Chapter 168
Two days later, after many rounds of competition, they finally came to the last battle, namely the battle of the champion.
Two contestants, one of whom was a genius from Class 1, Grade 1 of fire type, named Joanna Hyman. The other one was the biggest dark horse in the competition, Bryce Hyman, who made a breakthrough at the last moment.
The biggest highlight of this battle was not only that Bryce himself had evolved from a loser into a genius, but also because of the special relationship between the two competing for the championship.
It seemed that there had never been a brother and a sister fighting for the championship in the history of the Scilar Magic Academy.
Therefore, in addition to the first-grade students, there were also a large number of students from Grade 2 and Grade 3 watching the battle. They were not even so enthusiastic about the final of their own grade. After all, after getting along with each other for several years, everyone knew that the champion was almost the two people, so there was no expectation for the first-grade competition.
On the stage, Bryce and Joanna stood face to face. The two were both emitting strong fire element energy.
All of a sudden!
A fireball appeared in Bryce’s hand. On the other side, a saber made of flames also condensed in front of Joanna.
Boom!
At the beginning of the competition, the competition had entered the white-hot stage, and the competition platform immediately flashed with flames.
“Is… Is this really a first-grade competition?”
A second-grade student in the auditorium said in disbelief, licking his dry lips. Judging from the power that erupted on the competition platform, it had surpassed most of their battles.
“I didn’t expect that the first-grade students are so powerful. If things go on like this, it won’t be long before they can beat us.” Another student from Grade 2 was also shocked.
“No, you are wrong.” Next to him, a tall boy shook his head and looked serious. When the two were confused about what he had said before, he slowly corrected them, “They can beat us up now.”
The other two couldn’t help but twitch their mouths. Although these words were very hurtful, they found that they could not find any reason to refute him.
Boom!
On the stage, the battle between Bryce and Joanna became more and more intense.
Bryce relied on his powerful agility to avoid the attack of Joanna, and at the same time, he kept looking for the flaws of Joanna. On the other hand, Joanna kept suppressing Bryce with her skillful control of the level-2 magic.
Boom!
Half an hour later, the battle ended with a loud noise on the competition platform.
The result was also unexpected, a draw.
The two were hit by the strong shock wave outside the competition platform at the same time. At the same time, because the magic power of the two had completely dried up, they did not have the power to continue to fight. Overall, the referee team concluded that the two were ranked first.
By this time, the school competition of the first grade had come to an end. During this period of time, the competition of the other two grades was about to come to an end. The champion of grade two was the Monica of the ice department, and the champion of grade three fell into the hands of Judith of the gold department as usual.
There would be a day off after the competition, and a grand award ceremony would be held next. At that time, all the major forces in the city would be invited to attend the ceremony.
In a good mood, Locke returned to the villa and immersed himself in practice again. When he was in practice, Mallory sent the copies of the magic books in the academy to him.
On the second day, the award ceremony was held on time.
That day, Locke came early unexpectedly. Last night, he had heard from Mallory that the magic tutors would also receive a lot of rewards.
The award ceremony was held at the place where the party was held last time. Different from the soft light at the party, there were several big crystal chandeliers at the party. The milky white light shone on the chandelier, making people feel sacred and energetic.
The award ceremony began soon. Mallory gave a speech on the stage. Perhaps he knew that he was not the protagonist of the award ceremony, so he finished his speech very soon. Then, Mrs. Beaulieu announced the students who had won the competition.
“First of all, let’s announce the top ten list of the first grade. The tenth place is Eric Mars, Class 4 of the fire department.”
Eric slowly walked up to the stage in front of her. Although she tried her best to calm herself down, she could still see a trace of excitement in her flickering eyes.
“The ninth place is Nicole Camilla from Class 1 of the ice department!”
“The eighth place, Marcia from Class 4 of the fire department!”
“The seventh one, Gilbert from Class 2 of the earth department!”
“The third place, Carpenter Aldridge from Class 1 of the dark department!”
“The second place, Bessemer Belle from Class 2 of thunder department.”
Seeing the short-haired girl named Bessemer Belle walk onto the award platform, Mrs. Beulieu slowly announced, “The first prize will be held by Joanna Hyman and Bryce Hyman!”
The audience burst into applause.
On the other side, on the viewing platform, Marquis Hyman smiled happily. Mrs. Hyman beside him also smiled with tears in her eyes.
With a smile, Count Grace said, “Mr. Marquis, as the saying goes, a wise goose never lays a tame egg. Miss Hyman and Mr. Hyman deserve to be your children.”
“I heard that Miss Grace has taken another mine. It’s unusual.” Marquis Hyman waved his hand and said modestly.
“Mr. Marquis, I’m flattered.” Count Grace shook his head with a smile.
“Mr. Marquis, I’ve long known that Mr. Hyman is promising.”
“Yes, I thought Mr. Hyman was smart.”
When the two were talking, several other counts also came up to flatter him.
You didn’t say that before. Marquis Hyman murmured to himself as he looked at the counts flattering him who seldom communicated with him. However, although he thought in disdain, he still replied with a smile one by one.
Some people were happy, while some were worried. Not far away, Count Bazel looked at Bryce with a gloomy face. “Boy, just laugh. You may not be able to laugh later.”
However, contrary to Count Bazel, Count Brandon didn’t show much emotional change on his face.
Sitting in the chair, Count Brandon looked in the direction of the award platform calmly. He seemed to be rather calm, but if you looked carefully, you could feel a cold killing intent deep in his eyes.
On the stage, Mallory began to give out awards to students.
As the champions, Bryce and Joanna naturally got the highest rewards. The two got a level-2 fire magic wand respectively with the mark of the Scilar Magic Academy on it.
Marcia and Eric also got a level-1 magic wand respectively.
The award ceremony was finished soon.
When Locke saw the reward, he couldn’t help but sigh that the academy was really wealthy. The magic rewards were all for the magic wands and the magic cloaks. After all, these things were worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins in total.
When he just arrived at Lister, he only had thousands of gold coins with him. If he hadn’t triggered the system, he would still be a poor man. Locke sighed again.
