Rise of the Twelve Star Mage

Chapter 50:Two Rings: At All Costs Avoid Elimination

[10 minutes 20 duos remain]

In the headmaster's room at Aurora Saint Academy

"He finally unveiled his weapon," Percival says crossing his arms.

"From the looks of it, it seems he can wield fire Captain. A polar opposite of you" Alekzander remarks.

Captain Caldwell slowly shakes his head"Fire? No, it's not fire. At first, a person would say fire because of the way his body emits smoke and how he left the spiders burnt. That is not the case. His weapon "Siegfried" is not a fire elemental, the real ability of that weapon is-" Well you can see for yourself if you observe more Alekzander"

"Ok, Captain," he says in disappointment. "Why can't he just tell me what his ability is," he thinks to himself.

Captain Caldwell then activates a magic circle on the side of him.

"Hello," a female voice picks up.

"Luitenant Hanami how are things going over there?"

"Bareable," she says in a tired voice.

"A ton of students must've come your way I assume"

"Yeah of course after that tidal wave. They're all being brought here soaking wet. It's a good thing my captain gave me support from the rest of the division"

"Woah all of them escaped that," Faith says.

"I did them to expect the unexpected" Luna says.

"You're right you gave them the brief outline of the exam," Faith says "Now let's just see if they can handle the sea serpents rampage" as she relaxes and puts her hat over her eyes.

"It was on them to study the geography on Aiz," Axel says.

"They" ll manage to get out of this" Ceaser remarks. He then looks up at the projection at Valerus "It could be possible that they can take it out"

"Yes, my girls made it through!" Ariana says excitedly softly clapping to herself "Even half of the duos are gone. The ones that got eliminated should be reappearing back in the nurses' office. Hopefully, they didn't sustain any major injuries" Ariana says.

"You would have to thank my students for helping them out. On the other hand, the ones that got eliminated will be fine"

"They got wiped out"

"Wiped out?"

"Yes it is a phrase that's used when a wave knocks you down"

"Interesting"

Celeste continues to watch closely as the other two teachers look at her.

"She's paying close attention to this" Ariana remarks.

"Yeah"

"Impressive they managed to avoid elimination quick thinking," Professor Kayneth says.

"This is just the beginning with only 20 duos remaining near then half are gone at the 10-minute mark. The barrier didn't even begin to close yet." Professor Deximer remarks.

"They will do whatever means necessary to survive. I wonder what kind of tactics will be applied" Professor Lop says.

"They nearly took out all of my animals," Colt says.

"Hmm no we are down to 40 mages which 8 will come out on top? Only the best will make it through. " Headmaster Alfred says.

Back in the Greater Forest of Aiz

Trickles of little drops of water subside drop from the sky as the aftermath of the tidal wave is displayed.
