Chapter 242 Part Three: The Year-End Competition
(From MC's perspective)
The following day,
"Brother Vincent, what do you think about the match-up?" Fatty Lucas asked.
Yesterday's group now rejoined together. We were walking towards the star battle platform arena. But fatty's words made me frown.
I knew about fatty's information-gathering capacity. Did something happen? Various doubts appeared in my mind but I quickly covered them up and asked back, "What do you mean?"
Hearing that stern voice, fatty's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly replied, "Brother, don't get me wrong. But don't you think the matchups were already fixed,"
"The D-rank division wizards are going to fight against their people. It is similar with other divisions also," Fatty added further.
Hearing that, I raised my eyebrows. I understand what he wants to say. But if they allow A-rank or B-rank wizard students to fight against C rank or D rank. Then it's a bit overkill.
And the event will end in one whole day. Thinking about it, I sighed. But then again, this was the same topic discussed by us yesterday. Then why does he bring this up now?
I squinted my eyes and looked at fatty Lucas. I said, "I don't know. It's up to the school management. At the end of the day, the decision lies with them."
Then shaking my head, I stride forward.
"Wall has ears, so it is better not to discuss something like this again," Chrissy Heart stepped forward to remind Lucas Brad.
After saying that, she hurriedly followed behind Vincent Carey.
Lucas Brad was dumbfounded for a moment. The reason he had decided to raise this topic. Because he heard some rumors recently. But he doesn't know whether it is true or not.
So he hurriedly rushed forward to remind brother Vincent. If the rumor is true, then it will be immensely helpful for brother Vincent. Thinking that, he shouted, "Brother wait, I have something to tell you."
On the other hand, when I walked past a few people. I heard fatty's desperate voice behind me. Immediately, a quick glint flashed in my eyes.
My guess is true, he knows something. Realizing that, I stopped my footsteps and waited for fatty to reach me.
After a couple of seconds, Lucas successfully came dragging his fat body. "Brother, you are cruel," he said with a bitter smile on his face.
Chrissy Heart gave a cold snort in her heart. She feels Lucas is taking away her chances to strike upon Vincent Carey.
Bruce Hill and Mark Spear had a black line on their forehead. They don't know why this thorny rose had changed her temperament. She doesn't like to talk about Liam Baker anymore.
Bruce Hill quickly guessed it. When he realized that he wanted to cry without tears. In his opinion, Chrissy wants to hold Vincent's thigh.
"She had ditched Liam Baker's group," Bruce Hill let out a bitter laugh in his heart.
At first, they tagged along with Vincent because they wanted their earlier feud to end. Bruce thought after some apology their days would be returning to usual.
But recently he can't read Chrissy's mind at all. Everything is going in a new direction. He doesn't know what that guy(Liam) will do. If he knows about their actions.
Shaking his head, he looked at Mark who was standing beside him. Mark is simpler than him. He doesn't think much.
On the other hand, seeing fatty gasping for breath.
"Alright, can you tell me what's bothering you?" I asked in a solemn tone.
Without waiting for Lucas to open his mouth, I dragged him towards the secluded area. Right now, people are entering the area. It will take at least one hour for the whole area to be occupied by people.
Chrissy Heart's face sank. She bit her lips and didn't say anything. Bruce and Mark looked at each. Their purpose was long since over but because of Chrissy, they are still sticking to Vincent Carey.
On the other hand, fatty Lucas recovered to his usual. His expression condensed before talking about this rumor.
"Brother, I heard there is a wizard student in the C rank division."
"Rumor is that he can burn his blood to quickly raise his strength. If that happens his strength is no worse than B-rank division wizards," Lucas Brad said in a solemn tone.
My eyes gleamed with twinkle when I hear that. Burning one's own blood to improve strength is not a new concept. There are several options available for it like banned potion and other drugs. But they are banned across the country.
But if it's an awakened magic power then it's different. Usually, such methods come up with severe side effects. I don't know who that C-rank wizard student is.
If I can learn his name, I can use the probe function to see the truth. As this thought rose in my heart. I immediately looked at fatty and asked, "Do you know the name of the person?"
Lucas Brother shook his head before saying, "Brother as I said. There are rumors like this surfacing. Some say that wizard students from B rank division. But I don't believe the second version."
Hearing that I sighed inwardly. Like fatty said the person has to be from the C rank division. If he was from the B rank division, then his strength can rival A rank division wizards.
Which is absurd in my opinion. But nothing can be said now. Unless I see the truth through the probe function of the system.
"Alright, let's go. We can see it for ourselves eventually," I commented.
Then without waiting for the other three to join. I walked with a fatty. After entering the huge arena, we parted ways. Like yesterday, I went to the participant area to join my class.
Surprisingly, this time I'm the first one to come here. Seeing those absent seats, I immediately thought about yesterday's boring duel. I had expected some of them to come here.
But instead, I'm the lonely one standing here. Shaking my head, I walked forward to sit down.
Time passed,
After one hour, the whole area is filled with people. Which brought me a huge surprise. "Is it because of the live telecast?" Normally, no one should be interested in watching this boring duel.
Even I came here today because of the unique magic users from the special class. If not for them, I would be taking a similar rest at home. But surprisingly many people came here today to watch the duel.
Then I dispelled the thoughts and waited for the holographic screen to show today's match-up.
From time to time, I felt a lot of gazes on me. Including the media, they are showing my face because I'm the only one seated in the A rank division area.
Thinking about it, I revealed a bitter smile on my face.
Soon the name of the next participants was revealed. Two people from the D rank division stood up and walked towards the star battle platform stage.
Seeing that I patiently waited for their duel to end.
Time passed,
One by one, the number of wizard students from the D rank division started to decrease. When everyone participated from the D rank division. Next, the rank duel was conducted for the winners.
Seeing that, I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I assumed they would conduct the ranking duels on the last day. But surprisingly, new developments were taking place.
Looks like the management has decided to select a winner from each division. But my gaze fell on the two unique magic users.
If this goes on what will they do?
Various thoughts appeared in my mind.
Time passed,
After two hours, the final winner from the D rank division emerged as a winner. Miley Reese is a female mutated flower wizard.
After taking one look at her status, I sighed inwardly. Her attributes were fine except for mediocre talent. If not for her weak talent, there wouldn't have been any problem for her to join the A rank division.
"But it's a pity," I grumbled to myself.
When I thought about it, It was over. A new announcement was made all of a sudden.
[Congratulations to Miley Reese for her win.]
[A new challenge is now issued against Miley Reese.]
[Challenger name: Eric Marsh]
[Class: Special Class]
[The Challenge is mandatory. If you lose or deny, the D rank winner title will be obtained by the challenger.]
[The challenge duel will be held after the completion of C rank division duels.]
GASP
A loud exclamation reverberated throughout the arena.
Miley Reese's expression darkened. She has just won now. She thought that announcement was made to give her rewards. But surprisingly, the trash wizard from the special class issued her a direct challenge.
"What is going on?" She thought to herself.
But suddenly she found the limelight was too high. The media people continued to show her reaction on the holographic screen. Realizing that she hurriedly left the stage and decided to find her class teacher.
Participants area,
I became speechless for a second after hearing the following announcements. Not only me, the announcements sent a shock wave across the arena.
"Eric Marsh," My gaze fell on a brown-haired wizard the next second.
