Chapter 27: A Great Mage Who was Half a Step Away From Advancing?

Valle originally thought that Andrew would panic after hearing his words. When the time came, he would find a random reason to bring him out of the city and easily kill him with a flip of his hand. Unexpectedly, Andrew only had a cold smile on his face.

“The previous conflict between Rafax City and Faerun city was completely instigated by the other party. They wanted to use the opportunity of the Grand Competition to kill the most talented students in our Academy and at the same time, seize our resources. They have brought this upon themselves.”

“Shut up!”

The more Valle listened, the uglier his expression became. In the end, he directly interrupted Andrew and spat out sound waves from his mouth, which seemed to be the use of a magic technique. Instantly, a loud sound enveloped the entire meeting hall, and a hanging painting at the corner of the wall was even shaken down.

“You’re lying!”

“According to the rules, there is competition between the Associations of the various cities. It is reasonable for Faerun City to want more resources.”

“But you said that they wanted to kill the students of Rafax City. That is nonsense!”

“You were the one who used the battle to kill them.”

Lanza quickly came up to mediate the situation.

“Mr. Valle, you may not know this. But during the battle between beginner mages, Faerun City sent an intermediate mage who wanted to use a magic scroll to launch a sneak attack…”

“What nonsense are you spouting!”

Lanza walked over with a smile on his face, but he was slapped to the ground by Valle.

“Is there a rule in the Academy that says you can’t use a magic scroll?”

“Ah…this…”

Lanza was at a loss for words for a moment.

“Although there is no explicit rule against using magic scrolls, it is a convention that everyone defaults to. Under normal circumstances, no one would use ….”

“Since there is no explicit rule against using magic scrolls, using them is not a valid reason for this Fellow to kill them!”

“Don’t be sophomoric. You’d better admit your mistake immediately and let me take you to headquarters for trial so that you might receive a lesser punishment.”

Valle spoke to Andrew in a threatening manner. All he wanted to do now was to trick the man out of the city first. Following that, his expression changed and he added fiercely, “If you refuse to admit your mistake and surrender, I have the right to represent the Headquarters to abolish the support and transfer of various supplies to Rafax City.”

Before Andrew could speak, Lanza panicked. He ignored the fact that he had just been slapped. With a swollen face, he hurriedly stood up and tried to mediate the conflict between the two men.

“Don’t do that, there must be a misunderstanding!”

The vice president’s mind was also buzzing. Unexpectedly, Andrew just smiled casually.

“What does it have to do with me if you stop the transfer of resources to Rafax City?”

He said disdainfully, with an expression of indifference. Andrew had already read through all the books in the magic book collection. The magic crystal training room, the most important resource, was not particularly useful to him anymore. So, he was completely indifferent.

“Mr. Smith…”

Lanza was instantly dumbfounded. He could not afford to offend either of these two!

Andrew was not that heartless. He just wanted to use words to test the other side’s reaction.

‘If he is really from headquarters, he won’t overreact. After all, it’s none of his business whether I’ll be put on trial or not.’

‘But if…’

Just as Andrew had expected, when Valle heard this, he was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage.

“Is that so? Do you think that forcefully breaking away your relationship with the Association will be of any use? If you’re not willing to confess, then I’ll beat you until you confess!”

As he said this, a hint of joy flashed in Valle’s eyes. In this situation, he could casually make a move and directly beat Andrew to death. No one else would be able to say anything. This was a good opportunity!

Seeing this, Lanza originally wanted to dissuade him, but seeing that Valle already had violent wind elements gathering in his hands, he suddenly did not dare to move. Fortunately, Andrew helped him out of the situation.

“Vice president Lanza, you should retreat for a moment. The battle between the two of us might cause quite a commotion.”

“Ok! Be careful!”

Lanza said gratefully and directly ran to a corner of the hall, as he was afraid that he would be accidentally injured by the battle between the two of them.

“You’re quite kind,” Valle said calmly.

He had previously obtained some information and knew that Andrew’s strength was quite extraordinary among advanced mages. Even Nolan was no match for him at all, so he used all his strength right from the start! As a wind-element mage, Valle has a unique understanding of the laws of airflow change.

At the moment, he could barely imitate 70-80% of the wind elements in his body to resonate according to a specific frequency. Although it could not be called an arcane, it was enough to add an extremely powerful effect to magic!

“Scythe storm!” Instantly, the sky was filled with violent winds!

Andrew was not in a hurry to make a move. In his opinion, being able to fight with a mage who had slightly comprehended a part of the arcane could also help his cultivation.

‘As expected, this spell has been strengthened a lot.’

One of the most representative laws of the wind element is the violent change of airflow. Mages who master this law will have very furious wind spell effects! The effect of the spell itself on the outside world would cause the airflow to become chaotic. In this chaotic situation, this kind of rule could multiply infinitely based on the original spell. In just a few seconds, the original scythe storm of nearly a hundred wind blades had expanded more than three times! And this was just an effect that was caused by an incomplete understanding of the arcane.

‘A spell of this scale is not much of a threat to me.’

Andrew pondered. If the opponent had used a single-target spell that could kill, he would still have some difficulty dealing with it. But now, it was much simpler.

“Red lotus flare.”

The arcane level runes quickly formed in his mind. Following that, a screen of flames appeared in front of Andrew. In the next second, the flames wrapped around a few wind blades that were closest to him. In an instant, the high temperature of the flames rapidly expanded. In just half a second, most of the wind blades that were floating in the sky were ignited!

The effect of the scythe storm not only did not hurt Andrew but instead became the best accelerant for his spell. Before Valle could react, the endless flames had completely burned his spell. However, this was only the beginning!

Andrew casually used his spiritual power to fiddle with it.

“Now it’s your turn to taste my attack,” he said casually.

Sparks filled the sky as they rushed straight towards Valle. This person did not have a sufficient understanding of the laws, so when the scythe storm was completely ignited in a short period, there was no way for him to generate more wind blades to counterattack! Therefore, Valle was doomed. He hurriedly opened his magic shield but was swallowed by the sky full of flames. A faint scream was heard!

“Now then…”

Andrew walked forward calmly. At the same time, he closed his eyes to sense the power of the previously incomplete laws of the wind element and gained quite a bit of understanding. However, what surprised him was that when he was close to the center of the flames, he discovered that the previously aggressive mage from the Association Headquarters was now in ragged clothes and was escaping rapidly.

Andrew could tell that the other party was heavily injured, but what he did not expect was…

‘This guy ran away in this manner?’

‘He doesn’t even dare to say a single harsh word?’
