Chapter 802 Part 1: Pete vs Wells
?From MC's perspective:
Duel Platform,
After closing the status panel, I looked towards Clay who was recovering slowly. Then the medicine hall wizards left the place.
He slowly returned to his seat.
Jennie, the ghost transformation sighed inwardly. She looked towards Vincent Carey before turning towards Clay.
To be honest she was expecting Clay's chameleon transformation to cause trouble to this Sub-Taboo Wizard.
But it's a pity, she thinks that Clay lost the duel. Because he was not closest to Vincent Carey. Otherwise, he could have attacked the opponent while maintaining invisibility.
She thinks that Clay has lost before truly utilizing the spell. The opponent's long-range control spell had hit Clay before he could make real moves.
But she didn't know that Vincent had information with the help of the system. Even if Clay had done something different, the ending would be the same.
But apart from Vincent, no one can guess this even the high-ranking council elders.
Sub-Taboo Hall:
"This kid is smart. Looks like we don't have to teach him in the future," Galvin Martin said with a smile. Because he saw that Vincent waited for a moment before casting the magic spell.
This shows that Vincent was not relying entirely on the spell. He is using his mind during the duel.
Gilbert Reese sitting beside him showed a relieved look. They are betting high hopes on Vincent Carey. Because Vincent Carey would be the one who will be leading the next generation of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
If he does well, then it will reflect on the reputation of the Sub-Taboo Hall. So in the future, they won't be having a hard time recruiting wizard students from all over the country.
Then looking at the big screen, he commented, "Elder, I guess the top 10 can be finalized."
Then he thought of something before adding, "Elder, I think Vincent won't stay silent after the duel. I guess he will be asking for leave."
"Leave?" Galvin muttered to himself.
Then he looked at Gilbert with a questioning gaze.
"There will be a few weeks before the next big competition conducted by 3 big academies. And I don't think Vincent would choose to stay in the academy until then," Gilbert added.
Hearing that Galvin's eyes flickered. He knows more than Gilbert Reese. The upcoming big competition will be different. The results of that competition are going to change many things.
So the top 10 of the internal competition in both level-5 and level-6 categories are important wizard seeds of this academy.
If they go outside with this tag, they will face a series of assassinations. Galvin's expression turned golem.
"It doesn't matter what happens. But don't allow him to go outside. He has faced many dangers so far, but if he goes outside this time," Galvin said.
"I won't be surprised. If the other 2 academies take part in the assassination as well," He added.
Gilbert Reese was stunned. He hasn't seriously thought about this before. He thought after seeing the powerhouse taking action. Hostile forces would think twice before doing something against Vincent.
Galvin saw through his thoughts.
He checked and said, "Do you think the other 2 academies don't have powerhouses?"
"If something affects their peace and stability, they won't be afraid to take action," He said.
"It's good that Vincent is doing well. But I hope he knows how to hide himself. Sometimes it's not good to be too good," he added.
Right now, the Yellow River Academy is known for having more Bloodline Wizard students compared to the other 2 academies.
The Weapon Palace by its name, it's the place for Weapon Wizards. And the Royal Force Hall is known for having more elemental wizards.
Not only common elemental wizards. But also other rare variants. Like Mike Curtis of Taboo Hall. His magic comes under the Elemental category.
But he was placed in Taboo Hall. Because of his talent and rare magic. It's a place for Elite Wizards. Similarly, it's for Sub-Taboo Hall. But they are treated as second in the category.
Dean Tower:
The old man's face was full of smiles. The duel is going on. But he has already predicted the final 10. The people he had wanted in the top 10 have successfully made their way to the top 10.
Which include the Taboo Wizard Mike Curtis, Sub-Taboo Wizard Vincent Carey, the Ghost Transformation Wizard Jennie, The Bloodline Wizard Aaron, The Mechanical Wizard Rayon, The Unique Hall Wizard Miranda, and others.
There are others whom he was optimistic about. But they have not made the move yet. For example, Rutz from the Power Hall, The Elemental Wizard Pete is popularly known as the Blue Flame Wizard.
He is expecting the Beast Hall to do as well.
On the platform,
The referee started looking towards others. Gradually, the top ten list is taking shape. All the eligible and talented genius wizards have entered the top 10 ranks.
There are not many chances left for others to get a place in the top 10.
Under the gaze of everyone, someone stood up. When the gazes fell on the person. Their eyes filled with surprise.
Gasp!
Loud exclamations started to sound everywhere.
Because the person was none other than a blue flame wizard. His real name was Pete. But his Hall members made his nickname more popular than the original name.
He was defeated by Vincent Carey earlier. But no one dares to underestimate him. His blue flame is still in the memories of everyone.
Pete gets up from his seat and arrives at the platform. As everyone had expected, his gaze fell on the top 10 position. He is not even looking at others.
Pete's eyes fell on the Weapon Hall wizard. But he quickly took it away and looked at the next position. He knows that Elemental Hall and the Weapon Hall have lost momentum.
Everyone else is targeting their 2 Wizard Halls. He looks at Miranda, the Unique Hall Wizard. His eyes flash for a moment.
His blue flame can instantly turn natural plant-type magic into ashes. But he recalls how her last opponent's body turned stiff and collapsed on the ground.
So Pete is wary of her. He doesn't want to waste his chance. Then he looks at Aaron the bloodline wizard. Fighting against his wound makes him consume more mana.
Anything can happen in the duel. He can't say he is confident to win against him. Then he took back his gaze and looked at Jennie, the Transformation Wizard.
He ignored her and looked towards Rayon. Right now, fighting against Jennie is not his cup of tea. He is weak against the mind's magic.
It's the same case with Rayon, the Mechanical Wizard. Pete is not stupid to challenge as well. "Who knows if this guy has any other puppet left?" He said in his heart.
In the 3rd position, an element wizard is sitting down. Because no one has challenged him so far. He is Wells, a flame elemental wizard.
His flame is not an ordinary flame element as well. It has different properties compared to his blue flame.
Outside,
The atmosphere is quieted down. Everyone knows that it's a critical moment. Hereafter the wizard students have to be careful while selecting the opponent.
The referee also understood the reason. He is giving some time as well.
Pete, on the other hand, takes a look at Mike Curtis and then Vincent Carey. His eyes turned cold for a moment.
These 2 guys are giving him a sense of threat. Both can use long-range spells to attack him. He had thought about this before.
So he is not going to challenge them casually. Then his gaze fell on wells.
Then he turned towards the referee and said, "I'm challenging the 3rd place."
His voice reached everyone's ears. But his words felt shocking to the genius wizard students. Especially to the elemental hall wizards.
Because both Pete and Wells are genius wizard students from the Wizard Hall. But people with discerning eyes can tell that Pete had no other choice.
He took a less risky move compared to others.
Wells, on the other hand, carried a knowing smile on his face. He knows how sly Pete was in real life. "He didn't have to face danger so he picked me," Wells said in his heart.
Under the gaze of everyone, he stood up and walked to the platform.
Seeing that the crowd started to create noise.
He then came to the platform. Both stood opposite each other.
"Sorry, wells. I don't have any other choice," Pete said with a smile.
On the other hand, Wells sneered inwardly. He doesn't trust him at all. Both are from the same Wizard Hall but competition exists among them.
Creak!
Then the barrier starts to cover the platform.
Meanwhile,
A look of anticipation flashes in my eyes. This guy Wells was sitting beside me. But he never initiated a conversation.
But I know this guy is not ordinary. Now it's time to see whether he is going to win against the blue flame wizard or not.
When the barrier is fully covered. The referee gave the signal.
