Chapter 580: Chapter 580: First Time No Experience, It Wasn’t Intentional

The moment Scarlett Jennings pointed into the void, everyone present couldn’t help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

The teachers watching from the sidelines couldn’t resist standing up, observing the smoothly flowing Spirit Light Rune in the void, clearly showing signs of restlessness on their faces,

“Is this…Void Talisman?!”

Scarlett Jennings, a newcomer, can actually perform Void Talisman!

While Void Talisman wouldn’t be enough to change the teachers’ countenance, since anyone with some expertise in Talismanic Magic can achieve it.

But Scarlett Jennings drew, unmistakably, the Fire Thunder Talisman’s rune in the void!

The Capital Metropolitan’s representative turned his head sharply towards Teacher Sun beside him.

It can’t possibly be another confidential training session from the Sea City Academy, right?!

Teacher Sun: …

This time it really isn’t.

He only taught her a little Fire Control Talisman.

He hadn’t even taught her Void Talisman.

…

In the scene, Elysia Xander glared fiercely at the Spirit Light Rune in the void created by Scarlett Jennings, even forgetting she was still frozen, her face full of disbelief,

“Impossible…how can you…”

Scarlett Jennings suddenly paused her finger movement.

Elysia Xander’s face instantly showed delight,

See! She thought!

How could the Fire Thunder Talisman be drawn casually, let alone a Void Talisman which is even more challenging!

Even Gregory Xander couldn’t do it; this Scarlett Jennings clearly just knows how to show off.

Just as she was ready to voice some ridicule, she saw Scarlett Jennings’ paused action continue swiftly, almost seamlessly.

Elysia Xander stared wide-eyed, unable to believe she really drew the Fire Thunder Talisman.

“You learned too?!”

She could only think of this possibility.

Scarlett Jennings looked at her and nodded,

“Yes, just learned.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present and outside couldn’t believe it, only the few from Sea City appeared slightly calm.

After all, this wasn’t their first time witnessing Scarlett Jennings’ “talent”.

Especially Gregory Xander.

He secretly felt satisfied seeing the reactions of several across from him.

Yes, that’s the expression.

Just like his back then.

Scarlett Jennings ignored the astonishment and disbelief in Elysia Xander and her companions’ eyes, forming seals with her hands, and began chanting the spell,

“Heaven and Earth Fire, Myriad Techniques Burn, True Lord Three Maos, be with my divine aspect.

Assist Emperor North, oversee Nine Provinces, use Talisman as proof, with Qi as guide.

Please grant the Imperial Decree, scorch the four directions!”

It was exactly the same as what Elysia Xander had chanted earlier.

The Fire Thunder Talisman’s rune in the void began to glow brighter with Scarlett’s spell.

Once the Talisman in the void lit up completely, Scarlett Jennings suddenly raised her hand and waved.

The Spirit Light Talisman pressed directly towards Elysia Xander’s direction.

Afterwards, before Elysia Xander’s eyes, it transformed into towering flames, accompanied by flashing lightning with crackling sounds, almost engulfing her whole.

“Stop, stop! Ahhh!”

Elysia Xander’s voice of panic had just emerged as she was engulfed by the overwhelming fire and lightning.

The five from the Capital Group behind her reacted and turned pale.

“Scarlett Jennings, stop quickly! Do you intend to take her life?!”

Although Elysia Xander had just acted.

But… but this is a competition.

Aren’t you afraid of being disqualified from the competition for doing this?!

The teachers outside also had serious expressions but didn’t move.

Everyone thought Scarlett Jennings was taking revenge, but didn’t expect the fire and thunder to retract the moment it hit Elysia Xander.

Looking at Elysia Xander on the ground again, everyone fell silent.

Elysia Xander’s body, previously frozen, had been entirely thawed by the flames.

But the unfrozen parts, like her cheeks and neck, were scorched and blackened by the fire and thunder.

Even her originally straight, long black hair seemed like it had been struck by lightning, not only scorched into uneven lengths but also in an explosive state.

Elysia Xander lay dumbfounded on the ground, seemingly still petrified from the shocking encounter with fire and thunder.

Ashton Todd was the first to react, suddenly snickering, realizing his boldness, immediately turning away to lean behind Nathan White, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

Soon, Stella Gibson squeezed over too, hiding behind Nathan White, their bodies shaking.

Scarlett Jennings glanced at the group by Nathan White, finally speaking leisurely,

“I only intended to thaw her out.”

Paused, looking at Elysia Xander’s miserable state, added seriously,

“First time using the Fire Thunder Talisman without experience, not intentional.”

Everyone: …

Do you think we believe you?

Elysia Xander finally regained her senses, staring at her charred face and scorched hair, unable to restrain her collapse and low roar,

“You clearly did it on purpose! You just wanted to kill me! I will file a complaint against you with the judges!”

Gregory Xander stepped forward coldly after hearing this,

“She said it was her first time using the Fire Thunder Talisman without experience.

But it was you who deliberately tried to kill someone earlier, if you want to complain, I will be the first to complain against you! I want to see if the Capital Taoist Association and the teachers will deal with you or us first!”

“Indeed! Indeed!”

Ashton Todd and Stella Gibson stopped laughing, popping their heads out to assist.

Scarlett Jennings coldly looked at Elysia Xander on the ground, said,

“You might have forgotten that each of us carries Protective Talismans for lifesaving, if you say I intended to kill you, then I ask you, did your Protective Talisman react?”

It’s widely known that Protective Talismans only react in dangerous situations or when life is threatened.

Scarlett Jennings had carefully studied the competition rules of the Academy before, alongside the organizers who specially emphasized not to harm maliciously and the matter of Protective Talismans.

She had wondered, what defines malicious harm?

In such a competition, it couldn’t solely depend on the academy’s subjective judgment; the answer must lie in the Protective Talismans.

If the Protective Talisman reacts, it indicates the student’s life is threatened, and the Protective Talisman not only protects the student’s life but also is a standard for judging malicious harm.

Although her fire and thunder charged fiercely, Elysia Xander still had Gregory Xander’s ice protecting her and wouldn’t really be hurt inside.

Elysia Xander might appear disheveled, but burning injuries were unlikely.

She was certain that Elysia Xander’s Talisman didn’t even react.

Elysia Xander subconsciously reached for her brooch behind her chest, recalling she didn’t feel any reaction from her Talisman earlier.

“Your Protective Talisman didn’t react, yet you acted against us, causing our Talismans to react.”

Although the Protective Talisman reacted briefly, it was blocked by her with the Jade Token immediately.

But Scarlett Jennings was assured, the Protective Talisman did react at that moment.

“So, who truly attempted malicious harm earlier will be judged by the teachers once we’re outside.”

As Scarlett Jennings finished speaking, Elysia Xander, who intended to argue, fell silent, finally realizing what she had done previously.

Realizing she might be disqualified from the competition, a trace of panic and unease leaked from her eyes.

However, asking for leniency from the people in front of her was impossible.

Especially Gregory Xander!

Her pride didn’t allow her to bow to him.

Whether Gregory Xander or the Xander family, they owe her.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t care about Elysia Xander on the ground anymore, turning to look at the other five from Capital Metropolitan.

“She’s lost, do you still want to compete?”

The five from Capital Metropolitan: …

You’ve shown Void Talisman and Fire Thunder Talisman.

How can we compete with that?!
