Magic Academy: My Magic Skills Can Automatically Train Themselves 24/7 - Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Chapter 23: Hundreds in Contention, The Final Battle!
Bai Ze’s words struck Liang Rou like lightning, and her pretty face turned ashen-white.
Her hands, which were frozen in the air, couldn’t help trembling. She had not expected that the root of this trouble had sprouted from Zhang Xian’s head.
At this thought, Liang Rou’s doubts were finally cleared. No wonder Bai Ze could arrive here in advance. She didn’t expect that it was Zhang Xian’s doing all along.
At this moment, Liang Rou was starting to feel remorseful. She shouldn’t have exposed herself so early. At the very least, she should have waited until the competition was over before showing her cards to Zhang Xian.
Liang Rou’s heart ached at the thought of her carefully laid-out scheme being ruined by a bootlicker.
Seeing this, Bai Ze, who still had a cocky smile on his face, said, “Oh, by the way, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you.”
“Actually, Zhang Xian had already discussed this with me a week ago. Back then, when he injured me under the camera, it was Zhang Xian and me putting on an act. I earned more than 10,000 bucks from that exercise. At the end of the day, I still have to thank you.”
“Alright, now that we’re done here, are you going to give it to me, or do you want me to take it?”
Bai Ze had a dismissive expression on his face as he quickly walked toward Liang Rou.
At this moment, Liang Rou’s lips were trembling. After knowing the truth behind all these things, she found it hard to accept any of it.
In the end, she became so worked up that the blood vitality in her body reversed its flow.
She felt a sickly sweet taste in her throat, and then she spat a mouthful of blood violently in the next instant.
Looking at the crimson red blood on the floor, Bai Ze immediately stopped in his tracks.
“Good grief, old friend. You only missed an opportunity. Why do you have to take it so hard? Don’t… get carried away!”
Patting Liang Rou’s shoulder, Bai Ze reached out and gently yanked out the small box containing the real badge. He then held it in his hand.
“Thanks.”
Slowly raising her head, Liang Rou’s venomous gaze met Bai Ze’s eyes. He was still grinning away at this moment.
Dong! Dong!
At this moment, the melodious booming of bells rang out outside the window of the storage room. Bai Ze subconsciously looked sideways and found that the sun had become particularly glaring.
It was close to noon.
The mock exam was scheduled to last for two hours. The bell at the school gate would ring in the final 30 minutes and last five minutes of the countdown.
When Bai Ze was on his way to the planetarium, he had already heard the first bell ring. This bell ring meant that the competition would end in five minutes.
The two people in the storage room had completely different expressions when they heard the booming bells.
Liang Rou looked at Bai Ze resentfully and said in a gloating tone, “Haha, you’ve wasted so much time. There are only five minutes left until the end of the competition. Let’s see how you can charge the badge in such a short time!”
According to the information she had received from the Lu family, the badge required a large amount of magic power before it could make any buzzing sounds.
Even for a third ring mage like her, she would need at least ten minutes to accomplish this.
However, there were only five minutes left before the end, and it was impossible for Bai Ze to complete this operation within this remaining time.
This also meant that her opponent would not attain qualification for this competition!
The smile on Liang Rou’s face gradually became more brazen, but just as she was about to mock him…
She saw the badge in Bai Ze’s hand radiate a burst of dazzling light.
Liang Rou could sense that Bai Ze was injecting magic power into the badge at a terrifying speed.
This speed made her panic instantly. If he continued at this rate of charging, it would take at most three to four minutes to complete the charge!
“How is this possible!”
Liang Rou couldn’t help crying out loud!
Bai Ze, who was standing on the side, gave a smirk. The next moment, a set of sharp angular armor appeared on his body as if he was ready for the final battle.
When she saw that Bai Ze was able to cast a spell while charging the badge, Liang Rou’s hair stood on end, and she began to re-examine this guy in front of her.
However, from the battle they had just now, Liang Rou could tell that Bai Ze had mastered at least two rules at the Refinement level, and he possessed an extremely fast spell.
There were probably not many people in the entire school with such remarkable comprehension ability.
Even in terms of overall combat ability, Jiang Qingyue was probably the only one in the class who was ranked above Bai Ze.
The woman she viewed as her mortal enemy and the apple of the Jiang family’s eye used the best precious tools and even obtained the right to go for the Preordained Training Camp in advance.
Her rival’s ability was achieved on the strength of her family’s resources.
However, Bai Ze was only an orphan, yet he had such incredible abilities. It was terrifying!
Buzz!
As Liang Rou was deep in thought, a soul-piercing buzzing sound rang out. The stirring sound wave instantly swept up the dust on the floor and sent it flying throughout the entire competition area.
Even though Liang Rou was mentally prepared, she was still shocked into speechlessness when she saw Bai Ze activate the badge within a few minutes.
“So it’s the real one.”
Bai Ze looked at the glowing badge buzzing non-stop in his hand and could not help but sigh.
It was no wonder the others couldn’t find the badge. They didn’t know that when the principal tossed the badges out, the real badge had already been taken away by the man who had been hiding on the school campus. He even put it in a magic-isolating box.
It was no wonder that Bai Ze could not sense the presence of the badge for a long time.
Just as he was about to say something, he sensed many different types of energy dashing from all directions toward the planetarium!
They were the remaining students who had heard the buzzing sound and were coming over to snatch the badge!
Seeing this, Liang Rou, who was standing at the side, immediately said with gleeful hatred, “Someone will be here soon. Just you wait. I’m going to tell everyone that you stole my potions and badge!”
Liang Rou gritted her teeth and glared at Bai Ze with eyes full of hatred.
However, in the face of the class monitor’s threat, Bai Ze smiled and said, “Hehe! We’re in a society ruled by law now. We need evidence for everything.”
He took two steps forward and stared at the other party with interest. “With which eye did you see me drink the potion? You, on the other hand…”
At this point, Bai Ze took out the miniature camera that was clipped to his collar.
He saw that Liang Rou’s expression had become a little flustered, so he said in satisfaction, “Miss… You don’t want the school to know that you cheated either, do
you?”
Faced with Bai Ze’s aggressive gaze, Liang Rou hurriedly took a step back. She didn’t expect Bai Ze to be so scheming that he had recorded the evidence earlier.
Liang Rou was instantly rendered speechless now that she was caught red-handed by him.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew in from outside the window.
More than a dozen mages with magic rings around their bodies stepped forward and surrounded the entire planetarium in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the situation was not to his advantage and that there was still more than a minute left until the end of the competition, Bai Ze immediately jumped out of the window on the third floor.
He quickly deployed Storm Thunder Flash. The next moment, his silhouette flashed across the vertical wall, and he arrived at the relatively open top floor in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the badge in his hand was still emitting a buzzing sound. Other than the seven or eight students in front of him who were attracted by the buzzing sound, dozens of other figures were also rushing over.
The battle at the last moment was about to erupt!
