William Robeschi was a hot-tempered battle maniac, and no matter what his opponent's background or strength, he would basically immediately launch a duel when he was provoked, offended, or in a bad mood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, he is also quite famous among the students of Academy City, and the title of "Duel Maniac" is well deserved. Basically, since he launched a duel against a third-turn mage-level academy leader, no one wanted to provoke him casually. After all, murder is not allowed in the academy city, and it is not a comfortable thing to be provoked by such a mad dog.

At the age of twenty this year, he was even more so after he was promoted to a first-turn mage five months ago, and he had a record of defeating a first-turn mage when he was just a mage's apprentice, and now he may even be able to defeat a second-turn mage, right? Even if he doesn't, for the vast majority of students, there is no certainty of defeating him.

Being entangled in a mad dog that you can't beat yourself is undoubtedly a very uncomfortable thing.

It is precisely because of such a character that William, who can be regarded as talented and intelligent in magic, will be thrown to Academy City by his family. Before, he himself was quite happy, but recently he couldn't find a fight, and after his mind began to cool down, he gradually realized the fact that he seemed to be abandoned, and he was naturally more irritable than usual when he began to be unhappy.

The handyman he met this time, Brunei Carlyle, had a strange attitude throughout, and even if he confessed his mistake and apologized, he did not cower like an ordinary handyman, and there was no respect in it. William is not a person who cares about other people's opinions, but because of his bad mood, he can't help but wonder if Brunei is sarcastic and provoked him.

So his emotions were detonated for the first time when he heard the sentence "I'm sorry", which seemed to him to be tantamount to mockery, and then Brunei's real mockery made him confirm his previous suspicions.

Therefore, in his opinion, this duel is a logical thing.

But his mood was not as bad as before, on the contrary, because Brunei was a rare person who took the initiative to lure him into a duel, and he even had a slight affection for Brunei Darussalam.

Brunei delights and ridicule were normal to him, and the use of language to provoke his opponents and disturb their emotions was common, though rarely used by himself, and was often effective. For this reason, he has long learned to keep his mind in a relatively calm state during the duel.

And the little trick played by Brunei just now to fight for the momentary first-mover advantage that may exist for Brunei Darussalam, which William appreciates very much. This is evidence that Brunei is serious about this duel.

"But, no matter what, I'm going to win. ”

He didn't think about it, but the words came to his mind like bubbles rising from the bottom of the water.

"Because, the so-called battle, that is, the side that is stronger and more experienced, will win. ”

Judging from the palms and arms that Brunei showed when he took off his gloves just now, he was not a very strong person, and there were not even muscles in his thin body. William, who has an advantage in spellcasting ability, undoubtedly has a great advantage in hard power.

As for the experience - even if this is a pure Imperial, most of them have run from the interior of the Empire, probably a wanted criminal, and must have experienced a lot of battles along the way, but after all, the face is very young, maybe not yet 18 years old, William has experience in combat - especially in duels, and he will definitely not lose to the other side.

The idea was soon confirmed. Fast, dimly flickering three different colored lights, quite familiar to William, "increase strength", "speed up reaction", "weaken pain", the three simplest and commonly used level 0 spells with clear effects. In low-level battles, they are almost inseparable, but releasing these three spells in a row as soon as they come up is a typical sign of inexperience.

William was not tricked by Brunei and failed to keep up with his spell casting speed, and he had just used up one when the other party released these three spells, but his rich duel experience told him that street duels only need one spell at the beginning. "Speed up the reaction", using just one spell, will give you the upper hand most of the time in the duel.

William got into an attacking stance faster than Bruneis and lunged at Bruneis. The muscles in his legs stretched violently, sending him flying like a spring that had been suddenly released, and if it went well, the blow could have made the difference.

However, although the Brunei was a step late, he quickly recognized the situation and dodged to the side early, avoiding William's pounce. It was a pity that William flashed the thought, and then quickly comforted himself in his heart.

Brunei's speed with the bonus of "speeding up the reaction" is already in full view. Far inferior to him. Victory is a matter of time.

This guy's physical fitness is really not very good, and it is just a futile effort to grow such a big man. Maybe he will have a lot of strength, but that doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't get a chance to hit himself.

Thinking so, William stood still, turned around, and swung his ready-to-go right fist towards Bruneith.

"Flashed again?" The other party's movements were not fast, but they seemed to have completely seen through William's movements, almost less than three centimeters, and let his head pass William's fist.

The other began to chant the incantation, short and powerful. William wasn't without the knowledge to understand the spell the other party was going to cast just by listening to the spell, but he really admired it in his heart. The most basic requirement for casting spells is to stabilize the mind, control the spirit, and cast the spell in front of the enemy's face, which shows how strong his concentration is.

Or does he still feel at ease?

William's right fist continued to sweep to the right, and was dodged by a bent over, and the fierce kick of the body that had been waiting behind him to follow the rotation was also dodged by the man who seemed to be hunched back rather easily.

It wasn't that he saw through his movements, did William even have such thoughts. Because of the angle of this foot, he shouldn't have been seen before, and his movements were as hidden as possible...... Could it be, prophet of the unknown?

William's mind was a little flustered for a moment, he barely stood still, and pushed forward with his left hand in the shape of a palm.

There is a soft touch in the palm of the hand, and it immediately becomes warm and moist. The cry of "hmm" made William sober up, and the hunched Brunei was actually hit in the nose by the palm he had just made, and the bright red blood gushed out, looking quite embarrassed. And the incantation that had been chanted earlier was naturally interrupted.

"What's going on? I couldn't hit like that before, why can't I dodge this time?Is it mind reading? Because this palm is not in his plan, so-" William succeeded in his blow, but he took a few steps back, and distanced himself from Brunei, "No, the lowest level of mind reading is also level 4 magic. Isn't he an apprentice mage?

Brunei covered his nose for a while, and with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his eyes, he looked at William, who suddenly stopped the offensive. But soon he realized that the nosebleed would not heal for a while, so he let go of his hand, and the black mask that had been with him for several months quickly turned a dark red color.

“...... He is an Imperial Mage. There weren't a few people on the street now, and most of them were students, that is, there were no mage attendants. That's not much different from a magic apprentice. What's more, it's already strange for a magic apprentice to be a handyman, and it's completely unimaginable to be more advanced. William was quick to deny the previous crankiness, "So, is it luck, or intuition it?"

After all, they fled here from within a distant empire, and there are really some doorways.

To retreat from the initiative was to give up the position of the first hand he had previously occupied, and based on experience, William had no intention of rushing forward to launch a new round of fist attacks. Overall, Willian had a lot of advantages in the first round of this fight, so he didn't need to take any more risks, but used them to amplify them and win the victory.

The brief pain caused by that palm didn't seem to have much effect on his opponent, and he began to chant again. Is there a spell casting action this time - is it a level 2 spell? Or is it just a random move that affects your judgment?

From the beginning of the duel, William judged that his opponent was a scheming and tricky man, so he did not make judgments. But in any case, chanting a spell means at least a level 1 spell.

William is not that fond of thinking, he admires experience, and the instinctive reactions that arise naturally from the accumulation of experience. These thoughts and judgments didn't even come to his mind, he just looked at everything in front of him and subconsciously felt so. The instinctive reaction may not be correct, but the advantage is that it doesn't consume time.

"At the end of the day, combat is a game of getting the first shot, so, as a first-turn mage, I'm sure to win. ”

His first thought finally took shape in his mind, and Brunei had only finished reciting the first two syllables of the incantation. William opened his mouth too, and then he sang at a much faster speed than Bruneith, and after a few seconds, he was already better than Bruneith.

Witnessing and enjoying Brunei's surprised expression, William felt great satisfaction: "After all, he is just a handyman." He didn't seem to know that the biggest advantage of a mage compared to a mage apprentice was that their magic emblem had at least one supermagic skill engraved on it. I have unconditionally accelerated chanting, really, I have won!"

By the time William finished the last note with a sonorous voice, Brunei's spell was far from being completed.

The corners of William's mouth went up, a smile appeared, his left hand was holding his right hand, and his right hand was hidden behind him, although he had already confirmed his victory from the beginning, it was only at this moment that he said these two words word by word for the first time: "Win." ”

"......" Brunei felt like he was wrapped in a furnace, and his first feeling in the cold winter was comfort. Until the flames, smoke, and burnt breath filled his five senses.

Brunei made a gesture of jerking his right hand up, and shook off the burning black robe. His back was still hot, burning so much that he almost felt like someone had put a piece of ice there.

"Soon, patience, hurry—" Brunei's tears and sweat poured out like a spring, but he had to endure the pain, not allowing it to interrupt his train of thought, not even to grit his teeth, and almost screaming every time he opened his mouth, but in the end it was only a short note.

"Awesome. William had come to him at some point, his face full of respect and admiration, and the smile of the victor, "Unfortunately, inexperienced. Or do I win. ”

Bruneith caught a glimpse of William's fist blasting towards his temple.

"Incapacitated, that is, stunned?" Bruneith thought almost subconsciously.

The black mask on Brunei's face was also ignited by the flames, and the smile underneath was extremely hideous.

"Really?"
