The referee standing on the blue ring shouted.
“The students whose names I have read out, please step forward.”
“…”
Two students from the Law Faculty walked out.
They represented the Long-Range and Close-Combat Magic Departments respectively.
The two stood on their respective corners, and a gong sounded.
The battle began.
The student representing the long-range spellcasters used a lightning strike to accurately strike the close-combat spellcasters student in front of him.
The close-combat spellcasters student then used a palm fire.
A raging flame emerged from his palm.
After a few rounds of exchange, the long-range spellcasters student was defeated.
“First round… Win! One point.”
Mike stood below the ring and watched the simple matches.
A dull, boring feeling welled up in his heart.
Even so, an untimely and violent shock began to form in Mike’s mind.
Mike held his head with difficulty.
He felt as if his consciousness was gradually becoming empty.
Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a short while.
After that, Mike finally came back to his senses and looked forward again.
Mike only felt that this kind of move and movement technique was simply child’s play.
After a long wait, the referee finally called out his name.
“Mike from the Long-Range Magic Department, battles, Trudy from the Close-Combat Magic Department!”
As Mike walked onto the stage, a youth with colorful hair appeared in front of him.
The person who had come was Trudy.
“This battle will be interesting to watch. Trudy is the strongest freshman in the Close Combat Magic Department!”
“Wow, Big Brother Mike is here, too? This battle between two strong experts will be amazing.”
The spectators around the stage cheered for their classmates.
On the stage, Trudy was the first to speak as he addressed Mike.
“I heard that you defeated Senior Blue from the Close Contact Faculty when you first entered the school?”
Mike nodded but did not say anything.
“Although his strength isn’t weak, it doesn’t mean that your strength is very strong. Today, I want to prove to you who the number one mage student is!”
The gong sounded and Trudy was the first to make a move.
He was holding a water-blue short blade.
The short blade was embedded with the gem on the mage staff.
It seemed that this was Trudy’s weapon.
Trudy threw the short blade at Mike.
The moment it flew out, countless high-pressure water currents followed the direction of the dagger and attacked Mike.
Mike was not surprised. He easily dodged this seemingly fierce attack.
Trudy smiled and said, “You fell for it, you arrogant guy!”
The dagger that Trudy had thrown continued to change direction with Mike’s flash.
The high-pressure water column also changed direction with the dagger.
Mike was not surprised to see that the dagger was so strange.
These tricks were merely like an appetizer before dinner for him.
Mike noticed that the power of this high-pressure water pillar did not seem to be very high.
He thought to himself.
‘Why don’t I test the power of this high-pressure water pillar? I’ll also test out the power of the Overlord Body!’
Just like that, Mike suddenly stopped.
The water pillar hit Mike’s body lightly like raindrops and the dagger fell off as it lightly touched Mike’s throat.
‘My guess was right. This skill might be new to other students, but to me, it’s extremely childish.’
Seeing that his skill had not caused any damage to Mike, Trudy felt a little strange.
However, he still said, “Kid, do you only know how to dodge? I didn’t think that my skill couldn’t hurt you. But this time, you’re not so lucky!”
Trudy stretched out his right hand, and the dagger returned to his hand as if it had magic power.
At this time, Trudy temporarily started to accumulate power, and the dagger miraculously turned into a two-meter-long machete.
[ System notification: Deep Sea Demon Blade, Platinum Grade. Under normal conditions, it is only a blue dagger. Each attack will automatically follow the default enemy of the wielder. However, once the wielder activates the Demon Blade’s ultimate mode, it will turn into a two-meter-long machete, and the attack will have a water attribute effect. ]
After seeing the system notification, Mike smiled lightly.
He said, “So, that’s how it is. I understand now.”
Trudy had already raised the machete and was charging towards Mike.
“If this attack were to land on my body, I’m afraid that I would lose a little blood. Although it won’t be very painful, it will still leave a small cut.
“It’s your turn to make an appearance!”
Mike smiled confidently.
Mike felt something in his backpack calling to him and a distorted circular space appeared on the battlefield.
Mike subconsciously reached into the distorted circular space and pulled out a completely black but slightly dark red longsword.
“Hermes Curse! Is this your name?”
When the sword left the sheath, the demon’s eye stared at Trudy.
Mike raised his hand, and the Hermes Curse collided with the Deep Sea Demon Blade.
The demon’s eye suddenly blinked, and a dark red evil light shone from it.
Just as the two blades collided, the two-meter-long machete in Trudy’s hand instantly changed back to its original shape and fell to the ground.
Trudy still did not understand what was going on and his right arm was still stretched out like before.
However, at this time, the Deep Sea Demon Blade did not return to his palm like before.
Trudy’s expression quickly changed.
“This? What’s going on? Why is my Deep Sea Demon Blade not following orders?”
Trudy did not dare to rashly pick up his dagger this time because Mike was standing less than five centimeters away from the dagger.
“As a close combat mage, you even dropped your weapon. Do you still want to continue fighting with me?”
Mike said.
However, Trudy spoke up again.
“Don’t be happy too early. Be careful of making a mistake.”
Trudy pulled out a short blade with red patterns from the back of his waist.
[ Flaming Rose: Platinum Grade. Every attack from this weapon will produce a rose-like flame. It can grow indefinitely. Once you are entangled by the Flaming Rose, you will not be able to break free. ]
After seeing the system notification, Mike said to Trudy, “I didn’t expect you to have a second weapon.”
Trudy said to Mike, “What you didn’t expect is still to come!”
Trudy flashed to get close to Mike.
All traces of Trudy were exposed to Mike.
According to Trudy’s movement pattern, Mike could easily catch each and every one of Trudy’s attacks.
“Why isn’t Mike attacking, but is instead dodging all the time?”
“Yeah, yeah, and I remember he’s a long-range spell master. Why is he playing with swords now?”
“By the looks of it, Trudy is about to get serious. I feel that Mike won’t so lucky this time.”
The audience below the stage discussed the battle animatedly.
The topic that was discussed the most was why Mike did not cast any magic skills.
