Chapter 103: One Against All (1/2)
John stood a few steps behind Elliot, hoping that he would be able to do as he said. After all, he will become the most famous student in the academy once he takes down the three strongest channel opening stage magicians and their groups all by himself without moving his hands or using his feet.
”Please let this become true,” Lisa prayed in her mind, wishing to see her lover rise to stardom. That way, when the time comes, her father wouldn't be able to get in the way of their love. A strong magician is respected, and if he defeats them, then he will prove himself as the magician with the highest potential and the brightest future. Which father wouldn't want her daughter to get together with such a man?
None Lisa knew of.
The participants surrounding him only had one thought popping in their minds when they heard his words, this guy isn't a human; he is the manifestation of arrogance.
”Eh, what's he doing?”
”Why is he so carefree even though many students are surrounding them!”
”Does he really believe that his friend will be able to solo so many magicians? What a Joke!”
”Maybe he has lost his mind.”
”Kiya~ he is so cool! I'm losing my mind!”
When the onlookers noticed that Theo was resting on the ground, hands behind his head and eyes looking straight at the slightly bright and mostly dark sky without a care in the world, some started to poke fun at him while the others fell for his charm.

”Birds of a feather sure do flock together,” Eliseo said sarcastically, attacking his opponents with words.
”What? I didn't understand even a tiny bit of what you meant by your words. I don't really like idioms. They are a waste of time, so I haven't read any and definitely haven't come across the one you just said to look cool. Care to explain it in common English?”
”Your friend is as arrogant as you.”
”Arrogant, you say?” Elliot said with a laugh. ”That's not arrogance. That's his way of showing the world that he trusts me and believes that I can defeat you all without using my hands and feet.”
His words made their eyes twitch uncontrollably.
”Their arrogance knows no bound.”
”Shouldn't we start teaching these freshmen a lesson? One of them openly disrespects us while the others don't even put us in their eyes!” One of the vice leaders said while pointing at Elliot and his friends.
”It looks like his teammates have no intention of helping him. So, let's leave them out of it and focus all our attention on taking him down.
