Duel Arena, YRA:
Somewhere in an isolated place of the Yellow River Academy, a massive colossal duel arena is located. The dueling ground is oval and it was surrounded by spectator spots. The spectator spots were divided into 12 separate spots.
Each spot is for one wizard hall in the academy. Apart from the spectator spot, there is a wide monitor room above the southern part of the spectator section.
Only people belonging to the Elder House and above were allowed in this room.
Right now, wizards from various halls start to come in. They immediately went to the seated area belonging to their respective areas.
As time goes on, the seats start to fill in. The majority of the spectators were members of Inner House. Because the duel is happening between the two Inner House Wizards.
The Outer House Wizards are not allowed in. Because they are not part of the academy in the true sense. They have to become Inner House members before accessing various facilities.
30 minutes later,
The first seated area to be filled with wizards was the group belonging to the Mechanical Hall. They are sitting under the banner of Mechanical Hall.
Right after, the wizards from the Transformation Hall start to occupy the sea fast. Wizards from these two halls first started their encounter with the Sub-Taboo Wizard Vincent Carey.
The majority of Vincent’s online popularity is because of the wizards from these two Halls.
After another half and four, wizards from 6 major Halls came to watch the duel. Still, there is some time left before the duel. The appearance of the other 6 Halls is expected to happen.
…
Meanwhile,
Clifton Cox is getting ready inside the Bloodline Hall.
“Boss, some of our wizards are already left for the duel arena,” One of his men said hurriedly.
A strange glint flashes in Clifton’s eyes. After yesterday’s return from meeting the True House Wizard. He is not thinking of himself at all.
He knows he has fallen into the trap of the seniors and there was no room for negotiation. He was thinking about challenging Vincent for fun earlier.
Now his higher-ups don’t want to see any room for failure. For that, they have given him the unknown potion. He knows deep in his heart that consuming that liquid will end up no good for him.
There is a certain possibility of damaging his potential for a moment. But if he doesn’t act according to their will, then his future survival would be difficult here.
And he knows the character of those two true house wizards. They will do anything to kill him if he steps outside of the academy. He remembers their warning that not even the clan senior can help him.
As these gloomy thoughts flash in his heart, he feels a little sad. But again he has confidence in his strength. He is a level-4 Ancient golden bloodline wizard.
And Vincent Carey is a newcomer. Even Sub-Taboo magic needs a period of growth. Certainly, for Vincent, his match-up is too early.
So Clifton is betting hope on this logic. Though Vincent’s record in the Battle Tower is suffocating. He believes that must be due to fighting across ranks. That can’t change the strength of the level-3 wizard.
The difference in strength between level-3 wizards and level-4 wizards is known to everyone. “Harumph, I don’t think he can simply overcome the gap in strength,” Clifton said with a snort.
Now that he thinks about it. His earlier gloominess in his heart was completely swept away at this moment.
He looked at his men and said, “Let’s go, I don’t want to waste any time here.” After saying that he left with his men.
….
Sub-Taboo Hall,
On the other hand, two people are waiting for Vincent to appear. One is the Senior Sister Carolina Slate, level-4 Deadly Vine Wizard. And then another one is Mark Talley, a level-5 plague wizard. He is one of the two core members of Sub-Taboo Wizard.
“Junior Sister, where is our new junior brother?” Mark Talley asked.
Mark Talley appeared to be in his early twenties. He has black hair and eyes. His skin tone is pale and appears to be bloodless. But it’s something to do with his plague magic.
Which is causing his body to look like he is suffering from illness. He wore a normal black shirt and pants with a coat on top of it. He stands 6t tall in height.
Right now his cold eyes scanned the entrance. He had long since heard of his new junior brother who got rare gravity magic. He is also aware that gravity magic has a special link to the academy.
It has something to do with a late ancestor in his history. Knowing all of this stuff, he can’t wait to see the style of his junior brother.
Carolina stood in a daze. She had never expected this senior to appear. Senior Mark is a reserved person usually not talkative. This time what happened? He came to see Junior Brother Vincent.
“Senior Mark, don’t worry. Vincent will be here soon,” She said with a smile.
Mark Talley adjusted his black coat before nodding his head. Suddenly he recalled something. He knows this duel is an official duel. He doesn’t know how this new junior brother had offended the bloodline hall.
Now that the duel has become official. He is sure that his seniors won’t stand behind the scenes. Especially when it comes to the antics of bloodline Hall.
Seniors won’t tolerate it at all.
He then turned toward Carolina and asked,” What about our seniors?”
“Are any of them coming?”
Carolina smiled and said, “Senior Gilbert might come to watch the duel.”
“Senior Gilbert?” Mark Talley exclaimed in surprise. He knows Senior Gilbert. Normally, True House Wizard won’t visit the Hall much often. Because they are busy focusing on their wizard path.
He had never expected Senior Gilbert to allocate time for this small duel. He held up his chin in contemplation.
Carolina observed Mark’s expression from the corner of her eyes. Her cunning eyes quickly saw through his thoughts. “He must be puzzled,” She said in her heart.
“Senior brother, you must be wondering about Senior Gilbert,” She said to Mark.
“Oh,” Mark Talley raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Then Carolina told what happened between Vincent and the Bloodline wizard.
After a few minutes, Mark Talley widened his eyes in surprise. “No wonder, Senior is willing to appear,” Mark Talley uttered in surprise.
Now that he knows the information. The bloodline wizards can do some tricks behind the scenes.
….
Back in the duel arena, almost 2/3 of the duel arena is filled with wizards. Now apart from the bloodline Hall and the Sub-Taboo Hall. Every other Hall had at least one or two members in the gallery.
Suddenly,
The atmosphere inside the arena quieted down all of a sudden.
Because of the direction of the bloodline hall. The wizards start to come in. Seeing that everyone wanted to see the silhouette of Clifton Cox. But as time goes on the other bloodline wizards start to come in.
But there was no silhouette of Clifton Cox.
Seeing that everyone shifted their attention to the ground. Everyone wants to see whether Clifton would appear below.
At this moment, two more people appeared in the direction of the bloodline hall. They were none other than the true house wizard of the bloodline hall.
The green-haired wizard looked in the direction of the Sub-Taboo Hall. But the gallery there looked empty without people. Realizing that they were the first ones to appear. He gave a cold snort in his heart.
The wizard with snake pupils also looked in that direction. Seeing those empty seats. He hissed a little bit.
“The from the Sub-Taboo Hall were arrogant as usual,” The green-haired wizard said in a cold tone.
When he turned toward Taboo Hall direction. There was at least one person seated. Who is none other than Lara White? Apart from her, no one was interested in the duel.
And the Taboo Hall has fewer members. So the appearance of Lara White attracted a lot of attention.
Meanwhile,
Lara White was stunned. “I’m the only one here,” She muttered to herself in shock. Seeing a lot of gazes on her. She suddenly regrets her decision to come here.
She thought it was just a normal duel. She had never expected to see the sea of crowds. Especially when her gaze turned toward the Sub-Taboo Hall. She lost her composure.
Because there was no one there. Her heart suddenly boils in anger. How come everyone here except the Sub-Taboo Hall? She feels this too much. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨
But she also knows that the time for the duel has not arrived yet. But thinking about it involves the face of her Hall. She couldn’t control her inner anger.
Now everyone will think that people from Taboo Hall came before Sub-Taboo Hall. Don’t know what message it will send? She quickly suppressed her dissatisfaction.
