Rising of the Weakest Mage

Vol 11/Ch 108 - The Triumvirate's Leader

"Get ready everyone!," the twin announcers raised their voices, for everyone to hear. "The finals of the Annual Magical Knights Tournament is finally here!"

Immense cheering erupted from the crowd, mages and non-mages alike, that filled the arena. There were almost no empty seats, as everyone did not want to miss today. The final round is arguably the most important, and generally the most interesting to watch.

"Today's match will be between two students I'm sure all of you are cheering for, one or the other!," Lisa raised her voice, speaking first. "The first and obvious, arguably our strongest mage our academy has to currently offer, Simon Windblade!"

The arena filled with loud cheers, as many alike were excited for Simon's arrival. No doubt many mages within the higher influential families wished to see Simon's victory, proving they are superior.

"A year 3 and rank A, Simon Windblade is no doubt many of you here today are expecting to win!," Misa explained, with it being her turn to speak. "And I'm sure that all of you are aware that Simon is son to the both honorable and respectable Solomon Windblade, the Triumvirate's leader!"

Respectable cheers went through the crowd, mostly from mages alike, for those who agreed with the Triumivirate's current rule and methods. Those that were more opposed to it, kept their mouths shut and heads down.

"And last but not least, considered our weakest mage attending the academy, Allen Fleming!"

The arena was once again filled with loud cheers, with many also excited for Allen's arrival. Allen's reputation had begun to go up ever since his outstanding victories against many strong mages alike throughout the tournament, earning him many fans alike. He was especially popular with the lower ranked students, as they too did not possess much mana. That did not mean he was likable and respected by some of the higher ranked mages, who agreed with him more than their current temporary head director, Ellen Marion.

"A year 1 and rank D, Allen Fleming may prove to be the underdog some of you see him as!," Misa finally spoke. "While he may not be from any influential or powerful family, Allen has been making a name for himself through his skill alone!"

"And now, welcome both of our competitors in, as they will soon compete to become the winner of the tournament!," the twins announced at once, pointing towards either side of the arena.

Cheers came from all sides of the arena, as Allen Fleming walked in from one side, and Simon Windblade walked in from the other. The two began to converge towards the middle, where they would soon begin their awaited duel.

Murmurs finally went throughout the arena, as many began to debate what they think would be the result of the duel. Can Allen Fleming manage to prevail against Simon Windblade? Will he somehow beat him against all odds? Or will Simon once again prove to be victorious, highlighting his strengths above all?

"But that's enough about our two competitors for now!," the twins continued. "Because I'm sure some of you are already aware, we have special guests in for the finals!"

The arena began to quiet down and turn their attention towards the twins, in both confusion and interest. Just who could be coming in?

"Everyone, please welcome in our honorable and respectable Solomon Windblade, current leader of the Triumvirate and head of the Windblade family!"

The arena went quickly silent as many mages got up from their seats and bowed, as Solomon Windblade made his appearance. Several important Triumvirate officials followed behind Solomon, which one of them included Edmund.

Solomon wore his usual, professional grand attire, and a calm and collected look on his face. His short and grey hair complimented his grey beard, which gave him an older but handsome look.
