Chapter 69: Coming out on top
Earl Brooke didn't seem to come to watch the game today, and the headmaster hadn't come yet, Maddie looked around and walked behind Clal, boldly stretched out his arms around Clal's neck, and rested his chin on Clal's broad shoulders, obviously feeling Clal's body tense.
"Maddie ......" Clare's voice became a little hoarse.
"What, jealous?" Maddie breathed lightly and said mischievously.
And Claire, who smelled the aroma of coffee in Maddy's mouth, frowned slightly, and did not look back: "Can you let go?" ”
Maddie put it away when she saw it, withdrew her hands and propped them on the back of the chair and said excitedly: "This time it's two more seconds!" ”
Claire exhaled and fell silent.
"Does Earl Brooke have any intention of going back?" Claire adjusted her mood and asked Maddie.
Maddie chuckled and said with a mocking expression on her face, "How is that possible?" That old pervert seems to have taken a fancy to a female student at the academy lately, and is passionately pursuing her! ”
Claire also had a look of annoyance on her face. Earl Brooke is one of the top 10 counts in the Derrickly region, and is not unimportant to the funding of the Luther School of Magic. But his style of life is really unbearable for Claire, especially in his private life, almost to the point of having no daughters, lingering every night in the famous Fengyue place in Luther City, and the huge bill still needs the college to pay for him, which makes Clal very annoyed. At this time, hearing that he was actually entangled with a girl in the academy made Claire's heart choke even more.
However, he couldn't express his displeasure to his face, unless he wanted the academy to lose the huge amount of 100,000 gold coins a year.
Claire exhaled a cloudy breath, the student council president looked imposing, but he still had to grovel to those nobles, no matter how much he hated them. That's the power of money and status.
This is something that Claire has known well since she was a child.
"I'll knock him on the side to remind him to pay attention, and you can also go and calm the girl's emotions. Please. Claire said helplessly.
Maddie bent down to look at Claire, her long hair slipped to the side, and saw Claire's brow tightened, so she stretched out her finger and pointed at Claire's eyebrows, rubbing his brow away and teasing, "If you wrinkle any longer, you will get older." ”
Claire was stunned and raised her eyebrows into a slight smile, while Maddie smiled playfully.
Alva, who had just opened the door and walked into the room, saw this scene and immediately felt as if he had come at a bad time.
—————
And the game on the football field has already begun.
Franconia used the most common "two-three-two" formation, with captain Peter and another number five being the vanguard of the Franconian team, players four, six and seven being the center forwards of the Franconian team, Nigels being placed in the middle position, and players three and nine being their defenders.
On the other hand, because of the lack of one person, the Phil team adopts a "one-two-three" formation. Kenneth, the captain of the tenth, was at the front; No. 6 Brandon and No. 9 Auston stood in midfield, slightly closer to Kenneth; The three defenders, No. 3 Mona, No. 4 Lisa and No. 2 Jasmine, stood in three positions very close to the goal; Kevin, wearing the No. 1 jersey, was in goal.
With the referee's whistle, the game between the two teams officially began!
First of all, the captain of the Franconian team, Peter, kicked off, only to see Peter and the number five striker exchange a look, and then pass the ball to Nigels, who was standing in the middle.
The wind sounded on the field.
At this point, the distance between Peter and Nigelus was about five meters, and Kenneth was already a meter in front of Nigles before Nigles received the ball and intercepted the ball directly.
Looking at the formation of the Franconian team from a bird's-eye perspective, it is not difficult to find that the position of the seven of them has obviously been practiced in advance, and it is clearly a regular hexagon, at this time Kenneth's position is exactly surrounded by two forwards and two center forwards in the middle and right, or in other words, as long as Kenneth rushes into Franken's team, he will inevitably be surrounded by four people.
So before Kenneth could react, the four members of the Franconian team had already taken out their wands that had been prepared, and the wands in the hands of Peter and Negles appeared in the first-order magic array of the water system, while the top of the wands of the fifth forward and the fourth center appeared in the first-order magic array of the earth system.
"Not good!" Auston and Kenneth, who was in the midst of the siege, whispered, and then two blue and yellow lights flashed, and Kenneth only had time to take a step back, and his feet were entangled in a vine of the Earth Binding Technique, and then the upper half of his body was frozen by the Freezing Technique and could not move.
It was then that Alston realized that Kenneth's athletic prowess also had a drawback, which was that it was easy to put him in an isolated situation, preventing them from supporting him as soon as possible. In fact, this point had actually been exposed in the previous game against Anna's team, but it was covered up by Kenneth's strength, but at this time, when encountering the Franconian team, who had obviously thought of countermeasures in advance, this weakness was immediately magnified.
"You're really the same as the captain said......" Kenneth heard a lazy voice ring, "this speed, it's not magic, is it?" Kenneth then saw Nigles slowly run to Kenneth, easily snatch the ball at his feet, and kick it at captain Peter, and attack the Philes. At the same time, two of the Franconian centre-forwards followed suit.
However, Kenneth's basic resistance to first-order magic was as high as 90%, so his body shook violently, shattering the ice cubes on his body, pulling his feet hard, and the vines that wrapped around his feet also broke.
"Wow~ It's amazing, can you still use this brute force to break the magic effect? No wonder the captain wants me to guard you......" But the listless voice sounded in Kenneth's ears again, and it turned out that Negles was still standing beside Kenneth. As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of blue light flashed again with the wand in his hand, and a blue circle of light immediately appeared under Kenneth's feet, and then his whole body was covered in ice, and only his head could still turn.
This magic is obviously much more powerful than the previous cryomy, it turned out that Negles cast the first second-order water magic "Freezing Technique" in this game, a single enemy magic, can freeze an enemy within two to five meters of his own body, unless the external force breaks it, the freezing effect will not be eliminated.
Kenneth finally saw the power of the fish bubble in front of him, and Kenneth only felt that he couldn't move his whole body, and it was difficult to break free from this magic in a short time.
In the time Kenneth was under the control of the freezer, the first five players of the Franconian team had already stormed the field of the Phil team, and they still remained roughly in their original formation, with non-stop passing making it difficult for Alston and Brandon to steal.
"Stupid, hurry up over there and get the captain out! Without him, there is no way to hold off their attack! Seeing this, Alston immediately shouted at Brandon, and he cast his magic to speed up his movements, trying to catch up with Francon's pass.
"I'll settle accounts with you later!" Brandon saw that Auston directly replaced his name with "stupid", and immediately became angry, but the urgency of the situation could not control this, and a layer of green light appeared on Brandon's body, and he galloped towards Kenneth.
It's just that when Brandon rushed to the vicinity of Negles, he saw that the magic wand in Negles's hand, who had already noticed Brandon's movements, resurfaced an identical second-order magic array of the water system, and actually used the freezing technique again to turn Brandon into an ice sculpture.
Nigelus, who had cast a second-order spell again, did not show any fatigue, looked left and right at the two ice sculptures beside him, and then yawned boredly.
"Bran, what are you doing here?" Kenneth said in a hurry, since Kenneth's body temperature has always been maintained at forty degrees, the ice around his body has been slowly melting, and he will be able to break free immediately.
"Of course I'm here to save you!" Brandon couldn't help but shiver because of the low temperature of the ice around him, and said in the same hurry.
Kenneth couldn't laugh or cry, but by this time he could already feel that his right hand could move, and just as Kenneth was about to break free of the ice on his body, he saw a flash of blue light on his body, and the ice that had been somewhat melted froze again, making Kenneth unable to move.
"Looks like you're more exaggerated than you say...... I can't even control you with the Freezing Technique...... What a trouble...... "It turned out that Negluth cast a magic freeze spell that thickened the ice on Kenneth's body.
Seeing this, Kenneth stretched his neck hard, but it was to no avail, even if he was as strong as Kenneth, once his whole body was frozen and he couldn't exert his strength, he was naturally helpless.
The two Franconian defenders saw that Negles had completely controlled Kenneth, so they immediately ran to the front half to support.
On the other side of the field of the Phil team, the three female defenders standing in front of the goal saw that Auston was completely unable to stop the Franconian team, so they decisively raised their wands to cast the magic earth wall technique together according to the pre-game tactical arrangement, so they saw a twenty-four meters wide and two meters high earthen wall quickly rising from the ground, blocking the outside of the Phil team's penalty area.
There are also certain rules for where the earthen wall spell can be cast, and there are certain rules for the magic soccer game. At one point, a team used a dirt wall to completely block their goal to prevent the opponent from scoring, but this was later considered a foul, and it was later made clear that any defensive magic could only be cast outside the penalty area and could not last more than five minutes.
The earthen wall that clings to the line of the penalty area and stands in the middle of the pitch did cause a lot of problems for the Franconians, forcing them to change their original formation and attack the penalty area from both sides of the earthen wall.
The captain of the Franconian team, Peter, immediately gave his instructions, only to see that after passing the ball to the No. 5 striker, he stretched out two fingers to the center forward farther behind, and then pointed to the forward after a bend, and he cast a magic spell to speed up the movement and entangle Auston.
The two centre-forwards immediately understood and indicated the defenders behind them in the same motion, but in the right direction. The crowd saw Franconia's strikers and two centre-forwards charging around the earthen wall from the left side in a triangular formation towards the Phil penalty area, while the other two defenders sneaked towards the Phil penalty area from the right.
Auston, who was entangled by Peter, regretted that his own earthen wall had blocked communication between him and his teammates, preventing him from giving instructions to Jasmine, and the Franconians were able to use this earthen wall that was supposed to stop their attack to launch a surprise attack in the first place.
Although there was no way to see what was going on behind the earthen wall, the referee's whistle was already clear.
Ten minutes into the game, the Franconians took the lead to a point, and a blue "1" appeared on the crystal pillar on the side of the Franconian team outside the field.
"It's well deserved." Auston turned his back to his crumbling dirt wall and looked at Peter, who had run back into midfield.
