Chapter 314: Academy Battle Livestream

"Edison, go and block that," Matson spoke with his gazes kept locking at Desmond.

The frozen giant wave in front of them already melted and spilled on the ground while the upcoming earth spikes were moving in fast toward them.

*boom* *boom*

Every time an earth spike popped out from the ground, it left the ground tremble and scattered some small dirt around. The meadow was cut off while the spikes were kept standing still.

"Jezz, at least say help," Edison grunted, but when he was silent upon glared by Matson. The energy around him began to gather on his hand while his mouth already muttering the chant.

"Uproot!" As soon as these words were spoken, a large magic circle appeared beneath them along with many roots that emerged from the grounds, forming a root loop for them to stand on.

The root loop then slowly raising upward at the level they were hovering a bit from the ground. Matson and his group looked down at Desmond, who had a calm face while facing the black-haired girl's attack.

Meanwhile, Edison, who was casting the spell, was seen sweating as another magic circle kept appearing on the ground, making another root was popped out and then rushed toward the earth spike.

*sprout*

These roots, like a snake, dig into the ground and then spread ahead meters, completely messed the ground and the meadow while destroying every earth spikes that attacking.

These bystanders were silent; the situation was so intense that they could not utter words as their eyes followed each of those contestants' positions.

On the other hand, when Elizabeth and her group saw the incoming attack, her eyes brows knitted as she gazed at Desmond, who had his back at her.

"Your-Elizabeth, let me handle this," Diana steps forward and stands beside her while holding her faint great sword. The valkyrie armor on her body was emitting hot air toward the surrounding.

Her expression was really awkward as she tried to speak normally as she suggested before. However, doing and thinking were entirely different than what she thought.

Elizabeth looked at her for a moment and then smiled at her words," Be careful." she and the rest of her teammates stepped backward, giving Diana more space for her to utilize her spells.

"Thank you, your hig- I mean Elizabeth," Diana replied in a shy, but suddenly she could felt another strange feeling on her body. She turned her head and saw Elizabeth was casting a spell on her.

"This is for your safety," Diana nodded at her words and then refocused back at the upcoming attack.

You are really strong, just like my father said, Diana thought while glancing at Desmond, who was focusing his full attention on the black-haired girl.

Diana bit her lower lip upon seeing how close the black-haired girl was to him. At the same time, her heart was beating fast as she witnessed how strong and powerful Desmond was.

And I won't lose to you! As she thought this, her mouth already chanting a spell, making the energy gather around on her Great Sword, summoning out a magic circle.

"Blade of judgment!" When the words were spoken, the faint great sword on her hands turned into a real silver Great Sword with a burning light surrounding its blade.

Diana's eyes fluttered as her hands swung the Great Sword and then slashed to the ground. The burning light expanded into big light with the size almost reached the hovering square.

*crack*

As soon as the Great Sword touched the ground, a crack slowly emerged from its tip, expanding forward and collapsing the ground structure that made a huge pith.

*boom*

The earth spikes coming toward them were destroyed in the process, along with some meadow scattering around.

Meanwhile, in Weston's office,

Weston was seen sitting with a joyful expression while holding a cup of tea," She really is Vesta's daughter," he smiled upon seeing her talent in magic. He could even say her talent among the younger generation could be considered as genius.

"She must really work so hard to reach her father's achievement," meanwhile, Jessy was seen sitting not far from Weston while smiled upon seeing Diana's move.

"That kid also not bad. He can gain the trust of his teammates and utilize their power to the maximum," Jessy added while her attention shifted toward Matson and his group.

"Who is that girl? Why did she suddenly attack him while the other still trying to understand the situation?" Weston asked as he glanced at Jessy, who had a calm face upon facing with his question.

"It's a secret principal. If you can have a secret, why I can't?" Jessy slyly replied and then giggled, making Weston shook his and give up finding the answer.

"I see, so she was under your guidance. Good job to found a talented student. But this match can be considered as his win," When Weston spoke that, he looked at Desmond, who had a face as if he already controlled all of the situations.

Desmond even didn't look tired after casting that multiple attacks. Jessy turned silent upon his words. She just observed Desmond without uttering any opinion.

...

Meanwhile, the battle on the academy was broadcasted live with a hovering screen on each district.

Laura and Annie were seen holding their hands tightly and placed on their chest while their attention was focused on the screen.

"EH? Are my eyes are wrong, or does young master seem to become more handsome?"

"Your eyes not wrong, young master is always handsome, but in this battle, he looked more handsome compared to other young people!"

Although they did not utter a single word, the maids behind them were whispering to each other. However, no one of them doubts nor questions Desmond's action.

"Go, young master, go! Hahaha," While the guards were making a gamble and shouted while his hand was holding a cup of beer.

"I know the young master could not lose to that baby!"

"Hahaha! Right? If he loses, then he is just another baby!" however, as soon one of the guards spoke those words, he was forced into silence when glared at by Annie and Laura.

"Can you keep your mouth shut up!" Laura shouted angrily at the guard, who spoke badly about Desmond. Her chest raised up and down repeatedly while her red eyes glared at the guard, which made him back off and apologized.

The other guards were holding their laughter upon watching their friend got scolded. Only after Laura left they were laughing loudly and mocking him.

"Eat that shit! Hahaha"

"Who told you mock young master in front of these ladies!"

"Yo- you guys, you should tell me!" The guard who got mocked was speechless upon seeing his friend's behavior.
