Chapter 25: The Younger Brother and the Wizard Part 1
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN~! IT’S FINALLY TIMEEEEEEE!!!!”
Fray stands before Igni.
“He is a talent that is only born every 100 years!! Awakened with the [ULTIMATE LIGHT] Magic type!! His compatibility is a jaw-dropping [SS]!! He is the next “EXTREME” candidate….. FRAY!! TALCOYZ~~~~!!!!!!!”
“PLEASE WIN, FRAY!!!!” (female)
“YOU CAN DO IT, FRAY!!” (female)
“FRAY, PLEASE TURN THIS WAY!!!” (female)
“And his beautiful face attracts many women followers!! And standing across from him is this man!!!!”
Igni: (.........FRAY……FRAY IS SUPER POPULAR………..!!)
Igni felt himself shrivel up even before the fight began.
“He has only used [FIREBALL] up until now!! His [FIRE] compatibility is an unbelievable [F]!!! With just one spell, he has climbed his way up to victory!! THE DARK HORSE!! THE ONLY -- IGNIIIIIIIIIIIII~~~~~~!!!!!!!!”
“YOU CAN DO IT, IGNI~~~!!!” (male)
“YOU’RE OUR HOPE, IGNI!!” (male)
“SHOW THEM THAT YOU CAN WIN EVEN WITHOUT ANY MAGIC COMPATIBILITY!!!“ (male)
“BEAT AND REARRANGE THAT HANDSOME FACE OF HIS, IGNI!!” (male)
Igni hears the men cheer for him.
Igni: (..........No, I just have to win….!! Then I’ll be popular……..!!)
Igni’s determination to win slowly hardens.
It hardens into a solid diamond.
Fray: “Why is Igni, who can only use [FIREBALL], here?”
But with no knowledge of how Igni is feeling right now, Fray glares at Igni.
Igni: “Simple. It’s because I’m strong.”
Fray: “HA!! STRONG?! A Compatibility [F] trash like you?!”
Igni: “Yeah, I’m a [F]. I can only use [FIREBALL] too.”
Fray: “Well, I should consider myself lucky that it’s you, Igni. Now I can definitely beat ‘Puppeteer’ Elenoir’s shortest Final’s Fight record.”
Igni: “Nope. I’m the one that’s going to win.”
Fray: “A WEAKLING WHO CAN ONLY USE [FIREBALL] TALKS REAL BIG!!”
Igni: “It’s because I can ONLY use [FIREBALL], that’s why.”
The referee looks at both contestants.
Igni: “I <MA•STER•ED> my one and only spell.”
And Igni stated this fact plainly and clearly right in front of Fray.
Fray: “Mastered? MASTERED?!?!”
Fray’s expression darkens with rage.
Fray: “YOU!! THERE IS NO WAY YOU OF ALL PEOPLE CAN ‘MASTER’ A SPELL!!”
“Let the fight, BEGIN!!!!!”
With Fray’s angry retort, the match begins!!
Fray: “[ULTIMATE LIGHT SWORD AURORA • JINN]!!!!!”
A bright light flashes in Fray’s hand as he completes his incantation!!
The next moment, the foundation of where the audience was sitting, behind Igni splits in two!!
“Contestant Fray opens with a big move!!!”
Igni: “You missed!!”
But Igni already evaded Fray’s spell.
Igni: “[FLAME ARMOR - IGNITE]”
Igni concentrates his magic and…
Igni: “[LAUNCH - FIRE]!!!”
Fray: “[ULTIMATE SCATTERING LIGHT ARRAY AURORA • PRISM]”
A bright <FLASH> occurs and light scatters Igni’s [FIREBALL] until it disappears.
Igni: “Magic scattering! A high level magic defense technique!”
Fray: “Of course! I’m a Wizard genius!!”
As he runs around the field, Igni fires off multiple [FIREBALL]s!!
Fray: “You think that will work?! [ULTIMATE LIGHT AURORA • JINN]!!!!”
DON!! (*sfx heavy impact)
And behind Igni a large sound occurs.
Fray: “....HOW?! HOW ARE YOU <DOD•GING> IT?!”
Fray’s spells won’t even brush Igni.
Igni: “You’re too obvious. [FLAME ARMOR - IGNITE]”
Fray: “...........!! [ULTIMATE LIGHT BROADSWORD AURORA • BLADE]!!!!”
VUNN!! (*sfx air)
After the spell passes by, a sound of air vibrating hums for a second.
And the spell misses Igni, yet again.
Igni: “[ROTATE - SPIN]!!”
Fray: “[ULTIMATE SCATTERING LIGHT ARRAY AURORA • PRISM]!!!”
Igni: “[LAUNCH - FIRE]”
The [FIREBALL] leaves igni’s hands and flies forward.
The [FIREBALL] follows a wide curve avoiding the magic scattering defensive spell, and makes contact with Fray…….!!
ZUDON!! (*sfx heavy impact)
An explosion of flames pushes Fray’s body back!
Fray: “ARGH?!?! [ULTIMATE LIGHT BEAM • LAZER]!!”
WHOOSH!!
The light beam penetrates the flames and pursues Igni.
But it misses, again.
Fray: “WHY………?!?! WHY CAN’T I HIT HIM?!?!?!”
Fray cries out in frustration.
Fray: “My spells….! They fire at the <SP•EED OF LI•GHT>!!!
Fray sends a rapid fire of his spells.
But Igni continues to evade every spell.
In Igni’s mind, he slowly remembers a certain event.
<<<<>>>>
[Do you know what the fastest thing in this universe is?]
[Ummmm….WYVERNS!!]
[No. It’s light.]
[Oh, really? I didn’t know that.]
[What kind of reaction is that? I’m about to tell you something very important.]
[What? About breasts?]
[No. Wait... Igni, what’s wrong with your head today?]
[Grandpa, I’m kidding.]
[Well, if you’re really joking....regardless, what I’m about to teach you is necessary if you want to be the strongest. Listen well.]
[What is it?]
[It is how to fight with Wizards who use the fastest spells. In other words, how to fight [LIGHT] Wizards.]
<<<<>>>>
Igni is <WAT•CHING> Fray’s magic power.
There is nothing strange about this.
If you are a Wizard, there may be differences in the degree in which you can do this, but all Wizards can sense magic.
But what Igni was doing was a <TECH•NI•QUE> that Lucas taught him because he could use no other spells.
Igni: “HA! YOU’RE BEING TOO OBVIOUS!! I CAN SEE EVERYTHING, FRAY!!”
The way a spell activates is simple.
Inside the body, magic power weaves together, and it solidifies around the body, and then activates.
But with every spell, there exists a <TI•ME LAG>.
Fray: “HIT HIM! HIT HIM! HIT HIM HIT HIT HIM!! HIT HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!!”
Fray continues to blast spells all around him.
But Igni is weaving in between through all the blasts of light.
Igni: “Fray! Your spells are nothing compared to Grandpa’s!!”
A veteran Wizard will be able to shrink the time lag to almost nothing.
The Extreme Wizards have all but nullified the time lag close to zero.
And so, if an “Extreme” trained Igni ceaselessly for 2 years…
Fray: “DON’T **** WITH ME!! STOP GETTING IN MY WAY, IGNI!!”
Igni: “I”m not in your way.”
Fray’s spells are too childish.
Fray: “I’m….I’M GOING TO BECOME THE NEXT ‘EXTREME’!!”
Igni: “[FLAME ARMOR - IGNITE]”
Igni finishes his incantation.
Behind him < 1 • 0 • 2 • 4 > [FIREBALLS] appear!!!!!!
And all of it begins to change colors from red to white---------.
Igni: “[EXPLODE - FIRE]”
ZUDODODODODODODODODO!!!!!! (*sfx rapid machine gun like impact)
A CATASTROPHIC noise erupts and pounds the ear drums!!
The impact lifts the audience from their seats!!!
Fray: “...............I’m……...going to………..win…………!”
After all the [FIREBALL]s have exploded, Fray barely stood on his feet.
Igni: “[FLAME ARMOR - IGNITE]”
Fray: “I’M GOING TO WIN!!”
Igni: “[LAUNCH - FIRE]”
Another explosion.
But there is no sound of Fray hitting the water.
Fray: “[GLORIOUS FLARE OF LIGHT • BURST]
A rugged and worn out Fray is on one knee and glares at Igni.
A light envelops Fray and begins to brighten.
Fray: “Igni!! I’m serious now!!”
Igni: “......oh yeah?”
Igni lets out a deep, slow breath.
Igni: “Fray, I’m going to beat you.”
………..with solemn promise, Igni declares his victory to Fray.
Igni: “I’ve been fighting you seriously from the very beginning.”
Igni envisions his dream world spreading out before him.
Igni: (ONLY ONE MORE STEP TO MY SUPER-POPULAR-WITH-THE-LADIES DAYS!!)
No one still has discovered Igni’s true nature.
