Chapter 37: Friendly Competition!

After Teacher Gwen finished speaking, Gargado added, “Also, you will have a friendly match tomorrow to choose a team leader and vice team leader.”

“The selection method is very simple. You will fight each other two by two, one after the other. Teacher Gwen and I will use your battle as the basis to choose the team leader and vice team leader.”

“Alright, let’s go back and prepare now.”

After Gargado finished speaking, everyone dispersed.

On the way to the dorm, a tall man came to Karl’s side. “Hey, Karl, nice to meet you. I’m Roy Amos.”

This person revealed a smile, his teeth were snow white.

“I know you. What do you want from me?”

Karl looked at the man and nodded slowly.

This person left a deep impression on him.

Among the 20 special admissions students, only three of them were two-star mages.

Other than Karl and Douglas, the other one was Roy.

However, he had introduced himself after Karl.

Someone as amazing as Karl had introduced himself before him, even though he was also very talented, he caused too much of a stir.

Roy cleared his throat and said, “Isn’t there a friendly match tomorrow? If nothing goes wrong, one of us will be the team leader and the other will be vice team leader.”

Karl couldn’t help but laugh.

Roy was quite confident.

“So?” Karl asked.

“So, what I want to say is, if we have to battle each other tomorrow, how about we admit defeat?”

Roy flicked his golden hair and asked Karl for his opinion.

Karl smiled. “Good plan, Roy. If you don’t go back on your words, I have no problem.”

Of course, he knew what Roy was thinking.

The reason Roy made this request was to retain his strength to deal with others.

This way, they had a higher chance of winning.

“Alright, it’s settled then, Karl!”

After hearing Karl’s words, Roy’s smile became even wider. “In that case, I won’t disturb you further. See you tomorrow.”

Roy patted Karl’s shoulder and left with a smile.

After Roy left.

Diana snorted coldly.

Clearly, Roy had thought lightly of her, which was why he said Karl and himself would become the team leader and vice team leader.

This made Diana unhappy.

Elena looked at Karl and reminded him, “Is there a trap? What if Roy tells the others the same thing?”

“It doesn’t matter. He’ll be the one to admit defeat first anyway. If he doesn’t admit defeat, I won’t speak.”

Karl spread his hands and said indifferently.

The two of them had never interacted before, so he naturally wouldn’t trust the other party so easily.

Roy had suggested this.

Therefore, it was reasonable that Roy should admit defeat first. It was impossible for Roy to make him admit defeat first.

Elena’s eyes lit up. “That’s right. If Roy admits defeat first, it’ll be impossible for him to go back on his words.”

Looking at Elena, Karl smiled and said, “You’re really smart.”

“You’re mocking me!” Elena said unhappily.

“I didn’t.”

Karl laughed and strode away.

…

The next day.

At the training ground.

When Karl and the others arrived, everyone was already there.

Seeing that Karl and Diana were together again, Douglas’ expression was awful, but he did not say anything.

Within a day, two more people joined Douglas.

They were the people who had taken the initiative to befriend him yesterday.

Karl remembered that one of them was called Tellista.

As for the other one, he could not remember his name.

“Good morning, Karl.”

Seeing Karl arrive, Roy flicked his golden hair and greeted him.

Karl smiled back.

“Since everyone is here, let’s not waste time. Let’s start now.”

When all twenty of them had arrived, Gargado looked at the group and said, “Let’s start with Guy and Andrew.”

“Students, remember that this is a friendly match. Remember not to be too merciless to your classmates.”

After Gargado finished speaking, Gwen said indifferently, “If an uncontrollable situation happens in the battle, we will forcibly terminate the match and determine the winner based on the performance of the two places.”

The reason why Gwen said that was because she was afraid that the students didn’t know how to control the level of their magic powers.

They were freshmen, after all.

And they were not that familiar with magic yet.

If one got anxious during the battle, it would be very easy for something to happen.

These geniuses had been recruited by the Magic Academy at great cost. They could not die before entering the school.

Then, Guy and Andrew stepped forward, and the others fell back.

Leaving enough space for the two of them to fight.

Gwen stood in front of Karl and the others.

This was also to prevent the two of them from injuring those who did not participate in the battle.

“Alright, let’s begin!”

Gargado said.

Guy snarled, and a wave of fire engulfed the room.

As expected of someone with elite magical talent.

Feeling this surge of power, Karl couldn’t help but think of his high school classmate, Rimon.

They had the same fire magical talent.

There was no way Rimon could compare with Guy.

As Karl thought about it, he stared intently at the two of them fighting.

After all, everyone had elite magical talent. There was no harm in watching them fight.

Guy looked strong, but Andrew was not weak either. He had earth magic.

He possessed an extremely powerful defensive ability.

The confrontation between the two could be said to be quite interesting.

Swoosh!

Guy turned his hands and released a long flame.

Andrew, on the other hand, formed a rock shield.

Karl had seen this rock shield on Rockefeller before.

However, Rockefeller did not have elite magical talent.

Boom!

The flames engulfed Andrew.

However, due to the protection of the Rock Shield, Andrew wasn’t injured.

Guy’s eyes narrowed when he saw that.

Just as he was about to launch his next attack, he heard movement beneath his feet.

Guy’s expression changed, and he quickly dodged.

The moment he dodged, a sharp rock spike appeared where he had been fighting.

Andrew attacked.

He did not stop after Andrew’s attack. He slammed into Guy.

He was extremely fast.

Before Guy could react, Andrew was already crashing into him.

Even though Andrew had held back his magic powers, Guy was still sent flying.
