Strongest Mage with the Lust system

However, Max took a few steps back. The audience and even Elder Zhan and others were puzzled by this. However, their confusion was cleared when the fireball collided with the giant boulder.

BANG

Half a meter wide Fireball exploding upon contact in a loud explosion. Flames of fire sought to engulf the boulder, but because it was made of some unique material so the fire couldn't spread.

However, the shockwave of the explosion was fierce—one of the supervisors who was within ten meters range of the explosion staggered when it struck him. If there were a one-star mage instead of him, he would have suffered injuries.

After the fire stopped burning, everyone focused their gaze on the boulder, wondering if this devastating attack was enough to push it back or not.

Supervisors, Elder Zhan, envoys and everyone else were stunned to see that the boulder had subtle burn marks, and it was half a foot back from where it originally was. They weren't surprised because he pushed the boulder back but because he could do it using only a low-tier spell.

"This isn't the same Fireball spell we are familiar with. The regular fireball doesn't explode like that one did." Fourth envoy, the old woman from the green pagoda, said, gazing at Max.

"Yeah. And judging from the damage it can do, it should be a mid grade Middle-tier spell at the very least." The fifth envoy commented.

"I didn't know that there were any mid-tier spells people could find without joining one of the academies, or did someone teach him this." Cilera frowned.

The Academies and the Royal family have complete control over all the elemental or regular spells of mid-tier and above. So it was questionable from where he could have gotten the spell.

"What if it's neither of these two?" The second envoy smiled.

"What do you mean?" Cilera asked. She was interested in what her biggest foe was thinking.

The second envoy shook her head and didn't reply.

The fourth envoy's eyes glittered thinking of a possibility, however, she also shook her head and said, "It's not important where could he have gotten this skill. What's important is that he is pretty talented, maybe even comparable to the core disciples of our academies."

"Two-star mage, 103 units. Qualified."

Just as the fourth envoy stopped speaking, the supervisor's announcement resounded in Colosseum, causing another uproar among the crowd. Everyone was calling him 'Unrivalled'.

The bald man and Vincent didn't have much reaction. However Dalton had an unpleasant expression as if he had just swallowed a fly. His lackey also looked a bit troubled.

After thinking a bit, he said "Young master, even though he turned out to be stronger than what we expected, this Fireball attack should be his strongest attack, and it takes more than a few seconds to cast and is very slow. Even a one-star mage can evade it. Moreover, he is too young and shouldn't have much experience. We can take him out in the third test."

"Yeah. Go ahead with your plan. I don't want him to live last today." A cruel glint flashed in eyes.

In a corner, the chubby young master and that Amicable old man sighed in relief. They both had the same thought 'It's good we didn't offend him.'

Miss Flavia also came out of her thoughts when she heard the announcement.

....

Max scoffed in his heart upon hearing everyone calling him 'Unrivalled.' He stepped off the arena. The remaining candidates continued with their testing.

When Flavia saw him coming back, she put on a smile and said "Once again, congratulations sir."

"Well, it's only a hollow title. Nothing worth praising." Max smiled and shook his head. In his heart, he was thinking, 'If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have used my strongest attack here.'

"Hmm, I think sir shouldn't be in contact with me. Some people may find it uncomfortable." She said after feeling Dalton glaring at them.

"Heh! What's the point of living if I can't do what I want? However, if Miss feels uncomfortable, you can tell me." Max shook his head. He has already made a resolve to himself.

Flavia once again was shocked by his words and in response to his last question, she shook her head, making Max smile.

"I should also go and recover. The last test is going to start anytime soon now. Do your best

Miss!" Saying this, he excused himself.

Seeing him walk away, Flavia hurriedly said "You too sir."

After talking to her, Max found Flavia very easy to talk to, but at the same time, he also noticed that he always seemed down for some reason. However, by the way she warned him, it might be related to Dalton.

"Tch, What kind of man are you to make such a good girl make said. Well, it's none of my business."

....

Max returned to his seat. Surrounding people had a look of reverence in their eyes, while some young ones were also motivated to work hard to gain this title.

Neer welcomed him excitedly. "Young master, I didn't know you were this strong. Everyone was in awe when your fireball exploded. I wish I also had a fire element."

Max didn't say to the excited kid and let him ramble on. After the driver once again warned him about Dalton's possible revenge, Max at one mana recovering pill and sat in meditation.

Although he only casted one fireball with three hundred mana points, around one hundred more mana points were consumed in controlling it for a short time. 'The bigger ones consume more mana to sustain. I think I'll stick to my twenty and fifty mana point fireballs in the next test.

....

When the sun sat in the horizon, the second test finally came to an end. Everyone was given one hour to recover before the third test started.

In the meantime, Elder Zhan asked the group to carry the rock back as it could not be stored in spatial bags. Colosseum was lit with shining stones called Luminous stones.

"Now that the first two tests have concluded. A total of seventy thousand candidates are qualified to participate in the third and final test."
