Magical Cat

Chapter 117 One Kick

Zoe sprang out of Melina's water shield, somewhat defiantly asking Safina, "How can you be so sure your magic is faster than mine?"

Safina smiled slightly and explained, "Your casting speed is inherently slower than mine. We're casting two ordinary basic spells, while you're casting a basic spell that expands the magic circuit."

"My electric magic has a disruptive effect, so you can't possibly be faster than me!"

Safina spoke with such certainty that Zoe could only pout and hold her breath.

Zoe's strategy is actually quite simple: to exert pressure on her opponent by having a boulder piled up above their head, thereby gaining a psychological advantage.

Safina, however, didn't fall for her tricks at all. She remained calm and calculated, showing no sign of panic.

In fact, most people would react in the same way as Safina's teammates, more or less concerned about the boulder above their heads.

But Zoe's little tricks were clearly no match for the academic genius.

It is worth noting that neither side used any magical items throughout the entire match.

In fact, apart from Webber, no one has really taken the competition seriously with magical items so far. After all, it's not honorable to win, and it's also a waste of money.

Safina and Zoe felt the same way. It was just a friendly sparring session in class, and there was no need to use magical items to win. It was not only not worth it, but also embarrassing.

In the first match, Safina's team won.

Everyone expected Safina's team to win.

Normally, Safina, this academic superstar, is far ahead of everyone else.

Even after taking practical courses this semester, there has been no sign of slacking off.

If it weren't for Elaine's arrival this semester, Safina would have been a dominant force in the entire grade.

They are also very curious about which of these two top students will win in the end.

But before that, Elaine has to beat Barbara.

Regardless of what others think, Barbara is very confident in winning over Elaine.

"Weber, look closely, I can easily take advantage of these ordinary people who donate money!" Barbara couldn't resist teasing Weber.

Weber looked annoyed, but he couldn't be bothered to waste words with Barbara.

The other students also had strange expressions. Elaine's strength was obvious to all. Wasn't Barbara's words a dig at them as well?

Everyone initially had a good impression of Barbara, but after attending classes together a few times, they realized that all the good things people had said about Barbara were just rumors.

Barbara herself is much more unlikeable than the rumors suggest.

"Unlike your stupid cat that only follows you around, my magical beast is on a completely different level!"

As Barbara spoke, she summoned a pure white snow rabbit.

The snow rabbit is about the size of a palm, with bright red eyes and pure white fur, and is as cute as a plush toy.

Li En sensed something was off when she heard Barbara's provocation.

He looked around and realized that he was the only cat there.

He immediately snorted loudly, intending to teach this little brat a lesson.

Elaine couldn't help but chuckle, but when she noticed Li En glaring at her, she forced herself to suppress her laughter and looked away guiltily.

After Barbara said this, the other students started talking about it.

"Yeah, that cat just runs around everywhere and isn't really useful. I don't know why it's always with us."

"They probably don't know how to raise magical beasts, so they're keeping them as pets."

"Weber's Thunderhawk is already able to cast a spell once, showing some basic support abilities. These top-tier magical beasts develop so quickly."

"Barbara dares to boast, her snow rabbit probably has fighting power too."

"Not only are there more people, but also an extra magical beast? That's quite a difference!"

"And given Barbara's personality, she'll definitely use magical items..."

As they talked, everyone felt that Elaine's chances of winning were slim.

Seeing that it was about time, Melina announced the start of the match.

Barbara found a powerful teammate, a male classmate who is second only to the top five, and seems to be one of Barbara's most devoted admirers.

After all, that obedient-to-Barbara-like demeanor was truly disgusting to look at.

Barbara's team didn't coordinate much; they just attacked individually, just like in their previous battles.

"Let me show you what I'm capable of!" Barbara said with great enthusiasm.

She unleashed a water ball directly at Elaine.

The snow rabbit blew a breath at the water ball, which immediately froze into an ice ball, emitting a sharp whistling sound as it hurtled towards the snowball.

Elaine countered with a fireball, which neutralized the ice ball.

"Wow, this Snow Rabbit is just as good as Waver's Thunderhawk; it provides excellent support."

"Damn, how come their magical beasts all have combat abilities now, while mine just keeps asking me to replenish its mana every day!"

"Who can argue with that? These two are indeed of such high quality that they can cast spells so early."

At this moment, Safina offered a different opinion. Her eyes flashed as she stared at the Snow Rabbit and said, "No, that's not magic, but the Snow Rabbit's racial talent, Frost Breath."

"Racial talent? That means they barely consume any magic power!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

This reaction greatly satisfied Barbara's vanity.

Her family went to great lengths to get her this snow rabbit.

Some rare magical beasts possess exceptional racial talents.

This racial talent is almost instinctive; although it allows one to unleash magical abilities, it doesn't consume much of their own magic power.

For example, Barbara's snow rabbit possesses the ability to breathe ice.

Furthermore, as the Snow Rabbit continues to evolve, the power of its Ice Breath will become stronger and stronger.

This racial talent, independent of magic, is an ability that is highly enviable.

Barbara's water polo ball was originally not very dangerous, but after being frozen by the snow rabbit, the ice polo ball became several times more dangerous than the water polo ball.

According to the law of conservation of energy in the magical world, the more powerful the magic, the more magical energy it consumes.

Water polo consumes much less mana than ice hockey.

However, with the help of the snow rabbit, Barbara only needs to consume the magic power of the water ball to directly cast the ice ball.

Such support capabilities are already quite remarkable.

In the future, Barbara's rain spells may turn into deadly ice rain.

Meanwhile, Barbara's teammates were not idle either.

This guy conjured an ice arrow and shot it at Elaine.

Elaine had just finished casting a fireball to counter Barbara's magic and was completely unable to cope for the time being.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Elaine didn't even have a chance to move this time.

Just as the ice arrow was about to hit Elaine, a small figure darted out, and the ice arrow shattered in mid-air, leaving only a cloud of icy mist.

Li En flipped in mid-air and landed gracefully, looking down arrogantly at the two stunned people opposite him.
