Volume 8 Chapter 34: Keith Vs Carolyn



Volume 8 Chapter 34: Keith Vs Carolyn 

 

Keith and the others headed to class with a deep look etched on his face. It was because they had the magic midterms. You got people like Alfia and Scarlet who were relaxed. Then you got people who were worrying, like Herrick and Melor. Shire arrived at the class, "Today's midterm is simple. You guys will be facing off against one another," 

"..." It was a do-or-die situation for everyone!

"Here are the names of your opponents," Shire grinned as they were formed before them.

"Let's do this."

"You two are way too pumped," Alfia and Scarlet acted like two energetic bunnies. Whoever pulled them was in for trouble. 

"Who am I fighting against?" Keith glanced at the board.

"You will be fighting against me," Turning around, Carolyn had a composed look as she stared at him.

"..."

"Surprised?"

"Wouldn't this be the first time you and I fight?"

Keith thought, "If you don't consider the practices where I always beat you, then yeah, this will be the first time we fight," They had faced one another many times before. But this would be the first time they would fight officially.

"I will beat you this time!"

"If you can," Keith grinned. But the princess continued to have a calmness like water.

"..." What are we watching right now?

"Gabriel, Bob, you're up!" Shire called out.

"Good luck out there," The other cheered them on. 

"Mmhmm," Gabriel went out, and his opponent was from A-class. Oh, this could be interesting. From what he could tell, this guy was a decent mage. 

"Go! Earth boulders!" The mage used a mid-level spell, sending boulders at Gabriel. However, 

"Wind blade," Gabriel fired off some blades of wind, slicing the boulder in half. A swift and quick defeat; the other guy was sent flying. 

"This was just a bad match-up." Earth was horrible against wind magic. Moreover, Gabriel was also a class above him in everything. It was just horrific. 

"...It shouldn't be this easy," Alfia blinked. Gabriel one-shot the student without allowing him to make a second move.  

 

"It shouldn't be. But I guess it's because we've been practicing for quite some time now." That could be why everyone was much stronger than the rest.

"The students are training as well. I think it's because we've been eating delicious food; our body could keep going at a constant pace." Krystal thought about it. The meals Keith cooked were nutritious and filling. Their bodies would always be more invigorated despite the training. To top it off, the lemon tea had reduced their fatigue.

Fatigue and exhaustion were off the table. That also meant more time to train and work out. Other students worked four hours while they worked seven. 

 

"It's all because of you." Everyone glanced at him.

    

"I did nothing of the sort. I just made good food." Keith shrugged. But as he said this, the others went forth, and it was a stomp. That was when Keith and Carolyn got up.

 

"Now, this is a match-up!" Herrick muttered; his eyes were filled with excitement. Despite all of that worrying, he had beaten his opponent. 

"Um," Melor agreed. The match between other students was a mismatch. The ones Gabriel and the rest fought against were from A-class. It was not a fair fight in a way. But this was going to be two S-class students.

"Keith is probably going to win this," Jack muttered. If they were talking about techniques and basics, Keith was a notch higher than everyone.

 

"Don't forget that Carolyn has that special magic as well," Scarlet commented. Carolyn's fire magic was on par with hers. However, she recently obtained that magic, which was more powerful than that. It was not something that could be undermined.

  

"I think she could win if she could catch him off guard." Even Keith would be thrown a loop if you do something he never expected. 

 

Keith and Carolyn stood across from one another,

 

"Magic only, understood." Shire reminded.

 

"Yes!"

 

"Begin! The first move came from Carolyn as she quickly chanted, raining starlights down on Keith. A swift response came as he tapped the ground, forming earth walls.

 

CRASH! That was not enough as the walls were shattered, and the starlight flew towards the boy. Keith quickly dodged. So, a regular earth wall isn't able to block it. 

The starlight continued to chase after the man; his only response was to create earth walls. It may look like a steamroll. However,

"The real battle is going to start soon." Faelyn understood; Keith was gauging Carolyn. He was slowly increasing the density of his earth walls, figuring out the perfect density to block those starlights. 

Carolyn, on the other hand, continued to fire off starlights left and right at full power. 

"Can she really do that continuously?" Sarah questioned. That kind of magic required a lot of mana. 

"She wants to finish Keith off as soon as possible." Fighting against Keith for so long, they tend to understand the other's actions pretty well. It was clear that man would make a move once he found an opening. But that was why Carolyn needed to take him out quickly. During that time of analysis, end him!

 

"Stars that glimmer throughout the night sky..." Carolyn started to chant. As she did, a small galaxy began to form in the sky. The others were quite intrigued. 

"...Is that grand-level magic?" Sarah blinked as she turned to Alfia. It felt higher than high-level magic.

"...Similar yet not quite." The elf frowned.

 

Shire frowned and was prepared to stop it. But Keith shook his head at him. Millions of light rain down, destroying everything on the ground. But when she thought she had won,

"Checkmate." Keith had his hand pointed at her neck.
