Little Star Gate High School, "Impossible," Liam got up from his seat. How could the duel be over in a matter of seconds? Even after watching the replay scenes, he felt unreal. Not only he, but others with similar hostile attitudes were also stunned in disbelief. Even for them, it will take at least a few minutes to defeat the opponent. But ending the opponent in one move, which is something that they hadn't thought of as a possibility. A few people who received a text message from Frank Lambert began to have doubts. While others were still hopeful that Vincent will be defeated in upcoming duels. Victoria's beautiful eyes gleamed with interest. "This?" She was speechless for a moment. She saw the replay and noticed some differences. "Vincent has good speed," She said in her heart. Earlier she hadn't thought of him. But right now her interest was further piqued in her heart. "As expected he is not simple. Apart from sub-taboo magic, there is something more to him," She said to herself, looking at the fighting stage. "Waste," Frank grumbled. Frank Lambert's expression was ugly. Unlike others, he believed Vincent's opponent was weak. So he still has some trust in his classmates that they will defeat Vincent Carey. Brent Dale and Danny Quinn were expressionless. This duel was not enough to pique their curiosity. At the same time, Judy Owens and Eric Marsh looked at each other. Judy Owens's heart was not calm. She expected Vincent to win. But everything went beyond her expectations. Looking at the person exiting the fighting stage, "He is extremely strong," She sighed to herself. Eric Marsh was dumbfounded. He immediately changed his view about Vincent Carey. Because he noticed Vincent didn't use his magic powers at all. The duel was won by using pure body strength. Vincent's physique attributes were scary. After a long time, he broke out in a cold sweat. This time he was abrupt in judging someone. Then he saw Judy's reaction. He was glad that she didn't bring up the previous topic in conversation. Brian Carey was extremely quiet. "I knew it. He has been faking it for so long," Brian said to himself. After watching the replay scenes, his thoughts became clear. He didn't doubt his brother's strength anymore. At home, his younger brother used to say that he is just a beginner. But after having a few sparring sessions with him. Brian doubted that Vincent was hiding his power. But right now everything became clear. Looking at his younger brother, Brian revealed a bitter smile on his face. "Looks like I have to rely on him in future," Brian sighed to himself. On the other hand, Lucas Brad is laughing, "Ha....Ha....Ha...." "Brother Vincent has become stronger than before," he muttered to himself. Palmer and Timothy were petrified. The outcome of the duel made their mind blank. They were worried unnecessarily. If they had known Vincent's true strength, they would have talked back to Kenny Sutton. But still, they were satisfied with the current outcome. Hereafter, it is doubtful that Kenny would mess with them. Finally, a wide smile blossomed on Palmer's face. After realization, his fear was swept away immediately. He recovered himself. Timothy also regained some confidence. Inside the new viewing block, "Brilliant," Chairman Benjamin commented after the announcement of the winner. He immediately recalled the force behind Vincent Carey. Now he understands why they had gone such a length for a school kid. "This brat has a bright future ahead of him," Chairman Benjamin thought to himself. Eric Wallace widened his eyes in surprise. Chester Nixon revealed a small smile on his face. After the duel, there was uproar among the wizard students. This was the first duel after the start of the year-end competition which was over in a couple of seconds. The media houses have found their next dark horse. This time Vincent Carey's news will trend online. ... (From MC's perspective) After exiting the duel stage, I went back to my seat. I saw a myriad of expressions from my classmates. Seeing that I laughed in my heart. This was nothing. I don't know. What will they do if I reveal my gravity power? A curiosity rose in my heart. But still, I expressed my calmness. Normally, a duel would take at least 15 minutes on average to finish. Since my duel was over in a couple of seconds. I have this feeling that the final winner of the competition will be decided today. When I'm pondering, the next announcement was made. Hereafter the match-up will be random. The duel between the top 10 wizards. I don't know. Who's the name that will come up next? Everyone stared at the big screen. [Frank Lambert vs Liam Baker] When I saw the name, I laughed out loud. "Ha...Ha...Ha..." "This is fun," I uttered in surprise. Frank Lambert who was observing Vincent a couple of seconds ago was pissed off after hearing the laughter. He was too surprised by the match-up. It is a little bit unexpected. But he calmed down next. This is something normal in a random match-up. But when he saw the face of the person who laughed. His face becomes distorted. His heart is boiling in anger. He felt Vincent Carey was mocking him. Liam Baker's expression has become like he has eaten a sh!t. He thought about doing a splendid performance, but right now he felt uncomfortable. After seeing Vincent laughing, he almost choked himself. Frank Lambert and Liam Baker stood in the same place for a second. This immediately attracted everyone's attention. Victoria Shields saw the troubled expression of Frank Lambert for the first time. Seeing that she revealed an amusing smile on her face. Unlike other class divisions, the wizards from class A1 knew what was going on. Seeing that two of them were wasting time. The announcement was made again. Right after, Frank Lambert and Liam Baker walked to the stage. At the same time, I finally stopped laughing after hearing the announcement. "Damn, the twist and turn in this competition is very intriguing," I muttered to myself. I saw Frank Lambert look at me before walking towards the fighting stage. I didn't mind his gaze at all. I'm more interested in seeing the outcome of the duel. I don't know what he will do. If my assumption is correct, Liam will accept defeat. ... The duel stage, When the crowd broke out in loud cheers. Frank Lambert recovered to his usual self. His expression was not gloomy as before. On the other hand, Liam Baker is sweating even before the start of the duel. "It's better to admit defeat," Liam sighed to himself. He has no idea what the madman will do. He had no good relationship with Frank Lambert previously. Who knows? Frank might take his anger on him. Thinking that he broke out in cold sweat. After entering inside, both of them stood opposite each other. When the silver barrier is beginning to envelop. Frank Lambert's mind is occupied with something else. The replay of the previous duel comes to his mind. Thinking about the duel being over in a couple of seconds. A good idea struck his mind. He thought about doing the same thing. He decided to end the duel even faster. After gaining some clarity, he cracked a wide grin on his face. On the other hand, Liam Baker shuddered. Looking at the sly smile on Frank's face, Liam has a bad premonition in his heart. After the silver barrier was enveloped. The duel started. Seeing the troubling face of Liam, Frank's expression turned a bit solemn. He immediately dashed toward the opponent. He saw through Liam's mood. He is not going to let that happen. Liam Baker's pupils constrict. The next second, he let out a huge roar, "I admit defeat." His voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the arena. Frank Lambert abruptly stopped his movements. He revealed a gloomy expression on his face. "Coward," He mocked Liam Baker. The coward spoiled his plan completely. Outside, The outcome immediately stunned everyone. Another unexpected result. But this time the majority of the crowd was not satisfied with the result. Because they had not expected such a result from the elite class wizard. At least there should be some fighting intention. Even Kenny Sutton was way better than Liam Baker in this aspect. The expression of the wizards from Class A1 is a bit unsightly. Everyone understands the combat strength of Frank Lambert. Everyone knows it's a bit unreasonable to expect Liam Baker to win. But considering the image of their class, he should have shown some fighting intent. But unfortunately, it can't be done anymore. When the silver barrier came down. Liam Baker heard the booing sound from the crowd. He felt his face burning. He is totally ashamed. When the winner was announced. Frank Lambert gave a cold snort before exiting the stage. Liam Baker clenched his fist in anger. The image of Vincent Carey comes to his mind. He recalled Vincent's laughing at him before the duel. "He must be enjoying my defeat," Liam said to himself. "Don't worry, I will pay everything back to you during our duel," He promised himself. The next second, he exited the stage amidst the burning gazes of the crowd.
