Chapter 112: Solving the Cat (Part II)

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you can't wait!I know I can't!But the rules are the rules!Wait a minute, our challenger has been registered and her betting winnings have been verified!"

He turned to Frederick.

"Mr. Lin, do you accept it?"

Frederick asked Dai Xianglong for advice, and Dai Bingguo nodded confidently. He was also curious about what Gwen's game was. After all, how could a frontier mage, a junior one, have a chance to confront a resident prodigy like Frederick?

"I accept. ”

"Brave and reckless choice!" you announce to the whole world. "But young people only live once! win or lose. We applaud your bravery!"

"Why do you think I'm going to lose?" Frederick laughed arrogantly at the announcer, looking at Gwen as if it was the first time he had seen her. "I'm going to make sure that when it's all over, she and I can have a good time together. ”

Frederick let out a burst of boos. People who have beauty have a natural advantage that is difficult to replace in the best of circumstances.

A waitress took Gwen's ring and had it inspected by a resident craftsman. When the heat burns their brains, it's not uncommon for people to want to bet on magical items.

At the same time, a second waiter printed Gwen's multi-channel which was recognized by the Shanghai Tower. D。 As for why an Australian student is illegally in Shanghai, that's not a matter of rice, its only concern is pure entertainment, and the constant production of crystals and currency for its owners.

It took only a minute for a note to be handed to Magusyu.

"540 HDM crystals!" he screamed at the tuning spell. "Very confident!"

He turned around, grinned, and faced Lin Chiling.

"Mr. Lin, do you want to continue?"

All eyes turned to Frederick, and his face immediately turned pale.

He doesn't have that much money!

But can he refuse now?

He looked at Dai in despair.

Dai Xianglong approached the dueling arena and took out six crystal currency cards.

Frederick's face regained some of its previous color.

Because he doesn't have the money to take on the challenge, being punished would be a slap in the face.

Who the hell was this girl? He felt that his common sense was too broken to be repaired. Is she crazy? A ring of this caliber is obviously a precious gift from a master, at least at the level of a mage. What kind of brave squire would risk a token of his master?

Gwen would have laughed if she could hear Frederick's thoughts.

It wasn't because of pride, family, or honor that she challenged him. She was dueling with the poor bastard because she wanted to steal at least £500 from his defenseless body.

"Alright!alright!alright!" Yuu's voice was almost hoarse. "Here we go, my friends, get out of the way!"

The lights inside the car are on, and the lights outside are dimmed.

Gwen stood to the side with a gentle, laughing smile gently caressing her petal-like pink lips.

Frederick stood opposite, still overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events.

You ask for final confirmation.

Gwen nodded silently.

Frederick didn't say anything either, but for a completely different reason. Even in the distance, Gwen could feel the dust of fire emanating from him. The summoner tries to pre-load something big, maybe a flame hit, or at least a fireball.

She needed to do it cleanly. The less she acts, the more crystals she may produce in her next crime.

"All rights.... Received my signal...... "Yuu Dimension flew from the floor to the roof, waving and landing on top of the rectangular force cage.

"Let's go!"

"Fire Truck"

"Flashbang!"

A crystal-like fragment formed in front of Frederick's face, exploded with localized lightning strikes and light when it exploded.

Frederick hadn't even completed his spell before his world turned white in the hustle and bustle. The misshapen spell in his mind turned into noise, the spell vanished, and the mana returned to his body.

He had been tending to the fireball and was sure that he could release it in a second, but Gwen was using a first-level spell, which, combined with her constant practice and unusual affinity, only took a second.

Frederick could have sworn he wanted to do something, maybe a fire shield or a wall of fire, but the vertiginous concussion of his head amplifies all the sense of time and space.

"Dimensional Gate!"

Gwen slammed into Frederick's shoulder, appearing a few centimeters away from Frederick's stunned corpse, and then slammed into Frederick's chest with a powerful shoulder handle. At the point where her mana shield hit his barrier, a burst of electricity exploded, sending the young man flying with the resulting force.

"Burning H-"

Frederick even desperately tried to give him a little respite.

"Lightning Whip!"

Gwen slammed the air twice in front of her, and the lightning of the two tendrils sliced through Frederick's innate mana shield, sending him flying into the walls of the Force cage and sending out orange-yellow sparks where the flatfoot mage crashed into the invisible barrier.

"Blade!"

"Explosion!"

"Whip!"

Gravitated by her spell frenzy, Gwen didn't even say the first paragraph of the spell, just using her transformation signal to keep the passage open and let the electricity pour out.

Her spells are weaker without summoning signals, but to the untrained eye, it seems like she's constantly creating endless torrents of magic, or blades, tendrils, lightning, and other misshapen explosions of electricity.

Frederick must have fainted during the exchange, as Gwen saw his body limp to the ground.

She closed her passage to the fundamentals of lightning, facing the silent crowd.

Frederick's smoking body slid off the magical Force pane and comically knelt down towards her, head to heel.

“...”

“...”

“...”

A hundred mouths were open and closed, trying to find words that adequately described what they had just witnessed.

Some keen observers wondered if her display was part of a show, and some of the hallucinations may have been set up by Mage Yoi, enlivening the atmosphere after Tao's dreary duel.

This is as good as any other explanation.

After all, what exactly did they see? A girl, outwardly looking more like an idol than a battle mage, had just defeated the son of the Lin family, who was famous for summoning mages, except for a quasi-elemental first-level spell and a one-dimensional gate?

How fast is her spell?

How could her low-level spells be so powerful? How many schools had she used just now? It was impossible to tell without seeing her higher-level spells.

And most importantly, why hasn't anyone heard of her? No mage worthy of their salt will forget a beginner of this ability, even if they see her in action once.

She was a secret disciple who was eventually released into the world? Who was her mage? That's the most critical question. No one wants to step on the judge's foot without carefully considering the consequences.

"Peaches ......," Eric whispered. "I'm in love. ”

"Peach......" the puppy also chanted. "I'm in love too. ”

"Peaches ......," Papa McKe said after a moment of contemplation. "I think I have a phobia. ”

“...”

The moment Gwen let Frederick fly through her sturdy three-dimensional door, Mina felt pent-up aggression and delusion, and she spent the night sucking water dry from her chest. Now, however, she felt a new sensation rise up in her torso. Unlike Tao, Mina likes to think about her future; What does Gwen's entry into that future mean for herself, for the song, for the family? Who can be Gwen's master and train such a person?

"Winner, Miss Song!" You's voice resounded like a horn throughout the club.

"Woohoo!" Tao screamed. "Gwen!"

Then another one joined in.

And one more.

Then the whole club was screaming and stomping.

"Lightning Witch!"

"Goddess!"

"Gwen!"

The stingy nurses made their rounds, and Gwen helped them carry Frederick onto a stretcher. Thankfully, the kid was fine, Gwen could see Frederick and regained consciousness after a few seconds, but his body had been damaged by so many elements that he was completely numb and paralyzed.

Ewing handed the prize of the tournament to Gwen.

He placed her escape ring on a small red cushion, which he gave back to her, and another on the currency card he gave her.

In front of the crowd of onlookers, Gwen turned to where Dai Xianglong and his friends were sitting in the VIP area, still excited and incredulous.

"Mr. Feng!" she walked towards him, her boots clattering on the light-lit floor, the figure of the dancer following hundreds of pairs of eyes until she came to their stall.

She pulled out one of the cards, a 100HDM company.

"This is the money Momoko owes you," she said sweetly, her eyes full of sincerity. "Thank you for a job well done. ”

Before Day could respond, Gwen turned from her heels and strode back to the middle of the dance floor.

When she made an accurate spin and faced the corner of Dai again, he felt a terrible premonition fill his mouth with metal Don.

"Mr. Feng, another round?" Gwen held up her ring and the approximately four hundred HDM companies in her hand. "900 hard drives, winner takes all. ”

Magusyu barely suppressed his joy. Who would have thought that tonight would be the most exciting time of the year?

"Miss Gwen," he interrupted her. "Because you're a challenger, Mi gives you 10% of the club bonus. While it is not possible to calculate the exact number at the moment, I can assure you that your total score in the last race should be around 300HDM company. ”

Gwen turned to Day.

"I'm sorry!" she bowed. "1200 hard drives, winner takes all!"

The face of the wearer has blue, white, and dark colors. He retorted to her again, perhaps he did.

"Bet!" Tao began to chant as his friends joined in.

"Bet!"

"Bet!"

"Bet!"

The whole club joined.

"Bet, bet, bet, bet!"

Dai is a man who has rarely had regrets, but his feelings now are as clear as the 540 HDM company holes in his locker.

He couldn't have participated on his own, because he couldn't lose. He didn't know what the girl's abilities were, as he thought she was a hillbilly who won the genetic lottery. He had never heard of her, nor had he seen her at their social gatherings, school competitions, or family gatherings.

How did he know she was a hidden disciple? How did he know that this charming little mink was a bloody displacement beast? The effect she had shown in the teahouse was definitely a negative energy effect, and now he felt like he had been deceived. Lightning Witch?A spellcaster with the fastest elementals, except for Fallout Master?This is cheating!This is a trap!

He looked at Mina, and she looked at Gwen intently. Mina is a conspirator, but she also looks surprised. Tao is so stupid that she can't even breathe, is that girl doing all this?

But none of that matters.

He had to do something, or he would be the laughing stock of the city for weeks, even months. If they meet in a match, he will never be able to face Gwen again.

"Locke," he said calmly in the darkness, and a scrawny man in a gray suit stood there silently, like a sentry statue. "Can you handle this?"

"As you wish. ”

Day nodded affirmatively, feeling a calm emotion overwhelm the furious emotions in his feverish mind. Unexpected defeats, nobody's challenges, the shame of losing money, all of this seemed to make his temples swollen and painful.

"I don't care about her anymore, do what you have to do. We must avenge this insult. ”

Locke emerged from the darkness and came to the lights of the dueling arena.

Master Dai answers your challenge. "I'm going to be his representative," he said to the crowd without emotion, in the same tone as he was shouting takeaway.

A silent message bloomed in Gwen's ears, visible to all.

"That's Lok Kun, a Burmese national who serves in the foreign special forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Mr. Dai likes to boast that his bodyguards are unmatched in their duties. ”

"What is his ability?" said Gwen in a loud voice. She didn't care what Locke heard. After all, she is the challenger;

"Enchantment and confession, earth elemental, though Day says he specializes in training psychic magic. I've never seen him in action, though, so I can't help you with that. ”

"Thanks, that's enough. I'll take care of it. ”

"Are you sure?" said Mina, as if making a decision. "Don't push yourself too hard. If that's the case, Tao and I will support you. ”

Gwen turned her gaze to Locke, who patiently awaited her answer.

"Don't do that!" someone shouted from the crowd.

"Yes, he's a mage! It's ironic! It's unfair!"

"Go fight yourself!"

Gwen's next words immediately silenced the crowd.

"Okay, I accept. ”

Before you even react.

"Here you go, ladies and gentlemen, a stern mage! another groundbreaking game! a student training against an experienced mage!

"Is she a student?" someone in the crowd asked suspiciously, but their voices were quickly drowned out by your all-encompassing shouts.

"Challenger!Miss Song!From the Australian border!Quasi-elementalist!Young prodigy!"

"Defender!Mags Lekun, employed by the Feng family!An abandoned master of the arts!"

"Lightning vs. Earth!A decisive advantage for Magskun!Can Miss Song overcome the elemental mismatch?!Bet on whomever the goddess of victory will embrace?!Who will be the second-to-last winner tonight?!"

The Force Cage regained its protective shield.

Lekun stared at Gwen with the eyes of a dead fish. In Gwen's opinion, deep in the man's calm pupils, there was a little shadow of Edgar, but Locke did not have the disease that made Edgar so dangerous, just the indifference of a man who did not care about his own safety and well-being.

She glanced at the 1,200 high-definition crystals and prizes on display. Dai Xianglong didn't have enough money on him to pay it back, which meant he would owe her money if she won the match. If she hides his shame and allows them to communicate intimately, it means that he owes her a debt of gratitude. After all, crystals are money and social capital is priceless.

She took a deep breath.

Around them, the elated crowd shy away from their bets.

A cat came down. The other looks like a bite.
