The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

After the opening ceremony, all the students crowded into the school’s special competition venue.

The structure of the venue is like a funnel pointing upwards. The concave area in the center is a huge platform similar to the training ground of the Magic Warrior Academy. Surrounding it are rows of stepped stone seats.

By this time, the seats were already full. Not only freshmen from various colleges, but senior students as well had stopped classes to come and observe this annual event.

In addition, there were many outsiders dressed in luxurious clothes. However, they did not sit with the students, but were seated in special white boxes in the air, with a panoramic view of the competition through the transparent windows.

Jiang Liujing also noticed the gaze coming from mid-air when he entered the arena. It wasn't just a normal sweep of the entire arena, but it was clearly focused on him, lingering for several seconds.

He raised his head and looked back at the box where his gaze came from.

But perhaps there was some special formation set up, and when looking up from below, one could only see a blurry shadow, and from the figure one could barely make out that it was a male.

Noticing that he was looking back, the shadow's head moved, as if nodding to him.

The freshman competition will enter the individual competition after the team competition. In the first round of the team competition, Shuiyuan ranked third.

The freshmen of the Water College followed the teacher's instructions and sat down in the area of ​​their college. As soon as they sat down, Jiang Liujing was surrounded by senior students.

A senior student excitedly said to him, "I used all my gold coins to win the first round of the water pumping school."

Another senior was surprised and asked, "All of them?"

The senior student was surprised and asked, "Yeah, didn't you press it?"

The senior student chuckled and scratched his head: "I pressed it too, but only half."

Jiang Liujing: “……?”

He was silent for a while before saying, "Is there a bet in our competition?"

"No, no," the senior student quickly waved her hands. "How can this be called a gambling game? It's just a bet."

"In previous years, the odds were always very high for Water Academy against anyone. This year, with your arrival, our odds have dropped quite a bit, but they're still not low. If we play against Earth Academy, the odds are probably two to one."

She held Jiang Liujing's hand devoutly and made a wish: "Junior brothers, you must win. Whether I can eat for the next year depends on you."

It wasn't just her. Although many of the senior students didn't say anything, their gazes were equally eager. Jiang Liujing could tell from their eyes that they had also placed their bets on Shuiyuan.

Jiang Liujing suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

After a few seconds, he asked, "Can we freshmen participate in this bet?"

The senior students shook their heads regretfully.

The senior student said, "It was allowed at first, but later on, we found out that some freshmen were taking advantage of this to maliciously fake matches, so we stopped allowing freshmen to participate."

While they were talking, the battle between Lei Yuan and Mu Yuan had already started on the field.

There were fewer people from the Lei Academy than from the Mu Academy. When both sides stood there, most of them were wearing conspicuous green uniforms, but the expressions on the faces of the students on both sides were completely different.

The students of Lei Academy, led by Wen Xun, stood in a triangular formation, each with the same proud expression on their face.

The students of the Wood Academy, led by Cassian, surrounded him in the center of a circle, vaguely showing a protective posture, with tense expressions on their faces.

Jiang Liujing looked around and didn't find where Liu An was standing at first, but later he found him at the very edge of the circle.

As if they were afraid that he would murder Cassian, they deliberately put him in the farthest place.

Jiang Liujing even suspected that if the team competition rules did not require all members to play, they would have kicked Liu An off the field directly.

Liu An's expression was also strange. Unlike his other classmates who looked nervous, he looked very relaxed and didn't care much about the outcome of the game.

The match lasted almost an hour. The dynamics were clear the entire time: the Wood School's attack power was insufficient, while the Lightning School's was even more powerful than the Fire School's. For the entire hour, the Lightning School students were overwhelming the Wood School with their relentless bombardment.

But there were too many Wood-type healers, and with their numerical advantage, their stacked healing prevented the students from the Thunder Academy from instantly killing them. The circular formation was stacked one layer at a time, with anyone on the outer layer immediately replaced by someone on the next layer when injured, relying on this endless cycle to deplete the opponent's magic power.

Although the Lei Academy has strong attack power, its endurance has always been a problem. As long as the war of attrition continues, the Mu Academy is not without the possibility of winning.

Wen Xun obviously saw through their thoughts, so he took action quickly when both sides had consumed a lot of magic power.

At that moment, he almost turned into a deep purple lightning. No one could see his movements clearly, but in a breath he had passed through the weakened outer layer of the wooden courtyard formation and reached out to grab Cassian's throat.

He didn't hold back at all, and this snatch almost strangled the young master to death on the spot, and his fair face turned red.

Facing Cassian, whose eyes were filled with fear, Wen Xun tilted his head and asked curiously, "Are you the representative of the Wood Academy? Are you also a recommended student? And there are such weak recommended students?"

Although he asked the question, it was obvious that he had no intention of listening to Cassian's answer. He ignored the attacks from the students from the Wood Academy around him, grabbed Cassian's neck and slammed him to the ground.

Jiang Liujing heard the loud bang even from the distant audience seats.

"..."

The whole place was silent for a moment.

"Is it allowed to kill people in the freshman competition?" Jiang Liujing turned his head and asked others in a low voice.

The other students shook their heads silently, their scalps tingling as well.

If this representative from the Lei Academy were to hit someone, even if he didn't die, he would at least have a concussion.
