Magic Academy's
79. The fourth match (1)

Lisia gazed into the arena through the large glass that was in the waiting room, looking as medical teams walked into the arena and brought the injured representatives into the treatment room.

Arzevian was also taken to the treatment room, he got injured while fighting the monster earlier.

Then, Lisia went to the treatment room.

One of Trisian Academy—Sien's representatives saw Lisia leave the waiting room, he then followed her.

"Lisa!" Sien called out to Lisia, making Lisia stop and turn her head.

Lisia looked at Sien, "I thought it was you.." 2 days ago, when she had a little quarrel with the representative of the Trisian Academy, Sien was there, at that time Lisia felt no stranger to Sien.

Sien smiled, "For a long time no see, Lisia."

Sien, she is one of the members of sufours.

"Where do you want to go, by the way?" ask Sien.

"It's none of your business." Lisia turned around and left from there, leaving Sien alone.

"He's so cold..." Then Sien looked at Lisia's back which was getting further away, "It seems like she's going to go to the treatment room." he muttered, then he returned to the waiting room.

***

Lisia arrived at the front door of the treatment room. Instead of going in there, he was sitting in a chair in front of the treatment room.

After quite a while, professor Viasra came out of the treatment room. Then, it was followed by the representatives of the academy who were only lightly injured.

Then, Arzevian came out of the treatment room, she saw Lisia who was sitting on the chair that was in front of the treatment room, "Lisia?"

Lisia stood up, "I want to talk to you, Arzevian Gaerella."

***

Lisia and Arzevian were currently behind one of the buildings in the Magic Academy.

"So, what do you want to talk about, Lisia?"

"You're a sufours member, aren't you?"

Arzevian was surprised to hear it, he took out his sword and pointed it at Lisia's neck, "How did you know about the sufours?" Arzevian stared intently at Lisia, asking for an explanation from her.

"Down your sword, Arzevian. I'm the chairman of sufours."

Arzevian was surprised, even so he still did not lower his sword from Lisia's neck, "Don't lie! Why would a Princess join the sufours?!" He stared intently at Lisia, not believing what Lisia said.

"Then, why would a Duke's son join the suffours?" Lisia again asked Arzevian.

"That's..."

"There is no need to answer it." said Lisia, "Now put down your sword."

Arzevian lowered his sword from Lisia's neck, then he again kept the sword.

"You're really the chairman of sufours?" Arzevian asked Lisia, she still could not believe that Lisia was a member of the sufours.

"While I said yes, you won't believe it, will you?"

"Then, is that all you want to talk about?" ask Arzevian.

"Have your limits changed lately?" ask Lisia.

"No."

'The limits of Arzevian power have not changed? Then, just me and Van?' lisia thought, she was a little surprised to hear Arzevian's reply.

[The fourth match is about to begin!]

The voice of the host was heard throughout the Magic Academy.

[Delivered to the representatives of each Academy to come to the arena immediately!]

"I'm going back to the arena." Lisia walked back to the arena, leaving Arzevian.

'Why is he asking about the limits of my strength?' inner Arzevian.

***

Lisia walked back to the arena, precisely in the waiting room, while thinking about her conversation with Arzevian earlier.

'I thought there was something strange, why am I just realizing it now? Arzevian, the limits of his strength have not changed. Then, why did the limits of my strength and Van change? Actually, which one of the 4 Emperors changed the limits of our strength? And, what's the point?' Various questions appeared on Lisia's head.

Lisia stopped walking, then she held her head, "Please your mind, Lisia" he told himself.

Lisia arrived at the waiting room, there were already many people who were there. The fourth match has not yet begun.

"Where have you been?" xava asked Lisia who had just arrived.

"Why should I tell you?" the words Lisia made Xava annoyed to hear it.

[The fourth match of the inter-collegiate tournament will start!]

[The fourth game is.].

The audience began to guess what the next match was.

[...Academic match!]

The spectators started to fuss. From the name, they guessed how the next match was.

[The rules are simple! The representatives of each academy will answer the questions given. There will be 3 people who will take part in this match, and the average value of the three representatives will be calculated. The academy that got the highest score would be the 1st champion in this fourth match!]

The representatives of the academy nodded in understanding regarding the rules explained by the host.

The fourth match was like a test.

[And one more! This is a warning! Can't cheat!]

The representatives of the academy began to choose 3 representatives who will participate in the match this time.

"Who are you, who's smart?" xava asked the other Magic Academy representatives.

"Obviously not me! I got a rank 72 out of 96 students of the 2nd class of Magic Academy" Bereilla smiled.

"Arzevian is ranked 1st in 3rd class, but he just entered the third game earlier" said Hain.

"Hain, if it's not wrong, you're in the top ten, right?" ask Xava.

"Yes, I got 3rd place" said Hain.

"Good! You're in this match!" said Xava.

"Then, who else?" Xava stared at the other representatives.

"I'm 23rd." said Heria.

"I'm 52" said Caelzen.

"I'm 18." said Everilly.

Xava then looked at Lisia, Mira and Zen, "If you guys?"

"We're still in 1st grade and we haven't had an exam" Lisia said.

"true too... The midterms were postponed because of this tournament." said Xava, "It looks like we just called Arzevian."

"Let him rest" said Hain.

"What about you, Xava?" ask Lisia.

"What do you mean?"

"What rank are you at?" ask Lisia.

"I'm an 8."

"Are you lying?" Lisia looked suspiciously at Xava, not believing that Xava entered the top ten.

"Xava is indeed ranked 8" said Hain.

"The senior ranking is quite high, why aren't seniors the only ones in this match?" caelzen.

"That's good advice, you're in this game, Xava" Lisia smiled.

Xava was upset to hear it, "Then you also take part in this match, Lisia."

"Why? My rating kan—"

"Don't try to dodge, Arlisia Erisla de Arrilla" said Xava.

"Alright, I'll be in this fourth game" Lisia said after thinking for a moment.

Seriate...
