Lia reacted as fast as she could to the incoming attacks. She stamped her staff into the ground, causing ice to spread out and form an ice wall. The fireballs hit the wall and exploded. The wall was destroyed, leaving only steam, but it managed to block the attacks. "You use wordless casting, seems you are good," the fire mage said as she prepared for another attack. But Lia had trained with Silva a lot, and she knew not to allow a strong enemy to be the one to keep attacking. "Ice mist." She cast a basic spell that was easy to cast and fast as well. It created a lot of mist that blocked the vision of her opponent. With that, she changed location, running to the side. This spell had two uses: it was used for obscuring and detection. Now she knew exactly where the flame mage was, and she immediately attacked, firing an ice lance in that direction. But the flame girl seemed to be experienced as well. She was able to sense the attack and counter with a heavy flame explosion. The explosion cleared away the mist and allowed them to see each other. Lia was already ready with another spell, another ice lance. She fired the ice lance, and it hurtled through the air at crazy speed. The flame mage tried to counter; she was about to cast her own spell, but then the lance shattered into pieces and scattered. Only to reassemble behind her and go for the hit. She spun around as fast as she could and used a powerful flame spell. "Flame burst." Because of the close distance, the flame explosion hit her as well, and it pushed her to the side. But since she was basically a flame mage, her resistance to fire was higher than the average person, so she recovered immediately and got up. When she got up, she saw Lia running towards her. She was a bit startled because mages normally fight at a distance. But not Lia. Silva and Quin had given her a good amount of close combat training. But the remaining ice wave was not able to hurt the flame mage. It was just a cold breeze. Those who understood what had happened were shocked because the flame mage had just used an advanced spell, and Lia, who was just fourteen, also used one. In this world, there existed a hierarchy of spells and techniques alike. There were the Basic spells, the common ones that most mages used. Next were the advanced spells, which were rarer and more expensive. Aside from that, the learning time was far longer, and it also posed a risk to the mage. Then there were the Epic spells, the legendary spells, and then the Arcane level spells. Above that was a spell rank that humans could not use alone: Chaos rank spells. Even among these ranks, they were split into low, mid, and high. As to how Lia knew the spell, it was simply because Silva had gotten a few for her, yup, from the library in the labyrinth. It had spells up to Arcane, some of which were way too powerful for him to even attempt. There were even Chaos-ranked spells for all elements there, about thirty Chaos spells in total. If people found out about that, they would raid that labyrinth with every soul they had. That was just how powerful Arcane and Chaos spells were, the same with Arcane and Chaos techniques. When he gave her the spells, he expected it to take far longer, but all it took her was a couple of months to learn them all. She was indeed a genius, and this battle was proof. Even the examiner was shocked. It was normal for third years to have advanced spells, but Lia wasn't even a student. She glanced over at Silva, wondering what Silva would have in stock. "I forfeit the match," the flame mage said after that attack. She had the feeling that if this dragged on, she would face a horrible defeat. And so, just like that, Lia, the first person, had passed the exam excellently, with a win.
