Earls of Parsea

Chapter 1

The Training Ground.

The duel still continued even after that incident and everyone tried their best to wipe away that memory and just focus on the match.

The next pair to get up was two guys. Nyxus noticed that one of them was that guy with an ear piercing earlier. He was smiling at his opponent and offered his hand for a shake. With the blow of Tynna's whistle, their duel commenced.

The man from before has a well built physique and is much taller than the other, but it wasn't a hindrance for him. The fire sorcerer attacks first and summons his fire using his staff. He threw it to the taller one, and almost hit him in his feet if he wasn't quick enough to jump.

“Woah you almost got me there” The man drawls while laughing. He reached out from his back and from there, came a dagger. He smiled at his opponent again. “My turn.”

He was fast when he came to attack the guy. He thrust his dagger towards his opponent as he did. The smaller one dodge it while moving backward. With a swift move from his opponent, the man used his feet to jump out at the guy and landed on the fire wielder's back. Pinning him on the ground. The smaller guy immediately made his move and tried wiggling himself away from the other's hold but his opponent was way stronger than him. So to free himself, using his staff, he summoned his fire.

“Hey no fair.” The man who asked about Antheia complained. Making everyone laugh.

The sorcerer summoned a fire that trapped them both inside. The fire was waist length, and enclosed them both. The taller one stood up, freeing his opponent in the process. They were now both smiling, amused at their duel.

The atmosphere has lightened up because of their crazy antics. Even though they're in a duel, and a fire was trapping them. Everyone can't help but to smile and laugh at them.

The man ran a hand on his hair as he looks at the fire surrounding them. He heaved a sigh and looks at the sorcerer. “Fine, as you wish.”

He hid is dagger back, and out of nowhere, the fire that entrapped them both suddenly crawls on his feet. Leaving everyone shock. It didn't burn him. Instead, the fire continued traveling until it covered both of his hand. The fire sorcerer was looking at him with a surprised eyes. Who would've thought.

Fire versus fire. The taller one raised his hand, the fire that was covering it vanished as it forms a cloud above him. He pointed his hand towards his opponent and the cloud was suddenly coming towards the sorcerer's direction. He tried running away as he shots fireballs after fireballs at his opponent. The sorcerer made a shield as the cloud started raining down fire crystals at him. He attempted to counter it by trapping the cloud inside a massive ball of fire. Devouring it whole before it bursts out into a mist.

Minutes passed and the two still continued to throw attacks after attacks. Everyone felt excitement as they looked at two. They both have equal strength, but Nyxus could feel that one of them is just trying to suppress his real ability. And after almost an hour, Tynna blows her whistle, indicating that their match is over.

Everyone cheered for them. The two men shook hands while exchanging pleasantries.

“Great match”

“Looking forward in seeing you again in the arena”

After that, pairs after pairs got the chance to show off their ability inside the training ground. And before long, it was already Nyxus' turn. She breathes out deeply before she walks to the front. She's one of the last trainees to do the duel. There were fifty of them, 25 pairs in each team. She got pick up as the twentieth contender. Meaning, she, together with her challenger, was the 10th pair to have the duel.
