After three days of annoyance for Kenneth, the second round of the Holy Grail Trials has officially begun.

In order to save time, the second round of the knockout rounds will be divided into six groups at the same time, with one match per day without any breaks in between, and after three days, the six candidates will be selected to represent the Luther Academy of Magic in the Holy Grail Sacrifice.

And now, the first round of Group B is about to begin, and Kenneth and William have followed the instructions of the Space Spirit to the center of the arena.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a magic robe appeared between the two, and William raised his eyebrows and said, "Professor James, are you a referee?" ”

"Hmm." The man with an exaggerated wine trough nose glanced at William and nodded, then took out a silver coin and said coldly, "Heads and reverses?" ”

Kenneth hurriedly looked at William and said, "Senior, you can choose first." ”

William didn't care either, and said casually: "Positive." ”

After hearing this, Professor James threw the silver coin in his hand upwards and caught it with one hand, and when he opened his palm, he saw that the national emblem of the Xio Empire was shining.

So Professor James looked at William and said, "Venue or distance?" ”

The magic competition of the Holy Grail Festival can be selected from 14 types of venues, including swamps, forests, plains, snow, caves, and arenas, each of which has a different elemental concentration and terrain settings, which can give players a certain advantage in the competition. As for distance, it is also a very important factor in magic warfare, and players can choose between 10 and 60 meters, which can also gain a certain advantage. There are two ways to win, the first is to give the opponent a fatal wound to eliminate him; The second is to take away the opponent's number plate.

William thought for a moment and said to Professor James, "I choose the venue. Forest. ”

The concentration of wind and earth elements in the forest is high, but the water element is relatively small, and the concentration of fire element is pitifully low, and William's choice is undoubtedly aimed at Kenneth's identity as a fire mage.

Kenneth, who could only choose the distance, didn't think too much about it, and said to Professor James: "The distance I chose is ten meters. ”

Professor James nodded, "Just wait for the instructions." After saying that, a fifth-order magic array appeared at Professor James's feet and teleported it out of this space.

William looked at Kenneth with sharp eyes: "Kenneth, the outcome of the last time will be decided by this game." ”

Kenneth grinned, as if he was no longer bothered: "Good to say." However, seniors, if you are out in the first round, will it affect the image of the student union? ”

"But there's always one guy who can qualify." William looked calmly at Kenneth Dao.

Kenneth looked at William, remembered what Mick said to himself, and asked a little hesitantly: "Senior William, you won't ...... You've been learning the style of the president, right? ”

William's pupils dilated slightly, but it was only a blink of an eye that he had returned to normal, and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Kenneth shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "I didn't understand it either, so you just thought I was talking nonsense." ”

William's lips moved, but he chose to remain silent.

A minute later, the familiar female voice sounded: "About to switch to the forest field, please separate the two players to a distance of ten meters." ”

"The countdown begins, so get ready."

The surrounding environment began to slowly become illusory, and a huge and complicated sixth-order magic array appeared at the soles of the two of them's feet.

"Five, four, three, two, one, the game has officially begun."

As soon as the words ended, Kenneth and William were already in a forest, exactly the same environment as the two of them had been in the previous round. Monotonous trees, low groves and rivers flowing in between

At the same time, Mick in Group C also started his competition against a third-year senior.

In order to prevent spectators from outside the stadium from disturbing the game, there was not a single spectator in the space, and those who wanted to watch the game could only watch the game on a special screen in the spacious hall of the Hannah Pavilion training ground.

Although it was already in the revision stage at this time, the people in Phil still put down their studies to watch the match between Mick and Kenneth, and no one cared about Marcas.

After the results of the first round of the competition were released, the popularity of Phil House was also greatly improved, only four people in the first grade advanced, and Fil House occupied three places alone, how could it not surprise the students who were also in the first grade?

"Hey, cook, did you think Kenny could win?" Brandon looked at Kenneth, who had already made the first move on the screen, and stabbed Auston in the waist with his elbow, and asked nervously.

"Stupid, can't you call me by my name?" Auston glared at Bradon and then dropped his gaze on the screen, shook his head, and said, "As for whether Kenneth can win, won't you know if you can watch it?" ”

On the other hand, the girls were watching Mick's competition, and Jasmine looked nervous, holding the pleated skirt in both hands, and muttered, "Will he get hurt......?"

Mona on the side looked at Jasmine's appearance, glanced at Lisa, and then grabbed one of Jasmine's hands and stopped her from sitting down, calming her emotions and saying, "Don't worry, Jasmine, Mick won't get hurt even if she loses." ”

"But the captain was so badly injured not long ago?" Jasmine looked at Mona and said.

Mona opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, so she nodded at Jasmine's forehead and said, "You, you don't know how to confess to Mick when you look like this, what's the use of sitting here and worrying now?" ”

"Jasmine, stupid." Even Lisa said to Jasmine with a disapproving look.

"But he's always not in the dorm, and when he shows up, everyone is together, what can you do with me?" Jasmine twisted the ten fingers of her hands together, frowning and said aggrievedly.

"Wait until he comes back in the evening!" Mona emphasized.

"Uh...... Not well, he's tired......" Jasmine hesitated.

"Jasmine, Jasmine," Mona said, holding Jasmine's shoulders, "confessing this kind of thing, the sooner the better, if it's late, he might run away with another girl!" ”

"Really? But he has no access to other girls besides us and his mentors, so he basically can't get in touch with other girls. Jasmine said with big black and white eyes.

"Uh...... Ah, forget it, you just sit here and worry about it. Mona gave up trying to persuade Jasmine and watched the game on the screen, while Jasmine nervously grabbed Lisa and watched Mick's match.

————————

At the No. 2 training ground where Kenneth and William were, Kenneth took the lead after the change of field, and quickly approached William as soon as his body moved, and the distance of ten meters was only a matter of a second for Kenneth.

William seemed to have anticipated the situation in front of him, and in a flash of his hand, his staff "Black Cat" appeared, the body of the staff was pitch black, reflecting a metallic luster, made of a wood called "Black Iron Tree", and the top of the staff was inlaid with a chrysoberyl called "opal", which appeared in the sunlight with a narrow and bright reflection, like a mysterious cat pupil.

And with the appearance of the staff, an enchantment array on the staff immediately lit up, and Kenneth had just appeared behind William, and a third-order magic array "Primary Spatial Movement" had already appeared under William's feet, disappearing in front of Kenneth, making Kenneth's charged punch miss.

Kenneth twisted his wand around his wrist and clenched it, and immediately used the fire-based second-order magic scorching vision to scan the surroundings, and immediately saw William's figure behind a rock eighteen meters away, and the muscles in his whole body immediately tensed and rushed towards William's place.

And William is only temporarily avoiding the edge, at this time the position of the two of them has no shelter except for the trees and the rocks behind him, not even the bushes, William used his spiritual power to communicate with the black cat in his hand, and cast the second-order magic stone wall technique of the earth system, which happened to block between the two big trees, blocking Kenneth's way, and after that, a third-order magic of the earth system immediately appeared at the top of the staff.

Kenneth didn't hesitate at all, his eyes flashed with his determination to move forward. So the strong biceps on his right arm bulged violently, and he smashed his fist into the stone wall with a thickness of 20 centimeters, and saw that the cracks like cobwebs immediately covered the stone wall, and with Kenneth's clean kick, it immediately collapsed.

And between the dust and debris, ten meters away from Kenneth, a glowing brownish-yellow fourth-order magic array appeared in front of Kenneth again, and Kenneth could vaguely see William's figure.

"Counterattack after defense, senior, isn't this the president's fighting style?" Kenneth said presumptuously, as he spoke, as quicksand appeared under his feet, a fire-based second-order magic array appeared, which was an explosion trap.

"The same trick, don't expect it to work forever!" As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of the explosion sounded at Kenneth's feet, and the impact immediately sent Kenneth five meters into the air and flew towards William, who was standing in the distance.

"It's a beautiful response, but I'm sorry." In front of William stood a clay golem as tall as him, with a weird and chilling stiff smile on his face.

And the moment Kenneth landed, the enchantment circle on William's staff lit up again, casting a magic primary space to move, and disappeared in front of Kenneth again.

The next moment he disappeared, the puppet emitted a glimmer of light, and then created an astonishing explosion.

"Boom!" Listening to the sound of the clay golem exploding, William's heart did not relax, although he increased the size of the clay puppet to increase the power of the explosion, it may not be able to inflict fatal injuries on Kenneth. And Kenneth's words also touched the depths of William's heart.

Maybe Kenneth's brain is not fast enough, but his intuition is always amazingly accurate, all along, William has indeed imitated Claire, whether it is dressing or acting style, even the combat methods and strategies, he also pursues Claire's back, the purpose is to become a man like Claire.

William, who was born in black, has no memory of how many people have been discriminated against because of his skin color, and has been ridiculed as a "" from time to time. Growing up, there were people in the academy who questioned his abilities because of the color of his skin, but that man completely believed in himself, affirmed himself, and entrusted him with important responsibilities without any gossip, making him the current Minister of Discipline William Joyce.

All this led William to consider Krar his god.

So, what does it matter if you imitate your own gods, even if you become a fake?

William's fighting spirit has risen to an unprecedented level.
