Seeing Jimmy's anxious and sullen expression, President Wood said meaningfully, "Jimmy, my old friend, I warned you a long time ago that you should bet on our disciple of the Holy Land School of Magic, Ben Stuart. Could it be that with our many years of friendship, you still can't trust the students I have personally trained?"

"The students you trained? hehe, I really can't believe it. ”

Andrew interrupted with a mocking face, "Jimmy, with the weak character of this old fellow Wood, the students he trained are definitely not as good as my disciple Charles!

"Jimmy, you can really reconsider, know the kid you value, huh...... He hasn't done a single question yet. ”

Ice Calamity Iswell frowned, looked at Wu Hui with his gaze, and gestured, "For the sake of everyone who has known each other for many years, now you can bet on any of our three disciples, I don't think any of the three of us will object." ”

President Wood nodded, and Andrew looked approving.

Jimmy Gaunt was a tech nerd back then, and at that time, the way of magic was just emerging, and several of them studied under the same mentor, this Jimmy Gaunt was a good man in the academy, and the three of them were a little conflicted with each other, and they all had a good impression of him.

Therefore, it is not a big deal to let Jimmy Gaunt play a trick and make a new choice among the disciples of the three of them.

After all, for them, the protagonists of this preliminaries duel are the disciples of the three of them.

"No! I will never change it!"

Jimmy's old face turned red, as if he had some ruthless intentions, slapped the table, and said with a resolute expression, "I, Jimmy Gangter, am also a great alchemy master, and the person I chose will not change if he says that he will not change!"

"Alas. President Wood shook his head, and Iswell's eyes showed regret.

Since Jimmy Gaunt, the old guy, is stubborn and has to lose his fortune, what else can they do?

"Jimmy, you chose it yourself, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Andrew's eyes were full of mockery, and he sneered deliberately, "I will accept your ten philosopher's stones unceremoniously." ”

"Hmph!" Jimmy Gaunt skimmed his face, his expression pointless and resolute.

It's just that he is secretly complaining in his heart, Brother Wu Hui, losing the Philosopher's Stone is a small matter, but my Jimmy's old face, you must defend it for me.

......

"Ahh

In the preliminaries, Wu Hui suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his nose disapprovingly and continued to play with the crystal ball in front of him.

"It's interesting, it's interesting. ”

"Isn't this the law and application of optical imaging?"

"Yo, there is a chemistry question here, and the test is actually the displacement reaction of ferrous sulfate. ”

Wu Hui slid the question on the crystal ball and secretly said that it was interesting.

These magicians come up with not only mathematical calculations, but also physics, chemistry, and some simple astronomy and geography problems.

The difficulty ranges from elementary school to middle and high school.

These questions are indeed a bit difficult for people who have not undergone systematic education in this world, but for people like Wu Hui, who have already gone through the arduous college entrance examination and have completed four years of college, these questions are just revisiting the nine-year compulsory education of the year.

Of course, there are also some topics related to magic.

For example, how to make a fireball technique, and then what angle and what kind of force should be thrown out, and finally successfully hit the stone crab beast 180 meters away.

This question was listed as a comprehensive exam question in this preliminaries, and it is still a bit difficult, with a score of five points.

Of course, it is not difficult to be a so-called meeting. In addition to Wu Hui not knowing how to make a fireball technique, the other problems for him are just an oblique throwing movement in middle school physics.

There are many, many more such examples, and it can be seen that this president, Keith Wood, attaches great importance to basic education, and if he can learn the basics of the natural world from these sources, he can really become a man of learning in this world famous for his fighting spirit and magic.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, these magicians really underestimated them. ”

Just when Wu Hui was sliding the topic with great interest, the little old man Augustus in his ring, with his hands behind his back, the old god appeared.

Under the blessing of divine magic, Augustus, who appeared in the form of a soul, was only visible to Wu Hui, and the conversation between them was also a direct communication on the spiritual level, and outsiders could not listen to it either.

"The old man thought that the magicians of this era would only play with the skin of some spells, but he didn't expect that they were really pursuing the essence and true meaning of all things. Although these topics are still superficial, it can at least be seen that they are looking in the right direction. ”

Ringwraith Augustus nodded, and said a few words of approval without hesitation, and then his voice changed, "But rest assured, my lord, this knowledge about the nature of all things, in my time, was just the common sense of children, and it is really not worth mentioning to me. ”

"Just give me half an hour, I promise to let my master top the first place in points, until the end of the preliminaries, no one can surpass!"

Augustus looked confident, in order to be able to regain his life, he was bent on making meritorious contributions, and he could do his best for Wu Hui's arrangement.

"There's no need. ”

Wu Hui shook his head and refused, "These questions are very interesting, I can do it myself." If you don't understand something, I'll look for you again. ”

"Do your will. Augustus nodded respectfully, and like an attendant, he stood aside honestly, waiting for Wu Hui's call.

Wu Hui loosened his somewhat slippery and tired fingers, and was about to start answering the question, when a suppressed and anxious sigh was passing from his left front.

When I looked up, I found a tall and flamboyant young magician, lying miserably on the table, pulling his hair with both hands, looking like he had been forced to the brink of collapse by these strange exam questions.

"Isn't this kid the same Lawrence from before, the one who slammed the air?"

Wu Hui recognized Lawrence at once, and secretly thought that this kid had just openly said that today he was going to trample all the geniuses present under his feet.

Why, just set the flag, and now you're going to be slapped in the face?

Turning his gaze again, Wu Hui looked at the ranking on the water curtain, and the top three were the geniuses that Lawrence wanted to step on.

Thinking of this, an interesting thought began to appear in Wu Hui's heart, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Next, this qualifier will definitely be very interesting.

"Ringwraith August. ”

"I'm here. ”

"That kid is also the one who has accepted the inheritance of ancient magic, go ahead~"

"Yes~ my lord. ”

In the next instant, Ring Spirit August disappeared beside Wu Hui.

Hehe~ The more Wu Hui thought about it, the more he felt that his bad taste would make the next series of things extraordinarily interesting.

I'm really looking forward to it.

......

Time has passed little by little, and the normal qualifiers have gradually entered the white-hot stage.

The water curtain ranking, which is refreshed every few minutes, has been refreshed again and again. Although the top three have always rotated between the genius Ben Stuart of the Holy Land, Charles, the third prince of the Empire, and the genius Karen Glacier of the Siren, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the many contestants and the audience outside the stadium.

Perhaps it is precisely because the strength of the three geniuses is equal that the championship of this preliminary round will be full of suspense. As for the other contestants, they are fighting for the only place to advance.

For many contestants, making it to the first round is already a success.

Throughout the scene, the atmosphere began to become more and more anxious.

At this moment, the host of the qualifiers, Wild, glanced at the inverted hourglass, turned around and reminded loudly: "There is still a quarter of an hour left in the preliminaries, contestants, please hurry!"

"What, what? only, only a quarter of an hour left?"

"What should I do? I haven't done a lot of ......."

"I, I haven't made it to the hundred!"

"It's too late!ahhh

With the host's prompt, many contestants at the scene panicked.

There are about five quarters of an hour in a magic moon, and now there is only a quarter of an hour left, which means that the qualifiers have entered the final stage, and if you don't make the final sprint at this moment, then it means being eliminated!

Many contestants at the scene had solemn faces, and almost all of them threw themselves into the sea of exam questions at the same moment.

At the front row of the crowd, three outstanding young people who were named geniuses glanced at each other, then lowered their heads and continued to answer the questions seriously.

Now the top three are still firmly occupied by them, but the competition between the three of them has only really begun now.

"It seems that those three boys have very solid basic skills. ”

President Wood nodded appreciatively, although they had a bet on the front, from another point of view, these three young disciples already represented the future of the wizarding world.

Now that the three of them are so good, he still feels relieved from the bottom of his heart as the current president of the Magic Association.

"Hehe, although I don't want to admit it, but the students you teach are really good. ”

Andrew, the Holy Demon Master of the palace who has always been unexpected, gave an unprecedented appreciation.

It's just that before this appreciative word fell, his expression became rebellious again: "The disciples of the two of you have been able to compete with my disciple Charles until now, which has proved their excellence. However, there is still a gap between them and Charles after all, and your disciples will definitely be trampled under Charles' feet!"

"Hmph, that's a big breath. ”

Ice Calamity Iswell's eyes were like sea snakes, and then he showed a cold look, "Now let's wait and see, how your disciple Charles, how to trample me and Brother Wood's disciple under your feet!"

The three bigwigs insisted on their own words and competed with each other.

Jimmy Gunter, the alchemist who was also sitting on the rostrum, sat sullenly on the sidelines, smoking his pipe alone, not wanting to answer a word.

Because of the Wu Hui brother he bet on, he still didn't even enter a hundred.

He didn't know what Brother Wu Hui was doing, but this bottomless feeling in his heart really made him suffer like an ant on a hot pot.

"Huh?"

Jimmy Gaunt was slightly surprised, he found that at this time, an unfamiliar name jumped to the end of the leaderboard, and rose extremely fast.

This name had not been in the top 100 before, but just now, as the water curtain was refreshed, it actually jumped to 80.

But it didn't take long for the water curtain to refresh again, and that name actually crossed more than twenty at once, reaching sixty-three!

This speed has to be called amazing, you must know that now that we have reached the final stage of the preliminary round, the gap between them has been widened, how difficult is it to catch up with the rankings at this time?

But what was the matter with that young man? How did he manage to move up the rankings so quickly?

"Lawrence Cambuur?"

The person who also noticed the name was Iswell, who looked sideways slightly, and asked President Wood beside him, "That is the student of your Magical Academy under the Holy Land?"

It is difficult for someone who can quickly improve his ranking again and again at this time without attracting attention, let alone a person who has quickly caught up all the way from outside the hundred.

President Wood did not answer, his expression looking somewhat noncommittal.

Both he and Andrew looked over to the Ranking Water Curtain after Isville made an inquiry.

As a result, the three bigwigs in the stands almost widened their eyes.

The water curtain refreshed again, and the strange young man named Lawrence Cambuur actually climbed from sixty-three just now to an astonishing thirty-five in one fell swoop!

In the meantime, there were thirty-two people!
