BXBX NOVEL Chapter 100 Low Tier Spell?
Chapter 100 Low Tier Spell?
Vincent stood in front of the giant rock. Without waiting for anything, he used his elemental mana and his body started shining.
After a few moments, the shining disappeared, leaving a metallic sheen over his body.
Clank!
He clenched his right fist producing a metallic sound. He eyed the rock two meters away from him and took a step forward he and disappeared.
BANG
Just when most of the audience was marveling about his monstrous speed, a loud bang resounded.
Everyone turned to look toward the rock only to see Vincent being thrown back by the recoil of his strike on the rock. The rock was also pushed around half a foot back.
"Hmm, as expected. I couldn\'t push it one feet back like that guy." Vincent stood up and dusted his clothes before sighing and turning around. However, his eyes were gleaming with excitment.
As he turned around, the supervisor announced "Two-star mage, 101 units. Qualified."
"Oh?" The bald man exclaimed after hearing the announcement, he hadn\'t noticed the number on the rock. He looked skeptically at Vincent for a moment before smiling.
After hearing the annocement, Audience finally reacted and burst out in chatter.
"Damn. Another Unrivalled genius. Since when people in our region became so strong?" A man in his thirties said in excitement.
"It\'s nothing surprising for him to have such strength." A middle aged woman chimed in.
"Oh? Lady do you know who is he?" The man asked, curious. Until now most of the people didn\'t know Vincent\'s identity.
"Yeah I know." The woman nodded. "He is that rumoured nephew of the City lord of Zexin city."
"What? He is related to that legendary city lord?" The man shouted in surprise. He then nodded "No wonder he is so talented. He is related to her."
....
Elder Zhan glanced where all of the envoys were sitting and thought \'The Selection this time is going to be a hassle for them with so many talents appearing.\'
Time slowly passed. More and more candidates kept getting qualified or disqualified, however, the number of disqualified candidates was very low this time.
There were also many whose maximum strength was in eighties while some touched upon ninety unit mark.
When everyone was almost finished and no outstanding genius appeared, Max stood up and walked towards the arena.
"Good luck young master." Neer and the driver wished him good luck. As Neer was already determined to be selected at the end, he didn\'t bother to test himself. However even if he did so, most probably he would have been disqualified. So it was better not to.
Max nodded at them and walked by rows upon rows of seats. Coincidentally, Flavia was sitting where he would have to pass by.
Dalton also noticed this. He kept glaring at him from his seat.
When Max was about to walk by her. A small smile appeared on his face and he stopped. He turned toward the direction where Dalton was and smiled at him before turning to Flavia who was still recovering with her eyes closed.
He tapped on her shoulder lightly. Flavia was startled and opened her eyes. Seeing Max standing by her side with a smile, she blinked her long eyelashes in confusion and asked "It\'s you sir. Do you need anything?"
Max felt awkward upon hearing this question, he just wanted to anger Dalton further. He knew that Dalton will definitely come after him whether he did anything or not. So why shouldn\'t he take this opportunity to talk to a goddess of many\'s heart.
He tried to act natural and said "Well, I was going there to test myself and happened to see you sitting here. So I thought I should say hello. After all we can be considered acquaintances right?"
"Yes, sir is right. Congratulations, for having Excelled the first test." Flavia nodded and congratulated him for having grade seven affinity.
However Max noticed her expression becoming sad for a moment when she said this. He understood that she might be feeling upset for having only grade five affinity.
He smiled and shook his head "Having a higher grade affinity isn\'t everything. After all one can still raise their affinity grade by using some magic herbs or something else. What important is, that you can use everything you have most efficiently. Anyways, it seems Miss isn\'t far from obtaining the Unrivalled title too."
"Oh!" Flavia looked at him in surprise. She didn\'t expect him to respond like this. She thought he would gladly accept her praise or at least would feign indifference like most nobles do.
However he really didn\'t seem to care about his affinity being higher grade or not. Her respect for him increased a bit more due to this.
Seeing her stare at him without blinking, he felt embarrassed. He had said everything that would seem motivational to encourage her, however she didn\'t react in any way and just stared at him.
"Umm, I should go and test now. Bye Miss." He quickly excused himself and walked towards the arena.
Flavia didn\'t even react and stared dazedly at his back and mumbled "He is right. Having a higher grade affinity doesn\'t make you a genius. There are many who initially didn\'t have a good affinity but still achieved great hights." However she soon shook her head "Those things that can help raise one\'s affinity
are very rare. I\'m afraid I won\'t be able to find any before..." She stopped and her mood once again became gloomy.
....
Seeing Max stepping on the arena, many trained their sights on him. Although because of Neer\'s dual elements there wasn\'t as much uproar when Max\'s affinity was tested to be grade seven, everyone guessed that his talent wasn\'t lower than those geniuses who had their power in 90+ range.
Noticing that he was focus of everyone\'s attention, he felt uncomfortable. Never in his life did he receive such attention, but he still walked calmly and stopped ten meters away from the giant rock.
"Uncle, do you know which element young master has awakened?" Neer asked the driver.
The drive smiled at the well-mannered boy "I heard that young master has awakened fire element recently."
"Recently? Doesn\'t This mean, young master doesn\'t have much experience with his element? Wouldn\'t this affect his performance in this test and third test?" Neer asked anxiously.
The driver shook his head "I don\'t know about that. However, he gives me a feeling that he shouldn\'t be any weaker than that Dalton."
....
In the envoy\'s area, Second envoy focused on him. She wanted to see if what she guessed was right or not. Other envoys also focused.
Max ignored those prickling gazes and calmed down. Then he stimulated his elemental mana and raised his hand.
A small fireball appeared above his hand and kept expanding. Max could use maximum of 300 units of his mana to cast his strongest fireball. If he tried using more, it would become unstable and be difficult to control.
Max took his time and slowly conjured it. When it was half a meter wide, he then tossed it toward the rock. He didn\'t make it fly faster and let it go at a moderate pace.
As the crimson colour fireball inched closer to the rock everyone narrowed their eyes and watched it.
The bald man frowned \'What does he want to achieve by using such low tier spell?\'
However, he wasn\'t the only one who had this thought. Many others were also of the same opinion because they knew that fireball spell was one of the most basic spells for fire elemental mages. What was he thinking by using such low tier spell?
