"W-what?"
"He actually agreed to a duel with Oaks?？”
The Resource Hall was silent.
Thousands of students, whether they were freshmen or seniors, were all dumbfounded.
No one expected Laker to agree. He was not afraid of his identity as an Oaks Academy senior and expressed that he could fight him in the arena.
This made everyone feel incredulous.
Ocus was a Grade 2 student of the Dark Shaman Branch, a Level 5 Dark Shaman Apprentice!
Among this batch of new students, even the genius girl Nia, who had the fastest advancement speed, and Silvana, who was from the Dark Conjurer Division, were no match for Ox.
As a Level 5 Dark Shaman Apprentice, Ocus could definitely suppress any freshman.
As for Laker, although he was the Scion of Truth…
However, everyone knew that his body did not possess any elemental attributes, and he could only absorb the Vital Energy of the world to increase the Wizard Power in his body. Even if his Spiritual Power talent exceeded the limit, his advancement speed would still be very difficult to compare to the genius girl Gnia and Dark Wizard Silvana.
Under such circumstances, where did he get the confidence to fight Oaks?
"You agree?"
Oaks was also stunned for a moment.
This meant that even he didn't expect Laker to agree.
He had originally planned to use the arena to force Laker to retreat so that he could return to the Dark Shaman Branch with glory. However, Laker had actually gone against his plan.
"Why wouldn't I agree?"
Laker glanced at him." See you in the arena in half an hour!"”
After saying that, he walked straight to the counter in the resource hall.
His purpose in coming to the Resource Hall was to collect the standard spatial magic bag and wand for wizards. As for the arena duel, it was just a coincidence.
……
Looking at Laker's back, the surrounding students fell silent.
He could not understand where he got the confidence to fight a Level Five Dark Shaman Apprentice. Even the genius girl, Gnia, had only just advanced to a Level-3 Ice Sorceress Apprentice. She was no match for Ocus.
"What is he thinking?"
Oaks looked at Laker who was walking away and frowned.
He thought for a long time, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Could it be that he's planning to use his identity as the Scion of Truth to pressure me?”
"Yes, I am! He's the Son of Truth, the glory of the Lordamere Sorcerer Academy. The higher ups of the academy, even the Celestial Sorcerers of the Holy Tower of Nine Rings, are paying attention to him…"
"If I defeat him, it would be slapping those big shots in the face!”
"In other words, even if he's only a Level-1 Sorcerer-Apprentice now, a hundred times weaker than me, I'll still find a chance to be beaten down by him to prove his title as the Son of Truth!”
"He's tricking me!"
Oaks 'expression was uncertain.
After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and thought,""Being defeated by the Scion of Truth isn't anything shameful. Instead, it allows me to safely withdraw from this matter and prevent others from competing for the right to fight. However, if I win against him, my future days will definitely be difficult. The big shots of the academy will not give me a good look.”
"Therefore, I cannot win this duel no matter what!”
"This is the unspoken rule!"
"Even if I'm stronger than Laker and there's no pressure to defeat him, I still have to lose because he's the Son of Truth and represents the glory of the Lordaimier Sorcerer Academy!”
Oaks exhaled, his face dark.
He felt a sense of defeat as a strong man who had to accept the cruel reality.
In the hall, the seniors were cheering for him."Ocus, we support you! Defeat Laker, and you will stand on the head of the Child of Truth, laughing arrogantly in the entire Magus World!”
"Get lost!"
Oaks felt terrible.
He pushed through the crowd and left the resource hall.
……
"Laker, do you really want to duel with Oaks?”
"Ocus is a Level 5 Dark Shaman Apprentice. He might even be able to summon a group of Skeletal Warriors. His strength is much stronger than us freshmen.”
Lucia, Grom, and the others followed behind Laker, worried for him.
The young noble Colin curled his lips and said," If you can't win, then admit defeat. It's normal for a freshman to be defeated by a senior. Even if your spiritual power talent exceeds the limit, it can't change your fate of failure.”
"Colin, can you stop talking?" Lucia said angrily.”
"But I'm telling the truth," muttered Colin.”
"I really suspect that you've betrayed our freshmen camp!" Lucia said unhappily.”
Looking at the hostile gazes around him, Colin was shocked and quickly explained,"" How is that possible? I'm one of you. I've been bullied by the seniors before…"
"Colin, shut up!”
Colin was speechless.
Laker didn't pay attention to the argument.
To him, the arena duel with Ocus was nothing. At most, it was just a test of his two months of cultivation. It was just a test.
He came to one of the counters in the hall.
Before he could say anything, the wizard at the counter smiled kindly."Laker, are you preparing to go through the rank certification of a Sorcerer-Apprentice?”
There were many benefits to the rank certification.
The higher the rank, the more sorcerer knowledge one could borrow from the academy library.
However, it was not important to Raker. He could read all the wizard knowledge in the academy, including wizard notes, witchcraft spells, potion knowledge, and so on. This was what the principal had promised.
If he were to join a certain division, he would not have to worry about his cultivation resources. That division would be fully responsible for it.
"I'm here to collect my Space Magic Bag and wand," Laker said.”
The Magus behind the counter frowned.
"Generally speaking, the academy isn't responsible for distributing spatial magic bags and wands to students. These two items need to be obtained by the students themselves.”
"But…"
The wizard suddenly smiled." You are the pride of our Lordaimier Sorcerer Academy. Naturally, your treatment is different from ordinary students.”
After saying that, he asked Laker to wait for a moment.
After a while, he returned from the back hall and handed Laker a silver ring with mysterious runes on it.
"This is a spatial magic ring. Its internal space is much larger than a magic bag.”
" It was personally made by Wizard Coton of the Alchemy Sorcerer Division. Wizard Coton is a knowledgeable and wise alchemist master who has made countless rare alchemy equipment..."
"Now, this spatial magic ring belongs to you!”
