The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

After lunch, Mo Ya, the last missing person in the dormitory, also came back.

When he entered the door, he looked weak and dispirited, completely different from the fighting spirit he showed on the field.

Seeing Jiang Liujing and Chi in the hall, he first gave Jiang Liujing a thumbs up, then wailed sadly, "Why is my luck so bad? Woohoo, I have to run into you guys."

Similar to the Water Academy which took five years to get a recommended student, the Earth Academy also took three years to get Mo Ya, a recommended student. Originally, they had put all their efforts into quietly doing great things and giving the other Earth Academy a small shock, but they were dealt a head-on blow by the Water Academy in the first battle.

Mo Ya's grief was quite genuine. Jiang Liujing thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Sorry?"

He blinked and said, "If I met you in an individual competition, I would be gentler."

Mo Ya: “…”

Mo Ya was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Xiao Jing, if you don't know how to comfort me, you don't have to."

We've been beaten so badly in the team competition, what kind of damn curse is it to meet him again in the individual competition?

Mo Ya sighed and sat down beside them, slumping over the table like a boneless person, burying his face in his arms. His voice was muffled: "I don't want to meet you a second time. You didn't use your full strength when you hit us. I can see that."

Jiang Liujing said: "Actually, I tried my best."

"Liar." Mo Ya rolled his eyes without any regard for his appearance. "You didn't even take out your staff."

He hadn't realized this during the battle. After being knocked off the stage and listening to the other students and teachers' review and analysis, he was shocked to find that Jiang Liujing hadn't used a magic wand at all.

This meant that he was only using 70% of his strength at best. No, considering his roommate's love of pretending to be an ordinary person, it might be only 50%, or even lower.

"How exactly does your formation manage to combine everyone's magic power? Wouldn't there be a gap between the magic cast by different people? Do you already know how to perform teamwork magic?"

The Water Academy and the Earth Academy would not meet again in the team competition and there was no competition between them, so Mo Ya simply asked Jiang Liujing about his confusion.

He was genuinely curious. Although it was the same spell, just as humans were different and couldn't work together, spells couldn't be merged because the magic power belonged to different individuals.

Teamwork magic is about reducing these differences through training, allowing spells to achieve the effect of reducing losses, but it requires a long period of coordinated practice. They have only been in school for a week, so it is impossible for them to do it.

Excluding this method, Mo Ya really didn't know what method Jiang Liujing used.

Jiang Liujing smiled faintly, not hiding anything, and told him, "Because of that formation. You also said that the reason why the spells can't be integrated is because there is a barrier. If that's the case, just make them come from the same source."

"The formation is entirely powered by my magic. They are all trapped within it, and when they released the water column, my magic was also mixed in. Using my magic as a thread, I guided everyone's power to converge together, resulting in the result you saw."

Mo Ya took a breath, shock appearing in his eyes.

"Did you come up with this yourself?"

Jiang Liujing nodded and glanced sideways at Chi. To be honest, this was somewhat related to Chi.

During the three months of training, they had certainly tried to coordinate, but the results weren't great at first. The magic from different sources always exploded when they collided. While the explosions were destructive, they were uncontrollable, clearly not the outcome they had hoped for.

Later, Jiang Liujing thought that he could borrow Chi's skills after making a contract with Chi, so he tried to summon Chi's flame. During the process, he accidentally discovered that after his magic power was stained with Chi's breath, it could be merged with Chi's.

Mo Ya's expression was complicated. "Is it okay for you to tell me this?"

This is a totally innovative technique.

Jiang Liujing shook his head. "This isn't some secret that can be kept secret. Anyone who's watched our matches will analyze it, and sooner or later someone will guess it. But even if they know how to do it, they may not be able to do it."

Not to mention how difficult it is to replicate the specific operations he just mentioned, just the ability to control the overall situation that a formation eye must have, and the complete trust in the formation eye that a node must have, are enough to discourage most imitators.

"Also," Jiang Liujing added, "I'm telling you this isn't entirely without purpose."

Mo Ya: “?”

Jiang Liujing said, "Do you know about the school league that takes place every seven years?"

Mo Ya nodded: "Of course, it was held just in the first half of this year, and the venue was near my hometown. But isn't this still too early?"

Jiang Liujing said: "I will strive to be a representative in the next league. To do this, I need teammates I can trust."

He glanced at Mo Ya, who understood what he meant from his eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "Do you want me to grab this spot too?"

Jiang Liujing smiled and said, "You listened to my secret, so you owe me a favor."

Mo Ya: “…”

I couldn't learn anything from him even after listening to him.

He suddenly regretted why he had this curiosity.

Xianyu tried to struggle: "There are still many senior students in the upper grades. I can't compete with them."

His only dream in coming to the Imperial Magic Academy was to make money and become a noble. He never thought about such a terrible thing as bringing glory to the school.

Jiang Liujing raised an eyebrow, "Don't you want to be an outstanding graduate? How can they select you if you haven't made any achievements?"

Mo Ya paused.

It seems like, yeah?

But, “Why me?”

Mo Ya was confused. "Although I admit that I'm talented, there are still many talented people in the school."

"Yes," Jiang Liujing did not deny it, "but I don't believe them."

Mo Ya's eyes moved.

He looked at the calmly smiling black-haired child in front of him, and felt more and more that he was like a huge whirlpool, dangerous, but also full of excitement.

He didn't ask why Jiang Liujing didn't trust those people, but said bluntly: "Are you sure I can be trusted? We've only known each other for a week."

It's still the kind of roommate who only meets occasionally every day when he goes out early and comes back late. If he were a more aloof person, he might not even remember his roommate's name.

"I really can't guarantee it, but there are still seven years left," Jiang Liujing said.

"If you can't see clearly in seven days, you can always recognize it clearly in seven years, Mo Ya. I hope we can still be friends by then."
