"Don't be ahead of yourself or else you'll cry with blood after you got defeated by me... Idiot!! "
John roared with a stiff smile, although he said those, even he knows that he only has a little chance of winning. He just started his head and gave a second thought, 'Why the hell I asked him a battle again? However, he really is annoying as hell sometimes! I have to show him that I also have an act of courage! ' He said inwardly, trying hard to comfort himself as he walked toward the different way.
"Haha! "
I only laughed at his claims and walked towards the arena.
...
After a few hours...
The teacher that was assigned to be a referee of my battle is still at another stage and middling in a battle as a referee, so I have no other choice but to sit in one corner and watch the show.
Although my battle with John's is merely a friendly fight, to avoid accidents, the academy still insisted on having a referee to avoid severe damages between the two contestants.
Referees were the ones responsible for the battle that will be held (Of course, only those certain battles where they would be assigned). For every accident that would occur, only, if an accident occurs, all the fault would be passed to the referee and he/she has to pay the consequence whereas the students would get what they deserve. If they do something against the rules, only they would be at fault.
Because I am merely a normal student so is he -John- and not famous ones, there are not many people waiting for our battle to occur, only those bored enough and regular at the place... They weren't waiting for our battle, because they were watching every battle.
Well, for more info, this place is an academy that teaching magic. Although they don't recommend fighting, the battle at least do not concern deaths weren't homered percent prohibited but even some teachers encouraging their students to have a spar.
...
After an hour of waiting, finally, our battle came to start...
"Okay. The two of you, do you know the rules? "
The referee was a beautiful female teacher, wearing her p.e uniform, she's quite intriguing. She looked at the two of us -Me and John- with her questioning pinkish eyes as she asked.
My dream changed again. Haha. Lol.
The two of us (Me and John) nodded.
"Although you both already know, let me repeat it. This is for the safety of both of you and of course, me too, after all. "
The referee walked towards the middle of the stage while I and John stand at the different corners, listening intensively. Just like what the referee said, this was for sake of the three of us.
There were three most important rules in the arena.
First of all, no death. Second No cheating and third no brutal fight.
After explaining these three and other rules, only then the referee activated the first stage barrier to protect the spectators from unforeseen accidents. Although the first stage barrier was weak, for us, or maybe just the other students excluding me, it was already tough enough.
"Okay, the two of you can start the friendly fight! "
The referee gave the command with an expression of I'm watching you guys and walked to the corner of the stage to watch.
She was only allowed to interfere if needed based on the stage rule.
Looking at her face tho, I feel like I wanted to laugh. What the heck with this referee? Does she think of us like idiots?
Hmph!
I think she has a grasp of what I was thinking as she gave me a snort before silently stood up from a certain corner.
But who cares? After I heard the signal, I stopped paying attention to her and shifted my attention to John.
I see...
He was also looking at the referee, neglecting the fact that we were in the middle of the battle.
This idiot acting as if it's the first time he saw beauty, at all.
While he was not looking, I secretly manipulated my element and summoned a ball of fire in my palm.
This should be enough to teach him the consequences of paying attention to the beauty before the enemy while in the middle of a battle.
Fluuv* Scorching sound.
Compare to the other elements, fire magic was the least I masters...
Although I said that it was my least, that doesn't mean my knowledge of fire magic was to be underestimated. I can even proudly claim that this knowledge of mine was already enough to win any battle between me and any students in this school or even if they come to me at once. Unless the students really were great.
Felt the heat, I slowly raised my hand and opened my palm, pointed the fireball at the feet of John. This was just a friendly fight, there was no need to shame him too much
.
For the fire to appeared so fast and easily manipulated by me, I just needed to imagine a scorching fire in my head and use my mind to turn the fire into what I wished to. High or Low.
A red fire or what we also know as the weakest type of fire appears in my palm.
Although it was called a fireball, it wasn't around at all.
Compared to a water ball that could only be used as a joke, a fireball was a destructive one, and the effect depends on the caster.
I won't make it too long for an explanation.
You might think that it took me so long to create the fireball but in reality, it only took me no second.
The spectators can't help but felt amazed and a bit jealous witnessing the fireballs appear in my hand within just a matter of no seconds, even the referee wasn't excluded.
But the idiot still looking at the referee without flinching.
Haha!
Let me see how this little power of mine could make you cry.
With the command of my thought, the fireball got discharged in my palm and shot to the target.
Idk what's the reason but maybe he suddenly felt that something was off, John finally shifted his sight toward me. His eyebrows knitted as he met with my attack.
But before he could dodge, the fireball hit his foot first.
Boom*
He was sent flying like an idiot who got hit by a truck as a result of his neglect.
Nonetheless, before he falls outside the stage, he hastily summoned and manipulated his water element and built a water chain. The rope chains hooked at the blockade of the stage and used force to retreat back in his former position on the stage.
And to ease the heat in his foot that also caused his shoes to turned into smoke, he drove his water element into his foot to feel the warmth of the water.
"Haha! Idiot! "
I can't stop myself from mocking him while watching him smiling bitterly trying to endure the pain. Actually, I just used a little of my power. If I didn't, might just turn him into ashes before even the ball could hit him. Of course, I won't claim that out loud lest I'll make him lose his motivation in life.
I also wanted a normal life so I have to act low-key. Although I said low-key, it doesn't mean too low-key that I need to act like a slave or whatever let others bully me. There is always a limit to everything.
"Huh! You are embarrassing me as your friend for using such a mean! " He said as if I was wrong to attack him a while ago while he wasn't paying attention to the battle.
He didn't flinch as he said that like I was really the wrong one.
"Haha! You are embarrassing me for being a pervert and watch someone's face without taking care of himself. Don't forget that we are here to have a battle not to watch a beauty. Haha! "
How could I let him win? I hastily made. a comeback and made him shut up.
Well, the real fight is just about to start tho.
"Okay. Let's starts the second round then!!! "
As I expected, he doesn't know how to give up. And there's also no reason for him to gives up tho.
"Okay! "
Then I'll just need to play along. I'll train him without him noticing.
.

.
At the other corner, the female referee with red cheeks gave another hump and thought, 'Why are there too many perverts in this world?'
.
.
.
To make it fair enough, I didn't use my whole power. I was also afraid of breaking this whole hall.
.
.
.
Boom*
Bang*
Boom*
Bang*
Bam*
Dang*
