In contrast, the threat of flames was significantly smaller than that of the Magic Giant Crossbow, so Leo had no choice but to resist the flames and dodge the locks of the Giant Crossbow.

And at a glance, he already recognized that the figure that jumped down was the girl who ran away when he met him before.

In the flames, the girl moved freely, as if she had not been affected at all, much to Leo's surprise.

"It seems that there are no ordinary people who came to participate in the tryouts. He just had such an idea, but he found that the girl had a necklace around her neck, and the red gem on it was constantly absorbing flames, which turned out to be a powerful magic equipment that could protect her owner from flames.

In order to avoid the lock-on of the magic crossbow, the girl chose the same position as Leo. She was taken aback when she saw Leo here.

Leo hurriedly raised his hand, indicating that he had no malicious intent.

The girl glanced at him vigilantly, then took out a magic scroll and activated it.

In the blink of an eye, the girl's body became light, and strange runes lingered around her.

Leo suddenly realized that she was disappearing from his perception, barely able to distinguish it with the naked eye.

"What kind of magic is this?"

From the fluctuation of mana, Leo could vaguely perceive that this should be a high-level magic, but he had never seen it before, and he had never heard of it.

The next moment, the girl did something that surprised him even more. This guy actually pulled out two more scrolls and activated them all.

"Whew!"

Under the influence of some force, the flames around the girl were empty, and she began to climb the inner wall with agility, and disappeared after a few seconds.

She ...... Not discovered by the magic array?" Leo grinned, suddenly realizing that he had forgotten something very important.

Magic equipment and magic scrolls are also part of magic, but they used to be to improve their true strength. Leo tries not to rely on external objects as much as possible.

However, not everyone thinks so, judging from the boys who were sent back to the academy by themselves before and the girls who just climbed over the inner wall, the other contestants who participated in the selection competition must have prepared a lot of magic equipment and magic scrolls.

And Leo himself, except for a few pieces of magic equipment that he usually carries, didn't even carry a magic scroll.

"Careless...... That's a lot of carelessness......" Leo sighed.

But now that the situation is like this, there is no possibility of changing, he can only accept it.

Shaking his head, he put the messy thoughts aside. Leo unleashed all his mental power, looking for possible loopholes in the defensive magic array. Right now, finishing the race is the only thing you need to focus on.

............

Five minutes later, Leo finally stood in the central square of the Khost fortress. It's just that unlike the girl next to him who doesn't seem to have changed much, at this moment he is disgraced and aggrieved, and he urgently needs to take a good rest and recover his seriously consumed physical and mental strength.

Derryman looked at the hourglass in his hand and said to Leo, "Twelve minutes and thirty-seven seconds." That's not a good result. However, if you don't use magic equipment and magic scrolls, you should be compensated accordingly when grading. ”

"Didn't use magic equipment and scrolls?" the girl looked at Leo in shock. Here, she didn't worry about being attacked, so she relaxed a lot. And the whole process has just been experienced. It was hard for her to imagine how a person who was level 4 like herself could enter the fortress completely on his own.

Deleman ignored the girl and said to himself, "Okay." Now that there are two more of you, you have an hour to rest and get acquainted with each other. ”

"Why do you need to get acquainted with each other?" the girl asked, a little confused.

Delhiman replied, "Because of the next task." It takes cooperation between you. ”

After finishing speaking, without giving the two of them a chance to ask, he waved his hand.

Immediately, an ordinary employee of the academy stepped forward and led the two of them to a building in the northwest corner of the fortress.

On the way, Leo took out the mission card, and the first step of the fortress phase has been completed, but the second step has not yet been opened, and it seems that it will not appear until an hour later.

After a while, Leo and the girl entered the building, and in the room, steaming hot food was ready.

These days, Leo can only eat the dry food he carries with him, and where can anyone stand it at the moment, he immediately rushes up and eats without an image.

In just five minutes, Leo had wiped out the hot soup and a kind of grain bread made of unknown meat.

Then he noticed that the girl was looking at him with a monster-like look.

"I'm so hungry, huh. Leo said embarrassedly, "You can eat it too, it tastes good." ”

The girl still didn't move, but asked, "You really didn't use magic equipment and magic scrolls?"

"No, I forgot. Leo smiled wryly.

The girl nodded, accepting Leo's statement, and then introduced herself: "My name is Charlene Ek, an advanced student, specializing in illusion. ”

"My name is Leo Minethiel, a junior major, majoring in plastic energy. Leo responded, also looking at the girl in front of him.

She looked five or six years older than herself, with a round face and a few freckles on her cheeks, which was not pretty, but her eyes were bright and smart, giving people a very smart feeling. And Leo clearly remembered that her number should be number 3.

"Of course I know you, big celebrity. Charlene Eck shrugged her shoulders and suddenly sighed again, "I'm sorry, but I might be dragging you down." ”

"Why do you say that?" Leo wondered.

Although the other party just entered the fortress through the magic scroll, but being able to be promoted to level 4 at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, the talent can also be said to be very good, how can it drag himself down?

Since Derryman said that the two would cooperate next, Charlene Eck completely let down her guard and told her story.

It turned out that she, like Sanders, came from a magic family, but she didn't show much magical talent since she was a child, and only relied on the family's secret methods to obtain the qualification to learn magic, and barely promoted to level 4.

Due to her lack of talent, she has always relied heavily on magical equipment and scrolls, and her level and the amount of magic she has mastered are also disproportionate.

"Actually, I also know that I don't have a chance to compete in the Lordaeron Championship with my strength, but I still want to give it a try and see how far I can go. She said in a low voice, "But you're really unlucky to run into a teammate like me." (To be continued.) )
