"Ding! Magic Shield's mood has improved after defeating the enemy. Cultivation speed has doubled."
Upon hearing this, Lorne was stunned. There was such a benefit to winning a battle?
At that moment, the venue was very quiet. There was no applause as Lorne imagined.
The students covered their mouths and laughed. They looked at Bru's pants.
Bru felt that he was about to die. He was too nervous and peed while he was relaxing.
Everyone pointed at him and laughed. Lorne noticed his loss of composure.
"Lorne, just you wait. I'll remember this."
With that, he fled the competition grounds.
Bru had never suffered such humiliation.
In his heart, he already saw Lorne as an enemy he had to defeat.
And Master Camet saw Lorne's unexpected performance.
This made him even more certain of the path Lorne was about to take. Lorne was working too hard.
He did not know if it was because of his cultivation of magic but his mastery of Magic Power had already reached this stage.
It was as if Magic Power was his slave and he could use it whenever he wanted.
If he didn't want to use it, he could just put it aside and use it later on forever. This was a talent that many mages envied.
Of course, this was not the treasure vault. He was just envious of Lorne's talent.
They were even born in this peaceful era. There were no wars or troubles.
The next step was offensive magic. He wondered what kind of surprise Lorne would give him after training.
Seeing Bru run away, everyone began to applaud Lorne. Now no one was unconvinced that Lorne had been accepted as a disciple by Camet.
It had to be known that some of the seniors' Magic Shields had not reached Lorne's level but Lorne had grasped it in a week.
More importantly, he did not mock or berate anyone after defeating his opponent.
Some of the people below the stage had a good change of opinion of Lorne. Due to their understanding of geniuses, there was no genius who wouldn't rebuke after stepping on someone but Lorne was different. He was just a little happy.
However, for the sake of harming others, it was instead that genius called Brulyde who had said those words after failing.
In the end, he could only flee in a sorry state, hence the crowd erupted into applause.
Seeing that the situation was heated, the host ran to Lorne and raised his hand.
"I announce that the winner of this duel is Lorne!"
Following the host's passionate speech, the crowd erupted again.
However, Lorne did not forget his purpose for coming here. However, seeing how passionate the situation was, he did not want to disturb everyone's happy mood by suggesting he had to leave.
It was indeed not a good idea. Lorne was prepared to wait until everyone below the stage calmed down before he went to look for Master Camet.
Seeing that the attention on the stage was not on him, Lorne looked at the host.
He was not very good at handling such situations, so of course, he had to hand it over to a professional.
The host seemed to notice Lorne's distress as well and released his hand.
He whispered into his ear, "Leave the rest to me."
Upon hearing his words, Lorne turned around to look for Master Camet.
Seeing Lorne leave, some people recovered from their excitement.
Seeing that the scene was much quieter than before, the host used his magic wand and said to everyone,
"Everyone, quiet down."
The host thought that it was the effect of the Demonic Noise Rod and his voice was soon heard by every student.
This made them instantly quiet down. They looked curiously at the host, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.
"I know everyone is very excited but today is the morale-boosting rally. Although our dear Lorne is very strong, he has already found a teacher that he likes so you guys don't have to choose anymore."
"So, don't make a fuss and let the morale-boosting rally continue."
After the host finished speaking, waves of urging erupted from below. Everyone wanted to know if they had been accepted as disciples.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Camet left the meeting with Lorne.
And everyone knew that each year, Master Camet would only accept one genius, sometimes not even one.
Therefore, they were not surprised at all when they saw Master Camet leave with Lorne.
A teacher sighed as he watched the two leave.
"You guys are getting comfortable and this Bru is getting real. I was going to take him in as my apprentice but now it's done. Hey."
Until the end of the oath ceremony, Bru was not accepted as a disciple.
The teachers who thought highly of him had given up on him. They could only choose one that was similar to Bru.
However, some were afraid that they could not teach a genius like Bru.
Camet led Lorne to his office and nodded in satisfaction.
"Lorne, you handled today's duel very well. You have the demeanor of an expert."
Lorne smiled sheepishly at Camet's compliment.
The strong would protect the weak, not bully the weak. This was what Master Camet had taught him.
Naturally, he would not let down Master Camet's expectations and was embarrassed to see Lorne.
Camet looked at him kindly and asked, "Lorne, what element attack magic are you going to learn?"
"Teacher, I don't know. I'll listen to you."
"No," Lorne said modestly and Camet knew what Lorne meant.
"If you have any questions, just ask. I want to see what magic you're going to learn."
Lorne shook his head. "Teacher, I've decided to listen to you. After all, you're my teacher. The opinions you give must be better than what I choose."
There was a reason why Lorne did not make a decision. After all, if he needed help to learn magic while playing games, he could do it himself.
He went to look at the guide. If he tried to figure it out by himself, he would easily get the wrong path. This was his experience from the previous world.
Seeing Lorne being so humble, Camet smiled in relief. "Alright, since you've said so, I'll pick one for you. It's very suitable for your current magic."
"Alright, thank you, Teacher!"
Seeing that Camet agreed with Lorne, he smiled happily. Indeed, he had made the right choice.
This way, he would be able to avoid many detours in the future.
He wondered what kind of offensive magic Master Camet would return to him.
After all, the requirements for each spell were different. It was most convenient for him to use any spell during the beginner stage.
This was something that Lorne could not guess. Fire-type attacks were powerful but wide-range attacks could easily injure rookies by accident.
It was hard to say anything else about the other majors. He couldn't think of anything in his head. Lorne could only look at Camet expectantly.
