There are no changes in this protagonist,

There are no changes in this protagonist, he still remains the same as one month ago. Just he seems to have a crush on Seraphina and since I kind of hurt her, he is probably looking for some kind of payback. Typical protagonist behaviour, jumping in to defend the damsel in distress, even when the situation isn\'t quite as black and white as he thinks.

Aiden\'s fiery gaze was locked on me, clearly determined to prove something—not just to Seraphina, but to everyone watching. His aura flared slightly with light and fire magic, creating an almost palpable heat that seemed to intensify the atmosphere in the room. I couldn\'t help but smirk at his enthusiasm, already anticipating how this match might play out.

"Alright, Aiden," I said, my voice calm but carrying an undertone of challenge. "Let\'s see if your flames can stand up to a storm."

The students around us whispered among themselves, excitement building. Aiden was known for his raw power and talent with fire and light magic, while I had already proven myself as a force to be reckoned with. This showdown was bound to attract attention.

Professor Lincoln looked between the two of us, a satisfied gleam in his eyes. "Very well. Aiden Pierce versus Samael Ashwood. This will be a valuable lesson for everyone, so pay close attention to how these two handle their elements and their mana flow."

We both stepped into the designated training area, a circular space surrounded by mana-enhanced barriers to contain the power of our spells. I could see Seraphina watching from the sidelines, her expression unreadable, but her eyes followed every move I made. Lily, Liliana, Sionna, Eveline, and Raven stood close by, their faces a mix of encouragement and amusement.

"Ah! And weapons are not allowed~" Professor Lincoln said teasing as he eyed the sword hanging by my side.

"Tch!" I clicked my tongue and handed my sword to Liliana who gave me a reassuring nod as she took my sword. "Good luck, Samael," she said with a playful smirk. "Show him what you\'re made of."

Aiden\'s expression was intense, a flicker of determination lighting up his eyes as he summoned a flame that hovered in the palm of his hand. The fire danced, reflecting his mood—aggressive, eager to prove himself. "Don\'t think I\'m going to hold back, Samael," he declared. "I\'ve been training hard, and I won\'t let you walk away with an easy win."

"Wouldn\'t have it any other way," I replied, cracking my knuckles and feeling the familiar surge of lightning crackling beneath my skin. "Let\'s see if you can keep up."

Professor Lincoln\'s voice rang out, clear and authoritative. "Begin!"

Aiden wasted no time. He thrust his hand forward, unleashing a torrent of fire that roared toward me like a blazing inferno. The heat was intense, and I could feel the air around me sizzle as the flames closed in.

"Fire Magic: Flame Spike!"

Aiden\'s attack was fierce, a torrent of fire that surged toward me with blinding speed. I could feel the heat wave hitting my face as I reacted instinctively, my body moving into a low stance as I focused my mana. The moment the flames were within reach, I called upon my affinity.

"Lightning Magic: Thunder Steps!"

I vanished from my spot, leaving only a trail of blue lightning arcs in my wake as I dodged Aiden\'s fiery assault. I reappeared behind him, feeling the crackling energy surging through my body, fueled by adrenaline and the thrill of combat.

"Surprised?" I called out, a smirk playing on my lips as Aiden spun around, his expression shifting from shock to determination.

He quickly adapted, raising his hand and summoning a wall of flames in front of him, trying to block my advance. The fire flickered and roared, but I could sense its weaknesses—the mana channels holding it together weren\'t entirely stable.

"Nice try!" I yelled, channelling my lightning energy into a concentrated strike.

"Lightning Magic: Lightning Strike!"

The lightning bolt shot forth with blinding speed, cutting through the air towards Aiden\'s defensive wall of flames. The clash of elements echoed in the training area as lightning met fire, creating a spectacular display of light and energy. Aiden gritted his teeth, pouring more mana into reinforcing his barrier of flames, but the intensity of the lightning strike was relentless.

"Fire Magic: Flame Shield!" Aiden shouted, his voice strained with effort as he redirected the flames to form a protective shield around him.

The lightning strike crashed against the fiery shield, causing a dazzling explosion of sparks and energy. The impact reverberated through the room, shaking the mana barriers and eliciting gasps from the watching students. The air crackled with the residual energy of their clash, leaving a charged atmosphere as the dust settled.

Aiden staggered back, panting heavily from the strain of maintaining his defence. He looked at me with a mix of surprise and respect, his eyes narrowing slightly in determination. "Not bad, Samael," he admitted, his voice tinged with admiration. "But I\'m not done yet."

Before I could react, Aiden\'s aura flared once more, this time brighter and more focused. He gathered mana swiftly, his form becoming enveloped in a brilliant aura of light and fire, combining his affinities in a dazzling display.

"Light and Fire Magic: Radiant Nova!"

With a powerful shout, Aiden unleashed his ultimate technique—a radiant burst of light and fire that surged outward in all directions, aiming to overwhelm me with sheer force and brilliance.

"Lightning Magic: Thunder Dragon!"

My right hand was in my pocket, And I released the spell with a downward motion with my left hand with laziness oozing from my very being.

A bolt of energy burst forth, taking the form of a massive dragon. The creature roared to life, crackling with electricity and speed as it surged toward Aiden\'s Radiant Nova.

"Try not to die~" I said as I started walking out as the two spells collided in a cataclysmic clash. But Radiant Nova didn\'t last one-second area. The clash of elements created a dazzling spectacle, lighting up the training grounds with bursts of electric blue and radiant orange. Aiden staggered back, his defences shattered, "N-No—" he stammered, his voice drowned out by the roar of my spell.

The thunder dragon barreled toward him, its fierce form glowing with an intense energy. I could see the moment the realization hit him—this wasn\'t just a mere match anymore. It was a culmination of power, skill, and the very essence of our magical affinities colliding in a spectacular display.

The thunder dragon was already in front of him, in despair he closed his eyes hoping for the best, but it was too late. The thunder dragon crashed into him with a deafening roar, its electric energy surging through the air and engulfing him in a brilliant flash of blue light.

The force of the impact sent shockwaves rippling through the training area, making the mana barriers tremble violently. I shielded my eyes, momentarily blinded by the intensity of the light. When I opened them, I saw Aiden\'s form being launched backward, skidding across the ground as the dragon dissipated into a storm of sparks and energy.

For a tense moment, silence reigned over the training area, punctuated only by the fading crackles of residual energy. I stood at the center, panting slightly but reveling in the aftermath of our duel. Then, the murmurs began again, this time filled with astonishment and admiration for the spectacle they had just witnessed.

"Whoa! Did you see that?" one student exclaimed, wide-eyed.

"That was insane! Aiden didn\'t stand a chance!" another added, clearly impressed.

I glanced over at the sidelines, where Lily, Liliana, Sionna, and Eveline were all staring with a mix of awe and excitement. Seraphina\'s mouth was agape, clearly impressed by the sheer display of magical prowess.

"Take him to immediate recovery!" Professor Lincoln commanded, rushing toward Aiden as he lay on the ground, clearly dazed but alive. The professor\'s voice was steady and calm, a contrast to the chaos that had just unfolded.

A few of Aiden\'s friends rushed over, helping him to his feet. I could see the embarrassment washing over him, but he quickly masked it with determination. "I\'ll be fine," he insisted, shaking his head as he rubbed the back of his neck, trying to regain his composure. "Just... underestimated you, that\'s all."

The crowd began to disperse, murmurs of the duel still buzzing in the air. I could feel the eyes of my friends on me, their excitement infectious as they rushed to congratulate me.

"That was incredible, Samael!" Lily exclaimed, her voice filled with admiration. "You completely dominated him!"

Liliana chimed in, "You didn\'t even break a sweat! I mean, you practically strolled through that battle."

I chuckled, waving off their praise. "It was just a friendly sparring match, nothing more."

"Friendly?" Sionna echoed, a teasing grin on her face. "That looked like a full-blown battle! If Aiden didn\'t know it before, he definitely knows now who he\'s up against."

Raven stood a little back, her arms crossed, a playful smirk on her lips. "I think you just made a new rival, Samael. He\'ll be training extra hard now to get back at you."

I looked back at Aiden, who was regaining his balance, his expression a mix of frustration and fear. Maybe I had unintentionally scared him too much as I saw him flinch at the sight of me glancing his way. His friends surrounded him, trying to help him regain his composure, but I could see the fire in his eyes—a determination to prove himself.

"Hey, Aiden!" I called out, my voice carrying over the dissipating tension in the room. "Next time, maybe bring a little more than just flames to a lightning storm."

His expression shifted slightly, surprise mixed with irritation. "You think this is over?" he shot back, his voice slightly strained but filled with defiance. "I\'ll come back stronger, I promise you that."

"Next match! Raven versus Eveline Clearwater!"
