The inferno swept through the arena, enveloping both the golem and the vines in its searing embrace. The golem roared in agony as its wooden form charred and crumbled, and the vines withered and turned to ash.

For a moment, it looked like Callius gained the upper hand, just like he always has done until thus far. Everyone was expecting the same to happen. No matter how strong his foes were, Callius always had shown unpredictable magical spells, surprising the crowd, and it was the same this time as well.

The audience erupted in cheers as they witnessed the destruction caused by Callius' powerful fire attack. They believed he had defeated Diana and emerged victorious.

"Did you see that? Callius is amazing!"

"That fire attack was incredible! I think he had won for sure!"

"He's going to be the best mage this academy has ever seen!"

"But, I really wished Diana to win this time. I want her to erase that proud expression on his face."

"Yeah, that bastard Callius is too proud of his own."

"Shut up. He has the strength to back his own ego. Do you think he just mindlessly wanders around and boasts his strength? Different from you, he is always training. He is either in the library or in the training grounds all the time."

"Heh… I can also be ranked one if I train like him."

"Why not do it then?"

"It is bothersome."

"Sure, loser."

Excitement filled the air, and whispers of admiration spread like wildfire among the onlookers, though there were some that didn't like to see such a beautiful girl enveloped by the flames. However, all of them knew the healing formation, so no one said anything about it.

After the last duel with Callius, the formation was strengthened since Emilia about got a lifelong scar on her face almost.

Even the instructors that were watching the scene knew the thing Callius did was nothing short of an achievement on its own.

"No matter how much I see it, this child doesn't stop surprising me. He is naturally talented at destroying things, I feel like." The red tower master spoke with her fan in her hands. She was observing the battlefield with her eyes filled with interest.

"Indeed, that is the case. I shall apologize to him for showing disrespect at first." The young man beside her answered.

"Though, it is sad that he can't win against that girl." Waving her fan, the orange-robed woman said with an alluring expression. "I really wanted to win against that woman, but I guess that is for a later time. Even he knows he didn't win."

Following her words, her attendant turned his attention to Callius and saw that he was looking at the fire with a tired expression. It was evident that he was about to collapse from the mana exhaustion, but he didn't show any signs of cheering for his victory.

And after a second, suddenly, the cheers from the audience stopped, and an eerie silence befell the arena.

The reason for that was simple.

The moment the flames subsided down, a figure was revealed on the ground.

A figure of a young girl who was covered by nature itself.

Amidst the jubilation, Diana slowly emerged from the fading inferno, her once graceful appearance now marred with slightly damaged skin from the intense flames. Her clothes were singed, and she bore the marks of the fierce battle she had just endured.

However, her wounds began to heal rapidly, a testament to her nature magic's regenerative abilities, with a green aura surrounding her.

"Diana is incredible! Look at her healing!"

"She's like a nature goddess, rising from the ashes!"

"Callius better watch out. This fight is far from won!"

As the audience caught sight of Diana's resilience, the cheers turned to awe and admiration. They realized that the battle was far from over, and both mages were still standing, ready to continue the fight.

Of course, it was only for those that were not proficient in fighting.

Since the seniors who knew the truth better than else couldn't help but shake their heads.

"He's running out of mana," one of the senior mages murmured, awe in his voice. "To think that girl could withstand such an attack….Freshmen do really seem monstrous…"

"He went all out with that last attack. I don't think he has anything left," another senior mage added.

"He's in trouble. If he can't keep up the fight, Diana will overpower him."

"The fight is already over; that guy should surrender now." A girl said with scorn on her face. She was a girl with blue hair, but the ornament on her shoulder was enough to show that she was a person belonging to the church.

"Yeah….No matter how good he is, a mage without mana is useless. Though, I think we should invite both to our club."

Such talks were all around the arena, and inside the arena was no different.

"That was a tough one, brother. You really went for the kill." Diana said as the wounds on her body visibly healed at a rapid speed.

'At most, in ten seconds, she will be back to her top condition.' Callius concluded.

He ragged his brain at a rapid speed, constantly trying to look for an opening, but he was not able to find one.

'Unless I reveal my strength, there is no way I can beat her here.'

"Sigh…." Releasing a sigh, Callius knew from this moment on acting pridefully would only make him look like a fool. He simply lost, and he knew that.

For the first time in his life, he raised his trembling hand as he gritted his teeth.
