Chapter 147 Part 5: Star Battle Platform
(From MC's Perspective)
Little Star Gate High School,
Guest Room-Southern End.
I already confirmed the result of this duel, but I still observed both of the participants.
Victoria strides towards the star battle platform, followed by Frank Lambert, who has an ugly expression on his face.
Seeing Frank's expression, my lips curled a little. It looks like Frank is disturbed by Victoria's limelight. He won't be the same when he knows the truth.
At the same time, when the participants walked in, they were stared at by the wizard students present in the observer area.
"Gasp!" A loud exclamation breaks out all of a sudden.
Everyone had expected a good duel. But no one would have imagined them participating in the first duel.
The "Victoria Shields" and "Frank Lambert"
Wizard students started to chant their names. Except for new students, old students knew about these two. Some even watched previous star battle platform duels.
Among the elite, these two wizards were top notch. The Wizard students are looking forward to this duel with a lot of excitement on their faces.
Not only are students down at the observers' area. Even teachers and staff were surprised by the appearance of these two.
Guest Room-North End,
"Mr. Wallace, this is a pleasant surprise." Now I understand the reason for your silence,"One of the teachers who raised the question earlier said with a smile.
Earlier, Eric Wallace didn't give a proper response to that person. Now, that person completely misunderstood Eric's silence.
Hearing his words, a slight glint flashes in Mr. Wallace's eyes. In response, he just simply nodded at him and didn't utter anything. However, he immediately set his eyes in the direction of the opposite guest room.
"How did he convince them?" Mr. Wallace said in his heart.
He knew about his students' attitude towards Combat teacher Freeman. They respect him and his words, but at the same time, the top students have their own thoughts.
Even if Freeman asked them to participate in a Star Battle platform duel, the students wouldn't go unless they got confidence.
It's not like he was offended by them. But rather, he was glad in his heart. He didn't talk to his colleagues in this room because he was not sure who would participate this time.
On top of that, there is school management. Mr. Wallace takes a glance at the west end guest room. Others came to watch the show, but for Mr. Wallace, it's different.
Mr. Wallace's tense face eased a little. He ponders, now that top wizards are coming out of their closets for this duel. His trouble was solved. The school management won't question him anymore.
It's up to the school management to prepare the necessary resources for his wizard students. A slight glint flashed in Mr. Wallace's eyes as he recalled something.
"Monster Hunting Trip?" Mr. Wallace thought to himself.
If his students managed to impress everyone, then he decided to bring the topic of monster hunting to their (school management) table.
He shifted his attention towards his students after figuring it out.
Mr. Wallace has a vague feeling in his heart that school management will make some important decisions after watching the duels.
At the same time, Ms. Rivers' face moved upon seeing Victoria. "Swordsman Wizard, uh?" She said it in her heart. Even though she had some complaints against Class A1, she never undermined the Elite Wizards.
Last time, she had witnessed Frank's duel before but not Victoria's. She only heard of Victoria's battle prowess from her colleagues. So this will be the first time she watches Victoria's duel.
Guest Room-West End,
West End The guest room is one of the most spacious and luxurious rooms. Unlike the east end, this room has lots of expensive furniture, sofas, and chairs.
It's more like a meeting hall than a viewing room.
Right now, a person with a slightly obese body is sitting in the main chair. His eyes directly gazed at the Star Battle Platform.
People from the school administrative department were seated behind him.
The person is none other than the chairman of this school, Benjamin.
Chairman Benjamin didn't publicise his arrival at this school. But he came here all of a sudden for a reason.
After seeing the appearance of two wizard students, he takes out a small runic disc from his storage bracelet. He plans to record all the duels for some purpose.
Chairman Benjamin's sudden action surprised everyone. Some people with discerning eyes have already started to think about the new headmaster.
When Chairman Benjamin came, people from the administrative office were eager to meet the new headmaster. But except for Chairman Benjamin, there was no single person who came along with him.
This raised many questions in their hearts.
But this information won't spread until Mr. Benjamin exits the school.
At the same time, Chaimam Benjamin smiled after setting up the runic disk. "Thankfully, my trip here does not seem to be in vain," he said to himself.
Mr. Benjamin knows that everyone is looking forward to meeting the new headmaster. But before that, he needs to make some changes. It's about old school policies.
He knows it's high time for school to make some decisions. Last time, the situation with a student named Vincent Carey and his friend was a wakeup call for him.
Mr. Benjamin didn't want to get threatened anymore. He already made some plans regarding the school policies. Apart from talented students, the school will also give preference to special students.
Yes, special students. After long thinking, in order to not get harassed by the strong. Mr. Benjamin came up with this idea.
The students with mediocre talent were accepted as long as they managed to join any faction. The school will also allocate resources to them.
This is the idea Mr. Benjamin has in his mind. Talent and background, this is the direction the school will take in the future.
In this way, students from different blocks will benefit greatly.
Mr. Benjamin knew his school always followed a safe route. The students with a clear wizardry path were given much more importance than other people.
For example, an Elemental Wizard has a clear wizardry path to reach level-10 power. Many predcessors have already paved the way for them. Because of them, there were numerous mental spells, potions, and artifacts that were available in this world.
People with such wizardry have a much longer history than others.
When it comes to others, who don't have a clear wizardry path, it comes to the second category.
In Chairman Benjamin's opinion, the new kid, Lucas Brad, clearly comes under the second category. That fat kid has awakened fart magic. This variant magic didn't have a clear wizardry path.
But that kid was lucky enough to be backed by one of the largest food chains in this country.
A slight glint flashed in Mr. Benjamin's eyes as he thought about the name, "Marianne Food Chain."
Though this organisation is not a traditional magic organization, But still, they got power in terms of wealth. This organisation is economically strong, which can even rival some traditional powers.
All they have to do is to buy powerful wizards to work for them.
Mr. Benjamin knew about Vincent Carey and Lucas Brad when they successfully awakened their mid-grade magic talents.
It's usually for him to read the report about magic ceremonies taking place in his school.
At that time, Mr. Benjamin didn't mind it much.
But right now, his vision has been widely broadened due to Marianne Food Chain's investment in Lucas Brad, who has an unclear wizardry path.
After removing the previous headmaster, Mr. Benjamin thought a lot about it. He can understand Vincent Carey's situation. That kid's got subtaboo magic power. It's normal for him to get recruited by Yellow River Academy.
But in Lucas Brad's case, it's clear that his organisation is ready to assist him with resources and research. Mr. Benjamin doesn't know whether Lucas will succeed or not.
But when he was harassed by those people, He knew how serious they were. From that day forward, he realised that students with ambiguous wizardry paths have a chance as long as they have the support of forces.
With Mr. Benjamin's current policy, a huge change will take place on the school campus. There are a lot of students in this school who got Mid Grade Talent with weird, trashy, and unknown magic awakenings.
As long as they get support for them, a huge tilt in resources can be seen in the future. Even so, there is a possibility that Class A1's dominance could be affected.
Such crazy plans came to his mind. For Mr. Benjamin, the future only looked prosperous with his new policy plan.
Mr. Benjamin noticed two wizard students had already entered the Star battle platform as he retracted his thoughts.
"Beep!" A notification sound came from his assistant's watch.
"Chairman, the combat teacher is asking for permission to start the challenge." Mr. Benjamin's assistant informed him in a polite tone.
Mr. Benjamin furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Is he aware of my presence?"
"No!" The assistant shook his head in denial.
Mr. Benjamin nodded and told his assistant to start the challenge. The approval rating of Mr. Freeman dramatically increased in his heart.
Mr. Benjamin thought the combat teacher knew an important VIP might come to watch this duel. So he asked for permission first. "Clever!" He uttered it in his heart.
