Chapter 15: There’s Still Me!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment Keaton stood up, all the freshmen turned to look at him.

Everyone held their breath and waited for him to step onto Stage No. 1.

Audrey, who was watching from her seat, didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Her eyes were following closely behind Keaton, unwilling to miss out on any details.

The audience was not far from the dueling platform. Soon, Keaton reached the register and wrote his name on it.

“Friend, I think it’s better if you don’t go up. If even Luzion can’t beat him, it’s even more impossible for you.”

“That’s right. We were prepared to fight him in turns, but he finished Luzion in one move. We don’t dare to go up now.”

“Let’s go back, friend. When we have strength in the future, we can challenge him again.”

“That’s right, that’s right. If you don’t have the strength to support yourself, courage will just be seen as foolishness.”

…

Near the registration area, the students watching began to urge Keaton to back off.

Karlot, who was standing on Duel Stage No. 1, also saw this scene.

He felt that this was the most glorious moment of his life. He could not allow this brat to ruin it.

Thus, he assumed that flirty and cringy posture again and roared out with all his might.

“Who else is there?!”

This roar was filled with disdain and arrogance.

All the freshmen present could not help but lower their heads. Only Karlot stared coldly at Karlot on stage 1.

“There’s still me.”

Keaton’s voice was very soft, but as soon as he finished speaking, it was as if thunder had boomed near Duel Stage 1.

“Good!”

“This student has guts. He’s indeed worthy of being our batch’s student.”

“I don’t know who you are, but please teach that Karlot a lesson.”

“Right, we can’t let him continue being arrogant.”

“His name is Keaton. He’s a student of the first grade’s Class 3. Please cheer for him.”

At this moment, Audrey, who was standing in the audience, took out a magic loudspeaker and loudly told the new students Keaton’s name.

“All the best, Keaton!”

“All the best, Keaton!”

…

Hot tears streaked across Audrey’s cheeks and dripped onto the ground of the audience.

After witnessing Karlot’s combat strength, Audrey believed from the bottom of her heart that it was impossible for Keaton to defeat Karlot.

Even if they had undergone Azula’s devilish training.

Even if Keaton had already become a Beginner Mage and could use summoning magic.

However, the Keaton who had just advanced to Rank 2, was definitely no match for Karlot.

Not only that, he was even inferior to Luzion, who had walked onto the dueling platform earlier.

Aren’t you a person that likes to calculate the pros and cons? Why do you still want to go up?

Keaton, you are an idiot!

As Audrey wiped her tears, she cursed Keaton for being stupid and naive.

…

On the dueling platform.

“Tell me your name, boy. My magic doesn’t hit nameless people.”

Karlot said coldly as he stood with his arms folded.

Karlot did not speak, and only shot Karlot a bland look before he summoned the Centaur Lady.

“You’re a summoner. No wonder you’re so confident that you can fight me on the arena.”

There was now a trace of seriousness in Karlot’s eyes.

The magic world had an axiom that had existed for thousands of years.

Amongst those of the same rank, Summoners would always be undefeated.

“This Keaton is actually a summoning mage. Oh my God.”

“Summoning Mages are invincible among those of the same level. We have a chance to get rid of this Karlot.”

“Summoning Mages are awesome, Keaton is awesome.”

Seeing the Centaur Lady that Kedan had summoned, the freshmen in the audience began to cry out in surprise.

“So what if you’re a Summoning Mage? So what if you’re invincible among your peers?”

“My husband is a Rank 3 Mage, an Intermediate Mage. He’s an entire level higher than your Summoning Mage. How can he compare to my husband?”

In the audience, that female student stood up again and said something that made everyone feel disgusted.

“I’ll make a bet with you. I bet that within ten seconds, that Keaton will be knocked off the dueling platform by my husband.”

As soon as the female student finished speaking, Keaton, who was on the dueling platform, seemed to have heard her. He casually summoned a black warrior wearing armor.

The female student looked at the dueling platform in surprise. Her eyes were filled with shock, and her mouth was agape for a long time, unable to speak.

“Double summoning, it’s actually a double summoning!”

“If an ordinary Summoner can’t beat Karlot, then a Summoner who has mastered double summoning can definitely defeat Karlot.”

“That’s right. The ability to perform double summoning is the most powerful skill in the first three ranks of a Summoner Mage.”

“Did you guys notice? That Centaur seems to be a long-range one while this Black Warrior is a close-combat one. This Summoning Mage’s battle strategy is very clear.”

…

Audrey’s tears came to an abrupt halt when she heard the bustling noises.

Keaton, you dog, how dare you lie to me!

Why didn’t you tell me that you can summon two summoned creatures at the same time? You made me worry for you!

Hmph, when you come back, I will ignore you for three days.

Audrey, who had been deceived, swore a venomous oath in her heart. She decided that no matter how Kedan coaxed her later, she would ignore him.

However, just moments after Audrey made up her mind, she was once again stunned by Kedan.

On the dueling platform.

Before Keaton appeared another Black Warrior, clad in a black cloak.

The steel blade in the Black Warrior’s hand was shining brightly. The dazzling sunlight was reflected by the snow-white blade and shone into the eyes of all the new students in the audience.

“Did I see wrongly? He actually summoned two Black Warriors.”

“Could he be the man who summoned the two Black Warriors at the start of school?”

“It looks like him. Black Warriors with such a domineering presence, who else could it be?”

Audrey looked at Keaton in a daze as she muttered to herself.

“Triple summon, Keaton. When did you learn the Triple summon?”

Recalling the mysterious student who summoned the two Black Warriors at the beginning of the school year, a fantasy that would not look out of place in the Arabian Nights appeared in Audrey’s mind.

Keaton, after this fight, you had better give me an explanation or I will not let you go.

…

On the dueling platform.

Karlot stared blankly at the three summoned creatures in front of Keaton, especially the two black warriors with shining steel blades.

A Rank 2 mage had master triple summoning. This was f*cking nonsensical!

Despite his thoughts, Karlot had no intention of backing down.

If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move. I’ll keep wasting time with him… Karlot thought to himself.

However, at this moment, Keaton, who had originally been standing silently in front of him, spoke his first sentence.

“Make a choice. First option, you scram by yourself. Second option, I’ll beat you off this stage.”
