"I will pass on your message. Our Mage Tower concedes defeat in this challenge. Farewell." Albert nodded solemnly, gesturing for the young man from the Mage Tower to help the distraught Hank to his feet. The group descended the platform, heads bowed, and quickly left the venue.
George glanced at Amy, feeling as if a huge rock had been pressed down on his heart. He, the so-called genius, seemed so insignificant in front of her. He knew he had to work even harder to cultivate when he got back.
The Mage Tower group arrived arrogantly, but left trembling with fear, like stray dogs.
"The Mage Tower concedes defeat in this challenge. Chaos Academy wins!" Capas's voice echoed throughout the hall.
"We won!"
The entire venue erupted in celebration, with teachers and students beaming with joy as they cheered and celebrated this hard won victory.
The students of the Magic Academy embraced each other excitedly. They had just endured their darkest losing streak, seemingly on the verge of a clean sweep, when Amy descended like a savior, defeating them in one fell swoop.
"Master, the bad guys all ran away, so did we win?" Amy, still clutching her mage staff, looked at Crassus, somewhat dazed, and asked.
"Yes, they were defeated by Little Amy, so they conceded. Little Amy won this challenge for Chaos Academy." Crassus smiled and nodded, looking at Amy with immense satisfaction. In just one month, Amy had learned to such an extent, completely exceeding his expectations.
Although magic becomes increasingly difficult for mages to progress, but Amy's exceptional talent makes her path in magic easier.
As for the last thing he said to Albert, it was actually meant for the whole world. Many geniuses have appeared on the Nolan Continent, but many of them died young. There are always some people who don't want those geniuses to grow up and affect the overall situation, just like Mai Ge • Alex back then.
So he wanted to show the world his and Yulian's stance: anyone who tried to harm Amy before she grew up should be prepared to face their combined wrath, a fight to the death.
"Me too." Mai Ge slowly clenched his fist and muttered to himself. He had successfully purchased the physical fitness points yesterday, and it was time to continue practicing his swordsmanship. He hoped that if Amy were to be in danger again in the future, he would be the one standing in front of her.
"That's great! I knew Daddy wouldn't lie to me. I really can defeat all the bad guys!" Amy's face lit up with a happy smile, but then she glanced at the doorway and looked at Crassus with some concern, asking, "But Master, why was that Green-haired Monster so sad at the end? Is he really unable to practice magic anymore? Isn't that pitiful?"
"Little Amy, you must remember, in this world, if you are certain that someone is an enemy, then you cannot be merciful to them, otherwise the only ones who will be hurt are you and those close to you." Crassus said earnestly, looking into Amy's eyes.
"Mmm, I understand." Amy looked into Crassus's deep gaze and nodded earnestly.
"Amy! Amy! Amy!"
A cheer erupted from the audience, with students chanting Amy's name as if calling for a hero.
"This is your moment. Of course, you have to get used to it, because from now on, there will only be more and more cheers like this." Crassus said with a smile, slowly walking off the stage and handing it over to Amy.
The deafening cheers almost lifted the roof off the venue. The emotions that had been building up all morning finally exploded at this moment. After four consecutive years of failure, they finally ushered in a hard won victory today. This feeling was extremely strong for both students and teachers.
Amy raised her mage staff, somewhat unaccustomed to the cheers from the crowd, her gaze wandering through the people before finally settling on Mai Ge, who was clapping in the crowd, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"I'll protect this smile." Mai Ge thought to himself, a smile also on his face.
Amy's rise to fame is unstoppable. From today onward, she is destined to become one of the most watched young mages on the Nolan Continent. With fame comes more and more trouble.
"In today's challenge, Amy turned the tide and won victory for Chaos Academy, upholding the honor of the academy. The students of the Magic Academy also fought to the very end, demonstrating an indomitable spirit. Today's honor belongs to you all." Norvan stood up and applauded Amy and the students of the Magic Academy on the stage.
The students of the Magic Academy were both excited and a little embarrassed, but they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
"I'm a student of Chaos Academy, this is what I should do." Amy said to Norvan matter of factly.
"I hope Amy will always remember these words. In the future, Chaos Academy will be proud of you." Norvan smiled.
"I will also be proud of Chaos Academy." Amy nodded earnestly.
The applause from the audience grew even louder. The students' faces were filled with excitement. To have the principal say that Chaos Academy was proud of them was an immense honor, and they had witnessed this moment. Perhaps one day in the future, the principal would say the same thing to them.
"Amy is so amazing! I'm so proud of you!" Daphne clapped her little hands and exclaimed, completely like a little fangirl.
"Excuse me, may I leave the stage now? My arms are getting sore from holding it up." The cheers had been going on for a while, and Amy's smile gradually faded as she looked at Capas standing not far away and asked timidly.
"Of course you can." Capas paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded. This little one was really cute. If Crassus and Yulian hadn't already taken her as their apprentice, he would have wanted to snatch her away as well.
"Okay!" Amy's face immediately lit up with a happy smile. She silently chanted a spell, transforming her magic staff into a small stick and putting it in her pocket, ready to leave the stage.
"Little Amy, on behalf of the Magic Academy's representatives, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for saving this challenge." Klaus led the students from the Magic Academy forward, bowing to Amy with one hand on his chest. The students behind him also bowed in unison, looking at Amy with gratitude.
"You're welcome. But senior brothers, you should also do your best, so that next time the bad guys come, you can defeat them." Amy encouraged them, clenching her little fist, her expression serious like a little adult.
"We will." Klaus nodded, suppressing a laugh, this junior sister was just too adorable.
"Daddy!" Amy turned to leave the stage, then saw Mai Ge standing by the stage and happily rushed over.
"Our Little Amy did a great job today." Mai Ge picked up Amy and spun her around, looking at her with doting eyes. "What do you want to eat for lunch today? Daddy will make it for you when we get back."
