Chapter 47: Number 28’s turn
With the announcement of Laura’s victory, the students erupted into cheers. Almost everyone had expected her to win.
Facing the cheering crowd, Laura remained calm as she slowly walked out of the ring, but only after shooting one more hateful glare at Alex.
As for her opponent. The wind mage girl was still conscious and could still stand on her own. The teacher had caught her in the air previously to avoid further damage when she hit the ground.
The girl was currently standing quietly in a corner of the ring with one of her hands hugging her other arm, her head lowered, and a gloomy atmosphere surrounded her as she listened to the cheers of the crowd that were not aimed at her.
A few burnt marks could be seen here and there on her uniform and yellow cloak.
"You did well, kid, don’t blame yourself." The teacher standing next to the girl said with a sincere tone.
Not just him, the vice dean, the other teachers, as well as Alex, felt that the wind mage wasn’t bad at all, and her strategy had been effective. Laura’s casting speed was just too fast, though she probably would have done better if she had a magic item to assist her.
But who would use a magic item in such a small competition?
After she was escorted out of the ring and students calmed down, the next set of students was called on stage to fight.
Although the rest of the fights were exciting for the students, they didn’t cheer as much as they did during Laura’s fight. This made the following fights look dull.
After another hour had passed and most of the students had fought, it was finally Alex’s turn.
