Raghnall smiled seeing dabi excited. "It will test your combat skills, teamwork, and strategic thinking.
Teams from various classes will compete against each other.
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience and recognition."
"Will there be any rewards?" Taro asked, his competitive spirit ignited.
"Indeed. The winning team will receive a substantial amount of gold and rare magical artifacts, along with the chance to train under top academy instructors for a month," Raghnall replied.
The group exchanged excited looks. "We have to enter!" Rina said enthusiastically.
"Absolutely," Dabi agreed, determination flooding his veins.
"This could be a great chance for us to prove ourselves and grow stronger together."
Zen nodded, his competitive nature shining through. "Let’s show everyone what we’re capable of!"
Raghnall nodded approvingly. "I expected nothing less from you.
The tournament will begin in two weeks.
Train hard, and remember to strategize.
You’ll need to work together to succeed."
As they left the headmaster’s office, the weight of the upcoming tournament loomed over them.
They decided to spend the next few days intensifying their training, focusing on honing their individual skills while also improving their teamwork.
Training Sessions:
Day 1: Dabi practiced using his Elemental Mastery in combination with Space Control, focusing on redirecting attacks and creating defensive barriers.
Day 2: Rina worked on her healing techniques, experimenting with enhancing her spells to heal multiple targets simultaneously.
Day 3: Taro refined his elemental attacks, focusing on developing new combinations that could complement Dabi’s abilities.
Day 4: Zen trained his abilities, trying to push his elemental skills to their limits, seeking ways to enhance his offensive techniques.
As the tournament approached, they began formulating strategies, discussing their strengths and weaknesses.
"I think we should have a well-balanced approach," Dabi suggested during one of their strategy meetings.
"I can create distractions with my space distortions while Taro launches his elemental attacks. Rina can support us with healing and buffs, and Zen can provide powerful ranged attacks."
Rina nodded, "That sounds like a solid plan. But we also need to practice our coordination so we don’t get in each other’s way during the fights."
Zen grinned, "And if things get tough, we’ll need to rely on our friendship and trust in each other."
With their strategies set, the quartet trained relentlessly over the next week, determined to give their all in the tournament.
As the day of the tournament finally arrived, Dabi felt a mix of nerves and excitement.
The academy grounds were buzzing with energy, students from different classes congregating to showcase their abilities.
"Let’s make a promise," Rina said, standing before her teammates.
"No matter what happens today, we’ll give it our best and support each other."
Dabi, Taro, and Zen nodded in agreement, their resolve strengthened.
"For victory!" Dabi declared, raising his fist.
With their spirits high, the four friends e
ntered the arena, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
As Dabi and his friends entered the arena, they were greeted by a deafening roar from the spectators.
The grandstands were filled with students, instructors, and dignitaries, all eager to witness the spectacle of the Astral Heaven Academy Tournament.
Banners of various teams fluttered in the breeze, each representing the different houses competing for glory.
The arena itself was a vast, open space with intricate designs etched into the ground, showcasing various elemental symbols.
Massive screens displayed the names of the teams, and a voice boomed over the speakers, announcing the start of the tournament.
"Welcome to the Astral Heaven Academy Tournament! Today, we celebrate strength, strategy, and camaraderie! Let the first match begin!"
Dabi’s heart raced as he scanned the arena, noticing the intense competition ahead.
They had drawn a challenging first match against a team from the Phoenix House, known for their exceptional teamwork and powerful abilities.
"Stay focused, everyone," Dabi reminded his friends. "We need to stick to our plan."
Rina nodded, adjusting her stance. "Let’s show them what we’ve got!"
As the match commenced, the opposing team emerged from the opposite side of the arena.
The leader, a tall girl with fiery red hair, stepped forward.
"We are the Phoenix House! Prepare to be scorched!"
The signal to start the match was given, and both teams charged forward.
Dabi activated his Elemental Mastery, channeling energy into his hands as he prepared to unleash a powerful elemental attack.
Taro quickly followed suit, igniting his fists with flames, ready to join the fray.
The battle erupted in a flurry of movements.
Dabi utilized his Space Control to create distortions that redirected incoming attacks from the Phoenix House, allowing Taro to unleash his fire-based abilities without fear of retaliation.
"Dabi, look out!" Zen shouted as an opponent lunged toward him with a sword engulfed in flames.
Reacting swiftly, Dabi created a space distortion that sent the attack off course, allowing Zen to counterattack.
"Nice save!" Zen exclaimed, firing a powerful energy blast toward the opponent.
As the match progressed, Rina demonstrated her healing prowess, providing support to Taro as he took a hit while engaging in close combat.
"You’re doing great! Just keep fighting!" she encouraged.
Dabi focused on maintaining control of the battlefield.
He strategically positioned himself to disrupt the enemy’s formations, creating openings for his teammates to exploit.
The teamwork between the four friends shone brightly as they coordinated their attacks, blending their abilities seamlessly.
"Now, Dabi!" Rina called out, signaling for him to unleash his strongest attack.
Dabi concentrated, channeling energy into a massive Elemental Burst, combining lava and thunder.
He unleashed the attack with a roar, sending a wave of destruction toward the Phoenix House.
The impact was tremendous, catching several opponents off guard and leaving them reeling.
"Let’s finish this!" Taro shouted, and together, they launched their final coordinated attack, overwhelming their opponents.
As the dust settled, the referee signaled the end of the match. "Victory goes to Dabi’s team!"

The four of them embraced, their bond strengthened by the experience.
