CHAPTER 1141: CHAPTER 845: ISN’T THAT A BIT TOO MUCH?

Bagaman lost.

In the most humiliating way, he lost to Reiger.

No one knows if he fainted because he was too ashamed to remain in everyone’s sight, or because his precious magical equipment was destroyed and he was dealt a blow that made him pass out on the spot.

All people know is that after today, a rumor will emerge in the entire kingdom’s noble circle.

That is, in the magic duel with Reiger Brillhaut, not only did he, Bagaman, lose, but he was also stripped in front of all the nobles, royal family, and strong people.

"Didn’t expect the Muragit Marquis to be so small..."

"Is that considered small?"

"I think it’s okay."

"That’s because you haven’t seen much of the world."

The young ladies of the noble families had their faces flushed and screamed repeatedly on the spot, but in private, their bold conversation was such that even a little content leaked out would be enough to make Bagaman never want to show his face again.

As for the other noble men present, they unconsciously distanced themselves from Reiger, looking at him as if they were staring at a demon.

The magic that can destroy clothes and equipment...

What sort of monstrous magic is this?

It turns out that losing in a match with this person could result in not only death but also a loss of face?

Can’t afford to mess with him, let’s get out of here. jpg

"Isn’t that a bit too much?"

When the barrier was lifted, Alto rushed out like a gust of wind and quickly took Bagaman away, sparking much discussion among the crowd, while Yuri returned to Reiger’s side with Liz and others, rolling her eyes and complaining about him.

"Master is really..."

Liz blushed, feeling mentally polluted, thinking that if some animal hadn’t shown her even more spectacular things recently, she might have fainted too.

"Hmph, that biped scum got off easy."

Lilith felt quite satisfied, even thinking Reiger could have been even more excessive, perhaps doing something bloody and smashing that self-important bug into a pulp.

"?"

Yuloli tilted her head curiously, openly staring at Reiger’s lower half, making Reiger feel a wave of embarrassment.

"Don’t look at me like that, who told him to wear all that flashy magical equipment?" Reiger rubbed his nose and said, "I just happen to have magic that can destroy magical items, wasn’t he just asking for it?"

"Though that’s what you say, if you use this kind of method to win, which magician would dare stand in front of you in the future?" Yuri said irritably, "In the future, I’m afraid no one will wear magical items in front of you; your magic is really... too unscrupulous."

...Unscrupulous?

Maybe not too bad?

At least, didn’t that guy still have one staff left?

Remembering that staff, Reiger couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

He didn’t intend to spare that Seer’s Staff, planning instead to destroy it as a lesson for Bagaman.

Unfortunately, the Seer’s Staff is at least a divine artifact level item, and Reiger’s [Advanced Item Destruction] wasn’t sufficient to directly destroy divine artifact level items.

So, the Seer’s Staff became the only piece of magical equipment left intact, offering a little bit of consolation.

...

Reiger’s victory over Bagaman seemed to offer those present a chance to reassess him.

After this duel, people realized that this overly young boy in front of them is not only an incredibly powerful swordsman, but also an extremely excellent magician.

Whether he has mastered strategic-level magic above remains to be discussed.

But at the very least, even if he only uses magic in a fight, he should not lose to anyone.

It’s worth noting that, as Felas pointed out, Bagaman’s use of combat-level magic is not weak, conservatively estimated to rank among the top five magicians in the kingdom, possibly even the top three.

Such a magician, whose full armament can make a Sword Saint feel troubled, could not withstand more than a few rounds against Reiger, nor bring him any harm, ultimately ending in a miserable defeat, never able to hold his head up again in front of others.

This was enough to show that Reiger, as a magician, was as excellent as any.

Even Nipede sighed and admitted in front of everyone.

"Even I can’t guarantee being stronger than Lord Brillhaut if he’s only using magic."

Therefore, the rumors that Reiger could use magic alone to compare with a Sword Saint, or even surpass an average Sword Saint, gradually began to spread.

Thanks to this, the rumor that he was a strategic-level magician gained a good deal of credibility.

Even if people brought up the fact that he was only rated with interference level five aptitude in the Sprill Academy and shouldn’t possibly become a strategic-level magician, people were wondering if it was actually the Sprill Academy’s evaluation that was wrong.

After all, if we really talk about it this way, how can we explain the rumor that Reiger once used transformation-type tactical level magic in the Franzel family?

And during this magic competition, the various types of magic Reiger used also rarely had anything to do with the interference system.

Especially those three big fireballs comparable to [Flame Meteor], how could they not be transformation-type magic?

People are always more willing to believe what they witness, so not only unrelated personnel but even Felas, the principal of Spriler Academy, began to doubt whether the academy’s magic aptitude test for Reiger was flawed.

If Reiger really is a strategic-level magician, then he ought to be at the seventh-level aptitude for the transformation system, rather than the fifth-level for interference.

Of course, there are also rumors claiming that Reiger might have mastered means different from the modern magic system, enabling him to excel in other systems of magic.

The evidence being the past rumors that Reiger could use the exclusive decomposition magic of Yuri Franzel.

That is control-type magic.

Although decomposition magic itself is not that rare or difficult to learn, Yuri had already elevated decomposition magic to another level, making people feel that if one did not have talent in control-type magic, it should be impossible to use such a unique decomposition magic.

Therefore, people generally believe that they cannot trust past records regarding Reiger’s true magic aptitude.

There must be secrets about this person.

But, it’s certain that no one dares to uncover these secrets.

Originally incredibly powerful, Reiger has now proven his magical abilities to be no less impressive than his sword skills, and he even claims his magic is stronger than his swordsmanship, which undoubtedly adds another layer of aura to Reiger.

"Reiger Brillhaut, this person is neither a noble nor a great figure with a high status, yet he is someone that must not be provoked no matter what."

This understanding was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone present and was conveyed by some scheming individuals to foreign countries, eventually becoming known by people from other nations.

A young man stronger than the legendary old Sword Saint, with magical prowess that reigns supreme among peers.

Such an unbelievable existence is destined to be recorded in Akasha continent’s history.

The kind of butterfly effect this will cause, only geniuses can tell.

......

Afterwards, the banquet resumed as normal and began following its procedure.

Isis, as the host, appeared and introduced each of the participants in the throne competition.

It was only at this time that Reiger finally saw all the contenders for the throne competition.

Grand Prince Kuhart is a young man with a strong literary aura, looking just like a university professor, always wearing a gentle expression, which added a lot of points to him personally.

Seventh Prince Boel is a very frail youth, only slightly older than Reiger, with a weaker overall aura, yet there is remarkable magic power fluctuation around him.

The other royal heirs with succession rights each had their unique characteristics, but overall they were inferior to the former two, leaving no strong impression on Reiger.

It’s worth mentioning that all participants in the throne competition are princes, no princesses, meaning no females.

This has been the tradition of Jinas Kingdom, where only males can be king, similar to the neighboring Leiblu Kingdom.

Tistis Kingdom, however, only has queens, no male kings, which is another extreme, leading to uprisings.

Walker Kingdom is the only relatively enlightened country, where the throne is taken by the capable, with the current king being a queen.

It is said that once the next king is confirmed, all royal heirs will be enshrined, with some becoming honorary nobles kept in the royal capital, while others will be sent to the frontier to become local nobles. The capable ones will be granted fiefdoms, becoming great nobles like the Duke Codelion family or the Duke Letais family. Some would become professors or officials like Grand Prince Kuhart, not everyone will become a duke.

If the next king is Saint Nidor of the Codelion family, then the Codelion duke family will be inherited by Saint Charia, continuing the duke title.

The mentioned treatments are also limited to males.

As for females, that is the princesses of the royal family, most of them will become objects of political marriage.

It must be said that this is extremely unfair.

But what can be done?

If it were fair, it wouldn’t still be the medieval times for eleven thousand years, and Liz and Marilyn wouldn’t have rejected their princess identities then.

Whether in royal families or among nobles, females who can stand out are ultimately a minority.

The throne competition of Jinas Kingdom was announced to begin under such circumstances.

On Reiger’s side, as predicted earlier, he received voting power of at most ten votes.

Unfortunately, fellow Sword Saints Yuloli and Lilith did not receive voting power because they were already counted as part of Reiger’s influence, calculated into his votes.

Yuri also holds voting power of ten votes.

In the coming week, all those with voting power can choose to cast their votes for any of the heirs with succession rights, and the votes will be counted a week later to elect the next king.

Afterwards, the banquet was declared over.

In the following week, Reiger also encountered a considerable amount of trouble.
