Chapter 48: Number 28 wins
Two seconds...Alex had used two seconds to complete his star pattern!
The vice dean, Laura, as well as the few teachers who had been paying attention to him, were shocked by what they saw.
’H-how is this possible? How can this happen?!’ Laura’s shoulders were trembling slightly as she questioned herself. Alex’s casting speed was just as fast as hers!
’This is getting even more interesting,’ the vice dean thought with a smile. She had seen Alex’s relaxed expression when he connected his star pattern in under two seconds; it was as if it wasn’t a big deal to him.
The entire field remained silent for some time as the students shifted their gazes from Alex to the lightning mage who had been knocked off stage. Alex’s eyes were still glowing with the light of his element, and his hand was still stretched out in a grabbing motion. His opponent, the lightning mage, was currently trying to stand up, but his entire body was trembling.
He looked like he was in so much pain.
The students finally returned to their senses after a few more seconds, and the field went into another uproar.
"A-alex, won?"
"How’s this possible? How did that idiot lose to a trash?!"
"But his casting speed...I didn’t see it properly. Did he really just reach the Adept mage rank?"
"Cheat, he definitely cheated!"
