The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

The carefully prepared siege move failed, and a lot of magic power was consumed but nothing was gained. If you were to say who was the most anxious and annoyed at the scene, it would naturally be Ignatius.

He could no longer maintain his composure. When he and Vita's double attack failed, he was secretly glad that he had temporarily changed his tactics. But now he found that even with so many people, they couldn't catch Jiang Liujing.

Does he really have no flaws?

In the open space before him, the water flow converged again, and Jiang Liujing's figure reappeared. Compared to last time, although he was still uninjured, his breathing was obviously much more rapid.

A little further away, Vita, who had taken Ignatius's bullet, also got up covered in dust.

If they were not all resistant to each other's fire magic, and if Ignatius had not temporarily withdrawn some of his magic, Vita would have almost died at the hands of his fellow courtyard members.

Vita returned to the Fire Academy team, and they surrounded Jiang Liujing once again, but they didn't move immediately. It was really frightening that they had just expended so much magic power and failed to hit him.

"Are you seriously injured?" Ignatius asked without turning back when he felt Vita approaching.

"Thanks to you, I'm still breathing." Vita, whose clothes were mostly torn, replied coldly.

"Now what are you going to do? Do it again?"

Ignatius shook his head.

"No, I can't waste my magic power like this until I figure out his trick."

Although they couldn't catch Jiang Liujing, Jiang Liujing couldn't fight back against them and could only keep dodging.

The gap in strength between the two sides still exists objectively, but if we continue to waste energy, it may not be the case.

He glanced at the flame shield that trapped the freshmen of the Water Academy. Compared with the initial thickness, the thickness of the shield was obviously reduced by half.

The people inside were previously hidden tightly, but now their angry faces can be vaguely seen.

Wait, most?

Ignatius suddenly realized something was wrong and his pupils shrank.

He turned around and asked urgently, "How many minutes have passed now?"

The Fire Academy freshmen were stunned for a moment. "About... four or five minutes?"

They were moving as fast as they could.

"No, that's not right." Ignatius's face suddenly darkened.

How could the light shield be consumed so quickly?

They had already assessed the strength of the freshmen from the Water Academy after the battle with the Earth Academy. Ten minutes was just a conservative estimate; this light shield should be able to last longer.

"Did you do anything?" He suddenly looked at Jiang Liujing and asked.

This question was asked without any context, but Jiang Liujing seemed to know what he meant. He didn't say anything, but just smiled slightly.

The well-behaved smile printed on that fair face looked very beautiful from every angle, but it was a pity that the people who saw it at the moment had no intention of appreciating it.

At this moment, Ignatius was filled with an ominous feeling that he was being plotted against.

He suddenly recalled that Jiang Liujing was first caught without any resistance. At that time, he thought that he was not able to react in time. After all, it was well known that magicians' close combat abilities were not good.

However, after the attack from him and Vita, the spear was about to fall on his nose, and Jiang Liujing had time to react instantly. If he could react so quickly, how could he be caught so easily?

Unless, he did it on purpose from the very beginning.

But why did he put himself in such a besieged situation? What was the reason that made him do this?

During the brief stalemate, the Fire Academy freshmen all looked at Ignatius, awaiting his orders. Hundreds of gazes, like a small army, brought a heavy pressure.

Ignatius was surrounded by those gazes, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly understood as if he had been enlightened.

He got it.

It's the number of people, the double or even triple difference in the total amount of magic power caused by the number of people.

All Jiang Liujing did was to induce them to consume their own magic power. Otherwise, even with the advantage of attribute restraint, the people from the Water Academy would not be able to match them.

Thinking about it this way, his original plan of everyone attacking him alone ended up falling into Jiang Liujing's trap.

Ignatius stared closely at the black-haired child who was surrounded but remained calm, and a rare feeling of admiration arose in his heart.

If he were the representative of the Water Academy, Ignatius believed that he would not be able to do this.

Only if he was confident that he would not be killed instantly under the siege of the whole courtyard could he make such an almost crazy plan, and his confidence was obviously the strange spell he had just used.

Ignatius looked up at the sky, took a long breath, then slowly lowered his head to exhale. As his chin rose and fell, his previously shocked expression regained its composure.

"Aren't you going to do it anymore?" Jiang Liujing looked at him, quite surprised that he regained his senses so quickly.

Ignatius replied in a calm voice, "No, we must do it, but Vita and I are enough."

He turned and ordered, "Everyone, hurry up and recover your magic power now."

When he turned around again, he caught a flash of surprise on Jiang Liujing's face, and he felt more certain in his heart. As expected.

He almost forgot that they were now competing in a team competition, not an individual competition.

Since it is a team competition, the opponent's target must be their entire team.

Previously, Ignatius was worried that Jiang Liujing had too many uncertainties and would become a variable in the team battle, so he wanted to eliminate him first.

But now Jiang Liujing's actions made him understand that the Fire Academy's most basic large amount of magic power was actually the condition for victory. Even he could not cross this condition.

They were the ones who went astray. Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up now.

"You are very strong. If I meet you in the individual competition, I will give up." Ignatius gradually approached Jiang Liujing and said in a low voice.

Jiang Liujing said calmly, "Are you not going to compete for your individual ranking?"

"We already know the outcome, and there's no point in struggling any further. But it's different now, we can still win." Ignatius's eyes were sharp, and as he raised his hand, two fire dragons swirled and rushed out.

Along with this, the injured Vita also released a large sea of ​​fire under his instructions, completely covering the entire space around Jiang Liujing.

Ignatius had already seen that the spell that Jiang Liujing had used to dodge their attacks previously was not without consumption, and that both times he appeared, he was born from the condensation of water. In this case, he filled this space with flames.

Ordinary water, even if it contains a little magic power, will be baked dry by such a large amount of flames. The special water that still exists must be the place where Jiang Liujing disappeared!

He looked at Jiang Liujing with a burning gaze, and spoke with a fierce fighting spirit: "Where are you going to escape this time?"
