Seven o'clock in the morning.

Kenneth yawned and stood in the garden of the hotel's atrium, but saw no shadow of a person.

The whole Weidmann Hotel is a square structure building, the outer circle of the atrium is a large garden labyrinth, the center is a man-made lake, the center of the lake is an ivory white tower, the lake water flows up from the four walls of the white tower, converges in the sculpture of the blade-toothed tiger at the top of the tower, and spews water from the tiger's mouth of the blade-toothed tiger sculpture. There are palm trees around the artificial lake, and the outer side is paved with cobblestone roads, and then the outer circle of roads is paved with large pieces of silver lake stones, and there is a faint appearance of water surging in the stones, in fact, the water element is constantly circulating in this circle of silver lake stone roads, which is said to not only play a role in cooling, but also enhance physical fitness. On the outermost side is a ring of wooden floors with a cloister on which guests can sit and relax.

At this time, Kenneth was standing by the man-made lake, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if everyone else would be fine, but the elder would be late.

Thinking of this, Kenneth thought of a possibility, and after patting his head, he took out a simple wand from the spatial ring. Because Vader said that some equipment still needs to be adjusted, and it is said that he will not get it until noon today, so Kenneth can still only use his original equipment in a poor way.

Kenneth used the second-order fire magic "Scorching Vision", and his pupils immediately glowed red, and he saw six red figures a hundred meters away from him in just one sweep.

When Krar and the others saw Kenneth using magic, they lifted the magic, revealing the form of six people, and then walked towards Kenneth.

"It doesn't seem too slow." Clair said nonchalantly.

Schut, who was standing behind Clal, lifted his gold-rimmed glasses and glanced at Kenneth without commenting.

William nodded to Kenneth and greeted, "Kenneth, congratulations on your recovery." ”

A handsome man about 170 centimeters tall with long bright blond hair walked up to Kenneth with a curious expression, and the strong smell of cologne on his body almost made Kenneth choke.

What surprised Kenneth even more was that the handsome man who was dressed carefully looked Kenneth up and down carefully, then hugged him enthusiastically, patted Kenneth on the back and said, "Hello, you are the junior brother who won William!" I'm Norman Geller, please advise! ”

Kenneth was so impressed by the smell of Norman's perfume that he was still happy with his enthusiastic attitude, so he stopped Norman from hugging him again, held his hands and shook it: "Senior Norman, my name is Kenneth Lancelot, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

Another black-haired and black-eyed man wearing a style of clothing that Kenneth had never seen before walked up behind Norman, grabbed Norman's back collar and threw it back, and said unceremoniously: "Okay, don't frighten the junior brother with your appearance." Hello Kenneth, I'm Tucci Don and I'm from Andrwa. ”

Kenneth held Tang's hand, but curiously pointed to the clothes on Tang's body and said, "Senior Tang, I don't seem to have seen the clothes on your body before?" ”

I saw that Tang was wearing a loose black gown, which covered Tang's calves, but the slit at the waist did not hinder his movements; The lower half of the body is a pair of trousers, and a pair of cloth shoes are stepped on. This costume was obviously different from what Kenneth saw every day, so he asked curiously.

"Oh, this is the main costume of the yellow people in the Andwa region, called 'cheongsam', which is also our unique costume, please don't be surprised." It wasn't the first time Tang had heard someone bring up this question, so he explained it with a smile and a simple sentence.

After Don and Kenneth greeted each other, Rickon stepped forward and shook hands, "Kenneth, I heard that you eliminated the leader of the Bloodblade Thieves Group that has plagued the Adventurers' Guild for many years?" It's remarkable. ”

Kenneth and Rickon have known each other for a long time, and the identity problem of Ming was successfully resolved thanks to Rickon's help, although Kenneth had a grudge against Rickon for eliminating Mick, but he still showed a straightforward smile and said: "It's just a fluke, you and all the seniors won the honor of winning the first place in the selection competition, which is much more amazing than me." ”

Rickon wanted to say something, but saw that Claire had already clapped his hands and said, "That's all for gossip." Start training now. ”

As soon as Krar spoke, the other six people immediately stopped talking, and spontaneously formed a semicircle around Krar as the center, listening carefully to Krar's instructions.

"Although we have seven people now, we have to determine the six people who will play before the official game, and we must not make substitutions in the middle of the game, otherwise we will be disqualified from the game. So be mentally prepared not to play, especially you, Kenneth. Claire glanced at Kenneth and continued, "I think everyone knows the format of the game, so I'll just repeat it here. Each game is divided into two parts: individual competition and team competition, the individual competition is carried out in the form of a ring battle, the two teams send three people, the team that wins three wins, and one point is recorded for winning; In team battles, three players are fielded, and the remaining players of the winning side add points. The team with the highest total score in both rounds wins. Any questions? His eyes fell only on Kenneth.

Kenneth was immediately dissatisfied: "Boss, why do you only look at me? ”

"Do you understand?"

"Uh...... I guess I understand. Kenneth replied with some uncertainty.

Claire nodded and continued: "This format is very different from the tryouts, and the extra team battles are obviously more important, so we need to do a lot of run-in training in the past two days. First of all, we need to know each other's good magic, so let's start with me. I'm good at earth-based magic, which is mainly defensive and trap magic, and can cast up to the fifth order of magic. ”

"Are you sure you're defensive magic, President?" Xiut pushed his glasses and pointed out.

The other four who had seen Clair's magic nodded approvingly, that kind of defensive magic seemed to be more effective for attacking than defensive, right?

As for Kenneth, he thought of the fifth-order earth-based magic "Earth Spirit Seal" that Kraal used to him when he started school, which was the defensive magic in the boss's mouth?

"Overall, it's still the same. Next up is Shute. Clall said calmly.

Xiut glanced at everyone and introduced himself, "I am a fourth-order magician of the water system, and I am good at healing and attacking magic. ”

With the exception of Kenneth, everyone else who had fought alongside Shut nodded, and they were impressed by Shut's stormy ice magic.

Seeing Klar looking at him, William withdrew his gaze from Kenneth without a trace and introduced to everyone: "I am a fourth-order earth and wind magician, mainly defensive magic, but I also know a little about other types of magic. ”

However, Kenneth smiled when he heard this: "Senior William, you are too modest, aren't you good at every type of magic?" ”

William hadn't spoken yet, but it was Claire who glanced at Kenneth and said, "It's not your turn yet." Next, Norman? ”

Then Kenneth saw Norman's face and explained loudly with passion: "Except for Kenneth's junior brother, I think everyone should already know that I am a fourth-order fire magician, but in fact, I am also a third-order wind magician, and the magic I am mainly good at is not only offensive magic, but also auxiliary magic!" ”

And Tucci beside Norman immediately took over the conversation to prevent Norman from having a chance to talk nonsense, and introduced himself: "I am a fourth-order earth magician, and I am good at auxiliary magic and summoning magic. ”

So Rickon continued, "I'm a third-order wind and water magician, and I'm best at control magic. ”

Seeing that it was finally his turn, Kenneth thought of Mick's advice last night, and said to everyone: "I am a third-order mage of the fire type, but my combat ability can reach the level of a gold-level adventurer!" ”

Most of the people present had seen Kenneth's skills, but Norman asked curiously, "The level of a gold-level adventurer?" What does that mean? ”

"Hmm...... This means that I don't use magic, and I can achieve the effect of using magic with only martial arts. Kenneth lied, as Mick meant.

"Exactly?" Norman asked with interest.

"For example, speed, I can use martial arts to achieve the acceleration effect of third-order magic." Kenneth said confidently, but if he used all his strength now, he should be about to reach the effect of fourth-order magic, right?

Norman was taken aback and said, "Brother, are you kidding?" ”

Kenneth saw that Norman didn't believe it, so he appeared behind Norman in just a flash, patted Norman on the shoulder and said, "Senior, do you believe it now?" ”

But Norman was startled, and he opened his chin wide and exclaimed, "This is terrible!" ”

As for William, who had fought with Kenneth, his face was calm, but there was still a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"That's right, that's why Kenneth is here, and with him, he will definitely surprise our first-round opponents." Claire said calmly, "Now everyone knows each other a little, right?" Depending on the opponent, I will make different adjustments to the lineup, but it is very important that we have a few groups of people to work together, so let's try to get together from now on. ”

Then Kenneth heard Clall say clearly, "Schutt and Rickon are in a group." Norman and Don in a group. Kenneth, you and I and William in a trio. Try it for an hour to see how well you can work with each other. ”

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison, and then the four of Rickon walked into the distance, leaving only Claire, William, and Kenneth.

Kenneth pointed at himself with some weakness and asked, "Boss, I'm not going to hold you two back, am I?" ”

"Of course not," Claire and William glanced at each other, and also saw a look of approval in William's eyes, then looked at Kenneth and said seriously, "If it can be successful, the combination of the three of us may be the key to reversing any situation, is it clear?" ”

Kenneth swallowed hard under the eyes of Claire and William, "I will definitely try." ”
