Now, Linley was already close to reaching the peak of the second rank for warriors. Given that the strength of an ordinary warrior of the first rank was enough to raise a hundred pounds, a second rank warrior could easily throw around a hundred pounds of objects.
"You ... cough ... cough ..." Holding his throat, Rand coughed a few times, and then stared angrily at Linley. "You ... You really …"
"Yes!" Yale suddenly shouted out loudly, his face filled with excitement. “It feels so good. Third brother, I don't expect you to be that strong! ”
"The boy is quite small, but he is very strong …"
The magi of the fifth and sixth rank were all astonished. There were several magus instructors in the hotel as well, and they were all staring at Linley in surprise.
A child who appears to be twelve or thirteen can casually throw a 90 kilogram person with one hand.
And this young man was a magus!
"Hey, Rand, aren't you bragging about how you're number one among first graders?" Yale scoffed.
Rand's face flushed red, as her heart was filled with anger and shame. Staring at Linley, he shouted loudly, "You, are you a magus? If you have skills, compete with me using magic. What kind of behavior is that? The noble magus actually used the lowly skills of a warrior. "Rand was filled with anger and humiliation. He had just won an annual tournament for first graders, but just now, when Linley grabbed him and lifted him up, he was filled with a terrifying feeling that his life was in the hands of others.
“True, if you have skills, compete using magic! Are you even a student of the Ernst Institute? ”Rand's closest friends call support immediately.
But towards Linley, the four of them felt some fear in their hearts. Linley's amazing display of strength just now had shocked them.
"Magic?"
Reynolds immediately started laughing out loud, as he said arrogantly, "Rand, do you really believe that just because you won a first-class tournament, Rand, you know, You really are the strongest among first grade students? Dream . The number one first grade student is the third sister of our dormitory. Ye? Step to the side. ”
"Third brother, show your strength a little. "Yale urged too.
George had just been scolded by Rand, so right now, he wasn't looking to give Rand a face either. "Rand, let me tell you something. Know your own limits. Many experts in our school are not willing to participate in the annual tournament. Don't really believe that you are something special. ”
Rand's face grew worse and worse.
“You will know the truth during a duel. Rand, compete with them. ”The fifth and sixth graders called out laughing. They viewed the struggles of first-class children as nothing more than a humorous diversion.
After all, Rand was only ten years old, and had been called a genius since childhood.
Even at the Ernst Institute, he was among the top tier. When had he ever experienced such humiliation?
"Number one?" Rand out. "Number one is not something that is just proclaimed. It came through competition. If you have the ability, then join the duel with me. "Rand is very confident in his magic abilities. After all, he had won an annual tournament for first-rate students. ”
"Hey, why didn't this hotel manager come to calm things down?" Some of the spectators were shocked and curious about this.
Actually, the manager of the Huadeli hotel stood far away, but he did not want to interfere.
Because he recognized these students.
Even despite the fact that this was a student of the Ernst Institute, based on the status of these students, he did not want to anger them. Especially .. Yale.
"Young Yale is here? Ugh. Forget . He can do what he wants. Even if he destroys the entire hotel, it's none of my business. "The hotel manager rubbed and shook his head helplessly. He did not dare offend young master Yale.
And upon entering the Ernst Institute, Yale's status among his family only increased even more.
"Pronounced well. Number one is not self-proclaimed. It's won. "Linley stood up as well, her face cold as she looked at Rand. "Rand, if we're going to engage in a magical duel, let's make that interesting. If you win, when I see you in the future, I'll have to take the long road and avoid crossing paths with you. If I win, you need to do the same. ”
Rand can't resist scorn, “You call that interesting? When the loser met the winner, not only did he have to go a long way, he also had to give a hundred gold coins. How about that?"
Linley frowned.
A hundred gold coins?
He only had a hundred gold coins each year for living expenses. He is not as rich as some people.
"Ha huh! Rand, just a hundred gold coins? Aren't you embarrassed, say a number like that? How about this . Losers pay ten thousand gold. The accord? "Say Yale nearby loudly.
"Ten thousand gold?"
Upon hearing these words, many of the students in the hotel took cold breaths. Ten thousand gold coins was not a small amount. There were probably very few students in the hotel who could casually, calmly spend that much money.
"Ten thousand gold?" Rand could not help but feel her heart tremble.
Although his clan was large, every year, he only received three thousand gold for living expenses. He doesn't come to spend money at the Huadeli Hotel every day. Today, he just came to celebrate and Rickson became the number one and number three winner of the tournament.
"Haha, don't have the guts?" Yale took out a magician, waving it as he spoke.
"Rand, approve of him. "Say Rickson. “We four brooches should be able to unite ten thousand gold coins. I refuse to believe that this little punk who came out of nowhere could be a good fit for you. ”
Rand and her three brooches glanced at each other.
"Good! Ten thousand gold! ”
Rand said loudly, and then sneered towards Linley, "Let's go. This place is too small. We will go to the arena where the tournament is held. If you have the courage, follow me! ”After speaking, Rand arrogantly left the hotel, and her three brooches followed her.
"Let's go . "Yale eyes shine.
Reynolds and George were excited. Linley nodded as well while calmly chuckling, "Someone wants to give us ten thousand gold? How can we refuse? "
The whole hotel is in a rage. A duel with ten thousand gold coins bet was rarely seen, even by sixth graders. And what's more, the duelers, one is the one who just won the annual tournament for the first grader, Rand, and the other is the mysterious kid that no one knows.
Soon, many people paid for their tabs and went in that direction as well.
…
The arena floor was made of limestone and was very sturdy.
Currently, Rand and Linley were each standing on separate sides of the arena dueling area.
Under the raised dueling area was a large group of people. After all, it was dinnertime, so on the way from Huadeli Hotel, one person became ten, and ten became a hundred. In a short period of time, a large group of people had been gathered. This exciting duel with a bet of ten thousand gold was more than enough to attract many spectators.
Seeing how many people were coming and how noisy it was, a confident expression appeared on Rand's face.
"Today, I will engage in a magical duel with this boy Linley, with the loser paying ten thousand gold coins and having to avoid the others in the future. Everyone, please see my witness. "Say Rand. He enjoyed the feeling of being watched by many people. He did not suffer from stage fright at all.
Immediately, many cheers exploded from below. During the annual tournament, Rand had many supporters, while conversely, very few people supported Linley.
But Linley just stood there in the dueling area quietly.
"Quite said?" Linley said calmly.
Rand smiled arrogantly. "Let's go . ”
Rand and Linley almost simultaneously started chanting incantations. Since both of them were magi of the second rank, the spells they used were first and second rank and were easy to cast, requiring only a word or two.
"Swaying sounds!"
Seven sharp blades of wind appeared, slicing straight towards Rand.
"A magus of the second rank?" Experienced spectators can know immediately.
But Rand had released a spell at the same time, and five balls of blunt red fire shot towards Linley as well. However, the wind blades were much faster than the fireballs, and Rand was forced to dodge in a somewhat regretful manner. But Linley casually and effectively avoided the fireball. And, while doing so, Linley's lips continued to move as he executed his second spell.
Earth style magic – Earth Tremor!
"Rounder …. ”
Rand felt the limestone under her feet begin to shake violently. Under these circumstances, Rand could not focus enough to chant the spell. Immediately after, Linley released his third spell, and five earth-colored stone fists shot rapidly towards him.
Rand could not even maintain her footing on the shaking ground. He had just avoided two stones.
"Thud. ”
One stone slammed into Rand's stomach, immediately causing her to vomit fresh blood. Rand hurriedly used her arms to cover her chest. Two louder sounds rang out, and Rand was instantly thrown from the dueling area, her entire body covered in dust.
The magic duel, Linley, won!
Linley calmly glanced at Rand once. Linley was very clear about the attack he had just used. With only a month's recovery time at most, Rand will be fine. If he, Linley, had decided to be merciless, he could have pointed a stone at Rand's head and most likely exhausted it.
“Magus two elements of the second rank. We have an expert among us first grade students? ”
The first graders who saw shouted, dumbfounded. For a second rank magus to appear among first grade students was a rare event, let alone a two element magus, which would be the absolute strongest among them.
“This boy controlled the power of his mage very precisely, and his body movements were extremely agile. ”
Some fifth and sixth graders were somewhat surprised. Just now, when facing the fireball, Linley had been able to dodge while continuing to utter words of incantation. From this one could tell how agile Linley was.
"Haha, Rand, do you really think you're number one? The third brother of our dorm, using only magic, can still easily step on you. "Yale laughed loudly.
"Uhuk . "Rand stood up, holding his chest.
Rand knew in her heart that back then, Linley had shown mercy.
"Yale, tomorrow, take Linley. I'll go with you to Golden Bank local branch of Four Empires to transfer money. Ten thousand gold. I will keep my promise. "Rand looked long at the distant Linley. This defeat at Linley's hands had completely roused Rand from an arrogant mist into a genius.
Even if one was talented, if one was not strong enough, he would still be defeated by others!
"Linley, thank you!" Rand said, bowing, causing Yale and the others to be shocked. And then, Rand looked at Linley and said firmly, "But there will come a day when I will defeat you. ”
And then Rand, still clutching her chest, went with the help of her brooch, back to her own residence.
"Linley, you're too amazing. You won your brooch a lot of faces! "Reynolds immediately ran over and hugged Linley, who had retreated.
Linley.
Many people were now staring at him and discussing it. Most of the talented people in the Ernst Institute had become famous. No one expected such a person to appear out of nowhere among the first grade students and easily defeat Rand, the tournament champion.
"Hai Linley, my name is Danni [Dan'ni], the water magus of the first rank. I'm glad to meet you . "Soon, a golden-haired girl with a tall, slender figure walked over and said to Linley with a smile.
"Hi, my name is Linley. "Linley did not have the habit of talking to many strangers. "I'm sorry, I'm going to go practice and enter a trance of meditation right now. ”
After speaking, Linley glanced expressively at his three brooches. Yale and the others knew what he was thinking, and soon, the four brooches ignored everyone around them and left, leaving the young lady, Danni, who was frowning miserably.
