Chapter Seventy-Nine: Advance to the Finals
"Careless...... It's troublesome......" Looking at Kenneth in front of the goal, Negles withdrew his staff and scratched his fluffy curls.
Then he was slapped in the head, and Negles sneered and turned to look at Peter, but Peter preemptively said, "You did a good job." ”
Nigles was stunned, even if they had won Peter in the previous game, they had never praised him, and now he was praised by Peter for his carelessness and mistakes.
"You're serious, aren't you?" The corners of Peter's mouth curled.
“…… It's really long-winded...... "Negles' face flushed slightly, and then his face changed back to his original facial paralysis appearance that he hadn't woken up.
Although the magic strength of Negles successfully controlled the six members of the Phil team, there were only fifteen seconds left for the Franconian team, and they were naturally powerless under Kenneth's blocking, and the game was tied 5-5.
Considering the Wizard's weak physique, the Magic Soccer match will not be played in overtime, but will be directly penalized, which is undoubtedly a blessing for the Phil team.
The goalkeeper of the Phil team was naturally replaced by Kenneth, and the goalkeeper of the Franconian team remained the same.
In the end, thanks to Kenneth's outstanding defensive ability, the Phil team narrowly defeated the Franconians 1-0 in the final penalty shootout. However, to Auston's displeasure, it was Brandon, a football rookie, who scored the goal, yelling excitedly on the pitch after scoring the goal. However, there was one other person who was just as excited as him, and that was Kenneth, who was the captain, hugged Brandon warmly and ran wildly on the court, and if it wasn't for Mick and Alston coming up to stop him, I really don't know how long the two would have run.
The bitter battle with the Franconians finally ended with a victory for the Philes, and after the referee announced the result of the match, the two teams shook hands with each other as was customary to sign that the match ended peacefully.
Kenneth looked at Peter, Peter's height was only above Kenneth's chest and shoulders, and there was not much frustration on his face, and he still had a young and handsome face, so that Kenneth could vaguely see the shadow of the president in him, but he didn't have the thick majesty of the president.
"Congratulations." Peter looked up at Kenneth and held out his hand to say calmly.
"Hehe, good luck." Kenneth said as he touched the back of his head with one hand and held Peter's hand with the other.
Peter was noncommittal, looked at Mick standing next to Kenneth and asked, "Why haven't you seen him play before?" ”
"Uh...... He's our secret weapon, haha. Kenneth laughed dryly and sloppily at him.
"I see. Did you deliberately make us careless in the first half? Peter wondered.
Kenneth cheekily nodded, "Didn't expect that, right?" ”
Peter believed it and nodded honestly, "I really didn't expect it, it seems that I still underestimated you." ”
While Kenneth was communicating with Peter, Mick was also looking the sleepy Negles up and down, stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "Hello." ”
Negles raised his eyelids and glanced at Mick, and when he saw the number in front of Mick, he remembered that he was the second-order magician of the Phil team, so he shook it back and said, "Hello." ”
"Your talent is truly astonishing." Mick sighed. Although Mick didn't know why he had such a powerful mental power now, he could still vaguely guess that it was related to Hephaestus, and compared to his own adventures, Negles could have such a talent, which would naturally make Mick, who was originally an ordinary talent, respectful.
But Negles just waved his hand, and listlessly pulled Peter's sleeve and said, "Whatever, it's really troublesome...... Captain, can you go? ”
Peter nodded, and the two teams parted ways to walk off the field.
Mick looked at Nigles, who looked like a lazy house cat, shook his head and smiled, "What a strange person......"
————————
In the audience, Rickon watched Mick walk out of the court, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he chuckled, "Isn't this here...... Even deliberately deceived me, is this also a tactic? ”
Seeing the inadvertent look on Ricken's face, Heath reminded Ricken: "Rickon, the day after tomorrow is the group finals, shouldn't we discuss the countermeasures?" ”
Rickon turned his head, his gaze falling on Hiss's face. Although Hiss was greedy for vanity, as can be seen from the fact that he always wore elaborate clothes, and also had the common problems of ordinary nobles, he was indeed a man of considerable ability. After confessing to Rickon what he had done, Rickon did not blame Hiss, but trusted and relied on Hiss more. For Rickon, who believes in elitism, the first factor in judging a person's value is his ability, and his character is not even ranked second, so he can still get along with him even though he knows that Heath is deliberately friendly with him because of his identity.
Rickon looked at a dark-haired boy named Teddy, born in a civilian family in Luther City, who was ordinary-looking, the kind of person who couldn't be found if he was thrown into the crowd, and his presence in the dormitory was very thin. However, Teddy was the first roommate Rickon met after entering Luther School of Magic, and he was kind to him. For Hiss, who has a sense of aristocratic superiority, the rest of the dormitory is a little respectful, and even not too close to Rickon, but Teddy always follows the two of them, but because of his low sense of existence, he is often ignored (including the author himself), because Teddy is often ridiculed as the pet of the noble lord, but Teddy is always silent, and then continues to follow Rickon.
As for the other people in the dormitory (five men and one woman), Rickon just glanced at them casually, because His's relationship Rickon was not too familiar with them, but their magician strength was still understood, and they all belonged to the level of ordinary freshmen, and they mastered no more than three magics.
Except for Riken, the Bertlem team has no bright spots, even the aristocratic Heath, that is, he is better than others in football skills. In terms of his level as a magician, he only has a level of affinity with the earth element, and the magic he masters is actually only earth wall magic and small perception improvement, which is not even comparable to Brandon.
However, just like Kenneth is to Team Phil, it is precisely because of this highlight of Rickon that the Bertham team has the strength to win the championship.
Rickon smiled like a gentleman and said, "Let's win the group, guys." ”
The Bertreum team members, who deeply understood the strength of the young man in front of them, nodded respectfully.
Because this teenager is at a level that is completely above them.

In the VIP seat where Clall was.
Alva nodded, "Kenneth Lancelot, Nigles Gale, these two children are really good." No wonder Krall has such a soft spot for that kid named Kenneth. ”
“…… It's just a little curious. Maddie, the freshman named Negles, should be a third-order magician. Claire said to Alva in a perfunctory manner, and then told Maddie to take notes.
All Clall does is the annual routine of examining the true strengths of all the new students, making it easier to manage them, and recruiting the best new students into the student union.
Alva's eyes flashed with joy: "This year's new students are really amazing. ”
Claire glanced at Alva, who didn't have a little headmaster's shelf, and said flatly: "I heard that your great-grandson is even more amazing, it seems that there is some adventure?" ”
Alva thought of a blonde-haired and blue-eyed child in his mind, and for some reason a trace of pity flashed in his heart: "Yes, that kid is probably already the best genius in the Luther family in the past two hundred years." ”
Alva suddenly looked at Claire and said with bad intentions: "Your position as the student council president may belong to the Luther family." ”
"Then in order not to let the Luther family cover the sky, it seems that it is necessary for me to carefully choose my successor." Krar made a nonchalant joke, causing Alva to burst into laughter.
Maddie shook her head, recorded Negles' strength in her notebook, and then pointed to the paper with a pen and said, "Is that freshman named Kenneth really a magician?" After four games, he never seemed to use a single spell. ”
"Maybe it's just a matter of preserving strength." Claire said in a flat tone, "The end of this round is the finals of each group, I think I will be able to see it clearly then." ”
"Speaking of competitions, Clal, you've won the championship for two years in a row, so it's time to let the other kids go, right?" Alva said with sympathy.
"Since it's a competition, there's no mercy." Claire said ruthlessly, while Maddie on the side snickered secretly, originally with Clal's strength and identity, she actually wanted to withdraw from the game to give other students a chance, all because she was on the sidelines so she reluctantly participated in this football game.
Alva looked at the huge scar on the right side of Claire's face, and asked without worrying that Claire would mind, "Do you plan to stay in the academy after graduating this year?" ”
Graduates of the Luther School of Magic generally have two paths, one is to join the Wizards' Guild directly, or the other is to stay in the academy and become a member of the academy organization. The former receives a high salary from the Wizards Association every month, but he needs to accept the instructions of the Wizards Association at any time; The latter is much freer, in addition to the student union, the school also has many external institutions, such as the Department of Magic Technology, etc., many of the people in it are graduates of the previous student union, and they are the real core of the college, assisting the normal operation of the college, and the student union is the inside and outside.
Alva made no secret of his admiration for Clal, and this question undoubtedly extended an olive branch to Clal.
It's just that Claire silently stroked the scar on the right side of his face, shook his head and said, "The principal's kind students have understood it, but I have made up my mind." Master Derrickly has granted my request. ”
Alva looked at Maddy and shrugged her shoulders to show that she had done her best, while Maddie looked down sullenly and looked at the tip of her shoe after glaring at Alva, who didn't look like a principal.
"Then I'm going too." Maddie muffled.
"No way!" But it was Alva and Clal's voices that rang out at the same time.
Maddie tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looked at Claire stubbornly, and said, "Why can't I go when you can go?" ”
"Do you think you can convince Lord Alexia to agree to you becoming a Ranger?" Claire said smoothly and in a low voice.
"This ......," Maddie said, stamping her foot, "then I'll sneak with you!" ”
Claire knew the temper of the eldest lady in front of him, and he felt tricky for a while, and this man who could deal with it calmly no matter what kind of desperate situation he faced, his brows couldn't help but lock.
Alva looked at the young man as if he were arguing as a couple, and pressed the wide cloth hat on his head, and once again felt that it seemed that there was something wrong with him sitting here......
