After that the other matches continued at a normal pace. The others with high amounts of magic were winning with a good use of their skills. The most shocking one was Langris, who impressed most captains with his space magic attack power but lost points with some due to how he brutally tried to finish off his opponent for the 'sin of wasting his time', and the others who surprised everyone were Sol, who beat Gordon after a close fight that was definitely the highlight of the competition, and the smiling kid who almost killed his enemy thanks to beating him too much with thunder punches. During this whole thing Shirou kept talking with Mimosa and Noelle about the fights, the two girls were quite excited to see so many mages fighting and so many interesting and unique magics. Even Nozel commented during the fights, asking Shirou questions on how he would deal with different types of opponents that were in the field and he appreciated the answers as the fighting theories on how to approach the situations Shirou proposed were quite decent and realistic with his current skillset. More and more Nozel thought he should add Shirou into his squad as soon as he acquires his grimoire. This thought made his mood great, which of course was spoiled by the fact his useless little brother Solid had to open his mouth to make 'corrections' to Shirou's ideas and proving, again, that intelligence and talent definitely skipped Solid during his birth leaving him with... yeah, he didn't have much to his name at all.
