The kid that challenged me couldn't help looking annoyed when he heard me say this.
He narrowed his eyes to look at me before turning away.
It seemed that he was planning on acting cool until the very end.
As expected of a kid like this, but I was interested in seeing what he would show me.
Since he was a genius that was allowed to take lessons at the magic academy, he should have some skills.
Now if I were to steal those skills…
Once the two that would be facing each other was decided, the teacher raised her staff again to create a barrier. This was a barrier that was meant to protect those that were around us, rather than to protect the two of us from something.
It was to make sure that we didn't accidentally hurt the crowd while we were testing our magic.
The moment that this barrier was set up, the kid didn't waste any time in condensing his mana. With the way that he gathered his mana, it seemed that he was planning on using a single move to decide this.
