The World Needs War

Cecelia's great sword initialized an attack after Cecelia blocked the boy's sword thrust aimed at my forehead. A downward slash with great force came hurling down towards the boy.

Taking no chances the boy jumped back and avoided the incoming sword attack which caused the sword to bear it's fang into the dirt ground.

The great sword had about a fourth of it buried in the ground but Cecelia was easily able to pull it back out and get in a readied stance without the fifth years making their move.

In rapid secession the three boys moved with great coordination as the one furthest back extended his hand a sent multiple fireball out from his hands and at us, whilst the other two boys rushed forward with swords in hand, one taking the left and the other the right.

With two steps the boys reached Cecelia and engaged in a two verses one battle. Crain rushed over to help but he was pulled back last second by Noah before the ground underneath him erupted into a flame pillar.

"Watch where your stepping." Noah said.

The one sending fireballs towards us was also causing the ground to burst of fire pillars which slowed us down from helping Cecelia.

Cecelia struggled to block the attacks from two fifth years with her great sword that made up for it's slow movements with high power.

Her slow, but strong, attacks were taken advantage of when the fifth years increased their speed and dodged the few swings she took as they easily maneuvered behind her and cut at her.

Cecelia was on the stronger side of the students so she was able to just barely block their attacks in the nick of time before it touched her.

After ducking below the first boys sword swing she hopped back and dodged Hampton's attack.

But she wasted no time as she picked her sword up and positioned it on her shoulder.

Zenith and I stood next to each other and started to move towards the boy using their fire magic to support from the back.

Suddenly a surge of people who had surrounded us had closed their distance to the point that their was no longer a distance and the current fight we were having was interrupted by countless other students.

Shockingly, the boy who had been casting away with his magic was swept up with Zenith, I and the others in this battle hungry crowd.

Using the crowd to his advantage Crain easily passed by everyone and reached Cecelia who was barely blocking every attack from the fifth years students.

Jumping into the fray and disturbing their fight by tilting the odds in Cecelia's favor Crain, Noah, and Vereta helped fight the fifth years.

Hampton's attacks, although fast, were clearly not at the level his boasting made him out to be.

Noah launched a ball of light which blinded the fifth years for a few seconds, whilst Crain and Cecelia ran at them head on, Vereta pulled out a bow which she used to shoot the people who had crowded around them and planned to get them out.

Zenith reached the spot the magician was at but he was nowhere to be found which probably meant he was defeated by the many other students.

Zenith and I then saw the fighting going on between the whole crew versus the two remaining fifth years and started approaching it.

"AaH!" a boy jumped from the crowd and yelled out with his sword pointed at Zenith.

Hearing his closer screams it was easy to think he'd be attacking Zenith so I pulled her near me, effectively moving her out harms way as I punched directly at the back of the boy head.

---Student Eliminated but Vivy Velvet---

The blue watch on my wrist jingled to me once more.

"Come on we got to help them." Zenith tugged me.

"I know. I know. Let's go." I said as I moved forward.

Crain's magic barrier covered for any of his friends openings and his offensive power both physically and magically kept the fifth years on their edge as a small mistake from them and they'd be out.

The same was even more evident in Crain, Cecelia, Noah and Vereta as if they made a single mistake then I'd come crumbling down as well.

Hampton thrust his sword forward but a golden strings shot from the crowd and yanked the sword from him, leaving him defenseless.

The wild card Zenith had just broken the equilibrium between the two sides with no simple move that made Hampton get instantaneously eliminated by Cecelia.

The remaining boy was beaten by Crain and Noah working together.

With the defeat of the fifth years students we had regrouped near the walls of the Coliseum where less people tended to linger around.

It'd been around 10 minutes since the fight and there were now only about 100 students left and the once bustling Coliseum grounds were now devoid of any fighting.

The remaining students had formed their own groups with other students who were mostly from their same year. 

There are four groups, not including us, one small group full of fifth year students another group with third and second year students, a larger group with all first year students and the last group with a few fifth and fourth years.

"Hey, hey, hey. It's getting boring having to watch you all just stare at each other, why don't you fight." Aqua X's amplified voice said.

Heeding her words the fifth year students moved out into the middle of the Coliseum, surrounded by every other group.

Placing their hands on the ground all of the fifth years used magic to use an area of affect attack that spanned over the entire Coliseum grounds and made green thick vines grow out the ground in all directions and attack every group.

Zenith used her magic only after seeing the vines and erected a circular dome which surrounded us and gave us plenty of room to move. The dome was made of countless golden strings but the dome had extremely tiny holes in it as the weave of strings couldn't quite cover everything.

Despite this the vines were still too big to fit through the tiny holes and were therefore chopped up into many pieces when they tried to bypass the golden barrier.

The other groups also fared well with only one or two in each group getting eliminated. Although that was only the beginning as all the groups began to run towards the middle and engage in the final battle to decide the winner.

Zenith's barrier fell as we rushed forwards towards the center and clashed with the multiple other groups in a free for all battle were there's only one winner.

Running into a first year I duck to avoid their horizontal slash that cut through the air and launched myself forward hitting them with my elbow and knocking them off their balance.

Taking advantage of that I kicked him right in the face as he fell towards the ground which effectively eliminated him.

An air splitting sound came into my left ear causing me to rush forward with all my strength as an arrow fell right on the spot I was just standing in. Looking left at who shot the arrow I see that there is only fighting and that the person had disappeared into the crowd.

My shoes fell hot.

Dashing back the ground below me erupts into fire right after I moved away.

No longer taking any chances I start moving without a second thought as not to look like a sitting duck.

I ran in the direction of the magician who had tried to set me on fire and I was able to beat them in a matter of seconds despite the fact that they were the same year as me.

 A boy ran at me only a few seconds after and attempted to throw a punch at me with his muscular fist but he narrowly missed before launching another attack at my right side.

Pushing back on my heels I dodged his punch and jumped over his kick before jumping up over and behind him and punching his back.

My punch contained great force yet he still stood as if nothing happened as his burly fist flung towards me again this time hitting my arms which were able to move and block him in the nick of time.

This is going to be a long fight isn't it.
