Chapter 21: Triathlon
"Ding!" the game began. Everyone in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info hurriedly returned to their own academy.
There are several magic crystals on the platform, arranged separately according to the different attributes of each system. Each crystal is spaced more than two meters apart to prevent the influence of magic elves of different attributes.
Each of the five houses sent a student to the stage, with Sophia leading the way in the Wind Academy, as she had a large reserve of magic and was proficient in this little skill. Letting her take the lead can boost overall morale.
The first batch of students on the field were all ready, and with an order, the students of each department controlled the magic elves to inject into the crystal. To Bert's surprise, the crystals were not filled up as quickly as he had hoped. Even the magic crystals of those high-level magicians were growing very slowly, and it seemed that the concentration of these magic crystals was very high, and they could store a lot of magic elves.
A quarter of an hour had passed, and quite a few mid-level magicians were already sweating on their foreheads. Two quarters of an hour had passed, and two of the students had stopped casting, and the magic crystal in front of them had only been infused with a tenth. After another quarter of an hour, most of the students also stopped, and only Sophia and Rushumar were left on the field.
What made everyone feel strange was that this inconspicuous mid-level magician could be on par with the top students of the Fire Academy. And the magic crystal in front of them had been infused with two-fifths.
The magisters of each college glanced at each other, and both Lan Dao and Melmont had a proud look on their faces, but Melmon had a little more dissatisfaction on their faces.
He didn't expect that there would be such a figure in this year's competition wind academy besides Bert. He didn't know what other people were capable of, but he knew exactly what Rushumar was capable of. Even if it is not the strongest in the academy, it can at least squeeze into the top ten. In his opinion, Lan Dao was deliberately suppressing Sophia's magic level so that a mid-level magician could humiliate him.
In fact, he really blamed Lan Dao, Sophia didn't deliberately suppress the magic level and not rise, but really couldn't get up. Sofia didn't play four years ago, so most people haven't seen her. Sophia is very untalented when it comes to new magical realizations. Especially after reaching the advanced magic, a string of more than forty mouthful pronunciations gave her a headache. As a result, she simply stopped learning, plunged headlong into the ocean of magical knowledge and never came out again, no matter how Lan Dao persuaded her, it was useless.
But God is fair, he didn't give Sophia the talent to comprehend advanced magic, but he gave a very thoughtful gift.
Obsessed with magical knowledge, Sophia is unmatched in her proficiency in low-to-intermediate magic, and she can even release mid-level magic in silence. In this respect, she is no different from a high-ranking magician. And because she usually releases mid-to-low-level magic, the magic consumption is very small, which leads to a surplus of magic in her body, and more and more magic elves in her body, even surpassing the vast majority of high-level magicians.
Sophia on the platform looked calm, there should be a lot of magic spirits in her body. On the other side, Rushumar's face had already begun to deteriorate. In fact, if he tried to control the magic elves with his heart, he would not necessarily lose in the end.
It's a pity that the people in the Fire Academy are all short-tempered. Seeing that an intermediate magician had a draw with him, his competitive spirit immediately came up. Before adjusting the state, he immediately increased the speed of mana injection.
Anyone who has ever run a long distance knows that the most important thing in long-distance running is not speed, but the allocation of one's physical strength, which is to adjust the frequency of breathing control. Russimal had already consumed a lot of physical strength, and in a fit of rage, he accelerated the consumption of magic. The aura was instantly disordered, and a large number of magic elves overflowed.
The outcome was decided, and Russimal immediately adjusted his breathing, but the magic elves were already in a mess. Forcibly suppress the magic elves who are bumping everywhere, fortunately the bottom of his body is good, otherwise he will be sentenced to the last place if the magic backs up.
"Senior sister, you are so amazing!" Sophia stepped down calmly, and Bert and Barlow immediately greeted her.
"Luckily, that guy messed up. Fire mages are fools. Such a direct speech also made Bert and Barlow break out in a cold sweat.
On the other side, Russimal was scolded by Melmon and hid at the back of the team.
In the second game, it was Bert's turn to play, and Barlow patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, believe in yourself." Bert nodded, straightened his clothes, and went on stage.
Joining him on the stage was Lucas, and it seemed that Melmont was going to suppress their Wind Academy in this game. Send the strongest directly to the battle.
With an order, everyone began to inject magic spirits into the magic crystal. Everything went smoothly at first, and the magic spirit in Bert's body quickly flowed towards the crystal. As the game reached the halfway point, Bert suddenly noticed that his amulet had moved. The amulet had been lying in his arms in a very low-key manner before, and he didn't pay much attention to it. For some reason, Obsidian suddenly started to heat up, which made Bert suddenly nervous.
Erin in the audience also noticed something unusual, according to Bert's usual level, she shouldn't have run out of mana so quickly, but now Bert is sweating profusely, so she doesn't have to worry.
He was taken aback by the dark magic spirits that slowly flowed from the obsidian amulet and began to gradually enter Bert's body. Under normal circumstances, there can only be one kind of magic spirit in a magician's body, why can dark magic spirits infiltrate into one's body?
Although he didn't know what was going on, Bert tried his best to stop the invasion of the dark magic elves, which immediately distracted him.
At this time, half of them had already chosen to stop, and Bert breathed a sigh of relief, at least he would not be eliminated. And looking at the magic elves in the crystal, there are already many more than them.
In expediency, Bert also stopped casting spells, which made Lucas feel strange. I heard that Bert was a magic genius before, and I thought it would take a long time to spend with him, but I didn't expect Bert to give up so early. A smile appeared on the corner of Lucas's mouth, and sure enough, seeing is believing and hearing is false. Listening to other people's blowing is actually a slightly higher level than the average magician.
After getting off the stage, Barlow and Erin all gathered around, "What's wrong?Did something happen?" Barlow was puzzled, he had seen the magic ability of the little junior brother in normal times, and it was common for him to release magic by leaping over the level, what happened today?
Bert forced out a smile, "It's okay, I'm just too nervous, the magic elves are a little messy, I'm afraid that it will fall short, so I'll stop first, anyway, it's not the last place." ”
Erin could see that Bert didn't want to say that Bert was good at everything, but he was too strong, and he always insisted on everything. Erin wanted to say something, but opened her mouth and gave up. Since he didn't want to say, it was useless to ask again, she knew Bert's character very well.
In the stands, Melmon let out a sneer. Lan Dao looked worried, he naturally saw Bert's performance, which was much worse than usual, and it didn't seem to be in particularly good shape. But now with Barlow in care, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Lucas walked off the stage with a proud face, and did not forget to show off to Bert before leaving the stage. However, he didn't get the first place, and Bert also noticed that the arcane mage who held out to the end on the stage was about the same age as them, but the crystal in front of him had been infused with at least half of it!
Erin explained, "This is the dean's first apprentice, the genius mage of the Arcane Department, Fario, who is the strongest in our academy. ”
There was no suspense in the third game, Eileen took the first place very easily, Passas and Barlow were not her opponents at all, and she held on for a while and then gave up.
According to the rules of the competition, all the magic crystals were marked with the names of the contestants and brought to the judges, and after the referee's decision, one earth student was eliminated because of the least magic power, and the remaining fourteen continued to participate in the next competition.
In the middle of the training ground was a large platform that would be used for the upcoming magic match. Now all the contestants are sitting there and at the same time starting to regain their mana. The referee on the side turned on the timer, and the hourglass kept leaking down.
Mana recovery is Bert's forte, and the previous experience of using the magic array to quickly absorb the magic elves allowed him to control the magic elves into his body more precisely, but his main task now is to expel the dark magic elves. After all, there are two kinds of magic elves in their bodies, who knows what will happen.
Minutes and seconds passed, and the five-minute hourglass had just been turned over, and both Eileen and Fario had finished. Two magical spirits of very similar colors surrounded them, which was a sign of abundant mana.
A few more minutes passed, and the three of Lucas, Barlow, and Sofia were done, but Bert was still silent. This made everyone even more puzzled, could it be that the magic genius who was so popular before was just a marketing ploy?
The five-minute hourglass was flipped again, and Bert finally opened his eyes, when in fact he had already replied to the first flip. It's just that because the dark magic elves are not leaving, it took Bert twice as long to send them back to the obsidian.
In the end, a mid-level mage of the water system was eliminated as the slowest.
The third race was held in an open area, with thirteen people taking turns. The frisbee is thrown by three high-level arcane magicians at the same time, and the frisbee infused with arcane magic will move irregularly, and the movement speed is particularly fast. If you don't cast fast enough, don't even hit the frisbee. The previous academy's best record was thirty frisbee hits to twenty.
Everyone waited at a distance of five meters from the shooting range according to the academy, and the contestants from the Arcane Department took the field first, as many students from other departments participated for the first time. It's advantageous for the Arcane department who are proficient in controlling items, and arranging to be the first to play is also to be a little fairer. But fairness is only relative.
