░▒▓█►─═ Chapter 5 ═─◄█▓▒░

The fight was being held in a large arena out near the military barracks. It seemed the stands around the arena were filled with royalty and nobles. Was fighting entertainment for them? How could they be entertained by violence, blood, and death. Maybe it's because they never really fought before? I don't know, but I should probably focus on the fight in front of me right now. It shouldn't be much of a fight though. I mean she can't use magic right?

Mina was gearing up with a double sided battle axe. She also changed out of her long dress into a shorter skirt and a loose shirt. I admit I may have blushed at the change of clothes. The head of the axe she brought was easily 3 feet wide, and the handle was 4 feet long. How could a girl like her be able to handle that axe? She was a little shorter than me, and she looked like a normal girl of her age. Could it be magic? While I was pondering this the King started the countdown for the fight. I guess he assumed both of us was ready, which was completely untrue. I still haven't decided on the size of her breasts yet, and the whole axe thing. These are both important questions that people want answering! Before I could stop him, the king shouted begin, and with that the fight started. Mina rushed toward me at inhuman speed. I barely had time to react to dodge with my lightning magic. I jumped about thirty feet away from where I was standing, and where I was standing was now a crater with Mina and her battle axe embedded in the ground. How did a girl my size do THAT!? What type of magic did she use? It didn't look like lightning magic, so what other magic is able to make someone move that fast? She suddenly rushed me again, to which I responded by just dodging away again. She was visibly frustrated at this, and she shouted, "Stop running you coward! Aren't you supposed to teach me? The only thing you good at is running!"

I looked back at her with cool eyes and calmly told her, "I was trying to see how you fought, and your tactics. I also honestly don't want to hurt you that much, but if you insist I can now counter you with force."

She yelled in frustration and started to rush me again. I calmly put my hand out, palm facing her, and shot out a fire blast completely engulfing her and blinding her monetarily. It didn't stop her of course as she still barreled her way toward my spot and throw her axe down with all her might. A huge dust cloud appeared. The crowd started cheering, as they were sure it was he victory, and they betted for her to win. When she brought down her axe though. Instead of hitting me and breaking my bones, it hit nothing and made another crater. She had a look of awe on her face. When she was blinded and engulfed by the flames I dodged slightly away, and made my way behind her. I didn't make the flames hot enough to burn her because I didn't want to kill her or ruin her perfect skin. I gathered up lightning magic and channeled it into my right arm. This alone was probably enough to do the job, but I don't know anything about her magic and I need to make sure. I shot out a powerful blast of fire from my left arm, that spun me around at an incredible. This gave me extra momentum for the punch. She turned around to fight right when I brought the lightning punch to her face. When it connected it made a loud boom as she was flung down into the earth. The already huge crater she made was doubled in size by my blow flinging her to the ground. This created a even bigger dust cloud than hers. When it cleared, the princess was out cold. The crowd was silent. The only people cheering were Tetia and the king. I went towards the exit, and wanted to talk to the king again. I really hope the princess doesn't hold this against me.
