Chapter 263 Negative Articles
Little Star Gate High School,
Victoria Shields calmly left the duel stage and Frank Lambert was taken to the clinic. This was the last duel of the day. Tomorrow will be more exciting.
Even though the announcement is not made. The people and reporters were already aware that the duel is going to be between Victoria Shields and Vincent Carey.
Now that Frank Lambert has turned out disappointed. Everyone focused their attention on tomorrow's duel.
Amongst the crowd was, Elder brother of Vincent. Brian Carey gulped his saliva. "Too strong," He muttered to himself. Today's event has wide-opened his eyes.
His younger brother is stronger than he had imagined. Vincent's strength can rival some of the senior brothers of his academy. Thinking about it, strange emotions flashed in Brian Carey's eyes.
Especially after learning that Vincent is going to fight the 3rd-rank wizard Victoria Shields. Brian's heart becomes complicated. He is pondering whether mum and dad will watch the duel.
Anyway, Brian decided to come again tomorrow to watch the duel.
People began to leave the arena. The students still can't get over the shock. The outcome of the duel was rather unexpected.
But still, some of the people already placed bets on tomorrow's duel. The majority of them are in favor of Victoria Shields. She is the ice beauty of the school.
Elite queen of the Little Star Gate High School.
She is only below the rank of the top 2 wizards. So it will be easier for her to defeat Vincent Carey.
Participants area,
The wizard's students were walking out. At this time, Brent Dale slowly got up from his seat. He opened his eyes and lazily looked at the exit. He saw Victoria leaving for the exit.
Seeing that a quick glint flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind.
"What do you think of the newcomer?" Danny Quinn asked.
His eyes never left Brent Dale after the duel was over. He knows Brent Dale already found something.
Brent Dale retracted his thoughts and turned towards Danny Quinn.
"I think you should stop calling him a newcomer," Saying that he walked towards the exit.
Danny Quinn was stunned for a moment. Then he seems to realize something. "So that newcomer's strength has already reached the peak in one year," He said to himself.
When he realizes this he finds it's not impossible. Because some of the students have good backgrounds behind them, including him and Brent Dale.
"Sigh"
"Then tomorrow's duel is worth watching," He said with a sigh.
While this was happening, a few top 10 wizards from class A began to flee in fear of Vincent Carey.
Because some of them had accepted text messages from Frank Lambert earlier. So they don't want to come across Vincent Carey any more.
...
(From MC's perspective)
The match ended without any suspension. Victoria Shields still kept her hand. Otherwise, she could have finished the duel in one go. Then my eyes flickered with a strange glint.
"Is it because of me?" My lips curved into a gentle arc. Because it was quite possible. Then shaking my head, I descended from the participants' area.
I already saw a few bugs fleeing in fear. I have no time for seeking revenge. Because I have bigger things on my plate. I need to figure out what is going on with the Dark League Organisation.
There is a strong possibility of encountering another enemy on my way back home. I just hope they won't send advanced-rank wizards.
When I walked past people. I saw many people wanting to reach me. I avoided them carefully to exit the arena.
After exiting the arena, I quickly found the fatty and others. They are waving their hands at me. Fortunately, the crowds were not allowed to stay inside the school campus after the duels.
Seeing that, I walked up to them.
"Brother Vincent, you did it again," Lucas Brad said with a laugh.
At this time Palmer and Timothy looked at each other.
Palmer asked, "Vincent, how strong are you?"
I smiled in response to both of their questions.
"Alright, see you guys tomorrow." After replying, I decided to exit.
"Brother, why are you hurrying?" Lucas Brad asked back in hurry.
He doesn't know why brother Vincent is avoiding them these days.
Palmer and Timothy were stunned as well.
"What's wrong," Timothy raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Hearing the voices, I felt my decision was abrupt. So I turned around and replied, "I need to prepare for tomorrow's duel. So hope you don't mind."
Lucas Brad sighed in relief. "So that's what it is?"
Palmer and Timothy understood as well. Then none of them disturbed Vincent.
On the other hand, I slowly walked towards the exit. But my mind is occupied with something else.
"Dark League?" A cold glint flashed in my eyes. I hope that the nagging feeling in my heart is wrong.
After walking out of the school, I covered my face with an ordinary mask. I don't want to get mobbed by the people and reporters.
Today's duel has attracted too much attention.
After slowly slipping away from the crowd. I moved towards my home direction.
15 minutes later,
When I reached closer, I found a few people camping in front of my house. For a second, I thought these guys were enemies. But after carefully looking at them. I realized they were reporters from a local media house.
They were faster than I had expected. Should I interview them? I had black lines on my forehead.
Now I encountered a new way of trouble. Then shaking my head, I slowly walked towards my home.
When I walked up to the front gate. People immediately recognised me.
"Hey, are you Vincent Carey?"
"Wait for me"
"Give us a small interview before going"
Soon five or more people hurried towards me with their gadgets. "What a mess?" I grumbled.
If I turn down the interview, it will become a huge mess. They will negatively portray me. They can drag down the school's name also.
Then I sighed inwardly before turning toward them. By that time, they had already appeared in front of me.
Click
Everyone held their gadget and waited for my statement.
"Hi, I'm Vincent Carey."
"I'm a bit nervous today. Hope you don't mind."
"I know, I should speak something for the interview. But I don't know what to talk about. At this point, I can only say that. I will give my best tomorrow."
After saying that, I opened the front gate to enter.
The reporters were a bit surprised. Because the statement was a bit short. And there is no time for them to ask questions.
But soon everyone realized that Vincent Carey is a school student. It was their fault to expect something from him. Then everyone left the area one by one.
On the other hand, after entering the home. I found there was no one inside. I'm a bit surprised. I understand mum and dad were probably in hospital. But what about Brian?
Something is not right. Then I removed these thoughts and walked towards my room.
"Creak"
After entering inside, I went to take a quick bath. I changed into comfortable clothes a few minutes later.
Laying on my bed, I ponder. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any enemies on my way back. It is just that these reporters were a bit annoying.
Thinking about reporters, I decided to check online.
I don't know what they have done with my name.
Soon I found my name trending online. Which is an expected one.
[Boring one-sided duels]
[Is the duel of Vincent Carey was fixed or what?]
[Vincent Carey: real or fake strength?]
[Vincent Carey: Another win without magic.]
Seeing multiple headlines popping up. I got black lines on my forehead. Right now, I feel glad that I gave some statements to reporters.
Otherwise, the negative articles about mine would have multiplied. But still, these articles were expected. Because the crowd booed me.
Then I saw articles about Victoria Shields.
[Victoria's overwhelming win]
[Victoria: Froze the opponent in one move]
[Victoria: The real elite wizard]
[Frank Lambert: A great disappointment.]
Seeing that, I revealed an amusing smile on my face. There are no negative articles about Victoria Shields. She did captivate everyone.
Then after scrolling down, I saw a few articles about Frank Lambert. I opened a few of them to read them.
Surprisingly, there is no positive news about Frank Lambert either. I didn't even expect it to turn out like this. It's normal for him to lose against Victoria.
I can't remember when was the last time he won against her. So his articles were based on the line, "Greater the expectations and greater the disappointment."
Will that fellow seek revenge? A quick glint flashed in my eyes. Why didn't I think about it before?
Frank Lambert is more sly than Jake House.
He lost his face badly. On top of it, these negative articles will further hurt his pride. So there is a high possibility for him to seek revenge.
If that is the case then I'll monitor him. Then I continued to read a few more articles.
