Chapter 313 - Who Tricked Who?

"Thersland wins!"

"Uoh!" The cheers erupted because Thersland was one step away from third place. If they could defeat their opponent in the next one, they would be able to gain the honor.

Mami bit her nail with a frustrated expression.

"What should we do now?" Masahiko asked.

Mami closed her eyes for a moment. "There is nothing we can do other than to do our best. Theodore and Alea will come up next. With Miyoko unable to control himself in front of Theo, Masahiko and I will go this round. Even then, they still have Phyrill, Laust, and Ellen as their backup."

All of them closed their eyes, knowing that everything seemed to be under Theo's control.

Still, the one thing that defeated them was a mere small gesture.

"I'm sorry. If I didn't tell you anything about his frustrated expression…" Masahiko clenched his fists.

"Stop it." Mami shook her head helplessly. "All we can do is to fight there with all our power. At least, show them that we are strong."

Masahiko's expression turned serious as he nodded.

Suddenly, the cheers shook the arena as two people had arrived, checkmating them. Alea and Theo stood in the middle of the arena.

Mami sighed and turned around, heading to the door. "Let's go, Masahiko. We will do everything we can to win, so if it's possible, you better get the last one."

After leaving that message, Mami and Masahiko left the room.

Meanwhile, Sheira couldn't help but be excited about this match. "This is it! Thersland Team has brought their strongest fighters, Theodore Griffith and Alea Eilric. This means they are planning to end it right here.

"Will they be able to gain their victory right here, right now? I can't wait for it anymore." Sheira's voice contained so much energy as if this was the final.

Even the cheers had changed as all of them wanted to witness the birth of history.

"Thersland."

"Thersland."

"Theodore!"

"Defeat them, Theodore!"

"Alea!"

The majority of them wanted them to win.

When Mami and Masahiko made their entrance, there were some cheers for them, but they were overwhelmed by those who wished for Thersland's victory.

"You know it's impossible to know which plan will work, so you narrowed it down by using Masahiko, right?" Mami glared at Theo.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Theo shrugged.

"So be it, don't think you have won!" Mami clicked her tongue and glanced at Diego.

After confirming their expressions, Diego announced. "Match starts!"

Mami quickly summoned five red flames behind her that formed a star before floating in the air.

"Inch Sl—" When Alea was about to pull her back to the ground, Masahiko already appeared in front of her, striking her sword to stop her.

Theo summoned his clone and handed the spear.

"Magic Bullets." Both of them summoned all the eighty bullets and used the Tracking ability, locking on her.

Mami furrowed her eyebrows and flew upward, trying to avoid them, but all Magic Bullets chased her.

"…" Mami immediately decided to go back to the land before using her invisibility, wondering if that could let her escape.

However, before she landed, Clone Theo appeared before her, extending his hand on her chest.

Mami used her flame and shot it to the back, engulfing the Magic Bullets that had been following her.

Meanwhile, she received the full force of Theo's External Flow and Telekinesis with only her hands.

Mami took a deep breath and covered her hand with Magic Power as much as she could afford before getting blown away.

Despite the strong force from Theo, Mami's balance wasn't off as she managed to land on the ground with ease.

"Seriously…" Theo smiled as he realized that Mami might be more powerful than he thought.

"Invisibility." Mami hurriedly disappeared into thin air.

Theo took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't see the enemy. He activated his Awareness to locate her while using his clone to protect Alea's back to avoid an ambush.

However, he couldn't find Mami with his Awareness as her Awareness seemed to be stronger than his.

"If I can't find her… What should I do?" Theo thought while looking around.

Suddenly, he felt Mami's presence on his left as Mami herself emerged from thin air.

"Elemental Shield." Theo summoned his Elemental Shields and blocked Mami's dagger.

"End Swipe." Still, Mami's attack was stronger than he expected as both Elemental Shields shattered within a second.

Yet, his goal was already achieved.

Using that chance, he teleported himself on top of Mami with his spear. "Cannon Blast."

"Fire Star." The flames on her back grew and engulfed Theo.

Mami took a deep breath, knowing it was dangerous. She quickly used her Invisibility again, knowing that Theo wouldn't be defeated with only that particular attack.

And she was right. Theo emerged from the fire unscathed.

'Luckily, I have my Telekinesis and use my External Flow to blow away the fire from burning me. That one is dangerous since she can use it together with other skills, it seems… No, should I say it's an Original Technique?' Theo recalled what Nella explained about Technique.

He looked at the empty field and opened his mouth. "I see. You can't use your skill while using that Invisibility, so you need to be on the ground. Also, that flame of yours that formed a star on your back… Is that an Original Technique? That's why you can wield two skills at once?"

Suddenly, Mami's voice echoed in his ears. "That's right. No one has managed to make me use it because I always won my battle, but this time… You force me to use it. What do you think? Do you want to go to Japan after this? You can learn this, you know."

"That's where you are!" Theo smiled and turned around, thrusting his spear.

Mami emerged from thin air and struck his spear with her two daggers. "End Swipe. So, this is your intention."

Theo only smiled before he disappeared again, using his Blink to attack Mami from behind.

However, Mami disappeared again as another one emerged from thin air right behind Theo, who almost ambushed her.

"Of course. I'm not that foolish to give my position. It's just an illusion." Mami smiled.

Mami struck Theo with her dagger, but it was his time to disappear as the "Original" Theo reappeared where he stood this whole time.

"And of course, I'm not that foolish to not see it coming." Theo smiled.

This scene reminded her of what happened in the first round, where Theo ended up sitting on his spear.

Knowing that she couldn't dodge it because of her momentum, she said to Theo, "You outsmart my outsm—"

Before she finished, Theo already punched her cheek with all his strength.

"My Version of Induction Fist."
