Chapter 9: Sumary Festival- Day 3 - The fierce semi-final match

Today was the last day of the Sumary festival. For me, today there are only 2 final matches of the KOTBC tournament that will "end" the day and I will go to my room to rest, rather than sleep, because I can't think of it, so What to do next day.

-This Mika.

-What's up?

- What the hell are you doing here? I thought you must look after the stall now.

—I left that to Rin and Yumi. That's why I have time to cheer for these two men.

-That kid needs a bit like a cheerleader, she should be some pretty little sister.

-Huh!? This pervert bastardyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!

-Pain ... Painuuuu !!! - Kaito screamed when Mika suddenly fell down and almost broke his arm.

- Anyway, we're happy that you're all cheering like this. - I said interjecting to make Mika cool down.

-Hihi! You're too talkative, not like this guy.

-Hello everyone! Are everyone ready for the semi-finals !?

-Already!!!!

-So the following would like to invite the two teams in the first semi-finals to step onto the field. Team Kazuto and Kaito of class 1-A, they were the first first team to reach the semi-finals after defeating their seniors, whether they will move on and make history as the first first-year team to win the tournament. KOTBC match or will fail before the "monster" team Ryukei and Watabe of 2-E class. Let's wait and see.

We stepped onto the stage like yesterday, but today was a bit different, the number of people came to watch and this time besides the classmates, the people cheered for us, making me feel Feeling nervous like the first match. Kaito seems to be the same as me because I see him sweating a lot, even though it was made by the 2-B teacher Chirika and the magician of the water barrier who made this place cooler.

-First mention to all players that from the semi-finals onwards will be more than just simple stone pillars and anyone who falls to the floor will be excluded from the game. And now the first semifinal round of the K.O.T.B.C tournament begins.

As soon as Akino interrupted, the stone pillars began to appear. We jumped on one nearby. As soon as they jumped, the opponent used water magic to create sharp icicles shooting at us, fortunately a wind trap right there just activated causing them to change direction.

-The 2-E team just had their first surprise attack in the match, but thanks to the wind trap, the 1-A team was safe.

-Well!

-No problem! Calm Gyukei, we are just getting started.

- Yes, I know.

With my experience, I also responded with my fireball, but the other team also had an earth type so it was easy to set up a wall.

As soon as we set foot on the second pillar, suddenly the ice trap immediately activated, and the pillar became an icicle. Then both Kaito and I slipped and almost fell, but with my previous experience, I immediately cast a small explosion below to push myself up and cling. Stone columns nearby. And Kaito created a stone floor stabbed into an icicle and held him there despite being very precarious. As Kaito approached us, the speed of the pillars increased and obscured our view of the opposing team.

-Dammit! If this keeps up, we won't have any information on the other team. Kazuto! You blow the ball here, Kaito said

-I think there's no need. If they stay like that, they won't have information about us and they won't attack us either.

-If that's the case ... at least use your magic to jump higher than the stone pillars, maybe we'll know their location.

- Understand! - After I said that, I jumped up but it was strange that no one was seen on the other side "maybe they were in a hidden place" - I thought to myself.

-Kaito! I don't see .....

- Found it! - Someone suddenly jumped out from the place where the pillars were hidden with a satisfied smile, it was Gyukei.

Gyukei then punched me once, causing me to fall and using magic to create a runway and sliding on it towards me.

-Kazuto!

-Let me go first, kid! - Soon after Watabe tried to punch Kaito but he dodged it.

But the true intention of the two of them was not merely to rush out to attack us unexpectedly. As soon as they separated us, they all used magic to create a small "arena" that kept us there with them. It seems like they're going to take us down here instead of trying to be the first team to win the ball.

-Here it is!!! The "death arena" of Gyukei and Watabe we all expected has appeared! I wonder what will happen there?- Akino commented

Meanwhile, as soon as I regained consciousness and punched it, I saw Gyukei standing in front of me and chanting a spell to create a short sword of ice.

-If I am not mistaken, you are still not allowed to learn this spell right now. So ...- Gyukei pointed the sword towards me -... if you don't want to have some stains on your body then surrender.

-Sorry. But it's not easy to give up here.

-Flash! Well then ..... Die!

On the other side, Kaito and Watabe were both fighting very violently and it made the surrounding area tremble.

-That's interesting! He is about to lose like you and still be able to laugh.

-Yes! Thanks for the compliment, but the "kid" who is about to lose is you, gorilla.

-What!? Who do you call gorilla? I'll beat you to death!

-OK! Come on in!

The tremor from their equal battle spread to me.

-Huh! It's been a while. It seems that you and your friend are not bad.

-Thank you! Because we have no intention of losing .-- despite saying that but with the slash filled with me, I can hardly hold out for long

"Maybe I have to use it" - I thought to myself

Immediately after I chanted the magic to create my sword.

-Are you kidding !? How did you learn first year magic !?

-Sorry for having to disappoint your brother. But this guy just naturally made it.

-Flash! It doesn't matter because it doesn't change anything.

-Really? So let's see who won.

Immediately after, Gyukei rushed in, and I was able to see the same opening as before. Every time he charged, he held the short sword upside down with his left hand and his right hand chanted a spell to prepare to shoot a sharp ice stake as soon as his left hand had just slashed to force me to dodge and it was difficult to avoid that shot. But with repetitive movements almost like that, all you need to do is not get hit if you can counterattack. The moment I blocked Gyukei's slash, I stepped forward and used the hilt of the sword to slam Gyukei's chest, causing him to step back and miss a beat so I couldn't use magic. Immediately after, I turned my sword and slashed it at Gyukei's chest. Then he jumped back, touched his bleeding wound with his hand and smirked.

-Hey! Do you know the rules of the tournament? The rule is that if a player on one team causes serious damage to another person on that team then that team will immediately lose and lose the right to play. But ... if I do it like an accident then it doesn't matter .... right !! - he said and laughed with a creepy voice that made me feel chilled to dare to say 1 word

Just when I was still flinching, I didn't dare rush forward because of Gyukei's words, he finished chanting the spell and created an ice area around my feet that made me unable to move.

-Hahaha! Nothing is already afraid of pale And now look at you, can only stand there obediently like a dog.

-Drr ... real! - Perhaps because of the cold due to the ice under my feet, my throat stiffened

-Yes! Just keep whining. And now I'm going to make this place split open and fall down. Don't worry, you won't die, instead you'll just break a few bones and be disabled all your life. I will definitely enjoy it, so .....- he punched me hard in the stomach then brought me close to my ear- eh ..... bye!

Then he snapped his fingers once, the whole "arena" split in half and began to fall.

-OMG! What is that !? Both Gyukei's "arena" is collapsing, what just happened? Look! Guykei managed to jump to a nearby stone pillar safely. And where is Kazuto? Or is he still stuck there? - Akino commented

Meanwhile, I tried to smash the ice around my leg with my sword but it didn't work, I couldn't use the magic to make this place explode because it would either hurt me or transfer heat to the ice. Let it melt because it's so slow.

-Dammit! Will everything end here?

While I was focusing negative thoughts on myself, I broke and vanished the sword at a bad time. For some reason, the instant I saw the sword disappear, I immediately intended to let go. But right after that, it was Kaito who pulled me away from himself.

-Kazuto! "How long are you going to sleep there?" Kaito shouted as he descended from above

With his arm wrapped in magic stones, Kaito easily smashed the ice sheet around my feet.

-Right now!

I immediately understood what he meant, I grabbed one of Kaito's necks with one hand, while chanting my magic spell with the other hand, creating a huge explosion that pushed us upwards.

Ouch! Do you really have to grab that !? "Kaito complained as soon as we landed on a stone pillar

-Sorry! Because I was in a hurry.

-Anything is fine. What happened?

-I was completely overwhelmed by Gyukei and left free. How about you?

"Clown!" Kaito laughed softly, seemingly in a good mood. "I stuck that gorilla up because of the walls he built himself." Such a big name without a brain.

-Really! So we take the opportunity to cut the two of them in half so hurry to get the ball.

-Yes! Go!

- You won't go anywhere! - Soon after running a short distance, we were suddenly attacked with ice piles shot from a hidden corner, but luckily dodged - you annoyed me. very much already.

Coming out from the corner is Gyukei.

-Hey! Where is Watabe?

-Bear! Probably exhausted somewhere due to breaking the wall.

-Well! Always let me do everything.

Saying so, he immediately used both hands to cast magic to shoot the ice pile towards us, but with Kaito's stone wall, we were safe.

-Kaito, how big of a rock wall can you make?

-Enough enough to crush the "arena" of that gorilla if falling.

-OK! If you do that, I'll run around behind Gyukei.

-The problem is that I almost used all my strength when fighting the gorilla.

-Huh!?

-Hey! Who let you discuss the plan? - Gyukei increasingly increased the power of the ice pile and Kaito's wall gradually cracked.

-So I will ... Ugh! - because I put all my strength into using magic to fly up here and smash the ice when my hands were cold, my hands have become extremely painful.

-What happen?

-I'm also at my limit.

-Huh! Gyukei said, seemingly very satisfied- It's true that there's no need for that gorilla to win this tournament. I am the strongest! Die!

{Whip} Someone smacked Gyukei's neck, causing him to fall and faint, which is Watabe.

-The crime of telling me is this gorilla. -He carried Gyukei on his shoulder and said- This time for you guys to win.

Watabe then jumped down from the ring and conceded defeat.

-The team ... of class 1-A team won!
