A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 461 We Haven’t Lost Yet

“He’s so powerful!”

“What powerful wind magic!”

The audience was in an uproar. Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight of Neil being hurled off the platform by that pillar of wind. There was such a massive disparity in stature between the two of them, but the result of their battle was very unexpected.

It seemed like the battle had only just begun, yet Neil had already been eliminated by an opponent who appeared to only be around 11 or 12 years old. If he were attending Chaos School, he would still be a part of the elementary section!

“That’s true magic.” Hank turned to the Chaos School students with a hint of ridicule on his face before joining the Magus Tower magic casters in their raucous cheers.

“The first victory goes to the Magus Tower. Neil Barkly has been eliminated. Let’s begin the second battle. Team leaders, please select your contestants.” Karpas turned to the Chaos School students with an encouraging expression.

“You’re up next, Lyant.” Claus cast a wary glance at George. He could also unleash an intermediate spell, but it would be very forced, and he couldn’t do it with anywhere near the ease with which George had unleashed that spell. As such, he didn’t know if he would be able to defeat George in battle.

“Alright.” A tall and thin student emerged, and he walked toward the platform with an extremely wary expression.

Geroge turned to Karpas, and informed, “I’ll keep going.”

“Second battle, begin!” Karpas announced with a nod.

This was a battle between two wind magic casters, and the disparity in power was quite apparent. George didn’t even need to unleash his gale pillar before he was able to force eliminate Lyant with ease. In the end, a teacher from Chaos School had to step in to shield him from two wind blades. Otherwise, he would have been in a lot of danger.

“Second battle, Magus Tower wins.”

“Third battle, Magus Tower wins.”

“Seventh battle, Magus Tower wins.”

Karpas’ indifferent voice sounded once again, and an oppressive silence settled over the venue. Everyone looked up at the golden-haired young boy standing on the platform with indignation in their eyes, but also with a hint of awe and veneration.

In the seven matches, only the last student from Chaos School posed a small threat to George. Everyone else was eliminated by him with ease, and his overwhelming might struck everyone with a hint of despair.

“Thank you.” George nodded at Karpas as he got down from the platform. In the process, he looked at the Chaos School students below the stage, and shook his head with a bored expression.

“Well done, George. Leave the rest to me.” Hank patted George on the shoulder before getting onto the platform. A mocking sneer appeared on his face as he pointed to Claus, and said, “You’re the team leader, right? Beating you one by one would be too boring. I’ll give you a chance: split your remaining eight members into two groups, and I’ll fight you in groups of four. If you beat me, then you win the match, but if you lose, then the Magus Tower will probably never come back to your school. Fighting someone who can’t even pose a good challenge is too boring.”

“You!!” Claus stepped forward and glowered at Hank. He was being insulted in front of the entire school, but they had lost seven consecutive battles, so he didn’t know how to respond. The disparity in power between the two sides struck him with despair, and he had no choice but to turn to the teachers below the stage for help.

The other students of Chaos School were also furious. However, none of them could do anything, either. George had already beaten many of the best magic casters among their ranks, and it appeared that Hank was supposed to be even more powerful. They stood absolutely no chance here.

“That green-haired guy is going to fight four people at once?”

The students below the platform were all shocked and enraged upon hearing that. Not only was Hank insulting his opponents, he was even insulting the entire Chaos School. The most infuriating part was that no one could do anything about it.

“Abbott, I don’t think that’s allowed under the current rules.” Grinton turned to Abbott with a dark expression. They were mentally prepared for Chaos School to be defeated by the Magus Tower, but in the past few years, the matches had always been quite close. Even though Chaos School had lost in all of them, the losses they suffered weren’t too heavy.

However, in this edition, the rule of deciding match-ups through drawing lots had been abolished, thereby leading to a situation where the entire Chaos School team was in danger of being swept by two people. If they sent out four people and were still defeated by Hank, then the entire school’s reputation would be severely dented.

Many teachers in the front row had also turned to Abbott with dark expressions. The entire match had spiraled out of control, and only Principal Novan would be able to bring the situation back under control.

“I say we let the kids decide on their own. They’re currently in a negotiation phase, and no one is forcing anyone to do anything. If you don’t like it, then you’re free to stop them and enforce your own rules upon them. As long as those rules are fair, I have no objections.” Abbott turned to Grinton with a smile.

“Let the kids decide. Some experiences are more important than winning or losing.” Novan appraised the students on the platform with a calm smile as he said, “There’s no need to interfere excessively. Besides, we haven’t lost yet, have we?”

“Yes.” Grinton wanted to offer an objection, but he only nodded in the end.

The other teachers were a little surprised, but none of them said anything, either.

Abbott took a glance at Novan, and he also chose to remain silent. Novan was a spatial magic caster that was feared by many great magic casters in the Magus Tower, and Abbott couldn’t figure out what he was thinking

Thus, Claus received no assistance from the teachers, and Karpas wasn’t stepping in, either. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and at the same time, his mind scrambled for a way to win this match. The honor of Chaos School hinged on the result of this match, and as the team leader, he couldn’t afford to let his emotions get the better of him.

Claus looked at his teammates before turning to Hank with a nod as he said, “I accept your proposal, but we only have seven people left, so they’ll be split up into a group of three and a group of four.” “You only have 14 people in total?” Hank raised an eyebrow upon hearing that. Sure enough, there were only seven people left, and Krassu’s disciple hadn’t appeared yet. She was most likely too scared to turn up. With that in mind, the mocking sneer on his face widened as he asked, “I’m fine with that, but wouldn’t it be too unfair to you guys?”
