Magic System in a Parallel World-Novel

Chapter 160 3 Seconds

After being sent flying off the stage by Leo's Fire Blast, the Flying Leviathan Academy's student landed many meters away from the stage, and since he'd lost consciousness right after the blast, he did not try to stand up after his landing.

The audience and the entire stadium was dead silent after what they had just witnessed, and most of them couldn't believe their eyes.

Leo, who had only started learning magic a little over a month ago, could not only silent cast but also unleash such a powerful Tier 2 magic spell.

The Flame Blast released by Leo had so much magic power behind it that it could rival even a fully overcharged Tier 4 magic spell.

The medic on standby were the first to snap out of their daze, and they quickly rushed to see the student's condition.

Once they realized that he was still alive, they brought him out of the stadium on a stretcher.

"W-What the hell was that? What the hell just happened?!" Someone in the crowd suddenly demanded for an answer, his voice filled with bewilderment.

"That Leo had just defeated one of the top magic students in the Flying Leviathan Academy with a single magic spell!"

"Unbelievable! What kind of magic spell did he use just now?! That power— it must've been at least a Tier 5 magic spell, right?!"

"Idiot! That was just a Flame Blast! It's a Tier 2 magic spell!"

"Tier 2 magic? There's no freaking way! That power is too strong for a mere Tier 2 spell! It probably just resembles Flame Blast!"

"Are you trying to say that he'd managed to learn a Tier 4 magic spell in a month, not to mention that he has acquired enough experience to silent cast it?! I will not believe it even if you beat me to death!"

The stadium was in an uproar as thousands of spectators argued with each other about Leo's magic spell.

Meanwhile, Valery and the others were left speechless by his performance. There were many things about his performance that were shocking and even somewhat impossible.

First of all, the fact that he could silent cast a Tier 2 spell after just 2 months is nothing short of amazing. Then combined with his casting speed, his magic talent could be considered monstrous. However, that wasn't the end of it, as his magic power also seemed to be unrealistically powerful for someone who supposedly only started learning magic a month ago.

All in all, after just a single match that lasted for less than a minute and using a single Tier 2 magic spell, many people there could see that Leo had immense potential when it comes to magic.

"This ended faster than I would have liked. How disappointing. I'm not even satisfied." Leo sighed despite winning his first match.

He wanted to stay for another match or two, but Eve had told him that he was only allowed to participate in one match, so he reluctantly began walking off the stage.

However, right as he took two steps, someone shouted, "Hold it right there!"

Leo halted his steps and turned to look at the student who just spoke.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?! You think you can just leave after humiliating my friend and academy like that?! And let's be clear— you only won because you were lucky!"

"..."

After staring at this student for a moment, he turned to look at Eve and spoke, "Just one more, okay? I swear, this will be the last one."

"Alright." Eve reluctantly nodded.

A smile appeared on Leo's face as he turned around and returned to his previous location.

"You think I won because of luck? Then you best hope that you're luckier than me, or you will end up just like your friend." Leo spoke with a provocative smile.

"YOU BAST—" The student suddenly pointed his rod at Leo.

However, an angry voice thundered the very next moment, "The match has not begun yet! If you attack before the match officially begins, you will be disqualified!"

The student snapped back to reality and bowed to Thalia, who just spoke.

"Thank you, Miss Laurens. I got a little heated there and lost myself for a second."

"There will not be a second time." Thalia snorted.

Before the match began, Leo raised his hand and showed his opponents three fingers.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" The student asked him.

Leo smiled and said, "I will defeat you in three seconds."

The student was immediately enraged, "I really want to see how you'll defeat me in less than three seconds!"

The buzzer resounded a moment later, signaling the start of the match.

Before the buzzer even stopped, Leo took half a second to raise his arm and aim at his opponent.

Then he used 2 full seconds to cast and overcharge his Flame Blast as much as possible before releasing it within the last half a second.

BOOM!

The exact same scene as the last match happened as Leo's opponent was sent flying out of the stage.

"Holy shit! He ended the match as soon as it started! Leo— he's the real deal!"

Some of the audience began seeing Leo in a new light because of his immense talents.

However, there were still people who doubted his ability, and this accounted for the majority of the people there.

"Hahaha! This idiot must have trained nothing but Flame Blast over the past month, hence why his Flame Blast is so powerful! Hell, I am even willing to bet that he doesn't know any magic spells besides Flame Burst!"????n????rℯ????????. ????o????

"A fluke! It's all just a fluke!" Another said.

After defeating his second opponent, the third participant entered the stage and demanded that Leo fight him.

However, Leo wasn't having any of it this time, and he spoke, "Nah. You're not worthy."

And without saying anything else, Leo walked off the stage and returned to Eve's side, who was smiling from ear to ear for some reason.
