The final result didn’t change. Alice won, while Linley Bart had lost.

Although Linley Bart had lost, he was still one of the top ten students in the academy. He could still represent the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy to participate in the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition.

Although Linley Bart hadn’t won, his name had already spread throughout the empire. This was because he had suddenly become one of the top ten competitors for the academy despite being known as a hedonistic son of a wealthy family.

Furthermore, unlike what others had guessed, he had fought a tough battle to prove his strength.

No matter his spiritual magic or that incomparably powerful fire magic spell, it left everyone in awe.

How much magic did this kid know?

This had caused the outside world to constantly speculate as to how many surprises Linley Bart still had.

It was also because of the intense competition today that the other matches were pushed back by a day because the academy needed time to repair the stage of the magic competition.

This caused this match to become even more popular. Many people were constantly discussing this match.

Generally speaking, the boys were more supportive of Linley while the girls were more supportive of Alice.

Gradually, it became a question of whether the boys or the girls were stronger.

The students were arguing non-stop, and so were the teachers.

In the magic tower.

A meeting with the principal was being held.

They were all seated around a very long magic round table with magical flames burning in the middle.

“Is Linley Bart really that powerful? Isn’t he just a Trainee Apprentice Sorcerer?”

A teacher began to doubt Linley Bart’s abilities. He had originally been Linley’s teacher, but he didn’t believe that Linley had such tremendous power. This completely went against common sense.

“Anything can happen in the sorcery world. In addition, Linley Bart isn’t necessarily a Trainee Apprentice Sorcerer right now. It all depends on the rankings of each person. After the competition is over, Linley Bart will be given a new rank.”

Atais, the dean of education, thought well of Linley Bart and thus said some words for him.

“But could he have cheated in this competition?” Wilson hadn’t forgotten what Linley had done. In his mind, this noble, who was only the son of a duke, couldn’t compare to other nobles.

From the very beginning, he shouldn’t have defeated anyone to get into the top ten of the academy’s internal competition. Thus, Wilson had always felt that Linley had cheated in order to win.

“Under the watchful eyes of all the teachers, how could he possibly cheat?” Dean Atais said. “Teacher Wilson, you are too biased against Linley Bart. I personally think he’s a good student.”

“Really? A good student? I don’t think so.”

Wilson took out a file and gave it to the other teachers, including the principal and vice-principal.

“This is the record of what Linley Bart had done in the past. He could be considered to have done many bad deeds. He had also been tested before and is known to not have any talent for magic. In addition, he had committed all sorts of atrocities, skipped classes, and squandered his money away. It could be said that he isn’t a qualified sorcerer at all.”

“However, before this competition, he had suddenly become very strong and defeated the two princes, Olin and Otto. You should all know that these two princes were originally the most powerful candidates for this competition, but because of Linley, they had to give up on the competition.”

“I can’t help but wonder what sort of secrets Linley Bart has.”

“Teacher Wilson, what are you trying to say?” Dean Atais frowned when he saw the file.

Indeed, prior to this, Linley Bart had only been a wastrel.

Relying on his father’s reputation, he did evil in the academy and bullied the good.

But all of a sudden, he became very strong. His personality had also changed drastically from before. Nowadays, he kept going around the academy to look for something in particular.

Furthermore, they had never seen him cultivate before. How did he become so powerful?

Or could it be that Linley Bart had always been hiding his true power? Only when the competition began did he truly reveal his true power to fight against the other students.

This was too puzzling. If he was so powerful, there would be no reason for him to be injured by Otto. Yet, after being injured by Otto, Linley had suddenly become much stronger. Even the senior Olin was defeated by him.

“There’s only one possibility left. Linley had cheated!” Wilson’s voice was very loud.

Some of the teachers felt the same way too. However, they couldn’t explain how Linley Bart had cheated.

After all, he had used magic on the stage. Everyone had seen it with their own eyes. No one could deny the fact that such powerful magic spells had come from his hands.

“Everyone has seen Linley Bart’s performance in the arena. He couldn’t have cheated, right?” Atais said. “On the arena, regardless of whether one uses magic equipment or other magical techniques, as long as it is within the rules, one will win. What’s more, Linley Bart had lost. Does it make sense to say that he had cheated?”

“Indeed. Linley didn’t cheat on the arena.”

“Then why did you say that Linley was cheating?”

“Although Linley Bart didn’t cheat on stage, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t cheat. It must be understood that the difference between the current Linley Bart and the past Linley Bart is simply too great.”

“What do you mean, Wilson?” The principal suddenly asked.

“What I mean is that perhaps one day, the real Linley Bart might have already disappeared… The current Linley Bart might be fake!”

Many teachers were surprised by Wilson’s words.

They had never thought of this possibility before. In the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy, there were countless powerful sorcerers, countless sentry posts and it even had the secret surveillance of animal spirits.

Therefore, no criminals dared to come here.

Thus, this could be considered the safest place on the entire continent. No one would be willing to come here to be caught.

Hence, everyone’s first reaction to what Wilson suggested was that it was impossible.
