Aspiration to the Heavens: Becoming the Supreme Mage Vol 2- Descent of Darkness

Episode 112: Tournament Final Commences

*Nyima*

All three pairs proceed into the battlefield once it was done being made.

The girl from Tora summoned her wand and transformed it into the stylized lily yari she had used in the forest.

A short boy with goldenrod hair summoned a black wand and transformed it into a giant battle axe.

"H-how can he carry that?" I asked.

"Kid's as strong as Sir Elliot," Adela's partner said, chuckling.

The guy glared at him and me. "Who are you calling a kid?"

I gulped as I got flashbacks to a certain short knight.

"Relax, Hiro," the Toran girl said, trying not to snicker.

"You're laughing too, Kagu!" he snapped, pointing at his teammate.

"I'm not," she said, turning away.

His blue eyes narrowed. "Yeah right!"

Lei's uncle snickered as he watched from outside the barrier.

"Why are you laughing!"

Euphonium smiled. "It's just that you remind me of someone I knew in another life..."

"Ehhh?" Hiro asked, raising an eyebrow. "What does that mean?"

He shook his head. "You wouldn't understand."

"What, you're doubting my intelligence?" he snapped.

"Hiro, you're embarrassing me," Kagu said, sighing.

"He has a shorter temper than Lei," Ayawamat mumbled.

"True," I whispered.

"Who is Lei?" he snapped.

"My nephew is like this?" Euphonium asked, trying not to laugh.

"Sometimes," I said, sighing.

"My brother is too. Doesn't help he has a complex about his height just like Lei and Hiro here," Adela said.

Hiro gritted his teeth together. "Why you... I don't have a complex!"

Kagu covered her face. "We're doomed..."

"Anyway, let's start the battle!" Euphonium shouted. "Begin, the final match! Xian versus Wahkan versus Tora!"

Hiro charged at Adela with his axe but her teammate stopped the weapon with his bare fingers alone. The handsome man grunted as he was pushed back.

"Don't underestimate them," Adela said. "Tora didn't get this far by playing games."

"We should heed those words too," I said, watching Kagu. She moved higher and higher. I couldn't leave Ayawamat, or else Hiro's space or time magic would affect him, assuming the shorty had said powers.

Ayawamat held his hand out, unleashing a host of locusts on Adela.

The High Priestess grinned. Iron spikes manifested around her and slashed through the locusts.

Aya grunted. "Dodge!" he yelled at them. Green prana radiated from his hands, surrounding the fallen locusts. Their bodies reformed.

"Amazing," I uttered, eyes wide.
