MATCH 107
The moment Majo stepped into the arena, the atmosphere changed. Across from her stood Seiji, his eyes held quiet confidence.
"I won't go down easy."
He said.
Majo tilted her head, amused.
"Today, you will."
"OK. Let's settle this right away. Begin!"
Seiji moved first, summoning a cyclone that hurled him forward. His strikes came like a storm—fast, elegant, unpredictable—each motion answered by the wind, every blow cloaked in slicing gales.
Majo barely shifted. She lifted a hand, and a wall of earth erupted from the ground, cutting his dash short. Before he could adjust, a jet of water surged beneath him, throwing his balance apart.
He recovered mid-air, wind forcing him back—but she was already shaping the next element., ice. A blast of freezing mist swallowed the space around him. His wings of wind faltered. Her hand rose again, ready for the next element. A bolt descended from above, precise and brutal.
Seiji screamed as he crashed into the ground. He tried to rise but his body refused.
Majo turned and walked towards the exit. She didn't look back when she spoke.
"You're not the one I'm here for."
A fiery explosion detonated behind her, flinging Seiji across the arena. Smoke and steam billowed in its wake. He didn't get up.
"Raiden— I'm coming."
She added, before vanishing.
"No mercy. No delay. Just a message to her real opponent. And with that, we have our first semi-final match decided. Majo wins."
Eto announced.
Medics rushed in, healing Seiji before carrying him away.
"Woah, Majo's getting serious."
Elfaria muttered.
"Yes. One down, one to go. Pray Masashi wins the next match."
Towa said to Mikasa.
"Masashi is strong. He'll win."
"Majo versus Raiden. I can't wait."
Asteri mumured.
"You're not the only one."
"Ahem. Well then—Participants of 108, it's time,"
Eto announced, smiling as he prepared to watch his student fight once more.
