Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 315 A bet is a bet

A little too much was going on, to the point where no one knew who was watching, where to focus, what was going to happen next, and so on. Everyone somewhat just looked at Raze as he was walking back to his seat.

He passed by others and sat down with his arms folded, the look on his face even more displeased compared to before. If he looked unapproachable before, it was the case even more so now.

However, his actions did spark interest from them all, as they started to wonder just who was Kellyʼs brother. How was someone able to act so fast and so quickly in time? Even more so, how did he get through the barrier?

The teacher of the lesson, Trin, was trying to get things moving forward again, and in an attempt to do this, he started to walk over to the one person who was the cause of all of this, Aurora.

Making his steps onto the platform, before he had even reached her, sobs were being heard.

”Iʼm so sorry!” Aurora cried as she covered her mouth and face into her arms, trying to wipe them away, her voice muffled. ”I never knew that was going to happen. I just wanted to win the fight so bad.”

”I just wanted to show what I could do.”

Originally, Trin thought he should punish Aurora, but was there a need to? According to his rules, she had stayed within what he had set. Maybe it was his own overconfidence that led to this accident happening, believing he could save everyone no matter what had occurred.

And in the end, no one had gotten hurt.

”Apologize to everyone directly. A full-hearted apology,” Trine ordered. ”We were lucky that no one got hurt.”

Aurora wiped away her tears one more time as she agreed, nodding her head, and immediately went to each of the students that were in the sand on the side. She bowed her head, apologizing to each of them one after the other.

After that, she went to where the adults were sitting as well, and gave them one bow, apologizing to them all. Finally, there was one more person to apologize to, and that was Kelly, who was still on the platform and still on the ground.

”Iʼm sorry for what happened. I hope you can find it within me to forgive me.”

Kelly wasnʼt sure, but when she bowed down, she thought she could see a slight smirk, but it quite easily could have been her imagination as well.

With the apology done, Trin wanted to get things moving on and for everyone to try and forget about what had happened as soon as possible. He explained a set of new rules.

Combination magic was not allowed, and in this assessment, one spell would have to be used at a time, not two in conjunction so that a real accident couldnʼt occur.

Most mages did this anyway for fear of what would happen when combining spells, but with these new rules, he hoped nothing would occur.

With that, the spars continued to take place as students went on to face each other one after the other. The adults continued to watch, and eventually, in the crowd, Alen decided to speak up.

”The young ones can do foolish things sometimes, right?” Alen commented. ”They think too much with their emotions rather than their heads. Which is why I thank you for not harming my sister.”

Raze didnʼt want his thanks. If he was still at the nine-star level and was confident enough that he could deal with everyone that was in the room while bringing Kelly out of it, he would have acted on his attack.

”Anyway, I guess we can say that my sister is the clear winner, so you need to tell me about yourself, right?” Alen asked with a smile.

”What?” Raze replied, turning his head. ”The fight was aborted due to your sisterʼs actions.”

”Yes, but you have to admit, she followed the rules. She had only used 2-star spells just as stated. If it was a real fight, then Kelly would have lost. You must be able to see that, right?” Alen asked.

”Did you see everything?” Raze asked. ”If we are going by your rules, then wouldnʼt your sister have lost the actual fight?”

”What do you mean?” Alen was watching everything carefully. If Raze hadnʼt intervened, then he, for sure, knew that Kelly would have lost.

”Your sister, in order to protect herself, she used a 3-star spell. If she hadnʼt done that, then her own combination attack would have hurt her just as much as it did Kelly,” Raze answered. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Alen was ready to say something, but he knew Raze was right. He didnʼt see her use the spell, but it was the only explanation as to how she managed to get out unscathed.

Kelly was a 3-star mage as well but had used no 3-star spells. In reality, if they were both 2-star mages, they both would have gone up in flames.

”It seems my sister has ruined a good opportunity for the two of us to get closer together,” Alen tapped the bottom of his chin as he started to think.

”Wouldnʼt you say this is a draw? You intervened in the fight as well; letʼs just say that both students got disqualified,” Alen smiled.

”Because it is determined as a draw, I will be kind and give you one favor from me. As promised. But in return, do you mind answering one question of mine, and you have to answer it honestly.”

Alen reached in, and he pulled out a device that looked like a pocket watch. From where Raze was, he couldnʼt see it clearly, but if he were to take a guess, it was an enchanted item.

”Depends on what the question is?” Raze replied.

”I thought as much. Itʼs a simple question, really. What Star Mage are you?” Alen asked.

The question was a simple one, so Raze gave a simple answer. ”Iʼm a 3-Star Mage.”
