Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1156: Chaos

Abel was just having a good conversation with his important guests.
Of course, it would just be him and the five legendary wizards.
The dwarven king and the beast emperor would only join occasionally to show that they were there.

As for the main hallroom, a war was about to start over the dishes, red wine, and the water spirit fruit juice passed over.
The guests all rushed over to get their own share.
The wizards had it the easiest.
While they couldn’t cast spells, the “telekinesis” could be used for them to reach for things from over the distance.
They would just be standing outside the crowd to grab whatever food they were after.

Things were still normal the first few minutes the banquet started.
As ridiculously good as the food and drinks here were, the guests did keep their manners as this was Grandmaster Bennett’s promotion ceremony.
That was until one advanced wizard from the lightning clan took a bite of the one particular dish and sipped on the water spirit fruit juice.
A promotion qi rose out of him, and he was immediately taken to somewhere else by his colleagues to meditate inside a mana gathering circle.
While he left the scene quite quickly, the noblemen and the class holders were very quick to lose their cool.
They started pushing against each other to fight for the dishes, all so that maybe they could experience the same things as what they just witnessed.

The non-class holders had it the toughest.
While the class holders couldn’t use spells inside the elven royal palace with five legendary wizards nearby, their physiques still made it extremely easy for them to push the regular people to the side.
The regular guests had no way of getting close to the tables, while the class holders would just dig in as soon as they got the food on their own plate.
The ones on the front would do everything to keep themselves there because if they were pushed backward, they would’ve had no way of coming back in.

Attitude? Respect? Mannerism? What was more important than promoting? To get a chance to eat at the golden castle, one would have to wait for at least several months.
There was also a limit to how much one could eat inside the golden castle, and no red wine nor water spirit fruit juice would be provided.
Today was somewhat of a special day for anyone who was here, in this sense, especially the class holders.

The class holders seemed to have forgotten that today was an important day for the elves.
The middle-low-tier druids were just staring at the chaos that was taking place in front of them.
The class holders wore lavish attires did not unleash their explosive attack spells, but they all had their defensive spells on just so they could be a little bit closer to the food.
They would also use their bodies to push towards the table.
Once these class holders gave in their best, the dishes, the red wine, and the juice became very easily consumed.

The wizards standing afar were just noticing that it was not so easy to grab the food with their telekinesis.
The class holders in front were just interrupting them from activating.
Since all these class holders had to do was to block the direction where the telekinesis was going, the wizards were also forced to join in the crowd.
In their minds, too, they also had to do whatever it took to get their mouths on the foods and drinks.
They’ve all heard about the legends of the golden castle restaurant.

Very quickly, another advanced archpriest received a promotion.
He was dragged away from the table so a death qi gathering circle could be placed around him.
The empty spot was quickly taken over.
Someone kicked someone and was punched back.
The hallroom completely lost order.
Nobody was casting any spells, but they all started brawling with each other.
It was a good thing that the barbarians weren’t here.
Otherwise, no one would be able to stand against their charging hits.

Abel was already frowning inside the side palace.
He knew that something was wrong when he sensed the two promotion qi.

Wizard Dolan laughed, “Don’t worry about them, ha! Just let the red-cloaked enforcers deal with them.”

Honestly, Wizard Dolan didn’t care that much as long as no one was using any attack spells.
This happening was just embarrassing.
No major rules were violated, so he and the other legendary wizards were just going to let it slip.

A red-cloaked wizard quickly shouted in the hallroom, “This is Grandmaster Bennett’s promotion banquet.
Anyone who’s fighting here will be immediately tossed out!”

The red-cloaked wizard that appeared suddenly made the class holders come back to their senses very quickly.
They knew that they shouldn’t try to piss off anyone with a red cloak, so they quickly went back to grabbing their food in a more modest way.
Of course, they’d still try to push each other, trip each other, and do little things to allow them to be closer to the food.

Originally, there should be enough food for everyone, but the class holders were just taking too much already.
They never really stopped.
After having the food for a few more minutes, the crowd became chaotic again after a promotion qi rose out of a dwarven advanced wizard.
The same thing happened to three other class holders, and while the red-cloaked wizard was still there to watch, the class holders were starting to get a lot more physical again.
These class holders were all prestigious in their own way, so in a situation like this, it was really every man for himself.
This was especially the case when they saw that there weren’t any more dishes on the table.

An advanced orc priest who was blocked from the table for almost an hour couldn’t contain himself, so he used the bone staff in his hand and struck the groin of the advanced druid in front of him.
The advanced druid shouted, and out of reflex, he summoned a dire wolf that immediately attacked the one who attacked its master.
The druid was usually a lot more reserved than this, but a sudden attack would make anyone lose their sense of control.
The advanced orc priest was frightened to see three dire wolves coming right towards him, so he quickly summoned some skeletons in front of them.

Things were really starting to lose control now.
There were some who were afraid of getting hurt.
Some were already aware that this situation couldn’t be calmed, so they all did their things to protect themselves.
In the hallroom, lightning, freezing elements, and fire were shot everywhere.
All kinds of summoned creatures were called out.
The red-cloaked wizard was terrified.
He didn’t think that a major fight would just happen right in front of him.

The fight continued for just ten seconds, however.
The class holders didn’t think about stopping, but they were all suppressed by the essence the legendary wizards unleashed.
When they stopped, they could see that the beautiful floor tiles were crushed.
They could also see the food and drinks all splattered on the floor.
It was a complete mess.
Ten class holders already couldn’t get up.
Some of them were injured by summoned creatures, while others were accidentally hurt by the spells.
Luckily, the regular guests were already on the side and did not participate in the fight for the dishes.
No regular people dared to join in, as fighting with these class holders would pretty much just kill them instantly.

Wizard Dolan was floating inside the hallroom with a troubled look on his face, “This event is over.
Those of you who haven’t sent your gifts, leave the stuff here and get out immediately!”

This was definitely not looking good for the Wizard Union.
The promotion ceremony was meant for none other than Grandmaster Bennett, but things really went out of control even in the presence of a red-cloaked wizard.
This was about as infuriating as it could get.
Worse yet, many of the guests were too influential and important to be punished.
There wasn’t a lot that could be done, so what Wizard Dolan could do was to just hurry up and end this banquet.

Under Wizard Dolan’s suppression, still, a promotion qi just rose out of one advanced wizard.
It was unclear whether Wizard Dolan helped him indirectly or it had to do with the food that was served.
Again, the class holders threw their greedy gazes towards the floor.
They didn’t care if the food and drinks were on the ground.
They would do anything to move to the next rank.

Wizard Dolan didn’t want to speak anymore, “Get out!”

The class holders then promptly left.
When they left, they decided that, collectively, the first thing that they should do would be to head over to the golden castle.
They would stay no matter how long the line was.

Wizard Dolan headed back to the side palace, “These are some excellent dishes you’ve got here, Grandmaster Bennett.
I didn’t think that the banquet would be like this!”

Abel did not have a happy look on his face, “I didn’t arrange this, Wizard Dolan.
It was all the Wizard Union.”

Abel did not agree to use his dishes to serve these guests.
He’s had similar experiences on the Holy Continent.
He knew that his food and drinks had a very special effect, so he was always very careful to keep the number of people accessing his restaurant to a limit.

Wizard Hume went in and bowed apologetically, “So sorry, Grandmaster Bennett.
It’s my fault.”

Abel didn’t mind that much, actually, “It’s alright, really.
Actually, Wizard Hume, you just came in on time.
Let’s just have our meal now.”

Wizard Dolan smiled towards Wizard Hume, who was not sure how to reply, “It’s fine, Hume.
Let’s just sit for the time being.”

Wizard Hume bowed to everyone and sat at the seat that was on the very end.
Most people didn’t really care about what was happening in the main hallroom.
In a bit, they all started to laugh and chat amongst themselves.
Wizard Dolan was the one who chased the guests away, but that was all on the wizards and not the elves.
When the guests left, the elves got one packet of the “skin lotion” and the “conditioner” combined to each and every one of them.
They were just beauty products, but since it was Grandmaster Bennett who made them, their price would definitely be a lot more than they actually were worth.

Some of the guests didn’t know what these potions were for, so some people explained it to them.
Of course, the explanations would always be off the point when one hadn’t ever tried it on themselves.
Only the elves could do justice in describing the effects of these beauty products since the noblewoman and the female druids had always been using skin lotions and hair conditioners in their everyday lives.
By the way, if these two potions weren’t the ones that cost the least compared to all the other potions Grandmaster Bennett could craft, the elves would’ve never sent out these potions as gifts.

The ceremony on this day was recorded in the history books.
Two main points were noted: one was the birth of the first grandmaster alchemist on the central continent, while the other was the first-ever brawl that took place at a promotion ceremony.
Because of the chaos that took place, four class holders received promotions, 15 class holders were severely injured, and close to a hundred were lightly injured.
