Chapter 1856 - This Child Grew Up So Impatiently!
Chapter 1856: This Child Grew Up So Impatiently!
In front of the Magus Tower, King Andre, the courtiers, and the magic casters sat on the elevated platform.
Princess Vanessa was not there today, but the second prince, Josh, who had not been seen for days, was around, and was sitting on the left of Andre.
Josh was dressed in a magician robe, and had a smile on his face. He was still that kind and gentle second prince in the eyes of the people.
On top of that, Josh was also the disciple of Richard, the president of the Magus Tower. This was the best time for him to don the magician robe.
Krassu glanced at Josh, and was shocked. That day, Alex sliced off one of his ears, and gave him a death notice. However, right now, other than just looking a little thinner, Josh actually looked rather good mentally.
Below the stage, the 32 magic caster category contestants and 32 youth category contestants stood on either side of the stage.
Standing right in the front in the magic caster category row was a tiny Amy. The contrast between her and the big and tall Westin, who was standing right in front in the youth category row, was very glaring.
It would look a little better if the two of them were to switch positions.
Kassadin had long heard all the discussions. His face was red with embarrassment. If it were not because Elder Brent kept promising to take him in as his disciple, and give him more resources when he entered the Magus Tower, he would definitely not have appeared.
He glanced at Amy, and clenched his teeth. If it were not for her, he would not have appeared here again. He was supposed to be the one standing in that position, getting all the looks of admiration from everyone. He should not be standing here and be questioned for bullying children.
How hateful!
Amy happened to turn to look towards the youth category row, and saw Kassadin. She could not help but exclaim to herself, “This child grew up so impatiently!”
The scene on the screen happened to switch to the contestants. Amy was looking up slightly and saw, to her shock, Kassadin being projected on the screen.
Amy, who was standing among the adults, and Kassadin, who was standing among the children, coupled with Amy’s shocked expression.
After a moment of silence, a roar of laughter erupted.
The contestants all heard Amy’s words, and were trying very hard to control their expressions. They could not laugh too hard at such a solemn and important event.
Kassadin’s face turned black. He was dying to crawl into a hole and disappear.
“Our contestants managed to emerge victorious in yesterday’s competition. Today, we will be moving on with the Magic Caster Tournament’s top 32 ranking matches, and finally decide the rankings for the champion and top 32 for this year’s Magic Caster Tournament. Now, could all the contestants get ready? The draw for the top 32 battles will start soon. The rules are as they were yesterday. The last 16 contestants will be picking the numbers!”
The emcee interrupted the roar of laughter, and announced the drawing for the first match of the day.
The ball of numbers exploded, and the flying number tags were caught by the contestants. The duel name list was quickly reflected on the screen.
Other than Amy, the disciple of the Magus Tower president, Jasper, had also received a lot of attention as he was the hot favorite to win for this year’s Magic Caster Tournament.
On top of that, there was also Jeremy, the pro of lightning magic, who had made it into the top 32 for three consecutive years, and even reached the eighth spot in the previous tournament.
However, he decided to take part in the Magic Caster Tournament once again as he was not hired by the Magus Tower as a teacher. It was very apparent that for Jeremy, who was at the peak of the 7th-tier, his goal was the championship.
Jeremy was born as an ordinary person, and did not have a background with the Magus Tower or a family of magic casters. He worked his way up to his current spot step by step based on his hard work and the opportunities he got on the way. Therefore, he was very popular among ordinary people.
There were also a few other magic casters at the peak of the 7th-tier who were also thought to be hot favorites for the champion title.
Everyone’s expectations of who would clinch the championship were reflected in the number of folds for them getting champion’s place.
Jasper was at 3.0 folds, and Jeremy was at 3.5 folds. Both of them were hot favorites for the champion spot, so before the top 32 competition even started, their folds were already very low.
However, Amy had a 1.0 fold, and that shocked everyone.
Although Amy performed very well in yesterday’s competition, displaying the strength of close combat magic and her good use of both long-range offensive magic and close combat magic, she was still a child, after all. On top of that, according to the analysis of the magic casters, she had yet to even break through the 7th-tier. The moment she was lined up with powerful magic casters like Jeremy and Jasper, she would have no chance of winning.
As for why her folds were so low, it was because someone had placed a 20,000,000 copper coin bet on her becoming the champion during the top 64 battle yesterday, even before she entered the top 32. Therefore, her folds dropped straight from 100 to one.
Although Amy’s chances of winning were slim, according to the staff from the casino, if she really won the championship, not only would the magic casters from the Magus Tower not profit from the bets, they would even lose all the money they’d earned from the tickets.
Am I lucky or unlucky??McKinley looked at the number 0 in his hand as he fretted.
He was probably very lucky not to have picked Jeremy or Jasper in his first battle, but picking Amy was a headache as well.
Although she had yet to break through the 7th-tier, even Albin from the Magus Tower lost to her yesterday, and that meant that her capabilities could not be measured purely with her tier.
McKinley knew very well how strong Albin was as someone with a family of magic casters.
However, as an advanced magic caster, he also had his dignity and pride. When the emcee announced for everyone to take their places at their respective areas, he started to quickly brainstorm over what to do.
The key to Amy’s win was to act before her opponent. And as her opponent, even an advanced magic caster would find it very difficult to win if they were unable to cast their advanced magic.
Therefore, the key to this battle would naturally be how to defeat her before she even got close.
What a headache.?McKinley locked his brows together tightly.
Amy glanced at the number tag on her waist, and then hopped along to the battle arena she was supposed to go to.
For the top 32 battle, the area had doubled again, allowing both parties to fully unleash their capabilities.
Amy stood at the center of the arena, and looked at McKinley, who was standing almost at the edge, curiously. When she saw that he had his brows tightly knit together, she could not help but ask, “This big brother seems a little unhappy?”
Most of the screens in the area were broadcasting the scene at Amy’s arena.
“Isn’t that McKinley from the Langard Family? The Langard Family is a family of talented magic casters. They had been the magic casters who had moved to become advanced magic casters the fastest recently.”
“I remember that he’s a fire magic caster. He’s not bad.”
“But… Little Amy’s master is the God of Fire, Krassu.”
“The duel between flames. I guess this would be one exciting duel.”
The audience chatted fervently, and everyone had their thoughts on how this duel would turn out.
“All candidates, take your positions! The duels will officially begin!”
The emcee’s clear and loud voice resounded the arena.
“Fire element, listen to my call, chaos without order, make her explode!”
McKinley raised his magic wand, and chanted his spell. He pointed at Amy, and three fireballs with flaming red tails were shot towards Amy.
