You don’t need to know. Just shut up and fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stared at her for a second... then burst into a warm, happy chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha. That’s more like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His laugh was light, but his eyes stayed soft, still watching her like she was the only thing in the world worth protecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professor standing at the edge of the arena cleared his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you two ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius straightened up, grin returning full force. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina shot him one last glare (that didn’t look angry at all).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They answered in perfect unison, eyes locked on each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professor nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... begin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professor stepped off the arena floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his foot left the stone, both Julius and Rosalina spoke at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Infinite Cast: Mary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Infinite Cast: Field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful sword appeared in Rosalina’s hand the instant she said \"Mary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment Julius spoke, a huge glowing circle formed high in the air above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spread wider and wider, growing until it covered the entire arena like a giant dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius and Rosalina stood right in the center, now trapped inside his spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is that?\" someone in the crowd gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it some kind of prison spell?\" another student whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murmurs of shock rolled through the stands like waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up in the glass viewing cabin, the professors and Dean Orin Belebright stared in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Orin stroked his messy white beard, eyes wide. \"What kind of spell covers such a huge area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaya Balan, sitting to his right, leaned forward with bright curiosity. \"Is this a brand-new spell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian, sitting on the other side, smirked without taking his eyes off the circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the glowing formulas carved into the edges of the circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at those runes. They’re messy. Sloppy. Like someone threw them together in seconds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other professors turned to him, shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Lucian continued, voice full of confidence. \"He created this spell right now.

Lucian turned to Dean Orin with a teasing grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So? What do you think? Can your so-called ’bloody-minded’ Cryptian Thorne even compete with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Orin stayed quiet. But his eyes burned with calm, unshakable faith in his student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.

Every eye in the stadium locked onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on,\" Lucian muttered under his breath, grinning like a kid. \"Show me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft burst of white smoke rolled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... fluffy white cotton started floating everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole arena had changed.
