The Mysterious Black Magician

Chapter 293 - Not Strength Or Power, But Intelligence



A shameful retreat against a weak opponent!

"Dammit!" Jugo bellowed and took something from his storage. 

It was a pair of golden bracelets. But Jugo wore them on his legs, a little above his ankle.

Not only that, he took another pair. This time he wore them on his wrist. After doing it, the bracelets glowed brightly.

"Woah! What was that?"

"Artefacts?"

"He looked so majestic."

Some amused utterance could be heard from the audience..

Yman widened his eyes in surprise. Those bracelets. He saw some of those inside the palace treasury. It must be a high-tier artefact!

Jugo sneered at him before saying: "Now, prepare to die," he spat the words in a cold voice.

After saying it, he grinned. Then his body warped. 

"S-so fast!" An audience exclaimed. The next second, Jugo finally landed a hit on his enemy. Yman was thrown a few steps away. Though he managed to stay on his feet.

However, when he looked at his opponent, Jugo was no longer in his position. A second later, a figure materialized on his side.

Bang!

A kick managed on his side. Luckily, he was able to block it using his right arm. But even though, he was sent crashing on the floor and slid several meters away.

Yet, Jugo wasn\'t finished. Before Yman stopped sliding, another impact on his back. Yman was thrown in the opposite direction. However, Jugo did not stop with just that. After his body warped, he materialized beside him and kicked him like a soccer ball.

Yman\'s body bounced in all directions.

"Y-Yman…" Almina muttered in worry.

The audience became so silent, however, they screamed a second later.

"Whooo! What kind of speed is that!"

"My gosh! My eyes can\'t keep up the fight!"

"Go, Wolfy! Beat your enemy!"

"Bwahaha! Don\'t let him live!"

"Kill him!"

For some reason, some audience members started cheering loudly. Weirdly though, they were cheering for the Jugo and they wished for Yman\'s defeat.

"Kill him and free our Princess Almina from his CLUTCH!!!" Another member of the audience stood up and shouted the words. The person had a white bandana on his forehead. Written on it was "For Almina\'s Sake, Kill Him!".

After he shouted, the others people beside him started chanting randomly: "Kill him!", "Defeat him!"

"Kill him!"

"Defeat him!"

"Kill him!"

"Defeat him!"

"Kill him!"

"Defeat him!"

The chant started random and scattered until everyone said it in unison. Now they were in sync with each other, turning the scattered voice into one powerful voice.

"KILL HIM!"

"DEFEAT HIM!"

"KILL HIM!"

"DEFEAT HIM!"

"These fools!" Almina inside the waiting room wanted to flame those fools. She wondered why they wanted Yman\'s defeat. "Yman, be careful. And stay strong…"

She whispered in a voice that seemed a little beyond crying. Besides her, Maena didn\'t know how to react to those people\'s chants. Looks like that guy had a natural talent to garner hate for himself. She glanced at Almina and shook her head. Almina was pursing her lips.

Maena sighed. \'This girl has no clue that she is the reason…\' she thought.

Some students inside the waiting hall also shouted the chant, followed after the audience. But once Almina threw a fierce look at them, they went silent, awkwardly.

It would be bad news if they angered the Cool Princess that was loved by everyone.

Kiko grinned. "Finally, a good beating. Hehe," he chuckled. Though he wanted to be the one who did the beating on Yman.

Regardless, he felt an inexplicable joy and anger when he saw the sadness in Almina\'s face while staring at the monitor.

He was happy that finally, Almina noticed the weakness of the guy he chose. But Kiko was also sad. Sad that Almina\'s feelings for that guy were genuine. It was easy to tell that she loved him just by looking at the expression on her face.

Kiko didn\'t like it! He hoped for more beating for that guy. Yman shall be as good as dead. If it was him, he wouldn\'t let him say the word "Surrender!".

Bob and Chloe\'s face turned bitter. They wished for Yman\'s success. But the reality was just too much, asking a win against an elite student was too much.

"Looks like Jugo wasn\'t fighting him seriously a while ago…" Chloe muttered.

"Yeah, but still, I want him to win!" Bob announced with a glint in his eyes.

"Bwahaha, that\'s impossible!" Not too far from Bob and the others, they heard someone interjected.

They glanced and saw another person with a pair of wolf ears. They knew who it was. It was the other person from the Beastmen Party led by Miss Rei-Rei. More on that, all of their members were from the elite class. Nonetheless, they were all present at the moment. This was the strongest party in the academy. Their party was even stronger than Almina\'s party. And they had the highest record of explored floors in the dungeon.

"Give up giving your hopes high. That friend of yours will never win against Jugo," the wolfman added.

He was saying it while his eyes were fixed on the monitor.

Bob wanted to disagree, but this wolfman just said the truth. Bob gritted his teeth. It was unfortunate that Yman and he were both born weak. They could only lament their lack of power.

Well, as long as they graduated from this academy, everything would be fine. They only need to get a degree and later get a better job. That was all that mattered to them.

"I don\'t think Yman will lose…" while Bob fell silent, they suddenly heard a familiar voice. The word came from Miss Almina Amulet.

"Eh, how can you be so certain that he won\'t lose?" The person who replied to Miss Almina was no other than Miss Rei-Rei!

Now everyone was staring at the two. "Because he is the person with lots of surprises," Almina replied. \'And he is the person I trusted the most…\' she continued in mind. Also, Almina believed that Yman could find a way to win the fight. Not through strength or power, but intelligence. 

Rei-Rei knitted her brows before she raised a brow on Almina. "Heh, say it before he becomes a good soccer ball of Jugo." Rei-Rei mocked.

"What!"

They suddenly heard a surprised utterance. It was from the stage. It came from Jugo. They immediately glanced and saw Yman holding Jugo\'s leg.

Yman sighed.

\'Ah, those kicks are so weak. Not even half as strong as that monster…\' he thought nonchalantly. The monster he mentioned was the monster he fought near the Silent River.

Actually, he just wanted to test Jugo\'s strength. He felt excited after seeing the artefacts. He admitted that Jugo became faster and stronger. But it wasn\'t to the extent that could one-hit him. Unfortunately, he was a self-healer magician. So damaging him little by little was useless.

"Dammit, release me!" Jugo struggled to release his foot. However, he noticed that he could not free it. He had no choice. He needed to punch him. But before his punch landed on Yman, Jugo felt a strong impact on his side. Jugo was sent crashing on the floor.

Everyone was staring with blank faces.
