Chapter 458 Don’t We Have Another Team Member?

“I hope so.” Abbott aimed a meaningful look at Krassu, trying to figure out what he was thinking, but to no avail. Nonetheless, he still put on a smile, and said, “The Magus Tower is still the most powerful force among magic casters, isn’t that right, Master Krassu?”

“Really? I’ve never thought that. Your ego has become very inflated, Abbott.” Krassu shook his head in response.

“But Master Krassu, you were the one who created the Magus Tower all those years ago. Back in the tournament, you and Master Urien shared the championship title, and he left Rodu while you stayed to found the Magus Tower. Only after several decades of development has the Magus Tower become what it currently is. Is it not the most powerful force in your eyes?” Abbott looked at Krassu with a hint of

puzzlement and vehemence in his eyes.

“This is no longer the Magus Tower that it once was. It has developed into something that I do not like. It would be like you having a child with your wife, only for the child to look more and more like your neighbor as he grows up. Would you still think that he’s your child then? So don’t ever say that to me again. The current Magus Tower has nothing to do with me. I may be old now, but I still know shame.” Krassu

turned to Abbott with a very serious expression.

Abbott opened his mouth to say something, but he only nodded and left a parting sentence before leaving. “I hope to witness a brilliant performance from your disciple.”

“He was quite a pure and innocent kid when he first joined the Magus Tower. He doesn’t have a lot of talent, but he’s not actually a bad person…” Krassu shook his head with a slightly wistful expression.

“Where’s Amy? Isn’t Amy battling the magic casters from the Magus Tower today?” Daphne sat on the edge of her seat, and scanned through the crowd repeatedly with her eyes, but was disappointed to find that Amy was still absent.

“I feel like she probably doesn’t have the right to participate in the match. After all, all of the participants are our upperclassmen from the secondary section. They’re all very powerful, while she’s only been learning magic for a month, so how can she represent Chaos School?” Ignatsu was also searching through the crowd.

“That’s not true! Amy is super awesome. If she participates in the match, then she’ll be sure to strike everyone down!” Daphne was very confident in Amy’s abilities.

“Speaking of which, that Parmer guy is really impressive too. He’s representing our school in the arithmetics competition. I feel like Amy would be a better candidate for that competition, though,” Ignatsu continued.

Is Little Amy competing in anything today? Why haven’t I seen her yet? Luna finally managed to get all of the kids in her class to settle down, but she was also quite curious. Amy wasn’t on the stage, nor was she next to Krassu, so where could she be?

On the stage, the young Magus Tower magic casters were also sizing up their opponents with a haughty look in their eyes.

“Is Master Krassu’s disciple on the stage? I heard she’s a half-elf girl, but no one seems to fit that description.” George was rather perplexed as he looked around.

“That little brat must be too scared to turn up. She’s just a half-elf piece of trash that doesn’t even dare to face our Magus Tower. She’s nothing but a joke.” Hank pursed his lips, and looked at the rest of Chaos School’s students with a disdainful expression as he said, “Just like these idiots here. If even a crappy school like this can produce good magic casters, then what’s the point of our Magus Tower existing?”

Hank made no attempt to speak quietly, so everyone heard his insults. All of the students immediately began to glower up at Hank, and if it weren’t for the fact that the principal and teachers were sitting beneath the stage, they would definitely challenge the cocky bastard to a battle.

Thus, the situation instantly became very tense, and it felt as if the slightest catalyst could send everything spiraling out of control.

“Go, Chaos School!”

“Chaos School is unbeatable!”

The confrontation on the stage sparked all of the students below the stage into action. Someone led the way with a chant, following which countless voices joined in, threatening to blow the roof off the hall.

“We have to win this time! We must fight for the glory of Chaos School!” Claus clenched his fists, and waved his arm through the air. He was the most powerful representative of Chaos School, as well as the team leader who was close to becoming a 4th-tier magic caster. As such, he was feeling a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

“For the glory of Chaos School!”

All of the Chaos School students roared in unison, and the doubts in their hearts had been completely erased. They listened to the ear-splitting chants ringing out within the hall, and they could feel adrenaline pumping through their veins. All of them only had one thought in their minds, and that was to stomp these obnoxious bastards into the ground!

The home-court advantage was on full display.

In contrast, the Magus Tower magic casters were under a lot of pressure. The eldest among them was Hank at 16 years old, while the youngest was George, who was only 12 years old, and most of them were feeling quite flustered as it was their first time facing such a situation.

“Don’t worry, they may be loud now, but we’ll let our magic do the talking. If screaming like idiots can win battles, then what’s the point in becoming more powerful?” Hank smiled coldly as he turned to Claus, and emulated a throat-slitting motion with his right thumb.

With the words of reassurance from Hank, the Magus Tower magic casters gradually calmed down. Hank was the most powerful contestant as a 4th-tier magic caster, so the victory was in the bag for them.

“Youthful exuberance and a unified heart are far more important than the result of this match.” A smile appeared on Novan’s face as he heard the chants erupting within the hall. He turned to the school administrator beside him, and said, “Let’s begin.”

Grinton nodded before announcing, “Please be quiet, everyone. I hereby announce the official commencement of the match between Chaos School and the Magus Tower! The match between the Advanced Imperial Academy and Chaos School will also be taking place at the same time in another venue!”

A voice amplification device ensured that his voice was heard by everyone, and it also created a surround-sound effect.

The hall gradually fell silent, and the students from the Advanced Imperial Academy all made their way down from the stage before being guided by their teachers to different contest venues. Thus, only the teachers and students of Chaos School as well as the young magic casters from the Magus Tower remained on the stage.

Both sides were wearing magician robes, one side in white and the other in blue, as they faced off against each other.

Grinton announced, “Next, I’ll be specifying the rules of the match. In the past, the match-ups were decided by picking lots, but this time, contestants will be able to engage in battle voluntarily, with the loser being eliminated, while the victor continues to take on other challenges. Alternatively, the victor can also choose to take a rest, but can be swapped back on later. This arrangement will continue until one team has been completely defeated!”

“But don’t we still have another team member?” The Chaos School students were rather perplexed. They only had 14 members, while the Magus Tower had 15.

“In that case, we will only need two people to eliminate all of you.” Hank stepped forward with a haughty expression on his face.
