After we won the director announced our victory and again the arena exploded into applause. Mary and I looked into the stands looking for my mother, Lily and Mary.

Once we found them, we waved at her, and they who noticed waved back.

We left the battlefield and went to the tent again, there the teacher was waiting for us.

"Good job, you are one step closer to the final." Said the teacher apparently quite proud of our efforts during the battles.

Now that all the battles were over, it was time to start another phase. In this new phase would only have 2 battles.

So we have a good chance of catching Mileny and Alyne at this stage.

We await the draw for the confrontation. Even the teacher was anxious about it, apparently she wanted us to win.

After a few minutes the director finished raffling the clashes.

"The battles are: Urib and Poul VS Mileny and Alyne, and the other battle is Endl and Mary VS Allen and Jessy." With Director speech, Mary breathed a sigh of relief.

Was Mary so scared to fight them both? I never thought I'd see Mary like this.

########

After about 30 minutes the first battle began.

The first battle was Urib and Poul VS Mileny and Alyne.

Mileny and Alyne went to the right side of the battlefield, and the other pair went to the opposite side.

"3 ... 2 ... 1 ... fight." Again the director shouted FIGHT with all his might, the director was very excited about this tournament.

By the time the director starts the fight, Alyne has already run straight for Urib.

"Fire arrow." Alyne unleashed a fire spell on Urib trying to hit his chest, but Urib threw his body to the left side, totally deflecting.

Urib managed to get in front of Alyne and attacked her with several sword attacks, but Alyne was stopping her attacks easily.

'These girls have a lot of combat experience.' I was watching this and was very surprised by their experience.

Urib, who was unable to make any attack on Alyne, was a little irritated and tried another plan.

"Ice arrow." Urib tried to hit a water spell on Alyne's leg.

Alyne easily dodged the magic, but the magic was just a distraction, so Urib took advantage of its opening and tried to hit the sword in Alyne belly.

But Alyne, who saw this, jumped back as she dodged Urib's attack.

"Fire ball." Alyne to divert some attention from Urib used a low-level fire magic.

That was interesting, she used magic to distract him to have some time to stabilize again.

Urib, who saw that it was only a distraction, ran quickly to Alyne and tried to attack her in every way, but Alyne always blocked her attacks with her own sword.

"Fire wall." Alyne who was glued to Urib while fighting used a level 3 spell.

Urib backed away from the fire, but Alyne didn't let him back down much, she went straight into him and began to strike attacks one after another.

Urib, who was already a little tired, was doing his best to contain Alyne's attacks, but to no avail.

Soon after, he fell to the ground helplessly.

#######

Mileny's fight was still going on, but it didn't go on long.

Mileny was totally superior in this battle, she knew how to use her spells very well and at the right time.

And besides, she had beautiful sword fighting techniques. Poul was doing his best to contain Mileny's attacks, but he couldn't make it.

Not even using spells could he hit Mileny in one attack, this fight was extremely one-sided.

"Mileny is very skilled with the sword." Mary next to me said as she admired Mileny's fight.

I just nodded and kept watching the battle.

"Wind blade." Mileny used a little wind magic, she seemed to want to get it over with faster.

Poul who was already a little tired like Urib could not dodge the magic, so he suffered serious damage.

Poul couldn't even stand upright after so much damage.

Mileny, who had no mercy, just picked up her sword and slammed it toward Poul's neck, then Poul was already unconscious on the floor.

"They are strong." Mary seemed quite surprised by their battle.

"Yes, they are strong." I said confirming because their are really strong.
