"What in the world happened! Can you believe it? The magical barrier has shattered due to the prowess of these two!" The caster said as he looked at the arena which was clouded in dust with excitement.

"Who won?!" The crowd started to ask as there was so much dust in the air.

"Who knows! But for all I can say, they both should win with how much power that they had shown!" The caster said as he focused on the arena as the dust was slowly but surely going away.

"And the winner is!" The caster said as everyone started to drumroll in anticipation for the winner.

"Who do you think won, Sylvie?" Laura asked her daughter.

"Lance. He had more power at the end there." Sylvie said as she looked at the arena.

"Oh god, how could these two break the magical barrier?" Maria said as she looked at the rest of them.

"For all I know, these two are gaining strength too quickly." Chad said as he looked at the arena.

"These two are just monsters! I can't even make a dent on the magical barrier yet!" Benji whistled as he looked at the two who were in the dust with amazement shown in his eyes.

"I am hungry, can they hurry up so we can go eat?" Sam said as he rubbed his stomach. Poor Sam hasn't gotten to eat due to how long the match was.

"Not yet Sam!" Maria said as she punched his head leaving a bump on it.

"Ow! That hurt!" Sam said as he held his head.

"Nnh..." Maal woke up as she felt the vibrations on the ground.

"And the winner is!" The caster started to say which riled up the crowd even more as they waited in anticipation.

"Just tell us who it is already!" People started to say as they couldn't wait any longer.

"The winner is... Lance!" The caster started to say as everyone could see Lance standing up as he princess carried an unconscious Elise.

"WOOOOO!" The crowd burst into cheers and cries as the tournament had finally come to an end with a winner.

"You got it going for you kid! Make sure you take it slow though!" Bits of the crowd started to say as they looked at Lance and Elise.

"Anyway, the badge ceremony will be hosted at evening! So make sure you all are there!" The caster said before he left.

"Alright, looks like it ends here Sylvie. We'll go meet your friend during badge ceremony." Laura said as she looked at her daughter before picking her up to leave.

"Un." Sylvie agreed as she let her mother take her back home to the carriage so they could prepare for the badge ceremony.

"Lance! That was great! You and Elise!" The group said as they jumped into the arena before hugging Lance.

"Yes yes, can you all let go before I drop Elise?" Lance said as he calmed them down.

"Alright, let me get a look at Elise." Maria said.

"Here." Lance said as he gave her to Maria gently.

"Ye know, maybe you should go marry her in a few years when you're both of age." Maria said as she looked at him.

"Er- I- I needa go." Lance said as he disappeared.

"HEY! COME BACK YOU COWARD!" Maria screamed.
