BXBX NOVEL Chapter 291: Explode
Chapter 291: Explode
*Whosh* *Whosh* *Whosh* The principal kept maneuvering in the air while the series of Firebolt almost hit him.
Actually, the headmaster's choice to use fly is an excellent plan since if he stays on the ground, Angus could easily predict Antonio's movement.
To win the match, it is not necessary to defeat the others. They only need to land a hit three times to others. Otherwise, Jayna will win the match when teacher Genus gets hit by the [True Slash].
This examination does not see who wins or loses through strength but their battle sense and decision-making. Once they make a wrong decision, they could be in a tight spot and hit by the attack.
Therefore, Angus decides to use fast casting [Firebolt] to pressurize the headmaster. Just the power of [Firebolt] is already enough to trigger the safety barrier and score a point.
While the headmaster dodged the furious attack, he suddenly cast a spell below Angus [2nd Circle - Water Torrent]. *BAM* Unfortunately, Angus already feels the mana fluctuation below him and dodges it effortlessly.
'As expected of fifth grade, he could easily cast 2nd circle of different elemental spells.' thought Angus.
Still, the headmaster is not stopping there and keeps casting [Water Torrent] below Angus. In response, Angus also launched a series of [Firebolt] while moving to not getting hit by Water Torrent.
Both of them keep exchanging spells for a while, and the whole arena begins to be drenched in water. Seeing this, Angus has a bad premonition. Antonio immediately uses this opportunity and launches a different spell to the ground [2nd Circle - Lightning Bolt]. *Bam*
Fortunately, Angus also quickly minded and immediately cast [2nd Circle - Earth Wall] below him and raised the ground avoiding the wet part.
"Interesting… I think I need to get a little bit more serious." said Angus.
Then, Angus once again released a series of [Firebolt] towards the headmaster. Looking at Angus still not learning, the headmaster dodges the [Firebolt] while casting Water Torrent below Angus.
Just as the Firebolt passed the headmaster, "HA!! [Hellfire - Explode]" *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* The small firebolt suddenly turned into a more extensive fire and exploded.
Although Angus didn't make significant progress in [Firecast] during these past months, he still learned a few things.
Manipulating the natural fire may be difficult for him, but manipulating his own fire spell into getting bigger is easy for him, even if it is outside his body.
Unfortunately, the explosion is quite far from the headmaster and didn't trigger his safety barrier. Still, it is enough to shake the old man and interrupt his spell from the small shockwave.
Without wasting any more time, Angus keeps releasing a series of [Firebolt] and explodes it when it is near the headmaster. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* The headmaster is forced to focus on dodging since the explosion shockwave is quite troubling him.
The explosion shockwave may be small, but it could trigger the safety barrier anytime if it is reaching a certain threshold. At this moment, the firebolt didn't explode, but on Angus's other hand, there is a magic diagram with a spark of lightning [2nd Circle - Lightning Bolt].
Before the headmaster could react, the lightning bolt already traveled in the blink of an eye and hit him. *Bam*
"Urggh!!" groaned the headmaster Antonio while getting electrocuted a little bit.
Not wasting this opportunity, Angus sent a [2nd Circle - Fireball] towards him. Unlike the Firebolt, the fireball is bigger and travels faster. Forcing his numbed body, the old headmaster immediately ducked to the side.
As the Fireball near the headmaster, Angus uses [Hellfire - Explosion] once again to explode the fireball. Because it contains more fire mana and is more extensive than a firebolt, the explosion is bigger than when it exploded. *BOOM*
'Woahh… I never thought it could become that big.' thought Angus.
Still, the headmaster is not a pushover either [2nd Circle - Iron Coffin]. A steel coffin appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Antonio, and protecting him from the Fireball's explosion.
Seeing that his attack didn't trigger the safety barrier, "Tch.. what a quick-witted old man." said Angus while controlling his fire mana in the air.
Using the leftover fire element in the air and combining it with his own mana, Angus begins to silently chant a spell while releasing a flurry of Firebolt [Multicast]. The headmaster cancels his own spell and maneuvers in the air dodging the Firebolt.
Learning his lesson, the old headmaster takes quite a distance from all these Firebolts. Suddenly, huge mana flared up from Angus.
"[Firecast - 3rd Circle - Fire Wyrm]" yelled Angus.
*Whoosh* A big fire wyrm appeared from the leftover fire elemental in the air. *Roarr* Roaring the Fire Wyrm while pursuing the headmaster.
"Haa.. no time to take a breath." said the Headmaster Antonio.
Seeing this, the headmaster immediately goes near the ground. The Fire Wyrm keeps pursuing the headmaster relentlessly. Just as it is going near the ground, a few magic circles appear on the ground [2nd Circle - Water Torrent].? *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*
Part of the Fire Wyrm was destroyed and extinguished from the sudden burst of water. Just as the Fire Wyrm wants to disappear, Angus appears behind the Fire Wyrm [2nd Circle - Fire Oil].*WHOOOSHH* The whole Fire Wyrm turns into a wave of fire into the headmaster.
The scale of the fire wave is massive and does not leave any space for Antonio to retreat. The quick-witted headmaster immediately cast [2nd Circle - Earth Wall] to defend himself. But, he still gets enveloped by the fire from the side and triggers his safety barrier.
Just want to get away from the spot, "[Hellfire - Explosion]" yelled Angus while controlling the fire *BOOOM* the whole arena enveloped by the explosion leaving no place beside Angus spot.
*Cough* *Cough* "Haa… youngsters these days are terrifying."? said the old headmaster after coming out from the explosion.
At the same time, the safety barrier already triggered and protected him for the third time. This signifies the end of their match and Angus's flawless victory. Everyone who saw this couldn't help but be surprised at the match.
Everyone knows that Angus is quite strong and has a great battle sense. But not to the point of completely pushing the headmaster around. Even Though the headmaster limited himself until the third circle spell, everyone still finds Angus' performance incredible.
"Hmm… It seems my hard work during these three months is not futile." said Angus.
He found his control over his own fire mana was greater than before. This is also the reason he could cast 2nd circle and 3rd circle fire spells quickly. Moreover, his [Hellfire - Explosion] also improved a lot.
After that, the teacher begins to discuss everyone's results. They still need to rank the students and give them a score.
Like the academy rules, the top-ranking will get more points than others. The point in the academy still could be used to exchange various stuff and support their life in the academy.
Because they are a special class, they already have established their own ranking and get their basic point at the minimum of 200 points which is equal to the top five ranking of the regular class. Still, the first ranking will get 500 points like the usual.
This is their privilege as being inside the special class. Moreover, their daily expenses are also supported by the kingdom and the academy. Furthermore, they also get free access to any skill and spellbooks in the academy.
So, they only need to use the point to get tutored by the teacher in spells and skills. This privilege is what Angus liked the most since he could access all the spells and the skills in the royal academy.
Still, high circle spells and skills are quite complex. Therefore, unless they have an insane natural talent like Angus, the others need to be guided by others to learn the skill or spell.
While the teacher is having a discussion, Angus and his friend decide to go back to the dorm to rest. The majority of them are quite exhausted after the test, especially Anna who is going all out when he fights against Ilgor during the examination.
Arriving at the Spring Dorm, they find few people at the dorm entrance. One of the students decides to approach Angus and the others.
"Ohh.. Is this the famous special class that I heard about?" said the student.
In the meantime, Angus and the others decide to ignore the student. They keep walking and entering the Spring Dorm.
Being ignored by everyone, "Oiii… I am talking to you all!!" said the student.
"Haa.. Who are you again?" said Ian with a mocking face.
"Shut up, commoner. I am not talking to you. Don't you know that I am Paul Gonzalet, son of the marquis Gonzalet." said the student.
Hearing the familiar name, everyone finally remembers who he is. Paul Gonzalet is actually the son of a high noble that is trying to court Millie a long time ago. Seeing that everyone finally remembers him, makes Paul irritated. However, he suppressed his dissatisfaction.
"Ehem.. I am here to invite all of you to my party to celebrate my graduation." said Paul.
Hearing this, everyone once again ignored him and kept walking.
