"Feed the darkness and go!"

As Ivan uttered his last words, Ficheno fell to the ground and curled up in a ball, completely motionless.

It was already dusk, and it was cloudy, and the sky was extremely dark, and I couldn't see the situation in the stadium clearly.

"How's it going?" Alan asked, noticing something unusual. Not only the atmosphere in the venue, but even Alyssa suddenly stopped talking.

But Alyssa didn't answer, just opened her mouth slightly, and stared at it for a long time.

"What the hell is going on?" Cynthia asked.

He ...... Dead ......" After a moment of hesitation, Alyssa finally spoke.

"Dead?" Several people were taken aback when they heard the news.

"Hmm...... Ivan killed him......" Alyssa nodded, "I didn't hear the incantation chanted, but ...... It's really Ivan's hand......"

Although Ficeno was full of evil, and it was deserved to die here, when he heard the news that someone had died, everyone's hearts were still clouded.

"Really...... Is it dead?" Alan still couldn't believe it.

This time, before Alyssa could answer, the referee's voice was already ringing: "Winner, Ivan Lavin!"

Then I saw a black shadow flash over the referee's bench, and two of the staff members moved from the stands to the field. One of them used a levitation charm to move Ficeno to a corner of the arena, and the other used an arson charm......

A burst of fire rose......

"Burned ......" Seeing this scene, Alan finally confirmed that Ficeno was indeed a corpse......

The one who died was obviously an enemy, but Alan had some bad feelings in his heart...... He couldn't say why.

"The four people who have advanced to the semi-finals are: Alan Paterna, Frey Wagbin, Alyssa Dalke and Ivan Lavin!" the referee's voice came, calmly as if nothing had happened just now, "Next, the matchup for the rematch will be announced!"

Since it was almost dark, the referee simply lit the words in mid-air.

"In the rematch, I'm going to play against Senior Frey...... Alyssa is going to fight Ivan?" Alan chuckled in his heart after seeing this, and couldn't help but look at Alyssa with some concern.

But Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief: "Just what I want......"

"You ......," Alan said again.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. "And, it's a good opportunity...... Opportunity to help you clear the way. ”

"Hurry up and make sure to finish all the matches in the semi-finals before dawn. The final will start at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon!" said the referee, "Then, the two sides of the first group will now be able to enter the field!"

Hearing this, Alan and Frey looked at each other, nodded to each other, and walked to the center of the field at the same time.

"Say hello, like the seniors did. Frey said. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to start fighting.

Alan was a little puzzled, because the "greeting" that Frey spoke of was actually a very old etiquette between magicians, a ritual that would be performed before the mutual exchange and had been abandoned for a long time.

Prior to the First Age, there were no so-called schools of magic on the continent, and the way to learn magic was limited to visiting a teacher. In order to improve efficiency, and for the sake of safety, someone often needs to cooperate in the process of learning and practicing magic, so whether it is a master or apprentice or a classmate, a blood relative or a friend, before starting to practice or learn, they will take out each other's magic carriers and gently touch each other to show friendship, and also to remind each other not to go too far, so as not to accidentally injure each other. Over time, this was preserved as a ritual and etiquette.

It's just that this simple ritual has been abandoned since I don't know when, as if people in this era are very impatient.

Although he didn't know what Frey wanted to do, Alan agreed. Because he knows that Frey is a fair and honest person, and he will never use this as a trap to do something unexpected.

"Please advise. Since the Tears of the Sky hung around his neck and it was difficult to take them off, Eren took out his Wand of Stealing and held it at a forty-five degree angle to the ground, then closed his eyes.

This is a sign of a complete abandonment of vigilance.

Frey similarly pulled out his wand and stacked it cross-legged with Alan's.

But soon Alan sensed something unusual......

"This magic ......" Alan opened his eyes in surprise to find that Frey's magic was flowing to the Wand of Stealing.

Despite being a simple contact, the Wand of Stealer's ability to actively absorb mana remains the same......

"Senior Frey!" Seeing this, Alan immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, but was stopped by Frey.

"Just take it...... "It's a gift for you." ”

Alan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Frey had already thought about doing this in the first place......

"Senior...... You ......" Alan was vaguely aware of Frey's intentions.

"Yes, send you a promotion. Frey opened his eyes as well, "This is a congratulatory gift...... I wish you all the best of luck in winning the championship. ”

"Why...... You're much better than me!"

"No, no, no, this is a battle that only you can handle...... It's also a battle that's just for you. Frey said, then glancing in Alyssa's direction: "You also saw what happened just now, except for you, other people's abilities have no chance of winning in the face of 'darkness'...... Of course, even she was the same. ”

"But...... As long as you can get rid of the distractions in your mind, maybe your magic will work......"

"Huh...... You're still as naïve as ever......" Frey smiled and said, "This kind of thing can't be done by opening your mouth......

Alan was silent after hearing this.

"I know what's hidden in my heart. "I felt early on that I was in two different states when I was around you and when I wasn't...... I have to say, this feeling is really strange......"

The eyes are facing each other.

"I used to be impulsive, my obsession with power was almost to the point of a pathology, I wanted to do my best in everything, I wanted everyone to agree that I was the best...... Of course, it also made me feel very tired, and many times I felt like I was going to collapse......" Frey said, "but now I feel completely different...... Although this feeling is vague, my sister also said that I have changed a lot in more than a year...... If you think about it, it's probably because of you......"

Alan listened quietly.

"Since the last time I fought you, I've felt as if something has been exorcised and made me feel more relaxed than ever," Frey said...... "Even though I still feel agitated and melancholy from time to time, I can really get rid of that emotion...... Thank you very much ......"
