By the time Kenneth and his party returned to the Phil House after lunch, it was already early afternoon, but Mick was still not in the villa.

This morning's training was basically spent in teaching Brandon and the twin sisters the basic rules of football, and Kevin also said that he didn't know much about football, so in the whole villa, the only people who could really be regarded as fighting were Kenneth and Alston.

Faced with such a predicament, almost everyone except Kenneth came up with the idea of giving up.

Kenneth sat in the first seat of the living room, looking at the listless crowd, he only felt depressed in his heart, and couldn't help but get up and say, "What's wrong with everyone?" Get some energy! ”

"But, Kenny, we're missing two people now, we don't have any particularly good magicians, and half of the six of us don't know how to play, so how can we beat Rickon's team?" Brandon asked helplessly, propping his chin on one hand.

Others looked at Kenneth with the same skeptical gaze.

Kenneth was speechless for a moment, indeed, what Brandon said was true, they were facing no ordinary predicament, and if this continued, they would definitely lose.

Using his brain has never been Kenneth's strong point, he has always relied on intuition to make decisions, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone present, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he said solemnly: "It's not that we don't have no way to win!" ”

Everyone's eyes flashed with doubt, and Mona asked Kenneth with a look of "are you kidding?" ”

Kenneth nodded, and confidently said to the group, "I have an idea......

When Kenneth told everyone what he thought, the expressions on everyone's faces became strange, Brandon pouted his teeth, the twin sisters tilted their heads, and Kevin wrote in the air with his wand, "Isn't that a violation?" ”

Auston came back to his senses from his surprise and shook his head, "It's not against the rules, after all, it's not even forbidden to use magic in the game, but is it really okay?" At the end of the day, Auston looked at Kenneth with a look of hesitation in his eyes.

Kenneth grinned, pressed his big hand on Auston's shoulder, his obsidian-like eyes glowed like stars, and a faint red light flashed under his eyes: "Don't worry, it will work." ”

After speaking, Kenneth's gaze swept over everyone, and met everyone's eyes one after another, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was reassuring: "Please believe me." ”

For some reason, after seeing Kenneth's firm eyes and the confident smile on the corner of his mouth, everyone present felt an inexplicable sense of relief, as if they could entrust everything to Kenneth, they glanced at each other, and they all saw something called "confidence" in each other's eyes.

"Then it's up to you, Kenneth!" Mona said with a playful smile.

"Kenneth, handsome." Lisa said with a thumbs up.

"Kenny, I didn't expect you to be very imposing when you got serious~" Brandon teased with a smile.

Kevin sat quietly on the side.

Maybe that's what it takes to be a leader? Auston, who felt the burning of Kenneth's palm, thought silently, but he was also relieved, and he also unconsciously felt a trace of awe, which seemed to be instinctively afraid that Auston had a trace of doubt in his heart.

Kenneth withdrew his hand, he could feel the sound of his heart beating violently, his thoughts became clearer, and he said to Auston: "Auston, although this battle is very worth trying, the senior still hopes that you can ask about it." If we can have the help of our seniors, then we will be more sure. ”

Auston was stunned for a moment, then pointed to himself and asked, "Why me?" ”

But Brandon responded: "You're the only one who has dealt with seniors in this dormitory, right?" We haven't even met our seniors in person. ”

The others nodded their heads, and Auston agreed, "Then I'll try to talk to him." But don't get your hopes up, after all, he seems to have been doing some kind of research for the school, even at the cost of delaying graduation. ”

Kenneth was surprised: "Senior is so powerful? Doesn't look like it? ”

"People can't be good-looking, no matter what the senior says, he is also a fourth-order magician, don't look down on him so much......" Auston couldn't help but defend him when he saw that everyone was surprised.

Kenneth thought that the senior must be a waste wood as a repeater, but he didn't expect to have such an inside story, and continued: "Anyway, this matter will be left to you, and the rest of us will work hard to prepare for the war." ”

Everyone nodded, and Auston looked at Kenneth and said, "Kenneth, you seem to have an important thing to do, right?" ”

Kenneth was stunned for a moment, then suddenly, looked at everyone and gritted his teeth and nodded, "I will definitely bring that guy back!" ”

——————

Calvin's basement.

Calvin looked at Mick, who had been copying five second-order magic arrays for five hours, and nodded with satisfaction.

A true genius is never a person who only has talent, but also must have a heart that can "settle down", so that his efforts will be turned into the result of a hundred times the efforts of ordinary people, and completely let ordinary people look up to them for life.

And in Calvin's eyes, Mick is undoubtedly that kind of genius.

The reason why Calvin asked Mick to copy the magic circle was to let him understand the composition of the magic circle. Although Mick had learned the framework composition of the first-order magic array in the basic magic class, from the first-order to the second-order magic array, the change was huge, not only the magic runes that constituted the magic form increased a lot at once, but even the framework of the magic array had changed dramatically, that is, a square was added in the middle of the two circles.

Calvin walked up to Mick and asked softly, "Anything to catch?" ”

Mick put down his pen after writing the technique between the two circles, exhaled softly, looked at Calvin and nodded, "I seem to understand the meaning of the 'transformation' and 'addition' of the squares in the magic circle. ”

"Tell me about it." Calvin walked the path of inducement. Although Calvin is always careless and drops the chain, he is undoubtedly a good magician, and he is also an excellent teacher, and he is more than willing to see students discover the answers themselves, believing that this process will give students more insight.

"Teach me the five magic you asked me to copy, which are 'Small Space Creation', 'Healing', 'Fire Wall Technique', 'Small Spiritual Enhancement', and 'Fireball Technique'. Among them, three second-order magics correspond to the additional attributes of the three elements. 'Small Space Creation' corresponds to the spatial attributes of the Wind Element, 'Healing' corresponds to the healing properties of the Water Element, and 'Small Enhancement Spirit' corresponds to the spiritual attributes of the Earth Element. I think the meaning of this square is to strip the elements in the first circle, extract additional attributes, and then form magic according to the second layer of magic. ”

Calvin nodded noncommittally, "There are many things you say that are good, but you are not aware of the additional attributes of fire magic?" ”

Mick frowned, carefully thinking about the effects of the "Fire Wall Technique" and the "Fireball Technique", but still shook his head and said, "Please ask the professor to solve the students' doubts." ”

Calvin touched his beard under his chin rather complacently, and said to Mick: "The additional attribute of the fire element is destruction, or rather, devouring. ”

"Destroy, devour?" Mick said thoughtfully.

"The fire element mostly exists in the world in an elemental state, and the reason for this is the instability caused by the destructive nature of the fire element. According to the latest elemental studies, the proportion of fire in the air is generally between 0.05% and 0.1%, and once the temperature starts to rise, the proportion of fire in the air will slowly rise. According to analysis, its rising speed is closely related to temperature, humidity and other reasons, and when the proportion of the fire element in the air exceeds 0.1 percent, it will accelerate the devouring of other elements, making the temperature rise further, so that under the vicious circle, it will lead to terrible fires. However, if the proportion of water in the air is more than 80% at this time, it will cause rain. ”

"......I see," Mick nodded slowly, "No wonder the power of the Fireball Technique is so much greater than that of the Small Fireball Technique, it turns out that it increases the destruction attribute?" ”

Calvin nodded, "Exactly." Also, when you were analyzing the square frame, there were some deviations in your understanding. That is the real magic form of the second-order magic array, which actually includes both the magic spell written in the first circle, that is, the basic spell, and the spell between the two circles, but the latter is a supplement to it, and together they form a magic spell. For example, in this 'wall of fire', the first circle means 'a burning flame rises from the ground', and the technique between the two circles means 'devouring all life that passes through here', and only when the two are combined is a complete magic spell, that is, 'a burning flame rises from the ground and devours all life that passes through it'. The same is true of other magic. ”

Mick nodded in realization, feeling a sudden brightness in front of him.

"There is a certain pattern between the permutations and combinations of each magic form, and when you are exposed to more magic, you will gradually feel it, and it will become relatively easy to remember it when the time comes." Calvin took the magic array specially selected for Mick from the table, it was about a meter high, and then said to Mick, "Here are a thousand magic arrays of second-order magic, Mick, try to memorize them all in two months, this will not only help you get familiar with the weaving rules of magic as soon as possible, but also help you quickly improve your strength as a magician." That's the first topic I'm going to give you. Do you think you can do it? ”

Mick swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then turned his head to look directly at Calvin, then nodded heavily in his expectant gaze.

"Good." Calvin said with a satisfied smile.
