CHAPTER 70 – QUARTERFINALS: MAGIC GENIUS

It was the third day of the tournament and it was reserved for the quarterfinals and semifinals. Since there were fewer matches to be held today everything would start at a later hour which meant that I had some time to relax.

The pairings were done last night and since I was paired with Nakamura-kun, I was wondering if I should use magic or not, but I definitely decided not to use Disrupt. It was really too unfair to Nakamura-kun, since he is a pure mage and this tournament is meant for fun.

Another interesting pairing is Earl Orzak against Hii-chan. Both of them are strong fighters and have many fans in the audience, so the battle should be quite interesting. From the betting odds, the favourites to pass were the Crown Prince, Earl Orzak, Nakamura-kun and Ishikawa-kun. Although the odds weren’t too much against Hii-chan and me, we were considered weaker nonetheless.

“Nao-chan I see you arrived already. Are you nervous? I must say facing against Earl Orzak is nerve wrecking. He is like the Yellow Flash, I feel like I will have to go all out just to land a single blow on him.”

“Good luck Hii-chan, your match is the second in a row, right? I’ll be cheering for you. Sadly, we are not allowed to watch the quarterfinal matches. Just do your best, I’m sure Inoue-san will be cheering for you, so don’t fail miserably.”

“Bleh… don’t put more pressure on me!”

His reaction was really silly. Maybe, if I hadn’t experienced countless duels inside the game, I would also feel nervous, but right now I feel completely relaxed and composed. We remained in the waiting room until we all gathered. My match which was first in line was scheduled to start at three o’clock.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to this tournament. Today we have six magnificent battles for you to witness. The winners today will face off tomorrow in the grand finale.”

The crowd was loud, it seems that there was a lot of people gathered today, Since I had the luck to always go first every day, I never had such a crowd watching. Well it’s not like any of that matters. Once on the field, it will all become unimportant.

“Maeda-san, we should prepare. They will call us out soon.”

“Very well, let’s have a good match Nakamura-kun.”

The announcer kept on talking to the audience entertaining them. During this time I closed my eyes and concentrated. I was determined to fight him as a magician and not a swordsman, but Dark Magic will not be as effective on him. I will have to think of a really good way to deal with him.

I had thought about using Hell Butterfly, but lately she seemed super busy with something. Everytime I called her she would only stay for a short while saying there was too much work to do and she can’t skip on her duties. Well she is a divine beast, I guess there is stuff she must do from time to time.

“And now please welcome our competitors; a girl that against all odds have triumphed over all her opponents. A dark horse in this competition, the Elemental Empress, Viscountess, Naoko Maeda.”

A wave of loud cheers erupted from the stands. Entering the field holding my head high, I walked to the center of the stage and greeted the audience.

“Her opponent is the one named Magic Genius with talent in all five major elements. He is our very own Hero of Syrina, the tall and handsome Daisuke Nakamura.”

When he appeared the sheer amount of girls screaming had me baffled. For a moment I thought I was at a concert of some idols.

“Now, the two of you; rules remain the same. You have thirty minutes to gain advantage and defeat your opponent. No lethal attacks are allowed. Please proceed with caution and don’t start before I give the signal. Understood?”

“Loud and clear!”

“Understood!”

“Maeda-san, this will not be like the last time. I will show you the prowess of the one chosen by the great Syrina-sama. For someone with two officially recognized elements, you are not worthy to hold the title Elemental Empress.”

Oh, that was a good provocation. He seems to have grown stronger and bolder in the past few months. Much better than what he looked like last time we fought. It makes me show my chuuni side

“Come, I’ll show you that no matter magic or might, I will remain undefeated. As the one holding Calamity of Crown Colosseum title, I will defeat you. Prepare yourself, I will teach you today that you are hundred years too early to defeat me.”

“In that case, let’s do this in a simple manner; your strongest magic against mine. The winner passes the loser forfeits. Simple and straight. After all, you did say you will not lose, be it magic or might.”

Hoo, interesting offer. He knows he can’t defeat me if I engage him in direct battle, so he laid this trap for me the moment he decided to provoke me.

“Good, I’ll take up on your offer. Let’s end this with a bang!”

***ERIK’S POV***

The tournament was going perfectly, not only are the people distracted from the betrayal, but we can also show the might of royalty. Vitou has been winning easily all his matches and with him being so popular makes doing things like this even easier.

Now the only problem is the young Naoko-chan. Her performance is above all so far, but I still have a feeling she isn’t going all out. Mainly, she still didn’t use her magic, at least not on the scale that I know she can. Even Earl Orzak said she was just playing around in this tournament.

This is why I told Nakamura-kun to make her show her magic to the best she could. I didn’t think she would accept his proposal so easily. Nakamura-kun is by far the strongest magician under my care. If he can counter her magic with his own then I will have a way of controlling her, since it seems the marriage with Vitou is bound to fail at all costs.

Now let’s watch and see the outcome.
