(From MC's perspective)
Little Star Gate High School,
The top 5 wizards arrived just before the start of the duels. Shortly after the announcement was made.
[Welcome everyone for A rank division duels.]
[The first duel is between Kenny Sutton and Vincent Carey]
[Let's welcome the challengers to the stage]
Kenny Sutton vs Vincent Carey
After the announcement, the big screens showed information about the challengers.
Seeing that the crowd broke out in loud cheer. Finally, the year-end competition comes to an interesting turn.
Everyone is looking forward to seeing the duels of wizards from class A1.
From the crowds to other division wizards, staff and teachers everyone's eyes were glued to the fighting stage.
At the same time, I got up from my seat. The next second, I found several cameras flickering at me. Without minding it, I slowly walked towards the fighting stage.
I met several curious eyes and cold gazes but nothing stopped me. Along the way, I saw Kenny Sutton who is also descending from the participants' area.
Under the eyes of everyone, I stepped inside the fighting stage. I stood on one side.
Seconds later, Kenny Sutton entered the stage and stood on the opposite side of me.
When I met his gaze, I saw his lips curved upwards. There is no hint of fear on his face. Seeing that I laughed inside.
Damn! It's very hard to pretend these days. If not for my low-key character, I would have laughed out loud.
Well, it will be a matter of time before his smug smile disappears.
Then I instructed the system, "System, probe the details of Kenny Sutton."

A blue status panel appeared in front of my eyes. My eyes immediately scanned the opponent's details. There is not much surprise. His statistics were normal.
I see no threat from his spells also. It's a typical attack-type spell. But it can be only used in close combat.
I have to say his magic power intrigued me. Minerals ah? I don't know why but the meteor country comes to mind.
Then shaking my head, I thought about my classmates' combat power.
But when it comes to my class division duels. Kenny's strength is not enough to defeat the top 10 wizards.
Unfortunately, he met me. There is no way he would reach the next stage. A cold glint flashed in my eyes.
...
Inside the new viewing block,
"Finally, the duel is going to start." Chairman Benjamin adjusted his obese body in excitement.
On the other hand, the headmaster and class teacher Eric were conversing.
"There is no suspense in the first duel," Headmaster Chester said with a smile.
Hearing that, Class teacher Eric nodded his head. He knew his combat power of Vincent can be ranked mid-level in the class.
So it will be easier for him to defeat Kenny Sutton.
...
Arena,
Brian Carey's expression was solemn. He didn't know about wizard students' details. But when he heard his younger brother's name he got tense.
At the same time, Lucas Brad is watching the duel with Timothy and Palmer.
Lucas Brad is calm but Palmer and Timothy show nervousness on their faces.
It did not go unnoticed by Lucas Brad. He asked, "Why are you so paranoid about the duel?"
"Don't you trust brother Vincent? He can easily defeat that piece of sh!t," Lucas added.
He didn't know why these two people were so scared. Then he suddenly thought about something. He turned towards Palmer and asked, "Don't tell me you guys were thrashed by him?"
Palmer's expression darkened. He cursed at fatty for his quick thinking. Timothy got black lines on his forehead.
Both of them didn't reply to Lucas's question and remained quiet.
But Lucas saw through their moods. "Don't worry, brother Vincent is strong." He said with a small snort.
Similar scenes happened in different parts of the arena. People who knew about Vincent Carey strongly supported him. Very few are supporting Kenny Sutton.
...
Participants area,
"What do you think?" Eric Marsh asked.
A quick glint flashed in Judy Owens's eyes.
It's not a secret that Vincent Carey is a sub-taboo wizard. People have a strong belief in sub-taboo magic.
Compared to the normal standard. The sub-taboo magic is highly destructive and powerful.
So Judy Owens has the same thought as well.
"The winner will be Vincent Carey," She said with a smile.
Eric Marsh frowned. He replied, "I don't think the sub-taboo magic is all that powerful. Besides, Kenny Sutton's mineral magic is very hard. I think Kenny will win the match."
Judy Owens didn't say anything to defend Vincent Carey. Everything will be clear when they fight.
At the same time, the wizards from Class A1 also discussed.
People who received a text message from Frank Lambert can't wait to see the ugly and defeated face of Vincent Carey.
What sub-taboo magic? In their opinion, at lower-level ranks, everyone is equal.
Liam Baker's eyes shone with a cold glint. Unlike everyone, he wishes for Vincent's victory. Only in that way, he can crush Vincent with his very own hands.
Frank Lambert's eyes gleamed with excitement. For him, the current duels are going to be more entertaining than previous duels. Because he was the man behind the scenes.
Even if Vincent is secure to gain Victory over Kenny Sutton, he will face further difficulties.
Because Frank has promised others hefty sums and resources. No one can deny his proposal.
So before his serious duel with Victoria Shields. He wants to put an end to the jumping clown.
Frank's little tactics were already clear to the other three wizards above him.
Victoria shields disdain for such behaviour. At the same time, she is not friends with Vincent Carey. So she didn't care.
Brent Dale and Danny Quinn were silently observing the situation. In their minds, the whole year-end competition is a waste of time.
Everyone is aware of their combat power. So what is the need for such competition? This can be only silently said in their hearts.
...
(From MC's perspective)
In the fighting stage,
The silver barrier is beginning to envelop the stage.
Seeing that, I closed my eyes and pondered.
I don't want to release the gravity spell to defeat him. It is just the first match. There are plenty more to come.
So I made up my mind to defeat the opponent using body strength.
When the barrier completely enveloped the stage. The duel has started.
I saw Kenny Sutton rushing towards me at full speed.
Seeing that my lips curved a little. Is this guy not going to use his mineral magic?
What a fool! But thanks to his foolish behaviour. I'm going to end this duel in one move.
At my current level-2 rank, his movements appeared very slow to my eyes. I'm seeing his clenching fist like he is planning to use his first spell.
"Vincent Carey, I'm going to crush you in front of everyone."
When he was a few feet away from me, I heard his roaring voice.
The next second, I disappeared from my spot and appeared behind him.
Kenny Sutton's pupil constricts.
Without giving him any chance, I raised my palm and gave a quick blow behind his neck.
Smack
Before Kenny Sutton could realize the truth he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Thud
Seeing him, I laughed in my heart. Hereafter he will never forget today's match.
Outside,
The crowd broke out in loud cheer. But in the next few moments, the atmosphere turned into pin-drop silence.
All happened in a blink of an eye.
Everyone expected to see the bombardment of spells by both wizards.
Especially the media coverage people wanted to capture the power of sub-taboo magic. But nothing that sort of happened.
When the duel started, everyone saw Kenny Sutton dashing towards his opponent.
Everyone expected to see some attack spell. But before the crowd could realize it, Kenny Sutton fainted on the spot.
This unexpected turnaround made everyone stunned.
Then everyone's eyes were glued to the big display screen. Which started to replay the final clash.
Finally, everyone witnessed the attack on Vincent Carey. It is nothing but a small palm slice to the neck but was enough to defeat the opponent.
After seeing the result, the quiet atmosphere turned into a loud cheer. This is the real deal. The new wizard from Class A1 ended the duel in one move.
Which shows the combat power of the elite class. The duel was over in a couple of seconds. The crowd realized this was on a different scale compared to other class division duels.
Even the dissatisfied faces of the media turned into bright smiles.
