The entire venue fell completely silent. The sight of Crassus keeping the heatwave at bay had completely stunned everyone. This white-haired, white-bearded magic caster in a white magician's robe didn't appear to be someone to be trifled with.
All of the young magic casters from the Magus Tower wore fearful expressions on their faces. Regardless of whether it was Amy's final fireball or the frosty expression on Crassus' face, neither of these were things that they could face.
Abbott swallowed with difficulty. The thing that he didn't want to happen the most had still happened. He took a glance at the panicked Hank, and hesitated momentarily before stepping forward to shield Hank. He then turned to Crassus with a serious expression, and said, "Crassus, Crassus.
"Master Crassus, what happened just then was indeed Hank's fault. He used a forbidden spell during the competition, and our Magus Tower concedes our loss. I'll report this matter to the panel of elders when I get back, and they'll decide on his punishment. Regardless of whether it's a competition or a duel between magic casters, such behavior is despicable and unforgivable. "
"Are you trying to use your Magus Tower to intimidate me?" Crassus didn't stop in his tracks as he looked at Abbott with a mocking expression.
"I wouldn't dare. The Magus Tower was founded under your leadership, and it has flourished under your leadership for several decades. The members of the Magus Tower have nothing but respect for you." Abbott lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Crassus' eyes, but he still didn't back down.
He couldn't back down. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to face the panel of elders when he got back, and he wouldn't be able to continue staying in the Magus Tower.
Even though Crassus was still an honorary elder of the Magus Tower, the irreconcilable conflict between him and the panel of elders was something that all of the senior members of the Magus Tower were aware of. No one dared to express their displeasure while he was still in the Magus Tower, but if he were to settle down in Chaos City, then his influence in the Magus Tower would gradually fade.
Crassus stopped in his tracks, and asked, "Then do you still remember the third rule that I set down when I founded the Magus Tower?"
Abbott was silent for a moment before replying in a grim voice, "Magic casters should uphold an honest, righteous, and kind nature. Those who do not have the right values will be banished from the Magus Tower."
"I'm Brent's disciple! You can't expel me! You don't have the right to expel me …" Hank immediately began to panic as he shook his head at Crassus before trying to get up from the ground.
"If I still want to stay in the Magus Tower, I'm going to expel that fatso Brent as well. Even Richard doesn't dare to mention the word 'right' to me, so who do you think you are?" Crassus pursed his lips as he looked at Hank.
Hank's entire body was shrouded in fear, but he still gritted his teeth as he looked at Crassus, and said, "You're no longer an elder of the Magus Tower, and you don't have any position in the Magus Tower. You didn't try your best to expel me, so you should be the one expelled by the panel of elders. I'll tell my master about this when I get back …"
"Hank, shut up!" Abbott yelled at Hank. Even Brent wouldn't dare to say something like this in front of Crassus. That guy was simply asking for death.
Abbott turned to Crassus with an earnest expression, and said, "Master Crassus, I'll be sure to report this matter to the panel of elders, and I'll also propose that he be expelled from the Magus Tower. I'm ashamed to be associated with a magic caster like him, and the Magus Tower definitely won't let him off the hook. I hope …"
"I'm not here today to expel him from the Magus Tower. From this day forth, I have nothing to do with the Magus Tower. I'm ashamed to be associated with you." Crassus shook his head before turning to Hank with a cold smile, and said, "I'm here to seek justice for my disciple. I once said that if young people aren't disciplined properly and don't follow the rules, the outside world will teach them a lesson."
"It's his honor." Abbott looked at Crassus, and hesitated momentarily before taking a step back to allow Hank to come out from behind him.
All of the young magic casters from the Magus Tower pursed their lips and didn't dare to say anything.
"You can't attack me! I'm Brent's disciple, and I'm a member of the Magus Tower. You said you're no longer a member of the Magus Tower, so if you touch me, you'll have to face the wrath of the Magus Tower!" Hank was completely flustered at the sight of Crassus slowly making his way toward him, and he scrambled back on all fours before turning to Abbott with a pleading expression. "Save me, Master Abbott! Please save me! "
"There are some things that you should always consider before doing. As a man and a magic caster, it's fundamental to take responsibility for one's actions," Abbott said in a cold voice. As a magic caster, he was deeply ashamed of Hank's actions.
Seeing as Crassus had already made up his mind, there was no point in trying to persuade him otherwise. The Magus Tower definitely wouldn't be able to sway him, so no one would be able to stop Crassus from doing whatever he wanted.
"Principal, should we stop him? There are so many children watching. "Grinton turned to Novan, and asked in a quiet voice.
"I really like the rules that Crassus set for the Magus Tower back in the day. They have the spirit of a knight, but they also have the integrity and freedom of magic casters. In fact, they can even be used as the code of conduct for magic casters on the entire continent. After that, Richard changed these rules over and over again until they were a complete mess. When even the word "integrity" was abandoned, magic casters no longer deserved to be called magic casters. " Novan looked at Crassus with a nostalgic smile, and said, "What a vivid lesson. We should show the children just how important it is to be an upright person. Even if they're prodigies, they still have to be upright and abide by the rules. Isn't that what our Chaos School and Chaos City are advocating?"
Grinton nodded with a contemplative expression. He looked at the children on the stage, and didn't say anything else.
There should be a magic caster understanding test for magic casters as well. Meg sat down again. He was relieved that Amy was fine. As for what Crassus wanted to do, he could roughly guess.
"Don't kill me … I won't do it again. I'm just following my master's instructions. He told me to teach her a lesson and embarrass you. Otherwise, he told me not to go back. I can't beat her, and I don't know what to do. That's why I launched a sneak attack on her … Please don't kill me. I'm a prodigy, and I'm only 16 years old. Perhaps I can become a great magic caster in the future …" Hank's face instantly turned deathly pale as he looked at Crassus. For the first time, he realized that this worthless old man was not someone he could mess with.
"I won't kill you, but you don't deserve to possess magic." Crassus slowly made his way over to Hank, and pressed his hand onto Hank's head. Hank was trying to evade in horror, but his body was suddenly immobilized. Red light flashed, and Hank's body shuddered before he collapsed to the ground. His eyes were completely lifeless, and there was only despair in them.
His brain region had been destroyed, and he would never be able to cultivate magic again.
