Chapter 144: Silver Trout Academy’s genius freshman (2/2)
The medical team directly ran in Vitali’s direction.
“It ended in the blink of an eye… He can’t even get up.”
“He’s so fast you can’t even see him.”
Ayrin’s eyes were also staring wide open. He shouted, “Chris, Rinloran, did you clearly see it?”
“No, it was simply impossible to see what movements he made or what arcane skill he used.” Chris and Rinloran both took a deep breath and shook their heads.
“Teacher Carter, what arcane skill was it?” Ayrin couldn’t resist turning his head and asking Carter.
Carter shook his head with an extremely solemn look. “No one from Silver Trout Academy ever used an arcane skill like that before. I wonder if it’s a taboo skill unique to House Tully. I didn’t clearly see either how he struck his opponent, I just barely saw the faint blur of his figure when he was accelerating.”
Ayrin was struck dumb. “What, teacher Carter, even someone at your level couldn’t totally see it?”
“His invocation is fast, and his speed also surpassed the limits of human reaction. He directly reached him… We absolutely have to clearly distinguish the way he moves and think of a way to counter it, otherwise none of us is his match.” Chris’ expression was also extremely grave.
“He was actually defeated before he had time to do anything!”
“I didn’t even see it… There’s actually another new member like that in Silver Trout Academy!”
“…”
At this time, the stands were fully like a pot blowing off its lid.
“Shinro, add some more to their shock. Carefully remind everyone of our existence.” Amidst the surrounding uproar, captain Nolan of team Silver Trout smiled proudly.
“Silver Trout Academy against Longtable Academy, second fight, Shinro against Andrea.”
Everyone in Longtable Academy was already panicking. They one and all shouted out loud at Andrea, “You absolutely have to stop him!”
They were also a traditionally strong team. Even against Silver Trout Academy, they still had been holding onto the thought of vying for victory at the start of the match, but they never expected another new fighter like this one to appear in Silver Trout Academy!
“Angel Guardian!”
The instant Kleis declared the start of the fight, Andrea had already launched a spell at extreme speed. A white veil of light flashed, covering his entire person inside.
“What!”
But what made the entire stands erupt in chaos once again was, Andrea was still sent flying away even with his body fully covered by the white veil of light. And Shinro once again reappeared where he originally stood.
“I still couldn’t clear see!”
“How’s that possible!”
“Angel Guardian is a pure omnidirectional defensive skill. He was already wrapped inside, and the defensive power hasn’t been shattered, how’s it possible for him to be still sent flying away!”
Amidst the uproar, Ivan turned his head around at Ferguillo in the stands. “Did you see it clearly this time around?”
Ferguillo nodded. “An identical attack, it’s just too fast. His strike landed on Andrea before Angel Guardian could activate. Angel Guardian’s halo wasn’t sealing Andrea entirely inside when he sent him flying, it closed off while he was already flying in the air.”
After a slight pause, Ferguillo quietly said, “That’s why it looks like Angel Guardian remains intact while Andrea was sent flying… But to be so fast it fools the eyes, this arcane skill of his has already surpassed the reaction speed limits of the nerves around an ordinary person’s eyes.”
“I might barely snatch the initiative in a real fight, but in a tournament like this, I’m not his match either.” Ivan looked at Ferguillo. “What about you, are you confident you can restrain him?”
Ferguillo threw him a glance, didn’t saying anything. He nodded.
…
“What!”
“Hiss…”
Tsunami-like waves of exclamations and hisses continuously washed through the stands.
One by one, Longtable’s contestants all saw a blur in front of their eyes, then were smashed away in the air before they could see Shinro’s actions, losing the ability to fight one after another.
The only contestant left for Longtable Academy, captain Ender, was also a celebrity fighter at the same level as Joyce and Audrey. But the stronger he was, the more he could feel how fearsome this opponent was. He couldn’t think of a way to counter him.
“He forfeited!”
“Ender forfeited too!”
“What can he do? Even if Shinro stepped down now, Silver Trout academy still has three celebrity fighters at about the same level as him. It’s the limit for him to defeat even one of them, so there’s isn’t any meaning whether he keeps fighting or not.”
Sighs descended from the stands, because in the end, Ender lifted his hand and gestured he was forfeiting.
“A freshman like that, why didn’t they hide him to use when they meet a powerful team like Dragon Breath, Golden Stag, or Abel Academy?”
Captain Nolan of team Silver Trout heard comments like these.
He couldn’t hold back another proud smile, thinking to himself, “What’s the use even if they entirely see through him? Because to begin with, Shinro only knows this one arcane skill… The crucial point is, even if you know it’s his only skill, what can you do to defend against it?”
