32, Duel (2)
The five people on the desert island also saw Adam, and with the exception of Krystel, they were all amazed that Adam was able to walk with his mentor.
Ophelia has been accepted into the laboratory by the alchemy master because of her excellent alchemy qualifications, and the practice of alchemy is accompanied by great pain, and this kind of mage path requires some experiments that challenge the three views, such as devouring the body tissues of various demonic beasts, dissecting the bodies of various creatures to find excellent genes, including humans. She seemed even more aloof, with the occasional deep exhaustion and self-doubt in her eyes, and she hadn't paid attention to her companions for a long time, and naturally she didn't have time to pay attention to Adam.
"What is he?" asked Ophelia, confused.
William was silent, he was a long-sleeved and good dancer, although he was not recognized and accepted by the rest of the people because of his identity now, but he was not as ostracized as others, he probably knew Adam's situation, but he didn't expect Adam to have done it to such an extent.
Quentin was deeply disdainful and jealous, and said in a weird manner: "Heh, I thought he was so arrogant, but I didn't expect it to be like this, I think he relied on grandstanding to get to the mentor's side." β
Kristel swallowed back the explanation, once again disappointed at the stupidity of these 'companions', who had no idea how far they were from the object of their despisΓ©.
Probably because after years of baptism, mage apprentices and mages will only talk to people they think are equal, and Elliot, who is kind and pleasant to Adam, seems cold and unkind to the other apprentices. Elliot and Adam rampaged all the way to another part of the dueling table, where all the veteran apprentices who had survived the Tower War and knew Adam for the most.
After greeting each other, Elliot said, "It's just a rookie duel, are you all here to see them standing and building a magic rune group?"
The senior apprentices couldn't help but imagine that scene, and their interest suddenly faded a lot, and one of them was probably familiar with Eliot, and pointed at him and scolded him: "Not only do you smell so annoying, but you also become so annoying when you speak." β
Someone shook his head and didn't care: "The academy has been too deserted recently, and it's rare to have a lively scene." β
"Yes, there are too many old friends missing, and I don't know how many of these rookies will stay. β
Adam didn't participate in their conversation, he was looking for James in the crowd, unexpectedly, he didn't find it, thinking that James was not in the mood to join in the fun, Adam looked at the hustle and bustle of the crowd below and felt disinterested, "What a waste of time." Then he simply left the dueling arena in silence.
Elliot glanced at Adam and didn't care, turned his head and chatted with the others, he was not optimistic about what Adam was doing now, what James had worked hard for decades and had not done, how could Adam succeed in such a short period of time?
Suddenly, the dueling arena fell silent, Sean and Randy each stepped forward, without any nonsense, the two raised their hands and activated the magic items in their hands, and the two magic quickly formed, collided fiercely in the sky, and then dissipated into nothing at the same time.
The magic items in the apprentice's hand will not be very advanced, although the magic engraved is different, but according to the power index displayed by Master Black, they are all at the same level, and the apprentice's accuracy of magic is tested.
The two of them did a good job in this regard, and two successive magic attacks were accurate in the predetermined location, regardless of victory or defeat.
The senior apprentice was no longer focused on the two of them, because they were so bored that they didn't even change their positions.
Sean smiled and said to Randy, "Hillbilly, how many magic items do you have to use?" Sean was full of confidence, not only had he successfully constructed the second spell, but his companions in the organization had even lent him five magic items, and according to the information he had found, the poor ghosts on the desert island were definitely not so rich.
Randy's face was ugly, he still had one last magic item, which was inscribed with Flight, which was his last life-saving hole card, and he couldn't use it yet.
"Damn!" Randy cursed inwardly, spracing to the side.
Sean was ecstatic, he knew that Randy was no longer good, and at this time, as long as he took advantage of the victory and chased, he could blast this idiot into scum. Sean did not hesitate to activate his remaining three magic items, two fireballs and a wind blade to seal all possible escapes for Randy.
"Die, die!" Sean exudes a morbid ecstasy at the sight of Randy dying at his own hands, and the feeling obsesses him.
Randy stopped at the moment of life and death, and stepped heavily on the ground, and then a ground thorn rose instantly, and the magic hit the ground thorn with a dull sound, Randy hid behind the earthen wall and breathed a sigh of relief, this level is over.
Sean was stunned, he didn't expect Randy to be able to use the ground thorn like this, "Idiot, do you think this can be counteracted?"
Earth magic has the best defense among low-level magic, but it is not unlimited, after barely resisting two fireballs, the wind blade broke through the ground thorn, Randy panicked, desperately dodging to the side, but the wind blade grazed his arm, easily cutting off the small half of his body.
"Ahh
Some of the local apprentices below couldn't bear to glance at each other, and some shouted to kill the waste, Sean laughed wildly: "Trash, trash, go die!"
The desert island apprentices' faces changed dramatically, and they ran towards the dueling table at a rapid pace, they couldn't watch their companions die in front of their eyes anyway.
Sean's companions stopped them with a sinister smile: "Hillbilly, don't you even understand the rules?"
Quentin roared, "It's not fair!"
One of them looked at them like idiots and said, "Fair? Haha! You're so cute." Life or death in the dueling arena, if you want to avenge that waste, why don't you duel with me?"
William looked at him and said, "Howard, give me a face, spare Randy's life, I don't think the academy wants this to happen." β
Howard glanced at William contemptuously and said to his companion, "Look, what did I hear, they want me to give them a face, hahaha, a bunch of hillbillies, you guys deserve it too!?"
William's face turned pale for a while, he didn't expect to be insulted like this, but Randy was in danger, he had to keep this humiliation in his heart, turned his head to the senior apprentices and shouted, "Mentor, do you want to watch Randy die?"
The senior apprentices looked at him amusedly, and then an indifferent voice came: "What do you think a duel is? a friendly game?"
Sean on the stage saw that William was stopped, relieved, and walked towards Randy, who was rolling on the ground, and he wanted to humiliate the idiot before killing him.
"Behold, no one can save you, and you will surely die at the hands of Uncle Sean, and this is the price for daring you to challenge Uncle Sean. Don't worry, your companions will go down to accompany you one by one, damn the hillbillies, and I feel sick to the thought that I'm breathing the same air as you!"
Randy looked at Sean who was getting closer and closer, with unforgettable hatred in his eyes, he let go of the hand covering the wound, and roared, "Die!" He used the last fireball technique to send Sean to hell.
Sean activated the water curtain and said, "Do you think I didn't know you still had a piece of magic? β
Randy was desperate, he urged the last of his magic items and stumbled to float, unable to even maintain his balance because he had lost his arm and drained his spirit.
The desert island apprentice looks hopeful, maybe Randy will survive.
Sean condensed a fireball in front of him and said mockingly, "Shoddy performance, goodbye, trash." With a bang, Randy was torn apart in the sky and fell to the ground, in the hearts of the desert island apprentices.
......
The duel was a long story, but it was quick to bear fruit, and before Adam could walk back to the dormitory, there were already many excited apprentices around him, and after seeing the power of magic and death, they were extremely excited.
Adam was not surprised or concerned about Randy's death, but the haunted Elliot caught up and patted Adam on the shoulder: "The curse-friendly apprentice is dead. β
"Oh. β
"Tsk, it's really indifferent, don't you care at all?" Elliot sighed.
"Don't you care at all!?, the death of your companion?" A mournful voice sounded, and Adam looked up to see that it was Quentin who was speaking, and the rest of the desert island were looking at him sadly and angrily.
"We're from the same place, shouldn't we be united? This time it's Randy who died, and the next time it could be you! They want to kill us all, all of us, including you!" Quentin said excitedly.
Adam didn't even stop and continued walking towards the dormitory.
William sped a few steps and stopped in front of him: "Adam, come back, we need to be united, we need you." β
Elliot crossed his arms and stepped aside, watching the scene with great interest, wondering how his new acquaintance would face this kind of questioning.
"Huh. Adam chuckled emotionlessly.
"What is your attitude, do you look down on us?"
"Well, yes, I look down on you. Living in this world, everyone's life is their own, you can live like an idiot, but don't do idiotic things, otherwise you will only ask for your own life. Adam said indifferently.
Quentin's eyes were torn apart, and he was so angry that he shook his fist and lost his mind to teach Adam a lesson.
