Kapitel 83: Impossible
The nobleman lost his head and attacked with a hook using his right hand. Unfortunately for him, Kayden was as calm as a river in winter and easily capitalized on this slip with a feint in the opposite direction and a well-aimed blow to the nobleman's neck.
One mistake was enough for the fight between the two to end.
"5 seconds", Kayden didn't even think before running to help Astolfo who had a bleeding leg and was limping, several cuts could be seen on his body caused by the metal darts.
The boy started with a concentrated beam directly at the metal wizard and high speed arrived behind him, his interruption caught the three by surprise, but Astolfo was the first to recover and engaged in an attack on the metal user.
It was fast and deadly, hitting his neck, this was only possible because of the surprise factor of the spell and Kayden hitting his opponent squarely. The other wizard found himself surrounded by two opponents as his ally was pulled away by the judge.
Quickly, Kayden tried to go after him but was stopped by a wave of lightning, even though he dodged, some were too many for him to be able to approach cleanly.
"2 seconds", he didn't have much time. Using all the remaining mana, he threw a concentrated beam at the opponent, which was considerably stronger than the ones coming towards him.
Like a hungry beast, his spell opened space between the opponent's attacks until it reached the wizard, it was so fast that he couldn't even dodge it, along with that lightning came more from Astolfo.
"Stupid", the boy thought when he remembered that he was avoiding using spells that could be used against himself and now his body was being attacked by dozens of his spells.
His mind simply shut down from the amount of lightning that was falling at him, before his body could fall to the ground, he was caught by the judge.
"Victory for Kayden's team", the judge's voice resounded, putting an end to the fastest fight in the championship, it was only 30 seconds and, on top of that, it was two against five, that was more than impressive, it was unbelievable.
Kayden's body fell to the ground, he couldn't even lift a muscle, this spell simply destroyed his muscles and mana veins. The principle was the same as transcendence, but the difference was that, while transcendence worked by overloading your mana veins, this new spell was overloading the veins and letting some of it escape into your body.
The mana loose in him gave an insane boost to all his abilities, but it came at a crushing price. If Kayden went beyond thirty seconds, which was the time he defined as safe, his entire body would be poisoned.
Mana poisoning was very common and caused a type of tissue necrosis. Therefore, this spell was only used in the last cases, both because of the risk and the consequences.
Even after being healed by the judge, Kayden couldn't move properly, it felt like he had been fighting for weeks on end, and his tiredness was simply abnormal.
"Want a hand there?" Astolfo asked as he pulled Kayden to lean on his shoulder.
"Thanks, my technique is a little too much for me at the moment," Kayden gave a smile of happiness, they had done it.
As soon as the officer arrived, the five were gathered together again, the three avoided the two's eyes throughout the journey, Kayden also didn't bother talking, no matter what happened, he already knew that this team was doomed to collapse now.
"Kayden!" Carlos called in a voice full of emotions, "I'm sorry, but fear paralyzed me, I'm sorry!!!" Carlos bowed in apology.
"Sorry!" Maria bowed too.
"Sorry!" Jean did the same as both of them.
Kayden was a little surprised but accepted the apology without any problems.
"Don't worry, I don't hold any grudges," that was true, "but... I'm not going to be with this team anymore, I'm sorry about that," Kayden chose to be honest with his intentions.
"I made a mistake, Kayden, but you can be sure I won't do that next time", Jean, the person who spoke and discussed the least, spoke first, but from his tone what he said was not very reliable.
"I'm sorry, but I can't trust you again, what if it was the final? I would miss a decisive moment in my life and I wouldn't be able to do anything, I can't fight tomorrow, if you want you can go."
With that, the three remained silent, they had no way to retort and they didn't even think about fighting alone the next day. In the end, their fear caused them to miss one of the best opportunities of their lives, they knew they couldn't get here alone.
"Kayden!!! Astolfo!!!" the school principal shouted as soon as they landed in the VIP area. "What a majestic fight, I have never seen such beautiful technique in my life! Astolfo and Kayden, what phenomenal tenacity! That was an 8th-rank knight, splendid boys, splendid!" The director's voice was full of joy and he was full of praise for both of them.
Even the other students in the school were congratulating them, their team was the only one that made it to the second phase. Normally, one team entered the second phase and only one.
This year, he didn't expect it to be Kayden's, since Astolfo left the first-ranked team, he didn't have much hope of excelling this year.
"Do you already know how you're going to fight tomorrow?" the director asked anxiously.
"Unfortunately we won't be able to, director, Kayden and I are unable to fight due to the rebound of our spells." With his sentence, the director's face fell, he went from heaven to hell in a second.
"Oh, what a shame, what a shame." The man repeated this phrase at least a few more times without believing the answer he got from Astolfo. "At least you can use the championship reward."
"Reward?" Kayden wasn't aware of this and decided to ask Astolfo later.
A few minutes later, the mayor appeared in the center of the arena again.
"Hello again, I hope everyone enjoyed our event, we came to an end today, but tomorrow we will have the most exciting part with the grand finals, I hope everyone is here again!" With that sentence, the first day of competition ended definitively.
They followed the same path to leave the arena, this time it was in the opposite order, with Kayden's team leaving first. Everything seemed normal until they reached the large wooden doors.
The atmosphere between Kayden's team was tense, Kayden and Astolfo were on one side and the other three on the other, it seemed that that small betrayal decreed the end of the friendship they had.
Now it was possible to feel the ground shaking before even leaving the stadium. As soon as the door opened, Kayden was met with at least triple the number of people waiting for them.
"Look at me, Kayden, what technique did you use?" one of the reporters caught the boy's attention.
"Astolfo, was that your family's spear art?" another reporter asked as he tried to exit the limited public area.
Kayden didn't know what to do for a few moments, there was such a mess of people getting his attention that he couldn't pay attention to any of them.
"Astolfo, you little shit !!!" a voice stood out from all the others, as soon as Kayden followed the direction of the voice he saw something he didn't expect in his wildest dreams. Astolfo's master was floating with a bloodthirsty look in the air.
