Chapter 271 Final Duel: Postponed
Little Star Gate High School,
People who knew about Danny Quinn's magic power were alarmed. When they thought everything was going to be over. The sudden changes in the duel stage made them stunned.
Then everyone saw Danny Quinn's outcome. He was brutally injured. If not for life pulse is shown by a big screen. Everyone would have thought he was beaten to death.
Seeing the unconscious body of Danny Quinn, the crowd is in disbelief. Then a few seconds later after the announcement the winner Vincent Carey also fainted on the spot.
Gasp
The crowd sucked cold breaths of air. This duel is normal competition, not a life-or-death duel. Then why do both participants go to such a length to injure each other?
When the barrier was brought down completely. Both of them were taken to a clinic for further treatment.
But this sends an immediate shock wave across the arena. This is the first time they saw Vincent's bad state. So far he had ended the duel in one move.
But right now he failed to escape unscathed. The crowd didn't know what happened. Because apart from experienced mages others can't discern a trace of the spiritual wizard.
Inside the viewing block,
"It's over," Chairman Benjamin muttered to himself.
Then seeing the unconscious state of both students. He decided to visit the clinic to know their condition.
Then he hurriedly left the room. The Headmaster and Class teacher Eric also joined him. On the way, three of them expressed silence.
Especially Chairman Benjamin. He didn't make any comment about the result. Seeing that, Chester and Eric closed their mouths.
The result of the duel was unexpected. Everyone thought Vincent would suffer a life-threatening injury. But after the duel three of them are now more concerned about Danny Quinn.
His state looks worse than Victoria Shields.
While three of them from management were heading towards the clinic. On the other hand, the time for the final duel is not announced. Only after learning about Vincent's condition. The announcement can be made.
Participants area,
Brent Dale widened his eyes in surprise. His face was filled with shock. "How come?" He started to stutter. This result was unbelievable.
Brent Dale thought Danny Quinn would remain unscathed. But after the duel, he was in a state of disbelief. Because he knows Danny Quinn is a level-2 wizard and he is much stronger than Victoria.
So how come the newcomer won so easily? For a moment, Brent Dale's mind went blank. Unlike others, the result was hard to digest. Finally, after a couple of seconds, he calmed down his heart.
"So the newcomer is a level-2 wizard. And his strength is stronger than Danny Quinn," Brent Dale grumbled.
The newcomer reached level-2 rank in one year. Compared to senior wizards like them, the newcomer's progression is higher than theirs.
Brent Dale let out a bitter laugh. He felt glad that Danny Quinn had taken the hit for him. Earlier, he suspected the newcomer Vincent had some tricks to defeat the opponents.
But after Victoria's duel, he changed his opinion. Right now, he realized the newcomer Vincent Carey is a level-2 wizard. A quick glint flashed in his eyes when he thought about Danny Quinn's attack spell.
He believes the newcomer fainted due to a mental injury. His lips curved into a gentle arc thinking about it. This shows that Vincent Carey won't be ready for the final duel.
"I don't know whether he got crippled or not," Brent Dale said in his heart. Now that he knows Vincent is a level-2 wizard. He doubts it's unlikely. There is a high chance of recovery.
His expression turned gloomy after realizing this. "Harumph," Brent Dale gave a cold snort in his heart. Hereafter, any action against Vincent would seem suspicious. His eyes gleamed with a cold glint.
"Looks like the final duel is unavoidable. Well, in that case, I'll cripple him myself," Brent Dale made a firm decision in his heart. So far no one dared to challenge him.
Brent Dale expected to end his school life with this record. But out of nowhere, Vincent has risen greatly in rank.
When he was lost in thoughts, the announcement came.
[Vincent Carey has suffered an injury. So it's impossible to conduct the final duel today.]
[So the management has decided to conduct the final event two days later.]
Brent Dale rose from his seat. He wasn't surprised by the announcement. Now that situation is confirmed. He plans to retreat for two days. He needs to arrange a few tricks as well.
Then he immediately left the arena without waiting for others.
The announcement has made some people unsettled. Especially the wizard students who hate Vincent Carey.
Frank Lambert's face darkened. At the same time, fear rose in his heart. After hearing the announcement about Vincent's injury, instead of being happy, he worries.
Vincent has the strength to defeat Brent Dale. Which shows that they were nothing but ants in front of Vincent Carey. "No, I need to tell father about this," He said to himself. He fears that Vincent would retaliate back in revenge.
As this thought rose in his heart, he too hurried back towards his home.
Not only he but others are also in an extreme state of fear. "I'm going to change schools," Liam Baker sighed inwardly.
He already lost his confidence after witnessing Vincent's strength. But right now, he doesn't want to come across Vincent Carey anymore in his life.
To think Danny Quinn was defeated by Vincent Carey. Liam Baker gulped his saliva in fear. He remembered a few days ago, he had thrashed his former friends.
Now they were around Vincent's good brother Lucas Brad. A cold shiver went down his spine. He can't imagine what would happen to him if they choose to seek revenge.
At this time, Liam Baker regretted his action. Now it's too late to change anything. The idea of changing schools became firm in his mind. "Life is more important than school now," Liam Baker said to himself.
Then he hurriedly ran towards the exit. Few wizards repeated the same action. Seeing that some of the nearby students were confused. But one of the wizards laughed in his heart.
"Fortunately, I'm not like them," Ron Brito said in his heart. He watched the back of Brent Dale, Frank Lambert, Liam Baker and other wizards.
He knew what was going on in their mind. Especially Frank Lambert. Ron Brito believes there will be a lot of changes after this competition.
Similarly,
"Brother Vincent is injured. Let's go and see him," Lucas Brad got up from his seat.
He was shocked. He has no idea how Vincent got injured. But he knows that announcement was made after the assessment.
Palmer and Timothy stood up.
Chrissy Heart, Bruce Spear and Mark Hill choose to follow.
Everyone was shocked by the result. But this is not the time for talk. They need to see how Vincent is doing. All of them ran towards the exit.
At the same time, the crowd started to leave. The media reports were waiting for future updates. Everyone want to know how serious the injury is?
Outside of school,
The dark league member Carlos furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure. Now he understands where his bad premonition of his comes from.
He thought Vincent would leave after school. But the result of the duel was way beyond his expectations.
"Since that kid is injured. He is probably undergoing treatment right now. So it is impossible to kill him anytime soon," Carlos said to himself.
There is the possibility that medical facilities might be under the protection of high-rank wizards. Tsk! That kid has good luck.
Carlos felt a headache. He needs to get advice from the branch head for further action. The crowd started to disperse slowly. They can't wait to see the final duel after two days.
Using this opportunity, Carlos immediately moved to a good spot to contact the branch head.
As a Rank-5 wizard, no one in this vicinity can pry on his details. Unless there is a wizard above him in this surrounding area.
Carlos is aware that there is no such possibility. So he confidently contacted his leader using the communication watch.
When the contact was made. He immediately said, "Head, there is a new problem here."
Before he could explain everything, a voice from the other end of the call interrupted him. "Hmmm, I know that kid is injured."
Carl's eyes lit up with light. He hadn't expected the branch head to watch this insignificant duel.
Carlos asked, "Then head, what should I do?"
"Now that kids' performance has unsettled many people. Especially the headquarters in particular. Looks like they have also watched the duel," the branch head replied in a solemn tone.
"Head, what do you mean?" Carlos was shocked to the core.
This insignificant school duel has attracted the attention of giants. He won't know what to say for a moment.
The branch head added further after a pause, "Yes, many people were keeping an eye on that kid. So if you delay further, then it will become impossible to kill that kid again."
Carlos's face becomes ugly. He realizes there is something true to this matter. He should complete this mission as soon as possible.
