Chapter 813 Part 1: Final List
From MC's perspective:
Duel Platform,
As everyone was watching, Miranda was unable to endure the pain anymore. As she might lose consciousness at any moment.
"I accept defeat," She uttered in a low tone. Then she canceled her magic the next moment.
All the green fields and toxic flowers disappear into thin air.
On the other hand, Jennie heaved a sigh of relief as she gave up holding her breath. She starts to inhale the air again as the dangerous scene disappears.
Uproar!
Among the audience, a small commotion occurs. Some of them became jubilant and began to celebrate. This result was expected by many.
The referee then declared Jennie as the winner. But not many were able to notice that Jennie was tired. Only she knows what she has gone through.
Before walking off the stage, she looks at Miranda. She thinks Miranda will win in a do-or-die situation. Her opponent will end up dead not knowing anything.
Miranda collected her thoughts before stepping out of the platform. She did her part. No one from the Unique Hall can complain.
Jennie was the favorite in this match-up. So no one can criticize her defeat.
Quiet!
When the atmosphere returned to normal.
The referee then looks towards the top 5 wizards. Because the bottom one has used their chances. Now their place is fixed. Unless the top 5 challenges the bottom places.
It's unlikely to happen. So there is going to be a duel between the top 5 wizards.
When the referee's eyes swept across everyone. The audience's gaze is also set on them. Most of them are expecting Vincent Carey to challenge the top. Which was also the most anticipated match-up.
But apart from Carolina and Gilbert Reese, no one knows about Vincent's decision.
Sitting in 2nd place, my eyes flickered. Apart from Mike and Pete everyone else had one duel at least.
So I wonder what others are going to do?
Mike was calm and composed. But in his heart, he is hoping that Vincent will challenge him. In this way, he could fulfill one of his plans.
But no outsiders can know what is inside Mike's mind.
Jennie just returned a moment ago. She is not going to step up right now.
Whereas Rayon's eyes are flickering. He still has several cards under his sleeves. But he is not planning to set up either.
The only person he could fight against was Pete. He is just one rank above him. He doesn't want to expose his cards to climb one rank higher.
Meanwhile,
The referee saw that no one was willing to come out. He saw through their thoughts. There is a huge gap between the top 2 and the other three wizards.
Even the three of them are different. They came from different Wizard Halls. It's highly unlikely they can issue a challenge and win against the opponent.
Jennie won't challenge Rayon. Rayon won't challenge Pete. Pete was defeated by Vincent in a previous duel. Now it's up to see what Vincent Carey is going to do.
On the other hand, Miranda and Kurtz's eyes flickered. They were also seen through this. There are unlikely changes to happen. Unless Vincent Carey steps up to challenge Mike Curtis.
A quick glint flashes in Kurtz's eyes. Earlier, he had made a friendly offer to Vincent Carey. At that, he was confident to defeat Vincent Carey in a duel.
Right now, his opinion is different. There are some truly capable genius wizard students among the top 10 ranks.
But the top 2 are mysteries. Deep and unfathomable.
"Taboo and Sub-Taboo," Kurtz said in his heart.
Miranda is thinking the same as well. Her magic is weak, especially against Vincent. So she is imagining duel scenarios in her mind.
Where Aaron's eyes are solemn. He knows the recent history between the Bloodline Hall and Vincent. Their bad luck has started ever since the hall started troubling the Sub-Taboo Hall.
He is not stupid like others. The Bloodline Hall Elders want him to step up. But he is planning to confront Vincent in this event. There is always time in the future.
Aaron then removed the displeasure in his heart.
Lin and Luxor are not thinking well either. But it's a fact that they are weak. Forget about defeating Vincent. They couldn't even defeat others.
Meanwhile,
Sub-Taboo Hall isolated space:
"What is that kid doing?" The crippled old man said to himself.
So far the duel was good. However, he was not impressed by the strength shown by the wizards. But he was happy that the list was diverse.
Most of the Wizard Hall names can be seen on that list. This shows that other Wizard Halls are not wasting the resources of the academy.
Hereafter other 3 Wizard Halls lost the opportunity to demand more resources from the academy. Because only their students have managed to enter the top 10.
Duel Platform,
5 minutes passed by. Still, no one is making any decision.
"Vincent Carey, you have one chance to challenge anyone?"
"What's your answer?" The referee asked. He finally called out the name of a wizard. He saw no one was willing to come forward.
So he decided to get an answer from their mouth.
When the words reached my ears. I felt the cold gaze of Mike on me. I can feel his fighting intent from here. Mike is looking forward to fighting me.
But it's a pity, I'm going to disappoint him.
"Senior, I let it pass. I'm more comfortable with my current position," I said to him.
The words reached everyone's ears. A disappointed sound was heard from the audience.
Mike's eyes burst out with a cold glint.
"You are a coward,' Mike Curtis said.
"I'm smart," I replied in a casual tone.
A surprise glint flashes in the referee's eyes. Because apart from Vincent, he can see no chances of others.
If Vincent is satisfied with the place, then nothing can be done.
"What about you guys?" the referee asked others.
Pete and others were surprised as well. Rayon realized that not only he, but others were planning to keep their card hidden as well.
