Chapter 14
Saint Nad Magic Academy’s Fastest Knockout Legend!
Henry felt from the very beginning that there was nothing wrong with being a villain.
For him, whether villain or hero, what mattered was only his own beliefs.
He silently took a step back while lifting his head to look at Luning on the platform.
Seeming to notice Henry’s gaze, Luning frowned, not quite understanding what Henry wanted to do.
But very quickly, Henry’s voice let everyone on the scene hear his thoughts.
“Luning, after Carey rolls off, you’re next.”
That’s right, Henry was calling out Luning by name.
Setting aside how Luning always liked to cause trouble for him, looking like he needed to step on Henry to highlight his own abilities.
Furthermore, he wanted to give Lore Rumelter a harsh slap in the face.
He wanted to let the whole world know that he, Henry, didn’t need to depend on the Rumelter family. Instead, the Rumelter family’s genius would be trampled under his feet.
Thinking of this, Henry’s eyes suddenly turned gloomy.
This made cold sweat break out on Luning’s back.
His breathing became heavy, his fists clenched tightly, as if suppressing his anger.
Over here, Carey had just steadied himself. He raised his staff and pointed it at Henry, while beginning to chant spells under his breath.
Seeing this, the Assessment teacher on the side also retreated from the field and announced the start of the match.
“Henry, go die!”
As his words fell, the staff in Carey’s hand erupted with icy coldness.
The surrounding frost mist condensed into ice crystals, and suspended hexagonal prisms refracted cold blue light. Carey’s fingertip traced across the frosted staff, and ice spikes spread across the ground like a spider web.
The entire ground seemed to be covered by solid ice, spreading toward Henry’s feet.
This type of controlling ice magic was quite common.
If Henry were a fire mage, he could use flames to melt it.
But Henry was just an ordinary person with no magical power – he had no way to deal with Carey’s move.
Just when everyone was thinking this, Henry made a move that surprised everyone.
He inserted his sword blade into the floor, then flipped over and stepped on the sword handle.
“Eliminating you is simple.”
After Henry said this, he launched himself from the sword handle.
In Carey’s vision, Henry seemed to be flying through the air as if using magic.
His figure drew closer and closer, like an arrow coming straight at him.
Carey instinctively wanted to use his staff to block.
But Henry’s arm directly clamped around his neck, heavily slamming Carey’s entire body to the ground!
Pa da!
Carey seemed to clearly hear something in his body snap.
Even more terrifying was that Henry’s face now wore a bloodthirsty smile.
The brick floor was smashed with several obvious cracks.
Fresh blood spurted directly from Carey’s mouth.
He lay on the ground with his consciousness fuzzy, his body’s bones feeling like they’d been crushed.
At this moment, all he felt toward Henry was fear.
Didn’t he know no magic at all? Then how could he possibly fly through the air? And this monster-like strength – was he really human?
Henry elegantly landed on the ground.
He turned his back to Carey, not even needing to worry about whether Carey had the ability to stand up.
He looked toward Luning on the platform, then extended his hand and beckoned to him.
“Time to come down, Luning. As the future Family Head of the Rumelter family, you can’t refuse a challenge, or you’ll become a stain on the Rumelter family.”
Hearing these familiar words, Luning suddenly stood up and glared furiously at Henry.
This was exactly what he had always said to Henry in the past.
It was precisely because of this that he had an excuse to vent his anger on Henry.
Only when he saw Henry beaten unrecognizably by himself did he feel satisfied.
Now Henry still wanted to challenge him – it was simply absurd!
Did he think he could ambush him again like last night?
“Henry, you’ve already defeated Carey. There’s no need to continue.”
The teacher behind Henry, after checking that Carey had lost consciousness and was about to declare Henry’s victory, heard Henry say this.
To be honest, although Henry was a student with no magical power, his powerful physical body was still talent worth cultivating.
Saint Nad Magic Academy was fundamentally a place that taught students to fight.
If a student without magical power could defeat a genius with magical power, wouldn’t that prove this student was even more genius than the genius?
Therefore, he didn’t want Henry to miss this opportunity.
“Thank you for your kind intention, teacher, but this is a private grudge.”
The frost mist on the ground gradually dispersed.
Carey lying on the ground was also carried away for treatment.
Instead, Luning walked down from the platform step by step, his eyes remaining fixed on Henry throughout.
This behavior from both of them was like a destined duel.
But Henry felt that Luning was really wasting his time.
What the hell are you posing for!
I’ll kick you to death in a moment, you roadside punk!
On the platform, Jessica stared gravely at Luning.
She could feel that Luning seemed to be gathering powerful magical power, while Henry looked completely unconcerned.
Was it because Henry couldn’t sense magical power?
She really wanted to call out and warn Henry, but her current position didn’t allow her to do so.
Stupid Henry, hurry up and get serious!
If you lose here, I won’t forgive you!
Sherisa also put down her leg and seriously watched Henry on the field.
If the previous Carey was just small-scale fighting, then this current battle would truly determine who was the real candidate for the Rumelter family.
However, in her mind, Henry still had the advantage, because he still had many mysteries about him.
Henry, I hope you won’t disappoint me…
On the platform.
“It seems Lore Rumelter also has times when he misjudges people. I didn’t expect his child to be so powerful.”
Principal Merlin seemed satisfied with Henry’s performance, and a smile actually appeared on his serious face.
But the Dean of Instruction beside him reminded him.
“He’s just an ordinary person with no magical power.”
“So what? Every student has their own unique talent. Just because they lack magical ability doesn’t mean we shouldn’t teach them, does it? That’s not Saint Nad Magic Academy’s teaching philosophy.”
Principal Merlin gazed at Henry’s back, looking like he’d made some important decision.
“Besides, letting these originally comfortable geniuses get nervous is also a good thing, isn’t it?”
In the spectator seats, several gazes were fixed on Henry.
But Henry himself lacked this self-awareness.
When Luning walked onto the platform, Henry couldn’t help but shake his head.
“Will you die if you don’t show off? It’s just two steps and you have to walk over so slowly. Even the old lady selling popsicles outside the academy runs faster than you.”
Luning didn’t respond, but from his eyes, you could see he was finally about to release his anger.
The originally clear sky instantly darkened, as if a storm was approaching.
Above the dueling platform where dark clouds churned, Luning’s fingers suddenly traced strange arcs, and dark purple incantations condensed into a vortex in his palm.
When the first obscure syllable squeezed out from his throat, the air suddenly froze!
A cold gleam tore through the rain curtain, and a flying sword wrapped in fierce sword intent pierced through his body.
Luning’s pupils contracted sharply, his unformed magic collapsed with a thunderous crash, dissolving into stardust that scattered in the sudden rain.
He staggered backward and fell, raindrops that hadn’t yet fallen from his hair tips refracting broken light in the sword blade’s cold gleam.
And in the distance, Henry stood with his hands behind his back, sword tassels fluttering in the fierce wind, as if the moment that had just severed life and death was merely brushing away a speck of dust with his sleeve.
Saint Nad Magic Academy’s fastest knockout legend was born!
