The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 354 - Cassau University's Victory

"What a powerful fighter Sara was! She defeated three enemy's fighters on her own! But what a shame that she got defeated in the fourth fight. The opponent is a strong one, but the team from Cassau only need to send two people to defeat four of them," Dwight said.

"Two? What about the first one?" Steven asked.

"Other than the magic items he used, he was nothing special. Seriously, how did he qualified to participate in this tournament? At least he can be sent as the first fighter to scout the opponent's strength. As for Sara, if she's at her full strength, she should be able to defeat the last opponent. What a shame that she spent too much mana in the previous match. But what's more surprising is that she used air element to fight! That's the first time I've seen someone used air magic to defeat their opponent! Her match is a valuable lesson for air mages. If they are well-trained, no one can say that air element is weak," Dwight said.

"That's right. She raised a rock from the ground, and used it as some kind of projectile by pushing it with air. I don't know how she did it, but since it was not a wind magic, I'm sure that it was air magic," Steven said.

"You're an air mage as well, right? Do you think you can do that?" Dwight asked his brother.

"I will train hard after this match is over!" Steven said with determination.

"Good luck with that. Now, team from Cassau is sending the youngest participant in the whole tournament, Jewel. She attended college as soon as she finished her introductory school. But being able to represent her university, she must be quite strong," Dwight said.

"It's a shame that Kayla didn't step forward for this match. But if Cassau win, they can keep their trump card for the next round. Though they need to defeat the opponent first," Steven said.

Seems like Sara overwhelmed her opponents in the previous bouts. I couldn't see it since I was still sleeping, but she did well. Good thing I can still hear the report from the two commentators. Though I can still ask her later in the hotel.

Next up is Jewel. She seems confident. Well, the opponent is an earth mage. He defeated Sara because Sara used the earth as her projectiles, but this guy is better than her in earth magic.

Well, can't blame her. Sara is more focused on her air magic nowadays. Even more, she didn't use her gun. At least thanks to her, air mages are willing to get stronger and won't be underestimated again.

Even the two commentators are still talking about Sara's air element after Jewel stepped on the stage. Should I promote my class so more students will come apply to Cassau University? Nah, I don't think I want to keep teaching next year. By that time, Sara should be able to teach the others. Or Dean himself can.

"The fight started, and Andrew quickly attacked Jewel with Ground Spike! The range of that attack is wide and Jewel should be hit already. Don't tell me that the match is over already?" Steven looked at the stage curiously.

"Yeah, that attack is too fast and difficult to dodge. I didn't see Jewel fly, so she's not a wind mage. Is she like the first fighter Cassau sent? Wait! She's still standing there! She didn't dodge, or block the Spikes with magic! Is that a magic item?" Dwight asked.

"That's… that's not a magic item! She's not taking any damage because she's a beastform mage! It's just a partial transformation, but the beast she transformed is a rhino! The animal with the highest defense in the world! Well, if you don't count turtles," Steven said.

Just as Steven said, Jewel is transformed into her half beast form. Which is the Jewel with the gray armor and horned mask. Seems like her defense increased. Is that Aura or the magic itself? I don't think that's Aura, so that mean the beast Jewel can get stronger? That's amazing.

All of you! Look at her! She's my disciple!

"I see. So that's a rhino transformation. Thanks for telling us, Walking Animal Encyclopedia," Dwight said.

"That name is too long."

"Sorry, walking animal."

"…one of these days, I'm going to tell our mom that you're the one ruining her dress twenty years ago," Steven said.

"Don't say that! Everyone can hear it! And mom is watching from the square!"

"That day is today!" Steven shouted.

Well, they are just acted like usual. I wonder if Alan and Lana will be as close as those two in the future?

"All those Spikes didn't damage her at all. she's invulnerable against earth magic. Well, at least the opponent's earth magic. Oh! She's transformed into a full rhino and charged straight at Andrew!" Steven continued commentating.

"Hey! Don't just continue on your own! Sorry, mom! It was because Steven being bad! Anyway, Andrew raised several layers of Earth Wall to protect himself from Jewel's charge. That should be enough for Andrew to block her charge and give him some time to think of a plan… oh, no! Jewel broke through all the walls down! Nothing can stop her!" Dwight said.

Jewel charged at the walls without stopping and hit the opponent with her body. If it was her horn, he would be dead already.

This is something that is unthinkable in a fight between mages. A direct hit with one's own part of the body. That's why for beastform mages, it's common for them to transform into a flying beast. Though I heard about a beastform mage turned into a wolf from the Werewolves, I doubt there are many of them right now. They just want to be safe and to fly in the sky.

Jewel's opponent knocked unconscious just with one attack, and the victory has been decided with Kayla not having to take part in the fight.

"The winner is Cassau University, with Jewel as the last fighter!" Dwight announced.

"That is something. To transform into a rhinoceros. A beastform mage has one chance to think of what kind of animal would they like to transform. And Jewel must have thought a lot about transforming into a rhinoceros. I don't know the reason, but she must have considered it carefully and took a long time until she decided," Steven said.

That's wrong. Once she awakened her beastform and returned home, she already transformed in her own room without telling anyone. It took her less than an hour to decide that she wants to be a rhino. We were all worried that she might grows a horn on her nose.

But seeing how much she has gotten more powerful; I realize that she picked the best choice in becoming a rhino. As her Master, I'm very proud.

Well, now that the fight is over, and those with bitter expression this time are being taken care of by the agents and the guards. I guess I'll go check on those camping outside the wall.

…after eating some meal. I'm hungry.

Luckily, there are many food stalls nearby because of the tournament. I bought a lot of them that the seller is worried about what to sell for the second match. Why aren't you happy that I bought a lot?

With bread on my right and meat skewer on my left, I went outside the city.

Since the match is on and it's time for lunch, there should be no one outside right now. They are all must be inside the city. And I indeed found no one. So, I look over at what they have. Since there are many tents that still aren't being cleaned, which I guess because the campers are going to stay here until the final, there are some stuffs inside the tent.

I just glanced over at them slightly since I don't know what I should find. But I still found nothing.

Well, other than several goblins approaching the tents. Since everyone is watching the tournament, there are no one hunting. And the guild is practically empty. I guess I shall report the goblins' appearance to the guild.

I subjugated several goblins, while letting the rest escape. After that, I reported it to the guild. There will be an urgent subjugation request from the guild soon.

There are some tents that have been ransacked. Well, that's the fault of the campers for leaving the tent like that.

Anyway, after getting more meal to fill my belly, I returned to the Arena to watch the afternoon match. I see that Kayla is the only one inside the private room, so I went there.

"Kayla, congratulation on progressing to the second round. Where are the others?" I asked.

"I ask them to get some rest. Although Jewel didn't use much energy for her battle, I still told her to rest. As for the rich man's son, he was taken by his father. His father asked us to withdraw his son's participation for the next round, but because the officials have been given the list of the participants, I told him to ask the official instead. I doubt they will let him leave. And if he's thinking of withdrawing his own fight, the father will lose face for letting his weakling son participate. At least we won't have much trouble because of him now," Kayla said.

"Well, he got what he deserved. I'll watch the next match from here, is that okay?"

"That's fine. You're also our university professor after all."

The next match was not as intense as the previous two matches. But they brought a lot of supporters, so the Arena is lively.

Well, nothing happened today.. I hope it will continue until the end of the tournament.
