Just a magical girl who picks up trash

At this moment, a faint blue light suddenly flashed in the black fog, and everyone present felt a chill all over their body. The beings above the senior mages also seemed to feel the arrival of some creature. They couldn't help but hold their breath and look into the black fog, expecting and nervous as if something was about to appear.

At the same time, in the black fog, Shi Lei's hands unconsciously clenched as she also focused on the eyes that suddenly appeared in the black fog like the faint blue flames. Yu Huan suddenly looked at the magic circle under his feet with a thoughtful look, and Shui Meng... was struggling.

This is the undead creature summoned by Shi Lei. Looking at Shi Lei's appearance, it is obvious that she wants to fight with the opponent. In this case, it seems a bit inappropriate to snatch the opponent by herself, but... the magic power is so strong, it seems like a fight!

At this moment, she was obviously caught in a dilemma between competing with her good friend for the opponent and being patient.

Just as she was conflicted, over there... two clusters of faint blue flames emerged from the portal formed by the condensation of black fog, but they finally revealed their true appearance. They looked at Shi Lei as if they had confirmed something, and the next second they rushed out of the "door" without hesitation.

“Ho ho ho~~~”

The earth-shaking roar had not yet arrived, but the huge sound waves had already instantly dispersed all the black fog around, making the entire stadium instantly clear, and at the same time, it also revealed the figures of the three girls in the stadium and the behemoth opposite them!

"Sigh~~"

The sound of gasps of shock came from countless magicians, including spectators, apprentices, high-level magicians and even... the voices of titled magicians, one after another... All of this was because of the huge, dark blue eyes that appeared in the field at this moment, staring straight at Shi Lei's figure in front of her.

It has an eagle's head and a lion's body, with huge wings burning with ice-blue flames spread out behind it, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Although it is clearly flames, it gives people an extremely cold feeling.

Griffin...and it's an undead griffin!

One could clearly see dark blue crack-like flames on the opponent's majestic body. At the same time, the huge eagle head was also dry and burnt, and the eyes were severely sunken, as if there were no pupils in the empty eyes, with only two clusters of dark blue ghost fires constantly flickering.

Undead Griffin?! What was summoned was actually a gigantic Undead Griffin that was nearly ten meters tall!

This is definitely an unprecedented undead summoning in the records of the Mage Tower so far. Even though the undead griffin has been staring at Shi Lei from the moment it appeared without emitting any other threats, just the dark blue flames around it that seem to be able to freeze people into ice are enough to tell that this undead griffin... is very strong!

This is the only thought of everyone present, including the titled mage, at this moment!

"If they exist like this...they are doomed to fail!"

104. Fight

The Undead Griffin, and an Undead Griffin whose magic power is close to that of a Titled Mage, stands tall in front of Yu Huan and the other two at this moment, looking so majestic yet as if carrying endless murderous aura. The huge icy aura and the huge magic power carried by the ice flame fully illustrate this point.

It's impossible to win. This was almost the only thought that appeared in the minds of all the teachers and students present at the same time. With such a terrifying existence, even a high-level magician would most likely be completely defeated, not to mention three little guys who were just apprentices.

Although Shi Lei had previously demonstrated magical powers comparable to those of a high-level wizard, magic power does not represent strength. There are people in the Demon Realm who are born with strong magical powers, such as the genius who was given the title of Magical Girl. However, even she had to practice hard in the Wizard Tower for several years before she became a titled wizard.

And how long have Shi Lei and the others been here... No, I should say, considering their age, how long can they stay in touch with magic even if they are exposed to it?

With such thoughts in mind, many people outside the venue looked at the three of them with sympathy and a small amount of schadenfreude. Shi Lei's magic power undoubtedly had a great impact on those players. It was a foregone conclusion that such a being would become a class mage. And if that was the case, it was almost certain that the opponent would win the championship in the subsequent ranking battle.

This is obviously not good news for them, especially for some people... who have grudges against Shui Meng!

However, now... perhaps it was God's will, the opponent actually summoned such a terrifying undead griffin during the trial assessment. Now, if he is eliminated, there is no need to think about participating in the next ranking battle. Even the class mage will probably have to wait another year!

Of course, the above opinions came from those magician apprentices who were hoping for a lucky break. However, their superficial little brains obviously did not expect that Shi Lei had erupted with such powerful magic power today. She had undoubtedly been noticed by the surrounding titled magicians and even the masters of the magic tower. How could such a talented being... remain unnoticed?

In fact, the Dark Tower Lord's concern was obviously not the first one, because not long after her order was issued, the same order was also directly issued from various forces and the royal family, and the result was naturally similar: Shi Lei's identity!

Putting aside the undercurrents off the field, on the field, looking at the huge undead griffin in front of her with a dark gaze, as if it would swallow her and her soul in the next second, even Shi Lei, as the summoner, couldn't help swallowing her saliva. However, this was the opponent she summoned, and she obviously had no intention of retreating. She immediately stepped forward and looked at the opponent with a firm look. In the cross of the sky sword, the light of magic slowly shone.

This is my opponent, so... I have to deal with it myself!

At this moment, everyone present vaguely saw such momentum from Shi Lei... Was she really planning to challenge this undead griffin?

"Hu~~"

A dark white aura emanated from the griffin's nostrils, and its eyes, flashing with will-o'-the-wisp, stared intently at Shi Lei the entire time, never moving away. Facing Shi Lei's gaze that was like a letter of challenge, it naturally wouldn't refuse to fight, so...

“Ho ho ho~~~”

The passionate cry resounded through the heavens and earth, and cold flames instantly burst out from the wings. The next moment, it turned into a strong wind, carrying the impact of freezing everything, and rushed towards Shi Lei.

However, facing the opponent's attack, Shi Lei calmed down instead. She was even calm and showed no sign of fighting back. Instead, she just closed her eyes slightly.

"Wow~~"

The Book of Night Sky automatically flew in front of him, and under the purple-black magic power, the pages automatically turned. As the pages turned, they finally stopped on a page that was covered with various magic spells.

"Prototype Shield!"

There seemed to be a flash of electronic sound, and the next second a pink light shield instantly lit up around her body, protecting not only her but also Yu Huan and Shui Meng behind her.

"I'm going to fuck!"

Until this time, as if she had finally prepared herself mentally, the black wings behind Shi Lei, who was holding the Book of Night Sky in one hand and the Heavenly Sword Cross in the other, suddenly expanded, and then slowly lifted her into the sky. As the wings waved, the Heavenly Sword Cross in her hand was directly aimed at the opponent.

"Meteor Shine!"

The pink magic spells that Yu Huan had used before kept flashing in the air, and then turned into countless pink magic bullets that flew towards the griffin from all directions. However, the griffin ignored them all without a second thought.

"Ho ho ho~~"

Who can't fly?

The huge wings on its back, which were a little damaged and even revealed some of the skeleton, spread out instantly. The next second, with another earth-shaking roar, the huge griffin soared into the sky and slammed into Shi Lei.

"Bang bang bang bang~~"

Countless meteors hit it and dissipated in the blink of an eye like a tickle, turning into pink magic and dissipating in the air. The griffin arrived in front of Shi Lei in the blink of an eye, raised its right claw fiercely, and then suddenly dropped in front of Shi Lei, trying to tear her to pieces.

"Wow~~"

"Crack!"

"Hoho~~"

The forward-charging figure came to an abrupt halt, and the claws charging downward seemed to encounter some kind of resistance and froze directly a few centimeters above Shi Lei's head. When the griffin looked at herself with its twinkling eyes, she suddenly discovered that the pink chains coming from all directions had locked her in, making her unable to move at all.

"Ho ho ho~~"

Chains of this magnitude naturally posed no significant threat to it. It could easily break free with a little effort. The griffin, with this thought in mind, immediately prepared to put its plan into action. Just as it was about to exert force, Shi Lei gave it no chance to react.

"Follow my call, the branches of the Mazoia tree, transform into the spear of the Silver Moon, and pierce through all things! The petrifying magic spear, the sword of the Silver Moon!"

“Swish, swish, swish~~”

An unknown magic spell came out of Shi Lei's mouth, and in the blink of an eye, a total of nine huge silver-gray curved lightsabers appeared around the griffin, and then with a fierce momentum, they were inserted into the opponent's skin.

"Ho ho ho~~"

Amidst the angry roar, although the undead could not feel any pain at all, the moment it touched the Silver Sword, it clearly felt that its body centered on the hilt was actually being... petrified bit by bit?

"Final blow!"

At the same time, the griffin heard the solemn words from the girl in front of him. The moment he raised his head, he saw a golden scepter pointing at him and a pink ball of light on the top of the scepter.

"Xiao Huan taught me this trick, God..."

“…Break!”

105. Unconvinced

Won?

Yes, win!

I didn't expect that I actually won...

The moment the giant undead griffin disappeared from the field, the entire audience was stunned. Even the mages who were originally sitting on the stage could not help but stand up and look in disbelief at the girl below who was wearing a black and white dress with a short skirt at the bottom and a long windbreaker-like tail at the back.

In the breeze, six illusory wings fluttered slowly in the air, and a faint magical luster flashed in their calm and gentle eyes. At this moment, they seemed like the center of the world, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Then, in full view of everyone, the girl who had clearly accomplished such a great feat, slowly descended from the air like a happy child, and then came to a girl who looked much younger than her, as if to seek credit.

"Xiao Huan, I won!"

"Well, Xiaolei... has become stronger!"

Touching each other's head with a smile, this is obviously a normal thing for the two of them. However, to outsiders, it is obviously weird that a mature and domineering girl is touched on the head by a little girl who is between a loli and a girl. But what is even weirder is the girl next to the two of them who seems to be as cold as ice. I don’t know if it is an illusion, but many people seem to see a flash of... envy in her eyes?

The Undead Griffin was destroyed in just one minute. It was obvious that Shi Lei's strength was indisputable. No one present would have any objection to this. In addition, perhaps because of the influence caused by the Undead Griffin, the entire Undead Magic Circle obviously had no trace of any undead after that. In other words, under the magic power displayed by Shi Lei, no undead responded except the Undead Griffin.

In this case, the trial obviously couldn't proceed, and in fact, there was no need for it. Therefore, after discussion, the upper-level mages finally decided... to let Shi Lei and the other two pass the trial directly. Obviously, neither the audience nor the contestants had any opinions about this... Well, no, there were still some opinions, of course not directed at Shi Lei, but...

"I object!"

The person who spoke was not one of the contestants, but a level mage from Losangta. Of course, although she was only a level mage, given her identity, her sudden words obviously did not attract any objection from the people around her. They just cast their eyes on the other party, and after seeing who this person was, their eyes turned again to look at Shi Lei... beside her!

Immediately, glances of understanding flashed across the eyes of the high-level mages from all sides. Even Yu Huan turned his head with a slight smile and looked at Shui Meng beside him, and said with a smile:

"Well, your 'destined rival' is here to cause trouble!"

Facing Yu Huan's complaints, Shui Meng merely glanced at the person who had spoken, then frowned slightly before turning to look at Yu Huan and saying seriously:

"I don't know her, but she's my destined rival... I thought mine was my teacher!"

"Hey hey~~I understand. I did receive your dueling love words!"

She shook her head indifferently to indicate that she understood Shui Meng's confession, and Yu Huan fell silent immediately... It seemed that things were starting to happen now, and the extras were in place, but it was obvious that she was not the protagonist of this scene, so the best way now was to act as a background board.

"I object to them passing the trial!"

The words were repeated once again, and the person who spoke stood up from the audience at the same time as he opened his mouth. It was none other than the class mage from Losang Tower who had always been provoking Shui Meng and treating her as an opponent but had never been remembered. He was the direct disciple of the Losang Tower Master... one of them: Qian Rou!

Facing everyone's gaze, she showed no sign of retreating. Instead, she stood there with a determined look on her face. Without saying a word, she pointed her finger directly at Shui Meng and the other two. Of course, she was mainly pointing at Shui Meng and said:

"The rules of the trial require each person to defeat ten undead. Regardless of what kind of undead they are, it all depends on luck. Putting aside the fact that Shi Lei only defeated one, she showed her strength and passed the test, so everyone agrees. But these two... on what basis?!"

Pointing at Shui Meng and dragging the innocent bystander Yu Huan into the water, Qian Rou's words were filled with impulse and jealousy that everyone could see, but the meaning behind her words was undeniable:

"These two people clearly didn't do anything, yet they passed the assessment directly. I don't agree with this result!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people present frowned slightly. At the same time, the class mages below who had already accepted the result... especially those class mages who passed the assessment also frowned slightly, with a hint of approval in their eyes.

Strictly speaking, Yu Huan and Shui Meng have done nothing since they entered the venue. In other words, these two people were able to pass the assessment just by doing nothing. This is obviously unfair to them who had gone through so much hardship to pass the assessment.

Putting aside Yu Huan, Shui Meng is actually quite famous in Wanfa City. After all, he is the only person in many years who was expelled from the Mage Tower for a year as an apprentice. Although he is back now, being expelled is obviously not a good topic. Now that he comes to participate in the assessment to be promoted from apprentice to mage, it is inevitable that there will be some people who gossip or feel sad.

Why are you so sad? Of course, it's because their relationship has become stronger!

"..."

Qian Rou's words were met with silence from many people present. Most of the audience were there to watch the fun, and although the contestants did not say anything, most of them had already vaguely stood on Qian Rou's side. As for the upper-level mages, most of them were just watching the fun, and the same was true for the high-level mages. On the contrary, the tower masters in the individual private rooms all turned their eyes to two of the private rooms.

Although they couldn't see through the window, they knew that Huanbing's expression must be very unhappy at this moment. As for the other Lord of Losang Tower... no one knew what expression he had!

Qian Rou's blatant act of blaming Shui Meng is undoubtedly equivalent to a provocation to Huan Bing, and this account... will eventually be counted on her. After all, Huan Bing is not so shameless as to bully the younger generation. But will Lord Losang be angry about this?

Everyone had similar thoughts: Not necessarily!

Just as Qian Rou has always had a mysterious obsession and jealousy towards Shui Meng, in fact, Luosang also has the same emotion towards Huan Bing. This is not an unknown thing in the Mage Tower, and the reason is very simple: jealousy!

106. Gem magic

It’s a very simple story, so simple that it can be summed up in two words: rich and poor!

One is the lord of Losang Tower, who grew up alone and relied on his own strength and not very strong talent to reach the top step by step. The other is a little princess who lived in an aristocratic family in the Mage Tower since childhood. She was well-dressed and well-fed, and was gifted. She was determined to be the next lord of the tower and was carefully trained since childhood. The two started their lives with such completely different starting points.

Despite the huge gap between them, the two should have had no intersection at all. However, by coincidence, during their respective generations, whether it was as mage apprentices, hierarchical mages, or various trials, large and small, perhaps it was fate or just some damned bad fate, but the two would always run into each other for various strange reasons, and then...

Luosang has never defeated Huanbing once, whether in strength, luck or...emotionally!

"Hmm, this could be the beginning of a complete chronicle of love, hate, vengeance, and grudges. If that's the case, I probably understand why that guy dared to stand up in such public!"

If this hadn't been instructed by the elders, Yu Huan wouldn't have believed it, even if she'd killed her. And now the other party's intention was obvious: after finally matching the other party's disciples (Qian Rou was now a master, while Shui Meng was still an apprentice), how could they be so easily caught up by the other party? Although they knew very well that they couldn't hold Shui Meng back for long, given her talent.

But jealousy obviously knows no circumstances or rationality. In short...it just makes things worse!

Probably with this idea in mind, Qian Rou immediately directed her spearhead towards Shui Meng and Yu Huan who was watching the show from the sidelines. After all, the close relationship between the three of them was obvious to anyone with normal vision. Her behavior seemed a bit reckless, but in fact, it also contained some elements of sowing discord.

After all, there are some taboos among friends. Shi Lei has shown such strength that she has basically been determined to be a genius. If Yu Huan and Shui Meng were eliminated under such circumstances, then there is no doubt that the two of them as her teammates would embarrass her.

Regardless of what Shi Lei will think at that time, at least as long as the three are separated, there will be a chance for someone to take advantage of the situation... Shi Lei has obviously been targeted by the top leaders of the Mage Tower and even the royal family. In this case, as long as the three are separated, it is not impossible to divide them!

Of course, the above conspiracy theories are obviously not what a jealous brain like Qian Rou could think of. In fact, the above are all from Yu Huan's idle imagination. After all, she has experienced many ups and downs in these years. Besides... you can't underestimate a bedridden girl who grew up reading novels all year round!

While eating melons in boredom, Yu Huan was daydreaming, while Shui Meng undoubtedly bore all the targeting and envious, jealous looks from Qian Rou. At this time, as a girlfriend (yes), she should have stood up for her woman, but on the one hand, Yu Huan thought that Shui Meng didn't seem to need her to stand up, and on the other hand... if she snatched the opportunity from Shui Meng, she might even be blamed by her, and finally she could only fall into silence.

It was obvious that Qian Rou's provocation worked. After she finished speaking, the mage apprentices who were waiting for the test or had already passed or failed the test looked at the two of them with a lot of colored eyes. Of course, most of these eyes were obviously malicious.

In response to the large-scale expressions of dissatisfaction among the apprentices, the high-level wizard in charge of the event and the high-level spectators frowned slightly. After some discussion, they finally came to a conclusion.

Continuing the Undead Assessment was obviously impossible. After all, Shi Lei's actions had caused some obvious malfunctions in the Undead Formation. Not to mention Yu Huan and the others, even those who came after them would need to change the assessment content. Therefore, after the final discussion among the upper echelons, the following results were obtained:

Shi Lei's assessment is completed, while Yu Huan and Shui Meng enter the waiting stage... In this identity, they will participate in the subsequent rank ranking, and must be in the top ten in the rank ranking, otherwise their qualification to pass the class mage trial will be cancelled, and they will continue to train as mage apprentices for one year!

This was undoubtedly an explanation to all the remaining apprentices. Qian Rou obviously wanted to say something about this, but she suddenly froze the next second after opening her mouth, and then fell silent. It was obvious that someone seemed to have said something to her at that moment.

Everyone knows the grudge between Losang Tower and Huanbing Tower, but if the targeting is too obvious... there is no guarantee that others will not have opinions later, especially that Huanbing. Even though he looks like he doesn't care about anything every day, if you really make him angry... the consequences will be very troublesome!
