Chapter 40: Rickon, the Genius

Looking at the two fireballs that were speeding towards him and there was nowhere to hide, the wand in Rickon's hand suddenly changed to a magic staff, all of which was cyan and covered with vein-like tree textures, and the top of the staff was also inlaid with an ice-blue gem, just from the appearance of it, it was extremely extraordinary.

I saw the gem at the top of it flash, and a magic circle immediately appeared in it, and then, a huge wall of water ten meters high poured out from the ground, easily blocking Mick's two fireballs and continuing to pour towards Mick.

The third-order water magic, "Water Wall Magic", can create a wall of water of five to ten meters within a radius of three to five meters, and can be controlled by the caster to move in one direction to the cast range.

And the scary thing is that all this happened in only three seconds.

Mick's face turned pale, and he had no time to respond, only to watch as the wall of water flooded the earthen wall in front of Rickon like a devastating one, and then poured on him.

The next moment, the earth pillar under Mick's feet was also immediately destroyed by the water wall, and Mick, who was in mid-air, recalled a first-order magic of the wind system in a hurry, so he immediately put the tip of the wand in his right hand downward, and a green first-order magic array emerged, and a large number of wind elements poured into the magic array, forming a wind shield under Mick's body, so that he got a certain cushion before landing, but the impact of the landing still made Mick's chest feel stuffy for a while.

The wall of water was no longer under Rickon's control when it reached the cast range, and a huge stream of water fell from the sky, completely drenching Mick lying on the ground, causing Mick to feel pain all over his body, and almost out of breath.

"Ahem, ahem." Mick, who had a lot of water in his mouth and nose, looked at Rickon as he walked out from behind the dumped earthen wall, and his face turned blue and white.

Just a powerful third-order magic, he broke all his plans, and this overwhelming frustration made Mick clench his teeth and couldn't say a word.

"Do you have any other preparations?" Rickon stood two meters away from Mick and said calmly, with no smug on his face.

Mick's lips were pale, and there was an unwilling look on his face.

Seeing this, Rickon slowly approached Mick and said, "Then are you admitting defeat?" ”

A gleam flashed in Mick's eyes, and it only took two seconds for the Wind of Imprisonment, which he had practiced thousands of times, to cast it, only to see that the vine-like wind quickly hit Rickon and immediately enveloped him.

————————

"It's done!" Kenneth in the stands saw this, slapped his thigh and shouted.

The three people on the stage were also shocked when they saw the competition just now, and even Hiss, who thought that Rickon was sure to win, became nervous when Rickon was trapped in the dirt wall by Mick. And Kenneth and Brandon's mood was also like a roller coaster, thinking that Mick was about to win, but a third-order magic appeared in the next moment, completely reversing the situation, and now seeing that Mick's sneak attack was successful, Kenneth naturally applauded loudly.

"You are embarrassed to use such a despicable method?" Hiss on the side accused angrily.

"Hmph, how can we be that Rickon despicable when it comes to despicability? Even such a disgusting thing as spreading rumors, dare to call us despicable? Brandon nodded disdainfully towards Heath.

"You guys!" Heath was about to fight back, but a loud bang came from the arena, drawing the attention of the three people on the stage back to the field.

I saw that Rickon, who was supposed to be trapped by the Imprisoned Wind, had broken free from the Imprisoned Wind, and Mick, who was supposed to take the opportunity to knock Rickon down, was knocked out by an explosion that was generated for some unknown reason, and then a flash of green light flashed, and Mick was already teleported to the infirmary.

"What? What the hell is going on?! Kenneth shouted, "What the hell did you kid do?!" Isn't it a cheat?! ”

And the only response to Mick was the light female voice at the beginning: "The competition is over, do you need to continue the competition?" ”

Rickon put away the staff in his hand and said softly, "No need, please send me to the infirmary, and the rest of the people can be sent back to a distance." ”

"Okay." As soon as the words fell, a green fifth-order magic array suddenly appeared under the feet of the three people in the audience, which immediately sucked the three of them into it and sent them to the door of the room where they came. Rickon, however, did not appear with them at the door, but instead went to the college's medical office.

The medical office in each student section of Lutheran School of Magic is located in the Student Activity Hall, staffed by magicians who specialize in water healing magic. After all, although there are only four major types of magic, the types of magic are almost endless, and no magician has ever been able to learn all the magic, and no one even knows how many kinds of magic exist in this world. Although the exact number of magic spells can be calculated based on the permutations and combinations of magic runes, some of them are invalid spells and cannot be written into the magic circle. Therefore, there are mages who specialize in a certain department or a certain type of magic, and this kind of healing mage is one of them.

When Rickon found Mick through inquiry, he had already received his healing spell and sat silently on his hospital bed.

Rickon walked over to Mick and whispered, "Hi." ”

Mick glanced at Ricken and replied simply, "Hi." ”

"How's it hurting?" Rickon asked, a little embarrassed.

Mick was silent for a moment, then looked up at Ricken and asked with a look of reluctance on his face, "What was the last magic you used?" Why did such an explosion occur? ”

Ricken smiled and said, "It's 'small space creation.'" ”

"Then why did such an explosion form that could directly injure me?" Mick clenched his fists, puzzled.

Rickon patiently explained, "You should know the size of the space created by the creation of small spaces, right?" ”

Mick nodded.

"And do you think anything will happen when I take the Imprisoned Wind you cast into this space?"

Mick pondered for a moment and sighed in frustration, "Space collapses...... No wonder explosions can be fatal...... But why can the wind of confinement be included in the space? ”

Ricken nodded his head and said, "Don't underestimate the role of spiritual power, spiritual power can perceive, touch, and stick to objects, and the reason why people can be affinity with the elements lies in people's spiritual power." I have a very high affinity with both the air and water elements, and I am able to communicate the space I create with the imprisoned wind that you create. Next time you fight me, don't be so careless. ”

"Then why are you okay?"

"Just a little bit of control of the direction of the explosion."

"Should I say that he is worthy of being a 'genius'...... Did you calculate it all in advance? Mick finally asked.

Rickon honestly shook his head, "Of course not, I was really surprised when you cast it with both hands. Originally, I just wanted to defeat you with the same wand as you, but I didn't expect to use my 'Ice Phoenix'. Mick, you've improved a lot over the years. ”

"But it still can't beat you, can it?" Mick smiled wryly.

Rickon nodded, showing a look of pity, "That's right, but our gap is not just talent, you should know." ”

Mick didn't speak, just clenched his teeth unwillingly by the stinging in Rickon's eyes.

"I won this competition, but in the end, I didn't win. Well, how about we make another bet on the orc's goings? Rickon suggested with a playful smile.

If Rickon hadn't brought it up, Mick would have forgotten the purpose of their contest and asked, "What are you betting on?" ”

Rickon pinched his chin and said, "There will be a sports day in the academy before the winter break, probably in late April, and this year's theme seems to be a football game in the dormitory, so how about betting on this?" If you win, I don't mind helping you solve that orc's problem. ”

Mick nodded and said, "Then it's decided." I'm tired and want to rest for a while. ”

Rickon saw that the tiredness on Mick's face didn't seem to be fake, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I hope you can surprise me a little~"

After saying that, Rickon walked out of the infirmary, and Junxiu's face flashed with excitement and muttered, "Finally found a fun toy......"

And Mick, who was lying down, was full of frustration, there was no trace of brilliance in his blue eyes, and a little crystal couldn't help but roll down his eyes, and then he couldn't cry.

"I'm sorry, father...... Sorry ......"

————————

By the time Kenneth and Brandon found the infirmary, Mick had reverted to his old self, bowed his head and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I lost." ”

Kenneth saw Mick's apologetic look, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, we've all seen it, Mick, you've worked hard, it's just that Rickon is too strong." ”

Kenneth's unintentional words pierced Mick's heart like a spike, almost piercing Mick's disguise at this time.

Brandon hurriedly chimed in, "Yes, Mick, Kenny's words are right, who would have thought that there would be such a monster in this academy?" A thirteen-year-old third-order magician, if Mick spreads the word, he will definitely make the top three magic academies in the empire steal his head! ”

Mick pulled out a smile with difficulty and said, "Yes, yes...... By the way, that, we don't have any other chances about Naruto. ”

When Kenneth and Brandon heard Mick say this, their attention was immediately drawn and they hurriedly asked, "What chance?" ”

"Rickon said he was willing to make another bet with us that he would help us solve Ming's problem if we could beat them at the soccer tournament in late April."

When the two of them heard this, they excitedly let out a call, and were immediately glared at by the middle-aged aunt in the infirmary, so they quickly closed their mouths.

"But what's this soccer game?" But Brandon was puzzled.

Kenneth was stunned and asked, "Bran, you haven't even played football?" ”

So the two of them saw Brandon shake his head in confusion.

Kenneth knew about Brandon's past, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'll tell you when I get back." ”

But Mick frowned and said, "I don't think it's that simple......"

"It's not easy, we must win this time anyway!" Kenneth grinned.

And Mick saw Kenneth smile so confidently, but he didn't have the peace of mind he used to have.

Kenneth then heard Mick whisper to himself, "Kenny, I'm going to learn magic from Professor Duncan during this time, and I probably won't be able to participate in this soccer game." ”

Kenneth looked at Mick, who was lying with his back to him, and was stunned, "Why?" ”

"Nothing, it just has to be this way." Mick's muffled voice reached Kenneth's ears.

"What do you mean by 'it has to be this way'? Mick, you ......" Kenneth wanted to say something but was stopped by Brandon, only to see Brandon shake his head at himself, so he thought about it and said, "Mick, if you encounter any problems, you must tell me, I will definitely help you solve it!" You should take care of your injuries first, and Brandon and I will go back first. ”

After saying that, Kenneth left with Brandon, leaving Mick alone on the bed, with his left hand on the Ring of Darkness, his eyes full of firm determination: he must become stronger until he defeats that genius and takes back everything that originally belonged to his father!
