Chapter 9: Easy wins

"Hello, my name is Asher, please advise. On stage, Asher politely saluted Rick.

"Boy, I'm not interested in your name, before the game starts, hurry up and admit defeat, otherwise I won't show mercy once the fight starts, I like to see my opponent frightened in my attack." Rick looked at Asher and said arrogantly.

Yashu looked at this opponent speechlessly, and then shook his head, if he admits defeat in the first game, even if he is not expelled from the academy when he goes back, he will probably be bitten to death by Ellie, and I don't know what Ellie's teeth are made of, the teeth are so good, and being bitten by Ellie feels like being bitten by a seventh-order demonic beast giant tooth crocodile. Asher thought helplessly.

"Hmph! Don't eat and drink in a toast, in that case, don't blame me for being ruthless, but don't be surprised by my ability. Rick looked at Asher and said lightly. As he spoke, his body slowly changed to the same color as his surroundings, and then completely disappeared from people's sight.

"Wow, it's really gone, I don't feel it at all, this guy called Asher is really unlucky, he met Rick in the first game. The students watching the battle around them were shocked when they saw Rick's magical ability.

"Oh? The ability of the stealth system, although it is very rare, it is a pity that it can be perceived. Asher looked straight ahead and muttered. Saying that, the right hand that burned the flames condensed a purple flame spear and threw it towards the right front, and the purple flame spear of the "Red Lotus Flame Spear" suddenly turned into a flash of lightning, burst out, and blasted in the direction of the front, only to see that the empty place instantly showed Rick's figure. At this time, Rick's figure was extremely funny, and he was carrying his hands behind his back, as if he was going to play some tricks on Asher, but at this time, a purple flame spear was stuck in front of him. He made his form appear in the light of the flames.

"What's the matter with this guy, can he see Rick?" the spectators in the stands said strangely when they saw Ashur's blow.

Rick on the test table looked at the flame spear inserted in front of him, and couldn't help but show a panicked look, and muttered: "A coincidence, it must be a coincidence" As he spoke, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his body disappeared again.

"Oh, aren't you still throwing in the towel?" said Ashur as he looked at Rick, who had disappeared again.

"It was just an accident just now, and it depends on my strength to make me admit defeat. Rick's voice rang out somewhere.

"Hmm, do you think it was an accident?" Asher smiled as he looked in the direction Rick was moving.

"Hmph! Rick said cautiously around behind Ashur, seeing that Ashur did not react, he immediately stepped towards Ashur's back, but just ran two steps, a purple magic array suddenly lit up under his feet.

"Oh no," Rick yelled, trying to escape from the magic circle, but it was too late. A purple pillar of fire rose from the magic array, and it blew Rick out of the test bench.

"Okay, that's it. Ashur clapped his hands and smiled at the referee.

The referee teacher couldn't help but look surprised when he saw Ashur defeat Rick so simply, and after a few moments, he announced, "The winner is Ashur...... ”

Rick, who was knocked off the field, looked incredulous, as if he didn't think he would lose so easily.

At this moment, the students in the audience were also surprised, and after a few seconds, everyone couldn't help but exclaim: "How is it possible! A coincidence must be a coincidence, how could this Ashur, who is absent from school every day, kill Rick in seconds, Rick was the top 16 last year, and he was killed in seconds! Impossible! Impossible! The surrounding students screamed again and again, and they couldn't believe that Ashur was so powerful.

"Finish the day. Asher stretched and said lazily. As if nothing had happened, Shi Shiran walked off the test table.

However, the eyes of the people around him who looked at Asher had changed, from the initial contempt and jealousy to the current horror and doubt.

Like Asher, Chloe and Vermeo won the competition, both of them reaching the sixth tier, which was considered the best among the students. The win was also expected.

In the following days, Asher, Chloe and Vermeo also won the race.

Ashur's opponents in the game, most of them were defeated by Ashur in three or two, and then the students of the academy believed that Ashur's strength was indeed amazing, and he was not a soft persimmon, and he was lucky enough to win one or two times but he couldn't win so many times all the time, there were not so many accidents in this world, and Ashur had become a dark horse in the qualifying competition in the academy. The gambling house outside the academy also secretly opened a market to bet on who would make it to the quarterfinals between Ashur and Carter, but surprisingly, there were still not many people who bought Ashur to win.

At this time, in the guild, "You said that the gambling house outside the academy has opened a market for me and Carter. Asher looked at Ellie in surprise.

"yes, every year there are people outside the academy's qualifying rounds. It's just that this time the handicap is about you. Elle looked at Asher and explained.

"Does the academy care about this kind of bad behavior?" Ashur said as he looked at Ellie.

"How can the academy manage this kind of thing, after all, the laws of the empire do not prohibit gambling, and besides, the biggest hobby of those imperial nobles is gambling, even if it is banned, it is useless, you can't catch them all" Elle looked at Asher and said indifferently.

"That's right, right, what about my odds?" Asher asked, looking at Ellie.

Looking at Ashur, who showed a puzzled look, Vermeo suddenly smiled and said: "Your odds, if Carter wins, the odds are twenty to one, and your words are one to twenty." ”

"What! My odds are 20 to 1, and these bastards in the gambling house look down on me too much. Ashur said angrily when he heard his odds.

"This is normal, although you have passed all the way, but you have not encountered too strong opponents, although some students who have seen you play with their own eyes have a high opinion of you, but those gamblers have not seen you play with their own eyes, in terms of record, Carter is naturally better. Vermeo looked at Asher and explained.

"Even so, the odds are outrageous, it's like I'm a waste. Asher looked at Vermeo and said speechlessly.

"You don't have to be angry, you might as well tell you that even if you lose 20 and you still don't win much, because everyone thinks that although you are also very good, you will never be able to beat Carter. After all, Carter made it to the quarterfinals last year. The odds of 20 are still up to you if you beat Rick. Vermeo looked at Asher and explained.

"Damn! Gambling with me is even a matter of deception! By the way, where is the gambling house, I'm going to buy it and win it myself." Asher looked at Vermeo and said angrily.

"The gambling house is in the south of the city, that's what you're for. Ellie looked at Asher with disdain.

Asher: "...... Well, why don't you make money for nothing, although I don't like gambling, but I don't know the result is called gambling, and the predictable result is called investment. ”

"If you want to buy it, hurry up, we won't go with you." Elle looked at Asher lazily.

"Oh, aren't you together, why don't you go and make some money at the gambling house when you know I won't lose to Carter?" Asher looked at Ellie and wondered.

"We're done buying, we spent 5,000 gold coins to buy you to win, this is all the property of the guild, if you dare to lose, you will die. Ellie looked at Asher and said lightly.

Asher: "...... You guys."
