The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

The qualification challenge was truly different. If Lila won against Lutes, he would naturally be demoted to the blue rank, while Lila would be directly promoted to the red rank. Conversely, if Lila lost, she would have to serve as Lutes' servant for a week.

Since they were all nobles, although they couldn't physically harm her, they could do things that would damage her noble reputation in terms of physical strength and ordinary behavior.

Therefore, in the challenges among the red-clad nobles, the winner usually gets the biggest kickback.

So the next day, at the familiar entrance of the First Martial Arts Arena, I repeatedly reminded her not to underestimate her opponent, and that the intermediate-level magic, Heavenly Water Scattering Flowers, should only be used when she had a sure chance of winning, or in a critical moment.

Otherwise, Lila, having exhausted her magic, would undoubtedly be defeated.

"I understand. I will definitely not let you down, Ivy, for your trust and guidance. I will win this time too."

As she spoke, a confident expression appeared on Lila's face.

And I found a really nice spot to sit down.

However, this time the venue wasn't packed like when I fought Lila; almost all the students and teachers came to watch the excitement.

This time... upon closer inspection, there were only about two hundred students and teachers, and more than a dozen of them seemed to be fans of Lutes.

Ha... She's quite the ladies' man at such a young age.

However, this time, Lutes, you will definitely not have an easy time, because Lila's strength has already surpassed yours.

"Wow, I didn't expect Lila to be such a different person. It seems that your special training for her has really had a significant effect."

I don't know when, but Peach Demon King Teacher also came over and sat down next to me very naturally.

"It's alright. Because Lila has a strong sense of self-esteem and ambition, I gave her some special guidance, which is why her strength has increased so much."

To be honest, I felt a little embarrassed after what Teacher Peach said, but she is a teacher after all, and receiving her praise really made me feel sweet inside.

"However, Lila's opponent, Lutes, is also very strong. Do you really think Lila has a chance of winning? Hahaha."

"Of course, at least 70%."

I told Teacher Peach Demon King my estimated chances of winning without reservation.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so capable, Ivy. It seems you'd be quite suited to be a teacher. How about I take you to take the low-level magician exam in a while?"

"What? You're going to take me to take the beginner mage exam? But I heard that you have to be 14 to become a beginner mage... I'm only 12."

Indeed, as far as I know, the minimum age for a novice mage is 14, for intermediate and advanced mages it's 15, and for a senior mage it's 18, with an annual exam.

"Do you know that genius boy, Beinstein? He's the one who could cast mid-level magic at the age of twelve."

"Yeah. I know."

Who doesn't know that... Wait, I think I also used mid-level magic at the age of twelve, and it was multi-attribute magic, while my low-level magic was instantaneous...

Oh no, I accidentally went too far...

Apart from the high-level magic, which was known only to Vice Dean Cabinfen, almost everything else had been exposed.

"How about I just apply for you to become a high-level mage? Your strength has already reached that level anyway."

"Huh? Could it be that..."

However, I don't quite trust Peach Demon Queen teacher, because she is also...

"Hehe, I have my own way, because I am a court magician."

That's true... She could indeed use her status as a court magician to let me directly take the advanced magician exam, but you still need certain connections. Otherwise, it would be impossible to skip a level in the exam.

"Alright, I'll trust you this time. Enough with the nonsense... Let's start the competition."

Well, anyway, Peach Demon King Teacher's identity is what it is, so I have nothing to refute.

I'm afraid that when I get back she'll be unhappy and beat me up, and then she'll go back on her word.

Then I'd lose both my wife and my army; it's not worth it.

At this moment, Lila and Lutes slowly walked from the two arena entrances to the center of the dueling arena.

And this time, the referee was still Ms. Kafni.

And what she said was exactly the same as what I said before my duel with Lila last time, as if she were holding a speech, and not a single word was different.

Don't tell me how I know.

"Hey, isn't this Teacher Miriam the Peach?"

At that moment, Ms. Betty walked over slowly with a gloomy smile.

"Oh, I thought it was someone else, but it's just Betty, the vice dean's little tagalong."

At this moment, Peach Demon King Teacher glared at Betty Teacher with a look of intense hatred.

But at this moment I can already feel the tension between the two of them... it's really strong, and quite terrifying.

Thankfully, my teacher Betty was sitting next to Elena, otherwise, the two of them would definitely have started fighting if they had sat together...

Actually, before the match, I also asked Elena to call Teacher Betty over, just in case Lila really lost to Lutes and got seriously injured, so that she could be treated in time and not have to be brought back to the infirmary and not be treated in time.

In other words, I have a 100% guarantee that Lila is safe.

Hehe, it’s me as expected!

Chapter 72 Lila VS Lutes, the Red-Clad Noble's Challenge

"The duel begins!"

At this moment, at Ms. Kaphni's command, Lila immediately distanced herself without saying a word.

Because I once helped her analyze how to counter Lutes's Ice Spike spell, the most important thing is to keep your distance.

Because the conversion of water-based spells like Ice Spike (water-to-ice, earth-to-rock, light-to-healing, etc.) has a fatal flaw: its range is significantly shorter than the original water-based spell.

That is, if the distance is about ten meters, it will be difficult for even the most powerful mage to hit someone with an ice spike attack.

Of course, with Lila's water-attribute magic range, hitting Lutes from about seventeen or eighteen meters shouldn't be a problem, especially considering the physical training I've given Lila recently.

So Lila wisely kept her distance.

Seeing that Lila had pulled away, Lutes seemed to get a little anxious and started to chase after her desperately.

But how could he, who had never trained in physical fitness, catch up with Lila, who was as fast as a rabbit? As a result, he was quickly left more than ten meters behind.

After Lila saw that the distance had increased considerably, she naturally began to attack Lutes with her most proficient Ice Flower attack.

Lutes had also exhausted a lot of energy from the chase, making it very difficult for him to dodge.

So all of this was basically within my plan.

"Hey, not bad. I didn't expect Ivy to have figured out the fatal flaw of ice mages, which is their short reach. It seems this duel is definitely worth watching."

That's right. In addition, the intermediate-level magic that Rutus cast also consisted of several huge ice blades. I guess his ice blades could only shoot up to about eight meters at most.

As long as Lila maintains a distance of more than twelve meters, even if it's just a matter of attrition, she can wear down Lutes to death.

However, Rutus indeed possessed more than just ice-attribute magic; he even knew the low-level spell Ice Shield.

Therefore, Lila's Water Array Flower is indeed much more powerful than before, but it is not very effective against magical defenses like the Ice Shield.

However, yes, Lira also has a low-level spell called "Raging Waves" which is a long-range area-of-effect spell. With such a powerful spell, let's see what effect your Ice Shield will have, haha ​​( ^_^ ) .

However, what happened next was something neither Lila nor I expected.

I didn't expect Lutus to control ice magic so well. Just as Lila's mad wolf was rushing towards him, he actually condensed rectangular ice blocks. If we were talking about my world, wouldn't that be a surfboard?

Goodness, this guy is definitely not the kind of dull-witted fool; he's actually quite clever.

Moreover, even when going against the current, its speed is extremely fast, and it quickly closed the distance to Lira.

This is going to be a bit disadvantageous for Lila!

This moment made me feel a little worried.

At this moment, when Rustes was about five or six meters away, he stopped on the wave and, without saying a word, unleashed his prized giant ice blade and launched the first wave of attacks on Lila.

However, Lila was just like a little rabbit; she immediately gave up on continuing to use the Frenzied Wolf Strike and began to flee quickly.

However, Lutes's giant ice spike attack was too slow, making it difficult to hit Lila, who had been specially pampered by me.

In the end, Lila managed to dodge it, though it wasn't exactly easy.

At this point, the number of students watching the event began to increase, and soon the venue was almost half full.

And everyone was watching Lila and Lutes fighting below the stage, because it was the first time they had ever seen a mage with such great physical strength.

After that, Lutes seemed to get a little anxious and continued to attack Lila as much as possible, and his speed was indeed much faster than before.

However, it still can't compare to Lila's speed.

But at that moment, I seemed to see a very shrunken smile on Rutgers' face.

Oh no, Lutes is about to unleash the mid-level spell, Mystic Ice Spike Strike, so I just hope Lila will notice.

But Lila, that child, completely ignored this intermediate-level magic, and then magic began to gather on her magic wand.

Could it be that she's trying to use movement to cast a spell to attack him?

Instead of dodging intermediate-level magic, isn't it a bit too reckless to use movement to cast spells?

In an instant, more than a dozen huge ice spikes appeared above Lutes' head, and the ice flower in Lila's hand was almost fully formed.

The next second, they both fired their magic directly at each other.
