Chapter 382 Who Do You Want To Win?

?“People say that when you meet a Wizard or Witch who perfectly counters your primary element, you will have a great disadvantage over them,” Professor Lionel, the Combat Instructor of the First Years, said. “This is only half true.

“While it is a fact that users of certain elements find themselves in a disadvantageous position when facing someone who wields an element that they are weak against, victory and defeat cannot be decided just because of that.”

Professor Lionel then grinned as he scanned the faces of the students looking back at him.

“Today’s lesson is a battle of the elements,” Professor Lionel stated. “I will pair you to fight with each other, and you are only allowed to use the element you are proficient in. When I call your names, come up here into the arena.”

Professor Lionel then looked at his students with a mischievous smile on his face before he called out two names to duel in the arena.

“Well then, let’s call upon the first two contestants. They have joined some tournaments in the past, so I will just call their pen names instead of their real names,” Professor announced. “Enraged King and Trox King, you two brothers, come up here!”

The two young men groaned after being called out by the Professor, who didn’t care that the two of them just wanted to read a novel.

Since they were called, they had no choice but to go up on stage.

“The two of you, go on the left side,” Professor Lionel ordered. “I’m not that mean to let you two fight each other. “Now, we call upon their opponents. Come up, Roger and Philip!”

Two eager young men, who wanted to show off their prowess to their classmates, climbed up with confident smiles on their faces.

The King Brothers both wielded the element of Earth, while their opponents wielded the element of Wind.

The ones at a supposed disadvantage were the King Brothers because their enemies could practically ignore all of their attacks while they flew in the sky.

Even so, the two didn’t show any signs of weakness on their faces. They looked as if they were merely facing two extras in one of the novels that they read to help them pass the time.

“Are both sides ready?” Professor Lionel asked.

“Ready,” Trox King replied, while his brother, Enraged King, just nodded his head.

“More than ready,” Roger stated.

“Let’s do this.” Philip took out his wand, showing his eagerness to fight.

But just as their attacks were about to land on the dome of Earth, something unexpected happened.

Countless spikes emerged all around the arena and shot up in the air. The majority of these spikes were targeting the two flying Wizards, forcing them to defend themselves with powerful gusts of wind in order to repel the Earth Spikes that were flying in their direction.

However, the Earth Spike Barrage continued, bombarding the two flying Wizards ceaselessly.

The barrage’s speed and piercing power increased with each passing second.

Suddenly, the Earth Spikes started to spin rapidly as they flew toward their targets.

This time, their attacks passed through the gusts of wind that the two Wizards unleashed, making Roger’s and Philip’s eyes widen in shock.

As more and more spinning Earth Spikes emerged from the ground, the composure and confidence that the two flying Wizards had been exuding earlier vanished.

They were hard-pressed to dodge and defend themselves from the Earth Spikes that were endlessly coming at them.

Finally, one of the Earth Spikes hit Roger’s Arm, making the latter instantly turn into particles of light and reappear outside of the arena.

Any lethal blows would trigger the defensive magic that was placed on the arena, preventing anyone from dying.

Half a minute later, Philip appeared behind his comrade with a bitter look on his face.

“Winner, the King Brothers!” Professor Lionel shouted, making everyone in the surroundings cheer.

“That was an amazing performance,” Professor Lionel stated. “Both of you will be awarded with 200 Merit Points.”

““Thank you, Professor!””

The King Brothers were very happy with the rewards they gained from the battle and left the arena with smiles on their faces.

“Now that the warm up is over, let’s continue with the main event,” Professor Lionel smirked. “Lilian and Chloe, come up on stage.”

As soon as the two names were called, Ethan suddenly had a bad premonition. He couldn’t help but look at Professor Lionel with a bitter smile on his face because he felt that the Professor was doing this on purpose.
