Magic VI

Hijacked and The Beginning of "The Seven Academy's Magic Competition"

2103. July, 20.

"Ahhh! Two more weeks 'til the competition!" Claris started squealing.

"Really? All that time has gone by so fast!" Kana had just realized that the competition was coming up.

"So it's being held on August Third, huh?"

"Yeah it is, so what contests in the competition are you guys taking part in?" Kai had asked ever curiously, "I'm doing Monolith Code and Ice Obelisk Shatter."

"Ice Obelisk Shatter and One on One Girl's Combat." Claris gave a huge smile.

"I'll be taking part in Monolith Code and Labyrinth Dash." Corren said with a soft tone.

Kana perks up. "For me it's One on One Girl's Combat and Mirage Catch."

Evan had an excited expression on his face. "I'm also doing Monolith Code, Ice Obelisk Shatter and Labyrinth Dash."

"Wow, you're doing three contests? So am I!" I smile.

"Which three Guinevere?" Kana tilts her head.

"Speed Shooting, Ice Obelisk Shatter, and Mirage Catch."

"Ooh! I can't wait to see you compete!" Claris randomly springs up from her seat.

I smile. "Thank you."

This year, there are six contests being held within the competition. I re-read pamphlet that the president had given me earlier today. It read:

"The 8th Annual Seven Academy's Magic Competition will be held in "The Exion" in Paramount Metropolis, a.k.a Central City. It will begin August 3rd and end August 12th, it will last ten days. There are six contests: Monolith Code, Ice Obelisk Shatter, Mirage Catch, Speed Shooting, One on One Girl's Combat, and Labyrinth Dash.The freshman students will compete together while the senior students compete together."

I flip the page, it started to explain the rules for each contest.

"Monolith Code: A men's-only game. Only students from the "Trichotomy" classes are able to compete in this game. Each team consists of three players. The goal is to unlock the enemy's monolith, once unlocked the players must enter a code consisting of many characters. Once entered, the team who completes the task is crowned winner. Another way to win is to knock down all of your enemy's team members. Magic that could cause severe pain or fatal situations are forbidden."

"Ice Obelisk Shatter: A men's and women's game. Two players stand on the opposite side of each other on a three meter tall tower. There are ten obelisks made of ice instead of stone in one's field which a player must defend. Their oppponent also has ten obelisks on their side of the field in which they defend. The goal is to attack and destroy your opponents obelisks as they're trying to do the same to your own. Once a player's ten obelisks all get destroyed, the one who still has obelisks standing is the winner."

"Mirage Catch: A women's-only game. There are seven players, each from their own academy. Each player has to use "Aeration" type magic to rise into the air to capture holographic spheres a.k.a mirage spheres to gain points. Each player has their own designated coloured sphere they must capture. Players compete by capturing as many spheres as they can."

"Speed Shooting: A men's and women's game. Two players compete with each other at a time. Each player has a gun in which they use to shoot flying discs that are being released from machines. There are black discs and white discs. One player shoots white discs while the other shoots the black discs. The player who shoots all 100 discs that are their colour is crowned winner."
