The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

Chapter Twenty-Four: Easily Defeating Opponents in the Preliminary Round

"Hey, junior, I still advise you to give up as soon as possible."

At this moment, the gray-haired fourth-year student still wore a lewd and evil smile, as if he looked down on me at all.

However, there are so many nobles in red robes and teachers and students from other schools watching here, I can't possibly lose face and give up because of this.

In any case, I will fight with all my might.

"Senior, are you really strong enough to easily defeat him?"

Instantly, the corners of my mouth turned up slightly, and I immediately mocked him.

Anyway, I've already seen his strength clearly. Unless this fourth-year student learns high-level magic or the highest-level mid-level wood magic in the past six months, his chances of winning are basically zero.

"Hey, little junior, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? I'm already a fourth-year student, and you're just a second-year student. Aren't you being far too arrogant?"

Upon hearing my sarcasm, the fourth-year student couldn't contain his emotions any longer and slapped his thigh in annoyance.

"Senior, can you tell what this is?"

As I spoke, I lifted my black wizard's cloak, revealing a badge with three dazzling golden stars.

"Uh...this is a high-ranking mage's medal. Could it be that you are...the Holy Princess Ivy, whom the King has appointed?"

Sure enough, the golden advanced mage medal extinguished the senior's arrogance, and he began to panic.

"That's right, it's me. Are you going to surrender or not? Otherwise, you'll definitely lose badly."

Actually, I really wanted to win without a fight, but... as a nobleman, even if I encounter a formidable opponent, I absolutely cannot give up easily.

Because sometimes, face is more important than material possessions and money.

"Heh, you probably just happened to be lucky enough to pass the advanced mage level exam. I... I will never admit defeat."

"Oh, is that so?"

It seems that, even though I know my opponent very well, I still can't underestimate him. Because often, even an opponent I can beat can make a big mistake and fail. I've seen too many examples of this in anime and games.

"The first round of the Red-Clad Nobles' ranking competition begins!"

In an instant, the referee gave the order, and my first match began.

Without saying a word, the fourth-year student immediately distanced himself from me. It was clear that although he was very nervous, his mind was quite clear.

Wood-attribute moves can reach anywhere, no matter how far away they are. As long as he keeps enough distance and unleashes his signature wood-based magic attack from afar, he does have a chance of winning.

But he definitely hasn't seen my magic before.

Because my magic attributes are lightning and fire, whichever magic I use completely counters his wood-type moves.

He's just wasting time and stalling for time.

"Great spirit of the wood, please..."

However, I really want you to unleash your wood-attribute magic, but I... right now I want to completely purify the impurities in my fire and lightning-attribute magic and try to cast fusion magic, so I don't want to waste any time on this senior who is destined to fail.

"Fireball!"

Without saying a word, I raised my magic wand and aimed it at the fourth-year student who was still trembling as he chanted the spell, and launched a huge fireball.

Sure enough, the fireball spell, after I purified the impurities from the flames, was incredibly powerful, and the color of the flames wasn't a mix of red and yellow; instead, it was more reddish.

Could it be that... once completely purified, this flame will transform into a true crimson flame (ten times, or even more than ten times, hotter than ordinary flames, incapable of incorporating any impurities, and considered a top-tier flame in terms of power)? That would be truly terrifying.

Just then, the reddish fireball spell exploded violently on the ground in front of him, and he was instantly blasted off the ground and crashed into the wall, which was not far away, and then embedded in the wall.

Everyone present was stunned when they saw my fireball spell, which had no incantation and was incredibly powerful.

Actually, I was stunned when I saw the power of this fireball spell.

I never imagined that someone who missed him would have such power. If I had hit him directly, I would definitely have been arrested as a murderer...

However, it seems I've already killed quite a few people since I came into this world... Although it was all out of necessity, it's true that I have killed people.

So, the reason I've become so ruthless towards my enemies is probably because I've killed people.

At this moment, I slowly walked forward and saw the senior who was still embedded in the wall. Although he was not directly hit, the injury caused by the explosion was not too serious, but it was not light either. However, his glasses were missing lenses, and his eye sockets were distorted and deformed.

I saw him trembling inside the wall, his body covered in soot from the fireball explosion.

Perhaps he was genuinely frightened; if things had been any more stimulating, I believe he would have fainted.

"So, do you want to continue?"

"No...no, I...I...I abstain, waa ...

As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"The winner is Ivy from Class A, Year 2!"

At this point, even the teacher, who was acting as the referee, seemed incredulous and stammered as he announced my victory.

After the announcement, almost no one on the field made a sound, perhaps because they were still recovering from the moment I cast the spell.

However, on the stage, the student council president, one of the Four Heavenly Kings and a top expert in the academy, had no expression on her face at this moment. Perhaps she had also realized that I was a formidable competitor.

Later I learned that the Four Heavenly Kings were not the academy's Four Heavenly Kings, but rather selected through individual magic combat competitions based on the standards of advanced magic academies worldwide.

Basically, it happens every two to three years. The eight strongest students from each advanced magic academy are selected to compete with the top four students from each of the eight advanced magic academies in the world to win the title.

The selected participants are primarily chosen from students in grades three through six. Second-year students who are exceptionally outstanding may also participate, but the selection process requires recommendations and careful screening from Vice Dean Cabinfen, the Dean, and other faculty members, including students and teachers.

Whether I'm selected or not doesn't really matter to me, because all I really want is to build a harem. I'm not really that interested in competing for the top four spots in the world's academy students.

So, after the competition ended, I started to find a corner to purify the purity of my fire magic. Because after purifying the fire, I still had to purify the lightning. It was so troublesome! ┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaah.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Being Recruited by the Student Council President

However, I'm not too worried about what will happen to Lila and Elena right now.

Well, to put it simply, we analyzed the weaknesses and points of concern for each of their opponents last night, so if we lose again, it would be a huge embarrassment.

Most importantly, I trust them. After all, they are my beloved apprentices and my beloved harem. Even so, how could I possibly do anything to harm them?

"So you're Ivy."

At that moment, a voice that was slightly childish but also somewhat mature came from behind me.

I quickly turned my head to look, and I was suddenly shocked to find that it was actually the student council president of Allen Advanced Magic Academy.

She had a pair of eyes as clear as jade, a tall and shapely figure, and an elegant and charming demeanor. In particular, her long, glossy black, waist-length curly hair possessed an indescribable allure.

I don't think I did anything wrong, so why is the student council president calling me?

"Um... um."

"Hello, my name is Becky Chaskafil. As you probably already know, I am the student council president of this academy."

“Um… My name is Ivy Invisdale, nice to meet you.”

However, I was completely bewildered at that moment. I was actually worried that I might have done something wrong, which was why the student council president saw me.

Actually, in my original world, I had a conflict with the student council president. Now, I'm afraid that if I have a conflict with the student council president in this magic academy, my future days will be very difficult.

"I've already seen your match. Ivy, you're really strong, even stronger than my vice president, Jarissa. How about joining our student council after the match?"

Hearing this, I suddenly felt relieved.

Oh, so it wasn't that I did anything wrong, but rather they wanted to recruit me into the student council...

However, I am a person who... cherishes freedom and doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, so there's no need to consider it at all; I should just refuse now.

"I……"

"You don't need to give me an answer right now. Actually, I don't like to force people to do things. In the end, it's up to you to make the decision."

With that, she turned around and headed back to where she had originally entered.

Because her duel is next.

"If you can, come to the student council office after the competition. I'll be waiting for you anytime."

Then she gently stroked her long, smooth, dark green curly hair that reached her waist, and left without looking back.

However, this student council president is quite unique, which is something that interests me.

Unfortunately, I will not join any clubs or student council no matter what, because that would delay the time it takes for me to become stronger.

So, I'm sorry, Becky.

So I circled around to the back of the fifth duel arena. There were hardly any people around here, and it was surrounded by trees, so this was the best place to continue removing impurities from my flames.

It's true, I didn't expect that after my flames became stronger, my magic power consumption would also increase.

In addition, I had been forcibly purifying the impurities in the fire magic, and in less than half an hour, I had already started to break out in a cold sweat on my forehead.

It seems we should call it a day.

Today's results are pretty good. The fire magic I've gathered so far is only yellow at the tip of the flame, which means it's been purified by about 90%. I'll rest for a few hours before continuing. I hope that after tomorrow morning's battle, my fire magic will be able to produce pure, red flames.

In that case, as long as I don't run into the student council president, I should be able to handle things easily.

Ideally, I'd rather not run into Lira and Elena, because I don't want my own people killing each other ┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaah.

About ten minutes later, I heard a sound. That was Lila's sound, so without saying a word, I went back from the back of the fifth duel arena and went to meet her.
