Chapter 14 Paying the Price

"Oooh! "

Karl was kicked straight to the ground, covering his stomach in pain, a trace of bile dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, do you want to hug a woman for show in front of me even like that?"

Rollin glanced at the young girl named Helen as if he were looking at a joke. And for some reason, Helen was stared at by Rollin and took a few steps back in fear, as if she had been glared at by a viper.

Karl was blue in the face, having made a fool of himself in front of Rollin, and in front of a woman! Now his plan to get a girl fell through.

"Rollin!!! I'm going to kill you!"

Karl yelled furiously. Fortunately, the invigilator stepped in just in time to stop him, otherwise Karl's secretly prepared magic would have been smeared on Rollin's face.

"Have you forgotten the rules of the academy? If you want to fight, the next opportunity will be for you to compete!"

At the order of the invigilator, Karl angrily lowered his left hand which had gathered magic power, and with a wave of his sleeve, he straightened his clothes and respectfully said to the invigilator, "Forgive my powerlessness just now, but teacher, I have doubts about Rollin's result. He is suspected of cheating!"

When Karl said this, the surrounding cadets also started to whisper.

It is true that Rollin's performance was too amazing. Throughout the history of the Imperial Academy of Magic since its establishment, who has been able to step on the top of the Tower of Erosion? Even a fifth-ranked senior magician couldn't do it!

And Rollin was just a loser, how could he pass the test without even having a magic power!

"It must be cheating! He must be carrying magic props that resist black air!"

"What a despicable person, do you think that these small actions you do secretly would escape the eyes of the teachers and the head of the academy?"

Seeing the people around him start to close in on his side, Karl's face showed a slight evil smile.

Rollin, you're going to die this time!

"Cheating?"

Rollin couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard that word, and he relaxed his body and spread his arms, completely ignoring the eyes of the people around him, "Well, if you tell me how I cheated, I'll admit it."

“Rollin Must be bluffing”! Karl was sure enough. How could Rollin do that with his capital!

He walked up and examined Rollin's body, even using magic to check him for suspicious magic traces, yet the end result made him start to doubt his life.

"How is that possible, why not!"

Karl couldn't believe that he couldn't detect how Rollin had cheated with his own ability as a level 4 intermediate wizard!

"Of course not, because I didn't cheat at all."

Rollin pushed Karl away, and frankly being touched by Karl's body made him feel sick.

"Honestly, Karl didn't find out how I was cheating, what did the college say?"

The proctor hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll need to ask the dean about that."

Although the invigilator is a teacher, he is not omnipotent. There are times when it is really difficult to detect a student's cheating tactics, and this is when the dean, who is watching the entire completion test, needs to make a ruling.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Rollin nodded with the most basic of courtesies.

"Hmph! With the dean as witness, you're dead!"

And Karl refused to give up yet, rushing at Rollin viciously.

"I think you'd better care about yourself first, hurry up and think about when to break that wand."

Rollin mentioned it, and Karl's face grew whiter, yet when he heard the message from the proctor afterward, his steps faltered for a moment.

"Rollin did not cheat and passed the test!"

"How is that possible!"

Rollin gave Karl a look and said slowly, "Idiot, only a loser like you would have only climbed up to the eighth floor. Open your dog eyes wider, I'm walking once to show you!"

Rollin really cursed the whole school with his words, and everyone was branded as a "loser" in his mouth, but no one dared to speak up, only to swallow their anger with red faces.

"Get out of the way!"

Rollin made his way through the crowd and directly to the next No.5 Battling Arena, yet barged right into their Tower of Erosion.

One floor ...... two floors...... three floors ......

At this point, countless pairs of eyes were glued to the Tower of Erosion, all afraid of missing the slightest detail.

"Ten floors!"

Rollin climbed to the top of the tower once more, then leapt down with ease.

At this moment, no one dared to say another word as Rollin proved himself in action and slapped all the students in the face.

Waste? Who exactly is a loser? Who is a loser? Have you ever seen any trash who could shatter the Tower with one foot?

"Karl, it’s time for you to break your wand."

Rollin made a please gesture to Karl.

"You ......!"

Karl shivered and turned blue, breaking his wand in front of countless people. Thinking about this, where was he going to put his face in the future?

"I don't think the fourth-ranked wizard is going to tell a lie, do you? Well, after all, I'm only a apprentice magician."

Rollin stressed the word "apprentice magician". At this moment, the name of the "apprentice magician" had become a powerful weapon against Karl. Worse than an apprentice magician, this intermediate magician is really useless!

"You'll pay for this soon!"

Karl said viciously, taking out the wand he had around his waist, then snapping it hard and tossing it aside.

"I'll wait."

Watching Karl's departing back, Rollin found himself emotionless.

For Karl, Rollin had no feelings, not even hatred. The reason why Rollin humiliated Karl was that he brought disgrace on his own head.

"Rollin, is it really okay for you to do this. Karl will definitely get back at you."

Munster walked over to Rollin's side, and today he saw what it meant to be truly strong.

Rollin is the real powerhouse! Although Rollin doesn’t have no magic power, he can trigger miracles. And Munster somehow vaguely felt that if he followed Rollin he could definitely see the world differently!

"Karl? I'm sorry, I don't give a damn about him. If he wants to die, he can just come."

Rollin shook his gray cloak which seemed to take on a new meaning in everyone's eyes at that moment.

"How did Rollin do that?"

At the moment, not far away, Felina stood up and stretched her neck to look away, her hands clasping each other nervously.

When she saw the confrontation between Rollin and Karl, she was the one who was most worried. And it was heartbreaking to see the friendship that used to be there turn into the tattered state today.

But luckily, Rollin passed the test. Felina felt it unbelievable no matter how she thought about it.

In the past, Rollin was arrogant and ignorant to an extreme, even making people feel that he was a psychopath. Sometimes Felina felt that Rollin had changed. But in hindsight, Felina thought that it seems that Rollin really had the strength to show off in front of people.

At least, the act of stepping on the top of the Tower of Erosion and breaking it was something Felina could never do on her own.

Rollin...... is still as good as ever. Felina’s eyes flashed and thought that it seems to have seen the dark-haired teenager who knew everything.
