(From MC’s perspective)
The following day,
I saw the crowd was large in numbers. I wasn’t surprised by that. Because today is going to be the duel of the B rank division. When I was thinking about entering the arena, I sensed a cold gaze on my back.
Turning around, I saw Liam Baker. He is staring at me. Then a look of realization dawned upon me. “Did he find out about Chrissy Heart and others?” I grumbled.
The next second, I saw him walking towards me.
“I never thought you would steal my friends away from me,” Liam Baker said in a cold tone.
Hearing that I had black lines on my forehead. From the very beginning, I had detested that trio. So this guy had misunderstood me.
Shaking my head, I asked, “What are you talking about?”
“Harumph, don’t act like you don’t know,” After replying that he walked past me.
Seeing that, a cold glint flashed in my eyes. This guy better not have any crooked thoughts against me. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to commit another murder before graduating from this school.
Then after dispelling the thoughts, I waited outside the star battle arena. Usually, fatty Lucas would arrive before me. But this time he was late.
I saw students continue to walk past me. Some of them recognised me before entering the arena.
Soon, I saw the blue silhouette. When the silhouette was closer, I immediately recognised the person. He was none other than Lucas Brad.
Seeing that, I smiled. Then I found that he was alone. Not with Chrissy Heart, Bruce Hill and Mark Spear. I wasn’t surprised after witnessing Liam Baker’s attitude. He must have done something.
When fatty came closer, I observed his expression. His face was a little gloomy. I asked, “What happened?”
“Brother Vincent, Chrissy Heart and his friends were attacked by Liam Baker last night.”
“They were severely injured. It’s doubtful whether they’re gonna participate in our division duels,” Lucas Brad said with a saddened expression on his face.
Though his first meeting with Chrissy Heart and others was not good. But for the past few weeks, he had enjoyed their company. Right after hearing such bad news, he couldn’t help but hope that Vincent will help them.
Because he was powerless to do anything against Liam Baker.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes. But the next second, I let out a deep sigh. I had already warned them about this. But the trio had acted on their own. Now that they have suffered, they can only blame themselves.
Then I asked looking at the fatty, “How bad was their injury?” I just hope that they didn’t suffer life-threatening injuries.
Lucas Brad said with a sigh, “Brother, there was no life-threatening injury. But it will take some time for them to get discharged from the hospital.”
Hearing that I nodded in understanding. Then looking at the surroundings, I said, “Alright, let’s go inside.”
Lucas Brad wanted to say something. But in the end, he closed his mouth. He saw the attitude of Brother Vincent. It will take some time for him to convince him.
If brother Vincent can deter Liam Baker successfully, then Liam Baker won’t disturb Chrissy Heart and others.
After figuring it out, Lucas decided to discuss this matter after the end of today’s event. Then both separated after entering inside.
Lucas went to the spectator area, where I walked towards the usual participant area.
When I reached my seat, I saw Liam Baker with others. As I had expected today, most of them came to watch the duel. Except for the top four everyone is present.
Then dispelling the thoughts, I sat in my seat. Slowly, the participant area started to fill in. Finally, I saw the face of Frank Lambert. This guy looked confident and strong.
Then retracting my thoughts, I waited for the competition to start. After ten minutes, Victoria shields, Danny Quinn and Brent dale arrived. Like as usual, they minded their own business.
But I have a vague feeling that everyone is interested to see the mysterious unique user Eric Marsh. Last night, I saw many trending posts online in his name.
And today will be no different.
When the time for the event arrived, the announcement was made.
Two wizard students from the B rank division stood up when their names were announced. Starting from B rank, the wizard students who were going to participate in the competition were extremely strong.
The crowd broke out in cheers when the participants entered the stage. The silver barrier was immediately erected to provide a protective shield.
When the duel started, both of them released their magic at the same time.
A quick glint flashed in my eyes when I saw their magic.
“Water elemental magic,” I mumbled under my breath.
The participants have a similar type of magic. What a coincidence!
Both of them released extremely fast bullets at the same time. It was so fast that it was impossible for normal people to see.
BOOM
A terrible sound resonated throughout the whole area.
The water bullet attack has landed at an empty spot. The opponents evaded the incoming attack successfully.
All happened in a blink of an eye.
The next moment, I saw they continued the same tactic again.
What is more amazing to me is that? The water element seems different. A curiosity rose in my heart. I feel there is some change in attributes.
To verify, I probed both of their statuses using my system. Then I finally saw what the difference was. One of the wizard students has a freezing effect in his water element magic. And the other one has normal water elemental magic.
The difference is hard to notice. If not for my system, it would take some time to realize this. Then my lips curved into a small arc. This difference alone can determine the winner.
Because both of them have similar statistics. So I believe the one with the freezing effect will win if he plays his card wisely.
Time passed,
After one hour, the one with normal water elemental talent passed out. The remaining one was declared the winner.
After the end of the first match, the next match begins.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Finally, it was time for a final duel to determine the B-rank title winner. When the announcement was made, I looked at the expressions of some people.
Miley Reese, Eric Marsh and Tom Baltimore. Three of them intently looked at the B-rank participant area. Seeing that a faint flicker flashed in my eyes.
Especially, looking at the confident expression of Miley Reese. I couldn’t help but be stunned. I thought she would be gloomy and depressed. But looking at her calm face, I suspect something else is going on.
But I recovered my thoughts the next moment and looked at the fighting stage. Because the final duel is going to take place.
After the announcement was made, two female wizard students walked into the fighting stage. When I looked at their status, my eyes gleamed with expectation.
“Finally, there is some good magic,” I muttered to myself.
Because one of the female wizards has poison mist magic. Which is deadly enough to cause death to normal people. And the other female wizard is a close combat mage. Her weapon magic is an iron dagger.
Seeing that, a faint smile rose on my face. It can be deduced who is going to be the final winner.
If there is no chance, the poison mist wizard is going to win. But it was my assumption.
When the duel started, I saw the iron dagger wizard dash towards her opponent.
“Reckless,” the wizard student near me sneered.
Shaking my head, I looked at the poison mist wizard. She didn’t get alarmed by the opponent’s move. Rather she quickly releases her first spell.
Seeing that, a faint curiosity rose in my heart. I checked her status using my system again. Then I saw her two magic spells. One is the confusion mist and the other is the death mist.
When I looked at the stage, I saw the green color mist quickly spread around her. But the mist did not appear to be deadly. If my guess was correct, she used her first spell. 𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Because the second spell was deadly. If there is no careful preparation, the opponent is going to suffer.
This is not a life-or-death duel.
Looking at the second spell, a trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. “As expected B ranked above there were no mediocre wizards,” I sighed inwardly.
Poison is something which can cause damage to wizards across ranks. There is no level limitation. Suddenly, a certain someone comes to mind. “Leon Willy.”
That one was terrifying. Then dispelling the thoughts, I looked at the stage. Looking at the iron digger wizard, a hint of pity appeared in my eyes.
But don’t know why? I feel things will turn around eventually.
The iron dagger wizard didn’t retreat after seeing the opponent’s spell. Rather she continues to dash forward to approach her.
Everyone was amazed by such reckless behavior. Her attempt was nothing but a desperate move from others’ eyes.
