Third Person POV

The Magic Knight captains were gathered on the training grounds as they waited for the King to speak.

King clover stood up from his chair, raising his arms, "We will now commence a team battle between the Magic Knights Squad Captains!" King Augustus Clover announced, his face being broadcasted all across the kingdom.

"Citizens of the Clover Kingdom, allow your beloved king to explain the rules personally. The time limit is thirty minutes! The team that destroys the enemy team's crystal while protecting theirs will be the winner!" He shouted in his obnoxious, sniveling voice.

"—Also, due to unforeseen circumstances Captain of the Grey Deer Captain Rill Boismortier will not be participating in the match. In his absence, the lovely Lady Yve Gorgona will participate." He looked towards the woman with flared nostrils and lust-filled eyes.

Yami laughed loudly upon seeing the disgusted look upon her face, as she tried to resist the urge to use her grimoire. "I'll turn you into a garden decoration motherfu—" she tried to lunge forward only to be held back by the dark magic user.

Jack threw back his head and cackled, "Just as unhinged as always, I see!"

"Very," Nozel agreed, turning his nose up at her abhorrent display of behavior. Aside from that, he was secretly happy to have such a competent mage fighting alongside him.

From a distance, the opposing team watched the whole ordeal play out. William and Fuegoleon watched on unfazed, while Charlotte was dumbfounded at how such a lady of such class could utter such words. However, he did deserve them.

"Begin!" The king yelled, snapping her out of her stupor.

"World tree magic: Magic Tree Descent!" William said, a large tree sprouting out of the sky and shooting branches towards the other team's crystal.

Nozel used his mercury magic to create a shield over him and the crystal.

Yve and Yami ran next to each other as they devised a plan of attack, "I can help hold William off, I'll leave attacking the crystal to you." She told him.

"Alright, sounds like a plan." He agreed before the two split off, Yve used mana in her soles to launch herself into the air before landing on William's tree. More Branches quickly began to chase her as she ran across the surface with incredible speed.

"Love Magic: Apolithó Láktisma!" (petrifying kick) Yve yelled, jumping upwards she kicked the branches causing them to instantly petrify and crumble apart at the force.

She suddenly disappeared due to smoke from the debris, William looked around for her—not noticing that she had appeared behind him, her fist reeled back as it flowed with her mana.

Feeling the sudden surge of energy, he turned around only to come face to face with the female mage. However, he couldn't cast a defensive spell to block the attack in time.

Just before her hit connected, a swarm of flames blocked it, causing her to jump away in order to prevent from getting burned.

Turning around, jade eyes clashed with amethyst ones. "Well well, isn't this a pleasant surprise." She drawled with a smirk, "You of all people should know that I don't appreciate people interfering in my fights, Fuegoleon."

He chuckled, "Well, I suppose I desire your undivided attention, Lady Gorgona."

"Is that right? Then my attention is yours—!" Her grimoire appeared, "Love Magic: Apolithó Véli!" (petrifying arrows) She shouted, hundreds of arrows made of mana materialized midair, before she launched them towards him.
