Abe the Wizard Chapter 557 - Reason

Chapter 557 Reason

10 wizards had finished their examination and only 2 of them had passed. This result was basically rigged.
“K3516, you are next!” Drillmaster Layard yelled.
Abel gazed at Drillmaster Layard. His head commander intuition did not alert him, which made him doubt if his intuition had been damaged. In the past, it would alert him just from a tiny bit of threat.
Abel’s intuition was not like the other head commanders. It was strengthened by his power of will; it had reached a clear godly level.
As he walked towards the magic suppression circle, disgust arose within him as his magic power began to shake. At this moment, he finally understood why so little people would use these magic suppression circles.
Normally, under these circumstances, no wizards would keep stepping forward, but this was an examination. He had to go in.
He felt his magic power being locked down by some kind of strange force when he entered the circle. It did not feel good to lose his magic power; maybe that’s why only 2 wizards had passed.
It would be quite good If a person can unleash around 70% of his ability under this circumstance, let alone those wizards who couldn’t even block properly.
“Grandmaster Abel, that’s you, right?” Said Drillmaster Layard from the center of the circle. A smirk emerged from his face, and his voice was soft. But still, Abel could hear him clearly.
“How did you know?” Abel had already guessed this earlier. Drillmaster Layard had done all of that just to get Abel into this magic suppression circle. He was just confused how he found out about his identity.
“Because I’ve been keeping an eye on you. You know, I’ve exchanged all my war glory for information about your height, ability, and habits!” Said Drillmaster Layard in a soft voice.
At that moment, he was not worrying about anything. Abel was only 3 meters in front of him, that was like a single step for a head commander. No one could save him.
Ever since the first-day, Drillmaster Layard had doubted the identity of Abel. It was just way too hard for the Miracle Spirit to change its decision, only someone like Abel could.
Although Abel was wearing a mask, his build did not change. Anyone who paid close attention would know.
“Do we know each other?” Abel frowned.
Abel felt a little bad for making so many wizards failing their exams.
“Do we? I am a head commander from the Duchy of Keyen. My son stayed in the magic tower, and you’ve killed him. You can’t deny it; from the information I’ve gotten, it was not the first time you used explosives!” Drillmaster Layard clenched his teeth.
He squeezed the big swords in his hand. If he wasn’t planning to torture Abel and enjoy the process of watching him die slowly, he would have killed him in one strike long ago.
It was only at this moment Abel remembered bombing the magic towers in the Duchy of Keyen in pieces back in the days. He did not feel a single bit of embarrassment from that incident. The Duchy of Keyen wizards picked on him first, and they had harmed his family.
Things like this were extremely frowned upon by wizards. They got what they deserved.
Also, back in the days, Abel could only use some extraordinary method to protect his family–which was what led to an explosion that shocked the Holy Continent.
“Yeah right, it was me who bombed the Duchy of Keyen magic towers!” Abel said helplessly.
“You demon, you’ve killed my son!” Drillmaster Layard yelled with a low voice with a face full of emotions.
“It was a battle. The Duchy of Keyen Wizards messed with us first; you are an experienced knight, you should know that the blame should be put on the one who starts the fight, not the one who ends it!” Said Abel looking at the agitated face of Drillmaster Layard.
“You killed my son, and I will kill you today. I’ve looked through your data, your scary summon can kill elite wizards, but too bad you are in here with me!” Said Drillmaster with a malicious laugh pointing at the magic suppression circle.
Abel wanted to tell Drillmaster Layard that he was no match to him even in this magic suppression circle. His intuition did not even warn him a single bit, which meant that Drillmaster Layard was not a threat.
By that point, Drillmaster Layard no longer cared about a single thing in the world. He was just confused about why Abel still remained so calm. “You have no magic, no summons, no magic items, so why ain’t you panicking?”
Drillmaster Cooper saw that Drillmaster Layard was not proceeding with the examination; instead, he was saying something to Abel and got more and more agitated. At last, Drillmaster Cooper heard that he wanted to kill Abel.
“Layard, what do you think you are doing?” Drillmaster Cooper no longer cared about violating rules. He ran inside the station and yelled in front of the magic suppression circle.
“Cooper, this is none of your business. Don’t come closer, if you do, I’ll kill him!” Drillmaster Layard yelled back with a pair of crazy murderous eyes.
“Calm down; this is Miracle City. You can not escape if you kill someone!” Drillmaster Cooper took another step.
“Step back, Cooper. You know how fast my sword is. Step back!” Drillmaster Layard continued to yell.
“Ok ok, just calm down!” Said Drillmaster Cooper helplessly and stepped back.
Drillmaster Layard then turned back to Abel and continued, “Tell me, why ain’t you panicking?”
He just didn’t want Abel to die easily, he wanted everyone to see Abel cry and begging for his life, but Abel just wasn’t even showing a slight bit of panic.
“Drillmaster Layard, I’ll let you strike first, and then I’ll tell you why I’m not panicking!” Said Abel confidently. This confidence was so grand it changed his entire look.
In the past, he acted just like a normal wizard, but at that moment, both head commanders felt his extreme confidence coming through.
If a wizard could be this confident in a magic suppression circle facing a head commander, he was either crazy or actually had some method to strike back. Commander Layard knew Abel was not crazy, Abel was agreed upon by the entire Holy Continent as a genius.
Drillmaster Layard grew seriously. He threw away his normal knight sword and took out a fire magic knight sword from his back.
He couldn’t help but get serious. He was afraid, afraid that he could not complete his revenge. Powerful fire combat qi wrapped around his fire big sword in an instant. The fire was orange in color; it had the force of an intermediate flame.
Drillmaster Layard’s abilities were quite high among head commanders as well. After his fire magic sword had been strengthened by his fire combat qi, he calmed down again. He trusted his sword skills with all his life.
He had killed countless orcs with his sword. He had even assassinated a head commander with the same rank. His sword skill had never failed him.
As long as he had that fire magic sword in his hand, he would be in full fighting mode.
Drillmaster Layard roared as he unleashed a strike with full force towards Abel. Drillmaster Cooper also yelled outside the circle. “Stop!”
The fire magic sword glowing in orange flames speeded towards Abel’s neck. At that moment, the power of will in Abel’s brain twitched. All of a sudden, the whole world slowed down. As Drillmaster Layard’s sword was about to make contact with Abel, Abel stepped forwards, just like taking a walk in the park.
With this step, Abel arrived in front of Drillmaster Layard’s arm. He then gently tapped Drillmaster Layard’s arm with his lightweight long sword.
