However, during the official duel, the two only relied on their witchcraft for a contest, not carrying or using any external objects.
Perhaps this was due to the rules, or maybe an unspoken agreement between Wizard Palo and Peter Lionel.
No matter the reason, it caused a chill to run down Link’s spine.
Be it rules or tacit understanding, it indicated that the occurrence of such duels to the death between members wasn’t uncommon and even normal.
When Antoine Hilton was challenged, among the three wizards, only the Serene Wizard respected Antoine’s wishes.
Wizard Palo and Wizard Cody both implicitly agreed that this duel to the death must take place.
The essence of a wizard is rationality and cold-bloodedness.
At this moment, Link’s understanding of wizards, finally detached from external appearances, pointed directly at one of the essences.
Heaving a deep sigh, Link composed his thoughts, no longer drifting and turned his gaze to the night scene outside the car window.
Then, a sense of indifference gradually appeared in Link’s eyes.
The hovercar moved silently as the nightlife receded outside the window.
After some time, the hovercar stopped at a station outside of the academy.
The second and third-year members of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” couldn’t wait to get off the car, hurrying towards the school.
The aura of coldness gradually emanating from Link caused them to feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Not every new blood of 12,13,14, or 15 years old is like Link or Rivers, stained with bloodshed and responsible for taking a life!
Link deliberately got out of the car languidly, walked out of the station unhurriedly, strolled to a secluded corner, and then quietly waited.
He had previously caught a glimpse of Rivers following his hovercar on a two-wheeled vehicle.
After a moment, the still disheveled, but maniacally looking Rivers slowly emerged from the darkness.
“Link Grande, you are quite bold.”
“Average.”
If it were two weeks ago, Link’s first choice would be to sneak back to the academy.
If he had to fight, he would mainly resort to ambushes and launch several surprise attacks.
Not like now, where he is waiting for Rivers to appear, ready to face off against a damaged Rivers.
People’s thoughts and characters can change.
“Ah-hah!”
Rivers stood afar, spread his hands wide, revealing an unguarded posture, laughing maniacally, “You actually want to kill me! Is it to avenge Antoine Hilton? Or have you felt my threat and wish to erase it in advance?”
Link did not respond, he just prepared to use a great weapon purchased on behalf by the Serene Wizard.
Once the fight started, Link had no plans to simply contend in witchcraft with Rivers. If it could be resolved with a magic tool, he would use the magic tool.
“You don’t want to talk, that’s okay, I’ll talk!”
Rivers’ hands remained spread as he took a few steps back to lessen his perceived threat. Despite his crazed expression, his tone became serious, “You and I are of the same sort. We will do whatever it takes to climb up!
The only difference is that you tread on the broad road of diligent study, while
I chose a shortcut.
From the day I couldn’t resist the temptation and learned the incomplete ‘Rage Inferno Meditation Method’, my ending was destined. There will be no good outcome.
It was the same for Antoine Hilton.
He genuinely thought that as long as he could curry favor with Ayla Smith from the Senior Division and hold on to the president’s position, he could catch Wizard Palo’s eye.
Little did he know, why would Wizard Palo be interested in a bad guy like him who plays mind games and doesn’t manage the ‘New Blood Mutual Aid Association’ efficiently!”
Link frowned. He didn’t understand why Rivers, despite all his effort to bypass Wizard Palo and others, trailing and pursuing him here, only spoke about irrelevant issues.
“What do you want to say?”
Link interrupted Rivers’ verbose explanation, he coldly retorted, “If you want to fight, fight. Why all this unnecessary talk?”
“Haha, haha…”
Rivers laughed heartily, tears rolling down his cheeks from laughter, “You must think I’m mad, with nothing but rage and killing in my mind?”
“Isn’t it?”
Link calmly rebutted.
He never treated Rivers Francis as a normal person from the start.
Being dominated by anger and madness, there’s not much difference.
“Alright.”
Rivers nodded, seeming to agree, “I’ve indeed gone mad, for a long time now!”
Changing his tone, Rivers reined in his maniacal expression, and asked in a solemn tone, “Are you willing to hear the dying words of a madman like me?”
Without hesitation, Link activated a function on his glasses to distinguish disguises and reveal invisibility.
The defensive effect of the “Defender 3202” suit was ready but unharnessed. The cloak and boots were connected, ready to allow Link to move through the air at any time.
After completing all the preparations, Link replied, “You can speak since you own your mouth.”
It’s not that Link didn’t want to initiate the attack, nor that he preferred to play defensively.
But given his current situation, facing a powerful third-class wizard apprentice like Rivers, playing defensively was the most prudent strategy.
“Don’t struggle hard, respond calm, hold on and wait for a change, success in one shot.”
The words of the Serene Wizard still echoed in his ears.
Antoine Hilton, who didn’t heed the advice and choose to confront Rivers, was killed. His tragic fate serves as a warning.
As long as Link utilized the powerful defense advantage of the “Defender 3202” suit, didn’t rush, didn’t provoke, and kept his safety while vying for a win, it should be secure.
He could hold on as long as needed.
He wasn’t in a hurry.
Seeing Link’s approach, Rivers was somewhat surprised.
Is this guy a turtle reincarnated?
He went on so cautiously?
But on second thought, that makes sense.. If this guy wasn’t normally cautious, but also prepared to fight when necessary,
