Chapter 185 - The Battle Between Hoffmann's

"It was a great fight, there will be more fights in the future, so don't injure your hand anymore, I want to fight you more in the future." 

A sharp pain radiated through Lily's wrist. She held her wrist to find out that she had dislocated her wrist. 

Lily sighed as she said, "I am looking forward to fighting you in the future ----------- I lose." 

Commentator 1: Lily has accepted her loss, with this we have got a definite winner from this year's competition!!!!!! 

Commentator 2: Hoffmann's dominating reign will continue!!!

Commentator 1: Last year it was only Eira Hoffmann, but this year Grey has joined her and they seemed unstoppable. Eira will move to third and fourth-year competition next year but it seems like with the existence of Grey Hoffmann, the Hoffmann and Warrior house domination will continue even next year. 

Commentator 2: Especially considering the fact that Grey fought two of the finest pure mage class and won.

The Cubical magic device was projecting Grey's face as the commentator was talking about him. Grey turned around to look at his back, along with the action of his turning back, the projection angle shifted towards, Grey's back as he turned around. 

Eventually, Eira walked into his field of vision. Without saying anything, Grey walked towards Eira and so did Eira herself. 

As they were about twenty steps away-----

"Win this, we have got the winner of this match!!!! With an excellent show of their skill, both of them have defeated their opponent to be the winner of this match. Now I will declare the winner of this match!!!!! As they are the last house standing, the winner of this match----"

Taking a step ahead, Eira grabbed her great sword tightly, with an immense burst of dark blue aura with a hint of blue in it radiated out of her body. The dense aura caused the surrounding grass to blow away as several cracks were formed on the ground.

Commentator 1: Huh? What is happening? 

Commentator 2: Are they ------- are they going to----

Walking towards Eira, Grey took a deep breath. A spark of violet-colored energy sparked through his hand, which make it more and more violent, eventually covering the entirety of his body. A purple-indigo radiance radiated out of his eyes.

The violet-colored spark around his body died down, but the radiance of his eyes was still brightest as ever. He extended his hand as a piece of ice crystallized itself, giving itself a shape of a great sword.

There was confusion amongst everyone about what exactly is going on, announcer stopped announcing her result since she was informed to not yet announce the result, the reason for which was still unknown. 

Commentator 1: What is going on? I am so confused?!

Commentator 2: It looks they don't want to share the first spot. 

Commentator 1: Which means -----

Commentator 2: Yeah they are going to ----

Walking towards Eira, Grey readied his greatsword, but in a blink of an eye, Eira was already in front of Grey.

'She is fast!'

Grey quickly lifted his sword to parry her sword in a smooth circular motion. Grey parried the great sword towards the left, the force at which Eira swung her sword caused all the grass to blow away from the left. The impact caused the ground to blow into bits, causing a rupture. 

Commentator 1: what ---- was that speed? I couldn't follow it.

Commentator 2: Have we seen her use this much of her strength before? the raw strength ----- it's -----insane and Grey was able to parry an attack of such degree like it was nothing.

As Eira's sword was parried away from her body leaving her defenseless, Grey swung his greatsword only to get blocked by Eira. 

"Are you not planning on holding back?" 

Eira shot a furious look at Grey as she pushed Grey's Greatsword back, "This part of you ------ it's same as it used to be." 

On the counter, Grey pushed Eira's great sword back, getting closer to her face, Grey asked "Now, is it"

Commentator 1: They are evenly matched?

Commentator 2: When I saw her fight in last year's competition, I thought no one of her age would come close to her. But there is someone who is evenly matched to her? that's ---- it's hard to believe.

Commentator 1: For some reason, I think that there is more to see in this battle. None of them both are even close to struggling, it is as if ----- they can do more than they are showing.

Eira pushed Grey's great sword away as she proceeded to attack Grey with a forward slash, but even before it could hit him, Grey jumped away. 

Grey landed on the ground filled with tall grass, but before he could even place his foot properly on the ground, Eira had already closed the distance between him and her. 

Grey quickly got into a defensive position as he blocked three of her attack, before blowing himself away from him by using a collapsing fireball.

Commentator 2: I thought Grey can use ice-type magic?

Commentator 1: Yes, but then how he is able to use fire type magic, maybe----

Commentator 2: Do you think that it's the power of his seal marking?

Commentator 1: A seal marking that allows users to use magic that polar opposites of each other, it is pretty overpowered!!

{Author: Collapsing fireball is a spell, that is just like a basic fireball. But rather than distributed firepower like a normal fireball. The collapsing fireball is a fireball that has a hollow core, that causes it to collapse on itself, which results in creating a shock wave. Collapsing fireball doesn't have much destructive power like other fire spells.}

Grey was blown away from Eira, which created a distance between her and him. Quickly landing on the ground, Grey locked his eyes on Eira. But this time she didn't the close distance between herself and Grey.

"So you can use fire magic, huh? An ice mage can't use fire-type magic, it is a rule of this world that can't be broken, unless ------ so you have gained a seal marking?"

Grey and Eira dashed towards each other, they multiple attacks in a second, "No, I don't have a seal marking that allows me to use fire magic, instead ----" 

due to repetitive exchange of attacks, Grey's sword eventually shattered away. before Eira could take advantage of it, Grey kicked her, Eira blocked the kick but she was pushed back due to the force of the kick.

"Instead I have this big burn scar on my hand, which is a sign of my contract to fire using vampire."

Eira's white great sword, shined in a shade of dark blue, gathering mana in her sword she swung her sword in a horizontal slash. 

A layer of ice covered the ground at a speed that was even faster than the blink of an eye. This layer of ice froze over Grey's leg, trapping him in one place. The fire layer of ice was followed by ice, but unlike the first one, this one contained several huge spikes of ice that froze everything in close proximity. 

Summoning his snake polearm, Grey destroyed each and every spike in quick succession before it could even hit his body. 

Commentator 1: Being able to use spell-like that ------

Commentator 2: Both of them sure are giving their everything to fight each other. Have we seen her use this type of attack before?

Commentator 1: No, I don't think she has. 

Emerging from between the shattered ice, Eira kicked Grey in the abdomen as she said, "That's Aunt Alice's polearm -----"

being knocked back, Grey rolled once in the ground before regaining his footsteps, Eira followed Grey as he was pushed back, so there was no distance between her and Grey. Grey clashed his polearm with Eira as he said "A seal that allows you to imbue magic to your sword and that too pretty high-level magic? It is a perfect seal marking for you."

{Author: The name of this seal marking is Seal of Frost Blade, it allows her to cast a blade, the white-colored Greatsword that Eira uses and it also allows her to cast high-level ice magic without any difficulty, even though the set of ice magic she can perform is limited, but the strength of each of her spell significantly greater.}

still holding polearm in one hand, Grey crystalized an icicle great sword in her other hand as he swung that greatsword towards Eira with tremendous force. 

Eira pushed Grey's polearm away to block the greatsword, the greatsword that Grey swung with one hand clashed with Eira's sword. Grey's eyes shined brightest-----

The force of the clash launched Eira away in the air, the impact was so tremendous that she was launched high up in the air. The shock wave of the attack shattered the ground on which Grey and Eira were standing. 

Commentator 1: What's with that ------ raw strength? How much power do they need to show until one of them goes down? this match ------ it is on a whole another level than any other match.

Commentator 2: It's ------ scary.
