Chapter 9: I’m Not Convinced!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Don’t worry, teachers, I definitely have the cultivation of a perfect apprentice magician. I won’t joke about my student career,” Li Wei said with a smile.
“Then you meditate and let me feel your spiritual power!” The referee still did not believe him.
Li Wei could only sit cross-legged on the ground helplessly and began to meditate. The referee carefully felt it and found that Li Wei’s strength was indeed qualified.
“Alright, that’s enough. Let’s begin.”
The referee used gentle spiritual energy to wake Li Wei up. Hearing this, Li Wei stood up and picked up his “staff”, indicating to the referee that he was ready.
As Li Wei was an apprentice magician, the puppet could only use level-1 magic.
It was a very ordinary fireball spell, but it was completely different from ordinary people’s. It was a fireball with a diameter of half a meter.
“Damn, this puppet also dislikes Li Wei. Does it want to kill him? This is a perfect fireball spell.”
After all, they were all students of the Spano Academy. They all knew that a fireball spell with a diameter of half a meter was the limit that a human could reach.
“I wonder how Li Wei will deal with it.”
“Of course, he’ll definitely dodge first!”
However, to everyone’s surprise, Li Wei did not dodge. Instead, he stood on the spot and chanted an incantation. These people only had one word in their minds: madman. If he was not a madman, who would fight with a fireball while standing on the spot and chanting an incantation?
Just as the fireball was about to arrive, Li Wei finished chanting his incantation. A fireball with the same diameter of half a meter rose into the air and smashed straight toward the opposite side.
Li Wei had cultivated the Fireball spell to perfection! Before everyone could react to this amazing feat, Li Wei’s fireball had directly smashed through the puppet’s fireball. Then, it rushed toward the puppet and finally exploded on its body.
This puppet was just a simple device to release magic. It did not have any defense mechanism hence it was directly blown into pieces by Li Wei’s fireball.
This scene happened thanks to the magic staff in Li Wei’s hand. Although it was both a magic staff and a sword, it was also engraved with a magic array to increase its power.
For this magic array, Li Wei had used one level-2 magic crystal gold coin. Therefore, although Li Wei’s fireball was the same size as the puppet’s, there was no doubt that Li Wei’s fireball was stronger and more solid.
The referee did not expect this either. Moreover, Li Wei’s fireball was too fast. He could not react at all.
The others were so shocked that they could not speak. Li Wei was also stunned on the spot. Li Wei was not shocked by the power of his fireball, but he was afraid that the academy would ask him to compensate for the puppet. That would be a huge loss!
“I announce that the winner of this match is student Li Wei.”
At this moment, the four people who had been promoted to official students were the fourth genius, second genius, first genius, and Li Wei.
“Teacher, I’d like to ask, do you need me to pay for this puppet?” Li Wei weakly raised his hand and asked the referee.
Li Wei’s words also stumped the referee. He had not encountered such a question before. For a moment, he did not know what to answer.
“Students, please wait a moment. I’ll go and ask the teachers of the Education Commission. I’ll be back soon!”
Li Wei stood where he was with a bitter expression. Although he had successfully become an official student, he felt a wave of discomfort when he thought about the gold coins that he had spent so much effort to save.
Fortunately, the referee did not let everyone wait too long. Soon, he came back with a tutor.
Li Wei knew that the tutor was a famous person in the academy. He was in charge of discipline issues, similar to the role of the Dean of Education in his previous life. His name was Clayderman.
“Ahem, I just watched the performance of these four students from the side. To be honest, they were all very wonderful, but there was only one person who truly amazed me…” as he said this, Clayderman paused for a moment.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts were hanging in the air. Everyone knew that he was about to announce who was the first place winner!
“That’s our student Li Wei!” Once Clayderman finished speaking, the crowd immediately started to get rowdy.
Everyone thought that the first place winner should be Swire, but they did not expect Li Wei to suddenly appear out of nowhere and snatch the first place.
“Alright, although everyone passed the test, they only passed the second stage. But Li Wei is different. He relied on his familiarity with incantations and the Fireball spell that far surpassed the puppet to obtain victory in the first stage. Therefore, the first place goes to Li Wei! So, does anyone still think that my decision is wrong?”
Clayderman’s words made a lot of sense. After all, Li Wei had displayed strength far beyond his peers. The people below could not do it. Even the so-called geniuses on the stage did not have the confidence to perfect a spell in a few years. At this moment, they also felt that Li Wei is worthy of the first place.
“Then I announce…”
“I refuse to accept it!” Just as Clayderman was about to announce the results, Swire’s voice rang out.
“What do you have against it?” Clayderman asked Swire unhappily as he was a little angry that Swire had interrupted him.
“I refuse to accept it. I reached the level of an intermediate magician at the age of sixteen. He’s already eighteen years old and is only an apprentice magician. How is he stronger than me? How can he win first place?” Swire asked loudly, no longer looking as elegant and polite as before.
“Just based on the fact that his magic incantation is only a split second away from an instant cast. Can you do it? In a battle between magicians, once one side finishes casting the first spell, the other side will fall into a passive state. This kind of passive state is no less than a slow death. Therefore, I feel that in terms of battle performance, student Li Wei is undoubtedly more outstanding!” Clayderman patiently explained although he was displeased.
“I admit that you’re right, but that will only happen when the strength is about the same. I’m two realms higher than him. I don’t think he’s a threat to me! Li Wei, I want to challenge you. Do you dare to agree?” Then, he looked at Li Wei arrogantly.
“Nonsense. Do you know that your level is higher than others? Yet, do you still want to bully others with your high cultivation level? Where is your chivalry?” Clayderman was furious. Swire was not giving him face.
“Teacher, chivalry is for knights, not magicians. Li Wei, do you accept my challenge or not?” Swire ignored Clayderman’s obstruction and continued to speak.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in battles that don’t benefit me..” Li Wei lightly rejected Swire’s challenge.
