the Earth Realm representatives made a striking entrance, clad in tunics complemented by light bronze armor and adorned with necklaces featuring gems that gleamed with elemental energy. Among them were Yul Terminus and Porter Portonus, a duo that radiated an unspoken closeness and stood as the eldest in the team. Despite lacking blood ties, the resemblance between them was uncanny, both sporting hair tightly bound in buns. Yul wielded a formidable throwing club, while Porter showcased mastery with a precisely crafted boomerang.

Mont Oyamatsumi and Everest Apu, the formidable warlock of the group, bore the weight of large war hammers with arms and legs sculpted like chiseled statues. Their imposing presence spoke of raw strength and magical prowess. Mauna-loa Ruaumoko, a witch without a conventional weapon, carried an air of mystery with her extremely dark red hair cascading around her.

Arcadia Ash Ammuru, surrounded by swirling grains of sand, introduced an element of enigma to the team. Calla Yumkaax, a witch hailing from the land of woods, captivated attention with her bright green eyes, notably drawing the interest of Flora and Fauna. In her grasp, she held a thorn-like flail, a testament to her skill and affinity with the natural world.

As Master Ajax signaled the beginning of the games, the arena buzzed with heightened anticipation. The Earth Realm representatives, each uniquely skilled and armed, added an exciting layer to the elemental clash about to unfold. The stage was set for a dazzling display of power and strategy, and the crowd eagerly awaited the spectacle that was about to unfold.

 Yul showcased his mastery by erecting formidable barriers around the golem, declaring, "Four Wall Barrier," effectively entrapping the creature. Seizing the opportunity, Mauna-loa clutched a glowing fire agate crystal and, with a touch to the ground, invoked the spell "Lava Style - Great Eruption." Within minutes, the golem began to melt away, and Mauna-loa swiftly cooled the molten remains, leaving only its head atop a now-blocky body. Exhausted, Yul brought down the barriers, remarking, "I should have created symbols. That tires me out quickly."

Capitalizing on the freshly cooled lava, Calla gathered seeds from her pouch and infused them with her mana. With a flourish, she declared, "Plant Magic - Bonsai World," tossing the mana-infused seeds into the cooled lava. Miraculously, large, bent trees sprouted, forming stairs that ascended into the air. Flora, astonished by Calla's command of plant magic, watched as Mont and Everest rushed up these arboreal stairs with their war hammers. Mauna and Arcadia enchanted the stairs with copious amounts of mana, and, coordinating their efforts, the team struck simultaneously, with Mont delivering the final blow to the crystal.

Observing the impressive display, the Earth Empress commented, "I didn't expect anything less from the best. By the way, Fire Leader, I hope your team is as good as mine. You're going to need the luck." The tension between the realms hung in the air, adding an extra layer of drama to the ongoing tournament.

Team Paradise approached to offer their congratulations, but the Earth Realm representatives walked past without acknowledging them. Puzzled by the cold reception, Fauna inquired, prompting Calla to glance back briefly. Twilight explained that Paradise and the Earth Realm weren't on good terms. Helios elaborated, "Paradise played a heroic role in diminishing their power and rule, and assisting in the freedom of the Fire Realm under the Earth Realm." Lycaon simplified it as "politics," while Helios rolled his eyes. Apollon asked where he was going. Helios, looking back, responded aggravatedly, "I don't owe you anything, flashlight," before flickering away. Nile suggested leaving him alone, mentioning that Helios had someone important to meet.

Ignoring the advice, Apollon decided to follow after him. Lycaon, sensing Apollon's determination, ran after him. They caught up with one of the Fire Realm generals, adorned in a knee-length toga covered in dragon skin armor with dyed scales in intricate patterns. Tattoos adorned her body, and braids intricately adorned her hair, a common feature among the Fire Generals.

Taking a deep breath, Helios addressed her, "Mother, did you watch me out there?" She diverted her attention from her duties to acknowledge him, replying, "You know I am at work, Helios." Despite his sadness, she offered feedback, "You need more training with your brother. You've improved decently well." Her gaze shifted to the children behind him, and she continued, "It seems you've made friends with the Paradise leader's grandchild. Maybe his skills will rub off on you," casting a disdainful glance at Lycaon." Though stay away from your Father's bastard." The warlocks were visibly taken aback.

The announcement for the Fire Realm team was suddenly declared by Master Ajax. Helios' mother departed to rejoin the other generals, and the warlocks followed her, leaving behind a lingering air of tension and mystery.
