SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

The angelic beaty who stopped Kt is Lucy. With a vision of grace in her lavder dress, the fabric flows elegantly a her. Her eyes lit up as her hand met Kt's, excitemt shining in her eyes.

She had a magnetic presce, drawing people in with her warmth and charm. Lucy's beauty wasn't just in her appearance, but in the way she carried herself, making every momt feel special.

"I just came to see the tournamt and never expected to meet you here." Lucy replied, smiling happily, without leaving his hand.

"You really came on time." Kt said, ignoring the onlookers who were staring at them with wide, op eyes.

Words flowed betwe them as they talked nonstop. On one side, Fatty stood with tsion as Kt name called in the ara.

"Master, it's time for the competition." Fatty interrupted Kt, who is happily chatting with Lucy while showing the Fire Kirin to her.

Kt glared at Fatty and continued to speak with Lucy at a leisurely pace.

"Kt, it seems you need to go now." Lucy uttered as Kt's name came loudly from the ara.

"Yes, young master. Please hurry. Otherwise, Mia will be declared the winner, and I will be hanged for coins." Fatty, tugging at Kt's hand, spoke in a weak tone, almost dragging Kt away from Lucy.

As Kt still holding Lucy's hand, she also got dragged forward, almost pressing against Kt.

;-P

While Fatty walking in the front, Kt and Lucy hurried forward, walking side by side. As their eyes met, Lucy blushed and hurriedly looked away.

"Take care of my pet until I come back." Kt said to Lucy, who stood at the edge of the ara. Waving a good-bye, Kt stepped inside the ara. Fatty sighed in relief as Kt walked towards the fighting ring.

With a cheerful smile, Lucy showed a best of luck gesture, hiding her smile with her other hand. She is blushing as Kt is walking backward while taking a glimpse of her. But what Lucy didn't observe was.... Thea, who stood in one corner, eyeing Lucy with a death stare.

Many of the disciples' atttion turned towards Lucy, who came in support of Kt. Very few of them, recognized her as the owners of Gray Family Pet Store.

Thea's gaze lingered on Lucy's attire. "Who is she? Is she the owner of that Fire Kirin? Why is she helping Kt? Did Kt fall in her wealth trap?" Several questions were raised in Thea's brain as she believed Lucy to be Kt's backer.

On the ara, Mia Snow stood confidtly while holding her folding fan. As Kt came to a stop in his position, he took out the Victor bow and stared at Mia with a taunting look.

From the gallery, Zumi is recording the fight. All the disciples were chanting Mia's name as she is the crowd favorite, defding champion, and pride of Sky Family Magus School.

The fan boys of Mia were releasing fireworks into the sky with her name. "Thrash him, beat him, stomp his face, show the might of folding fan." Loud shouts filled the ara as disciples who lost their coins because of Kt shouted in fury.

Elder Sinara leaned forward as she finally got ready to see the skills of Mia, for whom she traveled hundreds of miles. Anticipation of a big fight lay in everyone's face, and almost everyone thought Mia is going to beat Kt in fair and square.

The tire Snow family, along with Mia's mother, stood close to Ara with proud smiles.

"You may begin." Master Ch gave the command, retreating back to the edge of the ara.

Unlike previous opponts, Mia is not a static Maga. Like a fleeing butterfly, Mia flew back, raising a few feet in the air and unfolding her hand fan, ready to cast the spell.

Usually, people won't practice movemt technique as they need to focus on spell casting and always balance the flow of aura in the movemt technique. Only people with immse focus will choose to fight while moving.

But in high-grade Magus schools, better movemt technique scrolls were available, and almost all disciples fought while changing their position with a movemt technique.

"Thank God, she is not a sitting duck." Zumi muttered while focusing on Kt, who is drawing the bow string.

"Mohita Pavana Ghuma" [Enchanted Zephyr Whirlwind]

With Mia's chantmt, a calm whirlwind formed and rushed towards Kt. The whirlwind obstructed Kt's view of Mia as she changed her position and moved close to Kt.

Kt, who never had any experice of fighting a moving oppont, chose defse as the primary tool and unleashed the Void Breaker arrow.

Kt didn't have time to relax as Mia st another variation of Blizzard, changing her position again and reducing the distance betwe them.

"Vaccus Dissolvo Impetum" [Void Breaker Arrow]

Kt's hands continued to tweak the bow string as he released streaks of flickering Void breaker arrows. Ev though Kt stood like a sitting duck, he is thinking of alternate plans to fight back.

"Yah…" Loud cheering continued as the Arora glass displayed Kt, sured by blizzards, and Mia is just feet away from Kt.

"Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…"

All the blizzards disappeared one after another, fading into the thin air. Just as the last blizzard vanished, Mia, who hid behind it, smiled victoriously before releasing her powerful attack.

"Dahana Padma Aavahan" [Burning Lotus Invocation]

As she stretched her folding fan with a loud incantation, a fiery lotus formed, rushing towards Kt. The size of the Lotus increased with each passing momt. The distance is only feet, and Kt didn't have the time to respond, as Mia purposely reduced the distance betwe them for a surprise attack.

With stupefied faces, everyone is staring at the burning Lotus, and a few elders have already begun running to save Kt.

With gritted teeth, Kt leaned back and pulled his right hand into a tight fist. With an angry roar, Kt punched the incoming Fire Lotus.

"What the hell...?!" Zumi cried out in surprise.

"Is he mad?" Mia, who stood in the air with an anticipated look, frowned after seeing what Kt is going to do.

"Boom…"
