Chapter 117: The Winner of Four Consecutive Matches
Kaerton thought for a moment and said, “How about this: if Su Ye can win against Eugene in ten seconds, it will be considered a perfect victory. I will reduce your service by five years.”
“Deal!” said Hark.
“You always fall for it. You are addicted to gambling! No wonder you lost your freedom to me,” commented Kaerton happily while playing with a Gold Eagle coin in his right hand.
Hark silently looked at the Sea Demon Fountain in Plato Academy and thought to himself, “Su Ye, you have to work hard. You’re my only hope of redemption.”
The two of them silently stared at the gate. When the sun set, a large group of people approached the gate.
The most eye-catching one was not Su Ye, but Hort.
Hort nervously followed behind Su Ye. He was worried about Su Ye’s safety, but at the same time, he also wanted Su Ye to avenge him.
Hort carried a wooden box that was more than half a meter tall in his arms. On top of the box was a small cloth bag.
Lake limped behind the team with a cold face.
He was too embarrassed.
Palos followed behind the team from a distance. She convinced herself that she was here to learn how to fight.
When Palos reached a place where she could see the gate, she did not get any closer. She looked at the gate from a distance while playing with a small lock of hair. She gently swirled it around her fingers.
More than half of the members of Plato Academy had gathered here. The teachers had also come to join in the fun. Niedern, Gregory, and the other teachers stood in a group.
Niedern glanced at Gregory and challenged, “Do you dare to have a bet with me?”
“Humph. Losing to your student is not the same as losing to you. What’s there to be afraid of?”
“I want your Shadow Splitting Bracelet.”
“And will you bet your Frost Robe?”
“Alright!”
“I bet on Su Ye winning.”
“I bet on Su Ye winning too!”
The two Gold Mages exchanged a look of disdain. One of them took a step to the left while the other took a step to the right, keeping a distance from the other.
The students from the third class stopped at the gate while Su Ye walked out.
Su Ye stopped outside the gate and looked around. When he saw Kaerton and Hark, he greeted them by nodding slightly.
Su Ye saw a somewhat familiar profile at the outermost part of the crowd. His gaze did not linger.
In the end, Su Ye did not look at the students of the Noble Academy in front of him. Instead, he looked to the side at some people who looked like students as well.
Some of them took the initiative to greet Su Ye as if they knew him.
Su Ye did not know them, but he reckoned that those people were most likely students from the other smaller academies. Therefore, he nodded slightly at them to show his friendliness.
To Su Ye’s surprise, a few girls from the other academies were so excited that their faces turned red as they whispered, “Little Feynman.”
This bad habit of the Big Chair was contagious, Su Ye thought to himself.
Finally, Su Ye looked at the person standing in front of him.
Eugene was very similar to Lake’s description. He had a tall figure and a strong body. He was simply a smaller version of Hort. He was so muscular that his leather armor was bulging, as if it was stuffed with many loaves of hard bread.
Eugene crossed his arms across his chest. He was clearly only 15 or 16 years old, but a beard that was about an inch long grew on his chin. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face. The only thing unique about him was that his eyes were raging with battle intent.
Su Ye was very familiar with this kind of gaze. He figured that he must have also looked like this when he was fighting against the Frost Wolf.
“Hello, I’m Su Ye. I’m the winner of three consecutive matches against the Noble Academy. I’m about to become the winner of four consecutive matches,” Su Ye introduced himself with a serious face.
The noble students on the opposite side booed.
The students of Plato Academy laughed out loud. Su Ye was obviously provoking the other party.
Eugene was not offended by Su Ye’s provocation at all. He raised his right arm, which was thicker than Su Ye’s leg, and showed the bracelet on it. He said in a rough voice, “I can only use the divine power of a warrior apprentice now.”
At the same time, a thin but handsome student carried a tray forward and stood between the two of them. On the tray were fifty Golden Eagles and a woman’s earring.
The noble students laughed loudly.
A sly smile flashed across Eugene’s face.
Su Ye shrugged with an indifferent expression. He realized that the nobles were indeed all sinister. If any other man was presented with a female magic weapon, he would definitely be angry. However, Su Ye was not bothered at all. After all, he was going to feed it to that scumbag altar. Perhaps a woman ear stud could be exchanged for a better Talent Spirit.
“You may examine the goods,” Eugene said with a smile.
“There’s no need for that. Let’s get this over with quickly. I still have a meeting to attend tonight.”
“Okay!” After Eugene said that, the skinny student slowly retreated to a distance of 30 meters away.
Eugene also slowly moved backwards until there was a distance of 20 meters between them. He said in a clear voice, “Mage, you may attack first.”
The noble students immediately hissed at Su Ye. Eugene stood 20 meters away. It was obvious that he was mocking Su Ye. Generally speaking, in a battle between apprentices, the distance between the two parties was 15 meters.
Su Ye did not attack immediately. Instead, he asked, “I really want to know one thing. Did you seek out my two deskmates, or did you meet them by accident?”
Eugene was stunned for a moment and then answered casually, “It was an accident.”
Su Ye shook his head and lamented, “Initially, I thought that Eugene the Second would become a great hero. However, at least for now, you are still an idiot who is being used by others. You nobles are exceptionally good at endangering your own kind.”
Eugene’s face darkened. He warned, “You can insult me, but you shouldn’t insult my friends.”
“A friend who provokes you to duel with me and then makes you lose face?” Su Ye looked at the noble students behind Eugene with contempt.
Surprisingly, those noble students did not make any hisses. It was because more than half of them had guessed that Eugene was being used.
“Everyone says that you are very eloquent, but your words were useless to me. The final winner of this battle will definitely be me.” Eugene slowly took a deep breath and kept his cool.
Su Ye continued, “If you challenged me through proper means, I would give you a decent defeat. But you hurt my deskmates, so I’m very unhappy. I need to teach you a lesson. Also, you’re too stupid. You’re willing to be used by others. I’m very dissatisfied with such an opponent, so I’ll teach you a memorable lesson. Let me ask before we start. Did you lose your left arm or your right arm previously?”
Eugene’s expression changed drastically.
The noble students were completely silent. This was Eugene’s most painful past. No one dared to mention it in front of him.
“Very well. You have successfully angered me. Unleash your magic, chicken.” Eugene stretched out his right hand and his index finger beckoned at Su Ye contemptuously.
Su Ye slowly took a deep breath and focused his mind. Then, he paused his Magic Surge talent. Just like all the ordinary mage apprentices, he cast a spell normally.
Due to his in-depth study of incantations, Su Ye already knew a lot of incantations like the back of his hand. He could comprehend both the chants and the meaning behind the phrases, unlike when he was learning Magic Rope.
“Wind Dagger Technique.”
After Su Ye finished chanting the spell, his magic power surged into the Magic Array. As the power gathered in less than 2.5 seconds, a foot-long, light green, crescent-shaped blade formed in front of Su Ye. With a slight swoosh, it flew straight towards Eugene.
The moment the wind dagger was formed, students from various schools cried out in surprise.
Su Ye had only been a mage apprentice for a few months, but his magic casting speed was already close to the upper limit of two seconds. His learning ability was too incredible. Su Ye was comparable to a genius.
