Chapter 782 Part 1: Top 25


    From MC''s perspective:


    I woke up a few hourster. Then I found that my status had recovered to normal. I know this was possible because of high-grade healing potions. Some of them were part of the loot.


    Then I sat up straight and checked themunication watch. I noticed a few text messages and calls from Carolina te.


    Seeing that I guessed she must be in the Sub-Taboo Hall. But I don''t want to go outside now. It would attract people. More importantly, I''mzy right now.


    Shaking my head, I started typing a reply to her. After sending the message, I decided to spend the rest of the time reading books.


    Time passed,


    The duels are held sessfully in the following days. In this way, the internalpetition is getting closer to selecting the top 10 ranks.


    As the duels are ending one after another, some of the names mentioned in the articles are doing well. They have managed to win their following duel as well.


    Jennie, Miranda, Kurtz, and Mechanical Wizard won their respective duels. Mike Curtis has managed to win his duel in his style.


    Soon, the predictions for the top 10 are finalized.


    A few dayster,


    10 A.M,


    The name list was announced. Everyone was expecting, there would be duels held again in rounds. But to everyone''s surprise, the finals of the internalpetition will be an open challenge.


    Anyone can change the 1st spot to the 25th spot. Those who managed to hold the position until the end will be finalized.


    There are 25 wizard names in the list. They were selected from the top 50 duels. The finalpetition will begin one dayter.


    Today wizard students have time to rest and prepare.


    Dean Tower:


    The old man Dean was in deep thought. The final open challenge theme was proposed by him. In front of him, there is a big screen disying the names of 25 genius wizard students.


    But some of the genius wizard students didn''t face each other in thispetition. So he was not sure about their strength.


    So this open challenge will give opportunity to everyone. These wizard students can challenge whoever they want. In this way, he can truly select the top 10 genius wizard students.


    Meanwhile,


    The Council elders of the different Halls are pleased by the decision as well. In this open challenge, their wizard students can have the opportunity to get 1st position. If any of their wizard students can hold the top 10 positions.


    Then the reputation of their wizard hall will soar to great heights.


    Sub-Taboo Hall:


    Gilbert Reese appeared in the Hall. Beforeing here, he asked Vincent Carey and Carolina te to present here as well.


    On the other hand, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. This open challenge came as a surprise. In this way, everyone can get equal opportunities.


    Gilbert sat on the seat before looking towards both of them.


    "Both of you did well so far. I''m d that one of you was able to enter the top 25 positions," He said to them.


    Carolina''s eyes sh withplicated emotions. She was hoping to get into the position as well. But it''s a pity, her strength was weak.


    Gilbert saw through her thoughts. He didn''t want to hit her confidence. He just stated the facts.


    "Carolina, you don''t have to feel so low. Your magic is different. You can y a maximum role in suitable territories. Like swamps, forests, and other simr areas."


    "Here on the dual tform. Your magic was limited by the terrain," He added.


    "Senior brother, you are right," I second his opinion as well.


    For the past few days, Carolina was in a state of low confidence. She is behaving like she has lost all her hope.


    Carolina realized her mood was affecting others around her. To be honest, the wizard students in the 25 positions are deserving.


    She can''t beat any one of them at the current stage.


    "Alright, I know the reality. But I will continue to improve myself," She said.


    Hearing that Gilbert Reese was satisfied. He then turned towards Vincent and said, "I know you are strong. But I don''t know how much you are hiding your strength."


    He then continued to say, "But I hope you can get into the top 10. It''s very important to our wizard hall."


    A quick gleam shes in my surprise. Lately, there has been a rumor floating around the academy. But I don''t know who spread it but it seems there is some truth to it.


    Then I looked at him and asked, "Senior brother, why is it important?"


    Gilbert Reese thought it was not secretly. Because the other 2 academies have said openly that there will be a bigpetition jointly held by the 3 academies together.


    "The top 10 level-5 and level-6 wizards will be eligible for thepetition conducted by 3 big academies together."


    "There will be duel rounds as well. I heard that rewards are rich. Some of the exclusive rewards are said to be ced as rewards," Gilbert revealed the truth.


    Gasp!


    Carolina let out a small surprised gasp. Because she is imagining something else. She got her fate changed by consuming the special relic.


    For a second, she thought that exclusive reward might be one of these relics. Then shook her head in denial. It''s not easy toe across such a miraculous treasure.


    On the other hand, my assumption turned out to be right. The rumors are not baseless. Someone must have heard this news earlier. It''s just we are hearing it now.


    Then we spoke for a few minutes before everyone separated. I have to get ready as well. At this point, I knew a few things about most of the wizard students in the top 25 positions. But the rest of them are underdogs in the internalpetition.


    They have managed to enter into the top 25 positions silently.


    Soon, I arrived at the dormitory. After entering my room, I sat on the sofa. Then I started to go through information about the new names.
