Chapter 306: Chapter 306 Serafina match.
As for the parents\' side, Hisako often conversed with Beatrice; they also sat side by side upon finding out their daughter had been dating the same guy.
The only people who kept their silence were Hiroshi and Violet, but these two in particular don\'t feel any awkwardness, for their natures tend to be quiet around other people.
The match kept resuming, and the Arena was under the official\'s maintenance, for it was gouged, debris and puddles of water scattered across the ground.
"That was intense".
Serafina, who watched the fight between third-year both wizards, was baffled seeing the depth of multiple spells and how they applied the spell in battle.

"Mm, that is true. I learned a lot from them".
Xiao Lian from the side leaned back to rest and began to submerge herself in her thoughts, reviewing the match earlier.
"Sera, when was your match again?".
Hina turned her gaze to the side and watched Serafina\'s body tense as soon as she heard that.
"Next, after this one\'s over".
"Really?".
"Yes, I will take my leave then".
Serafina stood up, and Beatrice, who had enjoyed talking with Hisako, turned to her.
"Good luck, Sera".
"Thank you, Mama".
She left the room with a heavy feeling in her heart. Thinking back, Xiao Lian and Hina had their fair share of escorts from Soma. But here she was, alone, walking on the desolate corridor that stretched far.
At that time, Soma, who acted secretively, bailed out from the room because there was some business to take. She wonders what that is.
While walking alone, deep in thoughts, she could hear the tapping sound of her footsteps bouncing through the walls. She didn\'t realize it herself, but she arrived at the waiting room for the contestant.
With nothing to do, she entered inside and saw other contestants look at her with stern manners. She ignored the stare and approached the official beside her to take the brooch of protection.
"Here is your brooch, good luck in your match".
"Thank you!".
After finishing the procedure, Serafina left the room and stopped near the mouth door, which led to the stone path that would lead her to the Arena.
The match in the Arena was intense. Both parties aggressively attacked with weapons in their hands, one with a longsword and one with a dagger.
Even Serafina, who still has a shallow understanding of martial arts, felt enraptured by the match. She began to rack her brain, storing information regarding the person who wielded a dagger in the hope that it would benefit her later.
She kept observing the match until the match almost reached its climax. The dagger person was out of breath and with the disadvantage of his weapon range. People in the Arena felt that everything was over for him. However, they were wrong.
The moment when the swordsman intended to finish the match was because he also had reached his limit of endurance. He lunged forward like a beast.
While the opponent was backed off in the corner, his eyes were still gleaming ferociously, not wanting to lose in this match. With a dagger ready in his hands, the boy grits his teeth and squeezes the remaining mana he reserved around his body to strengthen his physique for the last time briefly.
In just a moment, he felt the opponent\'s movement stiffen, and he recklessly lunged forward, surprising not just the spectators but also the swordsman.
Within that faltered moment, the swordsman\'s thought halted because of the dagger boy\'s explosive movement. The dagger boy arrived behind him in no time, pointing the dagger to his throat.
"The match is over!".

"Impressive!".
Serafina, who watched from the side, honestly expressed her amazement. Her brain started to recall the teaching from her master, Violet, in case she was dealing with a weapon that had many more advantages than a dagger.
"I learned a lot from seeing others".
The contestant parted away in a pleased manner, but she knew that the loser still had lingering regret and frustration built up in their chest.
She particularly didn\'t want to look at those scenes, and luckily, the one who approached her side was the boy who wielded the dagger. He beamed, but when he saw Serafina\'s figure watching toward the Arena, his face stiffened in embarrassment, and he hurriedly left the place.
{My, There are a lot of surprises in today\'s match. Okay, Let us proceed toward the next match. The match will involve third-year students fighting second-year students, both of whom are wizards. I wonder what kind of spell they would have in store}
After being mentioned, Serafina inhaled deeply, feeling the roughness and tension that permeated the air. This briefly affected her mind, but with a flick, her manner changed into her usual cold one.
Her gaze lifted high, showing her aloofness; her expressionless face was like a freezing pole staring at everything in the world as her stepping stone.
Every student who saw her manner was reminded once more that this was the real Serafina; it was her usual self before a boy named Soma entered her life.
They almost forgot this persona that used to make them tremble in fear, and no one dared approach her. Now, appeared once more in the Arena.
From the other side of the Arena, a girl with wavy, long red hair strode to the Arena. Her round green eyes were contracted, filled with malice, ruining her cute face. She had a tall stature, the same as Serafina. The girl\'s name is Gina.
She is the girl who experiences loss in Serafina\'s hands despite her status as a senior. She loses miserably, and ever since that time, her hatred toward Serafina has piled up. Now, she has a good chance to get her revenge in the same stage.
Serafina observed the girl thoroughly, but it seemed she had already forgotten her existence.
"Both of you, please come here!".
Lee\'s instruction brought her attention to him, but Gina kept her loathed face staring at Serafina.
Gina shows her long wand with a red sphere on its tips. Meanwhile, Serafina was lost in thought for a moment, then under the gaze of a thousand eyes, she took a grade dagger made specialized with high-quality material, a gift from Violet.
When Lee observed the dagger, Gina\'s eyes lost their light because of the scene in front of her. "This bitch, even to this day, she still keeps looking down on me! I won\'t forgive you!". Gina cursed in her heart.
"Both of you return toward your place!".
The two contestants began to follow Lee\'s instructions and faced each other in different stances.
{Um, Ahaha, I am sorry for the misinformation. It seemed Miss Serafina had changed her fighting style. This is truly worth to be expected. Then, Mr Lee, please!}
"The match begins!".
