The draw ceremony for the match had already taken place the day before the match, and the opponent of the first match of the Lutheran Academy of Magic was Leiden Magic Academy from the Alsevie region, which was also one of the regulars of the Holy Grail Festival, and qualified as the second place in the Alselvid region, and its strength should not be underestimated.

The entire Castro Arena is divided into three floors, the lowest level is the entrance corridor and the waiting area for the players; The second floor is a stone pillar corridor, which serves as a viewing seat for the players; The third floor is the general auditorium.

At this time, Kenneth and Clall and others stood in the corridor of the spectator seats, lying on the fence to watch the game in the field. At this time, there was a match between two colleges that Kenneth had never heard of, and Kenneth was so excited that he couldn't wait to jump down and start the game.

"Boss, when are we going to play?" Kenneth asked, looking at a calm Clar.

Claire glanced at Kenneth, who was eager to try, and said calmly: "It's our turn in the fourth game, now let's watch other people's games." ”

"What, Kenny? You can't help it now? Do you want me to practice with you, senior? But it was Norman who put his arms around Kenneth's neck and said enthusiastically.

"Senior Norman, I, I'm almost out of breath......" Kenneth has deeply experienced Norman's enthusiasm in the past two days, and has been vigilant, but he didn't expect to be overtaken for a while, or he succeeded.

"Really, can you change this habit? Didn't you see that the junior's face was about to turn blue? Luckily, Tucci intervened in time to grab Norman by the collar and pull him over.

Norman laughed and said, "Doesn't it look like Kenneth can't bear it anymore?" Don't worry, there's your chance to perform! ”

As for Schut, William, and Rickon, they watched the situation in the stadium carefully. The Grail Sacrifice is divided into five groups, and the first group is currently underway, and although they will not meet in the group stage, it may not be possible to draw some inspiration from their tactics.

At this moment, a black-haired man wearing a black and red ** law robe walked towards everyone, walked to Claire's side as if he was an outsider at all, and greeted him with a smile: "Claire, I finally didn't meet it in the first round this time, otherwise I would be very embarrassed!" ”

Hearing this, Claire turned his head, looked at Vincent, who was uninvited, and snorted coldly: "It was hard to be in the top ten last year, and it is indeed a difficult thing for you, the student president, to fall out this year. ”

Vincent smiled absently: "Your mouth is still as unforgiving as ever, I thought you were shaking with nervousness now." ”

Vincent turned his head, looked at Kenneth, stretched out his hand and greeted warmly, "Yo, little brother Kenneth, you are also a member of the official team?" I'm sorry, how about it, are you interested in changing schools now? ”

Vincent's unabashedly poaching behavior, the members of Lutheran College looked sideways, but Vincent, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, didn't care at all.

Kenneth forced a smile and said, "Senior Vincent, you really like to joke......"

"No, no, no," Vincent shook his middle finger, "I'm serious, if you want to, you can come to me at any time~"

"What the hell are you here for?" Claire couldn't help but speak.

Vincent spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "It's just to say hello, after all, they are all students of Derrickley." Also, by the way, I would like to remind you that you will not be embarrassed like last time. ”

"Hmph, it's better to worry about yourself," Claire said coldly, "If you're still competitive, you should be able to meet us in the group final." ”

The corners of Vincent's mouth curled: "Waiting for you." After saying that, while doing warm-up exercises, he walked to the waiting area of the lower players.

In the third match, Holman College faced Brantel College from the Andvard region, and defeated the opponent by a narrow margin of 4 to 2 and successfully advanced to the top 10.

————————

"It's finally our turn!" Kenneth, who was standing in the waiting area on the south side, said excitedly.

"Calm down." Claire glared at Kenneth and said to everyone, "This next game is related to the prestige of our academy in the entire empire, so there is absolutely no room for failure, is it clear?" ”

"Clear!" The other five nodded in response, with Schutt and Tucci still having calm faces, Norman and Kenneth smiling energetically, Rickon just smiling as gracefully as ever, and William not playing at Clal's decision.

Claire looked at the guards in front of the door who gave the entrance instructions, shook the mage robes on his body and said, "Let's go." ”

The crowd followed behind Claire and walked out of the waiting area to the center of the arena to the applause of the audience.

Claire and the captain of the Leiden Academy of Magic walked to the high platform and stood still, the two teams lined up facing the high platform, and then saluted the emperor before waiting for the referee sent by the Wizards Guild under the high platform to give instructions.

"Next up is the Lutheran School of Magic in Derrickley, against the Leyton School of Magic in the Orseway Region. Please ask the captains of both sides to lead the players into the rest area, leaving the first ring player on both sides. ”

Then all the students at Luther School of Magic and Wizardry saw Kenneth on the field, and after being surprised, they all made disapproving arguments, believing that it was not safe to hand the first game to Kenneth, who was in his first year.

As for Mick and the others in Phil Tower, they were full of confidence in Kenneth and cheered loudly for Kenneth.

However, Kenneth standing in the arena at this time was a little difficult, because standing in front of him was a petite and cute-looking female magician.

The referee walked up to the two of them, and after confirming their identities, he gave the order: "Please keep a distance of ten meters between the two sides." ”

Unlike the selection battles in the academy, the rules of the Holy Grail Festival are much simpler because the venue cannot be changed and for better viewing purposes, as long as you leave the venue or lose the ability to continue playing, you are considered lost.

Kenneth scratched his head and stepped back, following the referee's instructions, to distance himself 10 meters from the woman named Sophie Parr opposite.

Everyone who can stand on this stage is the pride of the sky, and Sophie is the same, although she is always teased for being less than 160 cm tall, she is also a third-order magician who has reached the age of seventeen. When she saw the embarrassed look on Kenneth's face, she thought Kenneth was afraid, and she couldn't help but laugh at the tall Kenneth.

The referee standing in the center slowly raised the black and white bicolor flag symbolizing the truth in his hand and announced loudly: "The game is on!" ”

And just as Sophie raised her staff and began to cast her magic, Kenneth appeared behind Sophie.

"I'm sorry!" Based on the experience of fighting with Norman and William two days ago, Kenneth carefully controlled the strength of his subordinates, and slashed Sophie's slender neck with one hand.

Poor and defenseless Sophie only felt a pain in her neck and lost consciousness, and after a sigh, her body collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Kenneth was still a gentleman, and hurriedly held Sophie's waist to prevent her from falling to the ground and hurting again, but the stiff neck was probably inevitable.

The audience, including Emperor Rhaegar and the others, all looked shocked, and only the students of Luther's School of Magic watched calmly as Kenneth once again unleashed his terrifying speed.

The referee was stunned for a long time before entering the venue to check Sophie's physical condition, and only after confirming that Sophie could not continue the game did he announce Kenneth's victory.

Although the tournament of the Holy Grail Rite does not have an auto-triggered teleportation magic like the Academy's training grounds, each of the surrounding Templars is a top-notch healing mage who can heal any non-fatal wound in time. And if it is judged to be a fatal attack, they will also block it, in order to avoid the loss of the Empire's outstanding talents.

When the referee announced the result, the audience immediately erupted, and Kenneth undoubtedly became the focus of the audience.

Claire and the others, who were sitting in the lounge, also smiled, Kenneth's ability to be a gold-level adventurer could indeed have a surprising effect, especially in the first game.

So Luther School of Magic took the lead with one point.

It's just that this is the highest stage among the young talents of the empire after all, and Kenneth can succeed once with a surprise attack, but it is impossible to succeed a second time.

Kenneth faced a brown-haired man named Johnny Depp next, but his skinny appearance made Kenneth embarrassed again, he wouldn't directly kill him with this punch, right?

“…… You're a magician, aren't you? Johnny looked at Kenneth and whispered.

Kenneth blinked, and said uncertainly, "Of course! ”

But Johnny's gray eyes were fixed on Kenneth, and he shook his head, "No, you don't have the pride of being a magician. ”

Kenneth was about to retort, but the referee had already walked between the two and said loudly: "Please keep a distance of ten meters." Also, please don't whisper during the game. ”

The two nodded, and walked in both directions, and Kenneth was still haunted by Johnny's words.

"What...... I'm also a magician, okay? Kenneth muttered.

The two stood still, each taking out each other's staffs.

Kenneth's staff is called "Ming Yan", the main stem is silvery-white, and the top is inlaid with a ruby, and the special effect is that it can provide a power bonus of five percent for fire magic below the third order.

And Kenneth's robe can also provide Kenneth with immunity to first-order magic in the water system, if you look closely, Kenneth also has a sun pendant around his neck, a magic circle attached to the black leather gloves on his hands, leather boots under his feet, and even a belt are magic props.

"Since you say so, then I will defeat you in the way of a magician!" Kenneth stared at Johnny in the distance.

The flag in the referee's hand was raised again, announcing the start of the second ring match.
