Francis's companions were also curious, and asked him, "Do you know this old fellow?"

Francis himself was a little confused, most of the old acquaintances who had survived the Tower War had seen him in the past few months, including the annoying Elliot and the uninhuman Frank, but he didn't remember who the person in front of him was.

"Has the Tower of Moldor fallen to such an extent, and even an old fellow like this can stay in the Academy?" burst into laughter among the apprentices from Monte Carlo.

In fact, not only them, but even most of the new apprentices in the Moldor Academy did not know James, who had stayed in Adam's laboratory for a long time and rarely went out, and no longer accepted the teaching tasks of the new apprentices, and he had almost become completely invisible in the academy.

Francis stopped the taunts of his companions, and he and a few of the strongest could feel the undisguised energy fluctuations coming from James, although it was a little obscure, and the elemental aura was not felt from it, but in terms of quantity, it was not too weak to them.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Francis again.

James took a deep breath, and then a smile suddenly bloomed on his old face: "Long time no see, Francis, I'm James, James Berry." He had never mentioned his last name, and it was only now, when he decided to put everything at his risk, that he regained the glory that his surname represented.

Francis looked at him suspiciously, chewing on the name repeatedly, comparing the image of James with everyone in his memory, and finally suddenly realized: "I remember, it's you, the waste who escaped from my hands back then!"

Monte Carlo's apprentices asked Francis, Francis glanced at James with disdain, and then said loudly to his companions: "During the Tower War, I received an order to raid the 17th District, you know, they are very weak, so I am the only one on the mission, and the person in charge of the 17th District is him and his companions, they are all waste, I easily finished the killing, only him," Francis pointed at James and spit on the ground, "Fled, regardless of the life or death of his companions, he fled alone." ”

Monte Carlo's apprentices fell silent for a short time and then laughed contemptuously, and all sorts of foul language and insulting gestures were forced at James, and even the shrunken Moldor apprentices cast contemptuous glances at him, and the two sides, though hostile, were completely identical in their views on deserters.

James stood still in the midst of the slander and disdain, and corrected him earnestly: "I did not run away. ”

James's explanation was only for himself, I was too weak at that time, I was knocked out of the battlefield by a tornado, I was seriously injured and fell into a coma for a few days, I woke up and returned to the seventeenth district desperately, but the battle was over, and only the corpses of my companions were left in front of me, I was crazy and wanted to seek revenge on you, but I couldn't find it, even my courage was disappearing, but although I was cowardly at that time, I definitely didn't run away.

Francis slammed his spittle on the ground again: "When you die, tell your companions, I'm not interested, get out of the way now." ”

Francis and his companions strode forward, not paying any attention to James.

James stood motionless, the telekinesis made the surrounding air viscous, Monte Carlo's apprentices suddenly felt that it was difficult to walk, Francis cut the air with a wind blade, and said to James hideously: "Are you provoking?" He began to feel a little uneasy, James was bored by his unchanging smile, and the rest of the apprentices also looked at James with unkind faces.

James let out a cloudy breath, not because he was nervous, but because he abandoned his cowardice, and his eyes were as bright as stars: "Duel, Francis, bet life and death." ”

James's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears accurately, and everyone could hear the firmness and fearlessness in his words, but this was especially ridiculous and harsh to Francis's ears.

His face suddenly became very funny, and he plucked out his ears exaggeratedly, and said, "You want to duel with me? A waste who can't even withstand the aftermath of magic dares to duel with me? Who gave you the courage?"

The taunt had no effect on James, who simply repeated calmly, "Duel, Francis." ”

Francis laughed angrily, pointed at James and said, "Okay, well, since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you." ”

James smiled even more, nodded and said, "Just today, right now, I'm waiting for you in the dueling arena." After leaving these words, he turned around and left without hesitation.

......

Francis looked at James's back and suddenly became angry, he felt that he was being despised by a waste who couldn't even stand in front of him in the first place, and he roared incoherently: "Damn, damn, kill you, waste, I must kill you!"

His companions didn't know what to say, and the sheep's sudden revolt overwhelmed them for a moment.

At this moment, a man and a woman landed silently behind them, and the male apprentice looked at the crazy Francis and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

After hearing his voice, everyone hurriedly turned around, and even the angry Francis calmed down and bowed to the two: "Lord Bill, Lord Monica." ”

The apprentice named Bill waved his hand and asked again, "Francis, what are you doing?"

Francis took a few deep breaths to calm his anger, told Bill what had just happened, and then waited for his orders.

Bill frowned: "Since it's a waste, then it's good to kill it, anger will only make you lose your cool and decency." ”

Monica is a very bewitching woman, she covers her mouth and chuckles, her whole body is shaking with it, but none of the apprentices dares to stop at her beautiful body: "Bill and I have found an interesting person, now you go and deal with that waste, and then come with us to meet the true genius of Moldo." ”

She walked to the front, circled around Francis, and said flirtatiously, "Don't delay too long, and then, don't lose......"

Francis seemed to remember something terrible, couldn't help but shudder, and said loudly like a mortal soldier facing his commander, "Yes, Monica-sama!"

Monica nodded in satisfaction, turned around and took Bill's arm, and smiled, "Let's go have a look, dear Bill." ”
