Chapter 160 Courage and Wisdom Do Not Conflict

***edited by x10***

Even as the only side character with a full name mentioned in the first-year Magister House, Sara Swati's name was still unknown to many.

But she was clearly valued in the eyes of the professors.

Inheriting the brown eyes and dark skin of the Sage of Ancients, Sara could be said to be very conspicuous in the academy that had many light-skinned students.

She was unmatched among the first-year students in terms of knowledge.

In the first intra-class competition, Sara failed to match Emma's [Golden Treasure Chest], but this time she came back to give a stronger fight.

In addition to Sara,

Emma Mortis of Knight House was also valued highly by the professors.

As a professor at Knight House, Professor Silver naturally knew more about her: "As you know, Emma Mortis is also a possible inheritor of another Sage title. Her mother is a disciple of the Sage of Mysteries."

Professor Lily pouted: "Then why is she not a student of Magister House?"

Professor Silver explained solemnly: "The sorting ceremony is a choice made based on a student's magic energy, talent, knowledge, mentality and other factors at the time of admission. Since she was selected to enter the Knight House, it means that her quality at that time was more in line with the Knight House, or more psychologically towards Knight House. If there were another sorting now, the outcome may be different."

Professor Jones pointed to her head and said with a smile, "Courage and wisdom do not conflict."

Professor Lily rolled her eyes and giggled.

Then they talked about the Son of The Brave One.

Professor Silver's expression softened slightly: "In the case of White Gawd, he is still talented, but he's a bit naughty. Although he has improved slightly under the supervision of Instructor Grace, when compared with those three..."

She shook her head, reluctant to say more.

"Is it my turn now?" Professor Jones crossed her arms and said proudly: "We, the Noble House, have the least number of students this year, but we have a lot of talented students. Dark Demon aside, Dianna Great Bayer and Teddy Doron are rare talents. In terms of character, I really like Doron, but Dianna is more adorable."

Claire said helplessly, "Professor Jones, after so many years, your hobby still has not changed."

Professor Jones: "What's wrong with liking bears?"

Professor Silver: "Okay, that's enough talk. Let's start the second round."

Then the professors shook their heads and walked out of the dueling hall's office.

...

Half past two.

The first-year students had gathered in the dueling hall No. ①.

But unlike the morning when everyone was tense, the students who failed to advance to the second round were watching the game as spectators and very relaxed because they did not have to play.

However, the sense of collective honor of the little magisters was still very strong, and almost everyone was cheering for the players from their own houses.

Especially the students of Knight House and Noble House who had always been against each other, they were glaring and scowling at each other.

Although Knight House's once-proud son of the Brave One had disappointed many people, Emma Mortis showed strong competitiveness in the first round, which made them have high expectations for Miss know-it-all who was gradually integrated into their group.

Noble House, of course, put the hope of winning the championship on the defending champion Dark Demon!

...

There were high expectations of White Gawd at the beginning of the school, but now no one cared about him. The increasingly obvious gap between him and Dark made him breathless.

When it was just after Halloween, he could still maintain his mentality by relying on his second-place finish in the event.

Even after being given detention, he could still feel his improvement under Ms. Grace's guidance.

However, in the first round of the competition in the morning, he fell into a hard fight!

The classmates who were completely ignored by him in the past seemed to have suddenly become stronger!

If he hadn't gotten his Troll into a "Frenzy" state, he probably wouldn't have been able to make it to the second round.

In today's intra-class competition, he came with the goal of winning the championship but he was already having a tough time in the first round of the competition.

In his field of vision, he couldn't see Dark's back anymore.

In short, he felt heavy at heart.

...

The format for the second round of the competition was slightly different.

The round of 16 into 8 would continue to use the single-elimination system.

After the top 8 were decided, the double-elimination system would be used.

Each player would have two chances. The player who suffered the first failure would not be eliminated directly, but would fall into the loser group, and would only be eliminated after the second failure.

After the professors briefly explained the rules, they began to distribute the number plates from Noble House to Fool House.

Dark got the No. 1.

Dianna was No. 2.

...

After the 16 contestants were all assigned number plates, the professors used the same number plates to randomly draw and formulate the schedule.

In the round of 16, matches would start at four arenas simultaneously.

Soon, the professors posted the schedule.

Dark was dragged over by Dianna to look at the schedule.

"My next opponent is No. 3? Isn't that Doron?"

So he turned his head slightly, only to find that Teddy Doron also turned his head at the same time!

The Doron family was a big family in the kingdom that was of the same stature as the Great Bayer family. The two sides were both comrades-in-arms and absolute competitors.

Dark vaguely remembered that he had played against him in the last in-class game.

At that time, all the little magisters only had one [Phantom Magic Beast], and Doron's Phantom Magic Beast seemed to be a fierce little dinosaur.

But Dark didn't give him a chance to summon the Phantom Magic Beast, but directly used quick attack tactics to defeat him.

"Dark Demon!"

The red-haired boy gritted his teeth and called out Dark's name.

Feeling ashamed of losing the last game, he had worked hard, and kept improving until today’s competition.

In this competition, not only did he successfully advance to the second round, but he also encountered Dark in the second round.

Finally, he could wash away his humiliation!

...

"I didn't expect the first game to be an internal war."

Dark's impression of Doron was actually pretty good. He glanced at him with a pity, and then walked to arena ① with Dianna.

There were a total of 8 matches, in the round of 16, and they were divided into two sets of 4 matches.

Dark would compete in the first set of matches while Dianna would compete in the second set.

...

"Beep-"

Under the whistle reminder of Professor Jones, both the players stepped on the platform.

Dark stood on the five-meter-high player platform and looked down.

Even when he entered the dueling hall for the second time, he still hadn't fully adapted to this large dueling arena.

"Dark." Doron on the opposite player's platform suddenly spoke up.

Dark looked up suspiciously.

Doron said solemnly; "I'll not go easy on you!"

"Uh……"

Despite a sigh in his heart, Dark responded: "Me Too."
