Little Star Gate High School,
After Vincent Carey’s duel, the remaining duels were conducted as per schedule but none of them was as one-sided as Vincent Carey’s duel.
Time passed in a blink of an eye.
The year-end competition comes to a crucial end. Next, the duel is going to happen among the top 5 wizards. For that 6 top wizards were selected for the match including Vincent Carey.
[Vincent Carey vs Ron Brito]
When the announcement was made the crowd broke out in loud cheers. In the next second, the information about the two is shown on the big screen.
Seeing that Ron Brito is the 5th-ranked metal elemental wizard everyone sucked a cold breath of air.
The audience was going to witness a top-notch duel. When it comes to Vincent and the other top 5 wizards, everyone believes that no one will keep their hands.
…
(From MC’s perspective)
After hearing the announcement, I walked down the participant platform to enter the duel stage. When I walked past Liam Baker, that guy averted my gaze. I see that he was scared as sh!t. He wouldn’t have expected to lose to me.
Then I walked into the duel stage a couple of seconds later. I’m hearing the loud chant of my name. A quick glint flashed in my eyes.
I know people want to see my magic. But it will directly expose my real strength. Who knows? People with discerning eyes can see something wrong with my talent.
If people were to know about improvement in my talent, it would lead to a catastrophic disaster. Talent is something considered unchangeable.
So I don’t want to turn into a guinea pig for those mad research wizards. I will end this duel again using my body strength.
When I was lost in my thoughts, another person entered the stage slowly. He is none other than Ron Brito.
I raised my head and saw his confident face.
Next Second, I called out the system in mind, “System, Probe Ron Brito’s status.”
[“Ding! The Host’s voice is recognised”]
[“Ding! The command is executed”]
[Status Panel]
[Host’s Name – Ron Brito]
[Magic Power– Metal element]
[Mage Level – Level 1 Limiter]
[Talent – Middle Low]
[Color – Pale Green]
[Strength – 75]
[Speed – 74]
[Stamina – 73]
[Vitality – 76]
[Intelligence – 33]
[Soul Power – 35]
[Constitution – 36]
[Mana Power -32]
[Core Status – (60%)]
[Spells – 2]
>> 1. Metal Claw 2. Metal Shield
[Mental Method – Common absorption Art(Advanced Grade Method)]
A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. I began to go through his statistics. Everything looked normal and pretty average to me. But his statistics were strong for other wizards.
No wonder he had managed to secure the 5th position in my class. But compared to Jake House he is not worth mentioning.
Even his two metal spells were not much of a threat. I don’t know. Whether his metal shield can withstand the gravity magic or not. But the next second, I removed the thoughts.
Then I retracted the thoughts from the status panel and looked at the opponent.
The silver barrier began to envelop the stage.
On the other hand, Ron Brito sneered, “This guy is arrogant. No wonder Frank is pissed off by him.”
Ron Brito is still aware that the deal is still on. He can get his reward from Frank Lambert after defeating Vincent Carey here.
At the same time, Ron thinks about the previous duel. He had already analyzed Vincent’s strengths and weaknesses. He is confident in his metal element magic.
“He won’t be able to break my silver shield,” Ron said in his heart.
…
Participants area,
“Don’t spoil my mood,” Frank Lambert said to himself. His gaze never left Vincent Carey. He finally understood that he had underestimated Vincent Carey.
Like others, Vincent Carey also joined some good organizations. So it is normal for him to get resources from the organization. And when it comes to sub-taboo magic.
It is safe to say that Vincent perhaps received high-grade resources from the organization.
When Frank thinks about it, an envious glint flashes in his eyes.
“Harumph,” Then he gave a cold snort in his heart.
What resources? Frank still believes that Ron Brito will defeat Vincent Carey. Because the top 5 wizards have overall development. Apart from the resources, everyone has combat experience.
So Frank has trust in Ron Brito. His mind is occupied by the thoughts of Vincent Carey that he almost forgets about Victoria Shields.
At the same time, Victoria Shields her eyes gleamed with a twinkle. “Don’t tell me he will end the duel in seconds again,” She said to herself.
After observing the previous duel with Vincent, she has a vague feeling that Vincent Combat’s strength perhaps reached their level.
But this assumption feels absurd but she fears that it might be true. Then shaking her head, she let out a small sigh. “True or not, it will become clear in this duel,” She thought to herself.
Then she started at the fighting stage.
Not only her, even the aloof Brent Dale became serious. He looked at the duel stage and he didn’t want to miss a single detail about the duel.
The name sub-taboo magic also drew his attention. He wants to observe the true extent of sub-taboo magic.
Seeing the attentive look of Brent Dale. Danny Quinn was dumbstruck, “What happened to him?”
He knew it is not easy to attract Brent’s attention. Brent only looks at high standards. To think he is noticing the performance of a newcomer. A curiosity rose in Danny Quinn’s heart.
He realized there is something to the newcomer.
….
(From MC’s perspective)
Dual Stage,
When the silver barrier fully covered the stage the duel started.
Unlike the previous duels, this time Ron Brito didn’t make his first move. He silently observed him.
“Hmmm” I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
This guy didn’t even make his move. I was expecting a metal claw spell of his. My lips curved into a gentle arc.
Looks like I need to do something.
Instead of using my magic, I started back at him.
We both looked at each other.
Outside,
The crowd was confused witnessing the silent confrontation.
The atmosphere around the stadium is strangely quiet. Everyone is looking forward to seeing who will make the first move.
Ron Brito sneered inwardly. He had expected this to happen. Strangely Vincent is not using his magic spell. He is relying on body strength. Does something happen?
A doubt rose in his heart.
At the same time, I see the crowd is beginning to lose their patience. It is not wise to stay silent. So I moved but instead of dashing towards the opponent.
I casually walked towards him.
“What is going on?” 𝗼𝐯𝐥.𝗻𝐭
“Why didn’t they use their match?”
“Is the duel fixed or what?”
The audience starts to raise their voice. Some even accused the duel is fixed.
On the other hand, reporters and other media people are in a dilemma. They continued to focus their attention on the duel stage.
Ron Brito’s expression has changed drastically. Seeing that Vincent is casually walking towards him, he sneered inwardly, “What is this moron doing?”
He is alarmed all of a sudden. Is he going to release his spell all of a sudden? As this thought rises in his heart, he feels a sense of urgency.
“No I’m not going to let that happen,” he roared in his heart. The next second, he charged towards Vincent Carey without releasing his spell.
Seeing that some people were dumbfounded. Especially people who believe in Vincent Carey. They thought it would be a piece of cake for Vincent to defeat the person.
At the same time, he almost couldn’t control my laughter. I see that he wants to test my body strength. But I will not give him any opportunity to do that.
Because I have to keep my cards hidden for upcoming duels. So it is not wise to release the magic spell now.
Then a quick glint flashed in my eyes.
Ron Brito appeared in front of me. When he raised his fist to slam me. I disappeared from my spot and appeared behind him.
This all happened in a blink of an eye.
Then I repeated the same attack. I gave a fierce hit to his neck. The next second, Ron Brito fainted on the stage.
This is almost similar to a previous duel of mine. But the opponent is different. The next second, the silver barrier began to release.
The next second, I hear the booing sound of the crowd. The booing sound is so loud that I can feel that the crowd is very much displeased.
They were bored by seeing my repeated stunts. But I have to keep my cards hidden from the other top 4 wizards.
“Booooo”
“What is happening?”
“Cheaters”
“The duel is fixed.”
“Fixers”
People started to rant. The reporters also began to cover the audience. They were also displeased by the result. This time even worse, Ron Brito didn’t even use his metal magic and he was defeated by Vincent in one move.
