The game hidden had started a few minutes ago. Nox saw Rufus making his way up the tower and, blending into shadows, followed him. The man's shadow was easily distinguishable in the underworld because of its peculiar shape. She stepped into it, letting him drag her to wherever he was going, though she had a small idea. Once his shadow had stopped moving, she jumped to another nearby and came out.
His back was facing her, and she could tell he had not seen her. She was still half in the underworld so she knew he was not able to sense her magical aura. The attack he was about to send would knock the opponents he could see out, but Nox was not about to give him the time to cast his spell. She stepped out as he was opening his mouth and sent her order flying.
"_sleep."
Rufus was hit square in the back. Him being the closest, he fell to the ground first. Then, one by one as the shock wave was radiating from her, all her six remaining opponents fell to the ground.
The bell rung to strike the end of the match.
"_and Nox of Midnight Fear is the winner. Next comes Rufus Lore of Sabertooth with eight points, then Raven Tail with six points, Lamia Scale with four, Quattro Cerberus with three points, Blue Pegasus with two, Fairy Tail B with one point and last comes Fairy Tail A! A round of applause for Midnight Fear!"
The stadium was silent, before timid claps came from a single person who stood up. Soon, a standing ovation was given to the hooded person. She shrugged, got down from her tower with Rufus on her back and jumped into the arena that was back to normal. She exited without looking back.
.
The second fight of the day was between Ren and Nox. Lucy of Fairy Tail A had been smashed by Flare Corona from Raven Tail and even though she knew the Ravens had cheated, Nox didn't mind. Those fairies deserved it. Descending in the arena, Nox noted almost immediately that Ren of the Blue Pegasus was part of the Alliance Team. It was his smell.
Nox wasn't going to kill him, because he hadn't done any physical harm to her friends, but when he entered the arena, she could tell she was not going to go easy on him. Simply because he was a Light Team member. And he deserved it.
His spells were weak and pathetic. She slashed through them without much trouble. Vazeriel was spinning in her hands, cutting the magic through cleanly. About half way through, she heard the annoying cheering of women join the constant chatting in the arena. She pinched the bridge of her nose as a commentator started also cheering for her opponent, arguing that a Lamia Scale girl was doing it as well. Ren blushed and lowered his guard, which annoyed Nox to no end. She sprung forward and, applying the tip of her sword to his neck said in a cold voice the reverberated throughout the now dead silent arena.
"_focus, or I might just happen to kill you."
She then kicked his stomach, sending him sprawling to the floor and went back to her place at the other end of the arena.
"_it seems that Nox wants to make the duel drag on! She just let Ren of Blue Pegasus go free of her attack. What has the previous event's winner in reserve to be so relaxed?!"
Ren then went on a rant on how him and Sherry were in love but not in love and Nox had enough.
"_pain!"
Ren screamed. The gentle fight she had put him through was gone. Now, Nox was pissed. And a pissed Nox could only spell trouble.
She stopped her spell very quickly, not wanting to injure the mage too much.
"_are you going to fight, now?" there was no gentleness in her voice. Panting, Ren stood up and opened his hands.
"_AERIAL PHOSE"
The spell rushed toward Nox who did not move out of the way. The amphitheatre had fallen silent again, wanting to see how the fight would end. The spell reached the woman, who disappeared from sight, hidden by the sand that had been raised by the spell. All held their breath as the sand slowly floated back down.
"_pathetic."
.
Her silhouette was seen through the sand, and she stepped out of it, unscathed. She extended her hand and said;
"_sleep."
The mage fell to the ground, unconscious.
