Chapter 168 Flame Wall

As the fire wall around Opal Tempest soared higher and higher, the audience stood from their seats once again from shock.

"I-Impossible! This magic is Flame Wall— a Tier 4 spell!" Kevin exclaimed when he saw the sky-high flames on the stage.

"First Flame Dash and now Flame Wall…? Just how much more power is he hiding…?" Helia mumbled in a dazed voice as she stared at the fiery scene before her.

Meanwhile, the spectators were so shocked that they couldn't believe their eyes.

"It took me 6 months to learn a Tier 4 spell, yet he's managed to do it in less than a month?! This guy is insane!"

"Do you think this is because of the Fruit of Magic Awakening? What if it does more than just awaken one's magic? What if it can boost their talent as well?!"

"Fuck! That would make the Fruit of Magic Awakening even more valuable!"

"And that will make Leo's crime of eating it even more heinous!"

While the students and ordinary spectators in the audience cursed Leo, those with influence and from powerful backgrounds were thinking about something else.

"Although he's quite the controversial topic, we cannot ignore his talents, and the heat will eventually die down. I think I might recruit him into our family." The representative from the Thorns Family said.

Naturally, she wasn't the only one with such thoughts, as the other three families were also thinking about adding Leo to their family.

"That will depend on your capabilities," said the representative from the Tempest Family.

"Are your families running out of talent or something? While it may seem like he has some talent, I don't think he's worthy of our attention." The representative from the Scarlet Family snorted with an arrogant look on his face.

The representative from the Light Family remained silent, but one can tell by looking at his face that he was in deep thoughts.

Meanwhile, inside the Flame Wall, Opal was barely able to defend herself from the intense heat that evaporated her water barrier faster than she could fix it, and she did not have enough mana to break out of the Flame Walls.

'Damn it! Is this how I will lose?! To a newbie magic user who has only studied magic for a month?!' Opal gritted her teeth in frustration, but there was nothing she could do in this situation but wait for her defeat.

In the end, she decided to deactivate her water barrier and focused on breaking the Flame Wall even if it meant using all of her mana.

"Water Eruption!"

Opal ignored the burning sensation on her body and endured the pain while she cast a Tier 4 magic spell, which ended up using the rest of her mana.

BOOM!

A flow of water erupted before her and attacked the deadly flames.

When the two magic spells collided with one another, it produced a large amount of steam that quickly filled the stage.

Opal had managed to weaken the Flame Wall, but she quickly realized that she did not defeat it, and within moments, the Flame Wall surged again.

"Aaaaah!"

Without any mana left to protect her, Opal felt as though she was being baked inside an oven, and her skin felt like it was burning away.

Leo eventually deactivated the Flame Wall.

Once the flames died down, the audience could finally see Opal again, and she was lying on the stage with the majority of her clothes burned away. However, her skin appeared to be fine, only looking slightly rosy, almost as though she had accidentally slept in the sun for too long and received sunburn.

"Winner, Leo Magnus! Congratulations to the Four Witches Academy for acquiring their 6th point!" Thalia announced as her gaze was fixated on Leo for some reason.

A few female staff members quickly approached the stage and covered up Opal's body with a towel before carrying her away.

Leo didn't linger around and quickly got off the stage, where Kevin and the others were waiting for him.

"What's wrong? You don't seem satisfied. Were you hoping that I would lose? Sorry, but I don't plan on losing. I am going to win every match until the end of the tournament." Leo said when he noticed their weird expressions.

And he continued, "And don't try to talk me out of it. You were the ones who came up with this idea."

"Who said anything about talking you out of it? And I do not regret it." Kevin said with a nervous smile on his face. "After all, I finally got to see what you're truly capable of. Now the question is how long you'll be able to keep this up."

"Is that so?" Leo casually shrugged.

"Anyways, I'm tired, so I am going to rest in the waiting room. Call me when I need to enter the stage again."

Eve then said, "We won't be participating in any more matches for the day so you can go back to the hotel if you want. I will let Camille escort you back."

"Okay." He nodded.

Camille showed up shortly after to escort Leo back to the hotel while the others remained with Eve. Even though they no longer had any more matches for the day, it would be disrespectful of them to leave before they are officially dismissed.

"Headmistress… Just what kind of training did you make Leo go through? I cannot imagine how he can become this powerful in just a month." Valery suddenly asked her.

Eve smiled and said, "My training methods are a secret."

However, the students didn't give up and continued to ask her questions regarding Leo.

"How are you feeling?" Camille asked Leo as they drove back to the hotel.

"I don't know… A little underwhelmed?" He sighed.

"I thought these students would be much stronger, but I guess I was wrong. I had set my expectations too high."

"If you're comparing these students to the Headmistress and Khrome, of course they'll seem weak. The Headmistress is literally one of the strongest Adventurers in the whole city and Khrome has decades more experience than these students."

"I know that, but still…"

Once they returned to the hotel, Leo immediately went to his room to take a shower before retiring for the rest of the day.
