'Now what?'
Lee was seeing sothing like this for the first ti. He had no idea what it could do, and was not sensing any hostility from the suspended diagram.
The large circle had two triangles in it, one up straight and another upside down. At each point of the triangle was a symbol distinct and unique. The circle imdiately started to rotate and Ganga had finished her chant.
A dark portal was replaced by the orange with a spectacular transition. It was as if the magical construct caved in and the reality was distorted. The orange circle remained in the air, and acted as a barrier which restricted the void inside from spreading outside.
From the darkness within, a limb erged. The leg resembled that of a giant lion's paw. The next second, a head erged from the void.
"Advanced Summoning Magic!"
Sulphur Quill, the head of the Summoning Magic departnt, shouted out and the whole of the stadium was stunned at this revelation. Everyone had two reasons to be surprised. One, it was summoning magic and the advanced at it. Two, the head of Magic Research departnt had unearthed this advanced art without the knowledge of anyone.
Many shivered at their first draft of speculation, when they imagined what the Magic Research departnt could be hiding. Even in the Summoning Magic departnt, Sulphur alone only knew about the advanced tier of summoning magic. But that was different from what Ganga had displayed.
Lee also heard the exclamation and was now aware about the trick. He probed at Hudson about this type of magic.
[I am sorry Lee. All I rember is a few magic circles and I am not sure whether they are related to summoning. Perhaps, I might have forgot about it.]
The response was not as he had expected, but Lee was not disheartened. He had his own 'version' of summoning magic. But before that, he decided to watch his opponent's magic in detail.
Resembling a two tre tall gigantic lion, the beast that exited the portal had a royal blue skin and had narrow orange coloured lines as design. The thick fur was aesthetically beautiful, and many students found it difficult to avert their gazes from the soft texture. The paws had sharp and long claws, and emitted a fierce aura. Exposing the sharp and well arranged array of teeth, it glanced around and growled.
The indoor arena resonated the beast's scary presence. The beast turned around and skimd through the faces seated around the arena, and finally reached Lee. The sharp gaze produced from its eyes were bone-chilling, but that was unfortunately far from enough to shake his resolve.
"I was reserving this for a stronger opponent, but if you admit defeat, this beast may not tear you apart."
Ganga took a step forth and touched the beast's mane, and conveyed her intentions. She had drunk a dium quality Mana potion right after the beast ca out, and thus was brimming with energy. The portal was closed imdiately after the beast had exited.
"That is so nice trick, but I have my own."
Lee was not ready to admit defeat to such simple tricks, and gave out his answer. His voice resonated in the ears of everyone, and many frowned. Muffled gasps could be heard a second after and many were glad that they had co to witness the duel.
Ganga was curious as his words could only an one thing. Erikko and Drake leaned forward with the sa revelation. Sulphur was becoming restless at this revelation. His fingers fidgeted constantly as his excitent skyrocketed.
'Activate light affinity.'
Lee followed the exact sa actions of Ganga, and extended his arms forward. To bring naturality and more focus, he closed his eyes. A large lump of light materialised in his palm, and shone bright.
'Not too bright, and not too dull. As thick as an electric cable.'
The closed eyes helped him to picturise his construct more vividly and in detail. As he poured Mana into his palms, the shining lump was quickly transford into a less brighter circle. The construct made of light began to expand and beca bigger than what Ganga had conjured.
'A little bit more, and stop. Now, the decorations.'
After expanding the circle a bit more, he maintained it in the mid-air. Then extrely detailed shapes and constructs began to appear out of thin air. Within a minute, the circle was filled with innurous unique glyphs, and geotrical shapes.
The circle filled with many useless triangles, pentagons and hexagons inside it, played its role flawlessly. The complex white construct was majestic and suspended in the air with a royal halo. At the centre of all these was a light construct that was the mirror image of a Rubix's cube. It constantly rotated and shifted the blocks randomly.
'Let the gates be opened.'
Lee raised the entire light construct into the air and it expanded exponentially. After it reached a towering height of 20 ft, Lee decided to open the System Space at its middle. He was careful to precisely manipulate the complex light construct, and made it look like the entire 'magical circle' dissolved into the portal.
Like a gigantic snake eye iris, a vertical tear ford in the middle of the dissolving light particles. The darkness inside the portal was enormous and the fissure expanded to the sides. Ganga was taken aback by the size of the portal, and had a bad premonition about what was about to erge from it.
Even after a few seconds, nothing erged from the inside. Many were almost at their threshold of excitent, and they could not help but stand up and peer at the portal. Even Erikko, the principal, had slid forward and was at the very edge of his chair. When students took a glimpse of the head of the Summoning Magic departnt, Sulphur's eyes conveyed confusion and strangeness to the whole process.
Lee had commanded the beast to not co out casually, but to make a dramatic entrance. The beast responded in agreent with a roar, and it shook the insides of the stadium. From the facial expressions, Lee speculated that so were at the verge of fainting.
