Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 130

Once the vice-headmistress declared the result of the match, Aaron unsummoned his skeletons first and then the ghosts. He wanted Viren to suffer a second more. So, he unsummoned the ghosts that were attacking his mind after unsummoning the skeletons.

He then walked off the stage with a smile on his face.

"Ah, congrats, you have now one point higher than others", Erika congratulated Aaron as he returned to his previous position.

"Thanks and good luck to you for the next match", Aaron said.

At the same time that Aaron returned, the healers’ team took away Viren from the stage to the healer’s ward. The pain inflicted on the mind is no small thing, and that can’t be treated in normal ways.

Mind is, after all, very fragile. Even a small mistake could cause the patient to lose their ability to think, at best, and the worst would be the death of the person. So, they believed it was best to take him to the healer’s ward to heal him.

After Viren was taken away from the stage, it was Erika and Bronn’s turn to fight each other. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

They fought each other fiercely. Though they were confirmed to be a part of the team, their positions in the team were not confirmed. Position in the team determines the resources that they would get.

So, everyone is fighting to be the top one in the team, as they would be the leader of the team, and everyone else has to follow their instructions. Also, the leader would get more resources for training and rewards for their performance in the tournament.

Of course, they would also get the most blame if the team performed badly, but that was out of the question for now. Even if they won’t be able to secure first place, they are sure to get into the top five and wouldn’t bring down the academy’s name.

That they were sure about. So, the worry is only about the rewards that they would get after the tournament, not about losing.

So, both fought fearlessly, but in the end, Erika won the match as she was higher level than Bronn.

Since Viren was taken away and the two had just completed their match, a five-minute break was given before it was Aaron vs Erika.

Though they were friends, both wanted to be at the top. So, they didn’t give the other chance to win easily, but in the end, Aaron won. His attributes and rank of skills are far above hers, which made it easy for him to defeat her.

Since she is a friend, he made sure that the defeat was not humiliating in any manner.

With that, Aaron won two matches, while Erika won only one and Bronn with none.

The only match that remained was Aaron vs Bronn, if Viren doesn’t return to the fight. Whether Aaron wins or Bronn wins, if Viren doesn’t return, the top position belongs to Aaron.

After a five-minute break, the match between Aaron and Bronn started, but it also ended within less than a minute. He was neither a friend nor an acquaintance of Aaron. So, there was no need to waste time and energy for him.

"Aaron Skyhart wins, which leaves him with three wins, while you two have only one and none in your pocket. Viren has yet to fight you, too. I’ll go and check up on him and see if he can fight the matches or not", Lyanna spoke as she disappeared from their view.

While this was going on, the matches from the losers set were still going on, but they were at the end. It can easily be understood as two of the stages were empty, while a match was going on one of them.

It means, either that is the last match of the winner of that match would be fighting one more match to be the winner and the fifth member of the team.

After a few minutes, Lyanna returned to the grounds, shaking her head a bit.

She looked at the three, especially at Aaron, for a bit longer, "All three have fought with each other, and Aaron has already fought with Viren. With three wins, Aaron would be the leader of the team that would participate in the tournament that would be held in a month".

"Viren can’t fight at this moment, but time waits for no one. He would be in fourth place since he lost one match and forfeited the other two matches. As for you two, since Erika won a match, she would occupy the second position in the team, while Bronn, who lost in both matches, would occupy the third position".

"The fifth would join us later. You can return to your houses for now, but remember to return here early in the morning. That’s all for now, dismissed", the Vice-headmistress spoke, and the three left the grounds for their houses.

As they were leaving, Erika congratulated Aaron for becoming their leader. Bronn also congratulated him. Though they didn’t know each other, and Aaron defeated him within a minute, which kind of diminished his power, he didn’t want to antagonise someone like Aaron.

Also, Aaron would be the leader of their team. Since there was no enmity between them, he congratulated Aaron, and Aaron reciprocated in the same way for him making it onto the team.

Making it onto the team that would fight for the academy with students from academies is no small thing. The academy, to save its face, would make sure that its students are prepared enough to survive in that tournament for a long time.

It means personal training sessions from the academy staff, and also a lot of resources.

Who wouldn’t want that, but acquiring them is not easy, as everyone wants them. So, Aaron congratulated Bronn on his achievement.

Erika and Aaron kept talking while walking back to the residency areas, while Bronn just followed behind. He was not well acquainted with the two, so he could only follow behind.

"See you in the morning", Erika waved to Aaron, who went in one direction, while the two went in the other direction.

Aaron waved back, "See you in the morning".
