Diana walked out of the large gate and stood on the arena. It had been modified to be slightly larger and slightly bigger than before. But it was only a few square meters wider and a few steps taller, nothing too scary.
Hans had a slightly dumbfounded look when he heard the "new" name for "King". But he didnt linger too long on it. Maybe something changed when Vita verbally attacked Cliff and he had to get some slight medical attention. Either way, he didnt pity anyone who betted on Diana losing this round. He could practically smell the gold coins. Odin was thinking the exact same thing, but didnt bother hiding his greedy smile. The only one with a stoic face among the three judges was Camille. She quietly let out a sigh while looking at the two gamblers with a tired look.
Camille looked at Diana and Vita. Getting a proper look at Vita, she couldnt help but wonder how the two met. Dragons are rare enough, but wendigos can be considered rarer because of their inability to increase their numbers. She knew that Odin has fought one before, but she knew the old man was more worried about his money and body rather than something he has fought and killed.
And then there was how Diana had managed to tame it. From what she knows of the family Wolfhearts hereditary magic was that it could be used to create a bond between monster and host. But for a wendigo to willingly join a humans side was strange. It must have been either tricked or caught of guard when the spell was used. There were many strange things Camille didnt have the answers too, but it didnt matter.
"We all saw Dianas and Vitas victory, and will their opponment be able to react on time?!" The announcer looked around the audience before continuing.
"Cliff Rowe, the voice of the wind, who blew away his enemy. Who will be pushed off first!?" Cliff walked to the arena with a frown and his hands curled into fists. The embarrasment from what happened in the waiting hall still lingered in his mind. Just thinking about it made him mad.
"Are both fighters ready?!" Diana nodded and Cliff lifted his fists. Vita didnt move at all, just waiting to see what the 'voice of wind' was supposed to look like.
"Start!" With a wave of her hand, the match had begun!
Right of the bat, Cliff shouted and a barerly visible airwave moved towards Diana! But a few vines from Vitas cape moved to block it. It didnt even make a dent in the wall of vines. Diana had only now reacted and was startled by the sudden wall of red. Cliff scoffed and let out another shout, aimed at Vitas face. Vita didnt even bother dodging as the airwave landed right on Vitas seven eyes.

Cliff was about to let out a laught, but it got stuck in his throat. Vita didnt even blink when the airwave landed.
Was that magic? Suprisinly lame, but its ok. Doesnt really do anything on the microscopic level exept push things. It cant be just pushing stuff with wind, right? Well, I can't complain. It isnt quite at the same level as the purple flames that the bone dragon created. Lets show this bitchboy how to properly use wind!
Vita raised hand up high. And with it, vines moved up the hand. Cliff felt a creeping sense of dread as the vines gathered together into a massive handheld fan. With a wave of the massive fan, Vita created enough wind to lift a car up the air. Cliff couldnt even try to stay on the ground against such winds. While in the air, he didnt give up and let out a whistle. The airwave was concentraded this time, intended to pierce throught Vitas head. But nothing was pierced. A see-through carapace was covering Vitas eye, blocking the sharp airwave.
With another wave of the massive vine fan, Vita blew Cliff away. Cliffs hair was all over the place as he was falling to the ground. But before falling, he let out a long scream. He tried to keep himself floating, but his wind magic wasnt strong enough. Cliff ended up landing on the ground, face first and letting out a weak groan.
"And the winner is Diana and her pet Vita!" The announcer, well, announced. With that, the crowd went started to cheer Dianas victory. Cliff got on his knees while holding his nose. Two guards walked up to him and escorted him away from the arena and to the medical hall for the second time.
The magical lightshow appaered in the sky one once, but this time Cliffs name was removed by a fire as Dianas name went further up the brackets. Most of the students were watching. Among the students, Heracles was smiling while holding a big stick kebab. Noel and Earl were watching too. Although Noel looked quite angry at the loss of of Cliff. Earl didnt seem to think too much of it, but he did seemed worried.
"Hmm" A man with a long red hair and a equally red beard sat on a lavish chair. The clothes he wore were a simple tunic, but they were decorated with gold and jewels.
He was thinking about Vita. Or rather, what Vita could be. He knew what a proper wendigo would look like. Him and ,the most-likely senile, Odin have seen and fought one before. It looks similar, but not quite. Its fighting style was different and it had vines. Not only that, but it had five too many eyes.
He groomed his beard while thinking about it. He reached for a cup that was on a small table in front of him. The liquid was black, not reflecting any light at all, with slight steam rising up from it.
After a short sip, he let out a sigh. With it, a small flame escaped his lips. He looked at the black liquid in the cup. His eyes looked at it while swirling it around. His eyes glowed slighly as the liquid started to bubble slightly. His eyes returned to normal, red with reptile eyes.
