Chapter 12: Speed Boost? I Can Do That Too
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This fatty was a famous person in Augustus’ Magic Academy.
The fatty’s name was Ross.
1
Ross was a high-level mage. He started off as the great mage rank in just the first step.
In terms of mage power, the academy had previously held a competition. He was basically in the top ten.
Mage initiate, apprentice mage, mage, great mage.
If Lin En had not appeared just now, everyone in Augustus would have thought that Lin En was a magic apprentice.
Even if he had advanced to the early stages of a mage, no one would have been surprised.
Jeez, Lin En gave everyone the impression that he had been in the Magic Academy since he was three years old.
2
He had managed to get magic apprentices of the same level into the senior grades. Some of the outstanding ones had even become assistant mages and magic instructors.
He was probably the student who had been retained the most times in the entire Augustus Magic Academy.
Yet, he was expelled from Augustus.
2
That fact was inconceivable in the eyes of all the mages.
If that matter was not troublesome enough, he might not have appeared this time.
After all, Aquino had become an angel. The dean was also changed. Who knew if the new dean would take care of him.
Ross smiled and said, “Young Master Lin, you want to challenge me? Oh, I’m soooo scared. What if I hurt you? Now that wouldn’t be good right?”
“The old dean won’t forgive me for sure.”
Ross was the first to admit defeat.
In fact, he and Lin En were classmates, but Ross was now a magic teacher’s assistant.
The expression on Aquino’s face was a little dark as he said, “Lin En, you come over here. Why the hell are you challenging him? Don’t think that you have what it takes just because you’re a mage now. Do you know any magic, even?”
The old dean’s public display of protection made many of them dissatisfied.
But they dared not show it.
What could they do? His background was amazing anyway? The dean was his uncle.
He could stay in the same grade as long as he wants.
He could be this carefree every day and even skip classes.
He could relax and do whatever he wanted. The dean of Augustus was his uncle.
How could an ordinary person compare to him?
Even a prince couldn’t do it. Even if the prince arrived in Augustus, he had to practice magic just like the others.
Now that he noticed that Aquino was so protective of Lin En,
Ross was shocked and thought to himself, ‘I spoke too much just now. I forgot who supports this piece of trash.’
So he smiled and said, “Young Master Lin En, please forgive me. I don’t want to compete with you.”
“It would not be good if I hurt that precious body of yours.”
“Does that mean that you’ll be able to hurt me?”
Lin En ignored Aquino and walked over to Ross.
“Master Lin En, I wouldn’t dare do so–“Ross said respectfully.
“What is Lin En doing? Is he really using his identity to do whatever he wants?”
“Yeah, it seems like he used to snatch my lollipop away when I was young.”
“Yeah, and he even peeped at female mages…”
There were people in the crowd who constantly exposed Lin En’s dirty past.
The look on Lin En’s face was a little dark.
Other transmigrators were all strong and powerful.
On the other hand, why was his reputation this bad?
Today, I’m going to clear my name.
“Alright!” Lin En patted Ross on the shoulder and said, “Let’s get into the ring.”
Ross looked at Aquino.
“Old man, don’t worry about it. Noble mages have their dignity. Now, I’ve been looked down upon,” Lin En said.
Aquino’s mouth twitched.
This is so goddamned embarrassing.
He opened his mouth and said, “Fight then, until the end.”
The fighting ring for mages was very spacious.
It was as big as four or five football fields.
Moreover, the ground here had formations strengthened by the Magic Academy’s instructors.
No one expected Lin En to win this fight.
Lin En’s performance in the Magic Academy was too terrible.
Even though he had become a mage now, it was because he had spent a lot of time on it.
Maybe, just maybe people might have thought that Lin En had consumed a lot of magic-buffing artifacts to increase his magic power.
“Aquino, the 14-star mage god on the Golden Board of Heaven and Earth might actually exist. So it would be best to verify it,” said Omega
Aquino’s eyes lit up.
He flew above the arena and said, “Everyone, everyone is very curious about the rankings on the Golden Board of Heaven and Earth.
“Those who are not satisfied with each other are welcome to fight in this arena.”
The crowd bickered quietly among themselves.
They have been secretly preparing for this moment for a long time.
At the same time, this was also a good opportunity for everyone withing the academy to learn from each other.
“Young Master Lin En, do you want me to hold back and go easy on you?”
Ross said slyly.
Lin En nodded and said, “I will go easy on you.”
A malevolent look flashed across Ross’s Face, but he hid it very well.
Being a mage was a noble profession.
Having one mage out of a hundred people was already good enough.
Most people did not have any talent for magic and had pursued other professions.
Mages were closer to nature than others.
“Alright then, Young Master Lin, here I come.”
After that, Ross raised the magic wand in his hand and chanted loudly, “Noble Wind Sprites, please give me speed…”
Ross chanted his magic very quickly. He chanted hundreds of runes in just a few seconds.
After that, a cyclone suddenly appeared under his feet.
He circled the entire field at high speed for around ten seconds.
The crowd exclaimed in surprise.
“So quick, what a quick chanting of magic.”
Mages of all kinds basically knew magic that increased movement speed.
It was similar to how a person’s five internal organs were divided into five elements. If the kidneys were particularly strong, then they could use water or ice magic.
However, it did not hinder mages from practicing some wind magic either. They only needed a slight boost.
Otherwise, mages with a naturally weaker physique would not be a match for a warrior.
Then, everyone saw that Ross’ entire body was surrounded by a green aura.
“Ah, teacher Ross is using wood magic.”
“Wood magic is very powerful. Even after taking damage, the recovery is far better than other types of magic. So, this is most suitable for a prolonged fight.”
“With the speed of wind magic and the durability of wood magic, I reckon that Lin En will be instantly killed, right?”
“Instantly killed? Who dares to touch Lin En? His uncle is Aquino, isn’t he? You must be joking.”
“The dean can be turned into a piece of trash with just one spell.”
“Young Master Lin En, you’d better admit defeat right now.”
Ross flew around in the sky, his speed made him look like an illusion.
If a mage had his identity crisis solved, then that would be the most troublesome thing.
Lin En stood still and said, “What, are you going to admit defeat?”
The corner of Ross’ mouth twitched. “Since when did a piece of trash dare to challenge me?”
“Earth Elves, aid me in binding –”
Ross shouted loudly and pointed his wand at Lin En’s legs.
In an instant, many vines appeared under his feet.
The vines wrapped around Lin En’s body and wrapped him up like a dumpling.
“Surrender, Young Master Lin En. You’re no match for me.”
Ross said proudly.
However, he was a little surprised. His magic was so impressive, and his chanting was so fast.
Why weren’t there cheers when his execution was this perfect?
Suddenly, he felt someone pat his shoulder.
Ross was so shocked that his hair stood its end. He turned around abruptly and waved his wand.
Lin En turned his body slightly and dodged. “We’re just getting started. How can I admit defeat?”
Everyone was dumbfounded. They did not realize when Lin En had arrived behind Ross.
At this moment, lightning flashed under Lin En’s feet. He was smiling as he looked at Ross, who was very close to him.
Lin En took a glance at the spinning cyclone under Ross’ feet. He nodded and said, “Speed boost? I can do that too, but I’m just a little faster than you.”
