Chapter Eighty-Seven: Just be surprised
The mage in charge of the mage certification Romon Lear had seen him in the office meeting where Derek wanted to recruit him as a mage with Sarabuto, he was a fourth-level mage at that time, and now he is at the fifth level, and he has also been successfully elected as one of the three vice presidents of the mage association, and he nodded worriedly when he saw Lear, which means that the news that Lear is going to duel with Merica has spread in the mage association.
"You're being reckless. β
On the way to the magic test ground, Romon says this to Lear, who smiles and doesn't speak.
"So, let's get started. β
Romon used teleportation to tell the third-level mage next to Lear from the stands, and there were two other fourth-level mages sitting next to him, but there was some banter and contempt in the eyes of those two people looking at Lear.
It's like watching a dancing monkey.
The old rule is still that Adela goes first, in the surprised eyes of Luo Meng and the others, she first completed the certification requirements of the second level mage with four first-level spells and a thunderbolt ice, and then ended her performance with a thunderbolt lightning and a huge fireball that exploded in the sky above the magic experimental field, and the entire spell casting process was completed in one go, and just after she finished casting spells many times in a row, Luo Meng and the others still did not see any traces of excessive mental power consumption on her face, and a little light crystal sweat hung on her forehead, which made everyone understand that she still had spare strengthγ
Bavitte (the name of the two-bar mage) died unjustly at all, and after seeing Adela's spell-casting ability, everyone who had already known what had happened thought to themselves.
It may be necessary to report this to President Zaken, such a young and potential magician is a precious asset of the Sarabuto Mage Guild, and should not be consumed in such a battle of righteousness.
Romon began to hesitate in his heart, but he didn't want to offend Merica, because whether it was his background or his future, the latter obviously had more potential than his dying old age.
"You can get started, Lear. β
Eventually, Romon decided to wait and see.
It was only after Lear had recited four second-level spells and one third-level spell in a row that there was no sign of stopping, that Romon quickly stopped him.
"Wait for Lear!"
Romon was already deeply shocked.
"I'm not qualified to do what you're going to do, you wait here, I'll inform the elder. β
With that, he hurriedly turned around and walked out of the passage in the stands, leaving only the two fourth-level mages who were equally shocked and the third-level mage who was responsible for driving the alchemy puppet on the field, and the stone man used as a magic test had already been reduced to a pile of shards in Lear's spell bombardment.
A few minutes later, Zaken, dressed in a white robe, appeared in front of Lear with a solemn face, apparently Romon had already told him everything on the way here.
"Kid, you make me proud, it's only now that I finally understand how much Derek has contributed to the Sarabuto Mage Guild, you can continue to do what you want, I'll be watching you here, just a little later I hope we can talk. β
Old Zaken said to Lear with a kind face.
"If you're trying to persuade me to stop the duel with Merica, I don't think we need to talk about it, although I'm not a warrior, what I say will still count, not to mention the duel request I took the initiative to raise, if I give up now, then will I have to raise my head to be a man in the future?"
Lear said lightly, after Sandru's incident, he was very unkind to the white-bearded old man in front of him, although he knew that the responsibility for the matter was not on him, but he just didn't like it.
"No, Merika will go and convince him, as long as you agree to give up this duel, I promise that this matter will not have any negative effects, you two are valuable treasures of the Sarabuto Mage Guild, and both are still young, I really don't want to see the precious future of the Guild consumed in such a battle of wills. β
It seems that Zaken has high hopes for both Lear and Merica, after all, he is old and the future no longer exists for him.
"I refuse. β
Lear didn't hesitate.
"Why?"
This time, it was Romon who couldn't help but speak, he was very puzzled why President Zaken had made such a solemn promise, and Lear still refused to back down.
"He insulted my daughter... Companion. β
After saying this, Lear took a deep breath and almost blurted out 'He insulted my woman', but fortunately he changed his words in time, otherwise something would have happened.
"If you insist on stopping me, then I will quit the Sarabuto Mage Association and duel him as a wandering mage. β
Seeing that old Zaken's lips were squirming and he wanted to say something of admonition, Lear immediately added.
"Hey. β
Romon sighed.
"Okay, then I only have one last request left, your duel can only be won or lost, not life and death. β
Zaken compromised.
"If Merica hadn't done it first, I wouldn't have done it, and if he had done it first, I wouldn't have kept it. β
Lear doesn't say yes, he doesn't say no, he doesn't like to put those boring rules on himself before the battle starts.
"I'll watch you guys. β
Zaken said helplessly.
With him, an eighth-level magician, it would be difficult to find a human life in this duel.
............
Merica's eyes widened when she saw Lear following Zaken and the others at the edge of the arena, and the look of self-confidence and laughter quickly receded from his face, replaced by intense surprise and unease, because the mage badge on Lear's chest swayed with his steps like a bright light stabbed his eyes.
How is it possible?
Just over an hour ago, he saw with his own eyes two bars hanging from his chest opposite.
In his stunned gaze, Lear walked up to him with a playful smile.
"Surprised, surprised, I'm really looking forward to the look in your eyes now. β
"What about a level 5 magician, do you think you're going to win? don't forget that I'm also level 5!"
In order to hide his embarrassment, Merica roared loudly, not knowing that his performance in Zaken's eyes brought deep disappointment to the latter.
When facing the weak, talking and laughing and winning the way to win, once you find out that the opponent is not a sheep but a wolf, there is such a gaffe, if it is against the stronger?
Before the duel began, Merika lost the upper hand in momentum, and Zaken could only shake his head helplessly.
"You will personally act as a referee and witness in this duel, there will be no audience except me, and the result of the duel will only be known to the three of us, the reason why I do this is because I have only one request, that is, I can only divide the victory and defeat, not life and death, do you understand?"
When he said this, Zaken seemed to have a different kind of persistence, even his originally somewhat rickety back straightened a little, and indeed in his opinion, both Lear and Merica were responsible for the future of the Sarabuto Mage Association, and any one person who made a mistake would be a heavy loss for the association.
Unfortunately, not everyone thinks the same way.
Lear nodded in understanding, and Merica snorted coldly before heading to another edge of the arena - duels between mages were different from warriors, longer distances were good for dodging, and hand-to-hand combat was inelegant for fragile spellcasters.
"If you're all ready, then let's get started, remembering what I just said. β
After dispersing everyone from the arena and casting several silence spells and obstacles at the entrance, Old Zaken announced in a deep voice the signal for the duel to begin.
A flash of fire appeared in Merica's hand, without any spell, and the flame quickly swooped down on Lear after condensing into a ball of fire about a meter in diameter.
Not instantaneous.
It's a magic scroll!
