Training {2}
Inside Eliana's dorm at night, while they were talking, Eliana said to Alina, The professor cares about us when he said, 'Don't push yourself too hard at the training time.' My instincts tell me to kill him immediately because I was too angry. It is for the empire's sake. There are only 20 participants selected, four from each kingdom, to compete in the Magusveil tournament. We should be lucky to get a chance to participate. Alina said maybe you are right. Eliana said
In the Academy's garden at night Ceriyan Strowale is sitting in a chair. Are you awake, Ceriyan? At this hour Eldric Wynterfell said, 'You know, I am curious. Maybe I'll win the Magusveil magic tournament and become Alite.' 'Ooh, interesting. It's not that easy, privilege.' Eldric said to Ceriyan,
Alite
A title given to those who win the Magusveil magic tournament, it is a gold badge with a stylish capital signature of 'A'. It represents Alite. It also means that you are acknowledged by all the kings of the four major kingdoms and also the emperor himself. With this, you can easily wander within the Blackell empire, and also, you are offered to become the student of one of the five magic academies, and your expenses are covered by the Alite badge. You can use it for payments because it has no credit limit. Within the empire, only you cannot wander around in the eleven kingdoms and dwarf kingdom and also other empires, and there are only 99 individuals who have won the Magusveil magic tournament in 200 years of history. It happens every 2 years, so it is the 100th edition. This year, because of the Blood Night incident, the Magusveil magic tournament was cancelled for the first time in 200 years, so instead of the 101st, it is the 100th edition this year.
Yes, you said correctly, it is not easy, but it is not impossible. Ceriyan Strowale said to Eldric, 'You are correct.' He smiled and said, 'After all, we have individuals who win both the Magusveil magic tournament and the magic sword tournament that happens at the magic sword festival.' Ceriyan Strowale added, 'And also individuals who win both without losing a match.' Both laughed and said at the same time, 'Let's do our best.'
Meanwhile in Stefan's mansion
Stefan set up his clothes in his closet and saw a tiny black box. After seeing the tiny box, Stefan smiled and said, 'Oh, I forgot about this, I think,' as he opened it. A dark black badge with the stylish signature of L and also M with white coating appeared. Stefan kept this in the tiny black box, and after seeing it, he said it has no use now, but it sure brings back memories.
The next day the sun rose on training day 2.
Stefan Wellmate pushed four selected students with each passing hour to the edge of collapse and beyond that with the sound of clashing mana the arena echoed, and Stefan forced his four selected students to face their own weaknesses. Eliana Falric perfected her mana control until her veins glowed. Alina Rosvel fought with her unstable flames, turning rage into precision. Ceriyan Strowale tried outshining his fear under Stefan's pressure. Wind cracked Eldric Wynterfell ice sharp as blades. Frozen monsters with emotionless calm, Stefan silently watched them and said, 'You all fight like children. What it means to be alive – you learn that lesson today.'
Day 3: The difficulty level is doubled by Stefan. The arena walls turned into moving labyrinths with surgical discipline. Eliana sliced through illusion spirals of crimson fire unleashed by Alina that melted barriers, leaving wind trails behind. Ceriyan blurred through traps in frost before they even attacked. Eldric encashed enemies during this moment. Stefan watched silently again, barely blinked and said, 'Still slow, but better than before.'
Day 4 begin with suffocating gravity The day begins; every breath felt like fainting even as her bones scream. Eliana kept perfect form and flickered. Alina's flames nearly extinguished before stabilising under pressure Ceriyan learnt to move within the weight, not against it. Eldric refused to give up even when his ice cracked. Stefan nodded and said, 'Now you resemble magicians finally.'
Day 5: A full simulation is activated by Stefan with blood-red skies and collapsing towers, and past tournament champions are summoned. Eliana fought herself, shattering her perfection mask and rising with golden flame. Alina burnt her own fury, discovered awareness, and Ceriyan stopped running instead of hiding it. 'Eldric accepted his cold heart,' Stefan said. 'After watching them, you survived. That's enough for the day.'
After tomorrow the Magusveil magic tournament begins, and I have work taken care of, so practise yourself. I only have one thing to teach you now, and I am sure you know the Magusveil magic tournament is played between four major kingdoms that are part of the Blackell empire, but it is an individual tournament.
At the same time, the headquarters of the imperial mage cops, Sylara Frostwil, said to her comrades, 'So after summoning the imperial mage place head, we are finally able to lift the restriction magic only for five minutes, and we gain valuable information and the names of those who are going to ambush in the Magusveil magic tournament.'
