In the face of the small fireball technique, the girl Barbara reacted quickly, her steps retreated slightly, and the long sword fell downward, obliquely inserted on the surface of the wooden platform. Holding the gray short staff in his right hand, he waved it, and a blue gem inlaid at the end of the short staff lit up, and the water vapor quickly condensed, releasing a water arrow more than twenty centimeters long.

The water arrow flew out, hitting the fireball accurately, and with a "poof" sound, it pierced into the fireball, so that the fireball went out, and the water arrow also ran out of energy, turning into a pool of water and falling, drenching a large area of the ground.

Zero Ring Spells, Plastic Water Spells, Spiked Water Arrows!

Seeing that the attack was cracked, the boy Saimen frowned slightly, and was about to continue the attack, but saw that the girl Barbara had already made a counterattack.

Barbara's lips closed as she pronounced the incantation, and a thick cloud of green acid coalesced at the end of the staff, and with a wave of the staff, the cloud of acid flew quickly towards Simon.

Zero Ring Spell, Plastic Energy Aqueous Acid Branch Spell, Slug Sour Breath!

Simon responded, and also recited the incantation, and the air condensed, and an air missile flew out, crashing into the acid mass, crushing the acid ball. The acid dispersed and splashed on the surface of the wooden platform, and a large amount of foam was spread with a "stinging sound", but Simon was unscathed.

Zero Ring Spell, Plastic Wind-like Spell, Air Projectile!

Simon and Barbara were constantly fighting, and everyone under the wooden platform was extremely nervous.

From a distance, Richard shook his head, feeling that this style of fighting was too inefficient and conservative. The way the two of them fight is nothing more than to use spells from a distance first, forcing one of them to run out of mana in advance and have to fight in close combat, and then decide for victory. It's like playing chess, until all the pieces to be dragged to one side are eaten up, and then checkmate.

Because the distance between the two people on the stage is not close, the fault tolerance rate of this mode of pile output is very high. There can't be any major changes until the mana in the dual method source is depleted. As a result, the battle between the two sides is not a battle consciousness or spell skill at all, but a stored magic power.

Brought into the model of the modern earth, that is, two soldiers who are enemies of each other, not accurate marksmanship, not high tactical literacy, but who carries more bullets. When two soldiers meet, you shoot one shot and I shoot one shot in turn, and whoever misses the bullet first and has to fight in close combat with a bayonet falls into a disadvantage.

In this mode, unless there is an advantage in crushing, in the end, the state is almost the same, and it takes a hard battle, using up almost all of your mana, energy, and physical strength to win. Therefore, it is impossible for the best students to defeat two students of the same level, and the combat effectiveness is completely determined.

In Richard's view, combat could have been done in another way altogether – a more efficient, faster-paced way.

The two of them can try to dodge each other's spells and release spells to attack each other's bodies, even if the other party can also dodge, then it is inevitable that they will be pulled into the sports battle, and the probability of various flaws will greatly increase.

At this time, as long as you can seize the opponent's flaws and attack in time, you can win at a small price. Not to mention beating two students in the same level, it is possible to beat three or four.

More extremely, closing the distance at the beginning of the battle and going straight to close the fight will result in faster and less costly victory.

Thinking of this, Richard shook his head, losing interest, and prepared to leave for the library. And just as he turned around, his eyes flashed, and Richard noticed a somewhat familiar person who had disappeared in the crowd of onlookers on the wooden platform.

Well?

Richard's eyebrows furrowed, recalling the face he had just seen with the help of the visual lingering image.

That's like ...... After participating in the auction, I hid in the alley and saw the face of the man in the mysterious organization.

It seems to be called ...... Somen?!

What is he doing here, and what is his purpose?

Richard was wary.

He has always been a little jealous of the identity of the other party and the mysterious organization behind the other party, and according to what the other party did before, coming to this white stone tower does not look like a good deed.

That......

Richard squinted into the crowd, hoping to find the other man, but found that the other person had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.

This......

Richard frowned, he didn't think that the previous one was an illusion, so what did the other party want to do?

Looking at the wooden platform, Richard saw that the boy named Simon and the girl named Barbara were still fighting, constantly using spells to fight, and the power of the spells continued to increase.

In the middle of the sound, Simon blasted out a flaming spear several meters long, stabbing Barbara fiercely.

Barbara unleashed water arrows in an attempt to defeat the flaming spear. However, the flame lance called "Raging Dragon Strike" is obviously stronger than the previous "small fireball technique", and Barbara's three consecutive water arrows hit it, which only made the flame spear shrink by half.

In the end, seeing that she was about to be hit, Barbara shouted and swung her short staff, sending large streams of ice mist pouring out, wrapping up layers of flame spears.

Like a peeled onion, the flame spear shrank layer by layer, and finally dissipated completely.

"Whew-"

Barbara breathed a sigh of relief, but her face turned pale, and the "Winter Breath" she cast was a spell that was close to a ring, and it was very expensive for her to release it in an emergency.

At this moment, the companions in the audience sent a warning.

"Be careful!"

"Barbara, beware!"

"Barbara, get out of the way!"

Barbara listened, looked at his opponent, and saw that Simon had cast another attack spell in the gap between her defenses. It was a ball of air compressed to the extreme, like a giant's fist slamming into her.

There was a boom in the air, and Barbara's eyes widened, trying to resist, but the mana consumption was too great to do it, and it was too late to dodge.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Barbara was knocked out and slammed on the edge of the wooden platform, her whole body curled up in pain.

Simon saw this, not sympathetic at all, his lips opened, mana poured out, and a blazing flame spawned at the end of the short staff, ready to continue the attack, killing Barbara.

"Enough!"

A majestic voice sounded, and Mr. Shiraishi, who was maintaining order next to him, suddenly jumped onto the wooden platform, blocking between Simon and Barbara.

"Boy from Heieburg, you won this competition, stop here, the people of Deep Blue Castle in the province are looking for trouble for you. The teacher of the White Stone Tower reminded.

Simon's eyes flashed, the flame at the end of the short staff was extinguished little by little, his hands were folded, and he bent down towards the teacher of the White Stone Tower, "Thank you for the reminder, I know." He walked towards the stage.

At this time, Barbara's companions in the Deep Blue Castle had quickly rushed to the stage, trying to help Barbara up, fighting unevenly while moving.

"Really, what kind of people are they in Castle Her, so heavy!"

"That's it, it's like that, it's all Barbara!"

"...... next time I meet them"

As he spoke, the people of Deep Blue Castle looked at Suomen with unkind eyes, and Suomen continued to walk down the stage, ignoring them.

Richard watched from a distance, frowning slightly, not noticing anything wrong. Although I saw Somon, a member of the mysterious organization, appear just now, everything is normal.

That......

Richard turned around and was about to leave, when a scream rang out.

"Ahh

Well?!
