Lily and Kurt stared at each other for a brief moment before raising their wands at the same time.
A moment later, the Treant and the two Ice Foxes clashed together, while the two teenagers hurled spells at each other.
The crowd cheered in excitement because this was something that they didn’t expect to see in a battle against the Pillars of the First Years.
They thought that the battles between the Third Years and Fourth Years were the most exciting of all, but the first match of the day was so intense that they couldn’t help but feel their blood boiling as they watched it.
Thorny vines crawled towards Lily like live snakes, but she deftly avoided them by dodging and running away.
“Magna Amplifico!” Lily shouted as she used the higher version of the spell, Amplifico, further raising her body’s performance.
This spell wasn’t something that could be easily used because one must have an absolute understanding of how the spell, Amplifico, worked before casting this on oneself.
Chanting the name of the spell wouldn’t do anything, and you would only receive the ordinary boost of Amplifico if you hadn’t mastered it completely.
As soon as Lily cast the spell on herself, her speed drastically rose allowing her to close the gap between her and Kurt in a matter of seconds.
However, the teenage boy only stomped his feet on the ground, and summoned a dome of thorny vines to protect himself, preventing Lily from getting close.
Ethan, who had seen how Lily fought against Alice knew that if the blonde girl used her Therianthropy Ability, she would be able to easily rend through Kurt’s defenses.
However, for some reason, it seemed that she didn’t have any intention of showing her true powers in his fight against her opponent.
But, that didn’t mean that Lily was helpless against Kurt’s defensive abilities.
“Now!” Lily shouted before jumping to the side.
A moment later, the two Ice Foxes ran past the treant and unleashed two Icy Breath attacks towards the dome of thorns that protected Kurt.
The vines instantly turned into ice, and shattered into pieces.
Kurt once again appeared in Lily’s vision, and just a glance was enough to tell her that he was in the middle of casting a very powerful spell.
Her guess was spot on because Kurt was about to cast his strongest Origin Magic which he was saving for his final match against Ethan’s Partial Resonance.
“Magna Hortus…” Kurt roared as he was about to say the final word of his spell.
However, before he could complete his spell, a blur appeared in front of him, and Lily’s fist smashed against his chest, canceling his spell mid-chant.
The force of Lily’s punch was so strong that Kurt smashed against the barrier of the arena, knocking the boy unconscious.
“Winner, Lily Langley!” Professor Barret raised his hand and declared Lily’s victory in the match.
The crowd cheered and applauded the cute girl who immediately raised her hands to wave at the crowds.
The medics ran towards the arena and immediately gave first aid to the unconscious Kurt, who was then carried away on a magical stretcher that floated in the air.
“Did you see it?” Nicole asked Ethan in a solemn tone.
“I did,” Ethan replied.
Nicole smiled. “Be careful in your next match. You have seen her use it very briefly, so it is possible that she will also use it against you.”
Ethan nodded his head. Although it only lasted for a second or two, Lily had used her Therian Transformation Ability to transform her legs to that of a wolf, giving her a boost of speed to close the gap between her and Kurt in the blink of an eye.
When she punched him, her hand also transformed to that of a wolf at the point of impact, making her blow more deadly.
As Lily waved her hands to thank the crowd, her gaze landed on Ethan.
Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on her face and blew the teenage boy a flying kiss, which made all the First Years glance in his direction.
“It’s that bastard Ethan again…,” one of the First Years glared hatefully at the handsome boy with blue hair.
“We need to eliminate him!” another First Year suggested.
“How did he manage to get a flying kiss from our angel when she doesn’t even look at me?!”
“Bro, have you looked at yourself in the mirror? It looks like a sardine. How can you possibly get a flying kiss with that face?”
“Damn you!”
Ethan, who was suddenly receiving hateful stares from Lily’s Fansclub, ignored them, and focused his attention on the person whom he considered as his greatest adversary in the tournament.
‘Magna Amplifico…,’ Ethan thought. ‘I need to learn that spell before my fight against her starts.’
Currently, Ethan was only relying on the spell, Amplifico, to boost his body’s performance.
If he were to fight against Lily who could use the spell, Magna Amplifico, his chances of winning would drastically decrease.
He was already at a great advantage against the girl who could summon Ice Foxes, as well as transform her limbs into that of a wolf to gain massive strength and speed.
A minute later, Lily finally left the arena to give way to the duel between the Second Years.
This time, it was Noah’s turn to focus on the next match because the two he would be fighting in the arena would be his rivals in his next matches.
Contrary to what everyone expected, the second match was won by Terra Manor.
Similar to Lily’s and Kurt’s battle, the duel was fierce, and both contestants did their best to win.
It was a very exciting match, and the Second Year of Terra Manor only won due to a small mistake by her opponent, whom she took advantage of, sealing their victory for the second match.
As for the third match, the victory once again fell in favor of Jaeger Manor.
When everyone thought that Lily’s and Kurt’s battle was the most exciting one in the tournament, their views changed when the Head Prefects of Terra Manor and Jaeger Manor fought with each other.
When Ethan fought against Langston, half of the arena was destroyed.
However, when the two Head Prefects fought, the entire arena was destroyed.
The winner of the Match was Terra Manor because their Head Prefect was able to stand on the only part of the arena that was still intact, and her opponent stood on the ground, making him lose by default.
“Unbelievable,” Eren said as he looked at the beautiful lady, who was standing in front of him. “You’re still as strong as ever, Irene.”
“And you’re stronger now compared to last year, Eren,” Irene replied in an exhausted tone. “I just won by luck.”
Eren smiled. “Luck is also a part of one’s strength. You bested me in this match.”
“Thank you for the praise,” Irene replied. “I’ll make sure to tell my fiance not to find trouble with you later for injuring me.”
“Please do. I don’t want Henry to beat me up later for hurting his fiance.”
“Hahaha. Okay.”
And thus, the battle between Terra Manor and Jaeger Manor ended in a draw of 2 wins and 2 losses each.
Since this was a round robin match, the one with the most wins in the tournament would become the Champion.
This placed great pressure on the members of the Dud Manor because Terra Manor’s, and Jaeger Manor’s position in the tournament would depend on the outcome of their matches against Dud Manor. 𝔬𝒱𝑳xt.𝒸𝚘𝓂
A Manor which no one paid much attention to until Ethan arrived in Brynhildr Academy.
