Chapter 420 For Every Action There Is An Equal Reaction [Part 2]
“Feel free to use me as your target practice,” Lord Edmond said as he faced everyone in Professor Nicola’s class.
“I will even ask Professor Rinehart to give you 10,000 additional Merit Points if you succeed in silencing me. However, I will also give you some facts about this spell, which your Professor didn’t tell any of you.
“If your opponent has a very high resistance to magic, or has deployed a magical barrier, this spell will not have any effect on them. Right now, you are still First Years and, although some of you are talented, my mental and magical defenses are fairly high.
“So, if you manage to silence me, it means that you have a very promising future. Just remember, for every action, there is an equal reaction. Please keep this in mind.”
The students glanced at each other and hesitated.
The majority of the students in Brynhildr Academy were the sons and daughters of Nobles, or aiming to have a good relationship with some of the Noble Families.
Lord Edmond was the Grand Archmage of the Kingdom of Eastshire, and anyone who pointed a wand at him could be charged with treason.
Because of this, none of them dared to aim their wands at him, including Nicole, who was considered as one of the most talented First Years of this generation.
Professor Nicola knew this as well, so she decided to increase the reward with the intention of enticing the students to give it a shot.
Of course, she understood that most of them would not dare to offend the Archmage, with the exception of two people in her class.
“Silentium!”
“Silentium!”
Ethan, and Chloe both tried to cast their spells, while aiming their wand at the Grand Archmage of Eastshire.
The tips of their wands glowed silver, but dispersed before the spell was completed.
Lord Edmond narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the two individuals who tried to cast the silencing spell on him.
He could understand why Ethan tried to do it because he had already fought the teenage boy in a duel.
However, the young lady, with long, light-brown hair, and green eyes was unfamiliar to him.
Nicole and Lilian, who were in the same class as them, looked at Chloe with solemn expressions on their faces.
Professor Nicola, on the other hand, smirked as she looked at the young lady in amusement.
Similar to Professor Edmond, she had expected that Ethan would try to use the silencing spell.
However, Chloe using it as well was truly unexpected, making the third strongest person in Brynhildr Academy look at her with favorable eyes.
After seeing that she failed to cast the spell, Chloe narrowed her eyes, but didn’t lower her wand.
Her gaze was still fixed on Lord Edmond, and yet, in her vision, she wasn’t seeing the old man.
The one she was looking at was her handsome cousin, whom she hadn’t talked to for the past few weeks.
Suddenly, the corner of her lips rose into a sneer, making Professor Nicola and Lord Edmond arch an eyebrow in her direction.
“Silentium.”
Chloe said in a cold and chilling tone, making her eyes glow faintly in eerie golden light.
A moment later, a silver beam of light flew from the tip of her wand, and hit Lord Edmond’s mouth, making the Grand Archmage almost choke on his saliva.
He didn’t expect that the teenage girl would really fire the silencing spell at him, and worse, she targeted his mouth, as if truly wanting to shut him up.
With a heavy heart, the Grand Archmage opened his lips to tell the young lady that she should be more respectful to her elders.
However, a second later, he realized that no words were coming out of his mouth, which genuinely surprised him.
“Congratulations Ms. Gremory,” Professor Nicola said with a smile on her pretty face. “The 10,000 Merit Points are yours. Also, I will ask the Headmaster to give you 10,000 more Merit Points just as Lord Edmond promised.”
The Grand Archmage was truly speechless not because he was under the Silentium Spell, but because the young lady was able to overcome his strong magical and mental resistance.
He believed that only Wizards and Witches, on the level of Professor Rinehart, Professor Barret, and Professor Nicola would succeed in using the silencing spell against him.
However, he was proven wrong.
‘She’s still a First Year, but she has a promising future,” Edmond thought, no longer feeling bitter, but feeling slightly excited that another talented Magician had popped up in their kingdom like Ethan.
He was almost tempted to take Chloe in as his Disciple, but he was simply too busy with the affairs of the Kingdom to teach her properly.
The Grand Archmage then glanced at the Professor beside him and thought of an idea.
“Take responsibility,” Edmond said to Professor Nicola, making the latter purse her lips.
The right-hand man of the King only said two words, but the Professor fully understood what the latter was trying to say.
‘Since you dared to use me as a test subject then you better teach this girl properly. Otherwise, I’ll make things difficult for you!’
Those were the meaning behind the Grand Archmage’s two words, which Professor Nicola easily understood.
“I’ll think about it,” Professor Nicola replied before shifting her attention to her students, who were still in a state of shock due to what happened a few minutes ago.
Ethan glanced at his cousin, who was now apologizing to the Grand Archmage due to her action.
Of course, Edmond had already forgiven her.
The Grand Archmage even told her that she should continue striving to greater heights, and become one of the Pillars that would support the Kingdom.
He even added that if she ever encountered any trouble in the future, she could send him a letter and he would see what he could do about it.
This information gave everyone another shock because they could clearly tell that the right-hand-man of the King was being serious about it.
A few hours later, news of what happened in the Spell Casting class spread throughout the academy during lunch time.
Chloe’s name was now being spoken by her peers, and some of them were even thinking of making a move on her.
Now that she and her cousin, Ethan, seemed to have entered a cold war, several boys considered asking her out on a date, so that they could get to know the young lady better, whom they originally thought was just a beautiful accessory that made Ethan look good.
