Rickon's eyes were dark, and he didn't expect Mick to be able to think of such a tactic and seal his magic.

At this time, the two of them were basically in the center of the magic array, and it would take at least five seconds to run out, and Mick had already begun to condense the second-order magic array, unless Mick's blow was flashed, it was absolutely impossible to have a chance to escape from this magic array.

The winner is likely to be decided in the next blow.

Both Rickon and Mick are well aware of this.

The second-order earth-based magic used by Mick is called "Earth Spike", which is the earth-based magic that William used in the previous battle with Kenneth, and can create a thrust to stab opponents on the surface within a range of 20 meters.

Without any bonus of acceleration magic, I'm afraid only someone like Kenneth can get around it.

For some reason, Rickon, who was in danger, sighed softly.

There was no hesitation in Mick's eyes, and he immediately released the magic that was already ready.

The next moment, a thick thorn immediately sprouted from where Rickon had been standing, but Rickon had disappeared in place.

And Mick didn't see anything clearly when he felt a heavy punch in the abdomen, and he immediately lost consciousness, his wide eyes were no longer focused, and then slowly closed his eyes.

And Rickon, who had done all this, showed a look of disgust, and looked at Mick hanging on his arm, his eyes were full of admiration, and he sighed in a low voice: "Although...... Forget it, so be it. ”

Rickon took out the number plate that Mick had placed in the tournament space ring, and then crushed it to declare himself the winner of the match.

"The winner of this game is, Rickon Luther." The two were then transported to the infirmary, and Rickon watched as Mick was taken away by the nurse, stood still and looked down at his right hand, clenched his fist, and turned away.

After Rickon's victory, the results of the other five groups were also released, and Kenneth finally managed to qualify, defeating the fourth-year seniors in the finals, and becoming an official member of the Lutheran School of Magic and Wizardry as a first-year student at the Holy Grail Ceremony.

As for the other four, they are the student council president, Clair Ignatz, the fourth-year student Beavis Geller, the fourth-year student Don Tucci, and the third-year student Shut Kutpari, all of whom are members of the student council.

All the students wished the six winners a great performance at the Grail Sacrifice and a place in the top five.

Although everyone in the Phil House regretted Mick's defeat, after all, Kenneth still qualified as an official team member, and what was even more exciting was that the next competition would determine the next student president, which made the final battle of the selection battle become highly anticipated.

Of course, these are all afterthoughts, in order to celebrate Kenneth's exit and to comfort Mick, Auston proposes to go to dinner outside the school, but Brandon thinks that the restaurant outside is expensive and not tasty, so it is better to celebrate in the villa. In the final vote, Brandon's proposal won by five votes. Auston had no choice but to cook for everyone again, but when he was preparing, he found that the ingredients were a little insufficient, so he asked Brandon to go outside the school to buy some ingredients and come back.

However, in the end, Kenneth snatched the job of going out to buy, and by the way, he pulled a somewhat lost Mick, and after asking Auston for the funds for the purchase, he went out with Mick.

Luther's North Avenue is Derrickley's famous Tangrek Avenue, lined with famous fashion stores, jewelry stores, high-end hotels and other high-end shopping venues, which is naturally not the place for Kenneth and Mick, who walked out of the South Gate and headed to Barrow Market on the east side of Moliana Avenue.

The Barrow Market is also a landmark of Luther City and is a great place for passers-by. Barrow Market has a variety of ingredients and snacks from the north and south, as well as a variety of novel knick-knacks. Most of the people who come to Barrow Market during the day are Luther locals who come to buy fresh ingredients, but if you want to visit, you have to come at night to see a variety of night market snacks, and you can also watch classic stage plays from the north or puppet shows unique to the south in the circular square in the center of the market.

Kenneth and everyone in the Fil House had been here once and had fully experienced the unique charm of Barrow Market, but unfortunately it was still afternoon, and it was not yet the busiest time of Barrow Market, which made Kenneth feel very sorry.

And Mick saw Kenneth's appearance and laughed: "As for such a pity? ”

The two walked across a stone bridge and onto Moltby Street, where the Barrow Market is located. Kenneth heard Mick's question and said of course, "Of course, Mick, you don't know how lively it is at night!" ”

Mick hadn't been to Barrow Market with anyone in Phil House because he had been in Calvin's lab all the time, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Really? ”

And Kenneth, who has always been nervous, didn't notice Mick's emotions, and sighed: "We went to a lot of interesting places, but unfortunately Mick you are not there." ”

"Hmm......" Mick just nodded silently, it seems that Kenneth is also living a very good life in his absence. Thinking like this, Mick's depression deepened.

"But it would be better if Mick were here." Kenneth, who was holding his neck with his hands, smacked his lips and said, as if he had already smelled the aroma of food, "No, you always feel like something is missing." Well...... This is the aroma of caramel chocolate cake? ”

Mick was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of sourness suddenly passed through his heart. After sacrificing so much time, he was still defeated by Rickon, so what was the use of his previous efforts? Not only is he not qualified to participate in the Holy Grail Sacrifice now, but his relationship with Kenny has become much more estranged, Mick thinks so, only to feel that he has achieved nothing, and his face is full of frustration.

Kenneth, who was still attracted by the aroma of the stalls at the front of the market, looked back and saw Mick's depressed face, so he hurriedly ran to Mick's side and said, "Mick, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mick pursed his lips and sat down on the side of the road, buried his head between his arms, and muffled, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." ”

"Tired after just such a short walk? Mick, looks like you're going to have to exercise more! Kenneth sat down beside Mick, unoblivious to the gazes of passers-by, revealing the muscular muscles of his arms.

Although Kenneth was strengthening his physique with the power of the dragon, Kenneth himself was constantly exercising, running two laps around the school every morning, or 16 kilometers, as a warm-up exercise, and then a muscle exercise. Marcus gritted his teeth to persevere when he first trained with Kenneth, and he has adapted a lot now.

"Kenny, what the hell am I doing now...... Mick said chagrined, disappointed at what he had done.

Kenneth realized that Mick was feeling lost about the game, but he put his arm around Mick's shoulder and grinned, "Didn't you just lose the game?" What's the big deal? ”

Hearing this, Mick shook off Kenneth's warm hand and said with some emotion: "Do you know how much effort I put in?!" Do you know how important it is for me to win against Rickon?! ”

"I don't know," Kenneth said with a stunned look on his face, "You didn't tell me anything, leaving me alone to study magic with Professor Duncan, what do you want me to know?!" ”

Mick was stunned, his lips twitched for a long time, the anger in his eyes dissipated completely under Kenneth's gaze, and he lowered his head and said, "Kenny, I'm sorry." ”

"Haven't we been together all the time? Didn't we say we would work together? But you left me aside, do you know how hard I was at the time? "Kenneth is always very aggressive, but he cherishes the affection between brothers. Kenneth's heart was broken even now, although it was mended during the football game, but the rift still existed, and Mick, who had always been careful, did not notice it because of Rickon's pressure, and devoted himself to learning, which slowly widened.

"I said you could tell me if you had any difficulties, and I would definitely help you, but you didn't trust me, and you haven't told me what your difficulties are. Mick, what the hell is wrong with you? ”

Mick looked at Kenneth's sincere eyes, a warm gaze that could illuminate all the gloom in his heart. Mick hesitated for a long time, and finally lowered his head as if he had given up resistance, "Will you go back to school?" I'll tell you everything. ”

Kenneth smiled and said to Mick, "Then it's settled!" You can't break your word! ”

Mick got up, although the road was very clean, he still habitually patted the dust that might be stained on his buttocks, although his heart was still a little heavy, but he still vented a little: "Let's go, buy the ingredients first, Auston is still waiting for us to go back to prepare for the banquet." ”

"Okay!" Kenneth smiled back and ran into Barrow Market with Mick, but first showed him a special snack.

In the president's office, Maddie came to Clall with a police officer from the police station, and after shaking hands with Clal, he said straight to the point: "Hello, Luther City Sheriff's Office, just call me Ed, I came here today to find the student named Kenneth Lancelot, we have urgent matters to ask him." ”

Claire frowned and said in a deep voice, "Is something happening?" ”

Ed lifted the brim of his hat and said solemnly: "Yesterday, a well-known wealthy man in our city, Christel Pustley, died tragically at home, a family of four plus sixteen servants were all killed, and the murderer left a letter behind some of them and hung them naked from the banyan tree in the courtyard. And the letters together mean, 'Kenneth Lancellott, die.'" (Kenneth Lancelot, die.) So I wanted to talk to that student and protect him. ”

"Is there anything suspicious?" Clare asked.

Ed nodded, a look of fear in his eyes: "The leader of the Bloodblade Thieves, Leobard Tegrelit. ”

Hearing this, Claire also had a solemn look on her face.
