Chapter 22: Frost Blade
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Alice held the frost blade, her hand that held the ice blade also turned into ice.
The frost condensed by the cold continued to spread along Alice’s arm and gradually covered her body. A pair of frost wings gradually appeared on her back.
If Alice was described to be gathering the magical elements to cast a spell before, then she was now gathering the elements of magic onto herself.
Frost gathered on Alice’s body, making it seem as though she was wearing armor.
All the water elements would become Alice’s weapon and be controlled by her.
This was a forbidden spell!
Alice was a diligent student. Not only did she study hard every day, but she also searched for the mysteries of magic in the library by herself.
She wanted to learn any magic that could be used. She didn’t want to miss any information regarding sorcery.
However, the periphery of the library was filled with only ordinary and low-level spells, which did not satisfy her interest.
This was until one stormy night when Alice was still reading in the library and a magic door had opened in the library.
A magic door that did not usually open was hidden in the library. However, on a stormy night, due to a sudden gathering of magical elements, it triggered the magic door to open.
When the magic door had been opened, Alice stepped into the magic space unhesitatingly.
The magic space was filled with an abundance of magical elements and also contained the secrets of the magic elves. Alice then spent her time searching for the deeper secrets of magic in the space.
When she had just stepped into the magic space, the immense amounts of magical elements soaked Alice’s body, making her feel as if she was in a different world.
She could see more magical elements, and those magical elements were easier to use.
In the magic space, Alice kept learning and became stronger.
Before she came out, she even learned a forbidden spell.
The spell allowed her to possess a blade filled with frost aura. This blade was condensed from pure magical elements.
After gaining control of this blade, Alice was no longer just a sorcerer. She had become a close combat sorcerer.
However, the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy was an academy that specialized in training pure sorcerers. Warriors here were not easily accepted, and it was rare to hear of a close combat sorcerer in the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy.
Thus, Alice decided to hide her identity and her secret.
Alice had never used this frost saber in front of anyone else as it would consume her magic power greatly. If she used it inappropriately, her life would even be in danger.
However, Alice didn’t want to lose this match. She had already risked everything. Right now, all she could think of was to win. She didn’t want to be defeated by Linley Bart.
Also, she couldn’t believe that her ice magic had been defeated by Linley’s fire magic. She believed that with her power, she wouldn’t lose to anyone in the academy.
But Linley Bart’s performance today had dealt an enormous blow to Alice’s confidence.
She couldn’t believe that she was about to be defeated by a playboy in a duel.
She wanted to defeat him with her strength!
This was also due to Alice’s competitive nature, as well as her deep disdain for Linley.
How could such a shameless and lecherous man possess such strength?
He would never understand how hard it was for one to become a powerful sorcerer.
Usually, there was no time for her to even rest at all. Even when she was free, she could only spend the time reading in the library, practicing magic every day, and studying the formulas and theories of magic over and over again.
It took everything Alice had just to decrease her spell casting time, even if it was only for a fraction of a second.
She had put in an immense amount of effort.
She did all this with the objective of becoming a skilled sorcerer so that she wouldn’t embarrass her father so that she wouldn’t be laughed at by anyone else in the academy.
Alice knew she wasn’t exactly a genius.
She was just hardworking and had a strong will.
While Linley Bart was flirting with the girls, Alice was working hard on improving her skills.
While the other girls were putting on their new dresses for the ball, she was reading all the books she could in the library.
Alice hadn’t attended any of the events at the academy and had no friends at all.
She felt that she was independent and never needed friends.
She had sacrificed a lot and devoted all her energy to sorcery.
Alice felt that she shouldn’t lose here. She thought that she could win!
After Alice summoned the Frost Blade, she only had one ability.
This was Alice’s most basic and most powerful ability.
She would be able to control all the water elements in the domain!
Even the raging Flaming Storm could not suppress the birth of the water element.
The evaporated water vapor condensed together again, forming countless streams of frost energy that surrounded Alice. The frost energy was then absorbed into the blade.
This frost energy then transformed into a giant dragon!
A giant dragon condensed from frost.
This dragon nearly covered the entire sky. Behind the frost dragon was snow, causing the entire academy to be covered in a field of snow.
Even though the spectating students were protected by the magic barrier of the arena, they still felt a peculiar chill.
Alice’s frost magic had broken through the magic barrier and was beginning to affect the outside world.
The cold corroded the world as snow and hail fell.
Those students with weak magic power were frightened. They didn’t even dare to stay in the spectator stands anymore and wanted to escape.
“Stop!” The teacher shouted at them.
“Right now, the entire academy is in great danger. Staying here is the safest option! Before the competition ends, no one is allowed to leave their seats!”
The principal used voice transmission magic to warn all the students.
The students were all shocked. Wasn’t this just an internal competition?
Why did it become like this? It was not that there was no magic that could affect the weather, but it was also not this exaggerated.
She had used magic to create a dragon.
Even in the eyes of the teachers, it was as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
No one knew what was going to happen in the arena. The situation was slowly spiraling out of control.
The principal even went up personally and reinforced the magic barrier.
He did not stop the match, because it was extremely dangerous to try to make them stop now. No one could guarantee that the students’ control over the magic elements was stable enough to stop the casting of the spell halfway.
He could only let them continue. Otherwise, once the sorcerer lost control of the magic elements, the violent magic elements would become extremely chaotic and perhaps even destroy the entire sorcery academy.
