Chapter 62: The Final Trial (Part 2)

The sound of clashing metal rang through the air, each strike reverberating with intensity.

Cecilia's heart pounded in her chest as she and her opponent — the Magus of Light — traded blow for blow.

Her blade met his in a sparks of lightning, the force of each collision sending shockwaves through the battlefield.

She didn't hesitate, didn't falter.

Every strike was a testament to her resolve, her unyielding determination to not only win this battle but to secure her place in the Institution of Magic — and to make sure Kai's entrance was as smooth as possible as well as make her mark in the renowned Institution.

She couldn't afford to lose. Not today.

The battle between them was more than just a contest of magic; it was a clash of will.

Her opponent was no ordinary mage. Light surrounded him like an aura, weaving through his movements, coalescing into brilliant orbs that shot toward her with deadly precision.
