Chapter 46: Thea's questioning
After seeing the fate of the red python and its master, Arul, no one obstructed Kt from taking the gold flag. Instead of fighting for the gold flag, other fighters began carefully choosing their flag number to avoid the tough oppont in the first .
Holding the gold flag, Kt slowly descded from the sky with a triumphant smile. Fatty B, who sat among the crowd, laughed joyfully while clapping for Kt.
But just as Kt landed on the g, Arul, holding his long staff, came angrily towards Kt.
"Bastard, that gold flag belongs to me. How dare you obstruct the path of this young master?" Arul shouted fiercely as he pointed his staff at Kt and attacked with his powerful spell.
Instantly, a sharp magical spear formulated through Aura and came rushing towards Kt. Thea, who stood at the periphery of the ara, rushed towards Kt to block the spear. But she is far away.
Master Ch, who witnessed this sce in the first place, immediately pointed his wand at the magical spear and dissolved the attack in one instance.
Kt, who prepared to face the magical spear with his knuckles, took out his Victor bow in one instance and pulled the bow string, aiming at Arul. But before Kt released his arrow, Thea reached him and stood before Kt as a blockade.
"Stop…" Master Ch shouted angrily as he stood in the middle of Kt and Arul.
"Arul, what is the meaning of your actions? Didn't you feel shame to attack an unarmed Magus?" Master Ch questioned with an angry glare.
"Master Ch, you saw it all. Because of him, I fell to the g and lost the race to capture the gold flag." Arul replied in a complaining tone.
Master Ch got more angry after hearing his complaint. "You are the one who failed to control your pet. If someone has a better weapon or pet than you, it's not their mistake.
I thought you would become proud of this school. But with this attitude, you are not going to achieve anything. Go and Kneel before the ancestral statue till eving." Master Ch declared before turning his gaze towards Kt.
But Thea covered Kt like a guardian, hiding his image from Master Ch's. With a grunt, Master Ch wt back to the stage to address the disciples.
"What happed now is also a lesson to everyone. A real magus should never attack your emy in five situations:
Wh your emy is not ready,
Wh your emy kneeled,
Wh your emy accepted defeat,
Wh your emy ran away from Ara,
Wh your emy is way below you.
Anyone can become a great magus by cultivating diligtly. But to become the greatest magus, one must follow the ara rules and war laws and defeat their oppont in a lawful way.
Victory doesn't mean killing your oppont. You just need to win over him."
Master Ch finished his long lecture as he turned his gaze towards Kt, who had already placed the bow in his bracelet.
"As the gold flag winner, you have the opportunity to choose your oppont. Say the name." Master Ch asked while observing Kt with a serious look.
All the eyes shifted to Kt, and the big Aurora glass of the Ara is displaying Kt's face from a close distance.
Thea, who stood before him, turned a and stared at Kt. Several thoughts were racing through her brain about Kt. She gazed into his eyes siltly.
While joying the close momt with Thea, Kt thought about the opponts. The worst thing is he only remember the names of two fighters other than Mia. One is a fat king, and the other is Arul.
"I chose young master Arul as my oppont." Kt declared without thinking much.
"What??!!!" A loud clamor erupted in the crowd as no one expected Kt to choose title favorite Arul as his oppont.
Usually, the gold flag holders choose a weak oppont to warm up in the first . So, everyone thought Kt would say the name of a weak magus.
Arul, who still stood on the g with a dispirited look, dumbfounded after hearing his name from Kt. His fists clched in anger as he felt humiliated.
"Did he think I'm a weak oppont? I must teach a lesson by breaking his legs on the day of combat." Arul muttered while staring at Kt with bloodshot eyes.
Ev Thea stared at Kt's face in surprise. As a two-time champion of the secondary Magus competition, she knew how cruel the fights would be.
"Are you sure?" Master Ch asked again with a serious look.
"Yes master." Kt replied calmly while controlling his fire Kirin, who was licking his face.
"Elder Cha... note down his choice and prepare the fighting schedule based on the other disciple flags. Publish it on the school quest board by eving. Is that clear?" Master asked without moving his gaze from Kt, who was rubbing Fire Kirin's mane with a happy smile.
Elder Cha obeyed his command and soon began noting down the flag numbers of the other fighters.
Just as Master Ch left the ara, immediately loud music sounded a the ara, and the cheerleading gang began showing their moves. One by one, disciples left the ara as the combat mapping was over.
Arul, before leaving the ara, approached Kt. "Hire a healer before the match... I will definitely break your legs." Arul warned with a threating gesture and left, walking. As Thea stood before him, Kt didn't utter a word in response to Arul's threat.
Just as the evt ded, a g-breaking post landed in the school forum.
"The number one old suitcase is the winner of the gold flag." Below the title, a fresh picture of Kt on a big Aurora glass is tagged.

"Kt, what's going on? Did you really become a secondary Magus? Where did you get this fire pet?" Thea, who is waiting for a private momt, immediately asked her questions while staring at Kt's face.
Instead of answering her questions, Kt smiled happily as he observed a change in Thea's tone wh she addressed him.
"Speak… Where did you get the money to buy these clothes? What happed to your looks?" Thea asked again as she felt restless, staring at smiling Kt.
"Shhh…" Kt gestured for her to be silt by placing a finger on his lips.
