In front of the majestic hand that ford from a fla afloat above in mid-air while being controlled by a single girl with sheer determination in her eyes, even Leon slightly faltered looking at it.
Leon gulped his saliva to moisten his parched throat; even he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. Tiara, who used to play with him ever since he was little and was avoided by him, has already grown into this state.
A clattering sound reverberated in his ears. He lifted the corner of his mouth because he understood where that sound ca from. "I am trembling!" Leon muttered.
He focused his attention on his hand, then tightly gripped the sword hilt. He prepared his stance while facing the enormous fla sword that seed to slice through the sky.
However, rather than being afraid, he felt a bit excited to see what the battle outco would be. Leon also found it strange because he knows best that he is not this type of person at all.
One thing that led him to have this kind of mindset was the mont when he knew that he was placed in the sa group as Soma. Soma, whose existence could be called a living Battle God in his sight, was entering the sa group as him.
There is soone who pushed him from the back recently with words alone, a person who believes in him, comforts him and supports his heart. This could be a chance for him to have a change of heart because he doesn't want to waste the effort of those who believe in him.
"...believe in the power that chooses you!". Soma's words replicated, and Leon parted his lips.
"Ah, thank you, Soma!".
A burst of golden aura exploded from his skin; its divine light pushed away the destructive power of the fire hand that still glead majestically; it witnessed the birth of the first light.
The tattoo in his palm shone blindingly, and a thin layer of golden aura coated Leon's skin. His body was brimming with power as he faced the opponent in front of him with his head held high.
"Co, Tiara!".
Tiara woke up from her absentminded state, seeing Leon's figure had beco slightly bigger in presence, unknowingly, the corner of her lips lifted, and she swung the wand in her hand.
"Hand of Gawain, slay the opponent in front of you!".
A sudden spike in temperature occurred as the hand that gripped the sword in midair began to move. Everyone in the stadium dropped their jaws, seeing the spectacles of today's closing match.
The girl with superb control over magic and her intelligence created original Magic, which placed her in the category of genius in her ti. Also, the boy who has been chosen by the world, bearing the mark of a Savior who will fight on behalf of humanity, born its first light.
A downward swing from the fla sword descended above Leon's head, but despite being oppressed by the sword. In his mind, Leon is pretty composed, and his heart is telling him that he will be fine.
Leon tightly gripped the sword in his hands, placing it beside his right waist while its blade pointed backward. As the fla sword arrived above his head, Leon inhaled deeply and swung his sword diagonally.
Silence descends upon the world. Ti feels like standing still, and the world is filled with colors, now turned into divine golden light. The fla sword that t with the light split into two, and the fla began to disperse into thin air.
Simultaneously, as the fla disappears, Tiara, who is barely holding onto her consciousness, smiles and feels a bit proud. She is also frustrated because the original magic she created painstakingly over her life got obliterated easily.
"Well, that is a good match".
She couldn't hold much longer; her feet just lost their strength, and gradually, her body was being pulled down by gravity. while falling, she felt satisfied seeing her loved one grow.
"Oof, Are you alright, Tiara?".
"Le-Leon, I-I!".
Her consciousness slipped away as she was about to say sothing. Leon was flustered at first, but after he saw her relaxed breathing, he sighed in relief.
He turned to the spectator's seat and saw his personal Maid, who had co to the stadium to witness his match. She bawled her eyes out, seeing Leon, who grasped Victory.
"The match is over".
{Woah, Amazing. Leon Pendragon from the first-year division ca victorious in this morable match!}
A loud cheer shook the entire stadium. It gives Leon a sense of relief and pride that he could arrive at this stage. He fixed Tiara's position in his hands and then began to walk toward the approaching officials who ca to tend her wounds.
"Leave her to us!".
"Yes, I am counting on you, teacher. I will visit her later".
The official walked away from the arena while Leon, who was being praised by the spectators, scanned his surroundings and t his eyes with Soma; by chance, Soma also stood up from his seat and watched Leon's shadow calmly.
Both stared for only a mont, but within that mont, their intention had passed clearly through each other's minds. "Let's et in the Semi-finals! " Leon, with a heart full of resolve, turned away and left the arena with confidence.
In the spectator seat where Soma's group was gathering, they sat in silence, getting swallowed by the festive mood that still hung on the entire stadium.
Soma, in particular, feels like he was struck by lightning because of the intense performance the two contestants had.
First off is Tiara. Soma had never heard that she was that talented and could unleash such formidable magic. Also, it was an Original Magic created by her own hand and commitnt.
Then, Leon. The light that coated his body earlier ca from his own will or heart, which was answered by the power that ca from the symbol. It seed the ti for Leon's awakening was not far from here. The key to handling the power of the Savior is the user's will.
If the user's will is weak, full of flaws, and has no clear path, he can't manifest his power explosively. If the opposites happened by chance, then Leon can undoubtedly wipe out every contestant in this competition with ease.
One thing that made him wonder was where and what kind of trigger made Leon have that change in mindset so fast. Just yesterday, he was still filled with doubt and barely managed to win against Akane.
"Yo, everyone in Student council. I ca to visit".
The door to the place slamd open, and from behind appeared the figure of Akane. She seed filled with joy, cast her gaze aside, and began approaching Soma's side.
"Big Sis, why are you here?".
Hina, who had known her for a long ti, welcod her entrance. With a languid expression as usual, Xiao Lian nodded her head while her eyes t with Akane. anwhile, Serafina knit her brows on high alert.
"Nothing. I just ca to observe the match, but it was finished; achaa, I want to see his developnt."
"I see, so it was like that". Soma, who overheard her words, understands the whole picture now. "Akane, you finally start your move in getting his favor". Soma muttered in his heart.
