Moon immediately formed a hand seal, causing countless chains of darkness to burst out of her back and which also swept towards her.

" Boom!!!!" Rachel let go of her sword and smashed her right forearm, covered in a golden arm guard unto the shield which caused a large golden shockwave of energy to spread out. All of the attacks clashed, causing a large shockwave which completely surprised the audience.

" Go!!" Meanwhile the other two girls seeing their leader was occupied immediately focused their attention on Silver who was still standing there unconcerned.

In fact if he wanted, he could stop this fight in one attack, however he would cause damage

himself in that process.

" Boom!!!" Talia, the blue haired lady immediately shot forward, and stretched her hand forward. Soon water molecules in the atmosphere began to gather and coalesced into blades before completely freezing and hardening. They then shot towards Silver, while freezing the air around.

The other girl raised her hands upwards, before a large fireball materialized and smashed towards him as well.

" What is he doing? " Isn't he going to react?" The audience burst out in uproar as they saw Silver's nonchalant response to their attacks.

Even Gerald and the three VIPs beside him looked on with interest.

" Are you sure he's the one Gerald. He's a bit mysterious. Let's see what he can do." One old man muttered beside Gerald who only nodded.

" Sigh." Silver sighed and raised his hand towards his left eye and pulled off the blindfold covering it, revealing a sparkling silver gem like pupil, before a small shockwave erupted around him.

With a glance, motes of mana began to gather, and the huge fireball attempting to completely decimate him immediately vanished into thin air, leaving everyone completely and utterly speechless.
