Chapter 19: Attack
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ignoring the two people beside him, the white-haired old man stood up. His gaze swept across the entire arena as he activated his demonic energy. Soon after, a deep voice rumbled in the ears of everyone in the academy.
“Time is up. The arena will begin. This is a sparring match within the academy. No killing is allowed. Remember this!”
“Those who go up to the stage will have one chance to challenge their opponent. However, there will only be one chance. Therefore, you need to act according to your ability and choose the right skill.”
In the arena, the audience was filled with people who respectfully said, “Yes!”
“In that case…” The white-haired old man nodded. Then, he waved his hand and said, “Then let’s begin!”
Dong!
As he waved his hand, another loud bell sound rang, almost spreading throughout the entire Lach Academy of Magic.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The entire arena was in chaos at this time. One after another, figures rushed onto the arena, and then the shouts that came one after another rang out continuously.
“Clifford, get down here. I’ve long disliked you!”
“Priestley, come out as well. This time, I’ll definitely beat you to a pulp!”
…
Looking at the chaotic scene in the arena, Hughes could not help but smile. However, most of these matches were relatively ordinary, so he did not pay too much attention to them. He only occasionally glanced in the direction of Ferri. Right now, Ferrie was looking at him coldly.
Currently, everyone in the Lach Academy of Magic knew that Ferri had announced that he would choose Hughes as his opponent in the arena. Therefore, no one was blind enough to take the initiative to challenge him.
Hughes did not mind Ferri’s cold gaze. He would occasionally chat and laugh with Alice beside him. However, his actions only made Ferri grit his teeth in anger.
The competition in the arena was quite lively. However, the ones who were the most interesting were the seniors. This was because only their kind of competition was the most intense. It was basically a magical exchange, causing people to exclaim in delight.
…
After an unknown period of time, the people in the arena were almost done fighting.
At this moment, Ferri suddenly stood up. That gloomy aura made the surrounding lackeys feel uneasy. Ferri appeared to be quite terrifying.
Ferri leaped up and directly jumped onto the arena. After glancing at Hughes, he said expressionlessly, “Come, I’ll treat you well!”
Hughes also leaped up and landed directly in the arena.
Ferri stared at Hughes in the arena. His eyes were filled with hostility. The corners of his mouth cracked as he said with a sinister smile, “Brat, you have guts!”
In the arena, the two people were confronting each other. The atmosphere instantly became tense. All the students who had come to the arena looked over.
The good show had begun!
“Hughes actually came forward. I’m very curious to see if he’s a match for Ferri.”
In the southern corner of the arena, the seniors gathered together and looked at the two figures in the arena. They could not help but laugh. In fact, even they were a little curious about Hughes. After all, no matter what… Hughes was the owner of the SS-grade light magic talent.
If Hughes won against Ferri today, then he would basically soar in the academy in the future. Even the strongest second-year genius, Frederick, would be inferior by a notch.
Thinking of this, they secretly glanced at Frederick in front of them but did not dare to say what they were thinking.
Hearing the discussion behind him, the handsome young man only smiled faintly. His eyes stared at the thin young man in the field, and there was an extremely cold glint in the depths of his eyes.
“If he can’t even pass the test of Ferri, then his SS-grade magic talent will really let me down.”
Frederick murmured softly and slowly clenched his hands. The bars made of alloy actually formed a deep mark under his strength, and a chill grew in the depths of his eyes.
He could not tolerate a guy without ability surpassing him, no matter which aspect it was.
…
“Go, Hughes!”
“Hughes, beat him until he is no longer arrogant and despotic!”
Around the arena, the students who had been bullied by Ferri looked at the two people who were confronting each other in the arena. Their eyes were filled with excitement. Over the past year, they had been bullied by Ferri everywhere, and now, there was finally someone who dared to contend with Ferri.
“A bunch of whimsical fellows.”
When Ferri heard those voices, the corner of his lips curled up into a vicious smile. Then, he stared at Hughes and said with some ridicule, “I really want to know how interesting their expressions will be after you lose.”
In the face of his ridicule, Hughes’s face had not shown the slightest bit of anger. He only stretched out his hand and said calmly, “You shouldn’t have that ability.”
“You stubborn duck!”
Fury flashed in Ferri’s eyes. His right hand gripped the magic staff tightly. Fiery-red mana wrapped around the staff tightly like flames. In the next moment, he took a step forward and shouted loudly, “Big fireball spell!”
As soon as Ferri’s voice fell, the top of the magic staff in Ferri’s hand suddenly exploded with mana. The Fireball spell, which was originally a low-level spell, had actually expanded more than twice when Ferri cast it. The surrounding mana seemed to have been attracted by something as it surged toward Ferri’s magic staff. The support of Mana… made Ferri, who was already imposing, become even scarier.
Around the arena, the faces of many students became solemn when they saw this scene. Ferri had become even more terrifying now.
“Big fireball spell!”
Hughes let out a soft breath. This Ferri was indeed something. He was able to transform a low-level spell into such a dangerous spell.
He slowly extended his palm and slowly opened it towards Ferri. Deep within his black eyes, golden light gathered. It was as if there were thousands of golden lights, mysterious and unfathomable.
“Come!”
As Hughes’ soft voice rang out, everyone saw more than a dozen spears formed from golden light slowly appear behind Hughes. As Hughes released more and more mana, even those who were sitting in the audience seats… could feel the aura radiating from him.
The battle in the arena was about to begin.
