"Get out of the way! I'm in a hurry. "Nicholas is so anxious now, how can he have time to talk nonsense with him.

"You don't look like you've run out of magic right now, you still have a little bit of energy left, go up and we'll continue." Conrad pointed to the dueling platform.

"Get out of the way!" Nicholas looked at him with an unkind face and shouted angrily.

"Want to take advantage of the opportunity to escape? Okay, for Leah's sake, I'll let you run, if you don't have any dignity, run away, to be honest you're disappointing me. Conrad stared at Nicholas for a second and then silently stepped aside, he certainly didn't believe that Nicholas and he were in a duel could suddenly have any urgency.

Nicholas didn't hesitate at all, and immediately rushed towards Leah as fast as he could, which surprised Conrad slightly.

"It seems that the magic just now ran out and I couldn't stand up, so I pretended to be out." Conrad looked at Nicholas's speed comparable to that of a first-level martial artist and frowned.

The dueling arena was not far from the Warrior Branch, and Nicholas ran all the way to Leah's apprenticeship.

"Don't ...... anything"

Nicholas prayed secretly and looked through the window in a nervous mood, but there was no one to be seen.

Nicholas panicked in his heart, but suddenly remembered that the warrior spent most of his time in the training ground, and immediately rushed to the apprentice training ground exclusive to the apprentice class.

These were all places where Leah studied, and Nicholas was naturally very familiar with them, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the apprenticeship training ground, and he was slightly relieved to see a group of young children training inside.

Leah was fighting Jasmine with a wooden sword while Mentor Silas was teaching the other academies.

It seems that he is overly worried.

Completely relieved, Nicholas prepared to go in to warn Leah and Mentor Silas that something was wrong with the Magic Sorting Chamber, but at the door, he found a magic shield blocking his way.

Why is there a magic circle here that blocks people!?

Nicholas was shocked, full of uneasiness again, and looked at Silas, who had already discovered him, a little surprised, and he suddenly became nervous.

"Nicholas? How did you come here? Did you come to see Leah? Silas turned to a smile and beckoned to Nicholas, "Come in." ”

Get in? But there's a magic shield in his way, doesn't Silas know either?

Nicholas was about to tell Silas that there was a magic shield that blocked people, only to find that the magic shield had disappeared.

"Aren't you dueling!? Why is it here? Leah was even more surprised to see Nicholas, and immediately trotted over and asked.

Nicholas didn't answer, looking at Leah, he walked in and immediately took her hand, originally wanting to take her away from this seemingly strange place immediately, only to find that the magic shield behind her was raised again.

As a magician, he was sensitive to the flow of mana, and he couldn't feel wrong at such a close distance.

"What are you doing!?"

Leah's face was flushed, she was very shy and wanted to shake off Nicholas's hand, but she couldn't shake it off, she found that Nicholas was clutching very tightly, and her palms were still full of cold sweat.

"Leah's brother, I heard that you seem to be dueling with Conrad, why did you come here?" Silas walked over with a smile on his face, he was tall and mighty, and he could give people an oppressive force just by standing there.

"The duel is over, and I found out that Leah didn't go to cheer me on, so I'm a little angry and want to ask her." Nicholas grinned a grin, casually making an excuse.

"Don't blame her, she wanted to cheer for you with little Jasmine before, but I didn't let it, today's class is very important and indispensable." Celestia explained.

Leah kept her head down and didn't speak, as if she was sorry for not being able to cheer Nicholas on.

"So that's the case, I just thought, I didn't expect little Jasmine to want to cheer for me, I have to thank her well."

Nicholas looked suddenly enlightened, took Leah's hand and walked towards Jasmine, who wanted to come but didn't dare to come, Silas had already made him suspicious, he didn't dare to stay by his side at all.

"Hurry up and let me go, a lot of people are watching." Leah's face flushed, and she struggled to let Nicholas go, but Nicholas just wouldn't let go, but grabbed it tighter and tighter.

"So what happened?" Silas asked again, calmly staring at his back.

"Lost." Nicholas replied with a wry smile.

"It's okay, you didn't lose unjustly, I taught Conrad's kid, he has a good talent, and he has entered the realm of a fourth-level martial artist, which is very different from your current realm, and it is already very admirable that you have the courage to duel with him." Silas was not surprised, and comforted him as if he were a very friendly mentor.

Hearing this, Leah couldn't help but hold Nicholas's hand with her backhand.

"Mentor Silas, can I take Leah for a while? She has an important friend who wants to see her. Nicholas didn't care about that at all right now, he just wanted to take the opportunity to take Leah away.

"Who?" Leah asked, surprised.

"Not today, I'll teach them very important things next, you can stay and listen to it, it's also very helpful for you, and I'll take her to see that friend after class." Silas shook his head.

Sure enough, there was a problem......

Nicholas was even more uneasy, and he gave Leah a very far-fetched smile and replied, "It's Lacey." ”

Then he unconsciously pulled her back a little, and Jasmine, seeing Nicholas approaching, glanced at him timidly, and quickly went around to Leah's other side and took Leah's other hand.

"Lacey!? Is he back? ”

Leah thought for a moment before remembering who Reis was, slightly surprised, that it was not Nicholas's best playmate in childhood.

Nicholas nodded slightly, he didn't say anything more to Leado, his eyes looked around, thinking of a way to get out. Although he was very reluctant to believe it, it was really very likely that this Silas was the remnant of the Yanlong, but he didn't know what he wanted to trap these apprentices here for, did he want to kill them all?

Nicholas unconsciously touched the bottle of magic enhancement potion in his pocket, he knew that he couldn't deal with Silas at all, but if something really happened, he would definitely do his best to stop Silas and delay until someone else came to the rescue.

"What's wrong? Is something going on? Leah asked as she felt that Nicholas's palms were covered in cold sweat and were still trembling faintly.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

Nicholas shook his head unnaturally, and whispered in her ear: "Wait, no matter what happens, don't be afraid, just hide behind me, I will definitely protect you, don't speak quietly now." ”

Leah couldn't help but tighten her grip on Nicholas's hand when she heard this, it was obvious that something would happen, Nicholas was afraid, why was he afraid when there was a mentor of Silas here? The only one who could scare him here was Mentor Silas......

Thinking that Nicholas had warned her to be careful of her mentor, Leah's gaze couldn't help but fall on Mentor Silas.
