I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

NORMAL POV

"5th Tier Spell: Water Burst".

Tiara's iron magic staff stretched through the air as its ruby gemstone glowed red while droplets of water began to form at the tip of it, twirling and spinning into a moderate-sized mass and then shooting out like a missile towards its target.

At almost the same time, Alicia cast a dome around her, her mana swirling within as the projectile of water burst into smaller droplets on impact, but the force pushed her backwards towards the edge of the Sparring Ring.

She cursed in annoyance, as she stretched her staff forward.

"6th Tier Spell: Ice spikes".

The ground shook beneath her as a wave of ice shards protruded to her command. Spreading towards the other end of the Sparring Ring within seconds.

Tiara had quickly resurfaced, and on noticing the encroaching spikes of ice, she slammed the butt of her staff to the ground.

It clangs with a loud metallic tone as the earth protrudes around her, forming a shield of her own.

The ice spikes broke into the earth dome, spreading its cold nature to the rest of the earthy structure, but as soon as it began to encroach its presence in her dome, she quickly made a way through the back and broke out of the protection, her gaze determined as she jumped upwards into the air while the ice spikes continued to consume the space of the Sparring Ring.

She spun her staff in the air,

"6th tier Spell: Ocean Landing".

A dome of water formed by the gathered particles of water droplets suffused her body while she was in the air before it burst open on landing, causing a great magnitude of water to overflow to the surface of the Sparring Ring, breaking the ice spikes apart while it spread to the end of the Ring.

She charged forward towards Alicia, who was blocking off the incoming ton of water that would have swept her off the Sparring Ring.

The water pushed her back further, but she continued to resist, stretching her hands forward and her staff with it. "Uhhhh!" She groaned as she caused ice to spread through the water, turning the incoming flow of water that had long since grown larger than her height into solid ice.

"No more wasting time, Alicia".

Tiara's voice rang in her ears as she looked up to find the end of a staff slapping her against her cheek.

She cursed as she pushed through the ice, causing a crack to spread through the layer of ice and distorting the surface that Tiara had used as leverage.

She yelped as she jumped backwards while the layer of ice broke down, scattering away from the Sparring Ring onto the floor.

Some students had to back away from the incoming shards of ice as they broke and splattered into tiny bits that flew in my direction.

But even with the commotion it caused, the two girls still seemed fixated on their battle.

Tiara landed on the surface of the Sparring Ring once again, panting lightly while Alicia glared at her, her breathing haggard as well.

"Why exactly are you doing this?" Alicia asked, her tone laced with annoyance.

She aimed her staff at Tiara and began to prepare a spell in her head.

"It is like I said before, you are unfit to lead with Raffaelo Jun". She pointed hers at Alicia, as the tension in the air began to rise.

The surface of the Sparring Ring was riddled with chunks of ice and earth, and small puddles were formed in holes and cracks.

'No, I won't let some girl tell me whether or not I am unfit for Raph. He is my Leader, and I will do anything to gain his trust'. Alicia thought, her gaze turning serious.

"I will finish this with the next attack, I hope you survive this, Tiara Gold".

It was absurd on its own that a new student even dared to challenge her on her first day of Class, but she never reasoned any of that.

What really bothered her was the fear that she could be after the man that she wanted. 'Well, yes, there's Elsie, but Elsie can just be like a pet dog for us'.

Alicia thought, before sending her mana towards the magic staff.

Soon, the rare stones on both of their staffs began to glow brightly, while a spell began to form at the tip of their Staffs.

"7th tier Magic: Snow Storm".

"6th tier Magic: Water Emersion".

The ambient colors of the sky began to darken, its skies transforming into a dark mass of black clouds.

The diameter of the effect was the same size as the Sparring Ring, as two elements began to clash ferociously, causing tremors on the Sparring Ring.

Droplets of water formed behind Tiara, while Ice and snow crackled behind Alicia as both elements began to grow larger with each mana poured into the attack.

The sky became unsettled, and the wind began to propel from the arena, spreading towards the Students and pushing them aside with the brunt of its force.

It was at this moment that Raph began to see the danger in the duel.

He was currently facing the brunt of the wind with his arms while the others did the same next to him. He turned towards Darell, with a troubled tone.

"You realize what will happen if that attack spreads towards the field and the Students, right?" He asked.

Darell's gaze snapped at him, while he arranged his thoughts.

'Getting in the way of her duel would be unappreciated by her, but he's right…that attack will hurt both of them and the Students'.

"A dome, Where's Ciara! Let her form a dome". Jane said next to them, catching their attention, while his gaze frantically searched the group of Students being pushed back by the wind.

'Well, that's one way of fixing things….we have healers within the Academy for any major or minor injuries'. He thought when they finally got a glimpse of Ciara, who seemed to have prepared for the spell even without their intervention.

She was walking towards the arena amidst the strong, cold winds that chilled her bones, but she bit her lips and walked forward.

'I've experienced colder'. She thought with a determined expression, as the mana within her swirled.

"8th tier Spell: Dome of Protection".

A yellow dome began to form around the Sparring Ring, consuming the cold energy that emanated from it.

She stared at the two attacks that were about to be projected, and she couldn't help but reminisce.

'Is it a coincidence that Raph's Deputy that he chose was an Ice element list like him…..'.

Though Raph's trait was similar, he was much more powerful as it wasn't magic that he learnt, but a latent power that he was born with.

Humans, nobles and commoners alike are usually born with a single affinity, but on rare occasions, there are those born with double affinities.

The double affinities were the norm for the elves, but for humans, it was less than 0.45 rate.

Triple affinities are even rarer, amongst both humans and demihumans of all kinds. Those born with the ability to manipulate three different elements were called prodigies.

Finally, those born with quadruple affinities were less than 0.0001 and by far a difficult attribute to possess.

Ciara was in this 0.0001% and her abilities far surpass any mage, so this fight may seem similar to a battle she once fought, but the efficiency was far from the same.

The two girls locked unto one another, as a great vast amount of water and a disturbing gust of cold wind and energy permeated through the air.

The clash could be borderline disastrous, and the difference in class would put Tiara at a great disadvantage.

'Someone has to stop this'.

Ciara thought, her body tense from the decision she made. She knew magic the best, so she was the best choice in stopping this, but then again, she had nothing to gain from helping these two.

In fact, she doesn't even know them.

It was during that mind-boggling decision that Raph rushed past her towards the Sparring Ring as the two attacks were projected at each other.

Ciara's eyes bulged open in shock as she watched Raph jump into uncertain danger in a heartbeat, but the attack had been projected. It was only a matter of time before it collided and exploded.

Spells made from mana, especially elements, tend to blow up when the mana of which it is made up is disturbed, causing a catalyst reaction and then the explosion of Magic.

Raph, who had run up ahead, was well aware of this. He had calculated his next move as well, as he jumped into the heat of the attack, startling the two girls.

"Raph, No!" Alicia screamed out in shock, unable to stop the attack

"Savior!" Tiara cried out with her hands stretched forward; she bit down on her lips as she contemplated her next move; however, on taking a glance around her, her gaze locked on Darell. And he shook his head profusely. Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire

'So I can't use it? Just because I don't want to blow my cover' She felt sullen at the choice she made. 'But….savior'.

However, both were highly mistaken, for as soon as Raph landed on the Sparring Ring, a cold chill emanated from his lips while his eyes glowed with a crispy hue. He raised his hand in the air as said with a cold and devoid voice.

"Everything is Ice".
