(From MC’s perspective)

Little Star Gate High School,

When we entered the star battle arena. I saw the mass crowd of people. The wizard students came with their families to watch the event. This time the event is a bit special. The event is going to be streamed live. So I guess it attracted more attention this time. .

Shaking my head, I turned towards fatty and said, “Okay, I’m going to the participant’s area. You guys can leave.”

Hearing that, Lucas Brad was stunned and realised that participants have a separate areas. He nodded in response, “Don’t worry brother. I’ll cheer you hardly.” Saying that he gave a huge thumbs up.

At this time, Chrissy Heart also interjected by saying, “Vincent, we will also cheer you from our side.”

Hearing that, I smiled. Then I nodded at them before walking towards the participant area.

Seeing the disappearance back of Vincent Carey. Chrissy Heart turned towards Lucas Brad and asked, “Lucas, what rank will Vincent reach this time?”

Bruce Hill and Mark Spears also perked up their ears to listen. In their opinion, Vincent Carey will reach 8th or 9th rank this time.

Lucas brad who was watching the disappearing back of Vincent suddenly turned towards the trio. To be honest, he has a vague feeling that brother Vincent will bring a surprise this time. But he doesn’t know what is it going to be.

Then looking at the trio, he said, “Let’s wait and see.”

After saying that he led the trio towards the spectator’s area. As brother Vincent just said, he needs to find a good spot to watch the competition in relaxation.

With that, four of them immediately left the spot.

On the other hand, I’m walking towards the participant area. The participant area is right below the south hall. Seeing that, I raised my head to see the huge room above the spectator areas.

This is not an amazing view. What is more amazing is that on top of the south hall. There is one more room. I believe this room is specially built for higher-ups to watch the competition.

When I realised that, a quick glint flashed in my eyes. Then dispelling the thoughts, I walked forward. After reaching the spectator area, I saw wizard students being divided.

A rank division student sat alone on one side. Similarly, B-rank wizard students are seated together. Then I saw the C rank and D rank students. Their numbers were low but still, they chose not to mingle with others.

Then suddenly, I saw two new people sitting in the corner. But different from others they wore an S badge on the chest. Which immediately drew my attention. S badge? Yes, it’s the special class badge. These two were from a newly formed special class.

And one of them is familiar to me. She participated in a previous star battle platform event.”Interesting,” I muttered to myself. Then after taking a glance at them, I walked towards the A rank division area.

When I walked past class A2 students, two people immediately shouted my name.

“Brother Vincent,”

“Vincent,”

Hearing that, I glanced at Class A2 students. Then I saw two familiar people, Timothy and Palmer. “These two,” Seeing them, I revealed a small smile on my face.

After nodding at them, I walked up to our class section. All of the top 10 wizards in my class are seated in hierarchical order. Seeing that, a cold glint flashed in my eyes.

Perceiving my gaze, Liam Baker turned towards me and gave a cold snort. Not only him but I also observed others’ reactions. By this time, everyone felt my presence.

They all turned toward me including the top 3 wizards. Brent Dale, Danny Quinn and Victoria Shields.

Brent Dale and Danny Quinny only took a glance at me before closing their eyes. Victoria looked at me with interest without showing many expressions on her face. But I can feel her eyes were filled with curiosity.

Then my gaze fell on the nasty fellow. The 4th rank wizard Frank Lambert. This time he cracked a wild grin upon seeing me. Different people showed different reactions.

After looking at everyone, I sat beside the 10 rank wizard. Liam Baker’s rank has risen in recent months. He is now a 9th-rank wizard. Except for the top 4, there were some changes in rankings.

When I sat down comfortably, everyone retreat their gaze. This time including me, only 11 people are going to participate in the competition. And other mid-ranked and bottom-ranked wizards abstained from participating in the competition.

When I observed the Class A2 wizard students, a beautiful silhouette comes to mind. Some time ago, Adrianna Rivers resigned from her job and went back to her native place. I wonder, what is she doing now?

Fortunately, before going she gave me her contact information. If there is time in future, I will contact her. Then I retraced my thoughts and observed the competition.

Time passed,

One hour later, the entire arena is filled with people. In five minutes, the competition will officially start. My eyes gleamed with twinkle when I saw the media people.

I had never expected the operation to be this big. A faint smile rose on my face.

Five minutes later,

A loud announcement was made.

“Hello everyone, welcome to our grand year-end competition.”

“Thank you for your patience. The event officially starts now.”

When the announcement was finished, the crowd broke out in loud cheers. The announcement was short and sweet without much lengthy speech.

Then my gaze fell on the duel stage, officially known star battle platform. The square pattern duel stage was heavily protected from the outside. No one can enter inside except the participants.

Above the battle platform, in the middle of the air. A holographic screen was showing the image of the participants.

The first duel is going to be between the wizard students from the D rank division. When the name was displayed. Immediately those two students walked out and proceed to enter the ring.

I wasn’t surprised by the matchup. The elite wizard students are from A class. And it’s known as a secret to everyone. And the battle of elite students will be held at last in such high-profile events.

Suddenly, I saw the media people focusing on the contenders. The live streaming is started. There are dedicated holographic screens placed at different areas of the spectator area for live streaming.

Four of them were also placed on their side. But everyone here is used to seeing the duel stage directly. So none of us was looking at the projection screen.

Seeing that, I turned my gaze towards the duel stage. When the two wizard students entered inside they immediately stood opposite each other.

Looking at them, I thought the duel will take some time to end. Because both of the participants were at the same level. Unless one runs out of the man, the duel won’t end easily.

The next second, I saw a huge silver colour screen begin to envelop the stage. A quick glint flashed in my eyes. This screen looks different than before. It looked like the screen was enhanced more this time for the competition.

The silver screen prevents the attacks from falling outside. So the safety of the spectators was highly guaranteed.

When the duel started, I saw one of them disappear from the spot and the next second he started dashing towards the opponent directly.

The speed was so fast that for low-level wizards it was impossible to follow him. “Speed magic,” Seeing that I cracked up a smile.

For me, the speed magic looks tasteless. For low-level wizards, it may look cool and all. But when it comes to higher levels, I don’t how far their speed magic will go.

When a wizard breaks through a level, he will again overall improvement including speed. There are also rare relics available in this world which can improve the speed of the wizards.

So anyone can contend against the speed wizards as long as they gain the necessary resources. The speed wizards are not special unless they got the terrifying talent to support it.

A quick glint flashed in my eyes when I saw the other student. He was transformed into an earth golem.

Earth elemental magic? No, it’s more like transformation magic. But this wizard student has single transformation talent. So apart from earth golem, he can’t transform into other forms.

After realizing that, I cracked up a smile. But unfortunately, it’s hard to find an advanced meditation method for golem transformation magic.

Then I began to observe the duel. The speed wizard student couldn’t able to break the defence of the earth golem. After a few clashes, he immediately retreated.

Seeing that, I shook my head in disappointment. As expected, this duel will be decided when someone runs out of mana. The speed wizard has to come up with some other trick to break the defence of the earth golem wizard.

But I feel, the earth golem wizard will consume his mana more than the speed wizard. I hope he is not that stupid, if he continues to use the transformation magic he will end up losing the duel.
