Chapter 111 Part 2: Vincent Vs Nick
(From MC Perspective)
Little Star Gate High School – Red City,
Afternoon,
My eyes glued to the fireballs coming towards me. As they enter the domain field my gravity power, the fireballs freezes again. Next second, two giant fireballs crumble into thin air again, like the replays being played again. Loud gasped sounded outside, wizard students couldn’t figure out what’s going on?
Nick Ford dumbfounded again, suddenly he realizes that things are not simple. He never saw Vincent cast a spell in front of him. Right now his face turned extremely solemn, he looked at Vincent’s expression who was maintaining a calm face. It’s impossible to read what he is thinking.
The atmosphere turned still for a moment.
“I guess he will engage in close combat next moment” I mumbled under my breath. Nick doesn’t have any attack spells other than fire balls. So, I’m pretty sure that in order to defeat me, he needs to get closer to me.
At the same time…
Outside,
“Can anyone tell me? What’s going on here?” Frank Lambert voiced out his question openly, without looking at everyone. His eyes never moved away from Vincent Carey. If the attack misses one time, it can be said to be a mistake. But it repeated twice, it has to do with Vincent, he can see something wrong with Vincent Carey. But he couldn’t pinpoint the real reason.
“Spell!” Mr. Freeman uttered with a smile.
The mystery of the sub-taboo spell is on display. Yet none of them here could see clearly. From itself we can see how rare the gravity power is in this world. As a combat teacher it took him a few minutes to realize, so he won’t criticize the students.
When the combat teacher said the word, everyone’s eyes gleamed with surprise. Everyone here saw that Vincent didn’t even cast any spell, so why would a combat teacher say like this.
At the same time, Victoria shields realized something. But her idea seems almost impossible. She is somewhat hesitant to ask, then shaking her head she decides to ask. She hates the suspense most, if the combat teacher shed some clarity about the situation then it’s fine.
“Teacher, is that a silent spell?” Victoria said with a hesitation.
“Impossible” Frank rebuked immediately.
“Victoria, are you nuts?” Frank questioned with a mocking tone.
These two people’s interaction shocked everyone.
Victoria stomped her feet in anger. She knows her words seem impossible for other people. But it’s up to the combat teacher to decide.
Seeing that Victoria didn’t even care to reply, Frank’s face turned ugly. “She is as arrogant as ever, wait until I get some improvement in strength.” Frank Lambert said in his heart.
Then he turned his attention towards the combat teacher like her.
Not only him, others are also looking at their combat teacher for response.
But Mr. Freeman didn’t even answer them because inside the battle platform. Nick Ford already took a step to engage in close combat. Seeing that the combat teacher was looking at the battle platform, everyone followed his eyes & observed the scene.
Victoria & Frank also put their mind on the battle scene. 𝚍n𝚘v𝚕.𝚘𝚛𝚐
Inside,
Nick Ford cast a spell,
“Flame Wings”
Two bird-like wings appear in his back, next second he takes the flight to reach Vincent in a few breaths. As the two fire wings flapped, Nick moved in break necking speed.
“Amazing” Seeing the two pairs of wings, I mumbled under my breath.
These elemental wizards have a wide range of spells compared to others.
After appreciating the wings, I try to control the gravity field. Others don’t know, in order to stabilize the field. I’m slowly losing my mana capacity. I can’t play for long. It’s best to defeat him once he steps inside the domain.
Everyone from outside intently watching the duel.
“Bang”
As Nick stepped inside the gravity domain, like a gigantic mountain weighing on his body. Nick wasn’t able to control his body, he immediately fell to the ground. His whole face took the first brunt he fainted next second when his head collided to the ground. Due to that his pair of wings also crumbles into thin air.
Seeing that Nick had fainted, I canceled out the spell directly. It went better than I had expected earlier. I believe wizards here have two different kinds of spells. Most of them were one dimensional spells, like fireballs.
But mine is different. I can use the gravity field for both attack and defense.
“Gasp”
The crowd gasped again, “How come it feels like? Vincent had defeated Nick without lifting a finger” someone raised the question.
YES, Vincent defeated Nick. The realization dawned upon everyone.
“He really has some strength.” Frank said with a frown.
Even top wizards felt like they woke up to reality.
Brent Dale for the first time opened his eyes to look at Vincent. His eyes flickered with interest, “Gravity, it’s really a blessing to have such a variant.” He said to himself.
Unlike, average wizards. Brent Dale didn’t get jealous. He is already looking at everyone from the top spot, while Vincent is at the starting point. From Brent’s point of view, Vincent is not his opponent.
Vincent may reach top next year, but until then several of them here already would have graduated.
The same thoughts ran in the top wizard’s mind. For them Vincent is not their opponent, so they are looking at the duel without any worry.
Seeing that Nick is really fainted and henceforth there is no chance for him to get up. Everyone understands that from this duel, Vincent came out as a winner. So no one had previous contempt on their face.
Some observed the situation with envy & some with hatred.
Wizard students who had hatred ranked between 25- 30. They know it will be a matter of time before Vincent takes their place.
At this time, there were four people. They have extreme expressions on their face, like they have eaten a sh!t. They are none other than Liam & his team.
Chrissy Heart had already expected this result in her heart. But still it shows they were nowhere near Vincent’s strength. She bit her lips in frustration. She is gone, if Vincent still has some hatred against her.
She immediately turned towards Liam and wanted to say something. But Liam stopped her midway. He knows her thoughts but it’s impossible to talk in this situation. If she opens her mouth, her words might be heard by the combat teacher. Then it would cause unnecessary trouble for them.
Seeing that Chrissy Heart disheartened again, she is confused why Liam is hesitating to take action. But Bruce on the other hand tapped her shoulder & said in a low tone, “Combat teacher”
A new realization dawned upon Chrissy Heart, she sighed and let go of her worry.
Mark also simply nodded at him. Then everyone shut their mouth and avoided unnecessary conversation.
The other hand…
Combat teacher Freeman acted, he deactivated the silver runic pentagrams dome with his mental method.
As the dome-like silver screen returns to normal, body of Nick & Vincent’s body becomes visible to everyone’s eyes.
“Alright!” Mr. Freeman walked forward to the battle platform after saying that.
Seeing the unconscious body of Nick Ford, he gestures to someone to take it away.
Then looking at Vincent Carey, “Vincent has won this duel” Mr. Freeman said with a smile. He gestures to Vincent to come back so that others can step up for the challenge.
“Finally”
“I won without breaking a sweat” I mumbled under my breath.
After hearing the combat teacher’s words, I nodded at him. And I walked out of the battle platform and moved towards Lucas Brad.
Seeing Vincent coming towards him, Lucas greeted him with a smile.
“Vincent, I thought you were going to stretch it for a long time.” Lucas said.
“Ha…Ha…Ha…” I let out a small laugh.
Then I felt everyone’s eyes on me. But this time I feel they are looking at me with more interest than disdain & contempt.
Looks like I have attracted everyone’s attention successfully. I hope that fat sheep will seek me as soon as possible.
Various thoughts come to mind and at the same time, I’m also looking forward to the next battle.
Mr. Freeman turned around and looked at everyone.
He saw Nick being treated by his classmate who has healing magic.
After glancing at everyone’s face, Mr. Freeman commented, “Okay, who is ready for the second match?”
For a moment everyone forgot the purpose of the duel. It’s a ranking battle, yet everyone is immersed in the mystery of this duel.
Looking at the combat teacher, Frank said, “Teacher, can you explain? How did Vincent win?”
Rest of the students also echoed the same opinion.
“This?” I’m surprised to see these people still want to get to the bottom of this.
Looks like they really have no idea, “The silver runic domes were not simple.” I mumbled under my breath.
If the silver dome shields the details, then it really gives a fair chance for others to duel.
Realizing that I smiled and looking forward to the teacher’s answers.
Besides, Lucas also reveals a small smile. He feels from now onwards his friend Vincent will have no problem taking care of him.
