C40

"Are you sure about this brother?" Arthur asked as he looked into Oliver's eyes seriously.

Oliver nods as he is ready with his nonchalant stance as his gaze lock onto Lucas.

After Professor Glory finished explaining the rules of the battle, the battle was to commence.

Everyone goes to their assigned targets as Arthur and Oliver didn't move from their previous spot.

Lucas look at his first opponent wearing a blindfold, he disdained and look at Arthur and mockingly say "You two can fight me at the same time since it didn't matter".

Arthur didn't reject the offer as he's willing to teach this brat a lesson but he hold himself first and would only help if Oliver needs it.

Lucas didn't continue talking as he approach Oliver, who had been in a trance. He points his staff at Oliver and fired 3 Flaming Orbs hurling in his opponent's direction.

Oliver glance at the tree and moved, barely dodging the Flaming Orbs. Oliver didn't even look at Lucas as he approached a tree.

Looking at Oliver dodging Lucas attacks impressed the spectators and participants. They begin to view him in a different light. Professor Glory and Arthur were the most confused in all of them.

They sense an unnoticeable change that the Flaming Orb was swiped away by wind since it starts approaching Oliver. They didn't think of it if this is a coincidence but they started to focus on Oliver who is breaking a branch making it his weapon or some sort.

"I'm practising an Element so please guide me Lucas-chan." Oliver said as his surrounding body change, no longer strange.

Lucas was annoyed as he chant multiple Flaming Orbs above Oliver.

Oliver started to sprint in Lucas's direction as all of the Flaming Orbs rain down at him in every direction. He barely dodges every Orbs as he slashes at it in one hand.

Because of his Physical reaction, some of the Orbs graze at him as they revealed slightly burnt skin. Oliver didn't flinch as he swing his stick dissipating the Orbs.

Seeing this, Arthur was holding his ground since Oliver decided it, he also observed his teammates fighting as Tessia barely tied fighting Curtis with his Companion Beast.

'Barely tied but why is he using a stick as its sword? I thought he was a conjurer? Making Lucas as a Sparring Partner would make Lucas even angrier.' Professor Glory thought as she was also impressed of Oliver that his control of Wind Element was at Master. She was now satisfied that Oliver cleared her confusion earlier.

As the fight continued for seconds, Oliver was still dodging the Orbs as wounds appeared around his body.

Lucas watched this as he's beginning to get annoyed and increased his attack momentum. 'I'm going to kill this brat.'

'Not good.' Arthur thought as he dashed to help Oliver and deflecting some flaming orbs.

"Let me join too, brother."

"Your choice then, Art."

The two brothers join together to take down Lucas.

"𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒐 𝑪𝒂𝒈𝒆" Lucas chanted as the three of them was inside a dome of fire, giving the two brothers more difficulty of moving.

Arthur and Oliver were having difficulty leaving the dome especially Arthur. Though they didn't retreat as it challenge them to breakthrough if cornered.

Oliver stayed calm even in this situation as he controlled the terrifying Fire with Air to around his body. He treated this as a practice since he was always prioritising the control of his Eyes first, leaving the other elements at a basic level.

Sensing Oliver using the Wind element, Arthur was given a hint as he mimicked Oliver and it extinguishes when fire approach him. He glances at Oliver and smiled at how calm he is.

The two brothers began to approach Lucas who's Eyes were wide, completely shock at how these two can walk casually. Lucas also attack simultaneously with Flaming orbs although it was ineffective to them, making him panic.

Thankfully Lucas was saved from Arthur's grudge as he had been ignored and looked the other way.

'What's that? Tessia? Curtis? Why isn't she dodging?' Arthur thought as he looked over outside the Flame Domain, seeing Professor Glory rushing in that direction in slow motion.

While Arthur thought he didn't notice that Multiple Flaming Spears and Humanoid Fire approach him.

'So he changed already. I'm impressed that he has this power controlled by this point. Welp, I think Tessia want to awaken her Beast Will in the Blast incoming at her though it failed.' Oliver thought as everything around him was in a Pause.

'Well since Arthur want to save her I can't let attacks approach him. Let's do the Inuyashiki Gun Style.' Oliver thought as he moved his Hand Gun Sign in a slow state while Arthur was beginning to slightly move.

𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆 Oliver spoke in a low voice while pointing at the humanoid flame and flaming spear.

The edge of his Hand Gun produces a terrifying Airflow as it extinguished the heat when it travels and burst as the humanoid flame staggered and slowly being put out.

Arthur didn't notice it as he prioritize saving Tessia and minimizing the damage of the power Curtis Beast send. By the time it's done he purposely got hit sending him flying along with Tessia in his arms.

'Huh? What happened?' All of the spectators along with Professor Glory and Lucas thought when a small boom sounded. The spectators anticipated that Tessia will be gravely injured as she didn't do anything. But they were calmed now since nothing happened though they see a boy covering her too.

Professor Glory was the most worried as she hurriedly stop the Battle and Check the situation of Arthur and Tessia while hurriedly approaching steps sounded.

"Ah! I'm injured!" a loud shout that nearly hurts the ears of every student as they looked where it came from and were shocked that it was Lucas who was clutching his Leg tightly with his crying eyes.
