Magic System in a Parallel World-Chapter 161 Kevin Stoner

Chapter 161 Kevin Stoner

"You cheeky little brat. Why are you acting so arrogant already?" Eve said to Leo when he returned.

"What are you talking about? They were looking down on me, so I decided to open their eyes a little."

"Open their eyes? You did the complete opposite! Anyways, the audience will stop underestimating you now— at least some of them. While your performance was magnificent, in the end, you had only used a Tier 2 spell, and people will find ways to make excuses for you."

Just as Eve anticipated, many of the audience still couldn't believe that Leo was qualified to participate in the tournament, even though he's already defeated 2 opponents, and both were overwhelming victories.

"His Flame Blast might be powerful, but if that's all he can do, he won't go far!"

"Those two opponents he'd luckily beat weren't that strong to begin with."

With that being said, the true experts within the audience didn't look down on Leo, as they had a good grasp on his capabilities after just watching his two matches.

"Leo Magnus… He's that kid who consumed the Fruit of Magic Awakening, right? He has potential," said the representative from the Light Family, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance.

"I really want to see if he can use other magic spells," said the Thorns Family's representative, who was a beautiful young woman and also sitting beside the Light Family's representative.

In fact, all four Celestial Families were sitting on the same row beside each other towards the front of the stadium, even though they weren't exactly on good terms with each other.

"Regardless of his potential, I still think he shouldn't have consumed that Fruit of Magic Awakening." The representative for the Scarlet Family coldly snorted, and he continued, "It would've been far more beneficial if our Scarlet Eyes had consumed it."

"Beneficial for whom? The Scarlet Family? You already have the Scarlet Eyes. Leave some resources for the rest of us, won't you?" The representative for the Tempest Family sneered.

Naturally, when they mentioned the Scarlet Eyes, they were talking about Lia Scarlet, as it was treated as some sort of prestigious title.

"Speaking of the Scarlet Eyes, how is she faring? Is she still killing her fellow students at school?" The Thorn Family's representative suddenly asked with a cunning smile on her face.

"Are you asking if she can control her eyes yet?" The Scarlet Family's representative chuckled before speaking, "According to the Scarlet Eyes herself, she has found a method to keep her eyes under control."

"What?! Are you serious?!" The other three representatives were shocked when they heard this, and they felt a little nervous as well.

The Scarlet Eyes are one of the most powerful traits in the whole world. The moment Lia Scarlet has complete control over it, she would take over the world— at least that's what many experts speculated.

This is why the other families were nervous to hear that Lia had found a way to control her eyes, as this meant that it was only a matter of time before she became a powerhouse.

"What is this method she found? I'm intrigued." The Tempest Family's representative asked.

"So what? So you can hinder us? No thanks!" The Scarlet Family's representative quickly rejected it.

However, in truth, he didn't want to say it because he didn't know the answer either. When Lia Scarlet told her family that she found a way to control her Scarlet Eyes, they were overwhelmed with joy, but Lia didn't tell them the method for some reason, and despite pressure from her parents, Lia didn't utter a single word.

In the end, they had no choice but to trust Lia's words and hope that she will get her eyes under control as soon as possible.

Sometime later, Eve sent Kevin onto the stage.

"Kevin Stoner, nice to meet ya." Kevin, who was quite bulky compared to his opponent, amused the audience.

Once the match started, Kevin immediately enhanced his body with earth magic, covering his body in a rock-like armor, which increased his defensive abilities tremendously.

"Flamethrower!" His opponent released a line of flames that engulfed Kevin's body.

However, almost as though he couldn't even feel it, Kevin started walking towards his opponent in a slow and casual manner.

"You will need more than that to damage me. Come on, I will even let you cast your strongest spell." Kevin said in a provocative manner.

His opponent stopped using Flamethrower and immediately began casting a Tier 4 magic spell.

Kevin kept his words and stood there while his opponent took the time to cast and overcharge his spell.

A few moments later—

"Fire Bomb!" The student shot out a large ball of fire that detonated the moment it landed on Kevin's body.

BOOM!

The explosion from the attack was even more powerful than Leo's Flame Blast, causing the stadium to shake a little.

However, Kevin emerged from the flames a moment later without a scratch on his body.

"Why don't you give up? You won't be able to defeat me if you cannot even damage my armor." Kevin said to his opponent, who was gritting his teeth from frustration.

Not wanting to surrender, the student continued to cast magic spells one after another, until he was out of mana.

During this whole time, Kevin just stood there with a bored expression on his face.

"I-I surrender…" The student eventually gave up and fell to his knees. It was a devastating loss for him even though he didn't suffer any damage, and the humiliation he experienced just now was indescribable.

"As expected of the Immovable Mountain, Kevin Stoner. Many of the students in this tournament won't be able to get past his defense, much less damage him." Thalia smiled from above.

In the end, Kevin decided to stay on the stage for the rest of the matches, defeating the Flying Leviathan Academy without using a single attack.

"Hahaha!" Kevin laughed out loud in a prideful manner as he walked down the stage.

He turned to look at Leo and spoke, "If you can do what I just did, I will recognize you!"

"I don't need your recognition." Leo casually shrugged.
