Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 199 The game is not over, but the Wolf School wins
The horn just sounded.

The wizards and future wizards in the audience became noisy.

Amid the cheering crowd, several wizard apprentices carried plates and walked around carefully avoiding the wizards who were maintaining order.

That was the wizard who opened the market privately.

As soon as a wizard paid the money and took the bet receipt, he was scolded by his companion next to him:
"Bogdan, are you stupid? How did you bet on the Wolf School to win in the first game?"

The wizard named Bogdan held the paper voucher and scratched his head:
"What's wrong, Radek?"

"Isn't the Wolf School the most orthodox demon hunter?"

"I heard that both the mutation formula and the training are much better than the cat school!"

"You read all this in a book, right?" Radek also bought twenty orens, but he bought the Cat School Victory.

"That's not the case..." Bogdan looked at Radek curiously and shook his head. "A few days ago, during the history class, the professor mentioned something. Could he be wrong?"

Radek did not answer immediately, but asked, "How much did you buy?"

"Five Orens."

"That's fine, just consider it as paying tuition!" Radek nodded and explained:
"You're from Novigrad, so you don't know."

"Every few years, Kaedwen holds a competition between the Wolf School and the Cat School. Anyone who has watched a few competitions knows this."

"The Wolf School is weak at swordsmanship, but strong at hunting monsters."

"The cat school is the exact opposite."

"How many times have you watched the game?" Bogdan interrupted curiously. Those who can come all the way to Kaedwen to learn magic are definitely not short of the Five Orens.

So he didn't care when he heard that he was sure to lose.

"My father took me there both times." Radek held up two fingers and continued:

"Most of the time in the past, the first and second games were one-on-one sword fights and monster hunting."

"The winners of both competitions are fixed and there are rarely any surprises."

"My father told me that rather than fighting for victory or the prize money, these two competitions are more about promoting the respective crafts of the two schools."

"For demon hunting commissions, go to the Wolf School. For murder commissions, go to the Cat School."

"Of course, it is said that the relationship between the two schools is not that good. Maybe it is just a tacit understanding?"

Radek's tone was uncertain.

Bogdan nodded thoughtfully.

Radek's evaluation of the two rows of demon hunters is still very credible.

After all, his father was the earl of western Kaedwen, and a great noble who managed his territory in an orderly manner.

"What about the melee?" Bogdan glanced at the center of the arena.

The two groups of demon hunters have begun tentative attacks.

However, at this time, it is still unclear which side has the greater advantage, the Wolf School or the Cat School.

The Wolf School's offensive was slightly more conservative, but it was able to completely block the Cat School's attacks.

Radek also stared at the center of the arena.

Without looking back, he continued:
“The melee is the real uncertainty in every fighting competition.”

"Swordsmanship group battles, magic seal group battles, with monsters, without monsters...even the personal guards of a third party king have joined in."

"My father once said: These various forms of fighting can actually subtly express the king's attitudes and tendencies."

manner?

tendency?

Bogdan bowed his head and pondered.

The Wolf School is good at killing monsters, but not good at sword fighting. The king uses this melee method...

and so……

"The tendency of this game..." Bogdan continued curiously, "Does your king want the Cat School to win?"

……

Main stand of the arena.

Looking at the Wolf School Demon Hunter who was "cowering" to avoid the attack, Haxo shook the crystal wine glass with satisfaction.

He didn't really care about winning or losing the game, but he couldn't help but feel genuinely happy when he saw the man's school next to him fail.

The clear blood-red wine was under his control, swaying in the glass.

"And this is just the beginning," thought Hackathol.

Soi would watch with his own eyes the apprentices of his school being killed one by one.

Then, when his emotions were fluctuating most violently and he was least on guard, he was stabbed in the heart by the leader of the Cat School, whom he despised the most!
He had imagined this scene many times in the past few days.

Every time I would get so excited that I would drink a few more glasses of wine and eat a few more bites of meat.

Even though this match was originally ranked last, Hackso couldn't help but move it to first place this morning.

He wanted Soi and his Wolf School to disappear from this world as soon as possible, even if it was only for a moment!

He drank the wine in the glass in one breath and glanced at the Wolf School which was clearly at a disadvantage.

Haxo tilted his head, looked at Soi with some amusement, and asked:

"Grandmaster, who do you think will win this melee?"

Soi gave Hackso a blank look.

"I naturally hope that our Wolf School can win, but the Cat School is indeed better than us in swordsmanship..."

Hackso's smile grew wider, and the fat on his face was squeezed together.

"correct……"

"Speaking of the Cat School, where is Teresius?"

Soi asked suddenly.

"You invited me, but you didn't invite him to come too?"

He found?
Hackso's fat body shuddered.

After carefully looking at Soi twice, he pretended to be calm and looked towards the arena and said:
"Of course I invited you!"

"But he was rejected. Maybe he has other things to do!"

"Forget about him, let's continue watching the game!"

Upon hearing this, Soi looked deeply at the King of Kaedwen.

He glanced at Vice President Ben Ade Janes, who was standing beside him, wearing a pointed hat and smiling, and also lowered his head to look into the arena.

……

"Qiang!"

"Qiang!"

"Qiang!"

The sound of metal clashing continued to come from the field.

Guksat, who was standing nearby, saw the Wolf School's witcher being suppressed by their own people.

There was no trace of joy on his face, but instead his brows were frowned.

Wizards and kings do not know swordsmanship.

Just because I saw the witchers from the cat school attacking and the witchers from the wolf school defending, I thought they had the upper hand.

But Guksat doesn't think so.

Looking at the Wolf School Demon Hunter's smooth dodging and attacks, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"what happened?"

"How come these Wolf School demon hunters are so strong?"

"Did they cheat too?"

"The dexterity and fluency of this swordplay is simply not something a demon hunter who just passed the trial should be able to possess!"

"Especially the witcher named Aelin!"

Guksat looked solemnly at the Wolf School demon hunter with blue cat eyes.

The strength of the other Wolf School demon hunters, especially their swordsmanship, also exceeded his expectations.

But under the overwhelming force of the Cat School Demon Hunter, he could only rely on his excellent skills to barely absorb the force and dodge.

But Ailin is different.

While he was dealing with his own opponent, he actually had enough energy to help his other companions resist attacks.

Whether in strength, speed, agility or swordsmanship, he far surpasses other demon hunters.

"Fortunately, I was ruthless this morning and made Baleka and the others take the pills. With the pills taking effect, the Wolf School will have no chance of winning!"

Guksat pursed his lips and clenched his fists:
"If I were really merciful, I would not even be able to accomplish my planned goals!"

"This must not happen!"

……

"Qiang!"

Gold and iron echo.

A flash of cold light passed by, but was blocked by Ailin's sword.

Feeling the violent force coming from the steel sword in his hand, Ailin was very surprised.

During the previous test, the strength of those cat-faction demon hunters was still at a normal level.

The swordsmanship was just the Cat School's Level 1 two-handed sword, which did not surprise them.

but now.

The power of these demon hunters' swords became stronger and stronger.

And it's not just strength.

The reaction speed is getting faster and faster.

The timing of dodging and attacking is also becoming more accurate.

Thinking about this, Ailin frowned.

He kicked the Cat School Demon Hunter in front of him away. With a thought, he gave the Cat School Demon Hunter in front of him an appraisal.

Although he had already identified the four witchers from the Cat School when the horn first sounded.

but now.

The four witchers with bulging veins, red faces, and heavy breathing knew that there must be other problems.

【Name: Baleka】

【属性：力量21（+1），敏捷22（+1），体质18（+1），感知26（+1），神秘3】

The moment he saw the enemy's panel, his blue pupils suddenly contracted.

changed!

It's not an illusion!

Except for mysticism, all the attributes of these cat school demon hunters are improving.

At this moment.

"Watch out! Ailin!"

As Zeus's warning came from behind him, Ailin's ears twitched and he turned around and swung his sword.

Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The swift and frantic stab was blocked by him accurately.

But the power of each sword that Ailin felt was a little stronger than the previous one.

The bloodshot yellow cat's eyes were just around the corner, expanding and contracting!

Exceptionally weird.

The next moment.

The owner of the strange cat-like pupils took advantage of Ailin's enormous strength to jump back.

Then he dodged the long sword that was swung down by Zeus by turning sideways, and started to fight with Zeus again.

Ailin also gave him an appraisal subconsciously.

[Name: Jeffrey]

【属性：力量23（+1），敏捷26（+1），体质17（+1），感知21（+1），神秘6】

“This one too!”

Aelin glanced quickly at the other two witchers of the Cat School.

There is no need to think about it, the other demon hunters must be the same.

"Despicable cat school scum!"

"Not only did he disguise his age, he even took stimulants!"

Ailin cursed in his heart with gritted teeth.

The demon hunters of their Wolf School have always relied on their own efforts!

At this moment.

The demon hunter who was kicked away by Ailin, his face flushed red, screamed "Ahhh", and slashed over!

There was no measure in their attacks, all aimed at Ailin's vital points or joints and bones.

"Qiang!"

"Qiang!"

Sparks flew where the swords collided.

It can't go on like this!

Ailin thought.

Feeling the increasingly heavy force coming from the steel sword.

An attack of this strength, even if it doesn't hit the vital parts of the neck and head, will definitely fracture the bones and cause loss of mobility.

He glanced at his companion.

Although Hughes, Bonte and Fred relied on the LV3 Wolf School two-handed sword, they barely blocked the opponent.

But obviously.

As the opponent's attributes continue to improve, there will always be a moment when he is hit.

Ailin originally wanted to hide his strength.

After all, for a demon hunter who had just passed the trial, his attributes and swordsmanship were a little too shocking.

By the way, you can also use these demon hunters from the cat school to help Zeus, Bont and Fred gain practical experience, and let Bont get revenge and resolve his worries.

but now.

If the strength of these cat school demon hunters could be further improved.

Hughes, Bonte and Fred are in great danger.

Although Vesemir was not far away, he was separated from the enemy by a wooden gate, so he could not catch up in the melee.

The decision has been made.

at the same time.

The long sword of the Cat School Demon Hunter Baleka also flashed with a sharp cold light and slashed over quickly.

Ailin's eyes became serious, and his blue cat pupils suddenly shrank.

The heart beats faster and the muscles all over the body expand instantly within a second.

Like a long hungry lion who suddenly sees his prey.

And then in the next moment.

He pushed off the ground with his hind legs, gripped the sword tightly with both hands, and thrust it upwards fiercely.

"Qiang!"

Like a volcanic eruption, the sudden and violent force instantly knocked the sword in Baleka's hand away.

Before he could react, what happened.

next moment.

The cold light that knocked the sword out of Baleka's hand suddenly fell down.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Within one second.

The cat school witcher's arms and thighs were all broken.

"Plop" sound.

He didn't even have time to feel any pain - perhaps even Baleka, who had taken an unknown pill, couldn't feel it.

He fell into the yellow-brown dust, completely losing the ability to move.

Aelin knew that these witchers of the Cat School were definitely fighting with the intention of killing them.

But there are so many people watching here after all.

He didn't want the Wolf School to bear the infamy of killing its own kind because of him.

Because of some cat school scum, it's not worth it!

There is a lot of time left, so let them go for now.

……

The noisy arena suddenly became quiet when Baleka fell.

Quietly.

Everyone stared at the scene in a daze.

It all happened so suddenly.

A second ago, the eight people were still fighting back and forth, and the demon hunters from the Wolf School were even at a disadvantage.

How come a second later, a demon hunter from the cat school suddenly had both legs and arms broken?

"impossible!"

Disbelief voices came from the arena and the main stage at the same time.

The voice came from Guksat and King Haxor of Kaedwen.

It was understandable that Guksat was standing in the waiting area of ​​the Cat School.

So everyone turned their attention to Hakesuo.

Hackso himself also discovered that something was wrong.

After cursing "those rubbish from the Cat School" in my heart.

Under the strange gaze of the Wolf School Grandmaster, he coughed lightly, clapped his hands, and praised with a somewhat stiff smile:
"exciting competition!"

"It's really wonderful!" Janes, the vice president of Ban Ade, also applauded.

next second.

A strange scene appeared.

Obviously, the game has not ended yet and the contestants are still fighting fiercely.

But thunderous applause broke out in the arena one after another.

……

"Is the game over? Who won?"

Bogdan, the wizard apprentice who came to Kaedwen from Novigrad to study, was just awakened by the applause.

He got up too early today and got a bad seat, and he had no interest in the witcher sword fight.

Not long after the horn sounded to signal the start of the game, he fell asleep leaning against the wall.

Radek had a complicated expression.

He turned his head and looked at the few companions in the arena who had bought the Wolf School to win, sighed, and said:

"The game isn't over yet, but the Wolf School has won."

Bogdan: ?
