Chapter 9: Minor defeat

Alan didn't expect Metzny to call Kate to play with him.

Kate's strength is in the late stage of the fourth order, which is a step ahead of the original Allen, and he is good at offensive magic, and his actual combat ability is far better than that of the original Allen, who is good at healing, so it makes sense to send him out. It's just that Alan thinks very highly of himself, and he has already made plans to fight Metzny just now, but he didn't expect such a miscellaneous fish to come up in the end, and he will inevitably feel unhappy. Not to mention what Metzny said was asking Kate to 'point' herself...... As for Kate's miscellaneous fish, also matched?

Allen's mood was completely written on his face, Kate saw him like this, and looked down on people when he made a small improvement, smiled faintly at the moment, and pretended to be chic: "Allen, you may have made a lot of progress in the past half a month, but all of us are not standing still." You don't want to make a little progress and see no one in your eyes, you must know that in this world, a mountain is higher than a mountain. Admitting that skills are inferior to others is not necessarily cowardice, only by facing oneself can we continue to improve. ”

Kate's pretentious tone made Alan sneer: "You mean you're taller than me?"

"This is only known after comparison. Personally, though, I don't think you're my match. Kate snapped up.

"Alright! No more verbal warfare! Kate, Alan, you're here to compete. Alan, you have to look carefully, there is a gap between a combat mage and a healing mage. Hope this fight will help you. Metsny grew impatient and interrupted the two of them. In his opinion, people like Allen, who like to do research but have no practical experience, are not worth focusing on training at all. Not to mention that Allen's qualifications are not good. As for Allen's previous statement that there has been a breakthrough in half a month of recuperation at home, it is even more of a joke in Metzny's opinion. Behind closed doors, how can there be gains?

Alan and Kate walked to each side of the lab clearing. The distance between the two is only fifteen meters, and in such a short distance, the flexible use of small spells will be the key to victory, and the time for chanting spells is too long, which is not suitable for use in this situation.

After the two of them lined up on both sides, the group of students retreated to the side to watch.

Everyone whispered and discussed the odds of victory and defeat between the two, except for Julia, who had been taught by Eren in the morning, no one was optimistic about Alan, including Ye Daisy. Although Ye Daisy and Alan are very good, but Allen's strength Ye Daisy also knows, whether Alan can beat her or not, how can she win the top three combat mage Kate in the academy. Thinking of the ridicule that Eren might face after being defeated, Ye Daisy's heart was full of worry.

Julia looked straight at Alan. In her opinion, Allen should have a slightly better chance of winning than Kate......

"Are you ready?" Metzny said.

"Yes. ”

"Ready. ”

"This battle only focuses on the use of magic, not the use of terrain, and can only attack, resist, and dodge, but never hide behind a bonsai or bookcase. Now countdown to three, two...... One! Let's go!"

"Mage's Hand!" Kate recited the spell shortening, and the first-order magic of the Mage's Hand was unleashed by him.

A transparent palm phantom grabbed at Allen, Allen remained silent, and said "Ice Bullet", and the second-order magic ice bullet popped out of his hand. The ice bullet broke the mage's hand and attacked Kate. Kate is also preparing an attack spell at this time, but this spell requires more than twenty characters to launch, although Kate's strength is good, but it can only shrink the spell to seventeen characters, and when he reads the eighth character, Allen's ice bomb has already hit him.

'Why is this guy casting spells so fast!' Kate was startled when she saw Alan pronounce four characters and use the ice bullet technique. He dodged the ice bullet in embarrassment, and his own ice bullet spell was naturally interrupted.

Kate was about to recite the incantation when she suddenly felt several jets of water rushing towards her from all directions. Kate could tell at a glance that this was a third-order magic 'controlling water'. From the ice bomb just now to the current water control, it is only three or four seconds, and the spell of the water control spell has more than fifty characters, how can Eren shrink to three or four seconds to be able to recite it?

Kate felt panicked at this point, and his incantation was interrupted again.

Allen's 'water control' is to control the water to rush towards Kate in all directions, and in any direction she flees, she will be hit by this spell, Kate ran backwards without thinking about it, trying to widen the distance between the two.

At this time, the distance between the two people, even if it can only be five meters more, can have a great effect. Kate made the right choice...... It's a pity that he underestimated Allen's strength!

This time, it only took five or six seconds for Eren to finish the incantation again, and a blue halo appeared around his staff!

"Frozen Ray!"

The freezing ray hit Kate with unmistakable accuracy, freezing Kate, who was soaked in water, into an iceman! Except for her face, Kate's whole body was frozen into ice! His feet were even frozen with the water on the ground!

The freezing ray itself has the ability to attract water, and originally Kate only had a layer of ice one centimeter thick on her body, but when the freezing ray completely hit him, the ice became more than ten centimeters thick! Kate's entire body, including her head, was frozen in the ice!

'It's time, nirvana...... Ice Archery!' Allen played well, and instinctively used the killing move he had trained before!

The shape of the Ice Arrow is an ice arrow, the long arrow is silver and slightly blue, and it contains extremely powerful cold energy! When the ice arrow flew out of Allen's staff, the temperature of the entire laboratory dropped a few points!

As soon as the ice arrow left the staff, it flew towards Kate's throat. The reason why this magic is a third-order magic and not a fourth-order magic is because it doesn't contain much energy, and it can't reach the energy value of fourth-order magic, but that doesn't mean that its lethality is poor!

The 'Water Dragon Technique' in the third-order magic can control the activity of a twenty-meter-long and one-meter-thick water dragon, and the magic power contained in the ice arrow is the same as that of the water dragon, that is to say, the ice arrow spell is equivalent to compressing all the energy that drives the water dragon into an ice long arrow! Such a high concentration of compressed power makes this long arrow easily shoot through a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate!

If Kate is shot in the throat by this trick, she will definitely die!

Alan made a move, and then realized that something was wrong...... His own methods seem to be too ruthless.

Just as he was about to make amends, Metzny suddenly shot out a one-man high ice mirror and drove it to fly in front of Kate.

Allen's ice arrow hit the ice mirror and bounced back, Eren dodged slightly, and the ice arrow hit the wall behind him, and was shattered by the defensive magic painted on the wall. At the same moment, the ice mirror that bounced the ice arrow also shattered into ice slag on the ground.

The battle between Ellen and Kate is over!

Allen wins! Kate is defeated!

From start to finish, it took less than twenty seconds!

Alan uses the True Yuan Force as an introduction, and he can cast magic without reciting many spells, and his casting speed is only about half of that of a monk of the same level! Even if he doesn't use the strength of the fifth order, Kate is not his opponent!

This kind of spell casting speed, which can be fired once in the blink of an eye, stunned everyone around them! What a high level of skill proficiency it takes to cast spells so quickly!

The people who were still discussing the battle situation just now are all speechless with their mouths open!

Ye Daisy was still thinking about how to comfort Alan for a while, but she didn't expect that it was Alan who won in the end!

Julia's face was like ashes, Allen's spell casting speed was so outrageous, and I didn't know when she would be able to surpass Allen......

"Mentor Metzny, my strength can be improved to the first group, right?" Allen easily defeated Kate, and he was satisfied with his strength, so he smiled.

"Hmph, you think you'll make it to a group?"

"I've already beaten Kate?" Alan couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Metzny now felt a sense of shame in his heart. He just said that Allen's strength is not good, so he asked Kate to come out and 'instruct' Allen...... Who would have thought that in the end, it would be Allen who won! Allen didn't know when he practiced those few spells, but he actually had such a high level of magic proficiency, and he could actually shrink the spell so briefly! In front of Allen, who was ridiculously fast in casting spells, Kate didn't have the slightest ability to fight back! The most infuriating thing was that, judging from the breath just now, Allen's level was still in the middle of the fourth order! Allen in the middle of the fourth order actually defeated Kate in the late fourth order!

Allen defeated Kate so easily, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Metzny!

Annoyed, Metzny blushed and scolded: "If you don't cultivate well to improve your cultivation, you will instead study your magic proficiency, Alan, your talent is not good, and you are putting the cart before the horse like this, don't you want to advance anymore? Don't look at you winning Kate now, that's because you are not at a high level, and you can't use all kinds of high-level defense magic!" If you are both fifth-order, or both sixth-order, don't say whether you can use the fifth- or sixth-order magic so proficiently, even if you are proficient enough to reduce the spell and reduce the power of the spell's magic, it is not as good as the complete magic! At that time, you won't even be able to break Kate's defenses! Just practice like this, and you still want to enter a group? I don't think you need to enter any group! During this time, you should meditate in the Mage Tower, and think about what you are doing wrong! I'm here to say very seriously, if you continue to practice like this, you will be in the middle of the fourth order for the rest of your life!"

Without waiting for Alan to say anything, Metzny cast a 'snow melting technique' on Kate, flicked his sleeves, and left the laboratory with a black face.

As soon as Metzny left, the scene exploded.

"Allen's few spells just now are really amazing, the fight at the same level is simply incomprehensible, and I don't know how many times he practiced to have that kind of casting speed?"

"What's there to envy? Didn't you listen to Mentor Metzny? That's putting the cart before the horse! If he only cares about magic proficiency like this, it will be difficult for him to move up the ranks!"

"Also, it's really not cost-effective to give up the level in exchange for magic proficiency......"

Alan didn't seem to hear that. He looked with a gloomy face in the direction in which Metzny had disappeared, and there was a pang of annoyance in his heart.

Just now, I clearly said that if I had enough strength, he would let me enter the first group, but now he won't even let me enter the second group! Damn, I'm really rare? Isn't it just an adventurous mission? This old horseman won't let me go with the team, can't I go alone? When I'm done with the mission, a group of you will go and drink the northwest wind!"
