Chapter 26: Shocking LauraLaura’s body exploded with a loud sound as mana gushed out of her body like a powerful wave, causing her clothes and hair to flutter violently while the powerful Shockwave sent sand and dust flying in all directions. Those around them, including the two guards, had to protect their eyes by covering their faces with this hand. Laura’s action had attracted the attention of everyone in the theme park and they all stopped to see what was happening. "Look, look, it’s a mage!" A little boy who was holding onto his mother’s hand pointed at Laura and screamed excitedly with sparkling eyes, it was rare to see mages displaying their might in public. Many people were also discussing the matter as they looked at the scene in front of them. Laura ignored everything that was going on around her, her eyes moved to her sister’s motionless body before returning to Alex’s face; she was so angry that she wanted to burn his face. As a mage at the high stage of the Adept rank, she was very capable of doing such. "I gave you a chance, but you didn’t value it. Don’t think I’ll let you go just because we’re classmates; I tolerated you enough In the academy!" Laura spat coldly as blazing red stars began to appear behind her. Emily was scared out of her wits as she witnessed this sight and could not help but turn to her brother; she had long dropped the two cotton candies after this fierce-looking lady with red hair exploded with mana; she wanted to run away with her brother. "Brother, let’s run!" Emily urged in panic but Alex didn’t move. His face was calm as he watched Laura form a single-star pattern; only a single word came to his mind as he watched. "Slow," ....

The next moment, Alex exploded with mana as well. He had activated the skill of the system that allowed him to show a fake level of strength and hide his real strength. Unlike the pendant of deterrence, the aura meter only allowed Alex to display a fake rank that was weaker than his actual rank. Since he was a core mage, the skill automatically set to the Adept rank. So when Alex exploded with mana, the pressure of an adept mage spread out from his body but his mana wasn’t as powerful as Laura’s. This was because Emily was right next to him, he didn’t want to hurt his sister by accident. However, this action was mistaken by Laura and she thought that Alex was weaker than her despite being in the Adept rank as well. After all, the sub-stages were what differentiated mages of the same rank. But her eyes widened the next moment as a realization struck her like cold lightning. ’Wait, how’s this possible? Wasn’t he still at the apprentice mage rank? How is he at the Adept rank now?!’ Laura was so shocked that she lost focus for a moment. The loss of focus while connecting one’s stars was the same as shooting oneself in the foot while loading one’s gun; it was disastrous! After being shocked by Alex’s sudden increase in strength, Laura lost control of the stars behind her, and this caused her almost-formed star to collapse. A wicked backlash struck her soul sea and caused her mana to become chaotic. Laura’s eyes widened as she bent over and spat out blood while clutching her chest in pain. "Mom, look look, two mages!" The kid from earlier screamed excitedly again while pointing at Alex. Laura forcefully raised her head while enduring the pain in her soul sea; she saw Alex standing tall behind Emily with his eyes glowing with a silver-white light while his right hand was stretched toward her. "How does it feel to be in such a position?" Alex’s cold voice rang in her ears, stars began to appear behind him rapidly and connected into a star pattern at a speed that shocked her once again. ’So fast!’ Laura exclaimed inwardly, she couldn’t react if Alex used a spell now. "Hey brat, don’t hurt the young lady!" At this moment, a loud voice rang from the side. It was one of Laura’s guards. The two of them were rushing toward Alex with blunt weapons in their hands. Emily was frightened by this but Alex remained expressionless. "Didn’t anyone tell you that you shouldn’t charge at a mage if you value your life?" Alex snarled before turning his gaze on the two men. Their speed was slightly faster than normal people but it was nothing in front of Alex. "Telekinesis," Alex chanted before suddenly waving his hand to the side. An invisible palm suddenly slapped the two guards and sent them flying to the side like ragged dolls. They crashed into the ground and rolled for a few meters on the sand before coming to a stop. Their bodies were trembling; they didn’t pass out but were in a lot of pain. They felt like they had been hit by a speeding vehicle. This scene Shocked everyone who was watching. The young boy had dealt with two full-grown men with just a casual wave of his hand. Mages were really the upgraded version of humans. Emily was shocked as well and she turned to look at her brother’s face, her eyes glowing like a kid watching pretty stars. ’Big brother is so powerful!’ she thought absentmindedly. Alex noticed Emily’s gaze and was inwardly pleased, the feeling of showing off in front of his junior sister was almost as thrilling as when he broke through for the first time. After enjoying the feeling of being idolised by his little sister for a bit, Alex returned his gaze to Laura and his expression turned cold again. He once again raised his hand and pointed at her. But before he could summon his stars this time, a powerful voice sounded from above. "Usage of magic is prohibited on the premises; withdraw your mana or face the consequence!" The voice was so loud that everyone in the theme park heard it. They all looked up and saw a man in a blue robe standing on the back of a huge bird. A glowing mark could be seen on the forehead of the bird. Alex’s eyes flashed at the sight of the bird. ’A mage with the summoning element!’ The appearance of the mage stunned everyone, Alex checked and saw that this person was a core mage, just like him. As for the bird, it was only a common rank magic beast that had been summoned by the mage.@ Alex believed that he would win if he was to fight this person; after all, a summoner’s strength was their summons. ’But there’s no need for that, he probably belongs to the union.’ Alex said to himself before withdrawing his mana and lowering his hand. "Let’s go, Emily," Alex voiced out before turning around. Emily nodded in surprise and quickly followed him; she would occasionally turn around and glance at the red-haired girl and her people. After Alex and his sister left, the mage who had stopped Alex controlled the bird to descend and he jumped off. He approached Laura to check her condition. "Kids these days, causing trouble just because they can use some spells." He grumbled as he approached the red-haired girl on the ground. Stopping in front of her, he crunched and placed a hand on Laura’s shoulder. "Are you alright, kid?" he asked casually, not really concerned about Laura’s condition. Laura slowly raised her head to look at him, and the Mage’s eyes widened when he saw Laura’s face; he recognised her. Thinking of the red-haired kid who had hurt Laura and her guards, he couldn’t help but shake his head. "That kid...I hope he has a strong backing," he sighed softly
