The Arcane God - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Yara, The Fire Mage [I]
Early morning of the following day, Oberon called Oscar, Lester, Zachar and Yara together, and said: “Today is the day the fire department begin their competition. There are not many students in the fire department in our Mystic Peaks Academy, so there are only 239 students who signed up for the competition, and the competition time is three days. ”

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Yara.

The young fire mage said lightly. “Don’t worry, I got this under control.”

Oberon said. “Yara, although I have full confidence in you as a teacher, you must know that there are people outside, who have ambitions and mind as yours. And in here, students with great potential. So during the competition, you must guard against arrogance and impatience, and don’t be careless.”

Yara said, “Don’t worry, father. I know what to do.”

“Well, it’s good to hear that.” Oberon turned to look at Oscar, Lester, and Zachar again, and asked, “You three, do you want to continue your practice today, or you want to go to the arena together?”

“Master, of course we have to go and cheer for Yara.” Zachar said with a resolute expression as he stretched out his fat belly.

Oscar and Lester glanced at each other, and they both said. “Training can wait.”

And they both decided to cheer for Yara.

So, a group of five people, led by Oberon, walked towards the arena one after another.

Mystic Peaks Academy Center Arena.

Although the number of students who signed up for the fire element competition was much less than that of the water element, there were still a lot of people who came to visit today.

There were three or four thousand people in the stands.

More so, there were many people in the stands holding signs with the names of different participating students, exaggeratedly written on them. They appeared to be the relatives and friends of the participating students.

Zachar looked at the people holding the signs and asked Oscar and the others, “Everyone, do we want to get a sign with Yara’s name on it to cheer her up?”

Oscar looked around at the groups of relatives and friends of different contestants, and said to Zachar, “You’re right, but do you have enough money to get a big placard? Your two-dollar sign won’t be enough for others to see. I mean, look at them. Can you beat those?”

Zachar said unconvincingly: “They have money, so what? Believe it or not, Oscar, I will look for a big tree and hang Yara’s sign on it. How about that?”

Lester said, “Okay, you can do that. As long as you are not afraid of being invited to face the teachers of the academy, I will support you in doing so with both hands and feet.”

Before Zachar could speak, Oscar quickly said. “Okay, let’s save it all, the game is about to start. With Yara’s strength, we don’t need to worry about any placard. Let’s just watch and enjoy the show.”

Everyone nodded, and then they turned their attention back to the competition stage.

At this point, the competition was about to start. There were a total of 239 participants in the fire department, and they were divided into twenty areas for competition. Each area has six games in the morning session.

Because of the odd number, in the morning game, one of the participating students was lucky enough to be promoted directly without having to appear in the first round, and easily got the number plate for the afternoon game.

Yara was also fortunate to be drawn to the first game in the competition area, which also saved the trouble of waiting for a long time.

After the examiner announced the start of the first match, a male student about the same height as Yara stepped onto the stage with her.

The two sides stood still, only to listen to the male student clasping his fists at Yara and saying, “Hello, my name is Harlan Crowfell, 13 years old, high-level copper mage.”

Yara immediately returned the salute and said: “Hello, my name is Yara Firestone, I am 10 years old, and I am a mid-level copper mage.”

After speaking, Harlan was obviously taken aback. First of all, he didn’t expect that the tall, thin and beautiful girl in front of him was only ten years old because girls generally develop earlier than boys.

Although Yara was only 10 years old, she was as tall as an average thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

However, what surprised Harlan even more was why Yara was only ten years old when she reached the mid-level of the copper stage as a fire mage.

With doubts, Harlan frowned after the two sides exchange identities and walked to the side of the stage.

Two half-foot-long amethyst crystals manifested in front of Harlan, emitting a faint energy. After making preparations for the contest, Harlan looked in the direction of Yara.

But he saw Yara standing quietly on the other side of the stage, not even her essence crystals were manifested. She just stood there casually, staring at Harlan with a pair of beautiful big eyes.

The examiner raised his right hand above his head, looked at the two of them, and asked, “Are you two ready?”

Yara and Harlan nodded at the same time, and saw the examiner waving his raised hand down, shouting, “Let the contest begins!”, and then quickly retreated to the side of the stage.

As soon as the words sounded, the two amethysts in front of Harlan instantly lit up, and a sphere-sized fireball soon appeared in his hand.

But Yara immediately dashed forward after the examiner announced the start of the competition. She leaned forward with her hands behind her, swiftly moving towards Harlan. At the same time, three half-foot long amethysts appeared behind her.

Harlan, who just finished forming the fireball, looked up, and saw Yara was rushing towards him rapidly. At this point, she was about to cross the center line of the stage.

Harlan was shocked and thought to himself: Why is she rushing towards him in such a hurry? Didn’t she practice long-range attack with fireballs?

As fire mages, they were taught that the attack magic of the fire element was mainly based on long-range attacks. So most of the students would also choose long-range attack magic.

This would not only ensure that you were not easily attacked by the opponent, but also take advantage of the ability of fire magic to attack from a distance.

The students that Harlan was familiar with, including himself, were also elective in long-range fire attack magic. Therefore, in the face of the fast approaching girl, Harlan immediately discarded his erroneous thoughts.

Seeing Yara getting so close to him, Harlan didn’t dare to be arrogant. With a flick of his hand, he quickly shot out the flame ball in his hand.

As soon as the fireball flew out, the amethyst light flashed in front of him, and another flame ball manifested immediately, suspended above his palm.
