Chapter 284 Part One: The Final Duel

(From MC's perspective)

Elder John's words made me realize something. I never like to be in a passive position.

To think I underestimated Quinn's family resolve. It was a mistake on my side. So far, I only saw Frank Lambert as an annoying thorn but I neglected Danny Quinn.

But I should have thought it through right after the duel.

"Vincent?" John Meyer called out.

"Hmm," I retracted my thoughts and looked at Elder John.

I said, "Ahem, Elder John. What about Brent Dale's family?"

"Are they strong?"

John Meyers' eyes lit up with surprise. He immediately realized the next potential threat. As far as he knows the Dale family is a little bit weird.

Even the information he has received is not very accurate. He ponders for a second before deciding to closely monitor Dale's family tomorrow.

This was all in his heart but he thought it was not necessary to tell every detail to Vincent Carey. "Don't worry, no one can touch you. The identity of a seed is more beneficial than you can imagine," John Meyer said with assurance.

Hearing that, I nodded my head in understanding. But I sneered inwardly. I feel Brent Dale might be more hypocritical than Danny Quinn.

Otherwise, why would Danny follow Brent Dale?

John Meyers's eyes flicker with light. The dark league organization is giving too much importance to the school kid. Which is exactly because of potential identity. Then he spoke with Vincent for a few more minutes before leaving the house.

...

The following day,

Little Star Gate High School,

Today is the final match day between Vincent Carey and Brent Dale. From the small mage family to regular humans. Everyone is gathering in front of the school.

Unfortunately, apart from the wizard students' families, no one can enter the school. Every other spectator can only watch the big screen outside.

Two hours before the duel. All the big wigs from the school administration entered the school. From staff, teachers, medics and other important people.

Chairman Benjamin walked into the new building block. After entering the room, he glanced around the staff before walking up to the main chair to sit.

Right after, the headmaster Chester Nixon walked inside. Followed by Eric Wallace.

Seeing these two Benjamin's eyes lit up with surprise.

"What do you guys think of the final duel?" Benjamin asked. Though there is still time for the final duel. His eyes shone with expectations.

Class teacher Eric and the headmaster looked at each other. Both smiled helplessly. Because the final duel is going to be unpredictable.

So far Vincent has shown that his gravity magic defies logic. Even the experts don't know the upper limit of the gravity power.

But after the previous duel everyone realized, Vincent can easily defeat a veteran level-2 wizard. So at this point, Eric Wallace let out a bitter laugh by saying, "Chairman, It's really hard to predict the outcome."

The headmaster Chester Nixon nodded as well. But he is more positive about Brent Dale. Unlike others, he already found something amiss with a student named Brent Dale.

Before this, he used his 'inspect' magic power and never gave any strange results. He even thought that kid Brent Dale is using a magic artifact to cover up his information.

Which shows how dangerous that kid is. His eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He doesn't know what the outcome will be. But he hopes there will be no danger to their lives.

On the other hand, Chairman Benjamin heard Eric's words and didn't say anything. But he frowned when he saw an unresponsive attitude from Chester.

Seeing that, he asked, "Headmaster, what is your opinion?"

"Uh!"

Chested Nixon retracted his thoughts and looked at the Chairman. He realized he forgot to greet him. So with a smile on his face, he replied, "Chairman, I just hope both students will be safe after the duel."

"What do you mean?" Benjamin straightened his back and asked.

A quick glint flashed in his eyes. He caught the subtle meaning behind Chester's words. He recalled the previous duel. Where Vincent and Danny Quinn were so close to death.

On the other hand, Chester replied without many expressions on his face, "What would happen? If any one of them failed to control their magic."

"If that happens, there is a possibility of getting crippled."

Chairman Benjamin's expression turned solemn. He failed to recognise this danger. The previous mishap was the best example of this.

Despite severe warnings, that kid Danny used his full spiritual power against Vincent Carey. It was fortunate that both of them were safe after the duel.

But it can't be said that things won't be repeated this time. The more he thinks about it the more he becomes afraid.

Because the background of the two students was no joke. One is the famous Yellow River Academy and the other is a mysterious organization.

The information about the mysterious organization is not known to the majority of the mage world. Even for him, it's hard to access the information.

He only knows that there is a strongman behind Brent Dale. And he also comes from a mysterious organization. He only hopes that there won't be any clashes between these two giants.

For a moment everyone fell silent.

Nobody knows how to find a solution to this. They can only hope students will be sensible enough to not injure each other.

Chairman Benjamin twitched. Considering Danny Quinn's behaviour in the last match, he feels Brent Dale would be no different either.

"Sigh"

He let out a deep sigh before saying, "This is why I had asked you to warn Vincent Carey about this?"

"Now that things have reached this level. There is no turning back. I hope that kid will be sensible once more," Benjamin added further in a solemn tone.

Class teacher Eric sighed inwardly. Only Chester Nixon muttered to himself, "Sub-taboo magic uh?" For him, this is another mystery that couldn't be solved by his inspection magic.

Perhaps he would have unraveled the secrets if his talent was higher.

...

On the other hand, there is also a group of wizard students walking towards the duel arena. They were none other than wizards from the Class A division.

Among those one of them constantly scanned his surroundings. "Where is he?" Lucas Brad muttered to himself. He is looking for Liam Baker who had a feud with Brother Vincent Carey.

But strangely he is not among his classmates. For a moment, fatty Lucas stopped looking everywhere and pondered deeply. "Is he sick? Or what?" He grumbled.

Then he suddenly thought of something and began to look for some other students. Finally, he concluded, "How is it? Apart from Liam, there is no sign of Easton either"

Especially the wizards who had some kind of feud with Brother Vincent previously were nowhere to see. "He....he...he..., so it's real." Lucas Brad busts into laughter.

Next, he waited for Palmer and Timothy to come. He didn't join his classmates.

On the other hand, there is one more person who is eagerly looking for Vincent. He is none other than Frank Lambert.

After arriving at school, he didn't go to the arena, rather he waited in his classroom. He hasn't slept peacefully in these two days. He doesn't know what is going on with the Quinn family.

He had expected them to take cruel revenge on Vincent. Because Danny Quinn ended up in a worse condition than him. Now there is no update about his recovery.

That's why he was surprised by the silent Quinn family. His father also decided to watch Quinn's family's attitude before making a move. Now that Vincent is alive and well. Frank doesn't know what will happen next.

Extreme fear took over his heart. Don't know what happened? After his duel against Vincent, something changed; he really can't see him walking alive.

tap! tap! tap!

When he was lost in thoughts. He heard loud footsteps. He realized someone was coming towards him.

A small frown appeared on Frank's face. Apart from him, no one else was inside this classroom. So who is coming this time?

He got up from his seat and looked at the exit.

A silhouette walked inside the room a couple of seconds later.

Seeing him, Frank's pupil constricts. "What are you doing here?" He exclaimed in fear.

The person who came inside is none other than Brent Dale.

Frank Lambert doesn't know what is going on here.

Brent Dale revealed a sly smile before saying, "He...he...he...."

"Look who is alone here."

Hearing that Frank Lambert trembled a little bit. He might be 4th rank wizard but the person before him is many times scarier than Victoria Shields and Danny Quinn combined.

The atmosphere becomes very grim for a moment.

Frank Lambert knows this person is not here for small chit-chat.

Brent Dale's expression becomes cold the next second.

"I heard you have deep hatred against Vincent," Brent Dale said.

Hearing that Frank Lambert's hand trembled for a moment. Why is he asking about my hatred? His mind was occupied with a lot of questions.

He recalled there is still time left for the final duel. Wait? Is he coming here for Vincent Carey?
