“““Oberon’s Descent!”””
As Ethan and the Fairies all shouted in unison, Professor Barret imdiately flicked his wand and forcefully teleported Langston out of the arena.
A second later, a loud cracking sound, that was similar to a peal of thunder bood in the Grand Stadium, making so of the students cry out in shock due to how loud it was.
For a brief mont, the arena was covered with a white dust cloud. However, it didn’t linger for long because Professor Barret waved his wand a second ti and blew it away.
When everyone saw the aftermath of Ethan’s and Langston’s magical duel, most of them were unable to believe the scene in front of them.
Half of the arena was obliterated, and a crater that was several ters wide could be seen on the place where Langston was standing earlier.
A pin-drop silence that lasted for nearly ten seconds descended upon the arena before Professor Barret’s voice spread in the surroundings.
“The winner of the first match is Ethan Gremory!” Professor Barret declared.
His declaration broke everyone from their daze.
A mont later a round of cheering erupted in the stands where the Dud Manor, as well as the Fairies, who had co to watch the Magical Duel, began to make a ruckus.
“Wow! We won!” one of the Fairies shouted.
“Of course we won,” Ruby comnted. “How can we possibly lose when everyone is giving their all to support Ethan! Fairies are the best!”
“Fairies are the best!”
“Fairies are the best!”
“Fairies are the best!”
“Give us Candies!”
“Yeah! Give us Candies!”
“““Candies!”””
The Fairies, who had started to demand candies, made the mbers of Dud Manor look at them with smiles on their faces. Although they didn’t understand why they were demanding candies from Ethan, they wouldn’t mind chipping in because all of them were in a good mood.
“Finally, it’s… over,” Ethan muttered before the fairy wings on his back disappeared.
The blue-haired teenager then fell from the sky, which alard those who cared for him.
“Leviticus!”
Profesor Rinehart waved his wand, and Ethan, who was falling just a few seconds ago, slowly descended on the arena as if he was being carried by a gentle breeze.
“dics, co!” Professor Barret shouted.
The mbers of Terra Manor, who had been assigned as the dical personnel in the arena all moved as one to check Ethan’s condition.
“You’re suffering from Mana Deficiency,” one of the pretty girls from Terra Manor said. “Here. Please drink this.”
“Can’t you see that he can’t even move his body?” another pretty girl comnted. “How about I drink that potion and feed it to him mouth to mouth?”
“What? You’re just a First Year and you intend to get First Base before your seniors? You got so nerve newbie,” a third year who had above average looks stated. “Step aside, I’ll handle this.”
“No! I’ll do it.”
“Hey! The patient is still injured, stop pulling him!”
Professor Barret lightly rubbed his forehead as he gazed at the handso young man, who was currently being fought over by the young girls of Terra Manor. He didn't know if he should laugh and cry in this situation, so he decided to turn a blind eye on it.
“W-What are they doing?!” Chloe, who was paying close attention to her cousin, heard the nurses with her hearing spell, which made her very angry. “I’m not going to let them steal a kiss from Ethan. Not in my watch!”
Luna calmly stood up from the stands and placed a bracelet on her wrist. This was one of the Magical Batteries that she charged up whenever she was able to use Moon Magic.
This artifact allowed her to temporarily use her magic until its magical reserves ran out.
Similar to Chloe, she would not allow any other girls to kiss Ethan without her permission.
After all, the handso boy was the one that stole her first kiss, she wouldn’t allow his lips to be taken away by others so easily!
Just as things were getting out of hand, Professor Violet appeared in the arena and grabbed the potion from the hand of the Third Year girl, who planned to use mouth to mouth treatnt to pass the potion to Ethan’s body.
“You silly girls, have you forgotten where you are?” Professor Violet said before wagging the potion in her hand. “You’re in front of so many students, as well as guests in the Academy. Can you all act like the dical personnel that you were ant to be?”
The Professor’s reminder made the faces of the girls turn beet red. They had completely forgotten where they were and acted on impulse.
Most of the students in the Academy didn’t go there just to study magic. So of them were ordered by their families to find talented Wizards and Witches, whom they thought would beco suitable partners for marriage.
In the past, Ethan wasn’t soone popular due to him being a Dud. However, after winning his duel against Langston, more people took interest in him.
Now that he had won a second ti against the Ex-Pillar of Schwartz Manor, there was no doubt in their minds that he was the most ideal partner to beco a husband among the First Years.
Professor Violet also understood this part, so she no longer berated the girls. However, she reminded them to pay attention to their surroundings, so that people wouldn’t get the wrong idea.
“I’ll take care of him,” Professor Violet stated. “You girls go back, and remain on standby.”
“““Yes, Professor!”””
The nurses of Terra Manor all left the arena. However, while doing so, they still gave Ethan glances while sighing in their hearts for their missed opportunity.
“Good grief,” Professor Violet muttered before looking down at the unconscious boy beside her feet. “Although that last spell wasn’t a Partial Resonance, it was still a very powerful spell. Just where are you learning these things?”
Naturally, no answer ca because the person she wanted to ask was currently out like a light.
Professor Violet then waved her wand and made Ethan float in the air. The Professor then walked out of the arena, while Ethan slowly floated behind her.
“Due to the damage done to the arena, it will be needing so repairs,” Professor Rinehart stated. “We will take a one hour break before the next battle starts.”
After making his declaration, the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy glanced at two of the Professors that specialized in Earth magic.
The two nodded their heads in understanding and stepped into the arena to start repairing it.
This wasn’t the first ti that the arena had been damaged during a magical duel, so they already knew what to do.
Due to everyone focusing their attention on Ethan, they didn’t notice Langston leaving the arena with a contorted look on his face.
The blonde boy was biting his lip so hard that blood had already started to ooze from it.
Just like everyone else, he didn’t understand how Ethan was able to overco his strongest offensive spell. All he knew was that if Professor Barret didn’t act quickly, that attack might have made contact.
The arena had a special spell that prevented people from dying, but it didn’t prevent them from getting injured, or suffering great pain.
Because of this, Langston was saved from such hardships.
Even so, he wasn’t saved from the humiliation he suffered a second ti against the person who had beaten him in the past.
What was worse was that his father was watching the duel from the stands, which made the handso blonde boy feel very anxious.
His father didn’t like losing, and seeing his own son lose in front of countless people would certainly make him mad.
Because of this, Langston wanted to return to the Schwartz Manor as soon as possible and lock himself up inside his room.
That way, he didn’t have to see his father, who was currently seething in anger in the stands, wishing that he hadn't co to the Academy to watch his own son lose face in front of the other High-Ranking Nobles that opposed his faction in the Magical World.
