Chapter 72: The unfairness

Everyone was getting ready to fight. Some teachers gave their class some advice, while Harry was looking for the best seat to get a good view. Ed and the rest of the class were deciding the order of teams. It was decided that Ed's team would be last; this way they can get a general idea of the other classes' strength. Ed and his team were the strongest in E class, maybe even in all classes, so it was only natural to save best for last.

As everyone finished deciding, the king stood up and spoke. "The tournament will start now. Remember, as soon as you touch the ring, the fight starts!" Everyone was on edge. They were all waiting for the king to give the order to start.

"The battle startsNow!" The king's voice echoed around the academy grounds. Everyone heard it.

From five different directions, twenty-five people had entered the ring. They were all humans. It seemed that these were all the weakest of the classes, as they were chosen to start first.

As the fight was about to start, Ed noticed something wrong. All other classes targeted his class. His classmates were caught off guard and two of them were thrown off the ring by all sorts of magic. The three that remained were all present during Ed's sparring sessions. Seeing the movements of Ed and his teammates, they were able to adjust to them, but only slightly. One of them was a girl, and her hand was burned by a fireball.

'I see. They will be eliminating the weak ones first.' Ed was both calm and furious at the moment. They were following a valid strategy, but it was still underhanded. Ed's classmates retaliated with some magic. They did their best but were still overwhelmed. E class was the first to lose its members in this round. But, they were able to injure some of the other students.

"It seems like you're going to lose Harry." The smug teacher had a triumphant smile on his face. Even though it wasn't only A class who beat E. Harry didn't bother to answer him and kept watching.

Now the other four classes turned on each other. Each one found an enemy and started fighting. The tournament allowed weapons so some of them didn't rely only on magic. It seemed like A class' students had an advantage over the others. They were able to overpower their opponents, be it at swords or magic. Suddenly, one of A class' female students shouted at her teammates.

"Get back!" They all followed her orders and retreated. Now, only the other students were left in front of her. "Blazing tornado!" The girl used a skill similar to what Ed used against Leon before, excluding the wind blade. The tornado was a mix of Fire and Wind magic. Anyone close to it was sucked in and burned severely. Only 5 people were able to dodge it or use countermeasures against it. She alone eliminated 10 people.

"The following teams can enter!" Many people were focused only on the fights and forgot the time. Five minutes passed so easily. Now more people could enter the fight. Now there were 35 people on the ring. E class was disadvantaged due to having only five members. The members this time were ones who joined Ed's training sessions from before.

As soon as they hit the ground, one of them used Earth magic to shield them, and buy them time. They were targeted this time as well, but thanks to the wall, they bought a couple of seconds. As soon as the wall crumbled, E class used magic simultaneously. Fire, Wind, Water and Earth magic was used. Although it wasn't as spectacular as the tornado, it was still very powerful. This team was training all these days to be able to succeed.

Thankfully, their training paid off. They were able to knock out six students, two from C class, two from D class and one from each of the remaining classes. It was the first A students to fall off. Their teacher looked furious, while the students seemed to look down on the student that fell. "How dare you get knocked out by that trash class?!" Norris was looking at the students as if he was a piece of trash. He even tried to kick him but was stopped by the princess Alicia. He didn't seem to want to fight her and backed off.

The attention was now back to the tournament. E class was losing members one after the other. Their attack was successful, but they couldn't handle the collective attacks of the other classes. Once again, E class fell down. The students looked heartbroken and joined the ones who fell first. Ed looked at them and spoke. "You did a great job. If it was a one on one, I'm sure you would beat the crap out of them!" Although everyone knew it wasn't the truth, they were still grateful for his encouragement. Ed was getting impatient, waiting for the time to reach 15 minutes so he could join.

A class continued to dominate. They had the most members and their teamwork was good. They kept knocking off one student after the other. Only some B and C students were now left. Even D class was thrown off this time. The B class students were 6 with some Oni who could use magic in a great way, be it defense or attack, so they could hang on with their teammates. C class only had two members left; one of them was the student who fought Hayato in the mock-battle.

His name was Charlie and he was the only one, other than A class, who wasn't injured. He was now fighting an A class student.

"Hahahaha! This is fun! I haven't had this much fun since fighting E class!" he was fighting without using a weapon, contrary to his opponent. Yet, he was still overpowering him. Soon enough, he drove him to the edge of the ring.

"Seismic blow!" The A class student was blown off the ring. Another one from A class had fallen.
