Chapter 290 Reporters’ Frenzy
Arena,
One hour later,
The whole arena was emptied. Not a single person can be seen inside the huge arena. Fortunately, wizards are different from regular humans. So there is no scene of a stampede.
Everyone exited the arena without causing injuries to others.
But the news already started to spread like a wildfire. Which caused panic among the red city's people. The sudden intrusion of a high-level wizard in the duel alarmed the police force in the city.
Nobody knows whether the intruder wanted a rogue wizard. But it can be seen that someone present at the scene successfully deterred that intruder.
Right now, Brent Dale is hospitalized at the school clinic.
Class teacher Eric is standing beside him to watch over him. Whereas chairman Benjamin is inquiring about the security guards on the other end.
And the headmaster Chester is taking care of wizard students in the school. The situation is so tense that everyone forgot about the duel.
Apart from a few media reporters, everyone else vacated. Right now everyone is demanding an answer from school authorities.
"Headmaster Chester, can you tell us?"
"What is going on?"
One of the female reporters asked in worry.
The same is echoed by her colleagues.
Chester got black lines on his forehead. He is standing in front of the administrative building. And a few reporters demanded some answers.
This tricky situation caused his headache. How was he supposed to know? Even the chairman is speculating that the intruder is related to that kid Brent Dale.
Right now the kid is unconscious. Only that kid Brent or his family can answer this question. His silence caused even more disturbance.
The only fortunate thing is that the live broadcast arranged by the school was stopped. So people who were waiting inside and outside of the school campus were unaware of his current circumstances.
Seeing the silence one of the reporters couldn't help but ask again, "Headmaster, many of the wizard students and their families were injured."
"Who is responsible for this?"
"What about the participants?"
"Hey, the intruder was stopped by some other strong wizard."
"Is he related to Little Star Gate High School?"
Chester Nixon is bombarded by continuous questions. Hearing that he twitched, he felt it was not good to stand there anymore.
"Alright, everyone. This is not the right time. I still have to take care of other things. After sorting it out, I will meet you guys by then," After saying that, Chester hurriedly went inside the building.
The reporters were stunned. Before they could follow him, they were stopped by the security guards.
Clinic,
Chairman Benjamin walked into the room.
After seeing Eric he asked, "How is he doing?"
There is nothing of worry on his face. He is already convinced that the situation is inseparable from Brent Dale.
In his heart, he really can't wait to wake up that kid. But he calmed down his heart. Already the situation is bad, he doesn't want to make it even worse.
Class teacher Eric's eyes lit up with surprise. Does he want to know what happened? But after hearing the question his eyes dimmed.
The condition of Brent Dale is rather serious. Looking at him, Eric answered in a solemn tone, "Chairman, that kid is one step away from getting crippled."
"There were small cracks on his mana core."
"For now he is administered with Grade 5 healing potion. Don't know what will happen next?"
Eric Wallace's expression is dejected. But Chairman Benjamin gave a cold snort. He didn't have sympathy for Brent Dale.
Even he assumed Brent Dale's injury was caused by the mana breath of a level-5 wizard. Previously, everyone witnessed how the silver barrier was broken into pieces.
So he didn't even think about Vincent Carey for a moment.
For a moment there was some silence.
Chairman Benjamin let out a deep sigh after a couple of seconds.
"I don't know how am I going to deal with this sh!t?" He grumbled.
Then suddenly recalled something and asked, "What about Vincent Carey?"
"Where is he?"
Benjamin almost forgot about Vincent Carey's situation. He was so occupied with the evaluation process that he didn't have time to think about the participants.
Eric Wallace replied, "He is fine. Right now he is staying inside the class with his family and friends."
A quick glint flashed in Benjamin's eyes. To think that kid avoided the attention in this way.
"Good" "Good" He uttered twice.
tap! tap!
All of a sudden loud footsteps were heard by them.
The headmaster Chester entered the room.
Chairman Benjamin wasn't surprised by his arrival. He asked, "What happened to those reporters?"
Chester Nixon revealed a bitter smile on his face. Then he quickly explained the ins and outs.
After hearing that Benjamin nodded his head and commented, "So we have to wait for the Dale family's arrival."
He made up his mind to confront Dale's family members about the intruders. Otherwise, he doesn't know how to escape from the reporters.
Beep!
All of a sudden his communication watch rang.
Seeing that, Benjamin looked at the contact. But after knowing that it's a certain big person from the police force. His heart skips a beat.
He had never expected them to catch on this quickly. Then he realized it must be related to a live broadcast of the duel.
The duel was broadcasted to the whole city. So there is no wonder that the police force knew about their situation.
Hearing the continuous buzzing, he then put the mode to silence. He is in no mood to answer the call. He knows if he failed to pick up this call. Then the people from the police force will come here sooner.
Chester and Eric looked at each other. They were quite used to this situation. After a moment of silence, Chester asked, "Chairman, do you know about the person who stopped the intruder?"
Eric Wallace perked up his ears. He too wants to know the answer.
A frown appeared on Benjamin's face. As far as he knows there is no other level-5 inside the school. Also, he didn't invite anyone to the competition.
When it comes to a powerful wizard family. Apart from the Dale family, no other families can dispatch the level-5 wizard. So the appearance of another wizard is also quite a mystery.
Then shaking his head, he replied, "I don't know?"
Chester and Eric widened their eyes in surprise.
Outside,
An hour ago,
John Meyer brought the person to a remote location. This is big farmland located quite a distance away from the school.
After dropping him down to the ground, he made up his mind to collect some information about the mysterious organization.
He had never expected such an opportunity to arise. But right now he has enough time on his hands.
Looking at the disheveled hair of a level-5 wizard. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. John Meyer is worried about the situation out there. Mana's breath released by this rogue wizard caused severe harm to people.
"You?"
"Who are you?"
The guardian protector of Brent Dale asked hysterically, pointing his finger at the unknown wizard in front of him.
Earlier, he rushed to the duel stage. But out of nowhere this person stopped and brought him here.
Feeling the strength of this person. The protector knows the unknown wizard is many times stronger than him.
So he gulped his saliva in fear. Now he doesn't know what happened to his young master. He shuddered thinking about the consequences.
If the family head knows about his incompetence then he will be skinned alive by the family head. For a moment, he almost forgot about the unknown wizard standing in front of him.
John Meyers gave a cold snort.
Only after that protector retracted his thoughts and looked at him.
"Who are you?"
"Are you from the Dale family or a mysterious organization?"
John Meyers inquired in a stern tone.
Hearing that the protector's pupil constricts. Who is this person? Earlier he assumed this person in front related to school management.
But now it looks like this person is different. His heart set off storms. Don't know what he is going to do. Is he after the young master's life?
Several questions popped up in his mind. Which scared him sh!t.
"I don't know?"
"What are you talking about?"
The protector blurted out in fear. But his heart was not calm at all. Originally, he hails from the Dale family. But later he used to run errands for some people from the mysterious organization.
He even started to think this unknown wizard in front of him is after those people. The next moment he broke out in cold sweat. He doesn't know how to escape from this situation.
He has a feeling that this person won't let him off that easily.
On the other, John Meyers sneered inwardly. He has seen many people like this. Especially people from prestigious mage families. At first, they won't tell you anything, but later they would eventually succumb to the pressure.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Do you think your young master will survive?" John Meyers asked without many expressions on his face.
Hearing that protector's expression darkened. Looks like this person is really after young master Brent Dale. Now he has no choice other than to answer him.
