The entire arena fell silent for a moment.
Everyone expected immediate explosions and a rain of spells.
Yet, none of the normal students attacked.
Theo frowned, confused.
'What are they doing?'
The fireballs, wind blades, and water spears simply floated beside their owners, having long grown to their full size.
Theo's eyes swept through the encirclement.
'Are they trying to wait for close range or something?' he thought.
A small smile appeared on his face.
They'd probably seen his Lightning Step often enough to know simple Bronze Core spells wouldn't hit him.
'Fine,' he thought. 'If you won't come to me…'
His smile slowly turned into a grin.
'I'll come to you!'
THUD!
He kicked off the ground with all his strength.
His target was an average young man with two fire lances formed by his side.
But after only a few yards, a loud shout echoed out behind him.
''HEY!''
Theo's eyes narrowed slightly.
Without even turning around completely, he stepped sideways.
