Little Star Gate High School,
When the duel started, Miley Reese made her first move. Blue color petals appeared out of thin air and flew towards Eric Marsh.
As a mutated flower wizard, she controlled the speed of the petals as fast as she could. She wanted the petals to drill holes in Eric Marsh’s body.
“He’s just a trash wizard. This move will be enough to make him bedridden for months,” She looked at Eric with a triumphant smile on her face.
On the other hand, Eric Marsh’s eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He has seen this spell of her earlier. So he knew what to do now. When the blue color petals reached him, he evaded those attacks one by one using his speed.
This all happened in a blink of an eye.
Miley Reese widened her eyes in surprise. So far none of her previous opponents remained unscathed from this petal attack. But this trash wizard has managed to dodge this attack somehow.
She is not dumb, her brain worked fast and she realised something. She might have underestimated the opponent. He is stronger than her classmates. When she saw through the key points her expression condensed.
Right now, she won’t want to use her second spell “Enstrangle” hastily.
Eric Marsh saw that the opponent didn’t continue the attack anymore.
This pause made the atmosphere remain pin-drop silent. Like Miley Reese, the audience was also curious about Eric Marsh’s power.
A quick glint flashed in Eric’s eyes when he realized that his opponent was waiting for him to make a move.
Realizing that he didn’t get worried, he decided to end the match himself.
WHOOSH
Eric Marsh dashed towards the opponent at full speed. His attribute was higher than Miley Reese’s. So he is not worried about her second spell.
Gasp
The audience broke out in cheer. They want to see what a wizard student from a special class is going to do.
Miley Reese became alert when she saw the opponent rushing towards her. When the distance between them narrowed. She immediately casts her second spell.
“Enstrangle”
Green vines released from her hands moved towards the incoming opponent. If not careful, the pointy edge of the vines may pierce through the opponent.
Seeing her second spell, the audience cheered more.
Eric Marsh revealed a small smile on his face. When the vines reached one foot before him, he immediately sidestepped to evade.
The next second, one more vine dashed towards him. Seeing that he immediately decided to evade.
But it was too late, the vine stabbed his forearm. Red blood was sprayed all over the ground.
Gasp
The crowd exclaimed in surprise. The vines’ speed was too fast. It was impossible to evade close quarters.
Miley Reese’s cold face revealed a triumphant smile. She knew no one could escape her green vines.
Everyone is wondering. What is this kid from the special class up to?
Inside the new viewing area,
A couple of seconds ago,
“Eric Marsh can evade those attacks,” Chairman Benjamin grumbled.
“Looks like his attributes were not weak,” He said to the new headmaster who was standing beside him.
Not only he, everyone in this room with discerning eyes can see. The strength of Eric Marsh is not weaker than D-rank wizards.
The headmaster Chester Nixon revealed a bright smile on his face. This is what he wanted earlier. He wanted chairman Benjamin to be surprised by his two students. .𝙘𝙤𝙢
“Ha..Ha…Ha….,”
“Chairman, I have told you earlier. These two little brats were good,” Chester Nixon said with a laugh.
Chairman Benjamin didn’t say anything but when he saw Miley Reese’s vines managed to cause injury.
“Looks like this is the end,” He muttered to himself.
Chester Nixon laughed in his heart. He saw no one cared about Eric Marsh’s magic. If they knew, then their reaction would have been different for sure.
He easily saw through Eric Marsh’s intentions. Eric can only defeat the opponent at a close quarter. In order not to alert the opponent, he didn’t reveal his spell.
After figuring out everything, a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
The Duel stage,
Eric saw the gleeful smile on her face. He understood she was underestimating him. Using this opportunity, he charged towards her.
Due to his sudden movement, Miley got startled and retracted her vines to make another attack. She thought he would concede defeat after that blow.
When he reached closer, he wasted no time in casting his first spell.
“Blood Fist,” Raising right his fist, he yelled the word.
The next moment, his fist enlarged twice in size. What is more surprising is that his fist changed into red blood color. Now the red blood first appeared to be the fist of a small giant.
Eric Marsh immediately moved his fist to attack her.
Miley Reese’s face sank. She doesn’t know what type of magic is it? But her instincts warned her not to let the blood fist hit her. She immediately moved her vines to wrap around the huge fist.
When the vines wrapped around the red fist, the next moment the vines weren’t able to withstand the blood power. Which caused them to break one by one.
Seeing the failure of the attack, Miley Reese’s expression darkened. “What kind of magic is that?” She said to herself.
She felt her opponent may be a power-type mage. Other than that, she couldn’t think of anything else for that monstrous strength.
When she decided to retreat, her expression became pale with fright. The blood-red fist came right before her eyes before smashing at her abdomen.
Boom
The impact force made her body crash into the barrier.
Puff
Miley Reese coughed up blood before she lost consciousness.
Thud
When her body dropped onto the ground. The winner was declared at the moment.
[Congratulations to Eric Marsh for your win.]
[Would you like to challenge Tom Baltimore next?]
“Yes,” Eric Marsh said in a firm tone.
Gasp
The crowd gasped. Everyone was amazed by Eric Marsh’s gigantic fist. From the normal audience to media houses, everyone is wondering about Eric Marsh’s magic talent.
But now that he had made another formal challenge. Everyone is looking forward to the duel.
At the participant’s area, Tom Baltimore’s face sank after seeing the unconscious body of Miley Reese.
Then he almost lost his cool when Eric challenged him. “Where did this peasant come from?” His eyes flashed in cold ruthless glint.
He is quietly looking forward to challenging the B-rank division wizards. But right now seeing someone challenge him. His heart boiled in anger. But fortunately, the next announcement calmed down his heart.
[The duel between Eric Marsh and Tom Baltimore will be held right after B rank division duels.]
“Harumph,” Tom gave a cold snort after hearing the announcement.
The Duel stage,
The barrier was lifted, and Eric Marsh walked out off the stage after the announcement. Before going to the participants’ area. He raised his head and looked at the viewing block.
He knows his teacher and management people were inside this new building.
Then Miley Reese was picked up by stand-by healers. They immediately shifted her to the clinic for treatment.
Inside the new viewing room,
A couple of minutes ago, when Eric Marsh released his first spell.
Chairman Benjamin’s eyes flickered with interest. The blood-red fist immediately drew his attention.
When he saw Miley Reese fainted directly from the blow. He got from the seat and asked, “Is he a power-type wizard or what?”
He didn’t even look at Chester Nixon but everyone knows this question was raised to him.
On the other hand, seeing that his students have won. Chester Nixon let go of his hanging heart. Now, the statement was made. Hereafter no one will question the implementation of the special class curriculum.
Then he saw the shock on Chairman Benjamin’s face. He revealed a small smile before replying, “He is not a power-type wizard but a variant.”
Gasp
The people inside the room exclaimed in surprise.
Chairman Benjamin uttered, “quiet”
The next second, the room quieted down suddenly. Chairman Benjamin turned around and looked at everyone before his gaze fell on Chester Nixon.
“I don’t understand. If he is a variant, then he should be at C rank or B rank division,” Chairman Benjamin said.
“How can he become a unique user?” He asked.
Chester Nixon wasn’t surprised by the question. He decided to explain calmly.
“Chairman, Eric Marsh’s magic is the human stove. It’s a variant of the physique. But it’s different from power-type wizards,” Chester Nixon said in a solemn tone.
“Human stove,” Chairman Benjamin’s eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
From these words alone he can guess something. But he waited for Chester Nixon to reveal more.
“Yes, Human Stove. Eric Marsh’s strength comes from his blood. As long as he can improve his blood, his strength will be increased,” Chester Nixon said.
Then he continued to say, “And also he can double his strength by burning up his blood.”
When he finished those words, everyone felt they were struck by thunder.
Chairman Benjamin wide opened his mouth in surprise, “What?”
