Taming My Vampire Servant

Upon seeing the two of them approaching, Ivory then incorporated Silverblade mana onto her normal mana. While holding a visible thick rope of brown mana, she ran to the other side, leaving the Vampire standing there holding the other end. 

As the two of them reached the very ends of the hill, they put the rope of mana down to the soil. Sigmund formed a triangle using his fingers right in front of his chest and chanted a spell, while Ivory took out her staff from her leather back belt and positioned the end of it to reach the ground.

Moments later, the soil started to stick onto the surface of the thick rope of brown mana, and it did not take long until the rope was completely surrounded by very thick soil!

Just in time when the thick rope became a thick roll of hard soil, Asher arrived at the peak, and he saw Ivory holding her staff. With full force, he took this chance to attack the busy silver-haired Master and threw his boomerang towards her, making her stumble at the edge!

"Don't worry, the quagmire won't kill you, Miss Sprucemint!" Asher yelled as he saw her fall from the cliff.

Asher then raised his hand and got his boomerang back. Without wasting his time, he swiftly ran sideways to look for Sigmund to attack him next. He saw him standing on the other edge and yelled, "Your Master already fell down! She's probably in a quagmire right now!"

But Sigmund was unfazed with his announcement. He smirked, saying "She's not one to easily fall down!"

"Just accept it, mister Servant!" and Asher threw his boomerang once again.

Sigmund leaned backwards and grinned at Asher before falling down the cliff.

Asher saw him grin when he took back his boomerang. That was when he felt like he did something wrong and had fallen into a trap.

Suddenly, the big roll of hardened soil at the peak started to form white smoke.

Asher widened his eyes in shock. He knew he would be doomed if he stayed still in that area. If he was alone, he would just cast Air magic and fly to avoid it, unfortunately, Rosetta was still firmly attached to a tree!

It turns out that the soil wasn't pure soil. There were also grass, dried leaves, and small plants, which were all flammable.

As soon as the burning soil rolled down the slope, the lad turned back in panic and ran as fast as he could, trying hard not to bump into the trees. 

"Rosetta!" he called when he finally reached her controlled area, and she successfully detached herself moments later and came gliding into the forest soil towards him.

But Asher didn't want to lose in that pathetic situation. Using Air magic in the form of wind, he grabbed Rosetta by the waist and formed a tornado to lift themselves up and avoid the large roll of intensely burning soil that destroyed the forest.

While viewing the small forest on top view, he saw Ivory and Sigmund hanging at the opposite sides of the peak. It was then that he realized what happened earlier. 

When Ivory fell off the cliff, her staff was already tied to the brown rope of mana, the same went for Sigmund. It's just that Asher was not able to see it from his point of view because of the big object in front of him. It was also attached to the giant soil roll, and they used their mana to burn it together. By pulling the invisible thing downwards, they were also able to pull giant soil roll and burn the trees downhill!

Rosetta casted its own tornado and Asher let go of her. From above, they saw Ivory and Sigmund finally done with their plan. Using Air magic, they lifted themselves up on safe ground.

Asher and Rosetta landed in front of them. Although Ivory and Sigmund stared intensely at the two to get ready for their attack, the orange-haired Master raised his hand and yelled, "I, Asher Riclett, forfeit this battle!!!"

The silver-haired Master and the Vampire Servant raised their brows and looked at each other with the sudden declaration of Asher. Even though they were surprised, they still didn't let their guard down.

With that, Educator Heidi and her Servant stopped casting the special spell for the Forest terrain. The stage slowly turned back into its initial appearance, and the crowd got noisy as they were quite disappointed with what happened. 

Educator Heidi approached them and faced Asher, "Mr. Riclett, can you please explain why you quit this battle?"

Asher sighed, "The trees are very important for me to win and conserve mana, but they were all burned. Plus, there was no more place to hide... I think Rosetta and I already lost as soon as Miss Sprucemint and her Servant reached the peak. "

"Why did you stop chasing me back then?" Sigmund asked, raising his brow.

"Ah, you were too far, and it would cost me more mana if I continued to chase after you," he explained.

Ivory and Sigmund, together with Educator Heidi, listened to him intently.

He continued explaining, "You see, the farther my boomerang flew away from me, the more mana it would consume… Looking back, it was quite a move that I did not think through that much. After I replenished Rosetta's mana, I also rested for a few minutes before I went to the peak, giving you the chance to cast a spell with your Master."

Asher also explained that everytime Rosetta attaches herself to trees, it would consume lots of mana. He said that he used a lot of mana already and that he's becoming quite sleepy, so he forfeited the round.

"It was a good battle, Mister Riclett," Ivory said with a smile. and offered a handshake.

Asher shook her hand and smiled as well, "Yes, and I learned a lot from the both of you. What an excellent teamwork you two have."

Ivory then waved at Rosetta, who courteously bowed at her momentarily.

When Ivory and Sigmund went back to Blue Gem's resting area, Lucius came rushing to them.

"Congratulations, Ivory!" Lucius exclaimed, "That was a breathtaking battle. You both did well."

"Thank you, Lucius!" Ivory grinned at him.

Sigmund commented with a smirk, "Hah! Rich boy, that was a piece of cake! Did you see our incredible Earth and Fire spell? That was our Blazing Rolling Pin technique!"

"Huh? When did you two start becoming bakers?" the blonde young man joked, and the Vampire narrowed his eyes on him.

Then, they heard clapping of hands nearby.

"Very thrilling, Miss Sprucemint." It was Luhan Wong, with his three baby monkeys and his monkey warrior Spirit Servant, Goliath. "After I beat our section topnotcher, I wish to battle you, too."

Ivory glanced at Lucius, who plastered a smile on his face. It was obvious that the man was testing his patience.

"I am looking forward to battling with you, Mister Wong. I am sure you are as strong as you describe yourself to be," Lucius responded.

Luhan laughed a little, "Of course, I am. I may not be of noble birth like you, but I will change my destiny. Don't worry, though. After I win this Servant Competition, I promise to visit you in Megalia City and send my gratitude to you."

He raised his brow, "Why do you need to send gratitude to me?"

"I will thank you… For being a weaker Master than I am," he grinned. 

"Haha, I look forward to it!" Lucius clenched his fists, which were hidden in Luhan's sight, "If ever that time comes, I expect you to bring at least a blueberry pie!"

While the two were feigning their laughters and glares at each other, Sigmund poked Ivory's shoulder. "Come with me for a sec."

"Huh? But-"

The Vampire pulled her arm, forcing her to walk with him towards the end of the resting area. At the end was an archway leading to dressing rooms and comfort rooms.

As they walked, Ivory could feel her arm hurting with Sigmund's tight grip. 

"Sigmund? What's the matter?" she asked with her brows knitted together.

"Dimwit. Every time counts. Let's use this time to rest… and replenish mana."
