Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

The palm of the glove exploded the other young man's stone hand.

"It won't be that easy to defeat me" The young Oriental spoke while tightening the steel glove with the stone glove. Part of his armor had been destroyed, but his hand did not loosen the glove.

The stone armor has been reduced to cover the effects of the explosion.

"Do you really think it will be easy to defeat me? In your dream!!" The blond young man shouted. His body shone and full armor covered his body. He became a knight wearing his steel armor.

"Magic body protection equipment? Interesting. Let's go to whoever has the strongest defense "A brown light shone brighter and covered the young man's body and rebuilt his armor.

Pang !!!

The two kicked each other at the same time. The loud sound of metal hitting a pear was heard. The two had to step back a little because of the impact.

"Explosive Cannon !!!!" The young Oriental shouted before raising his arm. The stone fingers merged and formed a kind of cannon on the arm.

A red and brown light shone in the hole, it looked like it was charging before firing.

"Luminous Court !!!!" A silver sword appeared in the young blonde's hands, he held it with both hands and placed it in front of his face. He looked like those Knights Templar.

After singing the spell, the sword shone brightly.

"Ahhh!!!!!" The two shouted before acting.

The cannon exploded and a magma ball came out of the hole. As the sword cut down powerfully, a giant blade of light appeared and shot towards the magma ball.

Zzzzzzzzz… Booooooom !!!!!!

The two spells clashed heavily. The light blade failed to completely cut the magma ball. Due to the power of the spells, it exploded.

A big explosion happened. A lot of dust was raised, it covered the view from both sides. Neither of them knew what the other is doing.

The dust slowly settled until there was nothing left. Only one large crater remained at the site.

The two participants were no longer at the scene, they escaped when the dust was lifted.

This was the best choice to do, as the two still needed to complete the missions to earn points and help the team to qualify. None of them wanted to spend a lot of time on the site fighting for anything.

As the two were the elite among the elites of their respective countries, they had powerful support. So it was not difficult for them to have instructors to teach how to cast spells or create other spells.

The two spells used by the two young men were created by them. The Explosive Cannon and the Luminous Cut. One was the fusion of the earth and fire element while the other was the light element.

That was one of the requirements to be a member of the competition team, to have a magic of their own. Ninety percent of the participants had their own spells, the other ten had other types of talents. 

…

Outside…

The scenes showing Xiao Mei fighting the plants to help the giant tree was shown to the world. While she was being followed by the other competitor.

When she created the hurricane and covered everything. Nothing could be seen from inside the hurricane, only outside. After the hurricane disappeared, Xiao Mei and the giant were no longer in sight, the two disappeared.

The big shots understood that a rare treasure was found by Xiao Mei, despite not knowing what the treasure was.

But when the two contestants met and started to fight suddenly.

The two countries started cursing the two for being so stupid. Fighting a fight where there was no reward was a total waste of resources and energy. This still gave the enemy a chance to discover some of their secrets.

The respective groups were Union of the European Nations and the Southern Alliance. The young blond belongs to the union group while the young oriental belongs to the alliance. Both were being cursed by members of the coaching staff and their families.

The spectators were happy to see the fight, especially the inhabitants of their respective countries. Because their competitors were showing their skills.

...

Unlike High-School Competitions that take place every year, the Olympic Games was a serious thing that all young people had dreams of participating in.

Great clans and families around the world focus on two activities of the younger generation, the Olympic Games and the International Magic Championship. They were the two most prestigious international competitions in the world and gave great honor to the participants.

Unlike the Olympic Games, the World Magic Championship had the age limit until the age of thirty, five more than the Olympic Games, and the cultivation had no limit, that is, it did not matter whether it was Warrior Mage or King Mage, that person can participate in the competition. But for that, it was necessary to pass the qualifications to join the competition team.

Normally, young people who participated in the Olympic Games have a chance to go to the International Magic Championship, as they already had strong cultivation and after entering the mystical realm of the Olympic Games, their cultivations will become much stronger depending on the luck of each one.

Besides, many participants had the support of powerful groups, this provided much more resources than normal. Young people who had great groups supporting them just need to train and do nothing else, as they already have everything they need to live, unlike young people of common background.

The two international competitions were not only to show the strength of the younger generation but also to show how powerful the group that supported them was. For each of the young people represents their respective influential groups.

But some young people came from a common background who trained hard until they achieved their current achievements. They were the large minority of participants, but they still exist within the teams.

…

While Xiao Mei was hiding and recovering her energy.

Elsewhere in the mythical realm ...

The place was a large frozen plain. The only thing you could see was snow and ice everywhere. The creatures that inhabit the place were entirely made of ice or beasts that adapted to live in the freezing climate.

Looking at the horizon, we can see a shadow walking across the plain. Getting closer, we can see a beautiful young woman wearing light clothes walking slowly around the place.

She didn't seem to be feeling cold or anything. Her clothes indicated that. Her cold and indifferent face, in contrast to the cold and penetrating climate, was very different. If Liu Yang saw her now, he would recognize the young woman. She was his other fiancee, Xie Xinyue.

Like Xiao Mei, Xie Xinyue trained hard to get a spot on the Olympic Games team after receiving the message that Liu Yang was doing well and that he was training hard in some other country.

The two girls thought that Liu Yang would attend the Olympics and trained hard to be able to have a spot on the team. Song Jia did not have the opportunity to join the team because she was already twenty-six, but she would still have a chance to join the Chinese team to the International Magic Championship three years from now.

Xie Xinyue was following the two locating compass in her hands, one was to locate Xiao Mei and the other was to locate the other members of the Chinese team.

"It looks like big sister Mei has already started moving. She must be closer to some member of the team "Xie Xinyue realized this because the two had agreed to meet each other first. But if there are team members closest, the two girls will help the team members.

"This is the best training place for me. The cold here will help my cold flame to become much stronger "Xie Xinyue had two extremely strong mutated elements. It would get even stronger if she trains in a place like this.

Crack… Crack…

The cracking sound was heard. This attracted Xie Xinyue's attention.

"The creatures finally appeared" Xie Xinyue remained as indifferent as before, the only time she showed a shy and feminine side was when she had her first time with Liu Yang.

(Husband, I hope you can see us competing. Do you know how much we miss you?) Xie Xinyue thought after seeing dozens of creatures made of ice rise from the ground.

These creatures look like monkeys made of ice, but instead of fur, it was white snow that covered their bodies. The internal parts can be seen and it was nothing but glass. The monkeys were practically blocks of ice with arms and legs.

"These creatures must be Frozen Monkeys. A type of special creature that was created from the ice itself. They are a type of basic elemental creature. They must have the power equivalent to the advanced mage, but they have no ability, only physical strength. The biggest weakness of them is the heat "Xie Xinyue remembered the information about the monkeys, she had heard of this type of creature before.

Peng… Peng…

The flock of monkeys started beating their chests hard to try to show their strength to Xie Xinyue.

Roar !!!!

They roared before charging towards Xie Xinyue, all loading at the same time.
