Their synergy was… flawless. I knew that water mage are pretty versatile class that could Take the role of both attacking to supporting. And their verity of attacks was also pretty terrifying. The blonde girl used whips made of water to push me to a certain locations, where the brunette would shoot small, very small, needle sized water bolts under high pressure. And to be hit by something like that was not a joke. I saw a piece of rock flying high in the air after being hit by it, and at the same time Ruby was the most annoying. She almost never attacked… it wasn’t her role in that formation. Of course occasionally some ice spikes flew my way, but what annoyed me the most was watching as ice walls were erected between me and the girl I targeted, making my explosive balls tear apart ice instead of flesh.

I almost lost myself and forgot I am not here to win. I could do it! Really! With a big dose of luck but it was not impossible! Yet I would be forced to use both nature and chaos spells… which I didn’t want to use. I am not here to win! Just to make a small show, struggle a bit, maybe perform a few nice attacks that would almost hit the target, and in the end withdraw.

I don’t care about rank, what I really wanted to achieve is to make myself look like a little genius that learns fast, and may be dangerous in the future, but not now.

I stepped back dodging a whip of water that smashed tiles on the ground, and while not stopping fluent movement I rotated myself changing direction, avoiding a few needles-bullets. And then small ice shard cut the skin on my cheek making small drop of blood appeared.

“Stop playing with us” Ruby whispered quietly. “Why the… fuck!... do you think” I was saying the sentence by parts, for I was not allowed to have a basic conversation between those savages “I am playing… with… you?... if you, FOR FUCK SAKE” a whip hit me in the back “know any… way for a fire mage” I needed to cast a fire wall to evaporate a whip. I didn’t like to use this method, because of the mist that was created by evaporated water was disturbing my field of vision “To fight with three… water mages… at same time, then I am listening!” “I know how you look like when you are focused! You are not even TRYING!” The last word was screamed as for a moment she stopped supporting her team, instead an ice spear was thrown at me, shattering in the place I was standing a moment ago.”

It wasn’t mindless attack casted in anger. Now I was standing between all three of them, For all this time I was trying to have them in more or less one place, to have them all attack from the same spot, the next things I saw were whips and water bullets flying in my direction.

This was a moment I was waiting for. The chance for a attack I wanted to show. I covered myself in the fire, made them a little more unstable and by using mana shock wave as trigger I spread the powerful ring of fire in all direction. The spell made by myself after the failure in the snake den. Flame-nova.

Water changed into steam making me completely invisible to my enemies. I changed my location by a few meters, and right away I was able to say it was a correct decision, for my previous location was being bombarded by water, ice, and god only knows what more.

I set something I called “fire seed” on the floor. It was yet another prototypic spell of mine I wanted to try. The fire seed was actually an explosive wisp, with a slightly changed structure. The normal wisp was a ball that could store fire to change it into light or an explosion, but this one was a bit more… violent. Instead of storing fire, it was more like accelerator, making everything inside of it travel and rotate faster generating friction, this friction was generating heat, and heat was generating fire.

So why calling it fire seed? In my predictions are correct as the heat inside the seed would hit critical value and would be forced outside the seed, we would have a beautiful fire flower erected to the air.

… it does not look like a flower. What I was seeing was more like burning, wriggling tentacle… maybe I have to change the name? But now… we have a nice source of fire we can bend to our will, why not to use it?

I quickly threw on the ground a few more seeds and injected them with a tiny bit of fire. Soon those would explode similarly to the first one.

I focused my attention on fiery tentacle and with a movements of hand I forced it to hit the ground were the Blonde was standing… some time ago.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT” By her scream I could tell it didn’t hit her. What a shame.

The heat of the fire made the steam movements faster, and soon I lost my vision cover.

“Nice trick you freak” Brunette hissed “But now you are done.” “Are you sure? Three… two… one…” I counted down with the smile. In the moment when “zero” should be said three more tentacles appeared from the seeds covering me from all sides. Now, the hard part. I am somewhat skilled in double casting, but here I had four “arms” of the spell, full manipulation was out of the question. I bended two arms to more or less cover me while using the other two to… using the word “attack” could be a little misguiding. “To be forced… to cast them… against a fire user…” The brunette was more than displeased. Soon I was able to see what she had on mind. She summoned a familiar. The other girls did the same.

So you have a familiar now, Ruby? And you are using it against me… You ungrateful wh… whatever. Let’s just keep playing.

The Blonde summoned some kind of ice tiger… small version, Ruby… a magic wyrm? And brunette … summoned… a thing… honestly, it looked like Asmodeus and Cthulhu had a baby. Lesser ice devil… good to know that not every devil is a terrifying abomination…

Wrym flew through time air, not even bothering to avoid the fire. It simply flew thought it. I also noticed that it flew partly through some rocks. Astral beings? So I can’t hit it directly… but neither it can do so… what do you want to do with that, Ruby? Distract me?

The little snake like being wrapped around my arm. That’s all?

Your mana is being drained

Your inner mana flow was disturbedYou have lost ability [Dual casting]

I have lost control over one of my tentacles that began to madly hit everything around, in same time lesser devil and ice tiger start breathing cold air at the other tentacle. And by cold I mean that not such a long time ago fire arm turned blue and shattered.

MOTHER FUCKER!

The other arms were put down the magicians themselves.

“Nice try, yet futile.” The blonde looked overjoyed and wanted to mock me a little. Who cares. I did what I wanted here. So now I am going to concede that I lost. It was still funny and I could experiment with my magic a little. And it was a good fight. So who cares? “That’s all you were able to do! The whole council was sooo afraid of someone as hopeless as you… they were afraid that you could be a threat! And you were put down by three little girls who barely finished the academy! You are a joke! And you deserve nothing! Go back to the hole you came from.”

I was surrounded by ice shard from all direction. Looks like they want to use a possibility of harming me as only they pleased, for I would not die…

But I didn’t care about pain. She said something interesting. I deserve nothing you say… I deserve nothing… I deserve nothing… I dese…. Yooou, little, arrogant…

“…. Worthless whore. IF ON THE WHOLE WORLD THERE IS SOMEONE, ANYONE, DESRVING EVERYTHING THAT WOULD BE ME!”

You heard her? HER!? THE FUCKING NOOBLE RAISED LIKE A DONUT IN BUUTER HAVING EVERYTHING EVERYTIME! SENT TO THE BEST ACADEMY IN THE COUNTRY AND MAKING HER FUTURE AS POSSIBLY EASY AS ONLY ONE COULD IMAGINE!... it is over. I don’t care about my cover, I don’t care about peace… I just want to see her in a bloody pond.

“This little charade is over…” The ice bolts were sent from all sides by those two girls to impale me from all directions. I clasped my hands and surrounded myself in the black mist. Not a single projectile hit me. Instead they hit the hard body of Greg I summoned to protect me.

They still haven’t seen me, for Greg in a semi kneeling state covered me with his tree-like body.

“He… summoned a tree?” In that moment Greg straightened his body showing both his face armed in shard teeth… and showing me. “My goddess”

The same black mist appeared several more times.

“Come to me, my brothers. Step out from the shadows.” Kaito howled “It is time for the hunter to become hunted. Oh, girl, you made it much more personal then it was supposed to be… Let the game begin.”

I said while covering my hand in miasma and grabbing the wyrm. It started to squeak in pain. It body changed from blue to violet, from violet to black, and finally turned grey, just to be shattered.

I think I will enjoy it.
