Torment

Team E vs Team G

'So Finral's fighting his brother eh? I wonder how he'll do that?'

Taking his seat next to the wizard king who was stroking a happy look Charmy and a very nervous looking Clover King, Grim rested his head on his hand.

Standing a bit away from him was his new subordinate Nebra Silva. Looking at his figure that was sitting next to the two most influential humans in the whole kingdom, a look of infatuation filled her eyes.

'Master...'

Taking a position at both sides of her, Mimosa and Noelle stood with their silver haired relative. In their eyes, Nebra had just become their number 1 rival. While Grim may not see her as much, who knew how long that would last. If he happened to catch any feelings for her due to the nature of their relationship, it would spell bad news for both girls.

'Leo, Finral and Hamon huh... What an interesting team.'

Smirking to himself, Grim sized up Finral's team.

Leo... A brash but capable junior magic knight that could probably make something of himself in the future if he applied himself a bit more.

Finral... A spatial mage and Grim's most convenient comrade within the Black Bulls. No known offensive abilities but a great support member for any battle.

Hamon... A chubby man and a member of the Golden Dawn. Uses glass magic but is easily defeated on a head on collision.

"Huh?"

Raising his head slightly, he was surprised by Finral taking command of the situation.

Opening a portal that led right to the enemy crystal, Finral sent Leo and Hamon forward to deal with it whilst he protected his crystal from Langris and DEMON LORD SEKKE.

"To think you'd be my natural weakness... How unexpected."

Riding on the back of Sekke's bike, Langris launched various spatial orbs at his brother but was caught off guard when he saw his brother use a similar type spell that cancelled his magic out.

"Heh, everyone's been trying their hardest, I can't allow myself to fall behind." Unleashing his own orbs of spatial magic, Finral really wished that Leo and Hamon would hurry up and win already.

'Seriously! All they have to do is defeat one opponent! What the hell's taking them so long!!'

[Snow Magic: Miniature Garden of Illusionary Snow]

Bathing the area in white snow, the fluffy hat wearing Fragil Tormenta defended her team's crystal from both Leo and Hamon.

"This spell forces your senses to sleep, in here you won't be able to attac-

[Flame Magic: Spiral Flame]

*BANG!!*

Activating mana skin, Leo covered his senses and unleashed a powerful fire spell. It was just a shame that a Fragil fended off his attack with an ice wall.

"What!!" Not expecting her to react to his attack, a look of shock surfaced on Leo's face.

Fragil on the other hand didn't even blink an eye as snow magic started revolving around her figure.

"You're not the only one who's gotten stronger... In order to face him, I won't allow an attack of that level to beat me."

"Face him? Who are you talking about?!"

"Grim." As soon as she said that name, Fragil's magic seemed to go wild as snow blew out everywhere.

*SWOOSH!!*

"WHAT THE HELL!!"

Covering their faces from the wild snow magic, Leo and Hamon tried their hardest to not be blown off their feet.

Creating a miniature snow storm inside such a small area, Fragil's eyes turned ice cold.

"You won't stop me from facing him." After facing defeat and humiliation during Grim's base hoping adventure, Fragil had pushed herself to the limit in order to face him again and make him feel the same kind of fear and torment that he made her feel.

Gritting her teeth, the snow storm started to become more and more violent as she looked at the two magic knights struggling to defend against her magic.

Raising her arm to point at them, her grimoire started shining as it flipped to a different page.

"Revenge eh? This tournament really has everything."

Watching the match from his seat, Grim was smiling at the whole development of the fight between Fragil, Leo and Hamon. Honestly, he had even forgotten about Finral and Langris.

"I wasn't aware that you and miss Tormenta used to be an item." Julius suddenly said out of the blue.

"Huh?" He glanced over at him. "Why would you think that?"

"Well I've only seen that kind of ice cold temperament in married women and girls who've had their hearts broken."

'What kind of women do you know?'

Whilst the two of them conversed about the topic, they were unaware that Mimosa, Noelle and Nebra were eavesdropping behind them.

'Not another rival!'

'What the hell Grim!! What did you do to make her so mad!!'

Remembering everything he had put her through on that day, a cold smile forced its way onto Fragil's face as she started to take a weird sort of pleasure in tormenting Leo and Hamon.

"S-So C-Cold!!"

Caught up in Fragil's avalanche spell, both Leo and Hamon were thrust out of the building and back onto the battlefield. Now everything would have been fine if only that had happened. But for some unknown reason Fragil decided use [Avalanche] again and bury the duo under several feet of snow. And to make matters worse, she seemed to be adding onto it in order to cause Leo to focus on maintaining his mana skin and stop him from using his fire magic to immediately melt the snow.

'She's gonna give them frostbite at this rate... But that's not really my problem.'

"Must have been a nasty breakup." The wizard king whistled.

"Why are you so interested in my love life?" Not that he had one.

"Eh? You're 16, you're at the age when your body starts-

*BOOM!!*

Before the wizard king could finish what he wanted to say, Grim's mana suddenly flared up as his body shot into the distance leaving behind a broken chair and an astonished Wizard King.

'Why is it that you are so loved by that woman?'

'Mother and Father have abandoned you, you should be miserable!'

'There's nothing you can beat me at, so why... WHY ARE YOU STILL ABLE TO SMILE LIKE THAT!!'

Remembering everything that infuriated him about his brother, Langris looked down at his older brother who had several chunks of his body missing and raised his arm into the air.

"Since you can't beat me... Its only right that you should disappear."
