Chapter 16

“Karl!”

“Karl!”

The parade square of Violet High School was filled with cheers.

Those cheers were naturally from the students of Violet High School.

They watched as Karl easily defeated their opponent’s strongest student.

It felt indescribably satisfying.

“Like I said, you can all attack me together.”

Karl said.

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.

Before this, Karl had said that all the mages from Rost High School attack him at the same time.

The teachers and students from Rost High School were furious.

They thought that Karl was being arrogant and ignorant.

But now, after Karl had crushed Sora in the battle, he was not being arrogant when he said the same thing.

He really had such capability.

He was able to fight against all the mages from Rost High School by himself.

At this moment, the students of Rost High School looked at each other. None of them dared to make a sound.

They could not withstand even one attack of Karl’s.

Not to mention, Karl didn’t seem to give his all.

If Karl gave his all, how terrifying would his attack power be?

They didn’t know, but they didn’t want to try.

“Forget it, let’s leave it at that.”

At this time, the teacher leading the team from Rost High School smiled bitterly and said, “We lost.”

He could tell.

Even if all the mages of the Rost High School joined forces, they would not be Karl’s match.

After all, he was already an advanced one-star mage.

Among mages, although it was only one rank apart, the difference was huge.

There was no way Rost High School could win against Karl.

If all the mages from Rost High School attacked Karl together, and were instead defeated by him, Rost High School would become a huge embarrassment.

After all, Rost High School was known as the best high school in Rost City.

However, in this battle, if all its mage students ganged up against a student and were defeated, it would be a huge dishonor.

This would also affect the reputation of Rost High School and its future students.

Therefore, knowing that there was no way they could win, the teachers of Rost High School did not allow the battle to continue.

“It was extremely exciting.”

At this moment, Ivanov, Karl’s teacher-in-charge, looked at the teacher from Rost High School and said, “Both sides have performed well in this challenge. Mr. Sol, your school has won six out of seven battles. On the overall, you still won.”

Although Violet High School had lost overall, Ivanov’s face was full of smiles.

There was no despair nor disappointed expression on his face.

Violet High School lost seven battles and six battles, Karl had restored the school’s honor all by himself during the last match.

The teacher named Zoro from Rost High School said with a complicated expression, “Even though we won, it doesn’t feel good…. Congratulations, Mr. Ivanov.”

The situation was a little strange.

The losing side was all smiles.

On the other hand, the winners’ expressions did not look good.

When Ivanov saw Zoro’s expression, the smile on his face became even wider.

…

When all the students and teachers from Rost High School left, Karl came up to Ivanov and said,

“Teacher, I’ve decided to go to the Holy Vestige Magic Academy tomorrow.”

The surrounding classmates felt sad to part with Karl after hearing what he said.

However, even though they were reluctant, they knew that everyone had their own path to walk.

Separation was only a matter of time.

And Karl.

With his elite magical talent, his future was destined to be glorious and different from everyone else’s.

At noon.

The form teacher, Ivanov, invited the whole class to dinner in a restaurant near Violet High School.

Rimon, who hadn’t shown himself in days, came too.

His chest bandaged up, as were his arms and thighs.

He limped as he walked.

He seemed to be seriously injured.

This surprised the students and Karl.

How did Rimon become like this in just a few days?

“I… I was injured by a magical beast when I went into the wilderness.”

Hearing Ivanov’s question, Rimon stammered.

He would definitely not say that this was caused by the aftershock of Karl’s attack when he had followed him a few days ago.

When he thought of that incident, even though a few days had passed, Rimon still gritted his teeth in anger.

What happened that day was too humiliating for him.

He was seriously injured by Karl, a fellow one-star mage.

Furthermore, after he was severely injured, he had been lying in bed for a few days and only managed to get out of bed the day before.

Thinking of this, Rimon couldn’t help but look at Karl.

His eyes were filled with hatred and resentment.

Karl could sense that Rimon’s attitude towards him was even worse than before.

This baffled him.

Did he do anything to Rimon lately?

Why did the other party behave in this manner?

Was it because he was jealous of his talent?

I guess so.

Then, Karl looked away and stopped looking at Rimon.

After all, he was going to Holy Vestige Magic Academy tomorrow. From now on, they belonged to two different worlds.

And to him, Rimon was just an insignificant character in his life.

He was not worth his attention.

“Damn it!”

Sensing that Karl paid no attention to him, Rimon felt a deep pain in his heart.

He felt resentful, angry, and even a sense of sorrow.

He treated Karl as a big rival.

Even in his dreams, he wanted to trample Karl under his feet.

Karl had become his obsession.

But what about Karl?

He did not care at all. It was as Karl treated him like the flowers and grass by the roadside, like any Tom, Dick or Harry.

This made him feel even more resentful.

“Even though you’re a mage now, you just became one not long ago and you don’t have any real combat experience. When you go into the wilderness, don’t go too deep or you’ll be in danger. If necessary, you should go with your father.”

Ivanov thought that Rimon was really injured by a magical beast.

He reminded him kindly.

“I understand, Mr. Ivanov.”

Faced with his teacher’s kind advice, Rimon could only nod in agreement.

The meal lasted nearly two hours.

After all, in the face of separation, everyone did not have much appetite and focused on chatting.

Karl said a lot during the meal. He felt slightly sad to leave.

After all, he had been in high school for four years, almost 1500 days. It was impossible that he did not develop any feelings for his peers.

And in his class, other than Rimon and a few others, he was on good terms with the rest.

“Karl, pay attention to everything outside. I will always be proud of you. No matter where you are, I believe you will be able to shine!”

After the meal, Ivanov spoke to Karl.

Karl nodded. “I’ll be careful.”

“Brother, have a drink.”

Adrien walked over and thrust the wine into his hands.

Karl smiled and picked up his glass, clinking it with Adrien’s.

He downed it in one gulp.

Later that afternoon, Karl returned to school and went to the headmaster’s office.

He bade Rayne farewell.

After all, Rayne had helped infuse the elements into his body and given him an S-class magic skill.

He was very grateful.

The next day.

He packed up his things and used the large-scale magic teleportation array in Rost City to teleport to the city where Holy Vestige Magic Academy was located.
