Chapter 15 - Rival lV

===========

Even though the move I used was supposed to be deadly, Timothy was In no real danger. The healers only handled the injuries that the barrier around the ring could not prevent.

The barrier protected us from any serious damage. In Oliver's case, he was thrown out of the barrier and crushed into the wall, therefore the barrier could not protect him.

After they attended to him and helped him up, I went over to him to thank him for the experience. He congratulated me for my victory. Soon after the exhaustion hit us both. We ended up using a lot of mana, almost to the point of the mana deficiency known as mana depletion.

I could not stand any longer and collapsed. Upon seeing this, the some of the healers rushed to my side and carried me down from the ring along with Timothy. The spectators cheered as we disappeared into the exit corridor. It was an amazing fight, the people thought.

[Kageno]

"Now that was so serious action, I have never seen that many high level spells casted in one match."

[Bernard]

"Well, if they had continued they would have destroyed the arena. And let us not forget casting to many spell my cause mana depletion. This a sickness cause by insufficient mana in the body and can lead to death."

"It has three stages. The first stage, one may feel exhausted to the point they can't move any part of their body. Second stage, severe body aches had pains, blindness, nausea and vomiting. Third stage, full loss of the five senses, and death."

[Kageno]

"Thanks for sharing that information with the first years, new student council president. That is it for now, see you in an hour. "

Back in the dressing rooms, I sat down on a bench to cool down and catch my breath. Timothy's injuries had been mended by magic and he was back to normal. He opened a locker and got out two water bottles and gave one to me.

Just then, Theodora came rushing through the door for our attention in the most exciting way see could. I stood up to receive it, "you guys were amazing! "She said. She seemed like she had completely over looked her incident and was back to usual self.

We had only only rested for a bit and were still tired. "Hold on, just give us a few minutes." She went and held Timothy who looked like he was about to collapse. "You pushed yourself a little too hard."[Theodora]

They both looked at me and her right eye, and his left eye glowed.

What is it? [Theodora]

You eyes are glowing.[Me]

Oh, that's just our universal eyes reacting to each other. [Theodora]

Universal eyes? [Me]

They're magical eyes the time dragon possessed before it was slayed by my father, Theo's uncle. [Timothy]

They are dragon eyes, from an actual dragon. I thought all mythical beasts were extinct. [Me]

Year, we don't know the full details either. [Timothy]

I did not really bother to ask more about them because they might be clan secrets, and revealing that much information might get them killed by the own clan. That is probably why they lied about not knowing the full details, or they really did not know.

The hour break had begun and the time was ticking. I suggested we continue to investigate and look for the suspicious man. But Theodora told us to forget it and insisted not look further into the case. "I'm pretty sure my father was joking when he told you to find who did it, " she said.

Surely enough, she convinced us. "My allowance is just came in, so how about we go out for dinner tonight. On me."[Theodora]

Timothy and I looked at each other and their was mutual agreement.

"I that case, I'm paying for the drinks. We can't let you pay for everything," I said. Timothy felt left out and convinced us to at least let him pay for the dessert.

Feeling excited, we all stepped out of the school and hopped on a cab to go into the city to a place Theodora knew since her childhood. It was well known for serving good food and it had a five star review from the King himself. We did no even bother to stay and watch the second half of the match day, I was too hungry for that.

An hour later, the second match of the day was about to begin. Claire really wanted to see me after the my fight and went to look around the school. At that time I had already gone out. After having no luck, she found the underground training centre and turned there in hopes of finding me.

Down there, she looked around the facility and even though it was clearly empty she still felt she had missed something. She quickly noticed there was something wrong with the wall behind the mana measuring crystal ball. That was the same room mana level was being measured when the first years came.

She got closer to it to investigate and discovered it was a fake wall that had been created by the special magic spell [conceal]. She walked through it without hesitation and at the other side was a straight narrow corridor, lit by floating deems of light.

Meanwhile, the official gave the signal and then the match started. Richard Mali summon a robotic gollum using [weapon summoning] and activated it with his mind. With his control, the mini gun on it's shoulder fired and bullets begun to rain towards his opponent Ben Sammy.

Ben at the same time summoned the earth spirit of metal using [spirit summoning]. As it was summoned through the magic cycle, it formed a shield with the liquid metal that revolved around it.

The liquid metal solidified just in time before the bullets showered into it. The bullets continued to pummel into the shield but did not seem to penetrate through.
