Beep!
The alarm sound woke me up from my sleep. After I got off my bed, I began to freshen up. Today is an important day for me. I'm going to fight against Victoria Shields.
My lips bent into a gentle arc thinking about it. I can't wait for the duel to start.
One hour later,
After changing into my school uniform, I walked downstairs to have breakfast.
Seeing my family, I quickened my pace.
"Son, I watched your duel yesterday. You gave us a lot of surprises." Father Brad Carey said.
Hearing that, I nodded in response and sat in my seat. I wasn't surprised by dad's answer. I knew both were keeping an eye on my duel.
Seeing the calm face of his son, Brad Carey asked further, "How confident are you today?"
Mother Lila Carey glanced at her son and said, "It's fine to admit defeat if the opponent is strong."
"I heard that girl Victoria is a strong wizard in your class."
"So try not to be overconfident," She said in a solemn tone.
The rate of improvement shown by their son made them stunned. But at the same time, everyone is aware of Vincent's sub-taboo magic.
So it did make a lot of sense to many people.
Brian Carey who is eating a mouthful didn't even glance at Vincent. His worldview was overturned yesterday. He will not be underestimating his younger brother anymore.
So he decided not to annoy his younger brother right now.
At the same time, my parents' concern made me smile. Looking at the two of them, "If I use my magic power, I will win the duel."
After saying that I began to eat the steamed pork pieces.
Brad and Lila Carey looked at each other. Their son's answer made them realize the truth. It was known to everyone that Vincent didn't release his magic spell in the competition.
So quite a lot of them are betting on the duels. In the end, both of them have faith in their son.
Then after the small chat, the family continued their breakfast.
A few minutes later, I decided to leave.
"We will watch your duel from the hospital," I heard the voice of mum and dad behind me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing that I smiled and left the house. When I opened the front gate to exit. I spotted a few reporters.
After taking a glance at them, I head towards my school.
While walking along the streets, I see an increase in people. Fortunately, I wore a mask to cover half of my face. So people won't pay attention to me.
20 minutes later,
I reached my school. Seeing the bustling crowd this early, I don't know what to say for a moment.
Because it's quite a lot more than yesterday.
Suddenly, my chest got tightened. I feel a bad premonition in my heart, "What?"
Is the dark league again? I can't think of anything other than them.
The next second, I calmed down my nerves and proceeded to enter the school.
Right now, only the school can provide me with cover.
As I'm walking, my mind is occupied with thoughts. If it's a dark league then who came this time? Is it a single person or a team? Various questions appeared in my heart.
I have to do something. After entering the school, I quickly walked towards the waiting area.
Outside,
Carlos furrowed his eyebrows when he saw a young man wearing a mask entering the school.
For a moment, he suspected the young man to be Vincent Carey. Then he removed the thoughts from his head.
There is still plenty of time before the start of the duel. And Vincent Carey is the star of the day. He will probably arrive a little bit late.
Then shaking his head, he continued to wait.
Inside the school,
After arriving at the school, I texted Mr John. I sent him a usual message that I'm being stalked. Which is enough to let him know I'm in danger.
Besides, I'm not sure who came this time. There is also a slight possibility for Frank Lambert to arrange for some people to kill me.
A cold glint flashed in my eyes.
Frank Lambert is a cruel b@$tard. If it's him, then he is digging his own grave.
Sometime later,
I met with Lucas Brad and co. This time there are more people with Lucas Brad. They were none other than the poisonous trio.
Seeing them all fine, a trace of pity appeared in my eyes. I don't know what these guys will do after my graduation.
"Brother Vincent, you were awesome yesterday. But ice-cold beauty is very powerful."
"So what are you going to do?"
Lucas Brad expressed his concern. So far he had unwavering trust in Vincent. But the top 3 wizards were different.
Not only they were talented. Three of them were seniors. So it's normal for their power to grow by leaps and bounds.
When fatty finished his words. It made others perk up their ears. Palmer and Timothy were very much convinced of Vincent's strength.
But Palmer recalled the article of certain news outlets. Most of them were about Victoria's winning chances.
"Sigh"
"You guys were worrying unnecessarily. I have a plan," I said with a sigh.
From time to time, I looked at my communication watch. There is no reply from Mr John.
I wonder whether he has seen my message.
Then after talking for a few more minutes. We walked towards the battle arena. I still didn't remove my mask.
But many students on the way immediately recognised me.
"Hmmm," Surprisingly I spotted the Class teacher at this time. He is looking at me.
"You guys go ahead. Mr Eric is waiting for me." After saying that I left the group.
Lucas Brad and others also saw class teacher Eric.
They understand there must be something that Class teacher Eric wanted to discuss.
So they immediately left the spot.
Class Teacher Eric smiled. Today's duel is much more important for the administration. He hopes that Vincent will do well. At the same time, he also had some requests.
When I walked up to him, I greeted him with a smile.
I asked, "Class teacher, what are you doing here?"
Eric Wallace said with a smile, "I came here to see you."
"Vincent, how is your preparation?"
Hearing that I sighed in relief. I thought there was some other issue.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Teacher, I'm fine. I will win the duel."
A surprise glint flashed in Eric's eyes. He is encouraging him but he didn't expect such a confident reply.
But again he came for something else.
"Cough"
"Uhh, Vincent. I have something to ask you," Eric said.
What is going on? I raised my eyebrows in surprise. But I maintained a calm expression on my face.
Seeing the silence, Eric asked, "Could you use your magic powers in the next duel?"
"Magic powers?" I uttered in surprise.
Eric Wallace sighed inwardly. He decided to reveal the administration's concerns.
"You know, yesterday your duel attracted a lot of criticism. Especially when you ended the duel without using magic," Eric said looking at Vincent.
"What does the management want?" I replied.
The negative comments were against me. I didn't see that many articles against me. What are they up to?
Seeing that Vincent is keeping his calm. A look of approval flashed in Eric's eyes.
The top 3 wizard duels will attract everyone's attention. So it would be better if everyone gave their best.
"Vincent, you just need to give your best. Use your magic powers against Victoria Shields. No one wants to see a boring duel," Eric Wallace said with a smile.
Finally, I realized what was going on. The management wants me to use the magic in my next duel. Looks like they were also displeased by the boring duel.
All I can think of is that they want to earn fame. Then shaking my head, I collected my thoughts and replied, "Teacher, against Victoria. It is impossible for me not to use magic. She is extremely strong."
"So, don't worry. I understand your concerns."
Eric Wallace nodded in relief. He thought Vincent would be adamant. Fortunately, he is quite understanding. But when it comes to defeating Victoria Shields he doesn't think so.
In order to not demoralize Vincent. He didn't bring up the topic. He hopes Vincent will learn something after losing against Victoria Shields.
And the name of the top 2 wizards didn't cross his mind at all. Then after encouraging Vincent Carey, he immediately left the place.
Looking at the disappearing back of the Class teacher, I sighed inwardly. From beginning to end, he didn't even talk about my winning chances. In the end, he is just consoling me.
But I don't know what he will think when I plummet all those three before me. My lips curved into arcs thinking about it.
The next second, I walked to the battle arena. After entering inside, I see a crowd of people and media reporters near the duel stage. Then I head towards the participant's area.
On the other hand, Lucas Brad and others also occupied good seats to watch the duel.
