Chapter 84: The Wizard's Duel (Part I)
"You seem to be in a bad mood, are you worried about anyone?"
The wizard leader, who was sitting on the couch behind him with a red wine glass, asked. His tone is always like this, and it is difficult to tell whether it is with kindness or mockery.
In addition to him and Sycodi, there were other people in the VIP room, even a school director. But they all stood around with their heads bowed at this time, silent, like statues of silence.
This kind of scene is common in the Hall school, and most of the time, the only person who talks is the teacher and the student. Even if a large number of members are present, others are nothing more than decorations.
Poetry's gaze fell on a blonde girl who had not yet entered. Of course, she was worried about whether her roommate would win, and she was well aware that Longman Hall had already seen through this, after all, the rumors that she and Villerlet were cohabiting and on good terms were not a secret in the tower.
"I just hate it." "A wizard is not a circus performer, and he should not be seen in one place like a rare animal. ”
"You're in luck, then." Longman Hall took a sip of the liquor from his glass, his gaze seemed to be looking through the transparent clear glass, looking into the depths of the void, staring at each other with "someone".
"For the vast majority of top students, it's a process they have to go through."
The custom of wizard duels exists in all schools, but there are lucky ones who don't have to go through this long and demanding process. To accept the power of who is the leader of the wizards as a student, they don't have to think about the rules in the first place. So occasionally there will be chief students who are selected because of special qualifications, and Shi Kodi is one of them.
At first, during her time as the head student of the Hall School, many people complained about her superiority. Of course, the witch quickly silenced them all with her remarkable talents.
"Lucky?"
Poeti never considered herself lucky. If it was her destiny to come to the Magic Tower and become a wizard, it was nothing more than a doom for her that she could not escape.
…… Because, the price of it is the destruction of the family.
The witch clasped her hands in front of her and replied faintly as she felt the tormented tingling sensation coming from deep within.
"I think it's nice to compete with your peers and work your way up step by step, it's a kind of exercise for people, and I've always lacked that opportunity."
"Stupid."
Her teacher made a rare use of rather serious tone words, and Poetic turned her head in surprise to find that Longman Hall's expression was no different from her usual expression.
"If you let other people who have lost the opportunity from the beginning hear, they will definitely scold you in their hearts."
"I don't pay attention to the jealousy of the incompetent, it's just a waste of time. Don't teachers think so? ”
"It's something that a gifted person can say without any burden, Miss Miller." He set the cup aside, pursed his lips with a sneer, "If this is the case, it is sad that those who are comparatively lacking in talent, and who were not chosen in the first place. ”
Poeti felt that there was something deep in Longman Hall's words. But before she could think about it, the sound of fireworks blooming in the sky came from the other side of the glass window wall.
This was followed by whistling cheers, audible even from a distance.
The silver-haired witch turned to look and saw her friend's figure steadily stepping into the ring, while on the other side, a young man walked up with the same smile on his face.
They saluted each other and stood on either side of the ring, waiting for the duel to officially begin.
A few seconds later, the High Wizard sitting in the referee's seat pointed his finger to the sky, energy erupted from his fingertips, and another fireworks burst into the sky.
The two men in the gladiatorial arena raised their wands at the same time.
*
The two were students of the Grimm School, and the schools of spells they excelled at were both in the natural realm.
Fire and frost, storms and thunder, howling winds and invisible energy, in the space within a radius of tens of meters, you fight for each other, and it is difficult to separate.
Neither Welllight nor David Duncan have reached the advanced rank yet, and can only cast official spells during battle. At this stage, the characteristics of the natural realm wizard's long-range strike ability and covered firepower like a turret cannot be fully displayed, and the scope of the battle is relatively narrow.
But because of this, when wizards cast spells on each other, they are like cowboys in a western movie who draw guns and shoot each other, which is very exciting; At the same time, in order to avoid the opponent's attack, they have to make dodge movements, they need to run around, and even roll around on the ground in embarrassment. Such a battle is obviously more enjoyable in the eyes of the audience, no less than a gladiator who fights to the death with real swords and guns.
The two young men have a lot of combat experience, they have come here from countless duels, and in the face of the "spark" that crisscrosses the battlefield everywhere and can be seriously injured if they are not careful, they do not show the slightest panic, the two calmly calculate the remaining mana, choose the right spell to release at the right time, speculate on the enemy's weaving attack pattern and counter it, fight back and forth for the rhythm of the battle, and dodge through dexterous movements.
Colorful lights flew back and forth between the two, and the splashes of energy knocked the surface into potholes and dust, almost like a large-scale fireworks scene...... Poetic thought to herself.
There is no limit to the field of study of every wizard, for example, Rasputin, although he is a legend in the psychic field, he is also quite accomplished in the field of spells, far better than ordinary wizards.
It's just that human energy is limited after all. Therefore, only one of the areas can be chosen for true specialization, and the area where a legendary wizard excels is the area where he develops legendary spells.
In addition, well-educated wizards below the higher level generally do not choose to study other genres, because that would miss out on valuable time. Before being promoted to a high wizard, it is often the time of the wizard's life that makes the fastest progress, which is the so-called "golden career". If you miss this opportunity, you will never have a chance to catch up in your life.
Both of them are natural realm wizards, so their fighting styles are extremely similar, and victory or defeat depends entirely on their individual abilities.
"Who can win?"
The silver-haired witch's gaze wandered back and forth between the two men who were running rapidly.
Judging from the scene, the fight between Villerett and Duncan was quite impressive, evenly matched. But it wasn't discovered until Scotti used the probing power of the prophetic realm......
"Magic...... There is a clear gap. ”
The witch's face became serious.
Duncan David's residual magic power is higher than that of Villeret. If this continues, the situation will be very unfavorable.
There is no gap between wizards and witches in terms of magical qualifications, and it can only be said that the distance between the current Willett and the next rank is farther than her opponent.
Obviously, I've heard from Willie before, and the progress of the two was similar a year ago-
Skaudi suddenly remembered something.
In the books related to "Wizard Growth Pedagogy", there is a classic theory. That is the gap in talent between wizards and wizards, which is manifested precisely from the end of the golden career.
Until then, as long as the magical quality reaches a certain stage, it will be possible to eliminate incompetent people like Richard in the past. And the promotion from apprenticeship to official is not difficult. At this stage, hard work can still make up for the natural qualification gap, but once the golden career is over, there is almost no possibility of catching up.
In this way, although Willett has been working harder, it is better to say that she is working harder, but her progress in the past few years has indeed been a little unable to keep up with her peers......
For wizards, knowledge and magic are equally important. Wellett has no problem understanding knowledge, but her magical qualifications are lagging behind, after all, she does not have the blood of a witch like herself.
Worries about her friend's future cast a shadow over her mind for a while.
But Scordi knows better that the most important thing at the moment is the outcome of this battle. If Violet can emerge victorious, with the teachings of the legendary wizard, with her mind and willpower, she will never lag behind those who have talent.
……
Inadvertently, the rhythm of the duel changed.
The two people, who were originally like two cautious hunters, constantly testing and trying to find each other's loopholes, began to exert their true strength and engage in fierce confrontations.
Magic and magic intertwined in the air, and the whizzing spells were intertwined with each other, like a long rainbow belt that stretched across the sky, and there were bursts of exclamations from the audience. This combat skill has far surpassed the capabilities of the average official wizard.
And in the process, it is the female side that takes the lead in the challenge and takes the initiative in the battle: Villette purses her lips, raises her wand, and moves forward step by step in the storm of spells and light.
She waved her wand like a conductor at a concert, and with precision and dexterity she picked up the spells released by the other party one by one, and applied a counterattack, so that the other party had no time to pay attention to her approach.
In the bitter wind, long blonde hair fluttered behind the girl.
Her robes were dusty, scorched and riddled with holes, but she didn't take a step back.
At this time, Willett was less like a wizard, but more like a goddess of victory galloping on the battlefield, and she was determined to march towards the enemy.
The young blonde witch caught the eye of everyone in the audience. Duncan Davy, on the other side, performed equally well, but looked overshadowed in front of Villeret.
