this mess.

 
    “They wouldn’t dare do something like fighting
on the first day right?   Let’s just
go.”   I try to nudge my friend to a
roundabout route avoiding the two arguing students.

 
    “Come on, we have nothing to do besides unpack
anyway!   Let’s just see how good
they are.   Look, the human looks to
be a level two Augmenter.”   He
points at the brawny human.

 
    Looking at them, both the dwarf and human
student had Battle Mage uniforms, but the human had two stripes on his tie
while the dwarf had only one.

 
    “My name is Nicolas Dreyl!   Declare the duel short-ass so we can
start!   Or are you all bark no
bite?”   The human smirks, placing
his right hand on the badge pinned to his left breast.

 
    “Tch!   Yer gonna be sorry.”   The
dwarf that looked around 150cm with a bulky build looked awkward wearing the
blazer uniform but the way he carried his giant battle-axe with ease tells me
he’s more than what the single stripe on his tie tells us.

 
    The metal badge on both the human and dwarf
glows brightly as the dwarf starts chanting after placing his hand on his badge
as well. “I declare a duel between me, Broznean Boor and Nicolas Dreyl!”  

 
    “I accept the duel!”   The two badges glow and different colors
until it syncs together and produces a loud ‘ping’ sound.

 
    The badge on the Battle Mage uniform and the
pocket watch on the Scholar Mage uniform act as an artifact for the dueling
system, creating a layer of barrier around the user that can take a certain
amount of force.   When the barrier
breaks, the duel is considered over and the other party the winner.   It takes around 24 hours for the
artifact to charge another barrier where, during that time, dueling is not
allowed.   Mages of a higher level
aren’t allowed to issue a duel with lower levels to keep it fair, which is why
the human had to taunt the dwarf to start the duel.

 
    The human mage takes out dual swords from his
dimension ring and gets into a stance as the people around start backing up to
avoid getting caught up in the fight.

 
    “Go dwarf!”   Elijah starts cheering himself in favor
of Broznean, getting dirty looks in the process.

 
    I study the two Augmenters and see that the
level two human is a red core stage mage while the dwarf is still a black
stage.   This should be
interesting.  

 
    “HAAP!”   The human student roars as his two broadswords glow a dim yellow color
and the earth surrounding him starts trembling.

 
    “JAH!”   The dwarf leaps up and propels himself forward by pushing off of a
nearby tree, charging his battle-axe as well with earth attribute mana.

 
    “Ooh!   Both are Earth Attribute Augmenters Art!”   Elijah gets more excited as leans closer
towards the fight as Sylv is asleep on my head.

 
    “Tremor Smash!”   The dwarf shouts, placing his left palm
on the head of his axe, making the dull glow condense.

 
    *BOOM*

 
    The power of the blow from the dwarf forces the
human to skid back even as he blocked with both his swords.   I could see both his arms shaking as he
grimaces.

 
    The human boy lowers his two swords and dashes
towards the dwarf who was already in a defensive stance.   The dual swords scrape along the ground
and as he swings up after getting into range, a trail of earth follows along,
creating a blade of earth after his blade.

 
    Not bad.   While it wasn’t surprising that the dwarf could already use his earth
attribute element, it surprised me that a human on the red stage could already
augment his earth attribute to that degree.   He was talented in that sense.

 
    “Shatter!”   The dwarf’s body glows yellow and he stomps his right foot hard unto the
ground, creating a ripple around him as the earth blade that was coming towards
him falls down in fragments.   The
dwarf blocks the human’s two actual blades with his axe but gets a little
scrape on his arm from the upward
