Currently inside the hall where the genius gathering are being held a huge commotion is currently happening.
However the adult who had separate venue nearby simply don't care and some even turn a blind eye toward the magic reaction they felt earlier when the youngster fight. To them what's happening now doesn't affect their situation at the very least although in a certain special VIP room a tense blood lust is currently permeating even in the air.
"well well? aren't the noble from the Dragonia family is just to hot head and lack etiquette? right Duke Dragonia?"
"shut your trap, Edward! if there is even a single injury on my daughter, you better be prepared!!"
"Hmph, do you think since you reach tier 7 magic you can become lawless, my family can crush you easily"
"In this world there is many people far stronger than me but you Edward Bloodbound are not one of them!"
Edward become more irritated as time goes on since he know he really can't defeat the bastard yet he was unresolved in accepting it just like this but before he could utter the next sentence, the other 3 person in the room start to diffuse the situation.
one of them was Steven Raul the vice president of the clock magic tower.
"alright you 2 enough already, we the clock tower mage are here to scout new potential student and not to deal with your noble feud. Angelina please also say something to them and stop to acting like a bystander."
Angelina the head of magic department from the government. She was a carefree woman so she always avoid to get into complicated situation but love to enjoy watching from the side.
"ehh I don't wanna though! So troublesome! why not ask Aya instead"
Sayaka Aya the only Asian in the room that originate from Japan. She also the head executive of Asian Magic Society and also one of the teacher from the World Academy.
Finally 2 of 5 supreme duke from noble family which act as the pillar for the magic lineage. They are Dragonia and Bloodbound.
currently the 5 of them hold the highest authority in the current international meeting and genius gathering. However the current atmosphere doesn't let them to have a proper discussion so they decide to watch the feed from the hidden camera that show the situation happening in the children hall.
back to Charlotte situation,
After a unique barrier protecting her from the attack, Eric become angry at the same time was anxious since his plan had failed.
walking out from the crowd till he reach Charlotte side, Danial snap his finger and the barrier disappear, looking at this the Eric know the boy in front of him is the reason his plan failed.
"Who are you and what do you think you're doing?? don't you know it is forbidden for other family to butt into other family personal matter?"
Fangzhi who just barely manage to squeeze out from the crowd and standing beside Danial start to talk.
"hahaha mister Eric Bloobound, you are the famous prodigies who manage to breakthrough tier 3 magic at the age of 11, please don't be mad but I think it is too overkill to use your power to teach some unknown junior from a low family background, don't you also think the same?"
with a glib tongue Fangzhi manage to calm the tension in the situation a little.
at the vip room, Steve Raul was impressed
"that fat kid sure have a good sight, he able to determine the nature of the magic as one of the tier 3 spell and using this information couple with his wit to diffuse the situation!"
the fatty Fangzhi of course didn't know about the praise since he currently sweating greatly afraid that Eric was unreasonable and will keep attacking, if that were to happen a large mess will happen.
Eric after hearing the praise calm a little bit before start agreeing to Fangzhi
"hmph, well you are right! it indeed beneath me to deal with unknown child who is not affiliate from my faction. Your Dragonia faction should learn to properly discipline your faction subordinate next time!"
The fatty and the girl from the Anastasia family heave a sigh a relief before suddenly tense back
"HOWEVER! butting in someone else matter is unforgiveable especially those with unknown or low family background. It is clear disrespect to the supreme duke who are like the pillar in the magic lineage society thus I will act as behalf of my father and deliver the punishment!!"
Edward who seeing this scene smile at his child cunningness by using a scapegoat to divert everyone attention from his action. He then grinned at Alex and want to mock him only to find a confident and relax smile plastered on Alex face.
Edward become nervous.
currently in the hall Danial look weirdly at the guy in front of him, he ignored him before moving toward Charlotte and whisper something
"Is this guy ok? he keep talking nonsense since earlier, what should I do?? I'm panicking! I afraid I will beat him up later"
"Danial...."
"What?"
"Beat the shit out of him!!"
"roger!"
standing in front of Eric, Danial calmly look at the idiot who grinned widely at him
"what's wrong? want to ask for apologize , however its too late"
Eric directly launch tier 3 spell which will not kill but can cause someone to go to hospital for a year. Looking at the upcoming spell, Danial cast a tier 2 fortification magic on his hand but doubling it, means like he cast the same spell twice at the same area.
he then punch out through the spell finally reaching Eric face causing him to fly backward and lost consciousness.
seeing the scene Edward stand up and want to go out before being stoppes by Alex and the other
"Where do you think you are going Edward, not interfering with the children is your idea right?"
after 3 second of silence, the hall becoming chaotic. The subordinate of Eric began to launch their attack toward Danial without reserve
"you bastard! what have you done to sir Eric?"
agilely moving around evading every attack Danial lauch a counter attack
" wind spell: pressure sphere
fire spell: fire ball
elemental combine, Elemental BURST!"
using the combination magic an AOE magic was released causing the people tried to surround him being flown.
everyone was shocked not just the in the hall but everyone from the vip room also. looking at the combine magic which at the same time not quite the same as combine magic, every person in the room only had 1 thought at this moment
' I NEED TO RECRUIT HIM!'
except for one person. At this moment Edward face could not become more ugly looking at the situation.
after the commotion in the hall the guest in VIP room move their own personnel and clean the mess, every child was order to stay in their respective place before further information and there will be slight change in the rule for tomorrow magic exchange.
Right now Danial and Charlotte was being scold by Alex in the room for their rush behavior yet Alex could not be too harsh to them since they did it to protect their ally and family honor so he just order the kid to sleep and prepare for tomorrow

after the announcer left, the situation become noisier, some of the people decide to forfeit since combat was not their forte, some who can't let go the chance but unconfident was in dilemma but for those who had hone their skill this was a lifetime chance for them.
