Chapter 44 Resonance
Silence.
Complete and utter silence.
Every student in the arena was dumbstruck. Their eyes were popping out and their jaws were nearly touching the floor.
Suddenly, amidst the stifling silence there was the sound of loud laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Edward stood up in his seat and raised his fists in the air. He cheered enthusiastically, "Go get her, Adam!"
Adam looked in the direction of his roommate and smirked. He gave him a thumbs up and replied, "You know it!"
Everyone came to their senses after this short interaction. They couldn't believe what had just transpired. At once, the audience burst into loud discussion.
"Heavens! Am I dreaming?!"
"Did the farm boy just land a punch on Lisa?" New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
"Wait a minute! Wasn't he drunk?"
"He was definitely acting!"
"So deceitful! Lisa, you must show him his place!"
"Yeah! Beat this treacherous clown!"
At a certain area in the bleachers, Kevin, Jeffrey, and a bunch of other students in the same group were looking with shocked expressions.
Kevin's eyebrows furrowed and his fists clenched in anger. He looked at Jeffrey and asked, "This Adam, he's from the same kingdom as you, isn't he?"
Jeffrey spat through gritted teeth, "As much as I hate to admit it, he is."
Kevin's eyes narrowed, his next words oozing with killing intent. "Hmm, I'll send some mercenaries to slaughter his family. That should annoy this peasant a little, don't you think?"
Hearing those words, everyone including Jeffrey felt a chill down their spines. Although Jeffrey had thought of threatening Adam with his family before, he had never thought of killing them. Besides, he couldn't even if he wanted to.
Realizing this, he placed his arm on his chest and exaggeratedly bowed like a stage performer. "Thank you, my lady."
"Hmph!" Lisa harrumphed. Adam's theatrics were now beginning to annoy her.
Without speaking another word, she began weaving hand motions to cast her spell. Adam's eyes narrowed and instead of making distance from the spell's range, he charged headfirst. His plan was to interrupt Lisa's hand motions!
What was the number one reason for a Magus's spell to fail? It was the interruption of their magical components!
But he had severely underestimated this genius. Lisa's hand speed was many times faster than Adam had expected. And before he'd even reached her, a bright magic circle had already appeared on Lisa's palm as she slammed her palm to the ground.
Rank 1 Spell: Shape Earth!
A thick earthen wall was erected in front of her. Seeing this, Adam simply snorted. "How lame!"
He quickly approached Lisa, planning to circumvent the wall and attack her. But much to his surprise, Lisa had already cast the same spell once again and placed her palm on the wall.
Following that, close to a dozen earth spikes were formed on the earthen wall! The thickness of the wall continued to decrease as the earth spikes were formed.
And then...
PEW! PEW! PEW!
The earthen spikes flew toward Adam at lightning speed.
Seeing this, Adam's eyes widened in shock. He wasn't shocked seeing the incoming projectiles but at the ingenuity of Lisa's spell casting.
This spell could be said to be one of the most versatile spells amongst rank 1 spells, but most of it depended on the spell caster's creativity.
Heh, so what? Adam grinned like a madman.
Time to test out that move!
Instead of dodging the incoming earth spikes, he ran towards them. Finally, he would be able to use the ability that he had developed with the help of the white lotus.
