Section XXXI VII
The academy is in full swing. When the first twelve were announced, Bai Fan was also among them. With his excellent wind magic, he is also quite famous among his students, but what makes people puzzled is that his information clearly states that he is a light mage, but he uses the wind blade and dragon scroll from beginning to end. made many people suspect that he had hidden his strength.
Bill was smiling happily these days, and Bai Fan was victorious among the many high-level mages, which surprised everyone else. Before every ring, he would ask Bai Fan how confident he was. As an unfavored newcomer, Bai Fan made a fortune, and with the gold coins obtained from betting on Barton, he can be regarded as a big winner. In Bill's own words, he took care of everyone's food this year.
Before this game, while everyone was there, Bill said, "I have already won the battle tomorrow against the boss and Bai Fan, do you think you are sure?"
Barton pondered for a while and said, "I think there should be no problem with the top six, but accidents are not ruled out." Glancing at Bai Fan, he continued: "For example, this time the second brother gave us a big surprise. I can't see the depth of him at all."
Bai Fan had already planned for a long time, the ranking of this competition was secondary, and it was good to only enter the top ten and get rewards. So he said: "You guys really praise me, but I really don't know what to do in tomorrow's game." Bill, you won't even press Bobby's rations together, I won't lose it. ”
Bai Wen smiled slightly: "It's not just him, I also suppressed you." But it's just a formality. Those who live in this independent area, which one does not press their own people wins. ”
Bill's face suddenly became bitter: "Third brother, what you said is too straightforward." The impression points that were earned with great difficulty were gone in an instant. ”
"They're not like us. Now that we are all brothers, it is not good to use these small means in secret. With half-squinted eyes, lying on the sofa on his back, Bai Wen, who maintained a Bai Wen-style smile, said very relaxed.
patting his stomach, Bill smiled: "That's true, but just because the rich second generation always buys their own people, I can earn so much this year." ”
The old god finished eating the takeout ordered by Bill, and the four of them went back upstairs to practice quietly.
The next day, the top 12 venues were not in the same place, and Barton took Bai Fan to the venue with ease. It was the pinnacle of a small hill, with a large platform with a long staircase on the side of the platform, and a row of tables on the staircase that looked like a place for the referee to stay. "This is where the game was today, it looks good. When Barton arrived at the ring, he looked a little excited.
Bai Fan looked back, his vision was very broad, the town where the academy was located loomed in the distance, it looked like a painting, but he was a little puzzled: "It's good, but why is there no one around, quietly?"
"Usually there are a lot of people here. But today there will be no outsiders, today it is all from our college. And even Principal Karlov will come. Barton replied.
Bai Fan was a little surprised, and thought to himself, "Karloff, I have been at the school for a few months, and today is the first time I have heard the principal's name. I don't know how?"
It didn't take long for the stands to be full, and Bai Fan saw from a distance that Brooke was also on it. Sitting in the middle was an old man, wearing a pointed wizard's hat, a gray robe, a white beard, and a kind face, who looked like a Gandalf. "This should be Headmaster Karloff, I don't know anyone else. Bai Fan thought, "In order to avoid trouble, I'd better keep a low profile." Bai Fan, who is used to using mental power to investigate when he sees people, is still a little unaccustomed to not using mental power, but in case he is detected by Karloff, he still endured it.
In the next competition, Bai Fan was cautious, for fear that he would be found out if he used more strength than he should be. In the first round of the draw, he met Alvin, a wind mage who had long dominated the number one place in the academy. The two sides tried to do it, and Bai Fan found that the other party was nothing more than that. Using his * control of magic, seeing that he was about to break the magic shield on the opposite side, Alvin unexpectedly took out his long-famous magic props, only to see that he held the shield in his left hand and the sword in his right, and intercepted Bai Fan's whirlwinds very easily. And he no longer stood still, but ran quickly, close to his body and stepped forward for hand-to-hand combat, * Bai Fan also had to dodge hard, and after fighting for a while, Bai Fan pretended to react slowly, and was broken by Alvin's sword with a sword. Losing control, when he came back to his senses, he was already outside the arena. He's been teleported.
Bai Fan exhaled deeply, when he was chased and slashed by Alvin just now, he was tired enough to act as clumsy as an orthodox mage. At this time, Barton saw him sighing, and immediately comforted: "Bai Fan, don't sigh either, everyone is the same when you meet Alvin." Even if the magic strength is higher than his, he has to admit it. I don't think you'll have a problem with at least the top 10. ”
He smiled at Barton and said, "Anyway, it's good that I'm in the top 10 for the first time." It's you, don't lose it, your brothers will laugh at you. ”
"That's not going to happen, it's my old rival who was in line with me in the draw just now. I know very well what he means, and there will be no surprises. "Barton was relaxed.
The day passed quickly, and the competition of the academy came to an end. Barton lived up to the expectations of his brothers and finished sixth. Bai Fan also easily defeated all his opponents in the losing group and finished in seventh place. While their whole dorm room was celebrating, there was something happening that was relevant to them.
"Do you think Bai Fan is doing his best?" said an old man, facing the wall, his voice low. "Or do you think Bai Fan is the person they are looking for?" Behind him stood a mage in robes, standing in the darkness with his hands tied, silent at this time.
The old man turned his head, and it was Karlov! His face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "We can't stop this matter, you and I are no longer in our hands, and the best result for this matter is to let Bai Fan be eliminated during the national competition." But if you can't stop him, don't do anything stupid. ”
The robed mage spoke, "After all, he is Sherlock's only disciple. Can you and I wake him up directly and make him abstain directly? A familiar voice came out of his mouth, it was Brooke, the tutor who had handled Bai Fan's admission!
Karloff waved his hand, a little frustrated: "No, let's not talk about what the people above will think if they do this." The point is, if Sherlock is involved, you don't want him to follow in our footsteps, do you? We people can only do our best to protect these old friends. We must not implicate more relatives because of the handle we have fallen. ”
Brooke's expression was gloomy, and his fist was clenched behind his back, but he finally gave up: "You're right, you can't implicate more people." Regardless of whether Bai Fan is the person they are looking for or not, we have done our best to protect him. After that, it depends on his own creation, and this time he is destined to suffer heavy casualties, I hope he can be smart enough.
