Chapter 62: A Powerful Enemy
The five of them were stunned when they heard what Auston said, while Kevin looked pensive.
Brandon frowned at Alston and asked, "What do you mean by that?" What does it mean that Kenny has weirdness on him? ”
Auston directly ignored Brandon and looked at the other four: "He is obviously an exceptional student, but he is not even a first-order magician; He was obviously a magician, but he possessed a physical fitness that was comparable to that of a high-level adventurer. That kind of speed and power, do you think it's really just an ordinary martial art? ”
Jasmine was obviously more knowledgeable than the others, and after listening to Auston's words, she nodded lightly and said, "I also think Kenneth is a little strange......
Mona wrapped her arms around Jasmine's waist from behind and said nonchalantly, "What's so strange about this, didn't you say that the captain is an exceptional enrollee?" So what must be special? What are you doing so seriously? ”
"Mona, it's so itchy~" But Mona wrapped her hand around Jasmine and made a strange move, so that Jasmine couldn't help but let out a coquettish cry, not caring about the three boys in the room at this time.
Interrupted by Mona, Auston also felt as if he was thinking too much.
While they were talking, two more people walked up to Auston's bedside, and it was Rickon who brought Heath to visit Auston.
Although Auston and Rickon were indeed classmates, and had met a few times at the Rakles aristocratic dinner, they were not very acquainted, and Rickon's appearance here was obviously a bit abrupt.
Although Rickon was wearing a school robe that was indistinguishable from the rest of his classmates, his dignity was evident, and when he appeared in the room, he immediately became the center of the room, while the rest of the Phil House unconsciously squeezed aside and gave up space to Rickon.
Perhaps this is the so-called "aura".
Jasmine whispered to Mona after seeing Rickon, "Is this person a friend of Auston?" ”
Mona looked at Rickon hostilely, and Jasmine bit her ear and said, "This person is the common enemy of our Phil team, so now he is also Jasmine's enemy!" ”
"Ah, is it our enemy?" Jasmine was startled, but she unconsciously regarded Rickon as an enemy, and wondered, "Doesn't look like a bad guy......
"How could he not, he's a scumbag! Jasmine, you're so kind, don't be deceived by his pretentious appearance! ”
Just as Mona and Jasmine bit their ears, Rickon raised his hand and greeted Auston, "Auston Constantine, long time no see." ”
Auston unconsciously sat up straight and nodded to Rickon, "Rickon Luther, you've only seen you twice at the Duke's dinner since you graduated, right?" ”
Rickon smiled and nodded, then walked over to Auston and asked, "How is it, I heard that you were injured by the captain of Team McGee?" ”
The look of concern on his face did not seem to be fake.
Auston just shook his head and said, "I don't dare to assert anything without evidence." ”
Rickon smiled slightly, glanced at the others in the Phil Building, and asked sideways, "Where did Mick Hylud go?" I don't think I've seen him in the game, have I? ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Auston's eyes, but before Auston could come up with a reason, Brandon had already blurted out: "That guy Mick won't participate in this competition, of course you can't see him." ”
Rickon's brow furrowed imperceptibly when he heard this, this subtle change in expression was not seen by others, but Auston sensitively caught the change.
"Well, no wonder......" Rickon nodded, and then said to the group, "Although we have different positions, I still hope to have a good game with everyone." ”
Because of the preconceived relationship, Brandon only felt that the Rickon in front of him was acting coyly, so he said angrily: "Then we have to wait until you pass the third round!" Also, remember our bet, don't admit it when you lose! ”
only to hear Heath say to Brandon with a mocking expression: "Don't you know that we have a bye to enter the fourth round?" ”
"What?! So lucky?! Brandon said with envy and hatred.
Rickon glanced at everyone again and smiled, "I hope we can meet you in the next round." If you win, I will keep my promise. After saying that, he performed a standard aristocratic gentleman's salute, and then led Heath out of the infirmary.
Heath looked at Rickon, who was walking silently in front of him, and for some reason his heart was uneasy, and he asked tremblingly, "Ricken, Ricken, are you okay?" ”
“…… He didn't even show up for the race......" Rickon suddenly stopped, nearly causing Heath to crash into his back.
"What are you talking about?" Heath sneaked a glance at Rickon's face, only to see that Rickon, who had always been smiling, suddenly became extremely gloomy, completely revealing a creepy temperament as if he had changed into a different person.
If Rickon was a noble gentleman before, he is a terrifying monster at this time.
And Heath, who had seen Rickon's side, couldn't help but shudder and asked, "Is it because of that first-year student named 'Mick'?" ”
Rickon nodded slowly, and said in a cold tone, "I finally found the toy...... Where the hell are you hiding? Then he lifted his steps and walked back forward.
What the hell does this toy mean...... Heath, though curious, closed his mouth rather than acquaintance, and silently followed Ricken.
——————
In an underground laboratory.
Mick, who was obsessed with the study of magic, suddenly felt a chill running through his back, interrupting his train of thought, so he simply put down the magic array in his hand and rested for a while. Now Mick spends almost twenty hours a day in the basement and only sleeps six hours a day, almost frantically remembering the thousand magic circles that Calvin gave him.
Mick looked at the growing pile of paper on his left, not even a tenth of the height of the pile on his right, but he felt a sense of satisfaction.
Over the past month, the time for him to memorize the magic array has gradually shortened, from the two months spent at the beginning of the memory confinement wind, to three or four days to memorize a second-order magic array. He had become more and more familiar with the composition of the second-order magic array, and even the weaving of magic spells had found some tricks to facilitate his memorization faster.
Although the meaning of each magic rune has been translated, the problem is that in addition to the eight basic magic runes, there is often more than one meaning of the other magic runes, which can be diametrically opposed or completely unrelated in different contexts. As a result, a magical spell translated into human language can be translated into several different meanings, making it difficult to memorize it with semantics.
At this time, Mick was facing a fire-type second-order magic array, called "Explosion Trap", which was very similar to the first-order magic "Explosion Prank", but it would cause real burn and explosion damage, and it was a magic with considerable lethality.
Mick looked at the seemingly irregular magic runes and lamented, "If only you were literally writing......
And Naru, who was sitting on the other side and was studying human language seriously, glanced at Mick, and then let out a burst of grunting words from his mouth: "Mick, Li is also cutting the shower curtain horse?" (Are you also learning the language)"
Mick blinked, a drop of cold sweat running across his forehead, and then a smile of encouragement that seemed to make sense of the chirping.
It's just that after thinking that Mick could understand what he said, he immediately became excited, ran to Mick's side and began to talk about his half-raw, writhing human language, Mick wanted to cry in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face that should be considered a smile.
Just five minutes after Naruto muttered, the basement door suddenly opened, and Calvin, who had gone out to watch the ball game, walked in, and saw Naruto standing next to Mick talking to Mick, so he was curious: "What are you two talking about?" So happy? ”
Mick hurriedly asked Calvin as if he had seen a savior, "Professor, how are they, did they win?" ”
Who they are is self-evident.
Calvin stretched out his finger and nodded at Mick, and said with a wicked smile: "I still said that I don't care, since I want to know the result so much, why don't you go and watch their game yourself?" ”
"Don't say anything that will delay your studies, I don't believe it. Are you hiding from your roommates? Why? Mick was about to speak when Calvin interrupted him, and he was speechless for a moment.
Calvin sighed, put his hand on Mick's shoulder, and said, "Although magicians often explore the truth of this world alone, lonely souls cannot escape the pain after all. If you have any questions, just try to talk to your partner, and of course you can find me. ”
Mick was silent, Calvin said that he didn't understand, but what if he told Kenny about his own problem? In the end, he had to face Rickon alone, and telling Kenny would only add to his troubles.
Mick raised his head and smiled firmly, "Professor, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Calvin was helpless when he saw this, and although Mick looked mild, he was tough on the inside, the exact opposite of Kenneth. Calvin thought for a moment and said to Mick: "The silver-haired center in your team seems to be injured in today's game, why don't you go and visit?" ”
"Auston...... Mick still had a very good impression of Auston, and when he heard that he was injured, he couldn't help but be a little concerned.
"It seems to be quite badly wounded...... Calvin said, intentionally or not.
Mick smiled when he heard this: "Professor, do you want to kick me out like that?" ”
Calvin, who was seen through his intentions, touched his forehead in embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject: "The situation of your team is a little bad." Although there is an existence comparable to a monster like Kenneth, there are monsters in other teams that are not weaker than him. ”
"Oh? Is it? Mick was a little concerned about this, after all, it was related to the safety of the side.
Calvin nodded and said, "For example, the center of the Franconian team, and the captain of the Bertham team, it seems that he is still the great-grandson of the principal." ”
"Rickon Luther......" Mick muttered softly with a complicated look in his eyes.
