Chapter 259 Expectations
Little Star Gate High School,
The smoke was cleared a few seconds later. Finally, the crowd saw the outcome of the spell attacks.
Gasp
The next second, the crowd exclaimed in disbelief. The shock was written all over their faces.
Everyone was dumbfounded looking at the unconscious body of Liam Baker on the ground. The outcome of the duel is the same as Vincent's previous duel.
The wizard students sucked cold breaths of air. Liam Baker was defeated in a matter of seconds. His two spell attacks failed to hit the opponent.
Looking at his unscathed and casual appearance of Vincent. Everyone felt unreal. Even at this time, Vincent Carey ended the duel in one move.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. When Liam Baker was confirmed unconscious. The winner of the duel was announced.
Then the audience let out a cheering roar. Vincent Carey ended both of his duels in a matter of seconds. Which is an unprecedented feat.
Frank Lambert trembled in fright for a moment. The outcome of the duel was way too scary for him. "What is going on?" His expression turned solemn. Right now, he feels the threat of Vincent Carey is higher than that of Victoria Shields.
Then everyone sets their eyes on the big screen where the duel's replay scene is going to be played. Everyone wants to know how Vincent was able to pull that off.
When the replay scene started, everyone glued their gazes to the big screen. After seeing Vincent's causal evasion of those spell attacks. The faces of the wizard students from the lower-rank division were discolored.
"Is it even possible?"
"His movements were perfect. This was not something a rookie was capable of in the first place."
"So this is the strength of elite wizards."
"Class A1 wizards' are monsters."
The wizard students from the lower-rank division broke out into cold sweats. This duel has shown them a clear difference in strength between Class A and the rest of the classes.
Class A1 is on a different level.
The media people almost became mad. They had never seen such an unpredictable duel before. Eric Marsh's duel was pale in comparison to Vincent Carey's.
Some staff already began to write articles online about the duel. The footage of duels beginning to trend online.
"Tck, once again I underestimated him," Victoria Shields twitched. Her gaze became intense, looking at Vincent Carey.
"He can defeat Liam without using his magic. Then his strength might not be lower than the top 5 wizards," She said in her heart.
How long has it been? Vincent Carey is a freshman. But he can already stand equal with senior students.
The more she thinks about it, the more she feels unreal. She also thought about one more thing. Which is raising one's strength through illegal methods.
Several doubts appeared in her heart.
Not only that, many other people thought the same thing.
At the same time, a quick glint flashed in Danny Quinn's eyes. "Interesting," He muttered to himself. He felt the new classmate is not as simple as it seems.
Brent Dale didn't make any comments. The outcome of the duel didn't affect him in any way.
Eric Marsh was once again dumbfounded by the result of the duel. He asked, "is he a level -1 wizard?"
Judy Ownes revealed a bitter smile on her face. She felt small in front of actual elite-class wizards. "Such a difference in strength," She sighed inwardly.
When she heard Eric's murmuring her eyes gleamed with a twinkle. She thought there was some truth to it. Vincent Carey perhaps reached the peak stage of level-1 rank.
This is the only possible reason she can think of. But again when she thinks about the top 5 wizards. Her expression immediately condensed. If Vincent is showing such strength then what about others?
Her heart was not calm. She finally came to realize there is such a gap that exists even among the class A1 wizards. She wrongly assumed that top wizards might be stronger than Vincent Carey.
Brian Carey, Lucas Brad and others were also stunned as well.
Inside the new viewing block,
The outcome of the duel made everyone petrified inside the room. Another duel ended in seconds.
"Is he on drugs or something?"
"It's impossible to defeat an elite wizard in seconds."
The staff begin to gossip. The result made them doubtful. Almost as if they were not satisfied with the result.
Chairman Benjamin was surprised by the result. But when he heard the voices of the staff behind him his expression changed drastically.
He immediately remembered the academy behind Vincent Carey.
The next second, he adjusted his obese body to turn around. Then his eyes scanned everyone present inside the room.
"Think before you speak."
"If you falsely accuse someone or spout nonsense no one can save you from your death," He said in a threatening tone.
Hearing that everyone became pale with fright.
Class teacher Eric and the headmaster Chester Nixon remained silent.
There are heavy consequences if you wrongly accuse someone. Especially if the person is a wizard the consequences will be even more severe.
Seeing that everyone quieted down. Chairman Benjamin nodded before turning back to their usual position.
He then asked the person standing beside him, "Eric, what do you think?"
Class teacher Eric replied with a smile, "I can only help him."
"Ha..Ha...Ha.., perhaps you are right," Chairman Benjamin nodded his head in approval. He is already aware of the yellow river academy. They made him fire the former headmaster.
So when it comes to Vincent Carey's sudden burst of strength. He is not surprised at all.
Then Chairman Benjamin glanced at another person, he asked, "Headmaster, what is your opinion?"
A quick glint flashed in Chester Nixon's eyes. He knows Vincent Carey's talent. So the only possible reason he can come up with a meditation method.
"He has a powerful meditation method," he said.
A realization dawned upon chairman man Benjamin. "It might be the real reason. Why haven't I thought of it before?" A better meditation method can increase the rate of core formation.
Which in turn benefits the magic power of the wizard. "Chester, you are really good." Chairman Benjamin once again thought Chester's answer came from his magic.
Class teacher Eric also saw the new headmaster in a new light. Apart from talent, the increase in strength can be related to the meditation method.
"So what do you think of that kid's real strength?" Chairman Benjamin asked.
Earlier, Chairman Benjamin made up his mind that there will be no changes when it comes to the top 5 wizards in Class A1.
They are not only the top 5 students in class A1 but in the entire school. But right now all of a sudden a real dark horse appeared before them.
Benjamin is looking forward to the clash among the top 5 wizards.
Chester Nixon commented, "He can almost defeat the 5th rank wizard."
Class teacher Eric also nodded his head and said, "I too think Vincent can defeat 5th-rank wizard Ron Brito. But above him it is impossible. "
"Frank Lambert has made drastic progress. So does Victoria Shields. And when it comes to the top 2, it's almost given that they too gained some progression," Class teacher Eric added further.
Chairman Benjamin heard both of their views. His eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He has his expectations but he didn't share his views with the two of them.
...
At the corner of the red city,
It is a small border town. The area is not well developed compared to big cities. Right now, many people are gathered inside an inn.
Everyone is watching the year-end competition of the little star gate high school on a projection screen.
This inn is a little famous around here. Now the magic duel competition has successfully attracted even more crowds.
"To think there is such a wizard school in our red city," one of the customers said with a sigh.
"Yeah, we are just regular humans. We can't think of such a mage school," Another customer added his opinion.
"Our little border town hasn't produced a single mage so far," The inn owner felt a little bitter in his heart.
Although the duel competition made everyone excited at the same time it brought despair to the little ones who were watching the duel.
At this time, a person wearing mercenary clothing walked out of the inn. His head was covered completely. His appearance made everyone not approach him casually.
After taking one glance at the little inn, he made his way towards the border. "To think that old man has failed to complete the mission," a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He is one of the members of the dark league from the red city branch. When the mission was announced he was present at the meeting.
At that time, he had planned to accept the mission. But that old man volunteered himself to complete the mission. Which made everyone displeased. He got almost pissed off.
If not for the old man's strength, he would have plummeted the old man then and there. Now after seeing that kid alive. He decided to return to the city after completing his current task.
