Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 174 The Fiancée's Jealousy

In the afternoon, the second round of ranking battles began.

Silvermoon faced off against Celestia, a seeded player from the Mage Division.

The girl with orange-red hair wore a fiery red mage robe. The intricate inscriptions occasionally lit up on the surface of the robe, indicating that the robe was not just a pretty decoration.

With her stunning beauty and a fiery, mature figure, Celestia perfectly embodies people's fantasies about female mages and was once nominated as one of the Four Beauties.

"Go Silver Moon!"

"Go Celestia!"

A beautiful girl versus a cute girl, and cheers erupted from the audience.

After eliminating a number of underperforming players, the quality of the second round of battles improved significantly.

The two engaged in a fierce magical exchange.

Silvermoon lacked counter-spells, relying solely on one rather clumsy move: Death Coil.

Celestia's various elemental spells were like fireworks, dazzling and spectacular.

The two are not even in the same league in terms of firepower.

From the audience's perspective, Silver Moon is struggling to stay afloat by relying on her uniquely designed mental energy shield.

The three-minute exchange remained intense and close.

Celestia had exhausted more than half of her mental energy, yet she still couldn't defeat her crumbling opponent, and an uncontrollable sense of anxiety rose within her.

Whispers and murmurs could be heard from the audience seats of the Mage branch.

Silver Moon's overpowered mental shield seemed to be cheating. Logically speaking, even a three-meter-thick reinforced concrete wall shouldn't be able to withstand Celestia's relentless bombardment.

"A revolutionary technique!" Borona commented, noting that its frontal defense was stronger than the diamond-shaped shield, making it difficult for spellcasters of the same level to break through.

To some extent, it's immune to all magic and spells. Unfortunately, the specific data and its limits are unknown.

"Xiao An's special move is amazing!"

With a calm and composed smile, Yin Yue noticed that her opponent's attack frequency had decreased, and knew that it was time to counterattack.

A large amount of soil floated and coalesced around him, forming a spherical shape, and its density gradually increased.

The basic magic spell, Mudball, has a physical form and boasts advantages such as long range and high damage. When its surface is coated with a layer of Netherfire and infused with a certain amount of negative energy, it becomes Netherfire Mudball.

"Go!" Silvermoon locked onto her target, her expression one of absolute certainty.

The result was that it became a laughing stock.

Celestia easily countered with an earth wall spell, not forgetting to taunt, "So weak, making all this trouble, a simple mud bomb spell would be much more useful!"

Silvermoon looked embarrassed. Wizards lacked direct offensive means in the early stages, otherwise other professions wouldn't have had room to maneuver.

She prepared a new spell, white ghost fire swirling around the tip of her mithril wand.

The reason why the Hellfire Ball became a signature offensive weapon for wizards in the early game is naturally due to its unique characteristics. It has no weaknesses in terms of power, range, or projectile speed, and can be continuously charged.

Celestia raised her wand, and a Silence spell, almost instantly cast, flew toward her opponent.

Silvermoon launched its offensive at the same time.

The white ball of ghost fire flew towards the earthen wall and exploded above Celestia's head, sending shockwaves and fire rain down from the sky.

In fact, both of them had considered using magic to bypass obstacles and launch an attack.

However, this can only be done within a certain distance.

Silvermoon's free control of spells only extends to a dozen meters, while Celestia's range is slightly longer, just over twenty meters.

It's time to end this magical duel!

Celestia makes the decision to move closer to her opponent.

Silvermoon couldn't help but feel her face darken. If her two skeletal guards and skeleton mage were still alive, she wouldn't be in this passive situation.

"Damn it, why are my opponents always so troublesome..."

Despite their desperate resistance, Silvermoon was ultimately defeated and eliminated in the second round, returning to the audience dejectedly. Sensing Dorothy and Tyrone cuddling together, she was immediately enraged.

"Xiaoqian, how many times have I told you, don't take my seat."

"You're not here, let me sit for a while! Don't be stingy..."

Guts faced off against an opponent from the Warriors Division and successfully qualified for advancement.

Aglaia encounters Vasia, a student from the Magic Swordsman Academy who defeated Grinfield.

He wasn't a very strong opponent; in fact, everyone in the audience could see that Aglaia won very easily, seizing an opening and defeating her opponent in less than five rounds.

"Aglaia is so strong!" Silver Moon tapped her chin with her finger, belatedly marveling.

Greenfield clenched his fists in disbelief.

According to the Red Maple family's investigation, Aglaia was just an ordinary student in the Warrior Division, and could not even be considered talented. How could her strength be so obviously superior to his own?

Those familiar with Aglaia find it incredible.

The question of who is stronger, Aglaia or Guts, was never a concern before. Now, Taian is asking the surrounding young girls, and they all fall into deep thought.

"Of course it's Guts! Guts is the second-ranked student in the Warrior Division! He also has two inscribed weapons."

"Aglaia might be even more talented; her swordsmanship is incredibly inspired."

"yes…"

Greenfield moved with lightning speed toward the stands of the Wizarding Division.

After observing for a long time, I finally confirmed one thing.

Tai'an has been there all along, and has even secretly set up an invisibility barrier, so he must be doing something shady.

"Get up! My fiancée is here!"

Tai'an pushed away the little girls on his body and beside him, lowered his head to straighten his collar, and adopted an unapproachable and serious posture. Forgetting to wipe the lipstick marks off his face, Yin Yue considerately wiped them away with the back of her hand.

"Xiaoqian, please don't kiss too hard in the future..."

"I didn't use any force at all; Xiao An's skin is even more delicate than a girl's."

Greenfield burst into the barrier set up by Taian, his gaze sweeping over the group of people sitting together.

"You came here for something?" Tai'an turned to look at his fiancée, feigning nonchalance.

Greenfield paused for a moment: "Recently, I've been busy with various matters, and my strength has fallen behind. I'd like to ask if the family has any channels to quickly improve my strength."

"Of course!" Taian answered affirmatively, "You can train with Aglaia."

Since he was going to herd one sheep or lead two sheep anyway, he had no reason to refuse on Ovisga's behalf.

As the future matriarch, Greenfield should enjoy the highest level of resources and treatment.

Tai'an stepped aside, took out a bottle of perfect-quality life potion, and handed it to Greenfield.

After practicing Life Weaving, I vaguely sensed that the other person's body had many hidden health problems that had not yet healed.

The all-out battle at the start of the school year was far from easy, and to put it bluntly, it damaged our internal organs.

Greenfield ignored Hua Yun's advice to recuperate, causing his internal injuries to worsen: "Do you usually give Aglaia this to drink?"

"How could this be..." Taian quickly explained that he had never given Aglaia a perfect quality life potion.

His fiancée didn't seem to believe him; her deep gaze was unsettling.
