Chapter 466: I’m Going to Make You Cry
Hank’s entrance made the entire venue fall silent again. His easy victories against the seven Chaos School representatives had left a deep impression on everyone. He was clearly more powerful than George, so would Amy still be able to defeat him?
The Magus Tower magic casters were also a little concerned. They were confident in Hank’s abilities, but Amy’s spell from just then was simply too powerful. None of them would have been able to set up a convincing defense against that spell.
George and Hank had easily defeated 14 of the Chaos School representatives, and even though they were a little disgruntled that they wouldn’t get a chance to shine, at the very least, they would be able to complete their mission.
However, an unfathomably powerful half-elf magic caster had suddenly appeared, injecting an unknown element into this match. If the Magus Tower were to lose this match because of a little four-year-old girl, they would all have to face the flaming wrath of their masters.
Hank was also in a rather foul mood. As the team leader of the Magus Tower, his objective was to obtain a perfect victory to humiliate Chaos School. However, his plan had been foiled by Amy.
Not only had George lost, he had lost in a very humiliating manner. He was a 3rd-tier magic caster, but he had been “insta-killed” by a four-year-old half-elf. If news of this were to spread, then the Magus Tower’s reputation would most likely take a severe hit.
As such, he had to win this battle to recover some dignity for the Magus Tower. Furthermore, one of his main objectives for this trip was to defeat Krassu’s disciple. His master had told him prior to his departure that had to embarrass Krassu should an opportunity present itself. That was the most important thing that he had to do.
Conflict between a melee and a long-distance faction had also arisen in the Magus Tower before. However, due to Krassu distancing himself from the Magus Tower, and a lack of melee magic casters, the conflict between the two factions gradually died down.
However, his master, Brent, was an avid supporter of Richard, and he had always held a grudge against Krassu. As such, he really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to thoroughly embarrass Krassu.
Amy had already displayed her magical abilities, and even if Hank were to defeat her, it wouldn’t win him any honor or glory. Instead, he would only be known as a bully who had beaten a child a quarter of his age.
However, if he could make this a battle between melee and long-distance magic, then he could prove a point by defeating Amy. She was Krassu’s only disciple, while he was representing the Magus Tower as Brent’s disciple. As such, a victory for him could be declared as a victory for long-distance magic over melee magic.
As for the disparities between age and power level, that wasn’t important. The only important thing was the end result of the battle.
People would only learn that the disciple of the number one melee magic caster on the continent had been defeated by Hank, who was Brent’s disciple. His master would certainly be very pleased to hear this.
With that in mind, a sinister smile appeared on Hank’s. He was like a wolf appraising a little lamb, thinking about how to best tear into her with his sharp fangs.
“Melee magic? I’m super strong in melee magic as well,” Amy responded with a serious expression. She then continued, “But do you really want me to use my big stick to knock you on the head? You might end up crying.”
Another burst of cheers instantly erupted from below the stage. Amy’s performance had filled everyone with excitement and adrenaline.
Everyone was wondering whether Amy would even accept Hank’s challenge. Even if she were to turn him down, no one could blame her. After all, even Upperclassman Claus had been easily defeated by him, and it was already a brilliant feat that she was able to defeat George.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Amy’s reply was still as simple as ever. She still wore her usual adorkable expression, but she somehow appeared really badass at the same time.
“As expected of my disciple; she has the flair that I had in my younger days. Melee magic is the best. If anyone begs to differ, then knock them on the head until they’re forced to concede.” Krassu was chortling with glee.
Aside from with Urien, he hadn’t argued with anyone about melee and long-distance magic for a long time. He was initially quite depressed at the notion that melee magic would once again fall into obscurity after he passed away, but Amy’s emergence had given him new hope. At the very least, he would be able to pass down his melee magic to the most brilliant prodigy he had ever seen.
As for just how powerful melee magic was, that would be displayed in battle. The countless magic casters that he had defeated in his life could testify to its power, and all of Amy’s future opponents would also learn this lesson.
Melee magic? Could it be that she has also mastered melee magic in such a short time? Abbott glanced at Krassu out of the corner of his eyes, and an ominous feeling welled up in his heart.
He harbored no animosity for Krassu. In fact, Krassu had been his idol when he first joined the Magus Tower. However, Great Elder Richard had since taken over the Magus Tower, and it was quite obvious what he wanted to achieve by sending this team of magic casters to Chaos City.
George’s loss was already quite embarrassing for the Magus Tower. If Hank were to lose as well, then everything would be reduced to a pitiful joke. The Magus Tower team would be reduced to stepping stones for Krassu’s disciple as she went on to achieve greater feats.
Everything is still under control. Even if she could unleash that attack again, Hank would be able to defend against it. Melee magic casters are at a complete disadvantage when facing long-distance magic casters of the same tier, and it’s no simple task for her to close down the distance between herself and Hank. Also, Hank’s intermediate, binding vines, is a natural bane of all melee magic casters. A string of thoughts raced through Abbott’s mind, and he quickly calmed down. He looked up at Amy on the platform and heaved an internal sigh. A supreme prodigy like her would surely stand at the pinnacle of the Norland Continent someday if she didn’t die an early death.
“Little brat, I hope you’re not going to be crying soon. I’m not going to hold back against you.” Hank was furious as he glowered at Amy.
“Green fur monster, I hope you don’t cry too loud. You’re so ugly you’d be really scary if you cried. Try not to scare the little kids.” Amy looked at Hank with a serious expression.
“Let the 11th battle commence!” Karpas announced.
The two teachers were standing quite close behind the two contestants. The female teacher behind Amy was only about two meters away from her, and it appeared that she was preparing to step in at any moment.
“Little brat, are you using that little stick as a melee magic caster?” Hank wasn’t in a hurry to attack. Instead, he looked at the wand in Amy’s hand with a mocking smile, and said, “Don’t you have a staff? Is Master Krassu so poor that he can’t even afford a staff for his disciple? What kind of melee magic caster are you supposed to be?”
“In my name, unseal this staff. Queen Amy’s wand, transform!”
Amy put on a serious expression, and purple light flashed from the purple crystal on his wand, upon which a purple magic staff over two meters in length appeared in her hands.
A round purple crystal ball roughly the size of a human fist was nestled on the tip of the staff, and dazzling purple golden light emanated from within the crystal.
“Wind fire wheels, reveal!”
Two balls of fire suddenly appeared beneath Amy’s feet as she wielded her staff in her little hands. She rose about 20 centimeters into the air, and the two balls of fire quickly revolved beneath her.
“Green fur monster, you mocked my master, so I’m angry now. I’m going to make you cry!” Amy looked at Hank with a serious expression, and she pointed her staff forward as her wind fire wheels sent her whizzing through the air!
