A day passed after the captains of the two teams went each to his way.
Now they were standing facing each other again in the arena, glaring and sneering that's all these two exchanged.
Everyone one of them was at the head of the other, reading each other's thoughts and playing who acts first loses.
The line-up was Jon who stood in the middle holding no weapon and wearing a scaled cuirass on a mage robe.
Wulfur was wearing his full armor for the first time on the arena, a heavy steel armor with his 'High Dam' shield, in his hand was not the flail but Jon's hammer 'Agni-Ra'.
Battle-Born was wearing the same scaled cuirass as Jon's, it has a good resistance to magic so it will be of use this match, he surprisingly was holding a bow, and his sword was sheathed.
On the other side, Rusning and his team were on their top readiness. They didn't just wear robes, they also brought staves.
They wanted to go all out and crush the hurdle known as 'White Wolves'.
As most of the 'White Wolves' were warriors, Jon could guess that these staves were 'Ice Spick' staves.
He was really not worried, he has already enchanted Wulfur's shield with 'Resist Magic' enchantment and gave Wulfur and Battle-Born capes of 'Frost Resistance'.
He already foresaw every move the opponent will do, and also was hoping that they will surprise him.
As the mages of around the arena made their barrier, and the judge said instructions, 'White Wolves' and 'Aracana Wisdom' stood on the arena three to three.
Team White Wolves, as usual, had the two Jons and Wulfur.
Team Aracana Wisdom had Rusning as the leader and the one who could use Adept level destruction magic, Svefna the girl who can charge spells for long times, Svadall the boy who can aim magic to two different directions with his two hands without missing the two targets.
Outside the arena was Jolma the machine-gun and Holman the healer and the ward master.
After one falls Holman will come in to equalize then Jolma to put pressure on the White Wolves, that was the strategy and Jon saw through it.
As the judge gave the signal, team Aracana Wisdom took their formation and aimed their staves, it was a normal formation, team White Wolves were Jon at the front casting his ward with his left while Battle-Born stood on his back and looked cool.
As the judge said "Fight!" and jumped away, Rusning shouted "Fire!" and the team fired 'Ice Spikes' from their staves just as Jon predicted.
Jon was just standing and casting his 'Quadrant Ward' with his left hand and his right hand was behind his back with a lightning spell being charged on it.
A barrage of Ice Spikes fell on the ward and as the Frost Element was being dispersed by the ward, mist was forming from the way it was being blocked with.
Few seconds of firing Ice Spikes should be enough to put pressure on Jon but the only mist was forming more and more.
As mist blocked the view, Rusning signaled for his team to stop the casting, they kept looking at the mist as it was depressing waiting to see how their surprise attack would work on team White Wolves.
But what they saw made their jaws drop, Jon was standing the same as he was and his team was still the same, no one even moved once.
Sybille Stentor and Faralda opened their eyes wide, Jarl Idgrod laughed softly, these three were the most well versed three in magic between the spectators.
One must know that to block a spell with a ward, one needs to overpower this spell with his own Magicka, and Jon did overpower three staves with his Magicka alone, this was hard to be puffed by an artifact as it was connected to the nature of Magicka itself and Jon was a Nord and a human, however, his Magicka nature appeared to be on the level of elves.
Only these three could comprehend that, Rusning knew that Jon's Magicka wasn't something he can go alone against yet not this scary point, he devised the first move especially to put pressure on Jon.
Jon smiled and moved his right hand to his side and pushed it forward in a casting pose, fierce lightning broke out and headed towards the opponents.
The spell struck Svadall but it was too much for him and he shouted from pain, the spell didn't just do that, it bounced from him to Rusning and struck him hard, then it bounced at Svefna who screamed from the shock.
This was no 'Lightning Bolt' spell, this was 'Chain Lightning' spell, unlike the game where it only bounces on one target, in real life, it can bounce for any number as long as it was charged with enough Magicka, and Jon just mastered it two days ago.
"Damn! That guy is a monster!" Svefna said, she could speak as she took the least damage from the spell, Svadall, on the other hand, was already on one knee.
"No time to chat, next phase quickly!" Rusning gave orders and made the next spell.
They took distance from each other and started with next spell which was already being cast, every one of them has summoned a frost atronach.
"Let's move." Jon called to the heavily armored Wulfur and the light armored Battle-Born.
Wulfur nodded and walked to the atronach on the left, Battle-Born started running to the side.
Battle-Born started harassing the other team with arrows, and Wulfur clashed head-on with a frost atronach.
Jon made two spells and summoned two Fire Atronachs.
The people were cheering for the show, the amount of magic they saw during the last few days made them able to identify the magic on their own.
Now, there were 11 figures on the arena clashing and shooting spells at each other, Wulfur was standing his ground against a frost atronach alone and hitting it with a fire enchanted weapon, he was doing good on his own. Battle-Born shot arrows and pushed the mages from their ground.
Jon started using 'Lightning Bolts' and fought with three mages on his own.
They started changing the element against him from Ice to Fire as it would do more damage, Jon dodged and shot lightning again and again.
Rusning started targeting Wulfur and Battle-Born on his own, he wanted to eliminate someone then focus his team's power on Jon.
As Battle-Born ran out of arrows he switched to sword and ran to Jon and hid behind him, team Aracana Wisdom could finally take a little breath. Jon's fire atronachs were focused on the other frost atronachs.
Jon could find a clear way to run forward with Battle-Born behind him, then he cleared the way for Battle-Born.
Battle-Born ran and dodged nimbly, he was fast, so fast that people started to wonder, he could jump and do moves like Jon too.
Actually, Jon started teaching Battle-Born some moves to dodge while rushing forward to avoid arrows and spells.
Battle-Born could make his way through spells under Jon's cover fire, he reached Svadall and attacked him with a body clash.
Svadall was carried by Battle-Born's push and was sent to the air, there was no mercy as it seemed the Jon thought him how to strike the head with a knee.
Svadall fell unconscious to the attack and Battle-Born escaped back, Wulfur has finished a frost atronach on his own and was moving to the next to find it crumbling and being unsummoned, he just ran to the next one.
The pressure on Aracana Wisdom increased and Rusning called for Holman. As Svadall was being carried back, Holman ran in and conjured a frost atronach to lessen the pressure.
Holman healed Svefna and Rusning who were firing spells at Jon, Jon hid behind the barrier and retreated slowly.
"We are being pushed!" Rusning was annoyed by the situation.
"Give me time!" Svefna said and returned behind, Holman took her place and started spamming spells.
Rusning looked at her and saw what she was doing, he knew her specialty and didn't talk, he can't dishonor the determination of his teammate.
Svefna charged an 'Ice Storm' spell and dual-casted it on both hands, she then started to overcharge it.
'Overcharging' was a technique used when a mage starts to put more Magicka than usual in a spell, in a destruction spell that was dangerous as one could lose control and the spell would explode yet that was Svefna's specialty.
"Now cover me!" She said and started running to the side, Rusning and Holman could already see what she was thinking and ignored protecting themselves to provide more cover.
Jon could see the change in phase and noticed Svefna's moves, She lined herself to face the three opponents of White Wolves at once, then she let go of her spell.
Jon opened his eyes wide from the size of the spell, he was busy blocking Rusning and Holman who started casting magic like madmen and now a spell that size was heading for him.
It was too late to manipulate the ward to block it, the best way was to avoid it.
"Incoming! Avoid!" Jon warned Battle-Born who was behind him and Wulfur who was busy with a frost atronach.
Svefna saw the situation and smiled "You think I'll let you have your way!" She shouted.
It appeared that the frost atronach Wulfur was fighting was hers, she controlled it and made it throw its all weigh on Wulfur to pin him down.
"Wulfur! Avoid!" Battle-Born Shouted at Wulfur but it was too late.
Jon and Battle-Born could already avoid the Ice Storm yet Wulfur who was pinned down took the full force of it.
Jon knew that Wulfur's shield and cape should save him in this kind of situation but to see his best friend take a spell like that made blood rush to his brain and he called a 'Lightning Bolt' spell and fired it on Svefna.
Svefna's last attack was a suicidal one to damage team White Wolves and let Jolma in, sure enough, she was ready to be attacked.
Jon's 'Lightning Bolt' struck her body and sent her to the ground, yet she was still controlling the frost atronach to not let it off Wulfur.
A breath later, the frost atronach on Wulfur exploded and a hammer could be seen coming from it, this was 'Agni-Ra' at the hands of Wulfur dealing the last blow to the frost atronach.
Svefna saw that and said "Dammit!" then lost her consciousness as her Magicka ran out and she was beaten up badly.
The judge made a fast announcement and signaled for healers to get her out, also Jolma was running in.
Wulfur was panting from exhaustion and was standing on one knee leaning at the hammer.
There were no atronachs left so Jon said "Rest now!"
As Julma reached her teammates, they tightened their defense and made preparations to make an attack on their opponents with Jolma's speed casting and Rusning's powerful spells.
Jolma cast a spell and another atronach appeared, Luckily her team was short on Magicka and they can't afford to conjure more, Jon now had Battle-Born and two flame atronachs, and Wulfur was resting.
"We need to surround them, an atronach will follow you and fire at them, another will face the new atronach and draw it away, I will take a side, you go right I go left." Jon made a plan and said, "Once you take their attention, move out of the way, I'll do a big one."
"Good luck!" Battle-Born said and moved.
The people cheered from the strong exchange between the teams, this time team White Wolves was facing a strong opponent and made their best moves, even if that was a mage's match, it was an excellent match, no one could move their eyes away even the Jarls of Windhelm, Winterhold and Dawnstar who hated magic.
Team Arcana Wisdom had Holman as the ward caster in the front to protect them from Jon's spells, Rusning was on the right of Holman and Jolma was on his left.
Jon ran to the left at Rusning's side, Battle-Born ran to the other side and started dodging and jumping with nimble acrobatics, Jolma was spamming spells at him and he would throw stones at her if he could while trying to get close.
Jon, on the other hand, was controlling two atronachs, holding Holman in place with one, drawing away the new atronach with another, and he was exchanging spells with Rusning and pressing him bad.
Faralda, Sybille Stentor and Jarl Idgrod were admiring what they were seeing, the level of control was hardly achieved by anyone in that age, he was managing all his team and summons while attacking. If Jon heard them talking about that he would say 'Playing Fifa was harder!'
Rusning and his team looked like some heroes from a certain movie who were defending each other backs while taking attacks from all sides. [A/N: Avengers: Age of Ultron, the last fight scene around the device thing.]
"Holman! I am running out of Magicka, a hand here" Rusning shouted.
"That fire atronach is so annoying I can't face it with a hand." Holman complained.
"Jolma?!" Rusning asked.
"This guy is too slippery, I can't hold him or leave him be!" Jolma who reached a deadlock with Battle-Born shouted.
Rusning thought and made a decision, he said "Move!" as he backed away from his confrontation with Jon and aimed at Battle-Born, then he cast a big fire magic squeezing the last of his juice with it.
A 'Fireball' flew at Battle-Born who was not making a good footing and exploded right next to him, his defense was not up and Jolma could damage him a few times from their last exchange.
He could see the fire turning from a spell to explosion, he barely looked at the guy who carried the same name as him and shouted "You turn!" while getting blown away and falling unconscious!
Jon saw that and hardened his resolve.
He had to make a move now, he moved like a ghost nearer and nearer to the three opponents.
Jolma was focusing her attention on him and was readying a spell.
Jon who has rolled and reached a far location was standing three meters away from team Aracana Wisdom.
Too close, too daring, mages like Jolma can be dangerous at that range as their accuracy will be better.
Some started shaking their heads from the bad decision.
Some started thinking about how Jon's mistake costed his team its first loss.
Some were happy or sad for their bets that was confirmed right in front of their eyes.
Some were really worried at Jon.
Yet what Jon did was speaking two words.
Two words, made the time stop.
Two words, made everyone lose their senses.
Made everyone wish to question their own sanity, yet they didn't have the chance as the words they heard were loud and clear.
Elisif hugged Torygg from the shock.
Idgrod jumped back from the scare her gifts couldn't foresee.
Ulfric couldn't hold his goblet and it fell from his hands.
Balgruuf opened his mouth and an egg could pass through it.
Even the cool-headed Skadi was struck-dumb and couldn't believe what she saw or heard.
None of these reactions were overreacted.
They all were on spot.
The two words said by Jon just were too scary that everyone was struck with fear of what they saw after them.
Jon spoke and the world obeyed.
Space was moved and power was unleashed.
Half of Solitude heard those two words.
They were "FUS RO!"

[A/N: This is the second chapter that comes to you by the good graces of Alex Martz on Patreon, @Drthrottlejr on Discord.]
[A/N: There are a bunch of important notes at the end of the chapter.]
*************************************
"FUS RO!"
These words that turn the voice into raw power, pushing aside anything or anyone who stands in its path.
They were not the complete shout, they missed the last word 'Dah' which meant Push.
'Fus' means 'Force', 'Ro' means 'Balance'.
The three words altogether would unleash a mighty force that would push away anything and anyone like a blast.
Yet, Jon only used the first two words for two reasons.
The first reason is, the first two words are enough. The might of the three words together in real life is too much different than what was in the game.
The first word can push an adult man across a room, the second will send him flying for a short distance, yet the third word may actually kill a man, the third word itself carried much more power than all the other two words that it would send a man flying like a ragdoll and might break his body or cause him to hit something really hard, it shouldn't really kill a man if only he was lucky enough or strong enough.
The second reason was that Jon couldn't master the third word yet, he could comprehend the words of power because he saw them and he could understand their meaning due to the experience of playing the game, he knew all the shouts from the game yet mastering only two words in one year was his limit, even the hero of the game could master only one word per fulfilling a certain condition.
These were his reasons for not using 'Dah', he couldn't and if he could he may have killed these opponents.
The power was unleashed from Jon who was only three meters away from his opponents, this distance was enough for him to devastate them from this distance.
Jolma was the closest to the shout and she was being pushed away with its power, Holman was just beside her fending against Jon's fire atronach, he was completely exposed from his side and was caught off-guard too.
Rusning who just blasted Battle-Born away could see what was happening yet he couldn't go anywhere, his power was depleted and was staggering even before the shout could reach him.
On the spectators' side, Skadi, Bjorna and Svidi were screaming alongside the other spectators.
Around the arena, the mages who were maintaining the ward barrier couldn't just leave the barrier and run, all they could do was to close their eyes and crawl ready for impact.
The participants' seats were no better, Jon was facing them so they felt like the shout was actually heading for them and starting jumping away.
The VIP area, as usual, suffered the most. Elisif was completely on Torygg's lap. Idgrod, for the first time around people, looked surprised. Ulfric stood, rushed and stood at the rail ahead of the VIP area holding onto it. The other Jarls suffered again from the same damn youth who always made their hearts jump yet this time was the hardest surprise.
This was just too absurd, most of the people heard the legends about the words of power, the Voice, the Thu'um, the ancient language of the dragons, few people understand that power, fewer witnessed it, it was noted that last time the Thu'um was used in battle was at 4E-176 at the Forsworn rebellion when the city of Markarth fell to the natives of the reach, at that time, Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak led a band of Nord warriors and retook the city from the natives, this happened during the Great War.
The man himself was present and witnessed the shout of Jon being performed in front of him, he was the only Voice Master known under High Hrothgar, but now, there are two.
The time that stopped in the minds of many people started to flow again and the results of the shout were vividly seen.
Jolma and Holman were flying back, Rusning was a bit away from the center of the force unleashed so he only fell hard on the ground and rolled back. As Jolma and Holman fell down, the force wave continued to advance and hit the barrier, dispelling a part of it and sending the mages to their knees, then the wave was depressed after its power was depleted.
Team Aracana Wisdom which was finally starting to take advantage in battle with the heavy price of two of its members, was devastated beyond recovering.
Jolma and Holman were on the ground unconscious, Rusning whose power was depleted due to physical and magical exhaustion was still conscious but was panting for breath.
On the other side, Battle-Born was eliminated, Wulfur was not able to move due to strong frost damage, and Jon was sitting on the ground while panting from exhaustion. All the atronachs were dispelled.
The judge was not planning to enter anytime soon but few brave healers ran in to check on the unconscious and ran out carrying them.
"That.. was.. crazy.." Rusning said was panting and moving his body, he could stand in a staggering pose.
"This.. was.. really.. good.." He said, he took and deep breath and looked at Jon, "I am not done yet, a mage is always prepared."
As he finished saying that he took out few papers from his robe, Jon's eyes shrunk, these were scrolls and he could barely stand up now.
Scrolls are magical documents that can be used to cast spells. Anyone can use a scroll, regardless of magic skill, and casting a scroll does not use any Magicka. However, each scroll can only be used once.
Now, Rusning was having four scrolls in his hands, he took one and opened it with hand speed and skill then fire could be seen on his hand, he did that then cast the spell all in one second.
A ball of fire flew toward Jon which appeared to be a 'Fireball' spell, it flew with speed at Jon who was defenseless at this moment, he tried to call his 'Quadrant Ward' yet it takes time to switch between spells.
Jon's eyes were on the fast spell that was about to hit him the next second.
Suddenly a shadow covered him, a shadow so big that it covered all the light of day that fell on him.
This was Jon's number one partner in crime and his right-hand man, Wulfur, making his coolest entrance ever.
He stood in front of Jon then positioned his large shield the 'High Dam' and with it, he took the spell head-on.
The explosion could be heard and Wulfur shouted from the power carried by it, he looked at Jon and shouted "I can take this ba***rd for a couple more times, hurry up and finish him."
Jon was in a daze from what he saw yet he got himself together and cast a spell he could cast in his state towards the sky, a specter bird flew from it as the second impact arrived, Wulfur shouted from the pain again.
Rusning was no polite to the friends of yesterday at all, he could see Jon running out from the cover of the shield and aimed the third 'Fireball' at him.
A large blast occurred as it seemed that Rusning added some of his last Magicka to empower the spell, he was waiting to see the result.
Wulfur was blasted away by the spell and fell unconscious to the side.
Through the fire of the explosion, a figure jumped making his arm into X shape to protect his face, his eyes were as that of a wild beast that was unleashed at a prey and his smile was wide and full of madness.
Now the confrontation was only between Jon and Rusning.
Jon started running right in a straight line towards Rusning not thinking of dodging anything, Rusning was readying himself to fire the last scroll right at the madly advancing Jon.
It was the last hit of the match, Jon was using his body as the last resort he can use right now, the after effect of using the Thu'um was making it hard for his mind to control his Magicka or make another spell. On the other hand, Rusning was firing his last bullet at the opponent who was advancing.
Rusning and Jon were smiling from the thrill, Rusning shouted, "Haha! Come at me!"
He was about to fire his spell directly at Jon, Jon was not showing any sign of defending as if he would run through it.
The spell was just about to leave from Rusning hand at the closest distance he can afford to not harm himself, yet something happened.
A bird! No, a spectral falcon appeared from the side of Rusning and caught his stretched hand that was about to shoot the spell and pulled it away, the spell was fired yet to complete a different direction from where it should be aimed at.
Hitting the spectral falcon with his other hand Rusning saw something not too good for him.
Jon was already two meters ahead of him and was flying.
Jon a few seconds ago controlled the familiar her conjured behind Wulfur while charging at Rusning and disturbed the scroll he was about to cast.
Jon reached a good point jumped with two legs and rotated himself midair, his legs were facing Rusning and were ready to kick.
He let himself get closer and kicked with all his might at Rusning.
Even though Rusning was a Nord and had a strong body, he was a mage who didn't train physically that much, as he received the kick he was launched away by it.
Both boys fell with no strength after the last exchange, they officially arrived at their limit.
*********************
The people were standing on.
The VIPs were standing.
The Judge didn't really want to go in the arena but he was glared at by everyone.
The three boys on the arena were lying down and not moving.
The judge ran in with healers behind him.
The nearest one was Wulfur, the judge checked on him and signaled that he was unconscious.
Next was Rusning who was lying on his front and Jon who was lying on his back.
The judge reached Rusning and signaled he was unconscious.
Team White Wolves fans cheered yet the team was not out of the woods yet.
The judge headed to Jon, if Jon was unconscious then this match may end as a draw, this will break the hearts of many fans.
The judge reached Jon and was about to check on him, suddenly Jon who was lying on his back raised his upper half in a sat while looking around.
The judge was frightened and screamed in an embarrassing voice.
Jon and the healers looked at the man with strange eyes.
The judge made and 'Ehem!' and looked at Viarmo and signaled.
Viarmo cleared his throat and said, "I hereby declare team 'White Wolves' the victors of this match."
********************************
[A/N: First thing, thank you guys for the amazing support you have shown.
Second, It's about the name of the novel, I feel that it's not attraction people or the competition started becoming much more heated with the other novels, last week we were on the top 20 now we are not, It really is important for me and I want more people to get attracted to it, I know my nameing skill is horrible, I am an author who uses name genereator after all.... So, I was thinking of renaming the novel, something that can make people more attracted to it not just as a fanfiction they mostly are not familiar with but as something that make thier eyes shine once they see it, something with the word 'Dragonborn' would be good so I'll ask both suggestions here and on discord.
Last thing it is about a suggestion I recived on Discord, we have an image section that we post imaginary stuff about the novel such as how the character look like and that. Now I think if any of the readers has any good drawing skill they can draw us something like the Legendry Axe that jon sketched at chapter 13. we want to start with that! it will make the novel much more fun and will give the people incpiration about how active and friendly we are on this novel.
Thank you, remain supportive, and hail lord Dragonborn.]
