?From MC’s perspective:

Rayon saw through their thoughts. Which made him wary of the top 2 Wizards.

Pete then gave the same answer to the referee. He is satisfied with his current position as well. So do Rayon and Jennie.

Everyone has used their chance except Mike Curtis.

But Mike was already sitting down in 1st place. The referee thought there was no need to talk. But Mike had a different plan.

He suddenly stood up from his seat and said to the referee, “I want to use my chance.”

Gasp!

As his voice reached everyone’s ears. A loud exclamation sounded everywhere.

“What?” The referee asked again. Because there was no need for Mike to challenge others. He already got 1st place.

But people with discerning eyes can tell that it’s not about the ranks. Mike was keen to fight against Vincent Carey.

The other genius wizards widened their eyes in surprise as well. No one expected such a turnaround. Who is willing to risk their 1st place to challenge someone below? Only Mike Curtis can do it.

The referee collected his thoughts before asking, “Who are you going to challenge?”

Mike Curtis revealed a bright smile on his face before saying, “Vincent Carey”

“Sh!t,” I cursed in my heart. I didn’t expect he was willing to go this far.

The next second, I felt many gazes on me. Many of the gazes filled with gloating and surprise.

I stood up from the seat and looked towards the referee and then I turned toward Mike.

Mike is looking at me with a wicked smile on his face.

“I accept defeat,” After saying that I sat back in my place again.

But my words caused even more shock and disbelief on everyone’s face.

Mike widened his eyes in surprise and anger The next second, his eyes reddened. He did not expect Vincent Carey to be this cowardly.

The referee was shocked as well. But he knows the tension between the 2 Wizard Halls.

Pete revealed a bitter smile on his face. The elemental hall had planned to turn the spotlight on them. But in the end, these 2 took away all the attention…

Rayon was speechless. He doesn’t know what’s going on between these 2 Wizard Halls.

On the other hand, Jennie looks at Vincent with interest. Miranda, Aaron, and others were surprised by the development as well.

Much more interesting things are happening. Which are beyond their expectation.

Boo~

At the same time, the booing sound can be heard clearly. The wizard students on the stand are showing displeasure towards Vincent.

The challenge is something to be accepted. But here Vincent threw the towel without hesitation. Which caused people to think. He is a coward.

So the booing sound is increasing.

Inside the staff room,

Carolina is in a state of shock as well. She knew Vincent’s decision. But Mike Curtis’s intention shocked her.

If this duel happens, anything can be done by Mike Curtis. No one can say for sure that Mike Curtis won’t do anything beyond that.

“Vincent was right. He is a troublesome wizard,” Carolina said in her heart.

Meanwhile,

In the majestic dean tower, the old man Dean is looking at the development as well. He wasn’t surprised by Vincent’s decision.

As a dean, he knows more than that of ordinary wizard students. He knows that Mike caused problems earlier. He was aware that Vincent was plotted by him many times.

Those things are impossible to happen without anyone’s instructions. So Vincent’s decision makes sense right now.

He then looks at the referee before sending him a message. Then he looks at the ranking list.

Top-10 Level-5 Wizards

1. Mike Curtis -Taboo Hall.

2. Vincent Carey- Sub-Taboo Hall.

3. Pete – Elemental Hall.

4. Rayon – Mechanical Hall.

5. Jennie – Transformation Hall.

6. Kurtz – Power Hall

7. Aaron – Bloodline Hall.

8. Luxor – Weapon Hall.

9. Miranda -Unique Hall.

10. Lin – Elemental Hall.

Seeing that he understood that the top 5 remained the same. But the bottom places have changed except Miranda’s.

“Next, it’s time for the True Wizard’s duel,” He said in his heart.

On the duel platform,

The referee received the message from the dean. After reading the message, he sighed inwardly. It says that Vincent’s decision can be accepted.

The referee then declared Mike Curtis as the winner.

“Since all of you have used your chance. The current ranking list can be finalized,” The referee said.

Hearing that Mike Curtis unwillingly sat back in his seat. He can’t refute the referee’s words. The referee’s change in expression didn’t go unnoticed in his eyes.

“Looks like higher-ups accepted Vincent’s decision,” He said in his heart.

Then he announced the final list of the level-5 wizards. Now the top 10 ranks are filled. These top 10 wizards are now eligible for future competition as well.

Cheer!

After some booing, the crowd came to a sudden realization and started to cheer. The open challenge competition has opened their eyes.

They get to see the difference in the strength of each wizard’s halls. Next, the top 10 list is shown on the screen.

Seeing the names, the members of different Wizard halls started to cheer.

“The competition is officially over. You guys can leave now,” The referee said before disappearing from the spot.

Seeing that everyone started to leave. But I found that Mike’s gaze is still on me. .

“Are you not giving up yet?” I asked back.

“You are such a turtle. No wonder you have been able to survive so far,” Mike replied in a cold tone before leaving the place.

Hearing that my heart turned cold. I have been staying low-key. It doesn’t mean that I have forgotten the old account.

“If I catch him alone outside, then he will know whether I’m a turtle or not,” I said in my heart.

Then I found that others were still looking at me. After nodding at them. I started walking towards the staff room.

Jennie, Miranda, and others left the place. They have to meet their wizard members as well. When I reached the staff room. I see a lot more people waiting outside.

Carolina is among them as well.
