51 Traceless Oscillation (2/2)

”Hey Wallace, what was that?”

Ericka asked Wallace beside her. Gilbert and Kazimir in the same row were similarly interested so they kept quite and waited for their classmate to answer.

Wallace did not keep them in suspense and answered truthfully.

”That's 'Traceless Oscillation', it is still crude but it seems that it's working properly.”

”Oscillation? Eh, how does that work?”

Wallace was silent for a moment as if thinking how he would explain the science behind it.

”Resonance, when a structure or object is forced to vibrate at its natural frequency, its vibration amplitude increases. In other words, if this structure or object begins to vibrate in a violent manner, it will collapse and this will obviously lead to it's total destruction. In Jason's case, after Hilda forcefully destroyed his Mana Shell, he received backlash due to abrupt stoppage of his mana flow causing him to collapse.”

Wallace tried to explain it as simple as possible. As he felt that there will be more follow up questions, he added more.

”After this competition, I'll formally register this magic structure as my exclusive magic skill.”

'It had limited use at the moment as the magic structure was hastily made. Only those with strong mana fluctuations could use it. Even I would have trouble utilizing it like how Hilda did. But once I fully develop and improve it's structure, I should be able utilize it as well.'

Wallace added in his mind and as soon as he reached this thought, sounds of gasp and surprise was heard again in the audience area.

”Eh, it seems that Isolde were having trouble with Abuxorth Academy.”

”The score is 2-2. To think that the battle will last until 5th match.”

”Hmm, it's either the Isolde has gone weaker or Abuxorth has recruited strong students this time.”

”Don't say it like that, they were first years after all. As you can see, almost all the magic spell they are releasing are all standard ones. It just depends on their strategy. It seems that Abuxorth students heavily studied their opponents this time.”

”That's true, I noticed how they could calmly act in various spells released by Isolde's students. Too bad, the variation of their magic spell is too limited so they are losing the one on one match.”

”Unfortunately, the 5th match would be another 1v1 match. Abuxorth will have high chance of losing the battle then.”

Wallace heard various comments from the audiences. He was actually glad that the match between the two school would last that long.

After all, this competition is round robin so they will be fighting all other schools. It would be better for them to be aware of all magic spells and capabilities of other magic academies. Of course, it would be the same for other schools.

Since the battle between Leonhearts and Honeysuckle was finished, some students from their academy left to take a break but Wallace stayed as he was quite interested now in the last battle between the other two schools.

Apparently, the round robin battle between the first year students of 12 academies will last until this afternoon and will continue tomorrow morning. So a day and a half is allocated for each academic year.

Tracy and Ross approached Wallace's group as it seems that they were also interested in the battle that was about to commence.

”Hey, are you interested on why we've met with our instructors?”

Tracy teased Wallace but he only smiled at her. He knows that Tracy would still tell her even if he didn't ask knowing her attitude.
