Chapter 415 All It Will Take Is A Single Mistake
The corner of Edmond’s lips couldn’t stop from twitching as he looked at the boy who had teleported outside of the arena.
After getting repeatedly attacked by the flaming spear that was strong enough to kill Wizards and Witches as long as they weren’t as strong as him, the Grand Archmage of the Eastshire Kingdom was finally ready to launch a counterattack.
But just as he activated a Partial Resonance, summoning a blizzard, as well as summoning his Guardian Spirit, the boy he wanted to take revenge on was teleported outside of the arena before he could even unleash his full powers.
This made Edmond feel like laughing out of anger. What the boy did was no different from a hit-and-run.
He had to endure several dangerous attacks, but when it was time for him to return his own attacks, his target stepped out of the arena and called it quits.
It was at this moment when he heard a laugh coming from the stands of the Grand Coliseum, making the Grand Archmage glance at his friend, who was holding onto his stomach while laughing out loud.
“He got you good, Edmond,” Professor Rinehart said before he continued to laugh.
Professor Barret, on the other hand, had an amused smirk on his face because he also understood that Edmond had been left to dry by a teenage boy, who not only made him use one of his signature moves but also forced him to use his Partial Resonance.
Heaving a deep sigh, Edmond shook his head and canceled the blizzard that was still raging around him.
With his target no longer inside the arena, what was the point of keeping it active?
‘I’ll remember this, Ethan Gremory,’ Edmond cursed inwardly out of helplessness. ‘Still, he does have potential. I guess I have to make sure that His Majesty doesn’t make any unnecessary moves until I return to make my report. It seems my disciple’s rebellion was justified.’
The Grand Archmage of the Kingdom of Eastshire then flew toward the stands where his two bastard friends were laughing and smiling at him.
“Well, it seems that both of you are thoroughly entertained,” Edmond said with a smile. “How about one of you come onto the stage so we can spar as well? It has been a while since we all had a friendly duel, no?”
“I’ll pass,” Professor Rinehart said. “I still have duties to attend to in my office.”
“Same,” Professor Barret answered. “I’m currently dealing with some sneaky rats that are trying to get inside the academy.”
“Tsk!” Edmond couldn’t help but click his tongue because he didn’t have an outlet to vent his anger.
Professor Rinehart then stepped closer to his friend and whispered something in his ear.
“So, how is he?” Professor Rinehart. “Is he a pass in your book?”
“Yes,” Edmond reluctantly agreed to his friend’s question.
“Since that is the case, you’ll help, right?” Professor Rinehart inquired.
“Do I even have a choice?” Edmond sighed. “They’re almost joined at the waist now. All it will take is a single mistake, and this is practically a done deal already.”
17:15
Professor Rinehart patted Edmond’s shoulder as if to encourage him to do his best.
The Grand Archmage snorted before shifting his gaze to Ethan, who was currently talking to Nicole about something.
A few minutes later, the two teenagers walked to where the adults were.
“I’m sorry, Lord Edmond,” Ethan replied. “I shouldn’t have left the arena during our duel.”
“That’s right, you shouldn’t have done that,” Edmond replied. ‘At least let me get my revenge on you first!’
Of course, the Grand Archmage didn’t say his thoughts out loud because that would make him sound petty.
“You did well,” Edmond stated. “There might be many people who will look down on you at the party because of your background. But you shouldn’t take their words to heart. They are just jealous of your achievement since they also want to be noticed by His Majesty.”
Ethan nodded. In truth, he didn’t really care about the rewards or the title of Honorary Knight.
However, he decided to take it so that he could give his grandma and grandpa the medal since it would make the two of them feel proud for raising him after all these years.
Ethan had long wanted to make his grandparents proud of him, so having an honorary title, even if it was just that of an Honorary Knight, was still an honor that his family could gladly brag to their family and friends.
“Well then, I’ll be staying here in the academy for a few days,” Edmond stated. “If you have questions, feel free to find me, okay?”
“Yes, Lord Edmond,” Ethan replied.
The Grand Archmage then lightly tapped the ground with his staff before vanishing into countless snowflakes.
Professor Rinehart then patted Ethan’s shoulder and told him that he did a great job in his duel against his friend.
“How are the dance lessons coming along?” Professor Rinehart asked. “Are they going well?”
Ethan nodded. “I didn’t expect dancing would be fun. Perhaps my dance teacher is just that good.”
Professor Rinehart gave Nicole a glance, and the latter only smiled to return the Headmaster’s query.
“Well, as long as you are learning and having fun at the same time, then that’s good,” Professor Rinehart stated. “Do you think you’ll be ready by next week?”
“I’ll be ready by then, Professor,” Ethan replied. “You can count on me.”
“Good. Both of you may now return to your respective Manors.”
““Yes, Headmaster.””
After bidding their goodbyes to the two Professors, Ethan and Nicole left the Grand Arena.
“I guess we secured one ally in the Royal Palace,” Professor Barret stated. “It’s a good start, right?”
“It is,” Professor Rinehart nodded. “Now those High-Ranking Nobles will not be able to voice their opinions too strongly.”
“Well, at least the domestic side is in order. What about the Foreign side?”
“As long as they don’t make a move this early in the game, we will have a chance to seal the deal.”
Professor Barret sighed. “We’re getting too old for these kinds of games.”
“Only you,” Professor Rinehart replied before chuckling. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Barret. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight,” Professor Barret nodded.
The two then left the Grand Coliseum to return to their own duties. One managed the affairs of the academy, while one ensured that no rats would be able to enter their territory.
