As they caught their breath and prepared for the upcoming trials, the distant echoes of the ongoing duel reverberated through the walls of the waiting room. The anticipation for the next phase was already building up.

The door swung open, and one of the academy attendants entered to attend. Pierre was lying on the bed, exhausted from the duel. He had no energy left in him to even lift a finger.

Jaegar checked with Pierre and made sure that he was attended to.

Hearing the announcement of the next participants, Jaegar moved to the door to see the next duel.

Jaegar found a vantage point to watch the ongoing duel between the three students of A'llkadi and the three students of Gorndorahl who were coming onto the arena.

The crowd seemed even more cheerful than earlier, probably because of the elf students.

Three beautiful young women, vibrant and full of energy, dressed in white robes with intricate silver embroidery, gracefully entered the arena. Their long, flowing hair shimmered in the sunlight as they confidently took their positions. The audience erupted in applause and cheers as they admired the elegance and grace of the A'llkadi students.

The anticipation in the colossal structure reached its zenith as the duel between the Dwarven Institute of Mystical Crafts and the esteemed Elven School of A'llkadi unfolded. The clash promised a unique spectacle, as the resilient dwarves faced the elegant elves in a magical showdown.

The participants from both academies stepped onto the arena, the dwarves with their sturdy demeanour and the elves exuding an air of refined grace. The contrasting styles set the stage for an intriguing duel that captivated the audience.

The Dwarven team, known for their craftsmanship in the magical plane, comprised three formidable individuals. Erirfel, the stoic earth manipulator; Gilda, the skilled artificer with a penchant for enchanted gadgets; and Arakgrir, a master of runic magic, wielding an ancient dwarven staff.

Opposing them were the elves from A'llkadi, a trio that epitomized the elven finesse in magic – Arannis, with great precision; Lirael, a mage proficient in nature-based spells; and Elowen, a dual-elemental mage.

The atmosphere crackled with expectation as the dwarves and elves squared off, their eyes locked in silent acknowledgment of the impending clash.

The duel commenced with Erirfel, the dwarven earth manipulator, slamming his warhammer into the ground. The arena trembled as a wave of earth surged towards the elves, creating a formidable wave that surged towards the elven trio. The ground beneath their feet rumbled as the dwarven magic sought to assert its dominance.

In response, Arannis, the elven mage with exceptional precision, stepped forward. With a fluid motion of his hands, he invoked an intricate wind spell, creating a vortex that intercepted the approaching wave of earth. The clash between the two elemental forces unfolded like a dance, with each movement calculated and harmonized with the other.

As the wind and earth clashed, a whirlwind of dust and debris filled the arena, creating an unusual spectacle. Arannis displayed mastery over the winds, directing them with finesse to neutralize the dwarven onslaught. The audience watched in awe as the elven mage showcased the elegance and potency of his magical abilities.

Meanwhile, Gilda, the dwarven artificer, unveiled a series of enchanted gadgets. He hurled arcane-infused projectiles towards the elves, each gadget releasing bursts of magical energy upon impact.

However, Lirael, the elven mage proficient in nature-based spells, countered with a surge of vibrant plant growth that deflected the enchanted projectiles harmlessly away.

The battlefield transformed into a mesmerizing display of magic as the dwarves and elves engaged in a dynamic exchange of spells.

Elowen, the elven dual-elemental mage, stepped forward, weaving a complex incantation that resonated with both fire and water magic. Her spell manifested as a cascade of flames and crystalline water, forming a protective barrier around the elven trio.

As the flames and water intertwined, they created a radiant shield that repelled the remaining dwarven attacks. The magical barrier shimmered with ethereal beauty, a testament to the synergy between the elven mages and their elements. The audience erupted in cheers as they witnessed the elves' masterful defence against the dwarven onslaught.

Arakgrir, the dwarven master of runic magic, observed the elven counterattacks with a stoic expression. Undeterred, he focused his attention on the ancient dwarven staff in his hands, inscribed with powerful runes passed down through generations. With a determined gaze, he began channelling energy into the staff, preparing for a potent magical assault.

The arena became charged with anticipation as Arakgrir unleashed the runic magic stored within the staff. Arcane symbols materialized in the air, forming a matrix of magical energy. The elven trio, recognizing the imminent threat, responded with a coordinated effort to disrupt the runic patterns.

Arannis directed gusts of wind to destabilize the runes, while Lirael conjured vines and roots to entwine and obscure the magical symbols. Elowen, with her dual-elemental affinity, manipulated the water and fire elements to create illusions that confounded the dwarven runic magic.

The clash of magical forces reached its zenith as the dwarven runic magic collided with the elven countermeasures. The air crackled with energy, and the audience held their breath as the outcome hung in the balance.

In a dazzling display of skill, the elven trio successfully dismantled the runic magic, dispersing the arcane symbols into a cascade of fading light. Arakgrir, though momentarily thwarted, maintained his composure, recognizing the formidable resistance posed by the elves.

As the dust settled, the elven trio stood resolute, their magical prowess evident in the radiant aftermath of the clash.

Arakgrir, though momentarily thwarted, maintained his composure, recognizing the formidable resistance posed by the elves.

Erirfel and Gilda, representing the Dwarven Institute of Mystical Crafts, found themselves momentarily immobile, their attempts to breach the elven defences were unsuccessful.

The audience watched in hushed anticipation, wondering how the dwarves would respond to the overwhelming magical finesse displayed by their elven counterparts.

Jaegar was keenly focused on the staff, wielded by Arakgrir, which had a unique pattern on the staff that attracted his attention. The symbols were a bit familiar to the runic language he knew. The staff seemed to hold great power, emanating a faint aura that Jaegar could sense even from where he stood.

The elves were also no less than what dwarves are put on the stage for. Their graceful movements and intricate spellcasting left the dwarves in awe. It was clear that both races possessed their own distinct magical abilities, each equally impressive in their own right.

Arannis, the elven mage with exceptional precision, took a step forward, his gaze fixed on the dwarven opponents. With a subtle yet commanding gesture, he signalled his companions to prepare for their next move.

Lirael, the nature-based mage, summoned vines and roots from the arena floor, entwining Erirfel and Gilda in an intricate pattern. The dwarven duo struggled against the magical restraints, their attempts to break free met with resilient elven magic.

Elowen, the dual-elemental mage, approached with a confident stride. Her eyes gleamed with a mixture of determination and grace as she prepared to deliver the final blow. With a sweeping motion of her hands, she conjured a convergence of fire and water magic.

A cascade of flames and crystalline water enveloped Erirfel and Gilda, creating a dazzling display of elemental mastery. The elven magic worked in tandem, each element enhancing the other in a harmonious dance.

The audience watched in awe as the dwarves, ensnared by nature's embrace, succumbed to the overwhelming magical forces.

As the flames and water subsided, the entwined dwarves stood subdued, their resilience no match for the intricate and powerful magic woven by the elven trio.

The cheers and applause from the spectators resonated throughout the colossal structure, Hollowdome, acknowledging the elves' victory in the magical duel.

Arannis approached the captured dwarves with a dignified demeanour, his eyes reflecting a mix of respect and acknowledgment for their valiant effort. With a wave of his hand, the magical restraints dissipated, releasing Erirfel and Gilda from their ensnared state.

The elven trio, having proven the potency of their magical prowess, regrouped and gracefully exited the arena.

The dwarven team, though defeated, displayed a stoic resolve, acknowledging the skill and finesse of their elven counterparts.

The atmosphere in the hollowdome buzzed with excitement and anticipation as the next duel loomed on the horizon. The elves, having secured their victory, left an indelible mark with their enchanting display of magic, setting the stage for the finals between academies at the Inter-Academic Summit.

Jaegar saw the retreating elves, his gaze lingering on their graceful movements and shimmering robes.
