Tournament Day 1.25

[ this focuses on the Raymond's match for the same day ]

--

The crowd was still high on adrenaline as the first match just ended. People were still talking how Autumn made magic into such a beautiful thing. Unanimously, they gave her the name Flying Sparks. The ability to make sparks fly was no small feat.

Autumn quickly went towards her locker and changes faster than ever. She quickly casted the same teleportation spell. This time the circle was a bit more gray as compared to last time.

Not caring about it, she teleports herself to the stands. There laid 2 chairs, one for the Queen and one for the King. She looked at the name plate on her chair. The name read Lilia.

'I'm nothing but a pathetic and bloodied lily. Nothing more nothing less.' Lilia broke the name plate out of the chair and burnt it. When she confirmed she has burned it into ashes, she sat down and spectated the match.

Raymond was taking on another opponent. The opponent strided in with confidence as he was sure to beat Raymond. Raymond let out his signature grin and uncuffed the links on his battle uniform. The crowd once silenced again as the two of them took their places.

The gun sounded through the quiet arena, signalling the start. Both opponents stood still, trading blows in their minds. The opponent made their move first.

"Gatekeeper of the shadows! Release the monsters!" A purple gate rose from the ground with a menacing aura. The grim reaper appeared and slashed the lock on the gate. The gate smashed open, revealing hideous monsters.

Cerebus, Leviathan and all were present. They all turned their head towards Raymond and let out a large roar. Following their master's order, they charged towards him, not giving any time for Raymond to counter attack.

The monsters surrounded Raymond from all sides, ready to attack. They spat out different kinds of things, fire, water and even lightning. Raymond just stood there as all the beams were fired.

"Oh no, Raymond didn't stand a chance!" One of the spectators exclaimed. The beams created a huge amount of dust, blocking the view of what happened. As the dust cleared out, there's something in the middle.

"Could it be? Is he still alive?" The dust cleared up, revealing Raymond and something white covered his whole body. He let's out a smirk before muttering.

"Magic coating." That's when everything clicked together. The reason why Raymond came on with his cape was that the magic coating was on it. Clever bum. Taking out his wand, he shot a lightning bolt to propel his body into the air.

"Cages of electric!" He said and casted the spell towards all of the monsters. Webs of electric shot from his wand, encasing all the monsters. From my view, I could see the monsters would burn upon the touching of the cage.

The opponent let out a 'tch' as he tried calling them back. "Gatekeeper call them back!" The reaper swung it's scythe, but nothing worked. A deep voice rung throughout the battlefield.

"Nothing gets through my electric cages. Now that this magic is taking up your stamina, it's a perfect time for me to finish you off wouldn't it?" The opponent then realised where he went wrong. He has let the battle go on for too long and his fatigue was at his peak.

"Ball of lightning." Raymond slowly raised his wand up and aimed at him. The ball shot with extreme speed, leaving no room for dodging. It hit him straight on and sent it straight to the ground.

"I am going have to surrender." Raymond smiled and held him up before leaving the arena. He went back into the entrance and I felt a presence next to me. My hand hovered over my dagger and faced the sharp edge towards that someone.

"Wow my Queen is feisty isn't she? Calm down, it's your loved one."

"Bull crap. I never considered you as a loved one." I placed my dagger back into it's slot before sitting back. I sat in my chair with confidence as Raymond does too.

"So who do you think is going to win this tournament?"

"Me of course." I slapped my head interally as he boosts his own self-ego.

"Though, there are many good opponents this time round. You didn't even get a scratch from that."

"What can I say? I can't disappoint my Queen if she's watching." My hand threw a small fireball by instinct. With his magic skills, he manipulated that ball and turned it into thin air.

"You are a bum." I pouted a bit and relaxed in my seat. I was sitting in a way befitting the title of Queen. Naturally, people's eyes were on us. Some were even taking pictures.

"My Queen, smile for the cameras."

"I refuse to. There's no use showing a smile for the fake." He sighs and threw a lightning ball at me. With ease, I manipulated it and threw it back at his direction.

"Now please do welcome Layla and Tina! What kind of magic will these two lovely ladies show us? Sit back and enjoy the magic show!"

The two ladies came from the entrances, each giving a bow to both the audience and themselves. They took their stances and engaged in battle once the gun sounded. I let out a small smile. A light magic user against water magic user. The show ought to be an exciting one.
