Chapter 169 Lia Scarlet's First Appearance
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After a good night's rest, Leo woke up early in the morning and went downstairs for the hotel's breakfast.
Naturally, there were students from the other schools there, and they would all turn to look at Leo when they noticed his presence in the dining room.
It felt quite awkward for him, but he still ignored all of them and pretended as though they weren't even there.
A few minutes after he sat down at an empty table and began eating his food, he noticed a figure sitting right in front of him.
"Normally, one would ask if they could sit at a table if there is already somebody there. It's called being polite." Leo spoke as he looked at the person who just sat before him.
"You dare to talk about being polite when you basically stripped me naked in front of tens of thousands of people?" A cold voice resounded.
This person was Opal Tempest, who he defeated yesterday and also stripped naked with his Flame Wall.
"If you want to blame something, blame the nature of this world. Fire burns things. If you want me to apologize for burning your clothes, you might as well ask me to apologize for fighting you." Leo calmly said.
"You sharp-tongued bastard…"
"Did you come here just to curse at me? If you're going to eat, hurry up and eat."
"Hmph!" Opal coldly snorted before she ignored him and started eating her food.
'This bastard doesn't give a damn about my background, almost as though the Tempest Family isn't in his eyes!'
This is the first time a commoner like Leo dares to disrespect her so openly, and it made her incredibly frustrated. However, there was nothing she could do. If she causes any commotion or hurts Leo during the tournament, her entire academy will be dragged down with her, and they would be disqualified from the tournament, regardless of her background.
After quickly finishing his breakfast, Leo left the dining area and gathered with the others in the lobby before they made their way back to the stadium.
Inside the waiting room for the Four Witches Academy, the atmosphere was quite tense, and Leo could feel the others' gaze on him.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and in the end, he remained silent until they were called onto the stage.
[Four Witches Academy] versus [Maxon Academy]
"Um… Does your 'fight until you lose' challenge apply to us as well?" Cora asked him.
Since only the magic students agreed to it, she wasn't sure if it applied to them as well.
And that is exactly what Leo said, "Since the agreement was only between me and the magic students, it wouldn't be fair to drag you into it, so you can go first if you want."
"Okay." Cora nodded.
Unlike the magic students that already have plenty of fame, she wanted to stay in the spotlight a little longer.
Cora entered the stage shortly after.
Several minutes later, she walked off the stage with a victory.
Julian approached the stage next, and he went on to defeat the next two opponents, granting them another point.
Compared to the Red Moon Academy, the Maxon Academy wasn't anywhere as powerful, so they had no trouble during their matches.
Once Julian got off the stage, Leo entered the stage and waited for his opponent for the Magic Tournament.
"Leo is going to fight first?" The audience were surprised.
They expected for the others to go first since he had his spotlight yesterday, but that didn't appear to be the case.
When the match began, Leo immediately blasted his opponent off the stage with a quick and powerful Fire Blast.
"He's gone back to using Fire Blast!"
"His opponents are probably too weak to make him use anything stronger."
After the first match, Leo stayed for the second match, then the third.
"Does he intend on fighting everybody today?! Are the others okay with this? He's hogging all of the spotlight!"
A few more moments later, Leo won all five matches within minutes and gained the Four Witches Academy their 8th point.
It was a flawless victory, and he made it seem effortless.
The other participants didn't want to admit it, but they could no longer take Leo as a joke. In fact, he'd become a real menace that was almost at Lia Scarlet's level.
"Who do you think is stronger? Leo or Lia Scarlet?"
"Is that even a question? Lia Scarlet is a monster who is on a whole other level. Leo cannot even begin to compare to her."
"I would be very surprised if Leo can last a minute against Lia Scarlet. She defeated half of the Four Witches Academy's team by herself during the last tournament."
"I don't know… What are the chances of him hiding even more of his powers?"
"Unless he knows a Tier 7 magic spell, he cannot compare to Lia Scarlet."
"That's impossible… Nobody can learn a Tier 7 magic spell in a month…"
Time passed quickly, and the Four Witches Academy didn't get to fight a second match that day.
As for the other schools, those that have less than 2 points after fighting three matches were kicked out of the tournament.
On the fourth day of the tournament.
"Starting today, those with less than 5 points and lose will be permanently out of the tournament!" Thalia announced right before the first match began.
Sometime later, the first match began.
[Scarlet Academy] versus [Sakura Academy]
"Ooooh!"
The audience erupted in cheers when they saw this matchup, as the Sakura Academy was ranked third in the previous tournament.
The Sakura Academy showed up first, and the Scarlet Academy showed up a minute later.
When the Scarlet Academy showed up, compared to the previous three days, there was an additional person there.
"It's Lia Scarlet! She's finally decided to show up after three days of absence!"
"As expected of the Sakura Academy! They are an opponent that she cannot ignore!" The audience were filled with excitement.
Meanwhile, Leo stared intensively at Lia's face through the screen, his thoughts unknown.
