The Crowd discussion, the commentator's criticism, the haters comments filled with ridicule, and the concerned look on friends' faces—everything going on started to slow down. One by one, everyone started to notice that something was not right except Rajan, who was blinded by his victory. The adrenaline rushing through his mind had suppressed his senses while he was showing off and roaring.
The silver-haired boy with filled-in wounds slowly stood up. A green glow surrounded him. The next moment, the blood returned to the wounds, and the tears started recovering. He stretched his hand and dusted his hair. A white light surrounded him, and the next moment he looked similar to before. All the dust had disappeared; the only thing similar was the smile on his face.
When Rajan noticed the silence, he was confused for a moment before he started feeling that something was not right. The crowd cheering for him was looking somewhere else when he suddenly felt a cold hand on his shoulder. When he turned, he saw Rishab standing behind him, fully recovered. It was as if everything before was an illusion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut when his eyes fell on his torn clothes and the crater around him, he realized what had happened previously was real. He then looked at Rishab, thinking he might be using some trick and acting tough. "You can't fool me, Rishab."
The smile on Rishi's face grew, and he raised his hands, saying, "Oops, You got me."
Rajan laughed, saying, "I knew it; you should work on acting." He had just finished this sentence when he felt multiple chains appear from the ground, holding him in place. Rishi moved at him, and two black-colored swords appeared in his hands.
He wasted no time, used 'Shadow Blink, and appeared behind Rajan. He then used 'Sword Dash' with 'Quick Draw. He dissipated again and appeared before Rajan with his two swords clad in dark fire at the edges. Six wounds appeared all over Rajan's body, making him cry in Agony.
He broke the chains and was about to attack his opponent, but Rishi disappeared from his place, and a shadow passed by him, leaving behind more wounds. He mainly targeted the arms and legs. Finally, Rajan set himself free and launched a punch back, only to see no one was there.
He stomped angrily, and his eyes shone yellow, trying to find his opponent. He suddenly noticed a presence approaching him from behind. He launched a fire Blast' in that direction and was about to attack further when he discovered it was a Chakram.
A chill ran through Rajan's back, and he used swift Steps' to retreat; unfortunately, he was too late for it; a Spear covered in an Icy Strom perished through his back. A fountain of lava was spread, and Rajan's Fire Demon form was canceled; he fell on his knees and fainted.
Everyone became silent; some took deep breaths to calm down. No one had expected that there would be such a twist in this battle. If someone had told them that this boy in front of them was in critical condition with his body fully covered in injuries, they might not have believed him, even when they had witnessed everything.
Rishi's friends sighed and finally smiled. They knew that Rishi was not that easy to defeat, but still, their emotions overpowered them for a moment. The commentator and Ronny were also speechless; their earlier comments became senseless.
Kajal sighed in relief, finally sitting back. She didn't know how to feel. 'Should I be happy that he won or be happy that he wasted a large amount of mana? Should I be relieved that he is alright or that I now have better chances to win?' She was lost in her own dilemma.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt's not time to think about other things, Kajal. It's time to focus. My full focus should be on winning the tournament. I need to become the Rank 1 student of this batch no matter what and prove to my clan that I am far more capable than they think. She clenched her hands with determination. A fire that had died some time ago lit up again in her eyes.
Rishi left the battleground. The first place he visited was the changing room. He changed his clothes and looked at himself in the mirror. It took him some time to set his hair before he returned. There was a small break before the semifinal, which gave Rishi enough time to recover his mana.
"It looks like we judged him before the fight was over. It reminds me how hard it is to predict what will happen next. Everyone, I would like to apologize for being Rash; now let's talk about the battle," said the commentator.
"What an exciting battle it was. At first, Rishab was only using his fists. As the battle proceeded, both fighters started revealing their skills one by one. Rishab was doing pretty well from the start in pushing Rajan to use his skills, but then Rajan suddenly used his trump card; who would have thought he would also awaken Aura?
Seriously, so many students in this batch awakened their Aura in the first year. There is no doubt that the talent of this batch is something previous batches could never compare to. "You all are the academy's future, and I hope in your hands, the Academy will become the best in our region." The students cheered when they heard the commentator.
Ronny, would you like to comment on anything?" asked the commentator.
"I agree with the commentator; you guys are doing pretty good. After witnessing this battle, I believe many of you have the potential to join my university. You can ask me if you need any help. This big brother of yours will take care of you," said Ronny. The crowd's opinion of Ronny changed slightly; they forgave him for his previous remarks.
Everyone, now we are moving to the semifinals. We have five participants who have qualified for it. They are Manu, Nina, Kajal, Vinay, and Rishab. Four of them are All-Stars. This guild is something else; to achieve second rank in Guild Competition was not a fluke."
"The format for the semifinal would be similar; the only change is that the previous winner would go directly to the final. It means the other four will compete against each other until only one participant is left. The winner of the previous competition was Rishab, so he will go directly to the final Round."
