A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World 460 Let's Go Beat Up The Bad Guys!

"You should go back to kindergarten, little guy; this is not a place for you." Neil cracked his knuckles, and the defined muscles on his arms bulged amid a series of cracks and pops.

"Magus Tower, George Goodyear." George merely introduced himself to Neil in response.

"Neil Barkly." Neil twisted his neck from side to side, and glared at George with a cold expression.

"That's Uppercla.s.sman Neil, a 3rd-tier earth magic caster. I heard that in the last magic caster trials, even Uppercla.s.sman Claus was unable to break through his earth guardian armor!"

"There's such a ma.s.sive difference in stature; I feel like that little guy will be sent flying as soon as he raises his hand."

"Magic is not a compet.i.tion of muscle ma.s.s; that's something that only matters among knights. Among magic casters, spiritual power is of the utmost importance. Only with sufficiently powerful spiritual power can magic casters unleash powerful magic."

The students below the stage all began to discuss spiritedly among themselves. At the same time, the kids of the elementary section were cheering at the top of their lungs.

"Our uppercla.s.smen will win for sure, right?" Daphne clenched his little fists with excitement.

"Not necessarily. I heard from Father that the Magus Tower has gathered the most powerful magic casters on the entire Norland Continent." Ignatsu shook his head. He was clearly a bit more pessimistic about Chaos School's chances.

"If only Amy were here. She would definitely beat these guys with ease." Daphne pursed her lips with a wistful expression as she began to search the crowd for Amy again.

"The contestants are ready, so let the battle begin!" Karpas announced.

"Hehe, I'm going to—" A smirk appeared on Neil's face, and he was just about to say something.

"True meaning of wind, wild wind blade flurry!" George wasn't interested in hearing what Neil had to say. He raised his hands high into the air, and five crescent-moon wind blades shot forth, each of which was around half a meter in length. They flew through the air side by side, creating a long line.

"So fast!" Neil's expression changed slightly, and even though he still appeared to be quite relaxed, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He abruptly pressed his hand against the ground, and yelled, "Earth guardian armor!"

A suit of brown rocky armor crept up along his legs and soon encompa.s.sed his entire body. His burly figure appeared even more imposing after donning the thick rocky armor, and there were spiky rock gloves on both of his hands. His head had also been concealed under a rocky helm, revealing only his eyes. He had transformed into a rock golem.

"Come!" Neil roared as he unleashed a powerful punch.

"Crack!"

The first wind blade was dispelled by his fist, followed by the second, and only two faint marks were left on his rocky gloves.

The remaining three wind blade suddenly changed direction, evading Neil's fists, and striking his chest and neck instead. Three m.u.f.fled thumps erupted in quick succession, and Neil's burly armored figure was forced back three steps. Shards of rock flew through the air, revealing three light indentations, but the wind blades were still unable to break through his armor.

"That's not going to be enough." Neil slammed a fist into his own chest, upon which the indentations in his armor recovered at a rate that was perceptible to the naked eye, returning to its former condition almost instantaneously. As long as his feet were in contact with the ground, he could relentlessly draw upon the power of the earth to repair his armor an unlimited number of times.

"So powerful!"

A burst of cheers erupted, and Neil's teammates were also quite elated to see this. If George couldn't break through Neil's earth guardian armor, then there was a very good chance that the latter would be able to secure victory. If he could get close to George and engage him in battle at close quarters, there was no way the frail young boy would be able to resist.

"Alright, if that's not enough, then I'll just have to step it up a notch." George's brows furrowed at the sight of the smug Neil, and a serious expression appeared on his face. He extended his right hand before abruptly clenching it into a tight fist as he chanted, "Heed my call, elements of wind. Gale pillar, descend!"

What's he doing this time? Neil looked at George with a hint of confusion on his face. However, the doubts in his heart didn't stop him from charging toward George in preparation to end this battle.

"Boom!"

Right at that moment, a tornado with a diameter of around a meter fell from the sky, descending roughly two meters in front of Neil. It then swept toward Neil violently, sending a flurry of violent wind pillars and green wind blades flying into his armor. Cracks instantly began to appear on the ground as dust and debris flew in all directions.

"That's the ultimate spell, the gale pillar! Look out, Neil!" Claus let loose a cry of surprise as he looked at the wind pillar and its origin—the young caster—with an incredulous expression.

Aside from the tier ranking system, there was another hierarchy among magic casters. 1st to 3rd-tier magic casters were elementary magic casters, 4th to 6th-tiers were intermediate magic casters, 7th to 9th-tiers were advanced magic casters, and 10th-tier magic casters were great magic casters.

This hierarchy existed due to the spells that magic casters of each rank could use. Spells were divided into elementary spells, intermediate spells, advanced spells, ultimate spells, forbidden spells, and great forbidden spells. Most magic casters were only able to unleash spells that corresponded to their power levels, but there were some exceptionally talented magic casters that could unleash spells of a higher level. Those magic casters were virtually invincible among magic casters of the same rank, and were super prodigies.

The gale pillar that George had just summoned was an intermediate spell, while George was only a 3rd-tier magic caster.

"He's quite a bright youngster with prospects." Novan was slightly surprised as he looked at George.

Looks like Chaos School is going to lose again. Many teachers heaved sighs internally, and their expressions became quite dejected.

"That's just a wind pillar; watch me smash it with my fist! Giant arm!" Neil wasn't fearful in the slightest as he stepped forward. His right arm instantly expanded to more than twice its original size, and his armored hand came cras.h.i.+ng toward the wind pillar.

Everyone looked on with rapt focus at the scenes transpiring on the platform. The elementary section students had their eyes wide open with their little hands half-raised into the air, preparing to burst into raucous cheers as soon as Uppercla.s.sman Neil crushed the wind pillar and smashed his opponent off the platform.

The ma.s.sive rocky fist struck the wind pillar, upon which a m.u.f.fled thump erupted. However, the wind pillar didn't dissipate as a result. Instead, it enveloped Neil's body, quickly stripping him of his rocky armor.

The gale-force winds were even beginning to sweep him off his feet, which would result in a disastrous situation for him. As soon as his feet lost contact with the ground, he would lose his ability to draw upon the power of the earth. As such, he wouldn't be able to repair his armor, and the battle would be as good as over.

A hint of panic finally appeared on Neil's face, and he struggled as he attempted to unleash a spell.

"Rise!" George raised his hand in a calm manner, and the pillar of wind quickly began to rotate. Neil's burly body was swept into the air like a kite with a snapped line before being thrown off the platform. He landed with a dull thump, and it took him a while to regain his bearings.

Everyone fell completely silent upon seeing that. They were all staring at Neil and George with incredulous looks on their faces.

"You're the one that shouldn't be here." George looked at Neil with a hint of mockery on his face.

"You!!" Rage flared up in Neil's heart, further compounding his dizziness, and causing him to black out on the spot.

…

"Father, does this set of magician robes really look good on me?" At the restaurant's entrance, Amy was dressed in a set of black magician robes, and she looked up at Mag with a serious expression.

"Yes, Little Amy looks super gorgeous in those magician robes. We have to go now. Otherwise, the bad people really will run away soon." Mag nodded with a resigned expression. Amy had been deciding between two sets of magician robes for close to half an hour. As expected, women always took a long time to get ready. Even a little girl like Amy was no different.

"Alright! Let's go beat up those bad people!" Amy's eyes lit up upon hearing that, and she clambered onto the bike as she waved the wand in her hand.
