As the final whistle blew and the first game of Group C ended, the audience was still talking about the brave captain of the Phil team.

In the audience on the left, Rickon and his roommates sat together, and after watching the game, they fell silent for a moment. Because the result of their draw was "20", and according to the schedule of the game, their game was on the fourth day, so they would sit in the audience in casual clothes or school uniforms to watch the game.

Heath looked at Rickon and frowned, thinking that he was also worried about Kenneth's performance, so he asked in a low voice, "Rickon, or we just let them go?" ”

Rickon reacted when he heard Hiss's words and asked in confusion, "Huh?" What did you say? ”

Heath gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, the bet will be abandoned, otherwise they will definitely go all out, and if we lose too ugly, I'm afraid it will affect Dorick's prestige in the academy......"

Rickon chuckled and glanced at the others, "Do you think we're going to lose?" ”

Heath wondered, "Aren't you also worried about that Kenneth?" ”

Rickon waved his hand nonchalantly and said to the others, "Their tactics are indeed interesting, but they are definitely not invincible. Team Moes is just a fan of the authorities, so they can't find a way to crack it. ”

"Then why do you look like you're frowning?" Heath wondered.

Heath watched the six players of the Phil team walk out of the field to the cheers of the crowd and muttered, "Strange, where did my toys go?" ”

"Toys? Rickon, what are you talking about? Heath had already seen the other side of Rickon, and he couldn't help but feel a chill creeping up his spine, and asked with a shudder.

Hiss looked at Hiss with a smile and said, "It's nothing, anyway, sooner or later, I'll meet sooner or later, so let me look forward to it a little more." ”

"And what are we going to do with that tactic of theirs?"

Ricken held up a finger and shook it, "This is a magic football game, and the most important thing is magic, and it can't be won by speed." Look, they're going to be in trouble in the next game. ”

Hearing Rickon say this, Heath nodded trustingly, reassuring.

"But what kind of magic did that guy Kenneth use? Is it an enchanted item? Rickon narrowed his eyes, puzzled.

"Do you want me to have someone investigate?" Hiss suggested.

"It doesn't have to be that way," Rickon smiled like an innocent child, "the unknown is the funniest thing, isn't it?" ”

Although Hiss didn't agree, he couldn't help but nod his head when he saw Ricken look like this.

"Let me look forward to it, Kenneth, Mick......" Ricken whispered with a sparkle in his eyes.

Calvin's Laboratory.

Mick, who bowed down the table, seemed to be aware of it, and raised his head to look in the direction of the iron door.

"Why, do you still want to go to a football game with other people?" Calvin, who was teaching Naruto Human, looked at Mick and smiled.

Mick pursed his lips, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, even without me, as long as Kenny is there, they won't lose." The words were full of reassurance to Kenneth.

Calvin was curious: "I'm curious, although Kenneth has an extremely high affinity for the elements, especially for the fire element, his spiritual power can't even reach the normal first-order magician, why do you trust Kenneth so much?" ”

Mick glanced at Calvin, and of course he wouldn't tell him about Kenneth's contract with the fire dragon Hephaestus, so he just snorted and said, "Because I just believe in him." ”

After speaking, he looked at the magic array diagram of the second-order magic "deception space" of the wind system in his hand again, this second-order magic array used a total of seven magic runes (including repeated use), and the difficulty of remembering was not small, Mick had spent fifteen hours on it, but he still couldn't completely memorize it.

It is necessary to explain here that although there is only one word difference between "deception space" and "deception space", the former is a second-order wind magic system that is more advanced than the latter, and the reason is that the deception space is to make some modifications to the existing spatial structure, that is, the caster can change the visual effect of the space within ten meters, just like a haha mirror, in order to achieve the purpose of defrauding the opponent. However, the deception space can only repeat the scene of one space, and does not transform the spatial structure, which is more similar to a kind of illusion magic.

In fact, the deception space is a rare growth type of magic, although only seven magic runes are used, but as long as a person's mental power is strong enough, he can correspondingly transform the density of space in a larger area, after all, it is to transform the space is not to create space, and the magic runes will not increase due to the change in the size of the transformation space.

The memory of the magic array is not exactly the same as the endorsement, only when the magic array can "emerge" in the mind, it can be regarded as a successful memory of a magic array, in which every line, every magic rune needs to be outlined in the brain with mental power in one go, once the thought is interrupted, it will be wasted, and it must be restarted.

Mick let out a breath of turbidity, his gaze carefully swept over the magic array on the table, and then closed his eyes and focused on the "inward" state.

The so-called "inward-looking" state refers to the state in which the influence of vision is isolated, so that the thoughts of the mind are displayed in front of the "eyes".

First of all, a slightly shiny circle appeared in front of Mick's eyes, then a triangle was cut into the circle, and in the center of the triangle appeared three wavy lines that symbolized the element of wind, and then a tangent diamond appeared on the outside of a circle (in fact, it was a square, just look at it upright), and finally a larger circle appeared outside the diamond and tangent to the diamond.

In this way, even if the "framework" of the second-order magic array is completed, then the most important writing procedure step is completed. Because the magic runes cannot be read, they can only be memorized by rote, and they are all quite similar vertical folds, so it is extremely difficult for magicians to memorize magic spells, just remembering a magic rune incorrectly will lead to a magic circle with a wrong memory, so that the magic cannot be cast.

This is closely related to the mental power of the individual, and the stronger the mental power, the stronger the memory. There have been scholars who have done research on spiritual power, and after tracking and investigating the changes in the mental power of fifty magicians from the age of ten to fifty, it was found that the spiritual power of human beings has been in a state of growth since birth, and before the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, the spiritual power will continue to grow, but the growth rate is getting slower and slower, until the age of twenty-five or sixteen, the mental power tends to be stable, and if no accident occurs, a person's mental power will always remain at a constant level until the day he dies.

And Mick, who already has a fourth-order spiritual power level, will naturally be easier when memorizing second-order magic spells, but it is only easier.

Mick struggled to recall the spell he had just memorized, first smoothly writing down the spell in the blank space between the triangle and the circle in the first circle, and then slowly writing down the spell in his memory between the second circle and the diamond, not daring to be careless with a single stroke.

As he drew the last dot, a magic circle appeared in front of Mick's eyes, glowing slightly.

Mick opened his eyes and looked at the magic array on the table, and then closed his eyes to check the magic array that appeared in the inner state, and the results were naturally completely consistent.

"Great! I did it! Mick excited. Although it was not the first time that he had memorized the magic array, the joy of success was still the same.

Calvin glanced at Mick's excited appearance and reminded rather disappointedly, "There are still nine hundred and eighty-six copies, keep going." ”

"No problem!" Mick's eyes became sharp again, and he stacked the magic array of the deceptive space on the thin layer of magic array on the left hand side, these were the magic array diagrams he had memorized so far, and then took down a magic array diagram from the pile of thick paper on the right hand side, and memorized it with all his heart.

Calvin looked at Mick's down-to-earth learning style and nodded in satisfaction.

"Calvin, how do you stop (how do you pronounce this)?" But Ming, who was sitting next to Calvin, tugged at Calvin's sleeve and asked Calvin inarticulately.

Calvin looked at the cuffs that he didn't know how many times he didn't know how many times he had broken, and helplessly looked at the human enlightenment book in front of Naru, on which an apple was drawn, so he used the magic spirit to communicate and translate for Naru. However, because the orc's oral structure is different from that of humans, Naru's pronunciation of human language is always muffled, and the tone is always turning around, which makes everyone in the Phil Mansion and Jasmine who have come to visit him burst into laughter.

Looking at Ming, who had been stuffy in this basement for nearly half a month, Calvin touched his beard under his chin and thought: Shouldn't I find a time to take Ming out for a breath of fresh air?

Four days later, the first round of the four groups of the Magic Football Tournament has all ended, and a total of forty teams have entered the second round, and the first team in the second round of Group C is naturally the Phil team, and the well-informed Alston has already obtained information for everyone about the next opponent.

The eve of the game. In the Phil Tower.

The six of Phil sat down on the couch with Jasmine and began a battle meeting about tomorrow's game.

As for why Jasmine is here, it is because Jasmine's team was eliminated in the first round, so the two sisters, Mona and Lisa, invited Jasmine to join their Phil team.

First of all, Alston introduced the opponent's information to everyone: "We will face tomorrow against Team Anna. There were eight players on the pitch and two substitutes, which means that they were all part of the game. There are six women and four men. The spells they used in the first round were Earth Wall, Restoration, Water Flow, Accelerated Movement, and even the second-order Magical Fire Wall and 'Deceptive Space'. It was their female captain who used magic to deceive the space in the game, which had the decisive effect and finally won 5-3. That's all the information I've gotten so far. ”

After listening to Auston's words, everyone showed solemn faces, except for Kenneth.
