Chapter 137: Arcana Primis Cup: Grand Finals (1)
"Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve received confirmation from the organizers. The battle to decide the brightest star of this batch is about to begin!" announced Akari, her voice vibrant and clearly matching the crowd’s excitement.
It was time for the grand finals of the Arcana Primis Cup, and the first to emerge from his tent and make his way toward the stage was Hal.
"Hailing from the illustrious Grand Magic Academy, this freshman went from questionable qualifications to demolishing everything and everyone in his path. He carved his own way forward by toppling other young geniuses, including one of his seniors from the academy, and secured his place in the grand finals through a series of thrilling battles. Give it up for Hal Fennec!!"
After him came the indigo-haired Felix, wearing the same relaxed and aloof expression as always.
It was as if he didn’t see his opponent as a threat at all.
Hal could finally understand why Felix was so confident, though.
After hearing about the properties of void magic from Headmistress Isolde, and knowing that one’s manabound artifact granted a one-hundred-and-twenty-percent boost in this rare element, it was easy to see why someone like Felix would have a hard time feeling threatened by others his age.
This specific element was also among the biggest reasons why the fell race managed to defeat even the dragonkin, the race blessed by the gods.
The bastards were children of the void, after all.
Of destruction.
Locking eyes with Felix, there was no animosity, only curiosity and a bit of a bad impression on Hal’s part due to the bastard’s history of ruining Fernan, while the young master of the Dargon Clan remained quite apathetic, despite this battle being the most important one of their batch and generation.
