"What are you talking about?" Lan Dao's face was iron-clading, he had admitted defeat before the fight started, and it was a shame to say it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I'm teaching them how to fight. Barlow scratched his head in embarrassment, it seemed that the habit of scratching his head was contagious, and Barlow had learned it.

Lan Dao snorted and took the lead to leave, and the three of them lowered their heads and hurriedly followed. At this time, in another corner of the trial ground, two figures, one old and one young, were whispering.

"What do you say about this?"

"My father has left this matter to me, and my father means that if it can't be used to me, then—" The speaker gestured with his hand around his neck.

"Need to do this?" it was evident that the old man did not seem to approve of this approach.

"You don't want them to rise again, do you? You should know fairly well that you kept them pressed when they were weak, and now that's a different story. Do you think they will let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" the young man had a rather poisonous eye, and he could see at a glance what the old man was most worried about.

"I'll think about this matter again, you can go back first. The old man didn't seem to want to say more, and the young man bowed slightly and retreated into the shadows.

A day later, the Wind Academy of Magic.

"Bert, come here. Lan Dao, who was lying under the Taishi chair basking in the sun, didn't know where to greet casually, and Bert, who was training in magic battles on the side, stopped what he was doing and hurriedly ran over.

The weather had just begun to cool down, but the boy's forehead was still covered with sweat. "Master, are you looking for me?" the young man asked breathlessly.

The sunlight was still a little dazzling, and Lan Dao struggled to open his eyes, "Yesterday, the dean came to me and asked if you would like to join the Magic Research Institute after this competition." ”

"What is the Institute of Magic?" Bert found a small bench and sat next to Lan Dao.

"A department organized by their old fellows, a place dedicated to the development of new types of magic. Lan Dao paused, "I heard that the little girl who came with you was also invited." ”

"Okay, I'll go, do you have any money to make?" There was very little communication between the different colleges, and Bert rarely had the opportunity to go out in the Wind Academy. But it seems that he is more concerned with the latter issue.

"You're big! Don't you understand those guys? One by one, we Magisters have to pay out of our own pockets for a meal at a party. Lan Dao took the opportunity to vent his frustration.

"If you're willing, I'll tell the dean that you'll be going to the Arcane Academy every weekend from now on, and remember not to get me into trouble again. "Lan Dao still has lingering palpitations about the last time, this guy has a big brain, I really don't know what strange ideas he will come up with.

"Well, if nothing happens then I'll continue to practice. Bert smiled awkwardly.

"One more thing, are you proficient in the use of advanced magic now?"

"It's okay, basically there is no problem with the release, but the actual effect is still a little off, and sometimes it will not be able to aim at the target. ”

Lan Dao nodded, he had already been able to release high-level magic in less than a year after entering school, and he really didn't look away at the beginning. "Then come with me to the Magic Guild tomorrow. Take you to the next level and face as a high-level magician. "Although it usually seems that Lan Dao has no sense of competition, it is actually quite good-looking.

"Then let's go back first. After Bert walked away, Lan Dao seemed preoccupied, and always felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't say it.

On the day of the magic competition, the proving ground.

Bert, who was already a high-level magician, was obviously much more confident than before, and he no longer walked with his head down, and followed the team into the testing ground with a smile on his face. There were obviously more people coming to watch the battle today than before, after all, this was a real magic showdown, and it was a good opportunity for some new students to observe. Especially now that the Oslan Empire is at war with the Satya Empire, many magicians have been requisitioned by the army and incorporated into the regular army after graduating from school to go to the front. Watching this kind of real action may save their lives in the future.

After the dean said a bunch of opening speeches, the contestants waited for the competition under their respective platforms, and there were three rings in the proving grounds, so the first three groups of the first round started the magic competition at the same time. All three contestants from the Wind Academy will compete on stage in the first round. Barlow is number one, Sophia is number two, and Bert is number three.

Bert was faced with Davide, a senior mage of the water system, and all the students were able to get a detailed account of the contestants before the competition. The Davide standing in front of Bert was twenty-four years old. This year was also his last time in the competition, and he was full of confidence that he could easily win the competition even if he made the highest concessions to his juniors.

However, when he saw that Bert's magic level had risen to another stage in just three days, he immediately didn't dare to be careless. After all, he was also a high-level magician who had just arrived a few months ago, and he was also very unfamiliar with high-level magic. He thought that this junior, who was so much younger than himself, should have only just reached the intermediate level.

There was a "ding" sound, and the referee announced the start of the game. The two bowed to each other and immediately began their own chanting. At this moment, the audience outside the venue let out an exclamation, and some young students even blurted out a dirty word. The contestants in the arena also stopped casting spells and followed their gaze.

In the second ring, Sofia had already fallen to the ground! Fario, who was closest to him, was being treated, and even the referees on the court had not yet reacted to what was happening. It turned out that at the beginning of the game just now, Sophia and Fario used the method of silent recitation at the same time to release their best magic as quickly as possible. Sophia had been bouncing in the realm of low-to-mid-level magic for so many years, and almost in an instant, the various defensive spells of the wind system had been released. But just then, Fario's magic was done. To everyone's surprise, Fario actually released a high-level magic in the form of silent recitation! The "Arcane Barrage" instantly defeated Sophia's low-level shield, and Fario immediately stopped casting the spell, but it was still too late. Sophia fainted on the spot after being hit by the three-way "Arcane Barrage". Fortunately, after rescue, there was no danger to life.

Bertelo swallowed, is this the level of a real high-level magician? Sophia, who was only one level lower than him, couldn't even block a move, and was defeated in a moment. "Don't worry too much, it's rare to see a guy like Fario in a thousand years. Davide comforted Bert as he secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. I've only heard of Fario's power before, but I didn't expect it to be so strong, fortunately, I don't need to fight him in the third game, otherwise he doesn't think he can resist his attack for long.

Bert exhaled deeply and smiled at Davide in thanks. Both sides calmed down and began to concentrate on their battles.

The shock of the ring next door still lingered in their minds, and both sides had lingering palpitations. Very tacitly unleashed a variety of defensive magic "Water Shield!" "Wind Walk!" The two of them cast spells at a similar speed, and almost finished chanting the magic at the same time.

"Water Shield" is a decent opening skill for water mages, which not only provides good magic protection, but also speeds up the recovery of magic. However, Bert's "Wind Walk" is a rather unusual support skill, as it is generally used by the fighters in the team, increasing their movement speed and evasion ability.

Those who are familiar with Bert know that he is actually a very powerful warrior in his own right, but after entering the magic academy, he doesn't use many martial arts. But the battle instinct that was stimulated by that scene just now, he didn't have the confidence to take the magic released by a magician of the same level, and he would use speed to win.

Sure enough, after releasing the "Wind Walk", Bert continued to meditate on the "Wind Blade", the lowest level of the wind system, while the wind was under his feet, and he quickly approached Davide from the side.

The "Wind Blade" constantly hits the shield, and even the damage of the "Wind Blade" released by a high-level mage is very low. Davide had no fear that his shield would be broken. However, to his surprise, Bert did not take the opportunity to release high-level magic, but quickly approached him. The magicians had been attacking each other from a distance in battle, what was he going to do?In desperation, Davide had to stop the attack magic he was releasing and start chanting protective magic instead.

"Raging wind, transform into a powerful guardian!" Unexpectedly, it turned out that Bert deliberately approached him to trick himself into interrupting the spell. When the magic is interrupted, there will be a brief backlash, and on this occasion, Bert summons the high-level magic "Wind Elf".

Each magic attribute has its own natal spirit, and Davide, a high-level magician in the water system, can also summon the "water elemental", but it is too late to take the lead.

The wind elf quickly materialized in the air, and even those who had never studied magic could see the mid-level magic elf with a shiny blade. Unlike low-level magic elves, wind elves are self-aware and can harass enemies when the summoner unleashes other spells.

With a whistling, the wind elf rushed towards Davide with a pale yellow trail in the sky. A mage who has lost a safe distance simply cannot fight the wind elves. What's more, Bert in the distance was chanting loudly, apparently wanting to use high-level magic to end the battle quickly.

Davide unconsciously sweated, and the moment the Wind Elf's knife slashed down, the "Water Shield" erupted with tremendous energy, absorbing a large amount of impact. The color of the "Water Shield" that was slashed has become much more pale, and it can only withstand one more stab at most.

"Undercurrents, surround me!" a shout of rage, and Davide's high-level defensive magic, "Undercurrents", was completed. The "Undercurrent of Water" directly absorbed the residual energy of the "Water Shield", and the range skyrocketed instantly.

Unlike the Water Shield, which is purely defensive magic, the Undercurrent creates a rapid surge of water around the mage, causing a large amount of damage to melee attackers. Originally, it was intended to be used to defend against Bert's melee attacks, but now it is just right to defend against the attacks of the wind elves.

The situation on the field is balanced again. If Bert's next attack fails to break the "Dark Current", the Wind Elves will not be effective, and the two high-level magic releases will cost a lot of mana. Although Davide has a defensive advantage here, he simply does not have enough time to release the next magic, and if he can't block Bert's next blow, he will face the enraged wind elves with his bare hands.

Success or failure depends on this blow.
