[ "Stellar Annihilation Waves" ]

The arena trembled as Mia unleashed her ultimate spell, the Stellar Annihilation Waves. Beams of frigid, starry energy erupted from her staff, creating a dazzling radiant of destruction that filled the Ice Palace. Seraphine was trapped within this icy maelstrom, unable to escape as the relentless waves of power battered her.

She tried to reduce the damage as much as possible through the mana barrier but Mia's attack was just too strong. And with her being trapped by the icy chain, she was also unable to dodge the attack.

Despite the overwhelming force of Mia's attack, Seraphine refused to give up.

"A-ARGH!"

Her Aasimar bloodline granted her incredible resilience, and she drew upon her divine energy to endure the onslaught. Her wings, suffused with mana, spread wide as she attempted to shield herself from the onslaught.

The audience watched in awe and tension, as the clash between Mia Frostine and Seraphine reached its zenith. The grand final had transformed into an epic battle between two extraordinary geniuses, each pushing themselves to their limits.

As the Stellar Annihilation Waves raged on, Seraphine's determination shone through. She started to push back against the onslaught, her spear glowing brighter with each passing moment. With a resounding cry, she channeled her mana into a counterattack. It was all for nothing as she decided to give up on her defense and counterattack.

[ "Heavenly Spear: Divine Eclipse" ]

Seraphine's counterattack sent shockwaves through the Ice Palace, creating a clash of titanic forces that threatened to tear the very fabric of reality. The audience could hardly believe their eyes as the two geniuses battled on, their powers colliding in a breathtaking display of magical prowess.

The protective barrier surrounding the arena also showed signs of breaking apart by the force of their collision.

Mia, though surprised by the intensity of Seraphine's counterattack, held her ground. She poured even more mana into the Stellar Annihilation Waves, determined to overpower her opponent. The very air crackled with the clash of their energies, and it seemed as though the fate of the world rested on this final confrontation.

But Seraphine was not to be outdone. With a burst of divine energy, she broke free from the Frostbite Chains that had ensnared her. Her wings unfurled fully, and she soared into the heart of the Stellar Annihilation Waves.

"AHHHH!"

Seraphine's spear shone brilliantly as she thrust it forward, aiming directly at Mia. However, she was also directly taking the hit, so there were injuries everywhere on her body.

But Seraphine didn't give much attention and continued to proceed and try to hit Mia. Seraphine's spear shone with a surge of divine power, clashing head-on with the Stellar Annihilation Waves. The collision between Seraphine's Heavenly Spear: Divine Eclipse and Mia's Stellar Annihilation Waves sent shockwaves rippling through the Ice Palace, shaking its very foundations. The audience watched in breathless anticipation as the battle between these two extraordinary sorcerers reached its climax.

The sheer force of the clash created a blinding explosion of light and energy, blurring the line between magic and reality. -CLANG!

The protective barrier that surrounded the arena cracked and splintered, unable to contain the cataclysmic power that raged within.

As the blinding explosion of magic and power subsided, a hushed silence fell over the stadium. The spectators watched with bated breath, awaiting the outcome of the epic battle between Mia Frostine and Seraphine.

As the smoke and dust began to clear, it became evident that Mia Frostine was still standing, albeit with a look of exhaustion on her face. Her Ice Palace had dissipated, and her staff trembled in her hand. Despite the strain on her face, there was a triumphant glint in her eyes.

Seraphine, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen. The force of the clash had sent her hurtling backward, and she had crashed into the far wall of the arena. The impact had knocked her unconscious, and her divine energy had waned considerably. Everyone looked with widened eyes. The battle of the geniuses has finally ended and it seems like the winner is Mia Frostine!

The referee, with a solemn expression, raised his hand and declared, "The winner of the grand final battle and the ultimate champion of the tournament is Mia Frostine!"

*CLAP! *CLAP!

The crowd erupted into thunderous applause, and cheers filled the air as Mia's victory was celebrated. Hiro's group joined in, their faces filled with pride for their former homeroom teacher. She had proven herself to be the greatest genius in the world, and her victory was well-deserved.

"She did it!"

Amelia said as she hugged Zero. She was very excited and happy that Mia had managed to defeat Seraphine and win the contest.

Zero also smiled as he was equally happy for Mia. "Hah… Hah… "

Mia Frostine stood in the center of the arena, her chest heaving with exhaustion. She had given her all in the battle, and the victory had not come easily. She glanced over at the unconscious form of Seraphine, a mix of relief and admiration in her eyes. Despite their fierce competition, Mia respected Seraphine's incredible strength and determination.

"I-I won!"

Mia muttered! The stadium continued to erupt with applause, and the cheers for Mia echoed throughout the arena. The humans were overjoyed with Mia's victory, and they celebrated with exuberance.

"I always believed in the Ice Enchantress! She is the strongest!"

"We won! I was really worried for a second."

"As I have said humans are the strongest race!" …

Humans were cheering and happy, while on the other hand, Aasimar was disappointed and sad about the result. Uriel and Gabriel had gone to help and check whether Seraphine was okay. She wasn't! Though Seraphine was breathing, she had suffered quite serious injuries due to her reckless act at the last moment.

Her wings were almost clipped off and her body wasn't in any better shape. It was only because she was Rank-S and had a strong body that she managed to stay alive.

Other than the Aasimar race, other races, geniuses, and spectators all cheered. Although their race didn't win, they knew when to acknowledge someone and Mia was worthy of their acknowledgment.

Amidst the deafening applause and cheers, King Thranduil approached the center of the arena to address the winner of the contest. With regal grace, King Thranduil extended his hand toward Mia and said, "Mia Frostine, you have proven yourself to be a truly remarkable mage and a worthy champion. Your mastery of ice magic and your unwavering determination have brought you victory in this contest of geniuses. I, King Thranduil, on behalf of the Elven Kingdom, offer you my congratulations."

Mia accepted the King's gesture with a respectful nod. "Thank you, King Thranduil!" she replied. "It has been an honor to compete in this contest, and I am deeply grateful for your kind words."

King Tranduil nodded. King Thranduil turned to face the remaining geniuses who had participated in the contest, his gaze filled with a mix of respect and appreciation for their incredible talents.

This contest has reassured him about Elara's plan and he has great expectations for everyone out here.

"Esteemed geniuses of various races," he began, his voice carrying through the hushed arena. "In this contest, I have witnessed a battle of unparalleled magnitude, a clash of intellect and power that has left us all in awe. Each of you has demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication to your craft."

As King Thranduil continued his address, the remaining geniuses gathered around, their expressions a mixture of exhaustion, pride, and anticipation. The arena was still buzzing with the energy of the epic battle they had just witnessed.

"As the ruler of the Elven Kingdom, I am deeply impressed by the talents displayed here today," King Thranduil continued. "This contest has shown that the bonds between our races are not only strong but can be a source of great inspiration and growth. It is my hope that the friendships forged during this competition will continue to thrive and bring our people closer together."

"In just a few days, all of you will gain access to the Luminary Spring. And rest assured, I haven't forgotten my promise to reward those who have shown promise in this contest. The rewards will come when it's time for you to visit the Luminary Spring!" assures the Elven King.
