Chapter 287 Brent Dale: The Blood Manipulator
Arena,
The crowd was confused. Even the media reporters don't know what is going on. They all look bewildered. Only one person in the crowd revealed a knowing smile on his face.
The colorless powder contained in the small veil is not an ordinary item. Once it gets inhaled by the wizard, it will severely affect their mind. Especially in Vincent's case, he will suffer more.
He has previously suffered a mental injury under Danny's attack. So that's why Brent Dale exclusively prepared colorless powder for him. Now that his schemes were successful, he is sure to win the duel for sure.
Brent Dale revealed a wide grin on his face.
When everyone was wondering, the announcement came all of a sudden.
[Let's welcome the contestants for the final duel on stage.]
[Brent Dale vs Vincent Carey]
Cheer!
The next moment the crowd forgot about the strangeness and let out a roaring cheer. Even the media reporters diverted their attention back to the duel.
After hearing the announcement, Brent Dale and Vincent Carey walked towards the arena.
New viewing room,
A couple of minutes ago,
"How dare he?" Chairman Benjamin let out a furious roar. He saw through Frank Lambert's tricks. On top of it, none of them here instructed security guards to move.
So with his vast experience, no need to guess. Benjamin can guess it has something to do with Lambert's family.
On the other hand, The headmaster's face turned ugly. They were hoping that the final duel would end without any disturbance.
But who would have thought someone would be daring enough to move before the duel?
Class teacher Eric asked in a solemn tone," has any of you noticed what he was up to?" Frank Lambert's actions were subtle. So they failed to notice anything strange.
Benjamin has a serious expression on. He answered, "Frank Lambert must have done something. Otherwise, there is no need for Vincent to release his mana breath."
Headmaster Chester opened his mouth to say, "Should we postpone the duel?" He knows it's highly unlikely but in curiosity, he asked.
A quick glint flashed in Benjamin's eyes. He saw Vincent, he found there were no abnormalities. Earlier, everyone saw him moving away from Frank.
So Benjamin thinks Vincent is alright. At the same time, to confront Lambert's family. He has to make some plans. On top of it, the school's name will be spoiled, if the news is leaked out.
No way, for him the school's reputation is of utmost importance. Whatever Frank has done, it must not be leaked to the public. This thing must be dealt with secretly.
The next moment, he instructed his assistant to start the duel right now.
Hearing that Eric and Chester looked at each other. For the Chairman Benjamin's actions were predictable. The class teacher sighed inwardly.
The thing he hates to see is the involvement of mage families' interference in school affairs.

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Then I immediately observed any changes in attributes. But after some seconds, I breathe a sigh of relief.
The earlier deadly warning didn't affect me in the end. Thank goodness, I moved away from Frank quickly.
Suddenly the announcement came out of nowhere.
After hearing the announcement, a hint of surprise flashed in my eyes. But I kept my expression normal and walked up to the duel stage.
The crowd continues to chant my and Brent Dale's names. Hearing that I looked at the opposite side. Coincidentally he is also staring at me.
When two of our eyes met with each other. My eyes gleamed with a cold glint. Looking at the evil grin on his face. Don't know why? I feel something strange.
But I removed the unnecessary thoughts from my mind and reached the duel stage.
When the two of us stood opposite each other. I raised my head to look into his eyes. Finally, I can see what he is truly hiding. This time, I concentrated a little bit more before probing his status.
"System, probe Brent Dale's status," I said to the system in mind.
[Ding! The Host's command is recognised.]
[Ding! Level-Up System, 1.1 is ready.]

Seeing the status panel, my expression changed drastically. I finally realized the rumors were indeed true. This guy is one step away from reaching level 3.
Then my gaze set on his awakened magic which is also weird as per rumor. No wonder his information was classified.
On the other hand, the silver barrier started to envelop the duel stage.
But I couldn't help but look twice at two spells of his. The spells were also abnormal. I doubt anyone other than him knows about this. After digesting the facts, I sighed inwardly.
No wonder, no one in the class was able to defeat him. With Brent's power, he can defeat anyone in the class with brute force alone.
Fortunately, I improved myself because of the meteor rock. Otherwise, things would have been different for sure.
When I noticed the silver barrier almost covered the stage. A quick glint flashed in my eyes.
My mind sprang up in action to find a solution. This time I made up my mind to use other spells. When it comes to Brent Dale's spells. I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to engage in close combat.
So I feel it's better to keep some distance between us.
At the same time, when the silver barrier is covered. I heard the creepy laughter of Brent Dale.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...."
"Finally, it's time to show my magic in front of the whole world," Brent Dale said with laughter.
Cheer!
The crowd's cheer almost made his blood boil. Then his gaze set on the lamb in front of him. He doesn't know whether any representatives from his mysterious organization are observing the duel.
As long as he makes a good impression, he will have smooth sailing in his organization.
...
Several minutes ago,
Frank Lambert saw his family butler. But before he could answer him. He fainted on the spot. The colorless powder inhaled by him finally started to take some effect.
The old butler of the family suddenly got alarmed. He picked up his young master's body and started to rush towards the family.
The old Butler doesn't want the help of the school clinic. If they find something amiss, then they have to deal with endless sh!t later.
A few minutes later,
John Meyers secretly followed Vincent's family to the school. By the time they reached the arena the announcement was already made. This surprised the family very much.
"What is going on?" Father Brad grumbled.
Mother Lila Carey was also surprised by the situation. Only Brian Carey understood something. He answered calmly, "Maybe it has something to do with the crowd."
Hearing that the old couple nodded their heads. Then without waiting for any further three of them entered the arena. Brian Carey already reserved their seats for the duel.
When they saw Vincent on the stage and almost ready for the duel. The family rushed towards their seat.
On the other hand, John Meyer is hiding in clouds. Unlike others, he faced no trouble roaming inside the campus.
When he saw Brent Dale and Vincent Carey on stage, his eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Earlier, he caught some traces of a level-5 wizard near Vincent's home. He almost thought that the dark league had sent another pawn to this city.
But surprisingly, the other party has left after simple probing. Like the unknown wizard has come to verify something. Which made him conclude that it was not the work of the dark league.
Also, the Quinn family was strictly warned by them. So this wizard is not related to Quinn's family either. Then who is he?
At this point, John Meyers made up his mind not to waste any more time after the duel.
