Using wind magic to generate a tornado, Yuno launched it at the approaching Grim.

'This is your chance Noelle!!'

Running from the dragon, Noelle saw through Yuno's intentions and pointed her wand at Grim.

With the tornado approaching him at such a speed, Grim would have no choice but to slow down if he wanted to dodge. With his wind magic enhanced by the power of the spirit, there was no doubt in Yuno's mind that Grim couldn't take this attack head on.

'I know this didn't work before, but this time... THIS TIME I'LL BEAT HIM!!'

[Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar]

*ROAR!!!*

Burst out of her wand, Noelle's dragon cut through the sky at an alarming speed.

*Yuno clenches his fists*

'This is it, its our win!'

With the tornado closing in on him and Noelle's dragon moments away from striking him, it was impossible for Grim to be able to deal with both. He had to either slow down in order to evade the tornado and get hit by the dragon or focus on dodging Noelle's dragon, but with the tornado moving as fast as it was he wouldn't have much time to do so.

At least that's what Yuno ȧssumed, it was just a shame that high expectations are usually followed by feelings of disappointment.

Watching the tornado fill his vision, Grim felt time slow down slightly as the corners of his lips curved upwards.

Holding the water sword down at his side with both hands, Grim's body was covered in a soft blue glow as his movements become so fluid that he somehow managed to smoothly dodge the oncoming tornado by twisting in mid-air without losing the momentum driving him forward.

*FWOOSH!!*

Feeling the wind push against his back as he twisted past the tornado, the tornado shot right past him as he finished his 360 degree turn and swung his sword that was down at his side upwards at Yuno!

[Constant Flux]

*ROAR!!*

"WHAT!!"

Bursting out of his sword, a water dragon suddenly charged out.

Caught off guard by Grim's actions, Yuno's eyes went wide as he didn't have enough time to react before the water dragon was already in front of him. .

Watching as Yuno was being eaten by a water dragon for the second time today, Grim burst into a fit of laughter.

"Yuno!!" Noelle screamed.

As if it could hear her, the ascending water dragon suddenly performed a mid-air U turn and dove downwards towards the child of royal blood.

When Grim used [Constant Flux] on Yuno, the dragon that Noelle had previously been running from had vanished giving her a chance to catch her breath. Now imagine her face when she had to start running again because of another water dragon.

Watching her run with all her might while firing off water bullets, Grim decided to end thing here.

[Sea Dragon's Roar]

In a last ditch effort to turn things around, Noelle unleashed her strongest spell in hopes of stopping Grim's dragon. It was just unfortunate that the moment her dragon came into contact with the other it was incapable of slowing it down let alone stopping it.

"Finish her."

Opening its mouth wide, Grim's dragon lowered its head and scooped Noelle up before swallowing her.

-Viewing Platform-

"One spell... He used one spell to take out 2 of his 3 enemies..."

Watching the scene in silence, the magic knights had nothing more to say. Whether they liked or hated him, everyone had to admit that Grim was a capable combatant.

-Battlefield-

Floating in the sky and looking at the scorched ground below him, Grim looked down upon his destruction and felt satisfied.

With both Noelle and Yuno taken care of by that dragon of his, the battle was pretty much done.

'I guess I should take care of the crystal now.'

Remembering that he had no idea where the enemy crystal was and that the entire point of the tournament was to destroy the opposing team's crystal and not the mages, Grim flashed in front of his team's crystal.

"Grim!!" David and Selena gasped in union.

"Yo." He wave.

[Breath of Wind - 4th Form: Rising Dust Storm]

Glowing green underneath the crystal, several blades of wind suddenly shot up and cut the crystal into pieces.

*DING!!* *DING!!* *DING!!*

"TEAM P WIN!!" The announcer yelled.

"WHAT!!" Was the response of everyone watching.

"Y-Yuno's team won..." Asta stuttered.

"He destroyed his own crystal... He forfeited the match!" A magic knight suddenly yelled angrily.

"He's looking down on the importance of this competition!"

"Does he have no shame!!"

"So many people fought so hard to protect their own crystals... So why did a disrespectful bastard like him make it this far!"

Enraged by Grim's action of throwing the match, the magic knights on the viewing platform voiced their complaints.

Julius on the other hand just shook his head.

From what he knew about Grim's personality, now that he had fought the people he had wanted to fight, this tournament no longer held any value to him. And what was more in his character? To take his time looking for the enemy crystal or just destroying his own?

'What an interesting boy.'

---

-Battlefield-

"Y-You destroyed the wrong crystal!!" Selena screeched looking at the broken pieces of their crystal.

"It wasn't the wrong one."

"What?! Why would you destroy our one!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Grim slowly started levitating off the ground.

"I didn't wanna drag this out for longer than it needed to be. And besides, you guys are royal knights now, your welcome."

"You want us to thank you! After what you just did!!"

"Want you? No, I expect you to do it."

*Badum*

"I-" Seeing the arrogant look on his face, Selena felt her face flush red as her to argue quickly diminished.

"T-Thank you."

'What is wrong with me! Why am I lowering my head?!!"

"Heh." Seeing her bowed head, Grim couldn't help but chuckle and look at David.

And contrary to his expectations, David had no problem thanking him. In truth, he knew that his magic was wildly unpredictable and that without Grim his chances of becoming a magic knight were drastically lower.

After getting the thanks he wanted, Grim took to the skies and faced the recording magic tool.

Using [Roast No Jutsu] again, he came up with some bullshit excuse as to why he destroyed his team's crystal. Something about how destroying it showed the upper class his rebellious spirit or some generic shit like that.

'These people are way to easy to trick.. I don't know whether I should worry for this kingdom's future or not.'
