Chapter 112 - Learn To Swallow Your Pride

Anaya looked at her suspiciously and asked her : "Are you really asking me or are you doing it on purpose ?"

Celia was even more perplexed after Anaya's response and asked her again : "What did I say ?"

Anaya sighed and decided to enlighten her wife : "My love, none of our friends want to become the subject of your teasing so the less you know the better it is for them, don't be too surprised especially after what you just did to Liam."

Celia smiled and said to Anaya : "I see !"

Anaya looked at Celia's opponent and it was this genius of the moon sect, she said to her : "Do you want to keep fighting against this guy ? I know very well that you did not use all your power in the first round, you could easily get rid of this mage if you used Liam's technique to its fully power."

Celia laughed and said to her : "I will only use this method when Liam will want revenge and humiliates our opponents, otherwise I prefer to fight normally and frankly saying, I begin to understand why you like to fight so much, this anticipation and this adrenaline is very exciting, i could get use to it."

Liam and Alec was still not there so Anaya stayed a little longer with Celia, they went on her next combat ring, and the level ten mage she was going to fight was already there waiting for her.

He had on is face a smile of anticipation that she couldn't ignore, Anaya sneer and said to that guy : "Are you so eager to be beaten up by my wife ?"

This mage laughed outloud and said to them : "I m the number one genius of the moon sect, i only needed six year to level up to level ten so what can a poor girl like you do to me ?"

Liam coughed to signal to the girls that he was here and Anaya left right away, she was scared to kill that idiot before the beginning of the fight, it was better to leave that jerk to Liam and Celia.

Celia said doubtfully : "Six years to reach level ten ? And you are calling you a genius ..."

Liam said to her : "Well, ya Cel, usually the ones with this kind of achievement can be called a genius, at least an average one."

Cel just said : "Oh I see !"

His opponent had never felt so insulted, he used to be congratulated and worshiped, it was the first time he suffered this kind of behavior.

He said to her full of himself : "At your age i was already a level six mage too so what's great about this ? You're ridiculous !"

Liam smirked and said to him with a murderous intend in his eyes : "Ridiculous ! Then tell me, you were already a level six mage when you were sixteen, really very impressive indeed, and at what age did you start your training ?"

He didn't get why this master was asking something like that but he said with a smiled on his face : "I began my formation at fourteen, why ... Is it too impressive for you ?"

Liam smiled and said : "She began her formation three months ago, and by saying this, i mean it, her spiritual energy has been opened by a magic pill that i gave her.

So how impressive is that ? Trust me on that you're not her match, she is going to crush you down."

Celia said to Liam in a gently tone : "It's okay, let it be, he is not worthing your time, just get down and enjoy the show."

Liam looked at that guy and asked : "By the way where is your master, shouldn't he be here ?"

The poor level ten mage who were rendered speechless said in a hesitating tone : "He said to me to go first, he should be here soon."

A man very handsome just appeared near the boy, he said : "Great Master Liam, i hope he didn't cause you any trouble."

This mage had opened wide his eyes at the mention to Liam name, Liam said : "Luke ! Don't tell me he is your disciple, since when do you accept such people, arrogance has never been a thing that you liked."

Luke said cheerfully : "Indeed, arrogance is forbidden during my training but the young masters nowdays think that they are invisible because their daddy can pay bodyguards to protect them, so i m not responsible for thing that will occure outside the competition, but if he had offended you by any way, just tell me please, he will be punish after this competition."

Liam smiled to Luke : "No need for that, the punishment is that he will never be allow to entered the Northern Academy, dignity, respect, and be humble are necessary to enter this Academy, having some talents have never been enough."

The smile on Luke face was twisted but he said : "You're right, having talents have nerver been enough to enter this Academy.

Let's them fight, but if my boy win that duel i want you to reconsider your position on him going to the Northern Academy."

Liam said with a cold face : "If my girl win and for the sake of our friendship forget about bringing that mage to the Northern Academy."

They both nodded to each other and get down the combat ring, Celia began to make her shield around her, exactly the same way that the previous round, and focused on her opponent.

The countdown began, five ... Celia decided to counter his first attack, four ... then depending on which element he will use she will respond with a more powerful spell, three ... she had to finish this fight in less than ten minutes, two ... she spread the lightning element in her feet, one ... she was finally ready, Fight!

This mage used an attack spell with the fire and wind element, he sent her a gigantic fireball and used the wind element to increase its damage capacity.

Not bad thought Celia, this duel would be more interesting than the last one, she used the water and wind element to create an icy shield in front of her, and once his fire attack was over she followed up with one of her specialty the Thundering Fire.

Although she did not use the sacred fire of Anaya but just a simple fire, the principle remained the same.

A flaming arrow appeared above her right hand and a few seconds later it was covered in lightning, Celia threw it straight at her opponent and when she saw that he was trying to avoid her attack, she hit the ground with her right foot. and used a simple destabilizing spell, the Earthquake one.

Her opponent was not expecting this at all, first he had seen her combine the element of water and wind to counter his attack, then to retaliate she had used the element of fire with the one of lightning, and right now she had just used the earth element to make him loose his footing, but the only thing that came to his mind was that this girl could use the five elements, FIVE elements, impossible, it was completely impossible he thought.

But the reality was there and he lost his balance because of her Earthquake spell.

Celia saw that her strategy had worked and when he lost his balance she took the opportunity to shove her Thundering Fire in his right shoulder, not only he was burnt to the bones but the lightning element was paralyzing him.

Celia approached him threateningly and again used the element of water and wind to create her icy sword, she said to him with the blade to his throat : "Indeed you are talented, being able to combine two elements together is not given to everyone, if you agree to give up the duel and make a sincere apology about your behavior to my Master, I will ask him to cancel his ban on your entry to the Northern Academy.

But you should remember that moment, remembered that even someone with a lower level than you can beat you up.

If you want to live in this world I advise you to learn to swallow your pride and observe your opponents before provoking them, understood ?"

The mage simply nodded and said in a weak voice : "I give up the duel !"

Celia dispersed her energy and the icy sword disappeared immediately, she held out her hand and helped him up, Luke came over and gave him a magic pill to ease his pain.

Celia walked away and joined Liam who was smiling at her, he said : "Well done sweetheart !"

Celia came over to give him a hug and asked him : "Did you hear what I told him ?"

Liam said to her : "Of course I heard it, let's wait and see what he decides, if he can swallow his pride then maybe I'll change my mind."

The young man after getting rid of the lightning that paralyzed him walked towards them, he bowed to Liam and said to him : "Great Master Liam I am deeply sorry, I lacked judgment, Celia is really a extraordinary mage, I am truly ashamed of my behavior and I will remember this lesson, I promise."

Liam asked him in a neutral tone : "Your name ?"

The mage promptly replied respectfully : "Alan, Great Master Liam."

Liam sighed and asked Celia : "Are you sure about this Cel ?"
