Year 2853 | Month 7 | Day 10

The first battle starts with two Class S magicians on the weaker end of the participants in the tournament. Which doesn’t say all that much when the tournament only includes the most powerful of magicians in the entire planet.

So there aren’t really any weak magicians here. Not in this bracket, at least.

Then again, there aren’t really many ‘weak’ Class S magicians at all.

I narrow my eyes a little at the sight of the special barrier appearing over the battlefield. One filled with rainbow colors, albeit with more aqua blue and purple than other colors of the rainbow.

This special barrier is set up to fortify the reality within and around it. All to make sure Class S magicians don’t end up destroying reality around the arena and harming both the city around us and the people here.

They couldn’t have a tournament if that happened, after all.

I study the barrier for a moment before focusing on the battle the moment a massive number of spell circles of two different colors appear across the battlefield. Half of which are gold and half are a blazing red.

Cheers resound through the stadium as the spells manifest. Bolts of fire, spears of light. A sea of flames, a bright flash of light. And the biggest spells of them all. Two enormous spell circles larger than the stadium itself.

Fortunately, the special barrier also covers the city. Although how it does that, I’m not quite sure.

I lean forward a little out of curiosity as I study the fire spell. Since they’re both obviously Tier X spells, and I can take inspiration from the first one.

Actually, I could probably take the spell entirely if I could study it enough.

The Tier X fire spell spreads a wave of flames all across the city, with the barrier protecting all of the people and infrastructure. Meanwhile screens appear across the stadium to show the people watching what it all looks like without the flames.

I don’t pay attention to the screens, though. I just watch the flames and the spell with deep interest.

The spell itself seems to be converting the very air to flames. All while burning more air and oxygen around it to create even more flames, spreading beyond the bounds of the spell itself.

But the spell doesn’t stop at just the air and oxygen. It continues to burn even other spell circles as fuel, expanding the flame even more. With the flames growing hotter and hotter by the second.

It’s a really dangerous spell when it comes to the environment. Just using it can literally burn a hole in reality. That much is clear at a glance, even if this one isn’t burning a hole thanks to the barrier.

When the spell makes its way to the other Class S magician, it tries to burn them as well. Only for their spell to counter it as the Tier X light spell begins to form a bright sun in the sky. One without any heat, but filled with light.

The sun rapidly absorbs heat from the Tier X fire spell, leaving the Tier X fire spell forced to work at creating more flames in the area where the flames were absorbed.

I pay some attention to the light spell, simply because I could use some ideas from it to make a fire related spell. Since the sun has just as much to do with fire and heat as it does light. But I focus more of my attention on the fire Tier X spell.

The two spells clash continuously as the two Class S magicians also go about shooting guns at each other and various smaller spells as well.

Meanwhile cheers continue to resound through the stadium at the impressive sight on display. Because it really is quite an impressive sight.

Light versus flames. Flames versus light.

The two magicians flying around shooting guns at each other, swinging swords, and firing off numerous spells one after another. All with the two Tier X spells above them fighting for dominance.

I glance at the live broadcast of the Arcane Crown to find the enormous number of viewers watching. A total of over a billion viewers watching concurrently from all across the world.

It’s a rather shocking number, to say the least. Considering that this is just the very first round of the Class S bracket.

And it’s the opening match too.

The future rounds should have far more viewers. Maybe even several billion viewers.

I turn my attention to the screens again to continue watching the battle as it gets closer and closer to its conclusion. The two Tier X spells playing the biggest role in that.

The sun grows larger and larger until it begins to consume all of the heat and flames in the surroundings, and even the fire spell circle behind the Tier X spell. Enhancing the sun further until it begins to consume all of the first spells created by the Class S fire magician.

After that, the battle goes completely downhill for the Class S fire magician. To the point that his newly cast spells all fall apart due to the sun.

Then it finally comes to an end when the light magician overwhelms the fire magician with their own spells and their sword. Leading to the light magician’s victory.

Meanwhile I find myself writing down numerous notes about the two Tier X spells I just saw. Not really caring whatsoever about the actual result of the battle.

Before I can finish writing my notes, though, the next Class S magicians make their own appearance on stage.

Or, rather, Class S magician. Because the second match actually includes Ignitus in it.

It’s Ignitus versus one of the more powerful Class S magicians. One with an affinity for enhancement magic of all things.

This will be a rather unusual yet interesting battle.

Especially since I’ve never seen an enhancement affinity Tier X spell.

I sit down to relax and watch the battle. Not really planning on taking notes this time.

After all, enhancement mana is quite different from my affinities. So I won’t be able to glean much from it.

The audience roars its applause at the competitors’ arrivals, ready to watch a clash of blades like I’ve never seen before.
