The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

"Look at that! Such cool display of fire!" Falbic screamed, "Definitely a battle that's worth remembering for a looong time!"

"That's a cool trick." Vecturn laughed, "Why didn't you use that before?"

"Because my control over my flames isn't adequate." Alex said as he fired off a few bolts that Vecturn stopped by creating a water wall.

"Those fires are quite strong… but my elemental power over water is much stronger." Vecturn warned, "You should quit now before I use my real strength."

"So you haven't used your full power, how odd." Alex raised his brow.

"What's odd about it?"

"Because I haven't too." Alex said and signaled with his arm as all crossbows shot off the bolts.

'Shit! That's way too many.' Vecturn looked at the incoming bolts as he created an even larger wall of water. But even with that, a few arrows pierced through it.

Luckily for Vecturn, he only had to cover his face as his armor deflected all the incoming arrows coming to him. But as he was shielding his face, he suddenly remembered that he wasn't looking ahead.

!!

As soon as he removed his hands from his face, Alex's knee hit straight at Vecturn's jaw, almost shattering it as the guy flew back.

Vecturn quickly got up and looked at his mouth. He spat and found that it was one of his teeth among the blood. He searched with his tongue and saw that it was one of the upper first ones.

"You bastard! You knocked off my teeth!" Gone was his calm demeanor, now replaced with unseen anger, "I'm going to kill you for this."

"Really? You use your family armor and also use long range fighting from the start and you insult me because I knocked one teeth." Alex said in total humility.

"Of course, I do. Do you know how hard it was to take care of this beautiful face and demeanor, now because of you all girls will laugh at me because of this hole in my mouth."

'Another beauty fanatic huh?' Falbic sighed, 'The last one was a douche straight on the face and this one's a sneak.'

Alex didn't think much about it, "Well if it bothers you so much then you can yield this fight now and you won't get hurt anymore."

"Haha… you think I'd be foolish enough to do that." Vecturn laughed like an evil man, "You break my perfect face and then tell me to embarrass myself in front of such a loud crowd, now wouldn't that be just perfect!"

"Well… I'm sure you can do it quietly too, right?" Alex said to him and turned to Falbic.

"Yeah… not gonna happen. I'm going to tell this to everyone." Falbic smiled.

Alex looked back at Vecturn to see him seething in agony.

"You ruined me here!" He looked up as Vecturn's expression was funny with the small hole in his mouth, "Now, I'm going to break you."

From Vecturn's body, huge amount of mana poured out as it signified he was going to do a large spell. Alex looked on ahead as Vecturn created a 14-meter-tall water giant behind him.

"Wow! Never have I seen such a magnificent and tall figure like this." Falbic lied, "It's straight out of my nightmare."

The giants face angrily looked towards Alex. It's hands branding sharp water knuckles and its teeth bearing sharp pointy ones.

The giant's body looked dangerous with all the extra sharp weapons created upon it.

"ARGHHH!" It roared towards Alex.

To Alex, it was sure that Vecturn was aiming to seriously hurt him now.

Falbic got ready with the new situation. He would let the fight continue, but the moment he saw someone getting seriously hurt, he would step in.

"Since you decided to go all out, I'll do the same." Alex said.

"Hahaha, You?" Vecturn laughed, "You're going full power… it seems you still have some bravado left in you."

"Don't worry, I'll be sure to wipe that away as I slowly beat you to a numb."

Alex didn't say anything and let go of his sword and shield. He bent very slightly and crossed off his arm on opposite sides, pointing his head towards the ground.

"…"

"What's with that? Are you trying to say sorry in this unexpected way?" Vecturn's question didn't get answered and he looked on for a while.

After a moment or two, he started to sweat. He looked around suspiciously and saw that the ground and atmosphere around them was heating up quite fast.

!!

He moved his head towards Alex as he finally felt the dense mana inside him, pouring out.

It was huge… much more than what he used with the water giant.

'So much mana… Why didn't I feel it before?' Vecturn asked himself before figuring it out.

'No… His mana was already very dense and so much that it had already around surrounded me from the start. I just didn't figure it out before… how could I have thought that such natural energy was his to begin with!?'

Realizing that Alex's attack would wipe him out, Vecturn prepared his own attack, 'I need to finish him before he finishes me.'

"Go water giant, defeat him!"

"Bang" "Bang"

The water giant slowly walked towards Alex, generating large shakes from his steps. As the giant stood before Alex and took up his arm to attack, Alex opened his eyes.

"Mirage Wave!"

His arm's ignited in dangerously heated flames and he swiped ahead.

"FWOOO!"

A small flame sparked from his hands and it created a heat wave that went ahead like a tidal wave. Huge degrees of heat wave spewed all in front of Alex evaporating the water giant instantly.

Vecturn felt the Heat wave hit him and he immediately felt the heat overcome him. It felt like he was on a desert, walking for days without any water, but the heat wave intensified that feeling ten times more.

Even the crowd behind Vecturn felt the heat wave. Because of the protective field, they only felt a slight percentage of its true heat. Even then they couldn't help but take deep breathes and drink large amounts of water at that.

Vecturn saw a figure in huge blur as everything in front of him darkened and his eyes shallowed out. The heat's power was so big that Falbic had to intervene and take Vecturn out of there before something crazy happened.

When the heat waves finally went away, the ground in front of Alex was completely dissolved and turned so red that it seemed it was real lava.

"Wh- What was that?" Someone from the crowd who felt the wave asked.

"Was that really created by a first year student?"

"How can they create such a dangerous flame that its heat would be so high?!!"

The crowd looked at Alex on the ground who was taking deep breathes himself. The power drain and the heat taking him by a big hold.

Slowly, he got up and walked towards Falbic who was checking in on Vecturn. Coming closer, he saw Vecturn's eyes which were completely white and mouth open as if searching for something.

"Is he dead?" Alex asked with slight fear.

"No, just in shock… or worse." Falbic said and looked at him "That was quite the wave there, how are you holding up?"

"I'll be fine… does this mean I'm disqualified?"

"What?" Falbic looked at him in confusion, "Why would that be?"

"Because of what happened to Vectur-"

"Oh! Don't worry about that." Falbic smiled, "He's not dead, is he."
