Chapter 171 - Reflection of the Moon on the Water

His main opponent was Zak Van Spina, a young man with mid-length black hair and piercing green eyes marked by determination. A fifth-circle mage specialized in nature magic, he made thick, grasping vines burst from the frozen ground.

Zak's fingers traced green runes.

Living wooden tendrils burst forth, seeking to ensnare Jasper.

Another, thinner and faster, cracked like a snake toward his legs. Jasper barely dodged, one dagger cleanly severing a third vine.

Jasper tried to counterattack but the younger brother showed raw and aggressive talent, leaving no room for maneuver.

Not far away, a scene contrasted violently with the fury of the fight. Rosalinda Van Spina, sixth in the overall rankings, was kneeling beside a Twilight student who was bleeding from a gash on his leg.
