Chapter 179: Fiery Competition

After the master of the ceremonies called the headmaster of the academy, he also called the two strongest seishin practitioners in the faculty of the Verrater Academy.

These two teachers were elemental teachers of the students starting from the seventh grade to the tenth grade of the Academy.

They were not just not known for that, they were also known as the Verrater Academy's two guardians.

They were people who were at the same level of seishin cultivation as the headmaster which means that their stature in the Verrater Academy was only a level lower than his. The headmaster was the one who was leading the academy, after all.

After they waved their hands to their cheering students, the two of them decided to sit beside Headmaster Wylris.

These two teachers were his left and right hand in managing the academy. After they sat, the emcee decided to go to the center of the stage and to started his announcement.

He was planning to announce the beginning of the tournament.

He said with his sound-amplifying seishin device, "Midnight is near at hand! We are going to start this New Year event without any further ado! Everyone, let's welcome, the number one contestant of the Fireworks competition!"

An elven boy entered the stage, he bowed to the audience after he reached the center part of the stage. A moment later, he started chanting a seishin spell.

He chanted, in front of all the students and teachers in the center part of the park, "I command thee, ye who constitute strength, blow up anything in thy master's path, Fire Barrage!"

The remaining red seishin essences started to gather around the elven boy when he started chanting. Those red seishin essences started to transform into slivers of fire one by one.

To conjure this seishin spell, the elven boy used many inner seishin essences of his because the fire seishin essences in his surroundings were scarce in the night.

After all of those slivers of fire were formed, all of it started to form into three balls of fire. After he managed to conjure three balls of fire, he decided to launch all of it above himself simultaneously.

A moment later, he had insta-cast a seishin spell toward those balls of fire.

"Wind Crescent Blade!"

After shouting those words, some of the inner seishin essences of the elven boys discharged from his body. A moment later, those inner seishin essences turned into particles of wind which later on formed into three small crescent blade of wind.

Unlike the normal Wind Crescent Blade seishin spell, he conjured three little versions of the original spell at the same seishin essences consumption.

Those three little crescent-shaped wind blades simultaneously hit the three balls of fire that contestant number 1 had fired toward the sky.

The moment those three little crescent-shaped wind blades hit those ball of fire, those balls of fire were all cut those in half.

Right after that, those balls of fire did not explode that but it did something pleasant to the eyes of the spectators.

The balls of fire burst into its two sides forming a pair of wings. It was like seeing three magnificent pairs of wings made up of fire. The only thing that the spectators can do was watch the spectacle in the sky as it dissipated into nothingness.

After all of it completely dissipated into nothingness, the emcee started talking, "What a magnificent sight! Those were some amazing wings of fire!"

He went near the seats where the judges were seating. He asked Teacher Liebe a question. He asked, "Teacher Liebe, what actions do you think contestant number one had done to do that magnificent sight at the sky?"

The emcee gave his sound amplifying seishin device to Teacher Liebe. After that, she explained how the number one contestant had done that sight.

She said, "Contestant number one did some adjustments, not just to the Crescent Wind Blade seishin spell that he conjured, but also to his Fire Barrage seishin."

Teacher Liebe saw that most of the spectators were still confused about what she meant so she explained it further.

She said, "He reduced the concentration of the balls of fire of his Fire Barrage seishin spell so that they would not explode the normal way. The Crescent Wind Blade seishin spell created the impetus of the diversion of the burst of those balls of fire. And that's how this was done by contestant number one."

The emcee thanked Teacher Kyleen for answering and he went right after that to the center of the stage. He continued the competition.

Several contestants finished demonstrating the fire arts that they developed. Some were almost as good as the first contestant while the others were not that bad but not as good.

After contestant number 8 exited the stage, the emcee said to his sound amplifying, "Now, let's welcome, contestant number nine!"

A green-haired young man entered the stage.

Many young ladies in the audience cheered at the top of their lungs.

At the side of the stage, Kraftvoll suddenly felt that something was familiar in that senior at the center stage.

A moment later, he realized that he was that strong senior who defeated one of the enemies he was fighting back with back then.

He tapped his two sworn brothers on their backs. He was extremely shocked after seeing that person again so he wanted to tell it to other people as soon as possible.

When the two of them glanced on his way, he said to them, "The two of you remember that strong seishin practitioner that I told you about, right?"

The two nodded in response to Kraftvoll. He said to them, "That's him! He instantly defeated that enemy that I fought so hard with. Fortunately, I was able to escape his grasp!"

After hearing Kraftvoll's word, Prince Aragorn and Godwin were both shocked beyond belief. After all, every student in the Verrater Academy knew the identity of this man.

After a moment of silence, Godwin decided to talk. He said to Kraftvoll, "You don't know him!?"
