This wizard only wishes to be a teacher

Meanwhile, within the secret realm, the confrontation between "Shadow" and "Electromagnetic Heart" continued.

They tacitly refrained from launching the first attack, prudently observing each other’s movements while silently accumulating power. On guard for their opponent’s killer moves, they were also seeking vulnerabilities and were prepared to strike or evade at any moment.

Before their official clash, the domain-type witchcraft they controlled began colliding, with Shadow manipulating magic essence and Electromagnetic Heart wielding electromagnetic force.

Faint blue electric arcs and wispy shadow serpents intertwined, guided by the two top apprentices’ commands, attacking each other like distinct, opposing forces.

The electric arcs and shadowy mists annihilated each other, emitting a faint sizzling sound.

As their domain-type witchcraft entangled, Shadow made the first move.

His form blurred and then split into hundreds of shadow pythons that surged towards Electromagnetic Heart. As they rushed forward, their mouths opened to unleash a silent yet forceful psychic roar.

This was a simplified version of the First Order Witchcraft: Psychic Roar. But under the enhancement of two special witch tools carried by "Shadow," the attack’s power was comparable to a Formal Wizard’s Psychic Roar!

If this Psychic Roar hit Electromagnetic Heart, it would directly disrupt his Spirit Sea. After all, he had not yet broken through to the level of a Formal Wizard, and an attack on his Spirit Sea would leave him dazed for at least a second or two.

Just a second or two of bewilderment would be enough for Shadow, now manifested as a horde of pythons, to gain an absolute advantage over Electromagnetic Heart or even potentially kill him within those two seconds!

Clearly, Shadow took Electromagnetic Heart very seriously, unleashing his most powerful combo attack right out of the gate.

As he transformed into countless shadow pythons charging at Electromagnetic Heart, a hint of madness and determination flickered in the blood-red snake eyes.

However, as he approached Electromagnetic Heart, he noticed a look of indifference in the latter’s eyes, and even some... disappointment?

He... he wasn’t affected by the Psychic Roar at all!

A flicker of shock passed through Shadow’s eyes.

At that moment, Electromagnetic Heart made his move.

He lightly patted his chest, triggering a mechanical device among his witch tools, and with the help of a disc-shaped mechanical witch tool beneath his feet, he created a massive prison made of metal blocks and electric currents around himself.

Electromagnetic Prison!

"Only the weak rely on using powerful moves," Electromagnetic Heart sighed softly, his tone carrying a hint of disdain for Shadow.

Shadow’s pupils shrank, but with no way to retreat or escape, he could only counterattack more ferociously!

...

"Hahaha... Old man, is this the best your academy’s top student can do? Tsk tsk tsk... Even weaker than I imagined!"

Outside the Blood Duel Mystic Realm, Wizard Luotu watched within the observation mirror as the ferocious Shadow roared and used witchcraft to break Electromagnetic Heart’s left arm. However, he was impaled by a cog blade controlled by Electromagnetic Heart. Laughing loudly, Luotu glanced at Grey Bone Wizard with contempt and ridicule.

After all, for a Mechanical Wizard, losing an arm or leg counted as only a minor injury! They had plenty of spare mechanical limbs in their storage witch tools ready for replacement. And this meant that the previous battle with Shadow could be called a total victory for Electromagnetic Heart!

"Grey Bone, you have Delatore’s protection now, but as far as I know, Delatore’s time is almost up, isn’t it? Hmph, I wonder what you will rely on to stop our high tower after the lord makes his last stand..."

Wizard Luotu’s voice, transmitted through spiritual power, reached Grey Bone Wizard’s ears, darkening his expression further.

"Hahaha, Beckett truly is the first prodigy our tower has seen in a hundred years!" After subtly threatening Grey Bone Wizard through spiritual power, Luotu still felt unsatisfied. Chuckling softly, he revealed a prideful demeanor and loudly praised Electromagnetic Heart, who was demonstrating absolute dominance within the Blood Duel Mystic Realm.

"He will definitely advance to Formal Wizard, and I even sense he has the potential to rise to Second-level Wizard, or even strive for Level 3 Wizard!" said Wizard Luotu with a smile, not mentioning Greybone Academy directly but targeting Grey Bone Wizard with every word.

After all, Electromagnetic Heart’s dominance was asserted by defeating "Shadow," the foremost member of Greybone Academy!

Bang—

Grey Bone Wizard’s face darkened. At their level, aside from seeking knowledge or treasures, what they valued most was their own face and dignity. And now Wizard Luotu had repeatedly taunted him, causing him loss of face in front of many Formal Wizards and even in front of Lord Delatore.

"Oh, it looks like Beckett has found another good target, hehe, Greybone, your apprentices are not that strong, but it seems there are still some who are quite valuable..."

The Wizard Luotu had been watching the observation mirror, and now, looking at the scene within it, he couldn’t help but smile.

Because at that moment, Beckett, the Heart of Electromagnetism, had already spotted Carly, and the two were face to face, with the battle about to erupt imminently.

"Carly, what are you thinking..." Lucien frowned as he watched from the side.

Because he couldn’t believe that Carly hadn’t heard the commotion caused by the battle between the Heart of Electromagnetism and Shadow. Yet, looking at Carly’s actions in the observation mirror, it was clear that she was waiting for the arrival of the Heart of Electromagnetism.

"I wonder if the armor I concocted will be able to withstand an attack from the Heart of Electromagnetism..." Lucien muttered to himself.

While he had a certain amount of confidence in the armor he had created, he was rather unhappy about the recklessness Carly was showing at this moment.

After all, in such a matchup, if you lose, the price paid is your life!

Meanwhile, other Formal Wizards also took notice of this collision about to begin. Many Formal Wizards looked over at the Greybone Academy side with somewhat pitying eyes.

After all, Greybone Academy had just suffered the loss of a "Shadow," and now the "Fairy" on the Hunter List seemed about to follow in Shadow’s footsteps, potentially to be forcefully slain by the Heart of Electromagnetism, who could be called the Dominator of the Blood Duel Mystic Realm.

And if this "Fairy" were to perish, then on the Hunter List, Greybone Academy would only have a single lone survivor left... And when the Blood Duel entered its later stages, Greybone Academy, with its top strength severely depleted, might indeed face a situation where its whole army was annihilated...

Tragic, too tragic!

Many Formal Wizards mourned silently for the numerous Formal Wizards of Greybone Academy, while some Formal Wizards with grudges against Greybone Academy could hardly suppress the corners of their lips curling upwards.

They were inwardly cheering for the Heart of Electromagnetism, hoping that this top Wizard Apprentice who had just slain Shadow and displayed strength comparable to that of a Formal Wizard would continue his victory pursuit and forcefully crush the "Fairy" listed at the bottom of the Hunter List.

The several Formal Wizards from Greybone Academy, however, were very silent.

After all, Carly was to some extent also representing their honor at this moment. If she were to be killed by the towering Heart of Electromagnetism as easily as cutting vegetables, they too would feel embarrassed.

"Dean Lusian, do you have confidence in escaping?" The Wizard Carlo quietly asked.

He too was somewhat nervous now. After all, if Carly were to die in battle, then the number of apprentices from Greybone Academy at the top level would be woefully few, and once apprentices from other academies began to gather, forming small hunting squads for group combat, it would be a disaster for the other Greybone Academy apprentices.

Lucien didn’t respond, just clenched his fists somewhat nervously.

If possible, at this moment, he would rather grab Carly by her pointy ears and ask her what exactly was going through her head.

"This Fairy had hardly any notable combat achievements before, seems like an apprentice who has only recently risen, probably just some lucky individual who came across or awakened a Fairy Bloodline. Just watch, Beckett will probably take him down in one move, and if you’re interested afterward, you can join me in my lab to study the Fairy Bloodline,"

On the side of the high tower, Wizard Luotu was now "lounging" in his chair, appearing very casual, and utterly unconcerned about the opponent that the Heart of Electromagnetism was about to kill.

Of course, his display was partly intended to irritate the Grey Bone Wizards and continue to add to their troubles, and it seemed to be quite successful from the current perspective.

"During these years when I was not in the academy, is this how you’ve been cultivating apprentices?" The Grey Bone Wizard, with his fierce vulture-like eyes, scanned the Formal Wizards of Greybone Academy. His voice was slightly hoarse, as if suppressing the anger in his heart.

And those Formal Wizards, upon meeting the Grey Bone Wizard’s gaze, couldn’t help but lower their heads, their expressions revealing a sense of helplessness.

After all, it was clear to everyone that the Grey Bone Wizard wasn’t concerned about the apprentices’ situation but was purely venting the anger in his heart onto these Formal Wizards, so they all remained silent.

Soon enough, the Grey Bone Wizard turned his attention to Lucien, but said nothing, instead focusing his attention on the observation mirror, his voice returning to calm, "Let’s just watch."

By this time, the battle between Carly and the Heart of Electromagnetism had fully erupted.

Unlike the cautious approach he took when dealing with "Shadow," the Heart of Electromagnetism was now full of aggressiveness.

Hardly had both sides begun testing each other when he sounded the horn for a total offensive. Witchcraft of the Electromagnetic Field was deployed, controlling two gears that spun faster and faster, slicing towards Carly.

Clearly, he didn’t consider Carly to be a real opponent either, and so the Heart of Electromagnetism’s plan was to end the fight quickly!
