Magic Imperium (Part 3)
Once I cast the tracking beam, it only costs a fraction to keep it going, unless I had multiple going after you”

Vergil sighed and stopped in his tracks. Students and teachers watched as the light attack hit him head on. When the light cleared, everyone saw the caster badly wounded but still standing. “W-wow, for a spell that doesn’t take much mana, it sure packs a punch” Kamaki nodded replying: “Thank you, I will take that as a complement. Now, since I’m sure you’re weakened from the attack, I’m going to finish this was something special”

“Water prison!” At that moment, Vergil was sealed inside a large sphere of water a few feet above the ring. “Now the finishing blow, true lightning!” A blinding flash of light filled the room as the electricity struck the orb of liquid. Power instantly surged through the water, electrocuting the wizard inside. She lowered her hand, causing the water to separate into a puddle on the stage. Her friend’s cloak was scorched by her lightning attack, but nothing too bad. Even with his wounds and weakened state, Vergil slowly stood up and shook his opponent’s hand for a good match.

“Well, I’m just glad you didn’t lose consciousness like the others”

“Y-yeah, that was a great finisher, but I’m sure that wasn’t your full power attack” He commented. Blood on his lip but still smiling. “She smiled back answering: Of course not, if I had used a full power attack, also counting your already hurt body…You could’ve died from such force!” He just gave her a thumbs up before landing on his back, luckily still awake.

Exius helped his friend off the stage with Sara behind them. A few students backed away from the girl after seeing what she was capable of, even when she wasn’t using her full power. All the teachers clapped for the advanced skill both caster’s had shown in the duel. Chino, the mage of life came over to both Exius and Vergil, beginning to heal them with rejuvenation, their bodies glowing green.

Haru also clapped announcing: Alright, that was a spectacular duel you two, hoping to see even a little growth from you two for the future duels! For the rest of you, hoping you’ve paid attention to what you’ve seen here and know the kind of spells you all can learn or improve. Hope to see you all at the caster’s world tournament that takes place half way through the school year. But a word of warning…This tournament involves other schools and of any class year, a 2nd year could be fighting a 6th year or any caster capable of high tier magic. Anyway, I’m sure you all get my message and hope to be careful when signing up for the challenge!” Taking his leave, the golden wand member teleported using a dark blue rift he created just as it closed behind him…

CHAPTER 2: Welcome new challenges

Weeks went by, Exius tried his best to learn all he could, even practicing spells in his dorm room on the weekends or just after school. Sometimes when he had to duel in their last class, he usually was too drained to even conjure a spell such as a mere flame…

Cyrel walked through the large campus of the academy when he spotted Sara and Vergil sitting at a table talking. “Hey guys!” The red-haired caster smirked replying: “Hey look it’s the shrimp!” Before the boy could protest in anger, Sara knocked Vergil on the head. “Ow, what was that for!?

“Sorry Exius, he’s just being over confident. Why are you out her on the weekend? Aren’t you normally training or resting from dueling lessons?”

“Yea, but decided to check out the school story for possibly getting a wand. Originally I thought of them as accessories but people are saying it helps focus your mana and increases accuracy” His friend laughed telling him it was basic 101 to...
