The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

The next day, at dawn, the venue was already full of people.

When Jiang Liujing walked in, he heard many people around him arguing about which academy to suppress. In previous years, the situation was always one-sided, but this year there were actually many voices supporting the Water Academy.

"I bet Shuiyuan will be the dark horse."

"The chances aren't great, are they? Why is it that the Fire Academy always wants to win? Their winning rate against the Water Academy in previous years was 100%."

"It's not like this year in previous years. This year, there is a powerful person in the Water Academy."

"No matter how powerful he is, he's just one person, right? How can he defeat so many people in the Fire Courtyard?"

Jiang Liujing passed by them as if he hadn't heard anything, his expression as calm as if he were deaf. After he took a few steps away, a surprised voice suddenly rang out from the audience: "Wait, is that kid who just passed by the new student from the Water Academy?!"

"What? Let me see. It really looks like him!"

"He's so small. Wouldn't it be really guilty to bully such a small child?"

"I heard they say this kid is very cute. Those thugs in the Fire Courtyard, please be gentle and don't hurt his face."

……

The first match of the day was between the Fire Academy and the Water Academy, so Jiang Liujing went straight to the stage.

When he arrived, most of the students had already arrived, and the red and blue teams were standing on both sides clearly separated.

As soon as they saw him coming, the freshmen from the Water Academy, who were originally a little weak, seemed to have a backbone in an instant. Their morale suddenly rose. Although they were outnumbered, the confidence on their faces seemed as if they had already won.

The freshmen of Fire Academy: “?”

Do these people have split personalities? Just a moment ago, they were like sheep, but now they have all transformed into wolf kings?

Although it was difficult to understand, they could also feel that this young child who arrived late was indeed the most important core of the other academy.

They couldn't help but look at each other, and had a clearer confidence in today's action plan.

Ignatius and Vita came together. They arrived later than Jiang Liujing. For some reason, they were filled with the chaotic aura of fire magic, as if they had used magic in advance.

Vita's face looked unhappy, but she didn't say anything. When she saw Jiang Liujing, she actually turned her eyes away slightly, avoiding looking at him.

Jiang Liujing was quite surprised. Although he had an average impression of Vita, his performance today was obviously inconsistent with his usual image.

Ignatius took the initiative to step forward and greeted him. Jiang Liujing nodded in response and asked, "Did you go to fight?"

The magical fluctuations from both of them were too obvious to be concealed. Ignatius answered frankly, "It wasn't really a fight, just a warm-up."

He glanced at Vita. The red-haired boy looked murderous. Ignatius turned his head back and smiled at Jiang Liujing. "By the way, I made a bet. The results are in. I won."

The bet between them was obviously not a simple bet, but Jiang Liujing did not ask what the content of the bet was, knowing that the other party would not tell him.

"Really?" Jiang Liujing said, "Then I hope the mana you consumed won't affect the outcome of the game."

To play against each other before the game starts is a warm-up at best, but to put it bluntly it is disrespectful to the opponent and the feeling that it doesn't matter if the opponent is not in 100% perfect condition.

Ignatius raised his head upon hearing this, his gaze fixed on a certain spot in mid-air for a few seconds. Jiang Liujing followed his gaze and recognized it as the same box where he had felt someone watching him on the first day of the competition.

"Of course." The ordinary-looking boy suddenly restrained all his casual attitude, his whole body aura was stern, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

He said solemnly, "All I pursue is victory."
