"I was so careless, I was ambushed!" Leo thought with some chagrin.

In fact, the best way to deal with magic that can be channeled and locked by psychic power is to flash it when it arrives in front of you. In this way, you will not have to suffer any damage at all.

And this kind of approach, although the requirements for the caster's abilities are very high, but with Leo's current level, it is not too difficult, he dare not say that he is 100% sure, but more than 98% can still be ensured.

It's just that......

In this way, Karurugarda will be exposed to the fireball, and Leo doesn't know if it can resist the power of the fireball, or if there is any other way to deal with it, so it is the most important

At the juncture, it was decided to help it block the threat.

Even if you are injured, it is better than losing your guide in this completely unfamiliar environment.

Fortunately, the enemy's fireball was not very powerful, and apart from a slight concussion, it did not bring any substantial damage.

And the long-term combat experience has allowed Leo to launch a counterattack before he can get rid of the fire.

In a few moments, it didn't take much analysis for him to guess who the enemy was.

If it was a mage sent here by the academy, it would be impossible for him to launch an attack on himself, and the fireball technique just cast by the enemy had an obvious primary amplification effect, and this skill could not be mastered by the spider demon.

So there is only one answer, the person who attacked himself must be a contestant.

But even if it is a competitive relationship now, but no matter how you say it, they are all classmates, and the other party actually used the fireball technique with super magic skills as soon as they came up, and there is no doubt that they want to send themselves back to the academy directly. So Leo, who has always been good-tempered, is inevitably a little angry and casts a counterattack magic. It's also a powerful fireball technique.

As the light of the fire disappeared, the figure dozens of meters away gradually became clear, and it was indeed a senior student of the students, but Leo had never seen him before. And beside that person, there is also a spider demon, who seems to have experienced the same things as Leo.

Not only did noticing his fireball work. The opponent's fireball came in an instant, and the senior student looked a little flustered. After all, not every student has such a wealth of combat experience as Leo.

He hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth and shouted a syllable.

"Click!" sounded like a glass shattering, and a crystal necklace around his neck shone brightly, then turned into shards, condensing into a curtain of light around him.

Immediately after, the fireball was already under the control of Leo's mental power and reached the target point.

"Bang!" The same flame exploded as before, but it failed to break through the light curtain. Completely isolated.

Leo had already determined that he had to consume a magic item in order to prevent his life from being judged to be threatened by the nameplate.

"I can't even cast magic and can only rely on magic items?" Leo shook his head secretly, already having a basic understanding of the enemy's strength.

Just as he was about to continue the attack and give this high-ranking student who had sneaked up on him some unforgettable lessons, the nameplate suddenly emitted a burst of heat.

Knowing that this was another task given by the academy, Leo didn't dare to be careless. I can only slow down the attack for the time being, while maintaining vigilance. While motioning to Kalulugada not to act rashly, he quickly pulled out the mission card and looked at it.

At the same time, the senior student in the distance also took out his card, and it seemed that he had also received a task.

"Branch Mission, Narrow Path: Meet the No. 3 Contestant of the Tryouts. Leave a magic mark on the opponent's mission card, and the winner will be rewarded with the corresponding score in the final score of the tryout, and the loser will be deducted points. In addition, this task does not limit the means and methods, and is a non-mandatory task. Entrants are free to choose whether to proceed or not. This quest expires after completing step 4 of the main quest. ”

Seeing this side quest, Leo was stunned at first, but soon grinned again.

It seems that the academy is not averse to confrontation between contestants, and is even willing to give ratings as a reward. And if he had been asked to take the initiative to attack others before, he might have felt embarrassed. But since the other party did it first, and on the premise that he didn't receive the branch task, in this way, Leo didn't have any psychological burden to complete this branch task.

On the other side, the senior student also read his mission card, and his next move was still a little unacceptable to Leo. Because he turned around and beckoned his guide and began to run away into the distance!

"You're a senior student, I'm just a beginner!" Leo was a little disdainful, but he didn't want someone to sneak up on him at any time, so he quickly made up his mind, and also called out to Kalulugada and chased after him.

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

If there's one thing Leo is known for in the academy, it's definitely one of the running abilities.

The champion of the Tour of the Island, the all-time record holder, such a result is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

What's more, after leaving the underground, he rested for a while, and his physical strength was quite abundant, not to mention that senior student, even if he was an ordinary combat officer, he would not have a chance to run away.

After a short moment, the distance between the two had reached within thirty meters, which was already a rather dangerous distance.

Agilely dodging the magic cast by the high-level student and the spider silk spewed by the spider demon, Leo did not fight back immediately, he needed to maintain enough pressure to completely collapse the other party's psyche.

Hell in the event that guy gets mad and would rather destroy the nameplate himself and return to the academy than leave a magic mark on his quest card.

The distance is still shortening, twenty-five meters, twenty meters, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached about ten meters.

The senior student suddenly stopped, panting and shouting, "Surrender, I surrender!" As long as you don't destroy my nameplate, I'm willing to let you leave a magic mark on the mission card!"

"Oh, surrender?" Leo paused, looking at the other in surprise.

As soon as the words fell, a coldness flashed in the senior student's eyes, and his mouth burst out one syllable at a time.

"Zheng!" Like a sharp sword being pulled out of its scabbard, the black ring on his hand shot out a black cone of light at a speed beyond the naked eye, instantly piercing Leo.

"Little one, aren't you very powerful, aren't you just ......" The senior student didn't finish speaking, but suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong. (To be continued.) )
