Chapter 25 - Chapter Twenty-Four: The Silent Genius - The Unbreakable Spear of the Stars

The Beginning of the Clash: Silver Mirage

The starting whistle blew, and Rena Desi wasted no time. She shot forth like a spark of light, using her unique magic: "Silver Mirage Magic: Dance of the Seven Ghosts." In an instant, her body split into seven identical copies, surrounding Castle-Koo from every direction, each wielding a silver blade that gleamed with murderous intent.

The audience held its breath. Hotaru cried out in alarm, "She's so fast! If someone of a lower rank were in his place, they wouldn't be able to tell the truth!"

But Castle remained standing, eyes closed, holding his long spear upright, like a marble statue in a royal garden. He didn't appear worried; instead, he emanated a terrifying calm.

Matsuo: I never imagined Union would possess a sleeping monster like this boy. What a presence this will soon have—truly terrifying, won't it, Clara?

Clara replied: That's right. He possesses the legendary spirit of the Mammoth. Ai: Emilia Rose, Kono Takahashi, Castle Ko, and the boy Ivan—it seems Union is determined to rival the Troy Empire in its personnel. We'll see what happens next.

Speaker: It's a fierce battle between a first-division recruit and a fourth-division member. We'll enjoy their fight. Royal Majesty: Axis Steadfastness

Rina (in a voice echoing from all directions): "The Magic of Multiple Illusions."

The seven clones swooped down on him simultaneously. Millimeters before the blades touched him, Cassel opened his eyes; these were not the eyes of an angry warrior, but the eyes of a Prince of Spirits.

Cassel (in a calm, measured voice): "An illusion remains an illusion... because it lacks weight." With a single hand movement, he spun his spear in a seemingly slow, but charged, circular motion with "Star Magic: Orbit of Static Gravity." Suddenly, a translucent golden pressure wave erupted from beneath his feet. The six phantom clones vanished instantly like dust in the sunlight, while the real Rina fell to her knees, feeling an immense gravity pressing down on her body, as if the entire arena were rejecting her presence.

The End: Blade at the Throat

Rina tried to rise, throwing a desperate blow with her magic, but Cassel, in a swift, unseen movement, plunged the tip of his spear into The ground recoiled behind her, then he used the power of the recoil to spin through the air with breathtaking magnificence, landing right behind her.

Before she could turn around, she felt the cool tip of the spear gently brush against her neck, without a scratch.

Everyone was stunned by what he had done.

Ivan: I see! Star Ether, huh? And the Ki technique, and also that legendary Mammoth Spirit.

The Emperor speaks: Castle, you've evolved too.

Among the crowd, a mysterious figure from the Diablos (Aramagon) organization silently observed the events of the grand tournament. He knew from his spies that security was at its highest level, as their current objective was to find the man known as the Black Wizard.

After attacks from the Fourth Division member, Rena, and her failed assault,

Castell said: "The duel is over. Your magic power is exceptional, but it's useless. Through the Ki technique, I saw what you did."

A profound silence fell over the arena. Castle did not use his legendary Spirit, he didn't let out a single cry, and nothing appeared

A drop of sweat was on his face. He had defeated an A-level member with a regal calm that instilled fear in the hearts of others.

Reactions: Stunned

On the grandstand, Matsuo Kagino stood in awe: "This kid... he hasn't even touched his true magic inventory. He's just toying with it!"

Ai, with a mysterious smile: "He has the discipline of kings. Union hides monsters we didn't even know about."

The spokesman announced, his voice trembling with excitement: "The winner... Castle Ko of the First Division!"

Castle walked calmly from the ring, ignoring the applause of thousands, his eyes momentarily fixed on Ivan.

After Castle Ko's victory, the spokesman said: "And now for another exciting matchup: Tristan Walter, a Wind Magic user from the Kingdom of Kong, versus Momiji Oka, a Fire Magic user from the Eighth Division, a half-human, half-fox-beast hybrid."

The spokesman: "Now, let's begin." The confrontation between them began amidst everyone's cheers, and Alice Frankenstein and her sister Sophia Frankenstein were talking.

Alice: Tristan is special, and his opponent isn't easy either.

Sophia: This competition is really exciting. There are some outstanding people in it, and I seem to like the boy from the First Division.

Alice: You too, Sophia. Even Elena hasn't gotten the boy from the Ninth Division out of her mind.

Sophia: I wanted to go there, but I had to do something else. And what Batury said about him is amazing. How did he do all that by himself?

Alice: I don't know.

The battle between Tristan and Oka was amazing; both fought brilliantly.

Oka: Fire magic, Iztarsi (Multiple Spears of Destiny).

She kept attacking the calm Tristan.

Then, what a moment!

Tristan: Wind magic, Void Vortex.

He unleashed a powerful attack on Oka, who was barely able to parry the blows. Oka: What magical power!

In a flash, Tristan defeated Oka to everyone's delight.

Hotaru: He's so strong! Everyone in the Kong Kingdom is powerful.

Rin: No wonder they're the vampire race.

Speaker: The third round has concluded with Tristan, representing the Kong Kingdom, emerging victorious. Now, ladies and gentlemen, for the fourth match. Third Division member Isami Watanabe will face Seventh Divis

ion member Fanyori Sotase.

The cheers erupted.

The excitement continues.
