"Ah ah", I sigh this is going to be troublesome for both him and me. He was quite strong around the same level of strength.

He was either water element of ice based on what I've seen so far. In this world you can also choose to become an "Mage" which is powerful in different types of array and magic.

An ice mage can deal area damage and and slow down opponent while water can be both calming and terrifying depending on the user and their mindset.

I preferred swordsmanship better. He took out his icy blue staff while I took out my dagger. I had an advantage. Magic takes time to cast which is why in armies they are almost always in the back, despite being powerful everything had an flaw.

This was an battle of speed. As I was about to move his pupils widened and an blast of cold air devoured the warm rays from the sun.

Icy spikes rose from the ground and approached me like each had their own life. Though I quickly invaded an icy thorn still managed to land an small car that could have been worst If I didn't avoid it.

He was a opponent quite hard to deal with. He was casting another round when I quickly flashed past him leaving only silhouettes behind. His eyes were cold but this time I saw a thread of uncertainty in his icy blue eyes, there was an opening.

I quickly swept past him and landed a shot using the back of my knife but still knocked him back a few steps. Mages body was usually quite weak thus resulting in even a little bit of wild and strong qi to be quite fatal.

Before I could hit him I already heard him say "I surrender". "I admit you're stronger" he says. "Hope we could be friends in the future!" I scream before I walk in down the steps to the audience.

The audience was stupefied but the judge seemed to be first to awake from the shock. "O-okay the winner is Sky" he said as he announced that the next ones to go on the battle area.
