Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 31 Beast Fighting Competition
Qingdou Hall.

This is the venue where Mingzhu students usually compete with each other. At this moment, the duel arena is covered by a huge barrier.

This is the venue for today's beast fighting competition, known as the "beast fighting iron cage".

The venue is surrounded by tiered seating, which is estimated to accommodate nearly 10,000 people.

Students began to arrive one after another after lunch.

Time passed slowly and soon it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

The entire venue was packed with people, and almost every seat was occupied by students.

Since the freshmen of the Summoning Department are the protagonists of this competition, Su Chi and six other students need to go backstage in advance to prepare.

Soon, the ceremony began.

Dean Xiao took the stage to give a speech: "Before I give my speech, I need to confirm one thing with you."

"If you only want to be a high-ranking, pleasure-seeking magician, then you have come to the wrong place."

"The mages trained by our Pearl Academy must possess the ability to change the world and must shoulder the mission of protecting humanity."

"If you're pursuing the former, then I can give you a letter of recommendation and a diploma right now, allowing you to live that kind of life in advance."

"We at Mingzhu Academy have no shortage of wealth or fame. What we lack is those young mages whose mission is to pursue supreme magic and protect humanity."

Su Chi was standing backstage, not far from where Dean Xiao was.

Therefore, these words were clearly heard by him.

These words are very domineering. In the face of supreme magic, all fame, wealth and honor are nothing but clouds, and the wizard whose mission is to protect humanity is also vivid.

Dean Xiao has a talent for public speaking, and the emotional excitement brought about by listening to the lecture in person at such a close distance is very strong.

A few minutes later, Dean Xiao began to announce the highlight of the day: "Today is your chance to show off yourselves."

In fact, after Dean Xiao's inspiring speech, several students from the Summoning Department around Su Chi began to get anxious.

"It's over, it's over. After being provoked by the dean, there will definitely be many people who can't help but come up to challenge him."

"Originally, I heard that some strong freshmen might have considered hiding their weaknesses and not participating, but now that the dean has provoked them..."

"Yeah, we didn't have much confidence in eliminating 100 people to begin with. Sigh! I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

However, there was one person who was not anxious at all. On the contrary, his face became even more radiant: "Hmph, what are you afraid of? My lion's mane ants will teach them a lesson."

The little fat boy Dong Junhao is still extremely confident, and even feels that as long as he can eliminate a few so-called geniuses, he will become famous in the Qing campus.

But after he said this, Su Chi noticed that the girl next to him who was holding a teddy bear curled her lips at the fat boy.

"Now, please invite our six protagonists today to come on stage!!"

Hearing Dean Xiao's voice coming from outside, Su Chi and others hurriedly walked to the front desk one by one according to the order they had rehearsed long ago.

"Perhaps many of you are dissatisfied. Why do these six freshmen from the Summoning Department become the focus among the freshmen as soon as they enter school?" Dean Xiao was still fanning the flames.

"You are angry and unwilling to give in. Well, now there is an opportunity before you. That is to go on stage and defeat them. You can also become the protagonist today."

The entire Qingdou Hall was instantly ignited by Dean Xiao's words.

At this age, one is full of vigor and vitality. In addition, he was able to be admitted to Mingzhu Academy. Basically, he was a local genius in high school. How could he bear the stimulation of Dean Xiao's words?

At this moment, the freshmen are in high spirits and can't wait for the competition to start. They can't wait to show themselves.

"Who will go first?" Dean Xiao asked Su Chi and others with a kind face.

"Let me go first. These guys actually want to use our summoned beasts as stepping stones. Today I will defeat them!!" The little fat man Dong Junhao spoke first.

After saying that, the little fat man started walking towards the center of the venue.

At this moment, at the entrance on the other side, the group of freshmen who seemed to have been injected with chicken blood had formed a long queue.

"You guys don't have to squeeze, you can all come up together, it'll save some time." Dong Junhao said arrogantly to the people in the front of the team, "Anyway, we're all here to refresh my data, there's no need to sort us out!"

"What did you say?"

"Little Fatty, I advise you not to be so arrogant!" Seeing that the fat man actually looked down on them, the people in the front of the team immediately began to criticize him.

Dong Junhao on the stage instantly became furious when he heard this: "Don't call me little master, Fatty!!"

"Ouch! This little fat guy is anxious, hahaha."

"Since this brat is so arrogant and wants to challenge all three of us at once, then we should satisfy him."

"Yes, if he dares to be so arrogant, we will just defeat his summoned beast."

After the three of them reached a consensus, they went straight to the duel arena together.

After seeing several people come on stage, Dong Junhao no longer hesitated and started to draw star trails.

As the moonlight star track broke through the space, a giant summoned beast with dark yellow hair growing on its chest and jaw, and its appearance resembled an ant, stepped out.

This is the lion's mane ant.

Its entire body is covered with a layer of copper-colored shell, and its sickle-shaped forelimbs reflect a cold metallic light.

"This is the Lion's Mane Ant!"

Students who are able to be admitted to the Pearl Academy have very solid knowledge of magic and recognized the Lion's Mane Ant almost the moment it appeared on the scene.

"spread!"

one of them shouted.

The three of them fled frantically in different directions, and now it depended on who ran faster.

However, they still underestimated the speed of the lion's mane ants.

Under the horrified gaze of the students outside the venue, the lion's mane ant quickly caught up with one of them and swung its forelimbs to chop at him.

At the critical moment, a light shield appeared in time to block the attack.

It was the teacher who was in charge of guarding outside the field who took action, but this also meant that the student was eliminated.

"Fire and Bone Burning!"

At this moment, a ball of fire attacked the lion's mane ant from behind.

Although the attack hit, it only left a small mark on its copper-colored shell and was unable to break through the defense at all.

After being attacked, the lion's mane ant quickly turned and rushed towards the man who attacked it.

In just a moment, the man was knocked away and lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up.

The last man saw that he was the only one left on the field and knew that there was no way out, so he quickly admitted defeat to avoid suffering physical pain later.

After Dong Junhao easily dealt with the three people, his tone became even more arrogant: "Three people are no pressure at all, you can come up together as a group of five."

Several freshmen who were originally hesitant at the entrance suddenly became angry.

After looking at each other, they gritted their teeth and jumped onto the duel arena.

These people learned from the lessons of their predecessors and began to cooperate with each other to fight against the lion's mane ants.

The battle lasted for a long time, but ultimately it could not escape the fate of failure.

In the third round, there were still five freshmen coming on stage to challenge. Although they persisted longer, they still failed to eliminate Dong Junhao in the end.

Time passed slowly, and after Dong Junhao eliminated nearly twenty freshmen one after another, he was finally defeated.

"Who's next?"

Seeing Dong Junhao's demise, Su Chi and the others looked at each other.

"I can't help you. My Xiaoshui has no attack ability." A girl said with a guilty tone.

Seeing this, the other cute girl holding a teddy bear in her arms said, "Then I'll go. My teddy bear has been wanting to come out and play for a long time."
