Chapter 24: A Match For The Ages

Thalia was completely caught off guard, and it was too late. He kicked the staff from her hands and lit both his knives on fire. He swiftly made two cuts, one on her inner thighs, robbing her of the strength in her legs and another on her chest. The hellfire stole most of her energy, causing her to collapse almost immediately.
Alistair sighed and fell to his knees as well, exhausted from the effort he just put in. With a wave of his hand, the darkness parted and faded. Everyone cheered as they saw Alistair standing victorious. Alistair pumped his fist in the air, stirring the crowd up even more. Applause and cheers erupted from the students present, even Kaler applauded loudly for his friend. Lindsey clapped gracefully and quietly while Aurora had no reaction.
"Did you know he could wield two elements?" Aurora asked Kaler. Kaler stared blankly for awhile, then shook his head.
"No. Not at all. This is news to me." He replied. Shortly after the applause died down, Alistair himself also collapsed from his own exhaustion. Seeing this, Kaler rushed over and lightning speed, helping both fighters to the medics. The medics were scared, by both his sudden appearance and his power, but thanked him nonetheless. Kaler flashed them a warm smile.
He walked over to Ms Black, who suddenly became on edge seeing him. The students in the vicinity have also started backing away. Kaler sighed, he should have thought that this would happen. At that moment, a cold, feminine voice caught everyone's attention. "Ms Black. I suggest postponing the final match. After all, considering Mr Dakrun and Mr Rafael's skill, I think that it would be best suited to use that match to show just how powerful our club is. It would surely be a match for the ages." Aurora was walking gracefully, toward the crowd. All eyes were on her. Those that she happened to pass by practically fainted from being so close to her.
On her face, she had a neutral expression, indifferent to her surroundings. However, in her mind she wished that they would stop fawning over her. She felt sick and tired of being looked at like some exhibition. She cradled a cat with an odd, yellow fur in her arms. The car appeared to be trying to shove its face into Aurora's affectionately. However, as is expected of the ice queen, she moved away and held the cat away at every attempt.
Aurora walked over to Kaler who was beside Ms Black and smiled at him. He smiled back, and tried to pet the cat. However, the cat quickly jumped off and hid behind Aurora's leg, it seemed to be shivering at first. Aurora let out an annoyed groan and rolled her eyes. Kaler chuckled at her reaction, thought he did find it a bit odd. He looked at the cat once more, staring into it's eyes. He realised something, the cat's eyes were oddly human like, they were brown in colour.

He scanned the area and also realised the Lindsey was no where to be found, she was not even at the bench they were at previously. Putting two and two together, he had an epiphany. "I see Ms Callahan is no longer with us. Is she fe-line fine?" Kaler asked. Most of the students were confused, others were chatting up a storm upon hearing the name Callahan, the name of the most popular girl in school. Conversations erupted left and right, it was now impossible for Kaler to hear himself think
The cat behind Aurora's legs looked at Kaler and shrieked. His suspicions were confirmed. Lindsey must be a mage of the affinity of nature. She is able to command wildlife and morph into an animal of her choosing. In this case, it would be a cat. It seemed that she was angry that Kaler almost blew her cover. Kaler only chuckled, it seemed that people were too engrossed in talking about Lindsey Callahan, that they did not realise that the feline in front of them was the person they were all talking about.
Aurora giggled at the spectacle, moving right in front of Kaler to speak to him. There was basically no distance between them now, and Aurora had to look up as Kaler was a solid 20 centimetres taller than her. She looked up at him with bright eyes and a bright smile. "You catch on quick don't you, Mr Dakrun?" She said professionally. However, her voice was bright and friendly, a tone none but Kaler are accustomed to. Unknown to the two of them, conversation around them petered out and all eyes were now on them.
"Well, I try my best, Ms Singford. After all, when your best friend is one of the brightest bulbs, you have to try your best to not be a dimwit." Kaler said back.
They were both smiling at each other. The lack of distance made them look like a couple, despite the lack of physical contact. Soon, the shutters of cameras can be heard. Both of them looked around to see almost everyone taking pictures or admiring them. "Hey look! Lindsey Callahan also took a picture of them! We should do the same!" Someone in the crowd said enthusiastically.
Kaler was taken aback, not realising he had created such a scene. The shutters of phone cameras were heard every where every second. The tryouts for the magic club has suddenly become the paparazzi gathering place. Almost everyone was crowding around the two of them. This carried on for about 5 minutes. All of a sudden, thunder crashed, causing a loud boom that instantly silenced all who were present.
"Ahem! Apologies for putting an end to such an amiable conversation. However, I do think you would agree when I saw that you should continue in private? Furthermore, I have just consulted the other teachers, we will oblige by your request Ms Singford. We will hold the match next Monday, 21 of August." Ms Black butted in, much to Kaler's relief. "I would also like to announce that Kaler Dakrun, Alistair Rafael and Thalia Zaref have all successfully claimed their spot in the magic club. The results for the rest of you will be announced after the match next Monday.. For now you are all dismissed. Thank you for coming out today!"
