The next day was Saturday, a rare day off, but when Kenneth came to Mick's room to look for him, he found that Mick's bed was neatly folded and the man was gone.

"Strange, he came back last night...... Isn't it only eight o'clock? Where did he go? Kenneth walked out of Mick's room suspiciously, only to run into Brandon, who had just gotten out of bed.

Seeing Kenneth's puzzled face, Brandon asked, "What's wrong, Kenny?" ”

Kenneth frowned and said, "Mick is gone." ”

"How so? I should have gone out for morning exercises, right? By the way, are we going to start football training today? Brandon asked.

When Kenneth and Brandon returned to the villa last night, they told everyone about Mick's loss to Rick and the new bet, so they decided to go to the school's soccer field together this morning for practice.

But I didn't expect Mick, who was the backbone, to disappear.

Kenneth had a faint bad premonition in his heart, but he still nodded in response to Brandon: "That's right, Auston also went to the student union to inquire about the details, saying that he would tell us about it after the episode." ”

Brandon snorted lightly, "That guy's gossip is very well-informed. ”

Kenneth put his hand on Brandon's shoulder and said with a smile, "Isn't this what makes people so powerful?" Why don't you look unconvinced? ”

"Where do you see that I'm not convinced?" Brandon didn't have a good breath, and left Kenneth's hand and went downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Kenneth asked.

"To fill your stomach, of course! You idiot! Brandon exclaimed.

Ten o'clock in the morning. Second grade district. Luther Football Stadium.

Football has a long history as a competitive sport, and before the formation of the Gio Empire, there was a prototype of modern football - "Habastom", in which people standing on opposite sides of the white line kick the ball to each other on the opposite field. After the establishment of the empire, its rules became more and more perfect, and there were several emperors in history who loved this sport, so it became a popular sport throughout the country. Every year, there is an Imperial Academy League, but the Academy of Magic is different from ordinary military officer training schools, the only difference is that students on the football field are allowed to use magic in the Academy of Magic League, and the football game that Kenneth and the others have to face is this form of magical football match.

At this time, the six people in the Phil Building, except for the senior Vader, stood on the side of the 120-meter-long and 90-meter-wide football field, listening carefully to the information obtained by Auston.

"I heard the specific news from a member of the sports department of the student union, and the football match has been basically determined to start on April 25, with the dormitory as a unit and a knockout and promotion system. The number of players is limited to six to eight, but there is no limit to gender, grade, and magic, and the duration of the match is sixty minutes. Alston explained the rules.

"No grade limit? What does that mean? Mona wondered.

Auston explained: "It is said that each grade will be divided into four groups of ABCD to compete, and the final four teams will determine the champion, each with a prize of 300 gold coins and a piece of equipment provided by the Magic Costume Department of the Student Council. ”

"Wow! That's a big bonus! Brandon's eyes lit up.

Kenneth looked at the people around him and said worriedly: "Don't mention the bonus, we seem to have a little small number of people......

The others looked at each other and realized an important problem, as if they were now meeting the minimum number.

Lisa looked at Kenneth and asked, "Mick, where?" ”

Kenneth shook his head and said, "I don't know where he went......"

Then Kenneth saw that everyone else was looking at him in surprise, and raised an eyebrow, "What are you looking at me like this?" ”

Auston looked surprised and said, "Haven't you and Mick been together all the time?" How could he not know where he had gone? ”

Kenneth suddenly felt some anger rise in his heart, and said: "It's his freedom to go where he goes, and he himself said that he won't participate in this competition, what's the use of knowing where he is?" ”

Surprise flashed in the eyes of everyone except Brandon, and Auston said in disbelief: "Mick not participating in this game?!" Did he say it himself?! ”

Kenneth and Brandon both nodded, and Kenneth grinded his teeth and said, "When I heard him say this yesterday, I thought he was depressed because he lost the game, so he said it casually, but I didn't expect him to really not plan to come." ”

"It's tricky...... Alston looked embarrassed.

At this time, Kevin raised his wand and wrote in the air, "Do the contestants have to be from the same dormitory?" ”

Auston shook his head and said: "Although the competition is based on the dormitory, the participants do not need to be members of the same dormitory, but it is strictly forbidden to invite senior students to participate as foreign aid, but the senior is an exception because he is our roommate, but he can compete with us." ”

Mona immediately looked at Auston and asked, "Will the senior come to help us?" ”

Auston shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but I can't even see the shadow of the senior in the past few days, and I can't ask his opinion." ”

Hearing this, Mona lowered her shoulders and said with a small face: "Then we can't even get together, and the most powerful magician has also withdrawn, so how can we win against that Rickon?" Maybe you won't even be able to see people and be eliminated, right? ”

Lisa also mended the knife on the side: "In this way, we will lose." ”

"By the way, you're all first-order magicians, right?" Brandon asked.

Mona, Lisa, Auston, and Kevin all nodded, while Kenneth shook his head silently.

Brandon's eyes widened and asked, "Kenny, you're an exceptional freshman, and you're not even a first-order magician?!" ”

Kenneth nodded with an embarrassed look on his face.

Brandon covered his face and said, "Then how can we win?" You can't even win a game, can you? ”

For a while, almost everyone's hearts were filled with a sense of powerlessness, but Kevin's expression was as calm as ever.

Auston looked at the absent-minded Kenneth and asked, "Kenneth, what are you going to do then?" ”

Kenneth gritted his teeth and said, "I'll definitely persuade Mick to come back." So let's practice first, at least learn some basic skills and coordination, right? ”

Everyone nodded silently, but they looked a little listless.

Mick, where the hell are you now? Kenneth asked silently in his mind.

Calvin's Underground Laboratory.

Calvin looked at the uninvited Mick in front of him with a surprised expression, touched the top of his half-bald head and asked, "Mick, isn't it a day off today?" What are you doing here? ”

I saw that Mick's face was full of seriousness, and he said to Calvin: "Professor, I want to learn magic, and learn as much magic as possible." ”

Although there is a large amount of second-order magic in the Ring of Darkness for Mick to learn, and the third-order barrier in the Ring of Darkness has also been unlocked, which means that Mick can become a third-order magician at any time, he does not have the knowledge of the structure of the magic array and the language organization of the magic style, so he can only memorize the magic array by rote, which is too inefficient, and the difficulty of memorization increases geometrically with the increase of the level of the magic array. This was also the reason why he had only learned two second-order magics until now.

Calvin was a little unsure of the current situation, and asked tentatively, "Haven't I been teaching you magic?" ”

"Not enough, I still need more knowledge, to learn more comprehensive magic." Mick gritted his teeth.

"Oh......" Calvin asked, somewhat understanding, "you want to learn the knowledge of the senior class, don't you?" ”

"However, Mick, you should know that learning magic is a gradual process, and you see, your basic magic class is just about to teach you the simplest techniques of earth walls and freezing...... Calvin only thinks that Mick is eager for quick success, so he intends to gently persuade him.

However, the next moment, Mick took out his wand, and a second-order magic array appeared at the top, and then a wisp of imprisoning wind controlled Calvin.

Calvin looked at Mick in surprise, and said with some emotion: "Second-order magic, the wind of imprisonment, you are already a second-order magician now?" Twelve-year-old second-order magician?! Mick, you're such a genius! ”

However, the corners of Mick's mouth pulled out a wry smile, if a twelve-year-old second-order magician was already a genius, then what was a thirteen-year-old third-order magician?

The tragedy of the so-called genius is to meet another genius and then be eclipsed in front of it.

As the effect of the imprisoned wind was lifted, Calvin threw himself in front of Mick, his eyes full of excitement and said, "Haha, I thought you were good enough, but I didn't expect you to be better than I imagined. That being the case, the foundation course of the first year is indeed no longer suitable for you. Don't worry, Mick, I'll do everything I can to make you more magical. However, this will put a huge mental burden on you, can you afford it? ”

Mick didn't waver in his eyes, and nodded, "Professor, then please." ”

Calvin rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Okay, okay, good, I didn't expect that I would meet a magic genius like you in my lifetime!" I'm sure you'll be a magician who shocks the Empire! ”

Mick nodded, his eyes filled with ambition that was quite incompatible with his appearance.

At the same time, the headmaster's office of the Lutheran School of Magic welcomed a special guest.

Alva, dressed in a black robe, sat behind her desk, brushing her white, shaggy beard and squinting at the visitor.

I saw that the visitor's face was unreal for some reason, wearing a military cap, white gloves on his hands, and a low-key black cloak, under which was the uniform of the imperial unity, but he did not wear military rank on his shoulders or chest, and he stepped on hard-soled military boots, and made a "button" sound on the wooden floor.

The visitor walked up to Alva, put his legs together and took off his hat and saluted: "MI7 subordinates, I have met the principal of the Luther School of Magic, you can call me Nigel." ”

Alva's eyelids jumped when he heard MI7, this is an intelligence agency directly under His Majesty the Emperor, and unclassified matters will never be easily dispatched.

"Is there anything I can do for you? Nigel. Alva didn't get up, but looked directly at Nigel and asked.

"Your Majesty hopes that you will cooperate with me in conducting an investigation of the young magicians of your school." Nigel replied calmly.

"Can I see why?" Alva asked, narrowing his eyes again.

"I'm sorry, but this is an Imperial secret, and you have no right to intervene."

"So what do I need to do?" Alva didn't look disgruntled, and continued to ask.

"Just give me permission to move freely around the Academy."

Alva nodded and said, "Naturally." ”

"Thank you very much for your cooperation. In the next farewell. Nigel gave Alva another meticulous military salute, then put on his military cap and turned to walk out of the principal's office, and the moment he walked out of the office, he disappeared with a flick of his cloak.

Alva looked at the slowly closing door, the look in his eyes obscure.

"What should come, always come......" An old sigh rang out in the principal's office.
