The moment the fight between the two students reached its pinnacle, everyone held their breaths.
After all, they were witnessing the true history unfolding right before their eyes.
Emberheart and Frostborne.
Ice and Fire.
Ice Dragon and Fire Phoneix.
The epic of the fight was so clear that the audience felt like they were in a play written by an author. This wouldn't make sense otherwise.
Two heirs were parallel, each having their own strengths and own styles. Even those styles represented their family, somehow matching the lore metaphorically.
However, in the end, they were all sure of one thing.
Seraphina won.
Her abilities were superior. The fact that she was able to Dual Cast two complex spells alone showed her talent, and Irina fell short of that.
At least, that was what they had believed.
Until the last second.
The amphitheater buzzed with murmurs of disbelief and awe. The duel between Seraphina Frostborne and Irina Emberheart had left everyone stunned. The fact that Irina had unleashed such explosive magic was mind-blowing, and the intensity of the clash had exceeded all expectations.
"I can't believe what we just saw," one spectator whispered, still in shock. "Irina Emberheart's magic… it was like nothing I've ever seen before."
"That explosion! It was like a nuclear blast," another person added, their voice filled with amazement. "How did she do that?"
"I've seen many duels, but this one… it's on a whole different level," a seasoned observer remarked, shaking their head in disbelief.
In the audience, Esme, who had been sent by the head of the Emberheart family to observe Irina, narrowed her eyes. The magic Irina had used just now was unlike anything she had ever seen.
'Miss….Just what were you doing all this time?'
Esme thought, trying to analyze the intricacies of the spell. That spell was unfamiliar to her, who had already integrated herself into the family.
The fact that she was unable to analyze it meant the spell was developed by Irina alone. But, it was complex and hard to see through.
'You are changing so rapidly…..But, this change….Will Matriarch be happy with that?'
She couldn't help but think to herself since she could easily envision the past where Irina was scolded after doing such acts.
"That magic was complex, wasn't it?"
At that exact moment, she heard a voice right beside her. "Isn't that right, Miss Esme? Or should I say, the Sister of Fire Emblem?"
Esme turned to see a blonde-haired woman with a stern but somehow familiar face. It was Eleanor, a renowned figure known for her prowess.
Esme's expression remained composed as she replied, "It's nice to hear that I am known by the 'Invoker.' I'm flattered." Her words were polite, but her eyes did not smile at all.
Eleanor shrugged her shoulders. "Was it not a splendid display?" she asked. "Were you able to see what happened in there?"
Esme shook her head, still trying to piece together the details of the complex spell. "Please, do enlighten me, Miss Invoker."
Eleanor smiled, her eyes twinkling with intrigue. "What you witnessed was no ordinary spell. Irina's 'Nuclear' was a fusion of different elements, a definitely unique combination." Eleanor explained, looking at the scene.
"…."
Esme waited for her to continue, but Eleanor had already entered her teaching mode. Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, Esme finally realized what she needed to do.
"What elements?" She asked, like a student listening to her teacher.
Eleanor raised her hand, her three fingers pointing up. "The spell had three fundamental elements that composed most of it. The first one is, of course, utilizing fire psions and manipulating them. This was the core of the explosion."
Esme nodded, understanding that much. "And the second?"
"The second was immense mana control," Eleanor continued, her voice steady. "Irina precisely controlled the mana to create the magic circuit. The circuit had to be perfect to channel the energy into such a powerful explosion without it backfiring."
Eleanor stopped, her eyes glinting with anticipation. Esme, recognizing the cue, asked, "And the third one?"
Eleanor's smile widened. "The third one is precisely the most important block. Telekinesis."
Esme's eyes widened in surprise. "Telekinesis?"
"Yes," Eleanor confirmed. "Irina used telekinesis to manipulate the flow and pressure of the mana within the magic circuit. This allowed her to maintain control over the immense energy and direct it precisely where she wanted it to go. By using telekinesis, she could stabilize the spell and prevent it from exploding prematurely."
Esme stopped for a second to imagine what had completely transpired.
Telekinesis to use control mana flow and pressure the mana within the magic circuit?
