Chapter 105: The Challenge Begins
"Smith?" Liu Ye found a familiar figure among the falling meteors, the tall man was still wearing a black robe that had not changed for thousands of years, wearing sunglasses, and he looked like no one should enter.
"It's true that he's a member of the British Magical Society's Order of Black Mages, but that doesn't stop him from being one of the thirteen European sword-wielders. Ouyang Gu said, "Although it is only the last seat, Smith's strength is still above the eldest sister's head, there is no doubt about this." ”
"No wonder Watson trusts him so much......"
"Those who can work harder, and this is also a matter of course. ”
Immediately afterwards, one after another S-class magicians stood in their exclusive ring, but after that, there was still silence in the venue, and the imaginary hot challenge scene did not appear, but was unusually cold, and people seemed to be impressed by the momentum of the hundred strong men in the ring, and no one dared to be the first to step forward.
"The S-class who did not come to power are waiting for the first challenger who is not afraid of death to appear. Ouyang Gu nudged his sunglasses, "There is already a gap between A-level and S-level magicians, and there is also a big gap between the S-level and the top 100 outside the top 100, and most people have the idea of waiting and seeing for the time being." ”
Suddenly, everyone's eyes in the venue converged, and the deserted venue seemed to have a lively atmosphere.
Ring 100 welcomed its first challenger. The young man in a black tunic monastic robe held a peachwood sword in his right hand, the pale yellow spikes of the sword dangling from his wrists, and the loose sleeves and trouser legs moved slightly in the wind, outlining his pine-like and tall figure.
"Is it him?" Liu Ye, Ouyang Gu, and Mu Shilan exchanged glances.
Genichi Matsushita, who made his debut and used the designated challenge opportunity to defeat Iron Mountain, who ranked 50th in the A-rank, can be described as a model of fame in one fight.
Because it was a miserable victory, even if Xuanyi's performance in that battle was amazing enough, there were not many people who were optimistic about him going far, but he didn't expect that in the next few days, he won consecutive battles and had reached the tenth position of the A rank.
Even according to the rules of the previous year, he already has the qualifications to challenge the S-class magician.
"Interesting, I didn't expect his desire to become an S-class magician so urgently. It's a pity, if it was a previous session, he could challenge the situation of the examiner, and his strength was enough for him to get his wish. Ouyang Gu chuckled.
"Are you so sure he can't win?"
"Ah Ye, do you know why the Magic Association used to set the rule that only the top ten A-level examiners could challenge the S-level examiners?" Ouyang Gu moved his sunglasses down, "Do you think it's to increase the excitement of the game?"
"Why?"
"What a novice. Shi Lan tugged at his sleeve, "Hey, do you know how many new S-class magicians have been added in the last five years?"
"How many?"
"Wow. Shi Lan pointed to Tang Yin in the seventy-fourth ring.
"Hey, won't you?" Liu Ye rubbed his cheeks, this result was really unexpected.
"For a long time, the eldest sister has been called the 'last glory' of our century by the outside world. Ouyang Gu clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Four consecutive rating conferences, thirty-six undefeated, this kind of achievement, really not a simple 'genius' can be summarized." ”
"Thirty-six undefeated ......" Liu Ye smacked his tongue secretly.
"Don't be surprised, if you were given the same amount of time, you would win more and it would be easier. An extremely mellow and elegant voice sounded behind Liu Ye, it was the man in the Rose Demon Thieves who was wearing a white trench coat printed with playing cards, "Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Dias, and I am a magician. ”
"Magician?"
Liu Ye's eyes fell on his hands, the hands wearing white gloves each held a deck of playing cards, one card facing outward, the other back facing outward, and the blue star pattern behind the back, which made him feel dizzy after watching it for a long time.
It is indeed the traditional attire of magicians, and the last time Liu Ye heard this name was not known how long ago. In fact, he also went to see a magic show when he just graduated, which was not a distant memory, but now that he has been exposed to magic, the word magic has degenerated into a synonym for deceptive tricks in his mind, and the memory of magic is naturally regarded by his brain as an old thing that needs to be cleaned up, and it is relegated to an unknown corner.
But the unpredictable magician in front of him actually called himself a magician, and he was holding one of the magician's favorite props - playing cards.
"Draw one?" Dias smiled slightly, his hands swaying like birds a few times, and the playing cards flew over his chest.
"Smoke one?" Liu Ye looked at Shi Lan and Ouyang Gu, the former sighed and muttered, "Here we go again." The latter is purely a look of watching a play.
Then draw one, Liu Ye saw the opportunity, pointed to the lightning, and added one from the flying poker.
"Wait......" Dias was stunned for a moment, and before he finished speaking, the magic that maintained the rotation of the playing cards was instantly out of balance because of Liu Ye's shot, and with a "bang", the playing cards rose to the ground.
"You actually draw cards like this, yes, very good, poof-" Ouyang Gu held back a smile and looked at the embarrassed Dias, his face turned red.
"Alas-" Shi Lan sighed lightly, shook her head, and then kicked Liu Ye, "You're too rude, just smoke it, at least wait for someone to finish speaking." ”
"Uh......" Liu Ye scratched his head embarrassedly.
"No, maybe this unusual way represents your incredible fate. One by one, the cards scattered all over the ground flew back into Dias's hand in an orderly manner, "Show us your cards." ”
Liu Ye turned the poker card over, and the back of the blue star pattern was ......
Plum K.
Shi Lan's face turned red, and she stomped Liu Ye violently.
"Hiss-" Liu Ye took a breath of cold air, he glanced at Shi Lan, since it was not the first time they had met with the Rose Demon Thieves, there was a high probability that this guy had smoked before, and now that the reaction was so big, could it be said that what she drew out was plum blossoms?
"It's an interesting card," Dias's pupils contracted slightly when he saw the card, "and it's worthy of someone who has the same destiny as Watson." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Second brother, why are you selling your unreliable poker divination again. Without waiting for Dias to answer, the girl with two ponytails grabbed the back of his trench coat and dragged him away, "Let's go, let's go, the challenge of the number one hundred ring is about to begin, and the stands will stand." ”
"Stands?" Liu Ye raised his head suspiciously.
He had never seen such a magnificent scene, the suspended stone platforms emerged one by one against the background of the dark starry sky, and stopped in mid-air in a staggered manner, and the gap between the stone platforms and the stone platforms was delicately controlled between each other, so that the line of sight would not interfere with each other and he could clearly see the scene on each ring.
In the middle of the starry sky, a hollowed-out white round table was horizontal, and three chairs with extremely long backs floated evenly on the edge of the round table, and on the white, black, and gold chairs, there sat an old man with a white beard, an old man with a goatee wearing a high purple peaked hat, and a young man wearing a gold-rimmed white robe.
The three presidents of the Magic Association are all present, and the S-class challenge has officially begun!
