Chapter 113 Part 1: Lucas Brad Vs Lex Root
(From MC Perspective)
Little Star Gate High School,
Combat teacher Freeman with a frowny face said, "I know you guys want to know what happened in the previous battle."
Then looking at everyone he added, "But let me tell you each wizard has their own trump card to win. Do you expect from other people to tell you about their tricks?"
The wizard students became quiet; they didn't dare to ask anymore. Combat teacher's words shut their mouths.
"Harumph, What a trump card? I will defeat him when he come acrosses me." Frank Lambert sneered in his heart. He obviously becomes jealous seeing the sub taboo gravity power. But nothing can be done here. This is something determined from birth.
Not only him there are quite others who have similar wavelength like him. Unless they get defeated by Vincent Carey, they won't get convinced. For that too it will take some time for rookie to gain strength like them.
Combat teacher's eyes flickered, he wasn't expecting such a reaction from his students. Well, It has to be said Vincent Carey doesn't look like a rookie at all. So he is slightly convinced.
Next Second, he said in a deep voice, "Alright, enough talk. Next challengers can come to the platform."
The student's eyes flickered with interest. Since it's a ranking challenge, people begin to eye their potential opponents. Even before Vincent came to the class, there was fierce competition between them.
Apart from the top 10, the rest of the ranking positions had frequent changes. Whenever the Challenge duel was connected.
At this moment opposite to Vincent & Lucas, two people were discussing in a hushed tone. "He doesn't look weak at all." For the first time Howard Bright is quite convinced by Philip's words.
Though there is one level rank difference between them. Unless there is a life or death duel no one can predict their actual strength. So for Howard Bright rank 25 or 24 it doesn't matter to him.
Howard Bright only decides to challenge if he thinks he has the capability to fight two or three ranks higher than him. Otherwise he won't bother. Right now, looking at challenge platform. He don't have idea to challenge others.
But he has no choice other than to defend his rank, if someone challenges him.
Beside him, Philip Turner has some thoughts coming to his mind. His interest in Vincent Carey piqued a little bit, he is quite convinced now that their team leader will keep an eye on Vincent.
Next Second, his gaze set on a few people who were standing quite away from the platform. They were all top rankers, among them a person with short short height observing the battle.
After taking a glance at him, Philip turned his attention towards the battle platform.
The other hand....
While this was going on, suddenly a silhouette walked out of the group of people and stepped inside the battle platform to challenge.
Seeing that combat teacher nodded at him. At Least someone plans to challenge now, so the combat teacher is quite pleased.
Rest of the attention also turned towards the person. But upon recognising the person people begin to laugh.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
"There is another jumping clown." Frank Lambert sneered after taking a glance at the person.
For top wizards like him, he wants to see duels between Wizards of their ranks. But it rarely happens. Only these average wizards use the challenge platform everytime.
Feeling that Frank Lambert began to lose interest in this battle. Turning away from the platform he glanced at Victoria Shields who was standing among her group of friends.
"I don't know? How much she has grown since last time?"" A fighting intent rose in Frank Lambert's heart. If had some information about his rival, it would help him to challey the party.
It is the same with Frank Lambert, he is not satisfied with his current 4th rank. He wants to challenge 3rd rank Victoria Shields. But he doesn't have the necessary information yet. Just as he was signing.
Inside the battle platform,
The lean figure opened his mouth to challenge, "I, Lex Root, Rank 31 Wind Element Wizard challenge Lucas Brad for the duel."
When his words reach everyone's ears. All of them have strange expressions on their faces. Obviously some of them already know about Lucas Brad's powers.
"That fat guy won't have Vincent's back this time." Chrissy Heart said with a cunning smile. This is the first time she smiled heartly after encountering Vincent and Lucas.
By hearing her words, Liam's eyes flicker with interest. He asked, "Have you seen him making a move before?" For him this is first he heard such a weird magic power. He never had dreamt about such a variant physique magic existing in this world.
Chrissy Heart's face lit up with a smile, "He...He...He...this fatty is a sidekick. I have never seen him use his magic yet."
Bruce couldn't hold on to his laughter. He chuckled and said, "I bet after today no one is able to be near him" He uttered with a mysterious smile on his face.
Even Mark, who used to have an expressionless face, his lips healed a little after listening to Bruce's words.
The other hand...
"Fart Magic, What a terrible variant?" Frank Lambert was dumbfounded. For most of the time the limelight is always on Vincent Carey. People rarely notice the person beside him.
After realizing Lucas is Vincent's friend. Frank doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sub taboo Magic is friends with Fart Magic. My goodness, where is this world going on?
Frank Lambert is speechless about Vincent Carey not Lucas Brad. He doesn't know? What soup did Lucas give Vincent so that he accepted him as a friend?
"Strange?" Frank mumbled under his breath.
Earlier, he was quite bored about the challenge. Though this is a match between the clowns. Yet it's quite interesting to watch.
The same type of conversion is happening among the students. Some embarrassed and others quite worried, what would happen if they associate with such a character?
Few others already decided to stay away from Lucas Brad.
The other hand.....
Lucas Brad is actually not surprised by the challenge. Because, Vincent had already told him about the situation. So he quite expected this, seeing the gaze of combat teacher's toward him he slowly nodded at him.
Then he turned towards Vincent beside him and said, "Brother Vincent, I'm going to face him now. After today, he won't dare to challenge me."
After saying that Lucas Brad walked towards the challenge platform.
"Sigh, fatty is going to have a hard time proving his strength" I uttered while looking at the disdainful smile of everyone.
To be honest, I myself have not seen fatty's magic power on play before. The opponent is a wind elemental Wizard which is also quite tricky. But I remember his strength was actually stronger than mine when we met for the first time.
So I'm not at all worried about the battle, I hope Fatty uses his brain instead of fighting blindly.
Then my eyes stared at the Lex Root, this is the best time to probe him otherwise the combat teacher would activate the shields.
"System, probe the status of Lex Root." I called out the system in mind.
"Ding! the Host's voice is recognised"
"Ding! the command is executed"

I looked at the status panel infront of me. After reading the information about the lex root. I let go of the worry in my heart. This lex guy has an advanced grade mental method which is quite better than Nick Ford.
Then why his attributes were lower than Nick Ford, my eyes flicker with interest. Maybe this fellow newbie might have entered 6 months earlier than us. Thay why his attributes were lower in numbers.
As long as he is given enough time, these guys might become formidable opponents. My eyes gleamed with interest. Various ideas came to mind, if he is really new one then I will try to ask him to join my side.
While I was thinking, the combat teacher activated the dome screen. As Lucas stepped inside to face his opponent. The above silver color dome screen begins to cover up the platform.
When it is completely covered up, the duel takes place in the next second.
Lex Root begins to observe Lucas Brad infront of him. Before coming here he learnt about Lucas Brad. Unlike Vincent, Lucas is quite weak. So he quite confident in taking down him than challenging against Sub-taboo Power.
Standing Opposite, Lucas Brad clenched his fist in anger. He never had thought that his first fight was going to be held in such circumstances.
