Chapter 250 Part Two: A-Rank Division Duels
There is still half an hour left before the match. But Chester came all of a sudden with new requests.
The headmaster Chester Nixon revealed a bitter smile before saying, "Not only her, I want the inclusion of Eric Marsh also."
A quick glint flashed in Chairman Benjamin's eyes. He remained silent for a second. But his brain is working faster. "What is he planning?" He thought to himself.
When it comes to A rank division. He thinks twice before doing anything. But Chester's request was unreasonable. He can include Eric in the A-rank division duels if he can defeat B-rank title winner Tina Burns.
But when it comes to Judy Owens, he felt helpless.
On the other hand, Chester was complex in the chairman's face. He saw through the difficulties and replied, "Chairman, the girl Judy's strength is not lower than Eric's. Her defense is impeccable."
"What," Chairman raised his eyebrows in surprise. He immediately connected the dots. If her defense is so strong then no one under A rank division can defeat her.
Chairman Benjamin finally felt there is some logical reasoning behind it. So I agreed to change the rules. Then he instructed his assistant to inform the announcer.
Chester Nixon sighed in relief. Now he hopes that his students can defeat at least a few of the A-rank division wizards. But he never thought about the A1 class. In his mind, he only considered classes A3, A4, A5, and A6.
Judy was a former student of class A3. So he held some higher expectations than Eric Marsh.
...
15 minutes before the match,
The 4th rank wizard, Frank Lambert was confident and excited for today's event. When he arrived here, he continued to observe others.
Especially the 3rd rank wizard, Victoria Shields. Frank's lips curved into a sly smile when he saw the calm and composed expression of Victoria Shields.
He couldn't help but think about his last duels. Last time, he lost. But this time he feels his spear art will cause her damage. "Just wait for me," He said in his heart.
But from beginning to end, he didn't look at the top wizard in the class. Because the first place was already fixed in most of the student's minds.
Brent Dale and Danny Quinn. These two were extremely strong and the winner will be decided from these two.
Not only them, but even some powerhouse and media people also debated about these. Though Eric Marsh gained massive popularity still it doesn't mean that he can defeat elite wizards from Class A1.
While Frank was pondering, he suddenly remembered the face of another annoying person. "Vincent Carey," he grumbled.
Then he turned towards his right side and he saw Vincent Carey. A good plan came to his mind.
In his opinion, Vincent Carey's performance was shocking. But it was somewhat expected from the sub-taboo magic user. He believes that Vincent Carey may reach rank 6th in his class.
Then he will reach rank 1 by next year.
Thinking about his graduation, Frank was gloomy. So far he wasn't able to teach a lesson to Vincent Carey. After this competition, he will graduate and it will become even more impossible to do anything to Vincent Carey.
The next second, he texted a message to some people.
Beep!
Liam Baker who is conversing with his friend suddenly stopped after hearing the notification sound. He opened it to read it.
But the next second, a quick glint flashed in his eyes. [Cripple Vincent Carey. If you do that you will gain rank 3 resources.]
Liam Baker was at a loss for a moment. He knew Frank Lambert didn't like Vincent Carey. But he had never expected their hatred to be so deep.
Anyway, he had already planned about thrashing that b@stard. But now someone has decided to support him also. He laughed in his heart. He can't wait to see the miserable end of Vincent Carey.
Not only him, one by one wizard from the A1 class seated in the participant area received the message.
Frank Lambert sent a message to everyone except the top 3. After doing that, Frank once again saw Vincent before revealing a sly smile on his face.
"It's time to watch a good show," He muttered to himself.
At the same time, Eric Marsh entered the battle arena. Seeing his appearance, all the media houses started to show his face on the big screen.
But some people in the participant's section showed disdain. Because he entered just before the start of the duel. Like he had purposely waited to appear lately.
"Harumph, his short fame will end from today onwards," Students from the C rank division showed disdain.
Even wizard students from the B rank division were displeased after seeing his late appearance.
On the other hand, Eric Marsh enjoyed the limelight. He slowly walks towards the participant's area. He didn't mind the different gaze of wizard students.
He knew people were not convinced by his style but he didn't care. After arriving at the participant's area, he quickly found Judy Owens and walked toward her.
Judy Owens knitted her eyebrows but she didn't say anything. She also felt Eric Marsh started to become showy. Which is not good for their special class.
"Good morning, " Eric Marsh said to Judy before he sat beside her leisurely.
"Hmm," Judy hummed in response.
Tom Baltimore and Miley Reese on the other side had veins popped on their forehead. If Eric was humble, then their defeat won't cause much dissatisfaction.
But after his showy appearance, people started to think he doesn't put anyone in his eyes. Even some people started to share the names of other special-class students.
They can't fight Eric Marsh but that doesn't mean they can't defeat his classmates.
Time passed,
When the time for the duel came. A sudden announcement was made.
[First Duel: Eric Marsh Vs Tine Burns]
[Contenders, pls come to the stage]
Gasp
The crowd broke out in loud cheer. What was happening? The title duel is the first match. Then everyone realized, we were talking about A rank division here.
So the combat prowess of the two of them is naturally lower than A rank wizard. So people don't mind the change in rules.
But Eric Marsh was startled. "What was the first duel of mine?" He stood up from the seat in surprise.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...." People behind him burst into laughter.
"Moron, what are you daydreaming about?"
Eric Marsh's face darkened. But he quickly recovered himself and walked towards the dueling stage.
To be honest, he didn't expect his duel would be the first. While walking, he realized how naive he was. Though he gained popularity still unmatched the Elite class.
Then he gave a cold snort in his heart. What Elite class? If he maintained his progression, he would soon win against them. With confidence, he entered the dueling stage.
On the other hand, Tina Burns also arrived. She looked at Eric Marsh before entering the stage. She stood on the opposite side.
Then the silver barrier slowly enveloped the stage.
Seeing her appearance, a quick glint flashed in Eric Marsh's eyes.
He already saw the battle video of Tina Burner. He knew her cards. But he still has some worries regarding the mist magic.
He doesn't know? How will the body react after coming in contact with mist magic?
But he has confidence in his second spell. All he needs to do is to reach the opponent. Eric Marsh already thought of a suitable plan.
Tina Burns' expression was solemn. Before coming here she had a good conversation with her class teacher. As long as she avoids confrontation.
She can easily win this duel.
When the duel was started, Eric Marsh yelled, "Blood burning."
The next second, Eric Marsh's strength instantly doubles. He burst out at great speed and dashed towards Tine Burns.
All of this happened in a blink of an eye.
Seeing his speed, Tina Burns's expression turned solemn. She understands opponents' motives. But she will never allow him to get closer.
"Death mist," she said.
The deep green color mist immediately enveloped her like a domain. Anyone who gets closer to her will be affected by the poisoning. The prolonged effect may lead to death.
Tina has good control of her strength. As long as the opponent admits defeat she will dispel the magic.
Eric Marsh felt alarmed for a moment. But under the influence of the second spell, he quickly recovered. The Duel will be over when he manages to land a single hit.
When he entered the dark green color mist. The two different kinds of magic came in contact with each other. The death mist immediately acted after finding its prey.
The deep green color particles started to do their work.
For a moment, Eric Marsh felt his senses were dulled. If this goes on he will slow his moment.
On the other hand, Tina retreated backward to make some distance. She knows it will be a matter of time before the spell works.
On the other hand, the crowds let out a roaring cheer. Because both opponents begin the match by releasing their second spell.
