What happened afterwards was too quick for most of the audience to even catch up.
Instead of taking the opportunity to charge in, Fen simply stood in place, smiling at his enemy. With everything that he went through already, what good could this city boy do to him?
While it was obvious that this kind of lack of action was akin to giving the initiative to the enemy, but at this point, Fen simply couldn't care less.
At so point, his opponent's body twisted a bit. Just by a tiny amount, this young man in front of Fen leaned forward, indicating his next movent. Used to observing all the tiniest clues that beasts from the forest would give him, as this was the only way to outsmart them and avoid the fight, Fen could read his opponent like an open book!
Stepping forward at the exact sa mont as his opponent attacked, for the onlookers it would most likely seem as if the two of them moved at the sa ti.
But that was also when the fight ended. Capable of moving far quicker than his enemy could expect, Fen simply walked forward a few steps, before knocking his enemy out with a dull hit to the side of his head. Even before a fireball forming on that young man's hand could take its final shape, its holder was already falling to the ground, unconscious.
"Next round!"
Not wasting any ti, grade two class teacher instantly announced the beginning of yet another clash, as if he couldn't afford for the sha of losing twice in a row to remain. Intend on washing it up with the next fight, before Fen could even get off from the bright area, another opponent was already awaiting soone from Fen's class.
"Kaisha, you are up!"
Only now did Fen notice that he was placed above the girl. While the fact that she lost against the veteran that Fen managed to best caused it to make sense, but there was a deeper aning behind it. So far, the greatest asset under the young man's belt, steed from combining Kaisha's techniques with those of his own. Just the fact that she was capable of putting the fight against that veteran soldier was enough to put her way above the first two competitors from either class!
Gracing the young man with a cheerful smile on her way to the fighting grounds, Kaisha basically jumped her way there. Even when she stopped in front of the enemy, her face was still twisted in a wide smile, with every part of her body oozing the happiness.
"Wha"
This ti, it was the enemy's turn to be shocked. Faced against such an overwhelming wholesoness, the young man hesitated. And at the sa very mont, Kaisha simply jumped forward once again, gently slapping her opponent's face.
At the point when her fingertips made contact with the man's face, it seed as if eruption suddenly exploded the man away. Jerked to the back by the sudden ergence of a huge fireball, by the ti the young man from the second grade managed to turn his head back towards his opponent, his body already left the test area, indicating his loss!
"Aweso!"
Ignoring the rest of the commotion going on around the fighting grounds, Fen focused his entire attention on Kaisha's happy self. Returning from the test in the sa manner as she went in, by the ti this girl reached the front row of the students from their class, everyone already could tell from her intense stare that she was heading towards her dear partner.
"That was great."
A bit tense from all the attention that suddenly fallen on him, Fen still stood up and nodded his head to his partner. And he could make her even happier in any other way! Throwing herself forward once she reached the suitable distance, Kaisha wrapped her hands around Fen's neck, pulling him into a deep hug.
"I DID IT!"
For the first ti since the first phase of the tournant started, soone managed to break the eerie and solemn air that lingered in this place even before Fen arrived with the rest of his class here.
Openly expressing her happiness in achieving sothing, Kaisha beca the first arcanist in the entire building that properly understood how this event should look like.
"You did a great job"
Unable to resist her embrace, Fen started to move his hands up and down her spine, snuggling her even closer into himself. At the sa ti, the entire hall finally erupted with the excited voices from both of the classes.
"Did you see how she exploded him away?"
"But hey, that instant win from before"
"I actually love the first lesson that second graders gave us!"
Suddenly filled with voices of the young people comnting on the ongoing event, Fen could hear people from his class praising their opponents and the second-grade students doing the sa.
Soon, the attention of everyone was pulled towards the next ga, when the ti for the second graders to show their prowess finally ca. While the fight was an obvious loss with how quickly the upper-class participant managed to overwhelm Fen's classmate, but instead of leaving him in the dust, it was the sa second-grader that pulled his opponent up, before starting to explain all the mistakes he noticed in the other's movents!
Going back to Fen himself, with Kaisha hugging him through the next three consecutive wins of the second grade, the young man could slowly feel how their positions were changing.
Instead of just snuggling to each other while standing, the two of them sohow ended up sitting on a nearby chair, with Kaisha comfortably lodged on top of Fen's lap. Feeling her breath slowly calm down and stabilise from the slight waves that shook her body, Fen was starting to lose his mind.
Only the excitent from his classmates sohow managing to catch up to their opponents allowed the young man to pull his thoughts aside for a mont. Sadly, this series of unexpected wins didn't last for long, quickly leading to the conclusion of the eting.
In the end, even this overall loss wasn't as heavy as it would appear before the atmosphere cleared up. Now, while second-graders were obviously rejoicing, most of them rather quickly mixed with Fen's third-grade, allowing both sides to find so new insights on their skills!
"Fen, Kaisha Sorry to break your mont, but you guys are ranked third and second respectively. That ans you will be in the different groups during the tournant, thank for that later."
Appearing as suddenly as he then vanished, Stiel stopped them from silently enjoying their wholeso mont only to disappear as he left one more sentence lingering in the air.
"Seeing you two I wouldn't' dare to make you fight each other Eh, you will thank later!"
