Chapter 591 Now! Prove Your Qualification to Stand Before Me!
So… now two choices lie before me: should I calm the situation or admit that it is indeed true?
At the end of the day, it’s just a matter of trouble or no trouble. When the time comes to enter the Expanding Realm, if I offend them in any way, they might cause me trouble. Don’t underestimate a woman’s sense of revenge, after all… many people present are nearing their thirties; why should I stoop to the level of old aunts?
I have to say that at this moment, Liliana mustered the courage to come and pick a fight with me, probably waiting for me to say this one sentence, right?
If I were to say, “It is indeed true,” I reckon Liliana would have laughed out loud on the spot.
So since she has taken this approach, why should I be polite with her?
Even if she didn’t mean it this way, she acted this way; thinking too much about her is just being overly sentimental on my part.
Just when everyone was waiting for my answer, the Box of Books landed steadily in my hand.
Perhaps I hadn’t appeared in front of everyone for too long, and they were wondering if I was easy to handle?
“You! What do you want to do!”
Liliana’s eyelids twitched involuntarily at the sudden appearance of the book in my hand. Even recalling it brought back that faint, painful feeling on her face.
“What do I want to do? I’m giving you the answer, Liliana.”
After I said this, I suddenly appeared in front of her. Before she could react, the side of the Box of Books appeared against her cheek, “I said you have no qualification; you simply don’t!”
Once my words were out, she was struck back by a pure force and was sent flying. At the moment she was sent out, everyone heard the piercing sound of bones cracking.
Some people instinctively felt goosebumps from this; such a level of power without any spell fluctuations scared anyone!
Those spectating also instinctively realized that if they were to fight against the opponent in the future, they would absolutely avoid close combat.
However, Liliana was naturally not a pushover. At the instant she was hit away, she utilized the power of her spells to regain balance. The pain was solely on her cheek; she hadn’t had a single moment to react, not even noticing when the other party made their move—she took this hit without any awareness.
But before she could regain her balance and land, a figure appeared in front of her, grabbing her collar with one hand.
“How dare you act here!” Her voice was somewhat slurred, yet despite having a facial fracture, she could still articulate clearly, even when speaking to me. I must admit her vitality was quite resilient.
“If you want to use the school rules regarding student protection to seek self-preservation, I don’t mind; but I haven’t used any spells. Guess how many words the mentors will say to me?” I held Liliana’s collar with one hand and the Box of Books with the other, bl**d trailing from the corner of her mouth.
I have to say this was quite a lethal statement. Now you are a teaching assistant; are you really going to use the school rules meant for maintaining order among students to protect yourself?
If she nods, if she gives in, she will never hold her head high among the teaching assistants, and even if she chooses to stand firm, she wouldn’t even have the ability to bite back at me. Thus, there was only one choice left for her.
To use spell violence in rebellion.
And once she uses magic, she is clearly in the wrong.
However, being in the wrong is still better than continuing to be embarrassed like this!
In the next moment, a bolt of lightning erupted from her body, accompanied by her furious voice, releasing a terrifying power.
And I quickly realized what she was using.
Transformation Spell.
A very wise choice; in the face of a disadvantage in physical ability, transformation spells are indeed the best way to bridge the gap.
But she was facing me.
Not long after admission, I was able to exchange a Fireball Spellbook for her Excessive Consumption Transformation Spell backlash. Does she really think I haven’t gotten stronger at all?
As her transformation spell gradually revealed its might, the hand that reached out had already transformed, trying to slap away the hand that was holding her collar, crackling with menacing lightning.
But I gave her no chance; a corner of the Box of Books suddenly disrupted her transformation spell’s ritual.
Originally scattered strands of lightning forced the onlookers back, but now Liliana directly faded away, her spell violently disrupted, creating quite a bit of trouble for her.
And she had to disperse that portion of magic power to avoid a secondary backlash.
Suddenly, volatile magic spread out from the spellbook, creating a series of explosive sounds.
This move truly astonished the onlookers, as there were no spells colliding; I had directly broken her transformation spell!
This technique was indeed terrifying, but it did not create a deterrent effect.
Some people seemed to have thought of something and instinctively laughed.
After all, this rising individual had such a rapid ascent; her public first battle was against a transformation spell, and it was an Excessive Consumption Transformation Spell. Liliana was truly harmed by her habitual thinking… wasn’t that blow just now enough to knock some sense into her?
At this moment, a voice came from the back of the crowd.
“What is going on here?”
Hearing this voice, everyone instinctively made way, revealing the two main characters in the center.
“Teacher Lina, I’m stopping this dangerous teaching assistant who is using a transformation spell; that should be fine, right?” Seeing the crowd part, I had met Teacher Lina, who had been drawn by the commotion, accompanied by a few other teachers, all of them watching the scene with great interest.
“I see, indeed, using dangerous transformation spells in the teaching area must be halted. Now that you are all teaching assistants, do not act on emotion.” Teacher Lina gave a brief admonition, and it wasn’t directed solely at me.
After speaking, she left with the other two mentors.
After hearing Teacher Lina’s words, everyone understood that this was tacit approval. The extraordinary mentors are strong; everyone present was a teaching assistant; who wouldn’t know?
Teacher Lina definitely knew the ins and outs of the situation, how things had developed, even who struck first, but… Teacher Lina still did not stop it.
This wasn’t neutrality but rather an indulgence of the strong.
“Yang Yuelan!” Once Teacher Lina was gone, Liliana could no longer contain her eruption. She angrily shouted my name, as if wanting to chew it up.
“Teacher Lina has left; you should feel scared, not become reckless.” I retorted mercilessly.
After that, I didn’t say anything further; I simply pointed the Box of Books at Liliana.
The Heart Realm Field then expanded!
The reshaped Field Order enveloped Liliana and all those who chose to stay and watch.
Some people instantly sensed something was wrong, while others didn’t yet realize what was happening.
“Now I give you ten seconds to prove your worthiness to fight me.” My voice, accompanied by the order of the field, directly resonated in everyone’s ears.
I gazed at Liliana, realizing that my previous attack had hit her spell ritual and made me discover something, think of something.
I was so eager to release the field… I only wanted to verify my guess as soon as possible. If it’s valid… then in the Witch Academy, no one would dare to bully me!
Or even… avoid me.
“Ten…”
“What! What did you do?” As the only person targeted in this realm.
At this moment, Liliana could only feel as if even the air was against her, a psychological sense of suffocation making her uneasy.
The former fear had already germinated in her heart, and her current helplessness served as its nutrient.
As I counted down, the tension deepened her fear, and her released spells were continuously increasing in power, from tens to hundreds…
No matter the spell, it seemed it couldn’t touch a hair on the person before her!
This feeling of powerlessness was even heart-wrenching for those watching from the side, but the damage from those spells was bombarding her.
They also had to uphold protection spells, but none of those attacks came even close to that figure.
Keen-eyed people saw the attacks being detonated by some unknown power resembling runes halfway through, yet there was no sign of spellcasting from the opponent.
That was the most terrifying part!
They couldn’t comprehend how this was done; they had even tried to get into Liliana’s perspective, using a more rational approach to hypothesize battle tactics.
However, they found that they seemed unable to surpass Liliana, even her instinct in battle, which was still among the top tier in the teaching assistant circles. Besides, many of these teaching assistants had not even been known for their strength.
Time passed incrementally, and I also tested myself, ultimately… arriving at a result I was very satisfied with. The order of the field could even encompass the Void Rifts of the Great Spellbook.
Let alone something that doesn’t belong to one person?
“Three… Two…”
“Yang Yuelan! You are forcing me! Clearly, you struck first! Why!”
Liliana shouted at me in anger; her strongest trump card, the Thunderous Judgment Spell, was enough to stand strong in the Witch Academy with the name of Powerful, helping her win numerous battles.
However, she subjectively overlooked an issue she was unwilling to face.
That was the last time she used this means but was still mercilessly defeated head-on!
Seeing this familiar momentum, the surrounding would-be witches also revealed unfavorable expressions; they naturally understood the terror of the Excessive Consumption Spellbook. None of them had protection spellbooks at that level, and they were so close.
Excessive Consumption protection spellbooks were quite rare within the academy, and lamentably, the one who possessed such a spellbook was not among them.
“One.”
With the final countdown ringing out decisively, I did not give the opponent any more chances. At this moment, it felt as if time had slowed down, yet my voice still echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Not long after my admission, my mentor informed me of one thing, which is that before ascending to an Extraordinary Witch…”
I walked forward against the arc of her lightning, and she seemed to instinctively pull away at a considerable distance, believing she had the advantage in physical strength.
But at this moment, Liliana could only watch helplessly as I approached her.
That book-like weapon which already triggered her stress reaction struck her chest once more, as if the Excessive Consumption Spellbook she had unleashed was about to be forcibly interrupted.
This was the Excessive Consumption Spellbook! Even if it was a Universal Spellbook…
This was her only thought at that moment.
But no one was there to explain why.
Those who are willing to live within the cognitive constructs they built for themselves are always the most helpless when their understanding is mercilessly shattered.
“Before ascending to an Extraordinary Witch, a spellbook has never truly belonged to you.”
Once this sentence was said, a question they had never dared to face was ruthlessly exposed at that moment.
And Liliana, who was specially taken care of by me, felt an intense unease rise in her heart after hearing my words.
But no matter how uneasy they felt, the Box of Books unleashed countless strands of Knowledge Power that continuously derived in the air.
The assisting witches who recognized this information only had time to discern and differentiate those techniques and knowledge, but their thoughts couldn’t keep up with the formula’s deductions. Before they could marvel at this move, the Knowledge Power had already transformed into annotations from the Box of Books, bestowing it with a more mysterious effect.
Liliana was sent flying once again, and she found herself unable to control her body. However, that was already the least of her worries; shortly after, her back was hit hard again, and the figure she had been facing disappeared.
Countless strands of Knowledge Power erupted from her chest like chains.
Each strand of Knowledge Power was wrapped around a spellbook that pierced through the Earth Vein Shackles inside her.
She watched in terror as those spellbooks she had once controlled slipped away from her grasp until her body collapsed before everyone, the scattered spellbooks lying around their feet.
But no one dared to pick them up.
“Don’t pick them up! Those are my spellbooks! Mine!”
Liliana could no longer control her emotions, screaming hoarsely even when no one was bothering with her spellbooks.
In a panic, she scrambled to the ground, stuffing each spellbook back inside her body.
Each book was painstakingly examined… but none seemed to be what she hoped to find.
“Looking for this?”
My voice sounded behind her, abruptly bringing people back to their senses, reminding them that everything was not over, shocking their breath.
Liliana turned to see me standing not far away.
My right hand extended holding the Box of Books, upon which rested a spellbook surrounded by countless sealed runes.
And I tilted the Box of Books before everyone, seemingly dumping garbage as I threw the spellbooks onto the ground.
“Now! Prove your qualification to stand before me! Otherwise… watch your proud spellbooks dissipate right before your eyes.”
