Chapter 93: Elliots obsession! (1/2)

He went down the arena, sharing a high five with each of his brothers.

”You did good, man.” Elliot praised John.

”I never thought you had it in you,” Lisa said to John while standing close to Elliot.

”Hehe,” John laughed with a cheeky smile on his face.

Theo trapped John in a harmless chokehold and said, ”Don't be too smug. You only one fight!”

”I know. I know. Now, let me go.” John said, taking Theo's arm off his neck and shoulder.

”Heh, he has all reason to act smug,” Elliot suddenly said before motioning them to look at the raised platform. ”Look, even the headmaster is looking at him in praise.”

They turned to look at the raised platform and saw that Headmaster Gerald was looking at John, a Hollow, with amazement in his eyes. He was appalled and impressed because a Hollow managed to win because of the efforts and hard work John put in to train himself. However, he still felt bitter, indigent even. ”If only he wasn't a Hollow, then he would have accomplished a lot with his computing powers.”

”Sigh~” A bitter sigh escaped his lips.

As John was a Hollow, he won't be able to achieve a higher evolutionary stage than the peak of the magical realm. No matter how hard he trains, he won't be able to advance into the energy channel opening stage. After all, a magician only gains energy channels after awakening a supernatural ability, something John, a Hollow, could never do in his life.

After John and Lucas fight, a few more battles took place in the arena. One of them happened to be between a second-year student and Sylas, who was in the tenth level of the magical realm. Sylas won against his opponent within a minute by using two different superpowers, Gravity Manipulation, Earth Manipulation, and his magic matrix, Prediction.

Elliot smiled while looking at Sylas, then said, ”Big boss, he's amazing no matter where he goes.”

”You know that person?” Theo asked.

”Is he a friend?” John and Lisa looked at Elliot with bright sparkly eyes, wondering how he is related to Sylas. Childhood friends? Rivals? Unwanted Romance? Participants of a Love triangle? Enemies? One-sided Love? Just what is it?

Elliot nodded to them and told Theo, Lisa, and John that Sylas used to be the strongest student of the magic high school he attended as well as someone who didn't bully him when he was weak and instead protected him from Alexander, who wanted to kill him.

”He is a good candidate for our group,” Theo said after hearing from Elliot's mouth that Sylas protected him when he was still the weakest.

”Should we talk to him?” John asked while looking at Elliot with eyes that asked for his permission.

”Not now,” Elliot declined, knowing full well that although Big Boss has a rough exterior and a gentle interior, he is still arrogant to the boot, so he won't accept their invitation if they simply invited him to become a part of their group.

”Alright,” John and Theo said before getting busy with the game on their quantum card.
