Calvin's Laboratory.

At this time, the match of Team Phil was over, and Mick sat behind the table, still staring intently at the magic array in front of him, motionless, and even slowing down his breathing.

Calvin pushed the door in, and saw that Mick was not bothered by himself, and there was a look of appreciation and admiration in his eyes.

This concentration alone is not something that ordinary twelve-year-olds can do.

Ten minutes later, Mick slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, closed his eyes and tried to conjure up the magic array in front of him, but ultimately failed because he couldn't remember the two magic runes.

Mick opened his eyes, frowned, and sighed.

"Don't be so depressed, what you're going through now is just the path that the sages of the millennia have had to do to become great men." But Calvin leaned against the stone table and comforted Mick.

It's just that at this time, Calvin is not wearing his usual shabby suit, but a sweatshirt, a pair of wide knee-length shorts on the bottom, and a sunhat on his head, but this dress is a little inconsistent with his slightly gloomy appearance, looking like a frustrated middle-aged fan.

Mick looked up, thought for a moment and asked, "Kenneth Did they win?" ”

At the mention of Kenneth's game, Calvin's eyes immediately lit up, and he became excited and said: "Mick, it's a shame that you weren't on the court at the time, your team's game is really exciting!" ”

"Oh, is it? Can you tell me about it? Mick asked with a calm face when he heard Calvin say this.

"No problem, at first......" Calvin saw that Mick seemed interested, so he repeated the match between Team Fil and Team Anna.

I have to say that Calvin's language skills are still very strong, and even Ming, who doesn't understand human language very well, came over and patiently listened to Calvin's retelling.

Mick's attention was naturally focused on Kenneth, and when he heard Kenneth pass directly through the wall of fire, Mick's eyes flashed and his eyebrows raised slightly.

So, with Kenneth and the rest of your roommates working together, they finally won against Team Anna and advanced to the next round. I have to say, I've watched a few football games in this school, I've never seen a player like Kenneth, and he can crush his opponent by relying solely on speed, it seems that our academy may be able to win the first place in this year's magic football league! Calvin spat excitedly.

I can't see that Calvin, who looks like a standard dead house, is still a veteran football fan.

Mick thought about it, but couldn't help but ask, "Professor, don't you wonder why Kenneth was able to pass through the wall of fire?" ”

Calvin looked at Mick with a strange look and said, "With Kenneth's affinity for the fire element, it's not surprising that his resistance to fire magic is very high, right?" It was also the fire mage who was unlucky enough to meet Kenneth. ”

"I see, I didn't expect affinity to be related to magic resistance...... Mick muttered with a nod. Mick originally only had a high affinity for the wind element, but now he has a very high affinity for the earth element, and the affinity of the other two elements has also reached a normal level. This was naturally caused by the marrow that Hephaestus had asked him to drink, which improved Mick's body like a marrow wash. This meant that Mick could learn all four systems of magic and was expected to become a sixth-order magician, which made Calvin, who first learned about it, almost faint with excitement.

After all, there are mages who are proficient in one of the four systems everywhere, and there are countless dual-line mages in human history, even sixth-order mages are not uncommon in history. However, there are only two sixth-order magicians in the entire lineage in human history, one is Abel Osiris, the first speaker of the Hexagram Council, and the other is the genius who once existed like a meteor in the history of magic and then mysteriously disappeared - Ness Dawn.

"When it comes to strange things, Kenneth's speed far beyond that of a human is strange. What kind of magic is used? I've heard that someone has already offered a high price of ten gold coins to get this information, tsk, that's amazing......" Calvin said as he took off his sunhat and casually threw it on the podium, scratching the beard on his chin.

The answer to this question was naturally clear to Mick, and he couldn't help but think with a headache: As long as he was not by his side, would that guy get carried away?

The Dragon Hero is not only meant that Kenneth will be a hero to save humanity, but also a target for other would-be humans. Not to mention that the dragon who signed the pact with him was the fire dragon Hephaestus, the dragon who once fought alongside the hero Theo, and it is not difficult to imagine how the current Emperor Theo would react if he found out about this. Considering the worst-case scenario, Kenneth might not even be able to save his life.

Kenneth's life was at stake, and Mick was momentarily torn: should he go and give him a heads-up?

——————

On the other hand, in front of Kenneth, who was walking on a small road in the second-year district, a man in military uniform suddenly appeared wrapped in a cloak, holding the brim of his hat and saying to Kenneth, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kenneth Lancelot." ”

Kenneth did not go back to the dormitory with the others because both of his jerseys were burned, but went to the logistics department, which was in charge of preparing the jerseys, before returning to the dormitory alone.

Kenneth looked at the mysterious man in front of him, even though he was in front of him, but when Kenneth wanted to take a closer look at his face, the man's face was blurry, and he couldn't see it really, only a pair of slightly transparent gray eyes with an obscure expression.

So Kenneth couldn't help but be vigilant, looked at the man in military uniform suspiciously, and said, "Who are you?" Is there something wrong with me? ”

"There may or may not be," the mysterious man shrugged, then stretched out his white-gloved right hand and whispered, "Excuse me, can you give me access to your psychic powers?" ”

Kenneth's eyes changed, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart, but Kenneth, who was already confident in the strength of his body, did not feel afraid, and took a step back and said, "What do you want to do?!" If you get closer, I'm welcome! ”

The mysterious man's face couldn't see the change in expression, but his voice was still calm: "Please don't resist, although I have permission from Mr. Principal, I don't have permission to hurt people." ”

Kenneth sneered, "I don't even know who you are, so I want to give up resistance?" Are you really a kid who doesn't know anything? ”

"Isn't it?" The mysterious man smiled, and a fifth-order magic array suddenly appeared on the glove, and four gradually enlarged rings were superimposed on the circle in the center, blooming with a burst of brownish-yellow light, Kenneth closed his eyes and slumped to the ground before he could react to what was happening, but his face still retained a stunned expression.

The fifth-order magic of the earth system, "Mental Blocking", can cause all creatures within three meters of the caster's mental power to be weaker than the caster's ability to instantly fall into a coma.

The mysterious man sighed in disappointment when he saw Kenneth pass out so easily, but he cautiously walked up to Kenneth, knelt down on one knee and took off his right glove, and put his index finger on Kenneth's forehead. When he sensed Kenneth's pitiful mental power, he finally overturned his conjecture.

"Isn't it him......" The mysterious man got up, put on his gloves and whispered, "Isn't 'he' in this academy?" ”

The mysterious man unfurled his cloak again, and then disappeared from view.

About a minute after the mysterious man left, the flame dragon ring on Kenneth's fingertips flashed with a glimmer of light, and then Kenneth woke up, looked around and saw no one else, touched his head and said in a daze: "Could it be that I was too tired to hallucinate just now?" ”

Kenneth frowned, trying to remember the man's face just now, but it was only a blur, and he wondered, "Is it possible to see a ghost in this broad daylight?" ”

However, Kenneth, who had always been very arrogant, saw that he had not lost anything, so he left the matter behind him and continued to walk back to the Phil Tower.

——————

Three days later, the second round was over, and the top five of the four groups had been decided.

Because the captain had to draw lots, Kenneth's request for substitutions was ruthlessly rejected by the referee, and there were a total of twenty people standing on the football field facing the rostrum, all of whom were captains of various teams, and unsurprisingly, Kenneth saw two acquaintances in the crowd, one was the student council president Claire, and the other was Kenneth who had to beat Rickon.

Now it was the turn of Group B to draw lots, and Rickon, who was also in Group C, walked towards Kenneth with the same gentlemanly smile on his face: "I didn't expect you to be able to get here without the help of Mick's strength, it seems that Mick is your secret weapon?" ”

"What, you're scared?" Kenneth wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Rickon about Mick's non-competition, so he raised his chin and said this to Rickon.

The smile on Mick's face seemed to deepen a little, and he stretched out a finger and shook it, "No, no, no, how could I be afraid?" Of course, I feel more excited. I wish we could meet in the next game. ”

Kenneth let out a dry chuckle. He didn't want to play with Rickon as soon as possible so that he could solve Naru's problem quickly, but because of this damn "Fire Dragon's Doom", I'm afraid they would have to meet again in the final.

Soon the draw for Group B was over, and Claire still had a serious expression on his face, and Kenneth couldn't see his true mood, so when he passed by Clal on stage, he said to Clal: "President, I hope to compete with you in the final final!" ”

Unexpectedly, Claire just glanced at him, and then ignored Kenneth and walked straight off the podium.

"Haha, I still want to be close to the elder, save you! I don't think you Phil team will even make it to the next round! But a shrill voice sounded from behind Kenneth, and Kenneth turned his head to see a tall, thin boy with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks looking at him with disdain, and the words just now must have come from his mouth.

"What did you say?!" Kenneth said angrily.

"I said, just with your Phil team, as long as you meet our McGee team, you will definitely not be able to enter the next round!" The peculiar-looking young man said, his tone full of pride.

"You!" Kenneth was about to say something, but was interrupted by the referee on the rostrum: "The five captains of Group C, please hurry up and draw lots here." ”

Kenneth glared at the man, and then walked with the other three to a sealed lottery box and stood still.

"There are a total of five balls in this box, two black, two white and one yellow, and the team that draws the same color is their respective opponent in the next round, and the team that draws the yellow ball alone has a bye. Captain Phil, come first. After briefly explaining the rules of the draw, the referee said to Kenneth.

Kenneth nodded, walked over to the draw box and put his hand into it, then took out a ball with a smooth surface, and when he spread his hand, it was a black ball.

Kenneth stepped aside with the black ball and waited for the results of the draw for the others.

I saw that the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked boy looked at Kenneth proudly immediately after drawing lots, his eyes were full of mockery and pride, Kenneth looked at his hand, and it was a black ball.

"Remember my name, Marcus Brenda," Marcus proclaimed, pointing down with his thumb down, his white teeth bared, licking his lower lip, "this is the name of the man who will crush you completely." ”
