Chapter 18: The Duel (I)
The Academy of Magic is no different from usual, it is still full of life and vitality. Star Zero and Erica stroll along the school paths and look at the koi pond that has come back to life. The fish in the pond swim happily and freely, and sometimes they will emerge from the water and turn their tails mischievously.
Star Zero said to Erica: "This kind of life is really comfortable, I really want to live like this forever." Erica smiled happily and said, "That's not good, don't you still have to practice magic and go to my clan to snatch me back?"
Xing Zero also smiled happily when he heard this: "Yes, I must work hard to learn magic." I heard that the afternoon is a magic class, so I'm looking forward to it. I haven't known a lot of magic yet. ”
Erica bent down and broke off a beautiful grass root and handed it to Star Zero. Xing Ling took it and took it into his mouth. Erica said, "I don't know much magic, I remember when I was a kid the old butler taught me a wind magic. Shall I show you my wind magic in my magic class in the afternoon?"
Xingling smiled and said, "Okay, is Xiaoli a wind magician? I seem to only know water magic, but I also seem to have a good sense of other magic elements." Ever since the old butler told me that indiscriminate use of elements would cause elemental necrosis, I hadn't practiced any other magical element. I remember using a fire-based magic [Little Fireball Technique] in the Shadow Forest. The destructive power looks OK, eh."
Erica snorted, "What does OK mean?" Erica asked, confused. Xingling touched Erica's cute hair and explained, "OK is our unique language, called English, OK means good. ”
Erica glanced at the colorful fish in the pool and said something that made Xing Ling cry and laugh: "Wow, I think those fish are just as OK as you."
When noon came, Star Zero took Erica's hand and walked in the cafeteria. At the beginning, there were always some people in the cafeteria who came to Xingling for trouble, but later they knew that Gu Feng Meinan was his roommate, and almost all of them hid far away.
There were more and more people in the cafeteria, and Xing Ling finally squeezed in, and finally Xing Zero was lined up. Star Zero hit Erica's favorite dishes of fried meat with eggplant and tomato fish. He is like a couple in his previous life, every time he goes to the end of class, he will help their loved ones run to the crowd and shout, and beat the best meals.
Star Zero happily hit two plates of Erica's favorite food, usually only one can be hit, but today he can get two. Star Zero was very happy today, at least in terms of cooking.
Xingling came to the table where Erica was sitting with the food, Erica had already beaten the rice that the two of them were going to eat, and was using her mouth to help Xingling cool down.
Erica said, "Sit down, this rice has just come out of the oven, it's so hot" Xingling said worriedly, "It didn't burn you, did it?" Erica honestly reached out and gave Star Zero a touch and a touch.
After enjoying a delicious lunch, the two of them were about to walk out of the cafeteria. A rough voice sounded: "The two in front of me will stop" Xing Zero thought it was telling others to stop and didn't care, and kept moving forward.
Suddenly, a pair of big hands grabbed Star Zero directly. Xing Ling looked back and saw that he was a very fierce-looking person, who looked like a third-grade old student. Star Zero sensed something was wrong and jerked him away.
The stout old student was suddenly reacted quickly, and suddenly he didn't stand firm and took a step back, letting go of Xing Zero.
A crowd of onlookers quickly gathered around him, and one person shouted, "Isn't this the third-year boss Manas?" and someone next to him said, "What boss Manas? Isn't it just that he has a senior brother who ranks in the top 10? What is there to pretend?" Someone whispered to him: "You have a quieter voice, who doesn't know that he bullies men and women, and when he sees a beautiful woman, he beats his boyfriend and snatches it." Ordinary people can't stand him and will give in to him."
Star Zero saw that he had been looking at Erica, and he already understood the general situation. Star Zero observed his mana fluctuations and thought of a countermeasure. From the theoretical learning of these days, even without the teaching of magic in actual combat, Star Zero has learned how to use magic in actual combat with his natural intelligence and inhuman efforts.
Star Zero quickly calculates the opponent's magic level based on the frequency, range, and amplitude of the opponent's mana fluctuations and elemental oscillations. Xing Zero is still a high-level mage apprentice, and there is a 3-order Warcraft Xiao Hei, if the other party is only a junior mage intermediate level, he can still fight, if it is a high-level or even intermediate mage, Xing Zero is not easy to fight.
While thinking of a way, Xing Ling calmly asked, "This senior, is there anything wrong?" Manas said: "I have a crush on your girl, you get out, she is not allowed to leave."
The person next to him discussed: "This person really ate the gall of the ambitious leopard, the ancient beauty man has just walked for less than two months, and he began to jump." I really hope that the ancient beautiful man will come back at this time and see how he dies."
Xing Ling said solemnly: "Although you are a senior in the third year, you can't bully newcomers like this, right?" Manas smiled: "What do I need your guidance for? I just see that you are not happy, I will you, what? What do you see?
Star Zero is really a little angry, Erica is his reverse scale, and almost everyone in the school knows this. Xing Ling said: "What's your name?" Next to her, Erica held Xing Ling's hand tightly and pulled it, meaning "Forget it, let's just go".
Erica is really worried that Xing Ling will be injured again, since the last time Xing Ling was seriously injured for him, she has been distressed for a long time, and she makes porridge for Xing Ling to eat every day, and specially bought a magic crystal rice cooker powered by magic crystals, which is precious.
Star Zero said to Erica: "Don't be afraid of him, who dares to tease you, I will make him pay the price with my own hands" This is the blood and dignity that a man should have, Star Zero said in his heart.
Manas spat disdainfully in the direction of Xing Zero and said, "You deserve to know Uncle Ben's name?" "Wow, this must be a fight" shouted the onlookers next to him. Someone started to heckle again, "Fight, fight!" "Cut him, can you bear him bullying him like this?" Many of the onlookers were freshmen, and they really couldn't stand the fact that the seniors often bullied them.
The light is to run errands to buy iced drinks and popsicles in the magic crystal drive refrigerator, and the heavy is to rob girlfriends, collect protection money, and so on. They need someone to step up and be the boss, and they need someone to speak up for them. They want to resist! Protest! Protest!
The stars are on fire because he vomits Erica. Star Zero asked Erica to sit on the chair next to her, squatted down and looked into Erica's eyes and said, "Honey, you sit for a while, I'll go out for a while." Erica looked at his determined eyes and replied gently, "Be careful, don't get hurt." Your injuries aren't completely healed. "I will, don't worry. Star Zero replied softly.
The pent-up emotions in Xingling's heart for a few months are about to explode, and now it is just a fuse. Unfortunately, Manas was the one who detonated the fuse.
Star Zero and Manas came to the training ground. The training ground is a large circular arena that is usually used for training magic, and sometimes for individuals to settle their grievances. Sometimes it's not easy to grasp the degree, and occasionally there will be fatalities, so there is basically no one to duel in the training ground.
Erica sat in the audience at the Ring Arena and sweated for Starzero. Although Manas does not learn and has no skills, after all, after two years of formal study in the Academy of Magic, although he has practiced more proficient in all aspects of magic, whether it is the use of magic or the analysis of magic fluctuations in actual combat, he is more than one level better than that of newcomers.
The number of people on the stage continued to increase, and after a while, the news of the duel between Star Zero and Manas had spread throughout the Imperial Academy of Magic. The whole school rushed to the training ground, just in time for the meal, and the food in the cafeteria that had not had time to finish was thrown away, and there were more leftovers than before.
At this time, a friendly commentator appeared on the stage, shouting with a beginner amplification magic: "Everyone's attention! Everyone pay attention! This is Laika's exclusive commentary channel, the duel is that the two sides are Star Zero and Manas, one is a genius struggling boy, everyone knows that Star Zero is a twelve-minute hard-working boy in school, and once maintained a record of studying until 5 o'clock in the morning every day of the week, and is still the record holder. The other is the third-year standing corner Manas, who has been studying magic for two years at the Academy of Magic, and his dueling opponents have all dropped out of school due to cripplement. ”
Erica was even more worried when she heard him say this, she was not very nervous, but now her hands were full of sweat. "Star Zero, don't have anything, you must come on!" Erica said worriedly.
Laika shouted again, "Now Star Zero, please play!Where's the cheers?!" "Woohoo!woooo The whistle rises and falls.
"Come, scream!" "Whoa, whoa!!" "Manas snatched Erica!" "Dog, don't disgrace your classmates and kill this arrogant freshman!"
It seems that this is an unavoidable battle, a doomed battle between freshmen and seniors. Everyone's hearts are full of sullen breath for this period of time, everyone is full of bitter water, and the contradiction between the senior and the junior is about to erupt in this duel between Star Zero and Manas!
The Storm Thunder Eagle over the Imperial Capital was constantly circling, as if it was cheering for the blood-boiling duel of the Academy of Magic. The hormones and passions of the young man were on the verge of a decisive battle, and an atmosphere of rage and impatience spread throughout the Academy of Magic. Many of the freshmen have been completely crazy and shouting the name of Star Zero, as if Star Zero is their savior. The old students are also cheering for Manas, hoping to suppress the rebellion of the new students.
The battle was about to break out, and the two people had walked from 10 meters away to the center of the arena at a distance of 5 meters, and the restrained magic fluctuations of the two people had begun to swing, and ripples began to spread to the outside of the field. Star Zero struggled to mobilize the elements around him, trying to maximize his magic fluctuations to be more powerful and stable. The magic fluctuations of the two people finally met between the two people, and the sound of collision kept ringing, like the sound of electricity striking. The atmosphere in the stadium was out of control, and the frantic crowd was throwing colored bars, clapping, and singing war songs.
The streets of the Imperial Capital were still so bustling, and the vendors heard the shouts of joy in the magic academy from a distance, and they looked up at the terrible magic fluctuations coming from inside, shook their heads, and ran to the next sales point, leaving only sweat dripping on the granite roads of the Imperial Capital.
