Chapter 103 He Might Have Won The Battle, But He Has Lost The War

After summoning the Wall of Fire and blocking the Ice Fox’s attacks, Lily decided to run behind Ethan in the hope of attacking him in a pincer attack along with her summoned creature.

Ethan, who was aware of what his opponent wanted to do, still had a calm expression on his face as he tried to remember the different strategies that Chloe, and Luna, had brainstormed with him a day ago.

After remembering all those things, he deemed that none of them would work against Lily, as well as her summon, who was now pelting him with Ice Bullets.

“In the end, I still have to resort to my Trump Card,” Ethan muttered as he gripped his wand firmly.

Although what he planned to do was not righteous, nor was it honorable, it was the only thing that he could think of in order to pressure Lily in this battle. Even though he felt bad about doing it to a girl, he couldn't afford to lose!

Just as Lily pointed her wand towards Ethan, who kept the Fire Wall blazing, the handsome teenager also turned around and pointed his wand at his opponent and chanted a spell.

““Impediendum!””

Lily and Ethan shouted the name of the spell at the same time.

A moment later, the two spells clashed, canceling each other out.

The Wall of Flames behind Ethan’s back also disappeared because he had stopped using his Magical Power to keep it working.

Seeing that an opportunity had arrived, the Ice Fox once again unleashed a barrage of Ice Bullets at the teenage boy, who had his back to it.

Ethan who knew that the attack was coming tapped his chest with his wand as he chanted another spell.

“Fairy Fuga!”

Two butterfly wings appeared behind his back, which he immediately used to fly upwards, evading the Ice Bullets from behind.

“It’s no use even if you fly, Ethan,” Lily said as she aimed her wand at the teenage boy, who was now evading her summon’s attacks while flying.

“We’ll see if it’s no use,” Ethan replied as he pointed his wand at Lily before unleashing his Trump Card Spell.

“Magna Mephitis Imbre!”

Immediately, a yellow spray of what seemed to be some kind of liquid erupted from the tip of Ethan’s wand.

Lily’s eyes widened in shock before she subconsciously transformed her feet into that of a wolf’s and ran sideways to evade Ethan’s attack.

“Like I’d let you!” Ethan roared as he swung his wand like a sword, spreading the yellow spray sideways.

Suddenly, a breeze blew past the arena and a very pungent odor similar to the smell of rotten eggs, and spoiled cabbage reached everyone in the Grand Stadium.

“Yuck!”

“Ewww!”

“Disgusting!”

“What the hell?!”

Ethan ignored the uproar and casted his spell a second time, putting a lot of his magical power in it.

“Magna Mephitis Imbre!”

Lily almost gagged after seeing that the teenage boy had once again used the nefarious spell, which would make her stink for days if it managed to hit her.

The Ice Fox, who was attacking Ethan earlier subconsciously backed away because its Bestial Nature understood that if it was hit by that horrifying yellow spray, it would definitely suffer a fate worse than death.

“What’s wrong, Lily?” Ethan asked as he casted the spell for the third time. “Attack me!”

Lily wanted to beat Ethan so bad right now, but she had no time for that. Even with her extreme speed, she was very wary of getting hit by the teenage boy’s disgusting strategy.

Ethan understood what Lily was thinking, but he didn’t care. He continued to cast the spell, spraying the majority of the arena, and coating it with yellow liquid.

“Looks like you have nowhere else to run,” Ethan said evilly, like a third-rate villain who had cornered the heroine.

“You bastard!” Lily finally lost her cool and shouted at the teenage boy, who was still flying above the arena. “Are you a man?! Can’t you even fight fairly?!”

“All is fair in love and war,” Ethan replied as he pointed his wand at the cutest First Year, whose face was now contorted in anger. “Are you going to surrender, or should I finish this match?”

“Bastard! If you dare hit Lily with that spell I’ll fight you to the death!” A First Year from the Jaeger Manor rose up in anger.

“Even if the Heavens forgive you, I won’t forgive you!” A First Year from the Eques Manor also roared.

“Dirty player!”

“Disgusting Dud!”

“Die Mongrel!”

Shouts of anger and curses spread in the arena, but Ethan didn’t care.

The moment he used his spell, he had prepared himself to be rebuked by everyone.

“In the end, it still came to this,” Chloe said with her hand covering her mouth and nose.

“Yes,” Luna replied, while doing the same.

The stench was really strong, and everyone in the arena felt like puking. Even the Professors were cursing Ethan internally because they had just eaten breakfast, and were now on the verge of throwing up.

Professor Barret raised his wand and created a dome of light in the arena, preventing the excess smell from leaving it.

Even he, who had a good impression of Ethan, couldn’t help but want to kick the boy, who was acting like the villain in a Fairy Tale.

Seeing that Lily was gritting her teeth in anger, the teenage boy thought that she was planning to go all out in order to fight her. Because of this, he decided to not hold back and unleash his Trump Card to finish the match.

“Magna Meph…”

“I concede!”

Lily shouted before Ethan could finish his spell.

She then glared hatefully at Ethan before jumping out of the arena and running in the opposite direction.

“Ethan, I hate you!” Lily shouted as she ran away, not even bothering to look back at her opponent, who had forced her to surrender.

Professor Barret then raced his hand, and announced the victor of the match.

“Winner Ethan Gremory!”

A few seconds later, after his announcement, the audience booed the teenage boy. Even the Professors were shaking their heads helplessly at the young man, who was still hovering above the arena.

“He might have won the battle, but he has lost the war,” Professor Njal, who was one of the supervisors of the Jaeger Manor commented. “After this duel, Ethan will surely be hated.”

Professor Lionel and Professor Violet nodded their heads in agreement.

Just as everyone thought that Ethan would leave the arena, the teenage boy aimed his wand at the last area of the arena that was still not coated with yellowish liquid.

“Magna Mephitis Imbre.”

Just like what everyone had seen earlier, a yellowish liquid sprayed out from the tip of Ethan’s wand, and hit the area that had not yet been defiled with his disgusting spell.

Only when he was sure that the arena was coated with the nefarious liquid did the the young man fly towards the Dud Manor’s seats.

Everyone was puzzled why Ethan did what he did. They thought that he was just venting out his frustration due to everyone mocking him.

But, they would understand very soon why Ethan did what he did.

The moment the next match started, Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret realized what the teenage boy had done, in return for everyone’s scorn.

“Did he really think this far ahead?” Professor Rinehart muttered. “If so, he is either very bold, or simply a genius.”

The Headmaster of Barbatos Academy, and the Former Head of the Magistratus was amazed by Ethan's strategy.

A strategy that would force the Headmaster to ban several spells in the tournament, to prevent a repeat of what Ethan had done that day.
