Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Pierre pointed to the center of the group and said, "The one in the middle is the imperial prince, Prince Lorcan Gadfraye, and beside him is the school student council president, Veronica Izzard-Crew."

The name "Gadfraye" struck a chord with Jaegar, as it was his father's surname.

Intrigued, he observed Prince Lorcan closely, wondering if there was any connection to his own family.

Pierre continued, "He is also the captain of the soccer team in our academy." Jaegar's eyes widened with surprise; he hadn't known that soccer was played in this magical world.

Excitedly, he asked, "Are they playing now? Can we go?" Eager to experience this new sport, he was keen to see how it was played in a wizarding academy. Jennifer, on the other hand, excused herself, claiming she had some reading to do.

Together, Pierre and Jaegar made their way to the grounds, which were situated just a short distance from the academy.

As they reached the open field, a group of students were already present, and Veronica had been led to an open viewing area to watch the game.

Pierre took the opportunity to explain the rules of the game to Jaegar. In this unique version of the game, the players will buff themselves before the game, enhancing their strength, agility, and speed.

Over the years, the use of wands has become less common as children are born with innate magical talent, enabling them to control the flow of magical energy without external aids. Those individuals didn't need the wands to enhance or channel their magical energy, they were able to wield it effortlessly.

In ancient times, powerful wizards and witches didn't rely on wands; they were able to harness and control their magic naturally, using it as required. However, as time passed, wands emerged, and later generations became dependent on them, often neglecting the practice of magic without such external factors.

Wands had the advantage of filtering and amplifying a wizard's magical output, making it easier to channel their abilities. The incantations are used to bend the magic at their will and use it for their own purposes, like manipulating the elements and objects, and for several other purposes.

However, in the present age, there are few who were born with the same innate talent as their ancestors. Some of them no longer needed wands to utilize their magical abilities. They were born with a special ability that makes them wield their magical energy with precision and control.

These individuals are known as "natural-born wizards," and their unique gift allows them to tap into their magical powers effortlessly. With their innate talent, they can perform complex spells and enchantments without the aid of any external tools or incantations. This rare ability sets them apart from the majority of wizards who still rely on traditional methods to harness their magic.

Then he pointed at Lorcan and said, "He is one of them who doesn't need a wand. They must be starting the practise, you can watch it and you will understand."

The sun was shining brightly over the academy's open field as the students gathered for an exhilarating game of magical soccer. Even though it was just a practice match, there were a lot of students watching the game right now. Most of them were girls singing the only name 'Lorcan'.

Excitement filled the air as the players prepared to showcase their skills, enhanced by the use of spells to buff themselves. The soccer field was surrounded by a magical barrier, ensuring that no spells or wands could be used during the match, making it a true test of their physical abilities and soccer prowess. But they can buff themselves before entering the invisible barrier.

The buff lasts, depending on the spellcaster's ability. The players strategized and cast their spells carefully, knowing that the duration of their buffs could give them an advantage on the field. As the match began, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Among the players, Lorcan stood out as the star striker of his team. He was known for his incredible strength, speed, and agility, even without the aid of spells. His opponents often struggled to keep up with him as he weaved effortlessly through their defense.

As the referee blew the whistle, the game began, and the players surged forward with determination.

Lorcan quickly took control of the ball, his powerful strides propelling him down the field. With each step, he showcased his athleticism, dodging opponents left and right as they tried in vain to intercept the ball.

His teammates knew that Lorcan was a force to be reckoned with, and they passed the ball to him whenever they got the chance. With a flick of his foot, Lorcan sent the ball soaring towards the opposing team's goal.

Despite the buffed defenders, they struggled to match his speed and precision.

The role of the goalkeeper was crucial, and to meet the formidable challenges posed by the powerful strikes from the players, they had been equipped with magical gloves. These enchanted gloves were specially crafted to enhance their abilities, granting them an edge in defending against the furious oncoming attacks.

As the match began, the striker, Lorcan, wasted no time showcasing his incredible shooting prowess. With a swift movement, he launched a thunderous shot towards the goal, the ball crackling with raw magical energy. The onlookers gasped at the sheer force behind the strike.

But the goalkeeper, Cecelia, was more than ready for the challenge. She wore her magical gloves with confidence, her eyes focused solely on the incoming ball. As the ball hurtled towards her, Cecelia channeled her magic through the gloves, enhancing her reflexes and strength.

She was also one of the geniuses who didn't need a wand to use magic.

With lightning-fast reactions, Cecelia dived gracefully through the air, her hands extended towards the ball. The crowd held their breath, waiting to see if she could stop the seemingly unstoppable shot. The ball collided with her gloves, and a burst of magical energy erupted upon impact, creating a dazzling display of light.

Cecelia's gloves absorbed the force of the shot, and she pushed the ball away from the goal with precision. The crowd erupted into cheers, amazed by the skillful display of goalkeeping. Cecelia had successfully defied the odds and thwarted Lorcan's powerful strike.

Throughout the match, Cecelia continued to shine as she faced shot after shot from the talented striker. Her magical gloves allowed her to deflect even the swiftest and most forceful attempts on goal, making her an invaluable asset to her team.

But Lorcan was not one to back down from a challenge. With each shot, he became more determined to find a way past Cecelia's defenses. He tried different techniques, feints, and fakes, but Cecelia remained steadfast, using her magical gloves to meet his shots head-on.

With a final burst of speed, Lorcan made a swift maneuver past the defenders, the wind rushing past him as he approached the goal. He struck the ball with power and finesse, and it soared through the air like a comet, landing perfectly into the top corner of the net.

The crowd erupted into cheers as the ball hit the back of the net. Lorcan's team celebrated the incredible goal, knowing that they had a player who possessed natural talent and skill unmatched by any spell.

Throughout the game, Lorcan continued to dazzle with his physical prowess, sprinting past opponents, leaping high to win aerial duels, and displaying his exceptional ball control. Despite the opposing team's buffs, they couldn't keep up with his sheer strength and speed.

In the end, the match showcased an incredible display of skill and talent from both the striker and the goalkeeper. Lorcan's powerful shots tested Cecelia's abilities to the limit, and she rose to the occasion, proving herself as one of the finest goalkeepers in the academy.

As the final whistle blew, the match ended in a draw, and both teams congratulated each other on their remarkable performances. Cecelia and Lorcan exchanged nods of mutual respect, recognizing each other's abilities.

And this practice match was conducted among themselves, they were all Lionallores. Cecelia and Lorcan were the main players of the Lionallores team.
