Chapter 172: Fighting Back and Shocking
"Whoahahaha!" Cleo laughed wildly across most of the arena, "It's finally my turn!"
He looked unabashedly proud: "I'm waiting to be assigned to a group with you, but I've been waiting for an unknown number of classes!"
It was really unlucky, Maureen's face darkened.
This year's Blood-Eyed Brand card use course pays more attention to combat skills than last year, the class is held next to the arena, and basically every class has students practice fighting on the simulated arena, in order to let students adapt to different fighting styles and magic habits, Brand also makes the sparring combinations rotate and match.
I don't know what evil happened, but Merlin just happened to be in a group with Cleo today.
"If you want to practice, hurry up and practice, where did so much nonsense come from. Morin replied coldly.
It's not a day or two since he acts as a humanoid target in this class, because the simulated arena occupied by this class is not very large, and Brand also specifically stipulates that each person can only move in a box less than two meters long and wide when practicing, basically and can't dodge, and the boy feels that this is specifically for him.
"Heh, I'm not in a hurry if you're in a hurry, how can such a good opportunity be wasted casually, there is still half a class of practice time, let's take our time!" Clio smiled with a villain: "Don't worry, I will cherish this time." ”
"Yes," Merlin sighed, "with your intellect, you really should cherish your time, after all, you are the one who will stare at the flash technique with wide eyes, do you guess there is a second one in the entire academy who is as stupid as you?" I think maybe only the ones in your group can compare to you, don't you think?"
"Shut up!" said Cleo, grime.
Because the joke he made in the card-making class was somehow recorded by the scum of Marcus with a video stone and spread widely, he became the laughing stock of the students for a long time, and several of his companions in the group were reluctant to walk with him.
"It's better than you!, you shit, you can't even use magic cards, what's the right to laugh at me!" he said angrily.
"But you'll be staring at the flash. Maureen said with a smirk.
He hadn't seen Clio in a card-making class since the first class, and this guy had been low-key for a long time and hadn't bothered them, but who would have thought that he would jump out in the card use class.
"You! you country buns!" Cleo was furious, "What do you see in my hand? I brought the image stone today, and I'll record all of your embarrassment later!"
"But you're going to be staring at the flash. ”
"Whatever you say, now you can only be beaten! Kneel down to apologize and beg for mercy, maybe for the sake of my classmates, I will show mercy to my subordinates a little bit, and don't beat you too badly!"
"But you'll look at it with wide eyes"
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, I'm mad, look at my magic!" Clio finally realized that he would not be able to gain the upper hand as long as the other party kept to watch the flash, and he violently summoned several magic cards in his hand.
Seeing that Clio had finally summoned the magic cards, Merlin secretly concentrated, but his mouth did not stop at all: "Oh?!, summoning so many magic cards at once, the acrobatics are good! But I will too!!"
As he spoke, the young man flipped his wrist, and instantly grabbed a magic card in his hand.
"Will you do this?" Cleo grinned and activated a magic card, and a piece of acid was sprinkled on Merlin, who had long studied the most unbearable pain caused by acid spells, and was determined to let the other party taste it.
It's just that
"Huh?" Morin was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Cleo, can you do it, why is the casting distance so short? I don't seem to have moved just now, right?" He looked at the ground not far in front of him that was so acid-eroded that it was white smoke, and said, "Do you want me to teach you how to position magic, you won't even wonder you have to widen your eyes to see the flash!"
Cleo's face turned red, he was really not skilled in using this acid etching technique, but he thought it was more lethal and used it temporarily, but he didn't expect to be laughed at again. He simply put the card back on the rune title page, and instead used another card and said fiercely, "I'll see how long you can laugh!"
A pale cyan shadow appeared in front of Merlin and floated towards him not far away.
Merlin turned and flashed, the two-meter-long and wide box was not large, but it was not without room for manoeuvre, especially when the opponent was this annoying Cleo, he was not going to let him be slaughtered.
"Wow, you haven't had enough to eat with your wind blade technique, you're running so slowly! This speed can probably only be used to peel potatoes, and it has to be potatoes that can't move!"
Seeing that his magic failed to hit again, Cleo stopped talking with a gloomy face, and the magic cards in his hand shone one after another, and at the same time increased the range of magic in an attempt to suppress Merlin's dodge space.
"Yo, you're too vain, have you ever seen Strayer's flame technique?
"Huh? What kind of magic are you? Is the Panic Technique working on me at all, can't you use fake cards, do you? Why don't I help you go and ask Mr. Ed for advice?"
"This ice breath technique is used in a good way, but how much can you hold on to it with such a void?"
Merlin sneered and dodged, and at the same time used the techniques in the magic application class, weaving a thin layer of magic on the surface of his body to slow down the effect of the ice breath on him.
"Oops, congratulations on finally hitting me, but why is this ice cube so soft, are you an ice cube or a snowball, my elemental pets are sturdier than yours, hurry up and find a snowdrift to bury yourself!"
Merlin wiped a handful of unconscious shoulders that had been smashed by ice cubes, felt the warm blood on his hands, and helplessly used magic to half-plug the wound.
Although his physical fitness still has a great advantage in battle, but Brand has demarcated the range of movement and forbade him to use classical spells, and Morin does not intend to find a chance for Brand to deduct his points, even if he is knocked out of power by Clio.
"Well, why don't you scream, can't you scream?" Cleo saw that Merlin was finally injured, his eyes lit up and laughed wildly: "It's too late to kneel down and admit your mistake now, and you won't even have the strength to speak later." ”
Merlin frowned and stopped talking, in fact, even if he couldn't use magic cards, he believed that he could win Clio in the battle, but Brand was determined to use only magic cards, even if he hated it, he had no choice but to concentrate on avoiding the other party's magic.
Although Clio is not very skilled in the use of magic cards among second-year students, and his mastery of magic is not meticulous at all, he can't stand it, he has already advanced to the second order, and the magic capacity is there, and he has no scruples about using magic. Merlin could only try to avoid the magic that had a flying trajectory, but there was nothing he could do about the thorns that grew on the ground, and he was gradually oppressed to the point that there was no longer room for tossing and turning.
"Obediently beaten, maybe you have been knocked off the stage by me by now! Clio said as he threw another ice cube, and Merlin squeezed a step to the side to avoid the ice cube at the cost of a few thorn cuts in his leg.
"How flexible can you be, what if you can make magic cards, don't you want to be a target for me like a dead dog, don't you feel good about thorns, don't you? Rest assured, I'll thank you for being my sparring partner!"
Cleo laughs as he casts his magic.
"If you can't use magic cards, you're waste, so what can you do? ”
Morin had another wound cut on his leg by the Wind Blade Technique, and he snorted.
"I warned you when school started, telling you to go back to Lothar early, but unfortunately you have to stay in the academy, do you think there is anyone else here who welcomes you?
Mo Lin was stunned and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean? Of all the students from Gessok in the academy, you are the only one who can stare at the flash technique with wide eyes and practice a magic on the simulated arena, and you still need to pull other students to give you courage?"
"Don't you know what I mean?" Cleo sneered, stopping the magic in his hand and continuing, "Aside from Marcas, do you think there are other Gessock students who will take care of you?
Morin couldn't help but frown.
I've been used to these injuries on my body for a long time, and I won't cause real damage in the simulation arena, but the attitude of the Gesorg students that Cleo just said Some time ago, Morin was immersed in the practice of making cards and didn't pay too much attention, but he vaguely felt that some students had become a little cold towards themselves since the beginning of this semester, and even included a few seniors who had a good relationship with him.
Originally, the boy thought that this was just his own delusion, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that the accents of those classmates who had changed their attitudes were more or less with the aristocratic tone of Marcus.
When did you mess with those Gessock classmates?
"Just because I defeated Senior Ryan of Gessock last year, do you want to get him back together? Don't forget that in the end, he shamelessly used the magic explosion technique to defeat both of me, don't you have such a thick skin?" Morin asked suspiciously, thinking about it, he didn't realize what he had done to make Gesok's students hostile.
"Or is it," the young man racked his brains and couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, and asked a little anxiously, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Cleo asked rhetorically.
He snorted, "It means that you should go back to Lothar and stay obediently, maybe there is someone in that corner who can keep you, like your waste father named Pike Calland."
Cleo didn't finish, he only felt a loud bang spin all of a sudden, and it wasn't until the pain came that he realized what had just happened, and it was Merlin's fist that slammed into his face.
Because of the arena comparison, he was just making a big fuss again, and Merlin didn't react when he was angry, and when he was punched in the face, he wanted to quickly cast a defensive spell, but he found that all the cards in his hand were used to attack or humiliate Morin, where did he have time to summon other cards from the rune title page.
Morin really didn't give him this chance, and after smashing Cleo's mouth with a punch, he kicked the opponent in the abdomen with all his strength, and the huge force directly kicked Cleo out and landed heavily on the stone slab of the arena.
"You're going too far. Maureen said to Clio, who was spitting blood all over the ground, resisting the urge to kick all his ribs with a few more kicks.
"My father left his post in the Battle of the Blood Moon and decided to lead the army to support the Frost Fortress, maybe there was a conflict with the defense zone of the dead on the way, or maybe there was a gap in the Lange defense line that spread to the land of the dead or the southern border of the Ralk Empire, but what impact can it have on your Gesok Empire?" Morin suppressed his anger: "What kind of grudge can I have against you, you dare to insult my father like this. ”
"Ahem," Cleo spat out two mouthfuls of blood and laughed miserably, "Ha, so you don't know? It turns out that Marcus didn't tell you anything, maybe you don't know about Marcus being expelled from the Maple Leaf family?
What?Marcus was expelled from the Maple Leaf family?!
Morin was startled and was about to speak, but Brand's voice sounded in his ears.
"Mr. Callander, I think I said that you can only attack with magic cards during practice. ”
"He insulted my father, Professor Brand. Morin said coldly.
"Oh, insult your father?" Blood-eyed Brand curled the corners of his mouth as if he had heard a joke, "Are you sure you know this is a combat exercise? Mr. Callander? Isn't it a common method to disrupt the opponent's mind with words in actual combat?"
"But isn't it a common method to break other people's bones with your fists in actual combat?" Morin pushed back.
"It's good to deduct 50 points. Brand's bloody eyes stared at the boy.
Merlin clenched his fists, but he suppressed his anger and didn't say anything more, with Daddy Pike's principles, he would definitely not say anything in this situation, and the boy didn't plan to give Brand another chance to punish him.
He is more concerned about Marcus now, why is Marcus expelled from the Maple Leaf family, why doesn't he know anything about Marcus and doesn't tell him anything?
Seeing that Morin didn't fight again, Brand sneered, turned his head and said, "Cleo Cowley, deduct ten points." ”
"What?" Clio looked stunned with a bloody mouth, "I didn't break the rules, Professor!"
"It's a card usage course, and you think it's glorious that you've been defeated by a student who can't use cards?" said Brand, waving his hand, and dropped the two off the simulation arena.
Falling to the ground, the wound on Morin's body was completely gone.
He looked up a little confused, and saw the gaze of Marcus and Aeno on the other side.
Eyes full of worry and guilt. 32
