You call this magic?

"After the exam is over, I hope you can go and apologize to Master Ethan in person until Master Ethan is willing to forgive you."

"I will, I will go!" Yu Beier quickly turned around and ran forward a few steps. The scorching gaze behind her made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Philen is cute in every way, but he is particularly clingy in this aspect. The key is that he is in the right, and Yu Beier really can't use the same tricks on Philen that she uses on others.

I can't just run away, wouldn't that mean all the results of these years would be thrown away?

"Hey, I'll just use [Divine Edge Shadowless] from now on."

Although she said so, the one she used most skillfully was [Magic that Cuts Off Everything].

Even after this competition, she felt that she was becoming more and more proficient in using this magic, as if she should have used this magic from the beginning.

If she didn't have suppressors like Ethan and Ferran, she felt that she might have done something terrible.

Well, that kind of thing won't happen.

Volume 3: The Burial of Furlin (Part 2): Chapter 63: The Summons of Celia

This kind of battle royale gameplay was quite interesting at the beginning. After all, it was everyone's first time experiencing it, so it was quite entertaining. So even the two first-level magicians hardly moved, wanting to wait outside the barrier to see what would happen next.

At the beginning, there were more than a hundred teams. After the indiscriminate killing of Duncan's group and various team encounters, only four groups were left. They were all strong and able to survive. In addition, the number of eliminated groups had reached the standard, so Ethan directly signaled that it was time to end.

"I have to admit, this exam topic is quite interesting." Gnaw smiled, albeit a faint one, and said, "If it weren't for Ethan's proposal of 'Battle Royale', there would probably be several more qualified teams. Lady Celia would definitely be unhappy then."

For decades, Celie has not allowed many people to become first-level magicians because she believes that first-level magicians are more about quality than quantity, and one must have the strength to match this title.

It is better to have no qualified person than to let a slacker become a first-level magician. This is Celie's policy.

So generally speaking, Celiai will have a psychological bottom line for the number of people who must pass. For example, the elimination of fifteen groups mentioned at the beginning is just the minimum standard.

There is a fatal problem in Genau's assessment of catching meteorite birds. That is, if the number of birds is large enough, it is very likely that not so many people will be eliminated, and they will inevitably be caught and asked to review afterwards.

So it was because Celie saw this that she asked Ethan to change the test questions.

"How willful, a great magician like this." Ran Ze whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

"If you become a great magician, you can be so willful." Ethan's voice sounded behind Ran Ze, scaring her so much that she almost dropped the teacup in her hand.

"You're here." Gnaeus nodded at the newcomer. "The candidates have been sent away, right?"

"You even let me do something like this, isn't that a bit too much?" Ethan was speechless. It would have been fine if he had just been asked to transform when the test questions were announced at the beginning, but he was also asked to go in the end when the candidates were dismissed and the time for the next test was announced.

The second test was three days after the first test, and basically only left time for resting mana, resting, and healing injuries. The time was very tight, but if it were on the battlefield, there would not even be such time.

Do you know when is the best time to launch a sneak attack on a magician on the battlefield?

While sleeping? No, no, no, with all the warning magic and soldiers on guard, this might actually be the time when one is most alert.

In fact, I was using the toilet and squatting to push hard when suddenly a warrior appeared and slashed at my forehead. Which magician could react instantly?

Facing Ethan's complaints, Gnaeu just smiled and said, "From the moment Celie handed the test to you, I was no longer the chief examiner. The real chief examiner has always been you, but to the outside world, you still need the title of a first-level magician."

"Then can I assume that you are taking advantage of my labor for free?"

"The subsidy for being the chief examiner will be transferred to you later."

"That's okay. We can still cooperate if there's an opportunity in the future."

Genau laughed. This guy changed his attitude so quickly, although it was obvious that Ethan was just trying to ease the atmosphere.

He should have had enough money a long time ago.

Ethan came in front of Ran Ze, lowered his head, and looked at the petite woman below him.

"What's wrong?" Ran Ze looked at Ethan in confusion. Was the silver figure a few days ago really Ethan?

Ran Ze had already begun to doubt.

"Move aside, this is my seat."

"?" A big question mark appeared on Ran Ze's head. Are you polite?

Seeing Ran Ze standing there in a daze, Ethan's eyes rolled, and he put his hands into Ran Ze's armpits, picked her up like a cat, sat down on the seat where she had been sitting before, and then put Ran Ze on the tea table.

This is how you deal with a cat that refuses to give up its seat. Have you learned it?

Ran Ze: ???

She does look young, but that doesn't mean she is a child. She has grown up a long time ago!

This is naked frivolity, you lecher!

There was little expression on her face, but she felt ashamed and angry in her heart. Her hair, wrapped in magic, floated up and turned into a sharp blade, about to chop towards Ethan. The next second, she instantly lost control of her hair, and her long hair fell softly.

wrong!

Her hair fluttered again, but this time it was not Ran Ze who controlled it, but...

"Sorry, I don't want to die yet. Your magic is indeed very powerful at close range, but you still have to be careful about the possibility of being controlled by others."

Just at that moment, he used magic power beyond Ran Ze's limit to forcibly take away the control of her hair... This means that he can also control the magic of hair!

Realizing that he had completely lost any advantage over Ethan, Ran Ze jumped off the table and walked away without looking back. His steps were basically as if he was running away.

"It seems that performing any magic in front of you is risky." Gnawu said expressionlessly.

"really."

Gnaeus was speechless. I wasn't praising you.

After that, the two of them didn't chat much, they just sat there drinking tea until Ethan had finished the water in the teapot, and then he said goodbye and left.

After opening the lid of the pot and taking a look, Genau's eyelids twitched. You came here just for my tea!

indeed.

……

Ethan didn't go back for the time being. There was a faint magical force greeting him from the other side of the forest. It would be impolite if he didn't go.

Because that magical reaction was Celie, he wouldn't make a mistake.

As expected, as soon as he walked over, he saw Celie sitting on the tree trunk in a not very elegant posture, her snow-white thighs hanging in the air, her pearly toes barely hooked on her shoes that were about to fall off and swaying.

This guy, knowing that he has a very high appearance value, just uses it casually.

"Are you here?" Celie jumped down directly, her eyes clearly showing the look of having seen many storms. "Come on, follow me to a place."

This guy didn't seem to realize that she had exposed a lot just now... Is it really because of her age?

"Are you in such a hurry?" Ethan hadn't even gone back to talk to Yubel and the others yet.

"Because it's time." Celia chuckled. This was the first time he saw such an interested expression on Celia's face. "It's time to show you 'that'."

Time's up? That?

Ethan thought about the past ten years and wondered if he and Celie had laid any such foreshadowing.

The result is: No.

He had never heard of anything that required him to see for himself.

"What nonsense! Just go when you're told to."

"Oh……"

Volume 3: The Burial of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 64: I X You X

"Here we are."

The place they came to was a wasteland, but Ethan always felt a serious sense of incongruity.

How could such a barren patch of land suddenly appear in the middle of a forest? It was surrounded by dense vegetation on all sides, yet the inner circle, a hundred meters in radius, was devoid of any grass. The land even looked quite fertile. It shouldn't be like this.

Ethan scanned with his magic power, but found nothing. So he walked forward and entered the wasteland, but still found nothing.

Celie looked him up and down with a strange smile, but did not step into the wasteland.

"Idiot, come back here." Celia hooked her finger, "Be careful or you'll be pushed straight up into the sky."

Ethan seemed to have guessed something, nodded, and walked out of the wasteland.

Celie raised her hand, but her hand stopped in mid-air. She sighed and looked at Ethan.

"You go and solve it."

"Huh?" Ethan was confused, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground without moving. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Stop pretending. You've already experienced this today, right?" Celia's expression was a little impatient. "I'll give you five minutes. Leave one alive for interrogation."

"Wouldn't it be easier if you just went ahead..." Ethan shook his head. This old elf really knows how to order people around.

"At my age, it's hard to control the severity of my attacks."

"I'm still young and I don't know how to control my strength. What if I kill someone?"

"Hey, I'm the president of the association, be careful or I'll cut off your food supply!"

"Don't you have any new tricks? All you do is deduct money..." Ethan whispered.

"Ah? Did you say something?" Celie raised her eyebrows.

"You heard wrong...Ah, no need." Ethan's hand paused in the air, just like Celia's. "They're coming."

At this moment, six black shadows suddenly appeared around the two of them. Two of them held daggers, two carried giant axes, and two held spears tightly, blocking all the ways for Ethan and Celie to dodge. Ethan only needed to look up to see the cold light emitted by the axe blade that was chopping towards his crown.

Basically, when the magician is forced to this distance, the warrior's victory is almost certain.

Not to mention a professional killer in human combat, even a well-trained ordinary vanguard can hunt down a magician of Fulilian's level at close range.

Of course, this has been said long ago, provided that the magician fails to notice the other party's approach.

Coincidentally, the empire's assassins have been practicing secret methods of aura concealment since childhood. Using this method, countless magicians from the continent's magic associations have died quietly in unknown corners.

The only unfortunate thing is that the Empire's assassins failed to obtain one piece of information, that is, Ethan and Celie possessed a magic that specifically restrained assassinations.

【Armor protection】

The sounds of metal clashing rang out continuously. These black shadows holding weapons had no idea that the attacks they launched within hunting distance would be blocked by a layer of defensive magic. Even the blades of their daggers were broken. It was just like the feeling of attacking a hard rock wall with all their strength when they first became warriors. The whole person was blown away by the reaction force.

"You kid, did you do this on purpose?" Under the protection of [Armor Body Guard], Celie's smile was a little excited.

In the past, she would never let herself be approached by those guys, but learning [Armor Protection], a magic that completely restrains warriors, and not using it is totally not Celie's style.

For this, she was willing to risk her life and stand here in person, as if she had completely forgotten how important her identity was.

"That's about right." Ethan didn't waste any more words. He flashed and clenched his right fist. Almost at the same time, he appeared in the direction where everyone flew out and punched them.

What followed was a one-sided attack. Ethan's main occupation was a magician, but his warrior skills were not disadvantageous either.

Every time Ethan beat someone up, he would use [Petrification] to pin them down so they couldn't move, otherwise they would bite the poison in their mouths and commit suicide.

It wasn't even five minutes yet, about three minutes had passed, and the six people were standing in a neat row, motionless.

They couldn't even commit suicide and could only watch Celie wander around them.

When they were still studying, the instructor mentioned that when assassinating a powerful magician, if the attack fails, they must hide their aura and flee immediately. Otherwise, once the magician starts to fight back, normal soldiers will not be able to withstand it.

"Who gave you the guts to even assassinate me, Celie?" Celie approached these people with great interest, touching their muscles. Her eyes grew more interested as she looked at Ethan, "You didn't even teach me this magic?"

Ethan did teach her a lot of Harry Potter-related magic, but not every one of them. After all, the magic exchange between him and Celie was purely a transaction.

It’s not that their relationship is bad. Ethan is still very grateful to Celia for giving him the [Transfer Magic], but one thing is one thing.

"No, do you really need this magic?" Ethan complained with a vacant look in his eyes, "Don't you already know a lot of binding magic?"

"Let's be clear. As a 'walking magic book', you actually have magic that I, sir, don't know. Can you really bear it?"

"So what magic are you going to use to exchange with me this time?" Ethan laughed angrily. What kind of reason was that? Besides, who the hell cares about this title!

"Let me think about it... well, how about a magic spell to summon a treasure chest monster?" Celie didn't know what she was thinking of, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"...?"

Celia's smile gradually became perverted, and Ethan almost laughed out loud for some reason.

That brings me back to the point.

Ethan coughed lightly and said, "Deal, we'll exchange after we finish this business today."

It doesn't matter whether it's magic or not. The main thing is that Celie is so sincere, so it would be a bit ignorant for him not to accept it.

The six people standing in a row were forced to listen to the two men's evil deal until the two men focused their eyes on them.
