The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 280: Announcing the Tournament

Chapter 280: Announcing the Tournament

The duel begun, and I'm totally not interested. Especially since I know who will be the winner. But since she's my disciple, I'll just watch her fight and evaluate it later if needed.

I'm not really a proper mage according to the common sense of this world. So, if it's a magic battle, there are many other people who are better at evaluating how Jewel fights. But I still need to have some dignity as her master.

…to h.e.l.l with dignity. She fights, she won, and that's good. For me, result is everything. The process, as long as it doesn't hurt yourself or other people important to you, it doesn't matter.

Her opponent makes the first move. That Mason started with a fire magic.

Hmm? Is that even a fire magic? I know I shouldn't compare it with Angela, but even the first time that she casted a fireball, back when we just became a party just the two of us, her fireball is already bigger than that. And she's just a beginner level who hasn't learned magic control yet.

And yet this guy, he seriously thinks that he's worthy to be accepted? And he's shamelessly agreed to a duel with that weak magic and just supported with a magic robe to protect himself?

Well, at least he will be a good laugh for everyone here. And those who are in the similar level as that Mason will be glad to not act like he did and embarra.s.s themselves.

For now, let's see how Jewel reacts.

Jewel easily dodged the weak magic but she still didn't make other moves. She's just standing there and watching the opponent. And she has the dissatisfied expression knowing that her opponent is too weak and won't be enough for her to get stronger.

If it was me, I have many ways to embarra.s.s him in public. But it's Jewel's moment. And she's not like me who will go out of her way to embarra.s.s her opponent, and kill him at a later date while no one is around.

Whoa, that makes me sound really evil. Well, anyone who becomes a burden to me have to die. That's what I decided. Either I have to face them directly, or waiting until I have the chance. Though I mostly did the waiting since I don't dare to go face the enemies unless I know that they are weaker than me.

But… lately, I faced the enemies more often than waiting. I guess I have changed. It's the change that I don't want. Let's stick to being a coward again from now on.

The opponent keeps casting Fireball, and Wind Slash at Jewel. But they were all easily dodged by her. And this… makes the audience bored. Even some of the audience, who is just beginner level mage and not a hunter, are able to do what Mason did. So, they are disappointed to see the level of his performance. To think that someone this weak is complaining about not getting accepted. That's just ridiculous.

Seeing the audience, Jewel looked around and finds me. She's asking with her eyes if she can just finish her opponent quickly.

I nodded at her and she returns her gaze toward the enemy.

Jewel transformed into a rhino. Not the hybrid transformation, but the full transformation.

Her transformation shocked everyone since no one would have thought to transform into a rhinoceros. Most Beastform mages would transform into a flying animal. And transforming into a land animal is considered stupid.

But not for Jewel. She considered the rhino's thick skin to be very useful and that's how she decided to transform into a rhinoceros.

And not just that. While she's in her rhinoceros form, she casted a lightning magic as well. It's one of the most useless magic according to common sense of this world, Lightning Armor.

It's considered as useless because no one fights close quarter combat.

Lightning mage can cast this magic after they reached intermediate level. But no one would think of using it.

And now, everyone will watch how a body clad in lightning is very useful in a fight. A rhinoceros body though.

Kayla charged toward Mason while ignoring all his magic despite being hit. She's already much stronger than a normal rhinoceros…

When she gets close to Mason, Mason finally stepped aside to not get hit. But he was too late.

Even though Jewel missed him, her lightning clad body gave a shock to Mason.

"Aaaaaah!!"

"YOU'RE STUPID IF YOU THINK DODGING ME THAT SLOW WILL SAVE YOU!"

Why does she have to shout whenever she's transformed? Was it because rhino is a loud animal? I don't know that. I have never encountered a rhino before. I don't even know if rhinos still exist or not. For animal to survive in the wild, they have to be able to fight against monsters. That's why I'm doubtful if they are still exist. Most people only ever seen rhino from picture books. If they still exist, that mean the place they live in must be far from any monsters and very safe. I want to go there someday.

Mason got slightly paralyzed, and this time, he can't dodge Jewel's next charge.

This time, the audiences' excitement is at its peak. It's their first time seeing someone uses Lightning armor like she did. And they can't wait for her to hit Mason.

"Ah! Wait! I giv-"

Before Mason finished his sentence, Jewel already hit him. She didn't strike him with her horn, but she lowered her head so her horn is in between his legs. Then, using her neck, she lifted him up and throws him to the audience seat.

"Aaaaaa!!"

Mason flew beautifully in an arc toward… my location. No, it's near me where Mapapa is.

Well, the duel is over. I should do my part now.

Mason crashed toward Mapapa, and that annoying fire magic professor. They are sitting next to each other after all. And there's no way they can use magic to stop his crash. He's Mapapa beloved son.

Only this area worried about Mason's condition and Mapapa's. the other areas shouted for Jewel's victory.

"The winner is Jewel!" Wendy announced.

Let's wait for a while until the people calmed down.

I approached Mapapa, annoying fire magic professor, and Mason in between them.

"Don't move or I kill you. Before any of you decide to do or say anything stupid, listen to Dean's announcement soon."

On the sitting fire magic professor and Mapapa, I put my hands on their shoulder as if I'm their good friend. But I'm holding a Blobbyknife on each hand as I threatened them while placing them on their necks.

"Do you know who you're threatening? You won't be able to leave this place alive." Mapapa said.

I also see some people who I presumed to be his bodyguard about to attack me. But they are wary of the knives pressing on Mapapa's neck. As for the fire magic professor, no one cares about him.

"Believe me I will still alive. As for you, even if I kill you, it won't be a crime. Now, listen." I said.

We see Dean raise from his seat, and about to say something.

"Congratulation, Jewel. You are worthy to be a student here. As for Mason, as promised, you will have to leave. More importantly, I have an announcement to make. It's about College Battle Tournament!" Dean announced.

Everyone is confused about what he said. As for me, I'm curious why the name is so simple. Was it Albert who suggested the name? So that I can remember the name of the tournament?

"I know all of you are confused so I will explain. This is a tournament between all the colleges in Tatrama Kingdom! Several students from each college will be selected to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament. This is the first time a tournament will be held! And we can finally know which college is the best among all the college in this kingdom!"

""WHOOOOAAAAA!!""

The audience got even more excited from the announcement.

"I have proposed it to his majesty King Albert, and he agreed for us to held the first Battle Tournament! And we will prepare a reward for the strongest team! Does our college have what it takes to be the strongest?!" Dean asked.

""OOOOOOOO!!""

"Good! I deliberately let these two duels, so you can experience what kind of fight that will happen in the tournament. But that was slightly disappointing because one side is too weak. But you did really great, Jewel. I'm proud to say that you're our student."

Oh, Jewel's face is so red right now. She's embarra.s.sed. That's my cute student you're praising, Dean.

"There is a reason why his majesty agreed to my plan. It's because of the Evil Cult. Many people must have heard, or even involved in the Stampedes that happens two years ago. And it was that Evil Cult who did it. His majesty said that we need something that will motivate everyone to get stronger. Which is this tournament! Not just it will tell which college is the strongest, it will also tell who is the strongest student! With that in mind, I wish that only the strongest one will partic.i.p.ate. To do that, those who are willing to partic.i.p.ate will fight like what you see before to decide who will partic.i.p.ate. The rule of the tournament will be decided at a later date, but we can still decide who is the top mages among you. The detail will be explained later. Let's aim to be the strongest!"

I heard a lot of chatters. Some regretted that they didn't choose to attend college, some regretted that they have already graduated, and obviously, the students are excited.

As for me…

"You heard that? Dean has made a direct contact with the king. And because of his majesty, I was asked to teach here. Both Dean, I, and some other people, have direct connection with his majesty. If you want to use your status, I will use his. If you do anything that will cause hindrances for the tournament, like bribing your way in to let your weak-a.s.s son to be accepted, or do anything that cause me trouble, I can kill you. And it won't be considered a crime. Are you still trying to act tough?"

The two shook their heads. As for Mason in the middle, he's sweating bucket. I don't care about his injuries. He can just die. That's a terrible thing to say as a doctor.

"Good. I have memorized your faces. If something happened, it will be your fault. Don't ever cause me trouble again. The one this b.a.s.t.a.r.d tried to flirt with is my girlfriend. And I won't forget it."

I released the two and leaves the arena. There's nothing else for me to do.

As for Mapapa, he hurriedly told his people to leave this city. And that fire magic professor, he's thinking of quitting. At least Wendy won't have any problem with that guy anymore.

Now, with the tournament announced, I don't think there will be many air mages who wanted to take my cla.s.s. They will choose other cla.s.ses and use their spare time to practice. Though I still need to give lecture at least once a week.

Sigh… school will start next week. I have put my schedule to only teach in Monday. And then I need to arrange some time to teach the doctors about medical treatments. I'm so busy.
