As Elena and Tomoe were watching the tournament and happily conversing with one another about how amazingly Mekina was performing, suddenly the person sitting on the chair beside theirs interrupted them.

"Hello sisters, I hope I'm not disturbing both of you but I have some questions that I would like to ask if you two do not mind."

That person was a voluptuous dark elf lady with purple hair and bright blue eyes. She was wearing a purple dress that would belong to a witch and there was also a witch's hat on her head. This dress was extremely sexy though and had many slits which was revealing quite a bit of her skin. The way she was sitting was also alluring.

"We don't mind that but I think you should introduce yourself first, right ?"

As Elena replied to her question, she became a little bit flustered and said -

"Ah, I'm very sorry about my presumption. I was sure that you two will be familiar with my identity. I apologise for being arrogant. I'm, Mastegethor Albriani, the current head of the magic guild. Feel free to call me Ethor.

"Oh, is that so. In that case we really can't blame you for assuming that we should know you with the prestigious position you're holding. Fufu. Ah, we should also do our introductions. I'm Elena, a S rank adventurer and this lady here is Tomoe, also a S ranker. We are currently travelling together and decided to visit the famous ancient city of Menuzin."

Hearing their introduction, Ethor was surprised for a moment but soon she came back to her normal smiling face and asked.

"Hope both of you were able to enjoy the various tourist destinations of our city. I'm quite proud to say that I'm sure no other place would be able to give you the same experience."

"That is very much true. Both of us are quite enjoying our stay in this city. By the way, you said that you have some questions for us."

"Oh yes, I do. I'm sorry for eavesdropping but I heard that both of you were acquainted with little miss Mekina, so I got a bit curious as her performance in the previous two rounds was truly praiseworthy."

"Yes, we met her a few days ago when she was in a depressed state after getting fired from her job due to various troublesome situations. I was quite impressed by her talent and hardwork so I decided to give her a little training and told her to participate in this competition to prove her worth to the whole city. That's all. We had not known each other for long but I do consider her as one of my students and also as a little sister."

"That is truly amazing. So is miss Elena planning to participate in the main tournament as I'm guessing from your words that you're also a mage."

"No, I do not have any plans for that. As for my profession, you can regard me as a magic warrior. I have confidence in both my sword and my magic."

"That's unfortunate. I was looking forward to seeing miss Elena's prowess with your magic as I can feel that you're really very proficient in using it."

"Fufu, those eyes of yours are truly remarkable but do not forget that what you can see is not always correct. Do not judge something with just one look. Fufu. Oh, I also have a question for you. Is miss Ethor participating in the main tournament ?"

Hearing what Elena said Ethor fell into deep thoughts for a moment but soon she was able to recover and replied to her question.

"Yes, I will be participating. Normally as the head of the magic guild, I do not have any need to participate in this but this year is a bit special. All the S rank mages of this city would be participating in this competition."

"Oh, may I know the reason for that ?"

"Yes, no problem. After learning the reason miss Elena might even be interested in participating in the competition too."

"Now I'm getting really curious."

"Haha, it's actually a very simple thing. We S rankers were able to find a valuable magic tome in an ancient ruin. This book was a bit special and only one person was able to read it.

As we all had participated and contributed in getting this, none of us S rankers were willing to miss the chance to get this precious book that might have records about ancient or even divine magic. So after a lot of discussion, we decided that only the best mage among us should get this book. For that reason we all will be participating in this tournament to decide who is the best mage among us and who would be able to get the book as a reward."

That was quite an interesting story. In this case, the current magic tournament was probably going to be extremely famous as many S rankers were participating in it. This was definitely going to be a good show to watch.

"So, miss Elena, are you interested in participating in it now ?"

"Fufu, I first sound very interesting but I will prefer to watch the whole show from the audience seat than to participate in it. Oh, I will also be cheering for miss Ethor to win this competition."

"Thank you for your support miss Elena. I was not very confident before but now I think I will be able to do a lot better after getting your support."

...

As Elena and Ethor were talking, Tomoe was busy rubbing her fluffy new pet wolf and was also feeling the weight of her first ever pet bird on her shoulder. She was not really interested in having a conversation with this mage as it looked like that lady was only interested in magic and mages.

So she was calmly watching the third round of the tournament which was getting very interesting and exciting. But that was inevitable as the third round was about magic demonstration which was also one of the most popular segments of the whole magic tournament. So obviously everyone was bound to get excited by it.

...

As they were talking, the whole arena suddenly started cheering very loudly and the cause for that was the result of the third round. The person who had managed to get the highest score was also the person who was getting a lot of supper from the crowd. That was why everyone was cheering so loudly when that person was able to get a very close victory.

Now who was this person and how did the third round of the young mage's magic competition turn out to be so exciting ? This tournament was truly going to be one of the best in the history of this city.
