“Mmm… Once you know the equation, it is simple to alter it a bit to fit your needs.” I explained with a smile. What I did not say, though, was that I already planned to take this creation a step further and create what I would like to call ‘Gates of Faithylon’. I know the na is not the best, but I figure it would be cool to transform the spell into sothing not only deadly but beautiful at the sa ti. Just imagining thousands of whirlpools of flas appearing in the air to have thousands of fla swords co out of those whirlpools makes shiver in excitent. Of course, this is not an original idea. I once read a novel online that had such things in it. At any rate, it was a neat idea, and now that I have a sword that can burn as well as slice, I am very happy to begin crafting such a spell.
“To think you are able to change the spell in such a short ti right after it was created.” Runa seed a bit exhausted. I guess I would be the sa if the spell I had been working on for so long was easily pulled apart and transford into a new spell in almost an instant.
“Hmmm… But you can do a lot with this spell, using the sa equation and changing the elent like so.” I waved my hand and created four different magic circles that each created a different elental sword.Â
“This is so not fair! Faith, you like to bully people, don’t you?” Runa asked with a pout. It was not that I wanted to bully her, but I finally found soone other than my father, who was a magic freak like myself. So I was just kind of showing off.
Runa and I talked into the early morning hours. The fighting on the stages was still going on, so after a long yawn, Runa decided to head back to her inn room to rest up. She did ask where I was staying but cried about the fact that I was moving after the tournant was over and would be starting school. I think her exact words were: “I will go talk to the king about this!” So I can only guess that she plans to get a form of residence on the floating island and maybe even enter the academy. This, however, was only an assumption.-.
As for , I stayed to watch the last of the battles. Sir Derek had won his battle after punching every person off the battle stage. Sei did the sa as well, and Gesel threw each person off the stage after toying with them for a while. While the way they went about things was a little off, I had already expected them to win their stages. This now left the tournant with one thousand people in the next round, which was one on one fights. I can only guess this will be a progression match system done on multiple stages.Â
I did not have to wait long to find out about this either. Because as soon as the last battle ended, the announcer appeared and was standing up on the high stage once more. “As all the battle stages have finished, and we have all contestants here in the stadium, we will now display the one versus one battle chart.”
The announcer waved his hand, and a battle chart with the nas of each contestant appeared high in the air. But what I did not understand was that he said all contestants were here. Runa left a while ago. “Faith!” A whiny voice filled my ear, causing to turn to my left. I saw Runa, who was covered in dirt, had her hair all standing straight up, walking over to with a face full of tears.Â
I was not really sure if I should ask or not with how Runa looked, but I figured I would ask because I was very curious as to why she looked like she rolled around in the dirt. “Uhhh… Runa…. What happened?”Â
“When I tried to leave, the guards said I couldn’t leave until the round was over as I am a participant. And well, I yelled at them and even threatened to use magic on them, but they wouldn’t budge. So I tried to climb the wall, but who would have thought that it was rigged to electrocute people who tried to climb over it!? I was so tired I ended up passing out there. But then the guard kicked and told that I couldn’t sleep there!” I truly did not know what to say to this silly elf girl. Who in their right mind would just fall asleep where they fell after getting electrocuted if they were still conscious, to begin with!? Yes, I understand she was tired, but still, this was just too much!Â
I an, she knew I was still in the stands. Why didn’t she just co back and sit by !? I guess I will just never understand how so people’s brains work. While she was a genius at magic she seems to be an air head when it ca to other things. It actually makes wonder just how she got to the capital in one piece. I find it quite amazing how your perception of soone can be ruined by a single incident. Like, say, a boy who really liked a girl who he thought was kind hearted and sweet. Only to one day hear her swearing and kicking soone while shaking down the person she was stepping on. It was a difference between night and day. While it was not to such an extre in this case, it was still quite surprising to see the sudden shift in personality after showing the magic crazy side of her, who was intelligent and knew exactly what she was talking about.
At any rate, I guess the sa could be said about as well. Although, I will deny it to the ends of the world. “Runa, look up at the sky.”Â
“Oh?” Runa looked up at the sky and frowned. “I am not going to have to fight now, right? I am really tired!”
“I am not sure the announcer has not said anything since creating the….”
Before I could even finish my words, the announcer once again spoke up. “Battles will be held tomorrow morning! Make sure you are here by first morning bell. Now go and get so rest!”
“Looks like we can finally leave. To be honest, I expected the first round to take much longer.” I did not think the first round of battles would be done in a day and a night, but then again, once people started getting tired, it was only a matter of ti, I guess. Fighting for so many hours was bound to make people with lower stamina quickly tap out.
“Now we can leave!? Then why did they keep here in the first place!? Why did the wall electrocute !? Why did the guard kick !?” Runa seed very stressed out.
“Well, Runa, I will see you tomorrow. I need to get plenty of rest for my next battles.” I shook the still sleeping Sophie to wake her up. She groaned but still raised her head and looked at while rubbing her eyes. “Is it over?”
“Just the first round. We are heading ho now.” I answered as I stood up and stretched. Annie seed to have already been awake, so she shook the other two maids to wake them before standing up herself.Â
“Young Miss, should I prepare so breakfast before you go to sleep?” Annie asked.
“Mmm… I am sure Sei will complain if she has nothing to eat. Or she might have dragged Gesel off already. I am not sure. She never ca to see after she won her stage.” I answered. But for so reason, I could feel a set of eyes burning into the side of my head. “Runa, if you have sothing to say, please say it.”
“Can I co over to eat as well!?” Runa asked. I sighed and nodded. I an, there was no reason not to invite her over. But…. “No magic talk. After we eat, I want to sleep.”
“Yes, mam!!” Runa answered as if she was talking to a teacher. I am starting to wonder if Runa was younger than I thought.Â
“Runa, I know this might sound rude, but how old are you?” I decided to give in to my curiosity and ask.
“? Fourteen this year!” Runa answered while putting her hands on her hips and raising her nose in the air. While I was confused as to why she was so proud of her age, for her to be only fourteen surprised . I an with her knowledge in magic at her age truly makes her a genius. While I have a photographic mory due to my stats, the idea of soone without such a thing being able to rember so much truly amazes . Then again, I do not know much about elves in the first place. And it is not like I can ask if I can dissect her to try to figure out how she ticks either. Not that I would.
But now that I am thinking about it. I wonder if she thinks the sa as since I am almost a year and a half younger. Or maybe she is just saying she is young but in truth she is two hundred and fourteen!? Well to be honest I have no right to say she is lying nor do I have the right to say she is telling the truth either. I can only go by what facts are laid out in front of .
