Chapter 1843: Contestant Number Zero!
The contestants from the youth category were all under 14 years old. There were over 1000 of them, representing the future of the Roth Empire’s magic casters.
Furthermore, those with great potential among them would usually be taken in and groomed by the Magus Tower. Even though the competition wasn’t as strong as in the magic caster category, people still paid a lot of attention to it.
Currently, there was a figure in a black magician cloak standing in the midst of the contestants. He was a head taller than the teenagers next to him, and his face that was concealed by the hood looked rather mature. His gaze was focused on Amy, who was still munching on the drumstick on the stage.
“She’s just a little girl who may not even know about fireball magic. Do we need to take her so seriously?” Kassadin sneered mockingly.
As the most talented magic caster from the Roth Empire’ ancient magic caster family, the Fuller Family, he had shown great magical talents at a young age. He became a magic caster at five years old, and already broke through the 4th-tier and became a mid-tier magic caster at 10 years old. He was only 19 years old, but he just broke through to the 7th-tier two weeks ago, and became a real advanced magic caster.
With such talents, even the Magus Tower would recognize him as a genius!
He had once dreamed of becoming Master Krassu’s disciple. He even always believed that Master Krassu had never had a disciple because he hadn’t met him yet.
However, before he could showcase himself at the Magic Caster Tournament, news of Krassu taking in a half-elf disciple in Chaos City had reached him. He was infuriated.
Hence, when Brent approached him, and asked him to conceal his age and take part in the youth category to take down Krassu’s disciple, he agreed without any hesitation.
He wanted to prove himself in front of Krassu, and let him know that he was wrong. He had missed out on a genius.
Today will be the day that I, Kassadin, will be written into the history books. Kassadin clenched his fists gradually.
Bam!
The ball at the edge of the platform exploded, and thousands of balls flew out. They flew towards the magic casters taking part in the competition.
The magic casters who had the bigger numbers all reached out to grab the flying balls in front of them.
The bubbles burst as soon as their hands touched them, dissolving into shimmering lights, and landing on their number tags.
Their opponent’s number for their first duel appeared on the number tag as well as the battleground’s number.
At the same time, the chosen magic caster’s number tag also reflected the duel information.
This method was apparently created by Krassu in the past. It could decide to duel sequence efficiently, and simplify the originally complicated process of drawing lots. At the same time, it required the magic casters to duel continuously so as to test if the magic casters’ endurance and foundation were indeed solid.
“All the lots are drawn! All magic casters will proceed to the designated venues according to the information on the number tags. The duel will start soon!” The emcee’s voice reverberated throughout the square again, and all the magic casters began to move to their venues.
The square in front of the Magus Tower was extremely huge. It was split into thousands of battle zones. Each battle zone was about 100 square meters big, and it seemed a little small for the magic casters’ duels.
The rules for the duel were simple. As long as one party surrendered, was unable to continue battling, stepped out of the battle zones, or suffered a lethal blow as judged by the judges, they would be considered defeated.
Who is number zero? Don’t the numbers start from one? A fat magic caster standing in a battle zone not far from the platform looked at the number tag in his hand, and looked around curiously. He was curious about who his opponent was.
As a 6th-tier earth magic caster, Harvey felt very confident.
He entered the top 100 in the previous Magic Caster Tournament, and his objective in the current tournament was to enter the top 64. He wanted to join the Magus Tower on his 30th birthday as a gift to himself.
The magic casters began to enter the square, but everyone’s gaze was fixed on the little girl next to Krassu on the platform with the camera.
It was said that Master Krassu’s disciple would be taking part in this year’s Magic Caster Tournament too. However, she was still so small. Even those youngsters taking part in the youth category were about 10 years old. Nine- and eight-year-olds were already rare, let alone a three- or four-year-old magic caster.
“Little Amy, it’s time for you to go and compete,” Krassu said to Amy with a smile after seeing almost all the magic casters had reached their battle zones.
“Are we going to start fighting now?” Amy looked up at her half-eaten little drumstick, and placed it on the little plate in front of her after pondering. Then, she said to Krassu seriously, “Master, my drumstick is still warm, so don’t try to eat it. I will be back soon, and I still want to eat it.”
“Alright.” Krassu nodded helplessly. This drumstick was more important to Amy than the tournament.
Amy was relieved. While wiping her hands with a towel she took from the side, she asked, “Who am I fighting?”
“There. That little fatty in yellow clothes. Go and defeat him, and you can come back to eat your drumstick.” Krassu pointed in the direction of Harvey to Amy.
“Alrighty.” Amy nodded. She took her magic caster’s staff, and leaped off the chair. She flipped her little cloak, and walked towards that little fatty whom Krassu had pointed out.
Only now did the crowd see that the number tag swinging at Amy’s waist wasn’t the youth category’s white tag, but the magic caster category’s black tag!
“Number zero! The first ever in history!”
“Mamma mia, I’m shocked! She’s actually taking part in the magic caster category’s duels!”
“A three-year-old magic caster category’s contestant?! She’s got to be the youngest contestant ever in history?”
The square burst into a commotion instantly.
Everyone wore an astonished expression on their face.
King Andre turned, and said to Krassu smilingly, “I didn’t expect you to let this child take part in the magic caster category’s competition.”
“She insisted on joining the magic caster category. She said it’s no kick when she can settle one kid with one punch,” Krassu replied, smiling as well.
The people around them all had a weird expression when they heard that. Even in the youth category, Amy was the youngest, and yet she didn’t think that they were her match at all. Her character was rather similar to Master Krassu’s.
“H-how is that possible? He actually let her join the magic caster category’s competition.” Brent paled. This was completely different from his expectation.
Although Richard was a little surprised, he didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he smiled. “Since this is the case, we don’t have to do anything. There are many experienced 7th-tier magic casters in the magic caster category and even a few magic casters who are at their 7th-tier peak.”
“Indeed.” Brent regained his wits. His mouth twitched when he looked at Kassadin, who was dueling with a 10 years old child in the distance. “However, it’s a pity for Kassadin. With his ability, he would have been able to get in the top 32 in the magic caster category.”
Kassadin was also dumbfounded now. In order to duel Krassu’s disciple, he had taken the risk to be vilified as someone bullying children, and forcefully joined the youth category.
In the end, she went to the magic caster category?
F*ck…
How was he going to battle her now?
