Chapter 30 - Group Competition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Lorne, why did you come so late?” Yang Kai saw Lorne and asked after meeting him.

“Hasn’t it started yet? Why did you come so early?” Lorne replied casually.

However, his words also drew the rolling eyes of the others. Why did this person not feel nervous at all?

“Everyone is here?”

At this moment, the homeroom teacher also came. He glanced at his students and when he saw Lorne, Zhang Ye could not help but be stunned.

Magic Card Masters were divided into eight levels!

Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Crystal, Star Glory, and King.

Zhang Ye’s Magic Card Master level was not high, but he was also at the level of a 5-star Silver. It was said that he would break through to Gold soon.

Thus, he could tell that Lorne had already reached 5-star Bronze rank. He was just one step away from breaking through to Silver rank.

How long had it been? It had only been a little over a week, and he had already broken through to 5-star Bronze rank?

Zhang Ye recalled his teaching career, but he had never found a student like Lorne.

However, there was one thing that he was sure of, and that was that Lorne’s sealed Magic Card was incredible.

“I heard that it’s a Magical Magic Card. It’s really amazing.”

Zhang Ye could not help but feel excited. It seemed that his reward was about to take off.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye’s gaze toward Lorne became gentler.

“Hiss!” Yang Kai, who was at the side, noticed Zhang Ye’s gaze toward Lorne and could not help but shiver.

“Lorne, why do I feel that the way Zhang Ye looks at you is a little inappropriate? Could it be that he’s that one?”

“F*ck off, can’t you think of something better?”

Lorne snapped back at Yang Kai. He could roughly guess Zhang Ye’s thoughts.

Although his aura had become much more stable, he had not completely controlled it. If he had the intention, he could still see his own condition.

However, he estimated that he would be able to completely control it after today. When that time came, no one would be able to see his true level.

But to be honest, he could not stand a man looking at him like that.

Fortunately, Zhang Ye only stopped for a few seconds before he looked away and began to explain the rules of the competition.

This made Lorne heave a sigh of relief!

…

“Lorne, which field are you in?”

A moment later, Yang Kai waved his number plate.

On the front of his number plate was field 3, and on the back was his participation number.

“No. 1!” Lorne replied. His entry number was near the front, so he should be in the competition soon.

There were about a thousand people in the entire third year of the academy, so the competition this time was a one-round elimination system.

The winner was decided in one round, and everyone only had one chance.

There were a total of eight groups, and the first place in each group would participate in the competition the next day, and the final eight would be decided.

Therefore, the ability of the Magic Card Master was also tested on how to distribute the Magic Cards.

“No. 1? That’s one of the death groups, Lorne!” Hearing Lorne’s number, Yang Kai could not help but say.

“Death group? What’s that?” Lorne could not help but ridicule.

“It’s the participants of your group. They’re all quite strong,” Yang Kai explained.

“One of the favorites to win the championship is also in your group.”

“Favorites? Tell me, who are they?” Lorne signaled Yang Kai to continue.

Since he had nothing to do now, there was nothing to lose by listening.

Although Lorne felt that his chances of winning were quite high, he still understood the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy.

“Fan Ming, Gu Bingrui, and Zhao Changyi. These three are the favorites that always win.”

Lorne had heard of these three people, but the one who had the biggest impression on his mind was Gu Bingrui.

There was no other reason other than the fact that Gu Bingrui was the school belle of their school.

As for the school belle, everyone knew what she was talking about. Just in terms of the topic, Gu Bingrui crushed Fan Ming and Zhao Changyi.

“The school belle is in Group 5, and Zhao Changyi is in group 8. You can ignore these two,” Yang Kai continued, “but Fan Ming is in Group 1 with you.”

“I found out that these people all have two Green-grade Magic Cards!”

Yang Kai could not help but feel envious when he said this.

Ever since Lorne became famous, Yang Kai had been diligently practicing his Magic Card skills for the past two days.

Unfortunately, although his talent was not bad, it was obviously impossible for him to improve in a short period of time.

The only Green-grade Magic Card was still the Wind Wolf!

“Two Green-grade Magic Cards?”

Lorne’s expression did not change much. Although he had the bonus of his talent and the transmigration system, there was no rule that said that other people could not cheat, especially if they were paid to cheat.

If Lorne remembered correctly, these three people’s family conditions were quite extraordinary. If they did not care about the consequences and burned money, it was not impossible for these people to seal a Green-grade Magic Card.

Under the situation where most people only used White-grade Magic Cards, holding two Green-grade Magic Cards in their hands was indeed the hot favorite to win the championship.

“Lorne, I’ll wait for you to meet the master in the finals tomorrow.”

Looking at the time, the match was about to begin. Yang Kai waved his hand and rushed to the venue of his match.

Although the Wind Wolf could not compare to Lorne’s Saber-toothed Magic Tiger, Yang Kai was not competing with Lorne, the pervert. He was still confident in the other people. With the other Magic Cards, he would win the group competition.

After all, there were not many strong players in Group 3.

Seeing this, Lorne shrugged and walked toward the first arena.

…

“Most of them are White-grade Magic Cards. Why haven’t there been any Green-grade Magic Cards for such a long time?”

After watching the match for a while, Lorne thought to himself, ‘However, there are some Magic Card skills that are quite special.’

Special Magic Card skills. For example, he had just seen a Magic Card with a Dice Beast. This Magic Card skill was a gamble, a gamble of luck.

In a match, if one was lucky, they could win. If one was unlucky, they would be sent flying into the ring.

“Next, contestant number 15 will fight contestant number 16!”

Soon, a new match began. This time, Lorne was in high spirits.

There was no other reason because…among the people present, one of them was Fan Ming!

“Fan Ming is here. I heard that he seems to have a Green-grade Magic Card. I wonder what kind of Magic Card it is?”

“A Green-grade Magic Card. If I had one, I might be able to compete for the top three spots in the group.”

“Stop fooling around! Although Fan Ming has a Green-grade Magic Card, he’s not the only one in our group who has a Green-grade Magic Card!”

Following Fan Ming’s appearance, the first arena started to become lively. Many people nearby also ran over.

Seeing such a lively scene, Fan Ming’s expression was still extremely calm. However, his opponent was not in a good mood. He was even very nervous.

“Both sides summon Magic Cards.”

As the referee’s voice fell, Fan Ming and his opponent both summoned their own Magic Cards.

“It’s actually a giant mechanical cannon?” Seeing the Magic Cards that Fan Ming summoned, many people were astonished.

Someone who was close to Fan Ming said, “Don’t underestimate the giant mechanical cannon. Fan Ming’s giant mechanical cannon is currently the Federation’s newest technology!”

It was one grade higher than Yang Kai’s Wind Wolf.

The giant mechanical cannon moved extremely slowly, but its destructive power was extremely shocking!

Other than the giant mechanical cannon, Fan Ming also summoned another Magic Card, the Scarlet Thorn Devil. Although it was only a White-grade Magic Card, its grade was also at the level of an Overlord-grade!

Not counting the giant mechanical cannon, just this Scarlet Thorn Devil’s strength surpassed most people.

Not to mention, Fan Ming also had more than one Green-grade Magic Card!

One of the favorites for the championship was not a joke.

“Attack!”

Fan Ming’s personality seemed to be relatively cold. He did not say much before commanding his two Magic Cards to attack..
