Chapter 785 Part 2: Mind games
From MC's perspective:
Duel Platform,
As I got closer, one more thing caught my attention. There are already numbers printed under the seats/chairs. From Rank 1 to Rank 25.
Not only me, the other selected wizards who are coming in spotted this as well. Everyone stopped before the platform. No one is ready to take any of these places.
A good idea comes to mind. Why don't I pick up the 25th spot? When the duel starts, then I can challenge anyone in the top 10 to replace the place.
The plan was good. Why do I have to awkwardly stand here? Then I started approaching the 25th seat/chair. My move immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Because everyone is vying for the top 10 place. No-one is looking at the bottom places. But right now, the other wizard students are surprised.
On the other hand, this move caused a surprised gasp on the stands as well. Those who have come earlier were already seated and they are watching the genius wizard students entering the ground.
Seeing that one of the top genius wizard students taking the 25th place voluntarily made everyone surprised. But they know it will change when the duel starts.
On the ground, I reached the 25th chair before sitting on it. The next second, I felt many gazes on me. Most of them are filled with surprise and envy.
They are just showing hesitation. I made the decision to sit.
Right after, the other selected wizard students made the fast decision as well. They started to sit on the seats from 11th to 20th.
Seeing that, I wasn't surprised. Because they are not the genius wizard students from 3 big wizard halls. The wizard students from the Elemental Hall, the Bloodline Hall and the Weapon Hall have yet to come.
Meanwhile,
Gilbert Reese is at the place of Elder Galvin. There is a big screen set up in the front garden. Currently, the live streaming is going on.
Galvin Martin and Gilbert Reese are sitting on their chairs. Looking at the behavior of Vincent. Galvin Martin was amused. All the 10 wizard Halls have managed to get placed in 25 places.
The remaining 2 wizard Halls are exceptional.
Gilbert Reese on the other hand noticed this as well. But he is thinking about something else. He knows that internal competition is happening because of upcoming major competition.
But what's the end game? He also knows that the 3 academies won't easily agree on anything. Because three of them are competitors among themselves.
Their Yellow River Academy doesn't have good terms with the Weapon Palace Academy and the Royal Force Hall.
On the other hand, the Royal Force Hall and the Weapon Palace are good terms with each other. To think they have agreed to let their Yellow River Academy join.
There is something going on. But he wasn't able to wrap head around this situation.
Galvin Martin is observing Gilbert's expression for some time. He knows what's bothering him. But he himself doesn't know much about it. Because the dean has been keeping it secret as well.
He has guessed something because of his personal contacts. But he is not willing to tell Gilbert. Otherwise, it could pressure him more.
On the duel ground,
Mike Curtis made the appearance. As he walked into the ground, his image was shown on the big screen. Which instantly exposed his whereabouts.
Uproar!
By this time, the majority of the crowd had occupied the seats. They immediately let out a cheer, seeing the image of Mike Curtis on the screen.
The previous duels of Mike Curtis are clearly vivid in people's minds. Taboo Shadow Magic has scared everyone before.
Mike Curtis walked close to the platform. Then he suddenly paused his movements before sweeping his eyes across at everyone.
Those who are sitting on the places between 11th to 20th avert their gaze. They are not willing to meet the eyes of Mike Curtis.
Finally, Mike Curtis' gaze set on Vincent Carey. His eyes flashes with a cold glint. A fighting intent rose in his heart. Both of them didn't meet during the previous duels.
Which has disappointed Mike Curtis greatly. After snorting in his heart, he turned towards the seats/chairs. And set his gaze on the 1st position. The first 10 spots are empty, no one dares to sit on it.
Mike Curtis walked to the 1st chair and sat on it. Which again caused the audiences to cheer. Everyone knows that Mike Curtis was strong. But this move made their belief stronger.
Now they are looking forward to seeing who is going to challenge Mike Curtis for the first place.
Mike Curtis maintained his cold look. But he is thinking about something. He always wanted to fight against Vincent Carey.
But so far that has not happened. He doesn't know whether Vincent Carey is courageous enough to challenge his position. He then looks towards Vincent Carey.
On the other hand, I felt the cold gaze. When I looked around. I saw Mike Curtis observing me. Seeing that I sighed inwardly.
As I have guessed, Mike Curtis took the 1st seat. It would be interesting to see what the other two Halls are going to do.
A few minutes later,
The 5 Elemental Wizards walked into the ground. 5 of them are talking and laughing as they walk in. But when they saw Mike Curtis. Their laughter has stopped.
Then they begin to notice what's happening around them.
Seeing that everyone has picked a seat to sit. The Elemental genius wizard students started selecting the place from the 2nd seat.
Five of them walked to the place. And sat one after another on the following chairs.
Mike Curtis watched their actions coldly. But he didn't say anything.
lightsn?v?l A few seconds later,
The 5 weapon wizards walked in. They are doing the same thing as well. Right after seeing the seating arrangements. They ignored the 1st seat and Mike Curtis. Then coldly looked at the Elemental Hall wizards.
There was not much difference in strength between the Elemental Hall and Weapon Hall wizards.
