Chapter 18: The Defeated Enemy, Advanced Mage Medal
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“It’s not a forbidden spell yet.”
Soon, some of the powerful-looking mages in the crowd retorted.
“Although that Fellow’s spell is very powerful, to put it bluntly, it’s still far from a forbidden spell!”
“That fireball’s power is only about an intermediate spell, but to be able to create such a large number in an instant, even among advanced mages, is extremely difficult.”
“Oh my god, when did our Rafax City have such a mighty figure?!”
The people in the stands were still chatting with lingering fear.
Meanwhile, Nolan was already extremely upset! Although Andrew did not kill all the people he had brought with him from Faerun City this time, he had at least taken 70-80% of them out in one wave!
‘We have suffered huge losses this time!’
Although Nolan was filled with rage, he was completely unable to move in front of the large number of fireballs that Andrew continuously threw out! He could only use all his strength to support the shield.
Even so, his magical power was rapidly depleting. He knew very well that in a while, he would definitely die! Thus, he could only shout.
“I yield! Sir Fellow, please spare my life.”
Upon hearing this, Andrew stopped creating fireballs.
He was not a bloodthirsty person. The previous wave of attacks that destroyed the entire viewing platform of Faerun City Academy was only because he could not retract his strength for a moment. How could Andrew have thought that the defensive barrier that was said to be able to withstand advanced mages, could not even withstand half a second of his attacks!
Seeing that his opponent had already admitted defeat, he also stopped casting spells. He casually stopped and took a few steps back to the viewing platform.
“Mr. Fellow, all of us owe you one this time!”
Lanza was so excited that he almost cried.
On the other side, there were only a few mages above intermediate level and less than a dozen apprentices left in Faerun City Academy. Nolan led them in the distance, his face flushed red as if he was giving them a fierce lecture. Following that, this group of people started to cry, it was as if their morale had been utterly crushed. Not long after, they left with a dejected look on their faces. It was obvious that not only did they fail to extract any benefits from Rafax City this time, but they had also suffered heavy losses! It was estimated that they would not be able to recover from this within a few decades.
Lanza looked at Andrew.
“Mr. Smith, I’ll go and preside over the proceedings of the Academy’s Grand Competition first.”
His overly respectful attitude made Andrew not know whether to laugh or cry, so he helplessly waved his hand.
“Go! Go!”
As Andrew said this, he closed his eyes and thought about himself. He had gained a lot from this battle. At first, he had thought that this battle with the advanced mages would most likely be a tough one, but in the end, he had won much more easily than he had imagined!
‘Perhaps it was also because the opponent had forcefully used wide-range killing spells, which enable me to neutralize the advanced spell so easily with the blazing sun fireball.’
‘Although the victory this time was beautiful, I still can’t slack off in improving my strength.’
He silently pondered in his heart and blamed himself for his advantage.
The announcement of the final results of the Academy competition and the award ceremony had also begun. Originally, people from the magic associations of the two cities should have taken part, but now, only Lanza from Rafax City was left to host.
He was not embarrassed, because, on the other side, almost all the people from Faerun City had died. The only ones who could come up to receive the award were the students from Rafax City. Lanza was beaming as he handed out awards and cultivation resources to the apprentices and beginner mages who had previously obtained a ranking.
The lowest was two to three thousand moles, which was not a low price. As a beginner mage, his monthly allowance was only three thousand moles.
There were different currencies used by different countries on the Blue Planet. Moles were considered to be a type of currency with a higher value. If one did not purchase anything related to magic, three thousand moles was enough for a family of three to live for a year.
Other than monetary rewards, some special crystals contained magic power, similar to those in the magic crystal training room. However, most of them were the lowest grade fire jade, ice jade, and the like.
Lanza gave a few words of encouragement to each student. When he finally saw Tim, he couldn’t help but praise him.
“Tim, you did a great job for our Academy this time! We can give you three times the scholarship from before!”
“You use the wind and fire elements, right? After this, we will apply for the secret intermediate spell called ‘flame vortex’ for you from the headquarters.”
“Really?”
Tim was also taken aback by this surprise gift.
“Of course, for a talented person like you, Rafax City will do our best to nurture you.”
Although Lanza was trying to curry favor Andrew, there was also a hint of sincerity in his words.
This young man, as Andrew’s successor, was likely to be Rafax City’s highest combat strength in the coming decades or even a hundred years!
…
Andrew took advantage of the award ceremony to take a short break to recover his magic power. After that, he would be very busy when he returned to the Association.
Previously, he had been sitting alone on the rostrum with Lanza, but after he returned, a large group of mages immediately surrounded him.
“Mr. Fellow! What exactly is your strength? An advanced mage or a great mage!”
“That Nolan is no match for you! You’re too strong!”
“When did you join our Association? I feel that even when the President was around, he wasn’t as impressive as you!”
“Right! Mr. Fellow, aren’t you also not far away from becoming a great mage?”
Andrew looked at this group of people who leaned towards him one by one. Suddenly, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The more they guessed, the more ridiculous it became!
‘What? Great mage? I haven’t even become an intermediate mage for long!’
As he was thinking, Lanza rushed over from the other side.
“Alright! Alright! Alright! Move! Move! Don’t cause trouble for Mr. Smith!”
He said solemnly.
“Mr. Smith, since you’ve become an intermediate mage, it’s time to give this to you. This is an advanced mage medal.”
He handed over an extremely exquisite piece of handicraft. Three fire diamonds were inlaid beneath the flame-like patterns. The fire diamonds could aid in magic cultivation and be rather expensive. Now, they were only used as decorations, Andrew estimated that the little thing in his hand was probably worth thousands of moles.
“Mm, you’re too kind.”
Andrew casually accepted it. The advanced mage’s allowance was, even more, so he had no reason to refuse.
Then, seeing that he was about to leave, Lanza gritted his teeth and chased after him.
“That…Mr. Smith, our Association doesn’t have many resources. Since you’ve advanced to an advanced mage and as a Fellow, we’ll have to increase your benefits. How about this, in the future, you can use the magic crystal training room as you please! There’s no need for any declaration!”
“What do you think?”
Lanza felt that he had to rope in Andrew based on the current situation in Rafax City! Hence, he gritted his teeth and determined to rope in Andrew at any cost!
Andrew revealed a strange smile upon hearing this.
“Remember, you said it yourself.”
