The flames surged before the command to fire was issued.
The flame-user hadn't even completed three revolutions of his mana. His hands trembled, magic unstable and erratic. He had skipped the final rotation and hurled the inferno.
In his hesitation and the mounting pressure, he shot the attack.
Cryshela was surprised but the ice quickly appeared.
VOOOOSHHHHH!
The flames struck Cryshela causing alarm to many watching.
"Ahhhh...!" Cryshela's voice was heard.
But even with such a clear violation, the judge had not raised his hand yet. The judge blinked. He should have raised his voice and should have called a foul.
But he saw something that, through the influence of Phatom, made him hold his tongue.
Several teachers were glaring at him.
The judge did not stop the match. After all, the person attacked was the one that many hated. Fate and Destiny whispered behind every decision in this battle.
