Mage Adam Chapter 31: Duel

There are only ten days left before the three-month deadline. James looks a lot older, from the appearance of a young man to gray hair when he first met. This is the result of excessive mental exhaustion. Before James Shi relies on magic to maintain his youthful appearance, and at this moment he has no such mood.

He slumped on the ground and waited for Adam to complete the construction of the last unproven meditation method. He was full of despair. After so many years of research, so many years of hard work, it was about to end, it was about to end, After all, he is just a person without talent, and it is only an extravagant hope to be promoted to a mage with pure mental power. What is even more sad is that he has not even improved the total amount of mental power.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die silently like this." The experimental report in his hand was tightly grasped by him, and then shredded by the inadvertently dissipated magic power, James thought desperately.

Adam's mental power collapsed again, blowing the debris on the ground into all directions, he shook his head at James, and said, "It's still not possible, it can't be self-consistent, the mage armor constructed by this meditation method does not have Way to carry the magic."

James looked at him blankly and said: "Forget it, you don't have to come from tomorrow, the experiment of the stability of the structure of the spiritual power solidification rune and the construction of a complete rune group has failed, and the laboratory will Disbanded after ten days."

James's voice was lower than the last word, and the decadence in his words made Adam frown. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could speak, James again Said: "After ten days, if you want, you can come and collect your salary for this month. If you don't want to, I will directly credit it to your balance. Also, I'm about to leave."

Adam temporarily put what he wanted to say back in his heart and asked, "Go? Where to go?"

James smiled sadly: "Leave the Mage Continent, find an island, and leave your descendants. Then...that's it," James turned off all the optical projectors in the laboratory, Destroyed all the experimental reports and whispered in the dark: "Adam, don't study meditation in the future, you are different from me, there is no need to waste your talents here. I am really jealous of you, what exactly is a formal mage? How do you feel?"

Adam opened his mouth again, the darkness could not resist the sight of the apprentices, James interrupted him directly: "Don't comfort me, at least compared to ordinary people who do nothing, I have experienced the charm of magic, enough is enough. .You go first, I want to be alone."

Adam reluctantly walked out of the laboratory. In fact, he wanted to tell James that after countless verifications in the past two months, he has been able to conclude a self-consistent meditation method, but it will take a few days. time to sort out, but James didn't give him a chance to speak. But it's nothing, ten days is enough, just sort it out early and lend it to James.

......

After about three months, the atmosphere among the new apprentices has changed from the beginning. Where there are people, there will be fights, and even more among this group of apprentices who claim to be the best in the world. In March, many apprentices have joined together to form organizations with various looks.

Most people have run out of power stones, and everyone turned their attention to the task hall when they were studying, and then a problem arose - the tasks suitable for them are very limited, and most of them are cleaning, recording , services, etc. There are not many such tasks, at least there is no way to meet the needs of nearly a hundred people.

Up to now, everyone has mastered more than one kind of magic. With the acquiescence of the academy, conflicts are commonplace, and the formal mages treat them like air. This acquiescence and indulgence make them more powerful. Some, the more talented apprentices became condescending.

The five people on the deserted island are still united, and there is no way they can not be united, because no other team is willing to accept them. Although their strengths are not bad, William has successfully mastered three kinds of fire magic, and Ophelia has developed smoothly on the road of body refining mage, but because the number of people is too small, she is still on the side of being bullied.

At this moment, a conflict broke out in the mission hall. The cause was a short-term job of sorting metals for a senior alchemist apprentice. This job was paid for two units of power stones, which is already very generous. Lan Di wanted to take this quest, but it was also discovered by a local apprentice at the same time, and unfortunately, this person was the one who initially expressed disdain for the desert island apprentice, and then everyone knew his name, Sean , descendant of two mage apprentices.

"What? Country people also want to earn power stones? Haha, do you recognize metals?" Sean stepped out of the road in front of Randy and said arrogantly, as if he thought it was interesting, Sean The companions behind him burst into laughter for a while.

"Get out of the way, Sean, do you want to suffer a little?" Randy's face darkened, and he didn't know why this Sean kept biting him like a mad dog. There have been many similar insults. .

Sean turned his head and exclaimed, "Oh! God, listen to what he's saying, he's trying to teach me a lesson," then turned to Randy and said, "Just you? Countryman? Oh , right, right, I forgot that you are still a genius with soul inclination, what is it? Curse the affinity? Hahaha! Do you want to curse me for a try? I doubt that you will not hurt Uncle Sean a single hair! "

Randy clenched his fists and his veins bulged. Three months was enough time for the apprentices to collect information. All apprentices who showed soul tendencies during the qualification test were remembered by everyone. Only Randy was an exception, because the curse pro And it's just too unpopular and useless. This made him a laughing stock, and also the inverse scale in his heart.

"Damn, you bastard!" Randy lost his mind and rushed towards Sean with red eyes, while Quentin, who was almost inseparable from him, hurriedly grabbed him, it's not good to fight here, senior apprentices will not allow.

Sean stood there and looked at them mockingly, and, surrounded by his companions behind him, pushed them away and accepted the mission.

The senior apprentices watched this scene lazily. It was so commonplace that it could not arouse their interest at all. They also came from this stage. After the first cruelty, the rookies will know that now How childish and stupid the conflict is.

Randy stood there, panting like a beast, and said in a low, almost roaring voice, "You bastard, dare you fight me?"

The mission hall is silent. Although conflicts have occurred from time to time, they have been maintained in words so far. No real duel has been carried out. After seeing the power of magic, they know that the apprentice duel cannot be yours. It was carried out in the way of punching me, and the slightest accident means death.

Sean, who walked to the door, turned around, looked at Randy in disbelief, and said, "What did you say?"

Randy broke free of Quentin and walked up to Sean, looking at him almost like a cockfight: "I said, duel, bastard."

Sean couldn't help but take a step back, panic filled his heart, but in the next second he became angry with the reaction just now, and said fiercely: "Okay, let's duel, you bastard, since you want to die , Uncle Sean will do it for you!"

......

The first duel between the new apprentices has become the most popular topic among the rookies in a few days. Adam knows nothing about it. He has resumed his former dormitory and library life. This news It was also in a small talk with Elliott that he saw Adam again a few months later, and he regretted what happened to James and Adam's wasted time.

"Speaking of which, you are also from a desert island, right?" Elliot asked casually.

"Yeah." Adam is reading a book called "Discussion on the Stability of Runes", and the explanation of the runes in the book is helpful for him to construct his meditation method.

With Adam's acknowledgement, Elliott approached him very gossip and said, "I heard that just today, the desert island apprentice who has a curse affinity is going to duel, don't you want to go and see? "Curse Affinity is useless~IndoMTL.com~, but it is a conspicuous label, and Elliott has no impression of Sean.

"Oh." Adam responded perfunctorily and continued to flip through the book.

Elliott curled his lips and moved closer: "Isn't he from the same place as you? Don't you want to go and see?"

Adam turned the book to the last page, closed it, put it back on the shelf and said, "I don't want to."

"Why? The first duel of the rookies, haven't you seen it before? Tsk tsk, I really miss it when I think about it. We came here like this back then." memory mode.

"Boring, I just came into contact with the most superficial power, so I put my mind on being aggressive, stupid. Besides, what's so good about their duel, are two people standing opposite each other and trying to build a rune group?" Adam turned and left as he spoke.

"Uh..." Elliott imagined such a scene, and immediately felt that it was not interesting, but he was too boring, and when the number of apprentices was small, it was rare for Adam to be so willing to be with him The person chatting, "Let's go, let's have a look, don't you want to go back to the dormitory? It's just on the way, it won't take a lot of your time."

Adam was reluctantly caught by Elliott. Fortunately, the rest of the threads continued to calculate day and night. The daily thread did not delay the progress of the task, so there was no need to flicker Elliott's interest, so the two walked out of the library to face Go to the duel site.

Along the way, Elliott bragged about his rookie record, and repeated his glorious history of using poison to overturn opponents, so he reached the duel site.

Along the way, someone greeted Elliott constantly, and looked at Adam beside him with amazement, wondering how this 'abandoned apprentice' got together with the pharmacy tutor.
