Chapter 251 Part One: Judy Owens Showed Her Strength
(From MC's perspective)
The atmosphere is very tense inside the arena. Though people are enjoying the duel, there is still a little bit of tension in the crowd. Especially fans of Eric Marsh are worried about the duel.
I couldn't help but chuckle after seeing the online comments. Then I turned off my communication watch and looked at the match.
Unlike Miley Reese, Tina Burns is quite clever. She saw through the opponent's details. And carefully retreated backwards to avoid confrontation.
Seeing that, my lips curved into a gentle arc. But I'm more interested to see Eric Marsh. I don't know. How long can his second spell withstand?
I believe there is some time limit for his second spell. If it was over, then it would be a matter of seconds before the death mist attacked him.
"Hmmm," Suddenly, I felt someone peeping at me.
"Ron Brito," I grumbled. Why is he staring at me? A quick glint flashed in my eyes. The 5th rank, Metal elemental wizard Ron Brito
After the death of former 5th-rank wizard Jake House. His rank improved. Now he is enjoying his status.
But I had no clash against him. Then what happened now? I feel something is wrong.
Then retracting my thought, I observed the duel.
...
In the dueling stage,
Eric Marsh wasn't able to touch Tine Burns because the death mist is slowing him down. If not for the resistance provided by the second spell, he would have been poisoned right now.
Thinking about the consequences, he was terrified.
"No, I have to end this duel quickly," he roared in his heart.
This time instead of chasing her back. He decided to predict her moves.
The deep green color mist covered her completely. It will be hard for anyone to know her exact position.
Eric Marsh charged at her. But his mind is constantly predicting her movements. His instinct tells him that she will choose her right direction.
He firmly grasped this feeling. Just before he comes in contact with the death mist, he dashed towards his left side.
On the other hand, Tina Burns was careless. After repeated moves, she thought this time will be the same. So she let down her guard unknowingly.
When she saw Eric Marsh charging towards her. She immediately chooses her right side to make some distance.
As she moved to the right side. Her face becomes discolored the next second. She saw Eric Marsh is a step closer than before.
But it was too late to do anything.
BOOM
She saw a red colour fist before her eyes. The next second, her body flew like a broken kite and crashed into the barrier.
This all happened in a blink of an eye.
Eric Marsh revealed a bright smile. But when he canceled his second spell, the aftermath of death mist immediately acted.
A green dot appeared on his body. Before he could realize what was going on? He lost consciousness.
Thud
His body dropped to the ground. Which immediately alerted health authorities. When the barrier was lifted off. Both of them were taken back to the clinic for treatment.
Gasp
On the other hand, the crowd was cheering out loud. Eric Marsh has now become the title winner of the B rank division. He kept his name as Darkhorse successfully in the competition.
But upcoming duels will be more exciting. Because the next duel will be an A-rank division duel.
Inside the new room,
Chairman Benjamin's mouth bent into an arc. He moved his obese body in excitement. He had never expected the kid Eric to be this saddened.
He behaved recklessly despite the danger. He reveals an amusing smile before turning towards headmaster Chester Nixon.
"Chester, did you force this kid to win?" His words rang like thunder inside the room.
His face was full of smiles. But the staff inside the room knew he was pissed off.
Chester Nixon's heart skipped a beat. Even he was surprised by Eric Marsh's determination. He hurriedly replied, "Chairman, this kid desperately wants to prove himself. That's why I guess he charged recklessly into the mist."
Hearing that, Chairman Benjamin calmed down his heart. He understands but if something happens to that kid. Then it will backfire on them.
"Okay, you can go and see how he is doing?" He said with a sigh.
Chester let go of his hanging heart. Then he immediately left the room.
Right now, he feels mixed emotions. He is glad that Eric won. But it's difficult to say whether he can participate in further duels. Shaking his head, he walked towards the duel.
...
In the dueling stage,
[The A rank division duels start now]
When the announcement was made, the crowd let out a roaring cheer.
[Let's welcome the challengers Judy Owens from special class and Matt Ryan from Class A6]
This time the cheer was even louder. Because by this time everyone knew about Judy Owens.
Thanks to media houses, they had not only covered new rising star Eric Marsh but also the person beside her.
Everyone speculated that both had similar strengths. But unfortunately, her name was not announced in previous duels.
This time people have an opportunity to witness her true strength.
Judy Owens got up from her seat and walked towards the dueling stage. Unfortunately, Eric is injured badly; he won't have a chance to witness the duel live. But he can watch it later.
One part of the crowd cheered, but the students in the participant's area booed her. Especially the wizard students from C and D rank divisions.
On the other hand, B rank division people were confused. They can understand that Eric Marsh is strong. Now that he defeated Tina Burns. None of them has any qualms about it.
But what's up with Judy Owens? The students showed mixed reactions to this. Yet one division remained silent. Which is A rank division.
Because they were aware that she was a former Class A3 student. So her strength should not be underestimated.
When both participants entered the dueling stage, the silver barrier began to envelop the stage.
Judy Owens, level-1 Glass Physique wizard vs Matt Ryan, level-1 Power type wizard
When the duel started both acted immediately.
Judy Ownes was confident in her defense. She knows the opponent is a power-type wizard. She had never expected her first duel would be against a power-type wizard. Which is a challenging one.
Before using the spell she wants to gauge the opponent's strength.
She saw Matt Ryen was expecting her to make the first move. After realizing that, she didn't hesitate anymore. She straightforwardly dashed towards the opponent.
On the other hand, Matt Ryan smirked. He thought the opponent would use some kind of spell. But to directly charge him, he doesn't know whether to call her full or not.
"Well, she is not using her spell. Then I'll do the same," After saying that he casually raised his fist to punch her.
On the other hand, Judy Owens saw the opponent's move. She is expecting something like this. So instead of getting flustered. She decided to face them head-on.
When she was a few steps away from the opponent. She raised her gentle jade-like hands to meet the opponent's punch. She clenched her small fist to take on the opponent's attack.
Outside the dueling stage, the crowd was stunned. They don't know why they didn't use their spell. But people with discerning eyes can see this is going to warm up.
Inside the dueling stage,
When Judy Owns little fist comes into contact with the opponent's punch directly.
Boom
A terrible sound reverberated through the area.
Matt Ryan's pupils constrict. He felt a huge vibration in his right hand. "What?" He immediately saw his right hand and retreated backwards a little.
At the same time, Judy Owens stood like a statue. She did not even break a sweat. Her punch was like a casual one. Seeing that, her opponent retreated backwards and a wide smile blossomed on her face.
The contrast between the two was visible to the public. If Eric was here, he would have widened his mouth.
It's not easy to withstand the strength of a power-type wizard. But she dealt with it casually.
Matt Ryan's face was darkened. He felt ashamed. He knew her opponent is not a power-type wizard but she can withstand his strength.
This time his expression turned serious. No way! He can't let this continue. She decided to use his spell directly.
"Tiger punch," he said.
His strength was instantly doubled in his right hand. Unlike Eric, his spell doesn't have any negative effects apart from the terrible consumption of mana.
A quick glint flashed in Judy Owens' eyes. She is confident that she can take this punch. She raised her fist boldly to meet the punch.
Gasp
The crowd exclaimed in surprise. They couldn't understand the movie of Judy Owens. But they continued to observe the duel without blinking an eye.
Matt Ryan punched fiercely when his fist came in contact again.
BOOM
Another terrible sound reverberated through the arena.
This time Judy Owens moves a few steps backwards due to the impact. But this was enough to make the crowd mad.
