Chapter 9: Duel with Bru

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

While the audience was discussing, Master Camet led Lorne up to the stage.

Because of his status, he would usually choose who to take in as his disciple first.

“Hello, students. I know everyone is curious about who this person beside me is. He’s my new disciple. His name is Lorne.”

Camet introduced solemnly. The students below the stage exploded. They were still discussing.

Which genius had become Master Camet’s apprentice? No one had expected it.

They were actually intercepted by a dark horse. Their understanding of Lorne was that he was just an ordinary classmate.

Because there was no third person who knew about Lorne’s talent other than Camet and Romon.

At that moment, Bru stood up and pointed at Lorne.

“Master Camet, how can such a loose person become your disciple while we who work so hard can only be your student?”

Faced with Bru’s questioning, Camet wanted to expose Lorne’s talent.

However, if such a strong talent was exposed, it would spread out and Lorne might be targeted by the Dark Sorcerers.

This would be detrimental to Lorne’s future development. If he only used his talent to suppress others, the other geniuses would not be convinced because the geniuses of the Magic Academy more or less had their own pride.

At this moment, Bru spoke again. “Master Camet, I request to duel with Lorne. If I defeat him, I hope you can choose your disciple carefully.”

It was a good thing that Bru had said. He hadn’t said anything about letting Camet take him in.

Instead, he wanted him to choose again. If he said he would defeat Lorne and accept him as his disciple.

And if Lorne was really appreciated by Master Camet because he got in through the back door.

He had defeated Lorne and the final benefits were all his.

However, it was different when it was time for him to choose again. This way, he would not only gain favorability from his classmates.

It would show his magnanimity and the other students would naturally support him.

As he imagined, his classmates began to support him.

“Duel!”

“Duel!”

As the crowd roared, Camet raised his hand to silence them.

Then, he stroked his sparse beard and said with a smile,

“Since everyone wants to watch the duel so much, I’ll especially allow Lorne and Bru to fight!”

Seeing that Camet had allowed it, the people below began to cheer and the happiest of them all was Bru.

After all, if he won, he would be able to get into Master Camet’s sight. If Master Camet saw his performance, he might take him in.

He could already see himself becoming a great sorcerer after defeating Lorne and becoming a great sorcerer under the guidance of Master Camet.

Seeing his happy expression, Lorne was puzzled. Could it be that this person in front of him was also a very strong genius?

Otherwise, why would Master Camet agree? It seems that I will have to use my full strength when I come up later.

Lorne thought to himself as Master Camet, who had finished his speech, came up beside him.

Quietly, he said to him, “Lorne, remember to guard against water in a while. Bru is no match for you. Be careful not to kill him.”

Upon hearing Master Camet’s instructions, Lorne was stunned. Didn’t you agree because he was very strong?

Now it was Lorne’s turn to wonder but then he realized that maybe Master Camet didn’t want to expose his talent either.

After all, this world wasn’t really safe. It seemed like he would still have to act like one.

If he were to crush him, he might attract the attention of the Dark Forces.

They loved hunting talented newbie mages.

“Now that Master Camet has agreed, let’s get Bru on stage. It’s time to watch their match.”

With that, the host let Bru take the stage and Lorne walked over.

“Lorne, you’d better be careful. I can already summon a Magic Shield.”

Lorne didn’t say anything, just nodded expressionlessly.

It was just a Magic Shield, he was already familiar with it, only if he really knew this unique skill.

Lorne said in a friendly tone, “Then go all out.”

Lorne’s friendly reminder sounded like contempt to Bru.

“Damn it, this brat actually dared to look down on me. Today, I will definitely make you suffer.”

Bru thought to himself as he started chanting the Magic Shield incantation.

On the other side, Lorne was waiting. Everyone saw that he was not prepared to recite any spells.

They were all laughing at him. “I’m dying of laughter. Lorne is too weak. He didn’t even learn magic?”

“Is he using the back door? He can’t even chant magic. Looks like Bru will win.”

After three minutes, Bru finally released his Magic Shield.

Bru’s Magic Shield did not look sturdy and the magic energy was not obvious.

But to newbies, this was already considered a genius level.

Seeing that he had summoned a Magic Shield, everyone was shocked.

Though he was mentally prepared, he didn’t expect Bru’s Magic Shield to reach 0.5.

Bru ordered his Magic Shield to attack Lorne while Lorne summoned his Magic Shield.

When Lorne’s Magic Shield was summoned, everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Lorne’s Magic Shield was more solid than Bru’s.

His Magic Shield was like the sun, while Bru’s Magic Shield was like a small candle.

It could even be described as a firefly. Before Bru’s Magic Shield hit Lorne’s Magic Shield, it was shattered.

In contrast, Lorne’s Magic Shield charged towards Bru. Bru looked at the Magic Shield flying towards him.

Frightened, he collapsed to the ground. Just as the Magic Shield was about to hit Bru and Camet was about to attack.

Lorne controlled his Magic Shield and made it disappear which shocked the audience.

Was this Master Camet’s disciple? He was actually so strong. He had only been in school for a week.

To be able to control a Magic Shield to such an extent was simply unimaginable to them.

Camet was pleased to see this. Lorne was still the same Lorne.

A genius who wouldn’t be proud and complacent because of his talent. Which teacher wouldn’t like such a disciple?

Bru opened his eyes and the Magic Shield that was about to hit disappeared.

Instead, it was Lorne’s winning smile but what Bru didn’t know was that

Lorne wasn’t smiling because he’d defeated him but because of the prompt in his head..
