BXBX NOVEL Chapter 148 Fear!
Little Star Gate High School,
Victoria Shields walked in and stood at one side of the Star Battle Platform. She was followed by Frank Lambert. He took the opposite side of her. Both of them faced off against each other.
The Star Battle Platform is a square stage. Special rocks were used to build the stage. In a way, it can withstand the powerful blows from wizards.
When the permission for the duel was granted, vibrations started to occur at the bottom of the platform.
Both of them didn't get flustered. They were quite used to this situation.
A cube-like structure was created by a transparent wall from four sides of the stage.The transparent cube is invisible to the naked eye. But it can prevent magic attacks from going outside.
When the transparent cube is formed, the duel official begins.
Frank Lambert didn't waste any more time. He raised his hand, and a silver spear instantly materialized. He gripped it using both hands and pointed the spear's triangular edge at Victoria.
"Victoria, I have to say, I waited so long for this day. And finally, I can get the 3rd position, "before making a move, Frank started to boast.
"Hmph, dream on!" In her usual cold tone, Victoria replied with a snort.
Just like Frank, she extends her right hand. Before the weapon even materialized, a cold man appeared out of nowhere. Next, a beautiful ice blue sword materialised in her hand.
A hint of jealousy flashes in Frank's eyes. because he knows the rarity of attributed magic weapons. She will have an added advantage in this battle.
But Frank came prepared; he didn't pose a challenge without thinking.
At the same time, an overbearing cold mana radiates from the ice cold sword. A hazy mist of blue mana completely enveloped her. It appears as though she came from an ice elemental region.
A loud cheer breaks out among the students, "Gasp!"
Unlike traditional wizards, weapon wizards are at a whole new level. They can make long-range and short-range magical attacks using their weapons. And they can also use their weapons to directly engage in close combat.
So the wizard students let out a yell of joy upon seeing her ice-cold weapon. Most of the wizard students sitting in the observer area chanted Victoria's name in support.
None of them were quite optimistic about Frank Lambert.
...
(From MC's Perspective)
Guest Room-South End,
When I saw her ice-attributed weapon, my eyes lit up with surprise. It will cause heavy damage if she makes a causal swing.
It will be worth noticing, how Frank decides to overcome this?
He needs to use better tactics in order to not let the cold mana overwhelm him.
"She is extremely strong," Fatty Lucas said beside me.
Not only him, everyone here is impressed by her weapon materialisation move.
Suddenly, I thought of something. I side glanced at Brent Dale and Danny Quinn. Both of them were not conceited. Their eyes stared at the battle platform.
A hint of appreciation rose in my heart. These two are not as arrogant as I thought. Maybe Victoria's development is extremely important to them. It may have related to their own ranks in the class.
At the same time, I observed the two friends of Victoria, their eyes almost glued to the projection screen. Some were interested in watching the duel through a projection screen, while others avoided it.
Alternatively,
What is he going to do? She already garnered overwhelming support before the actual duel," Mr. Freeman said to himself.
The cheers may seem irrelevant to the duel. But it all depends upon the mentality of the participants. If someone feels inferior by not getting much support, then he has already started to lose the battle.
...
Bellbrook City,
Alan Pitts and his team members were fighting against the rogue wizards. They were all balancing each other out. It's hard to decide who has the upper hand.
Fortunately, Alan dragged his two opponents a little distance away from his team. The same with Lottie and Pam Levine. They don't want rogue wizards to join hands.
Jimmy Herman, who found the safe spot to hide himself, He couldn't do anything much in the fight. Instead of being a burden to his team, he took up the task to keep an eye out for other bandits in the area.
Alan and his team weren't aware that level-4 Wizard Willy was on his way towards them. If the team were to get caught in his hands, nothing but death awaits them.
"Beep!" A notification sound came from Jimmy Herman's watch.
Seeing that, Jimmy Herman knew it was from the other team. Except for Wizard Billy, earlier, both teams cut off connections to the outside world. For this investigative mission, an exclusive chat room was created for information sharing.
His expression changed drastically after reading the message. The mission was called off, he said to himself.
Then again, he opened the chat server to see. It was posted by Ms. Eva, but the Department Head didn't show any objection. After realising this, he knew the information was true.
He knew, due to ongoing fighting, his team members couldn't be able to read the message.
In a reply to Ms. Eva, he briefly explained their current situation. Only after getting out of the situation can they go back to the branch office.
On a whim, Jimmy Herman forwarded the message to Wizard Billy. But right now, he doesn't realise how simple a thing he did was going to save everyone's life later.
Ten minutes later, Alan Pitts was able to neutralise another rogue wizard, leaving only one to fight head on. With the help of Pam Levin, Ms. Lottie was also able to kill one rogue wizard.
Right now, it will be a matter of time before they clean up the other two rogue wizards.
At the same time, Jimmy Herman, who didn't let down his guard, suddenly notices something. "This omnious feeling?" He muttered in disbelief.
Jimmy Herman is a variant-type sensory Wizard. Right now, he used his smelling sense magic to probe the northwest direction of the street.
Even before picking up concrete mana signals, he feels something ominous in that direction.
In confusion, he broke out in a cold sweat. From time to time, he also observed the situation of his team. They were doing fine. It will matter before they leave this place.
So Jimmy decided to find something concrete. He wanted to see whether the earlier feeling was a false alarm or not.
He closed his eyes and continued to map the area through his senses. He filtered out the regular humans who didn't have an ounce of mana in them.
Suddenly, his heart skips a beat after sensing this ominous feeling again. He wipes out the sweat dripping from his forehead. He is fidgeting in fear of the unknown.
Then, gradually, he mustered the courage to discover the source of his feelings. Finally, his senses spot a person. He quickly recovered his senses and charged up to his teammates.
"Damn it, this is bad," Jimmy Herman screamed in his heart. He is very familiar with this feeling. He won't ever forget it in his life. The same feeling that was responsible for their team's current misery.
Jimmy Heman quickly finds Ms. Lottie and Pam Levine. He ran up to them and shouted, "Lottie and Pam, quickly follow me. We need to escape asap!"
Hearing that, Lottie was stunned all of a sudden. Then, without thinking further, she dealt one final blow to the rogye wizard.
After that, Lottie and Pam quickly joined with Jimmy. Ms. Lottie asked, "What happened?" She had never seen him so agitated before, except last time.
Pam also worriedly looked at Jimmy. He appeared to have completely lost his mind.
Jimmy Herman didn't have time to answer their questions, but to convince them, he simply uttered, "Level-4 Wizard."
The faces of Lottie and Pam change dramatically. The only level-4 wizard that came to their mind was Mucus Wizard Leon Willy.
Ms. Lottie completely lost her cool demeanour. She hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?"
Jimmy Herman gritted his teeth and replied, "We don't have time for this. Just follow me to find Captain Alan. "
After saying that, he quickly dashed toward Alan's location. He was already aware of Alan's whereabouts due to his senses.
Ms. Lotite bit her lips in panic, but she quickly controlled her inner thoughts. Because if she lost her cool, then it would be hard to handle Pam Levine, who had already lost strength in her legs.
"Pam, come on. We need to get out of here quickly," Lottie grabbed Pam's hand and lifted from the ground.
Soon, both of them slowly followed behind Jimmy Herman. Quick-witted Lottie immediately posted the message on the chat server. She also forwarded the message to the department head.
She wanted to call him, but her inner instincts screamed at her to leave this place as soon as possible. This is not the right place to make a call. By the time they got there, Mr. Alan had finished off the last rogue.
Jimmy Herman ran up to him to tell him about their current predicament.
