Chapter 32
Chapter 32
The five people on the deserted island also saw Adam. Other than Corestal, they were all surprised that Adam could walk together with their teacher.
Ophelia had been taken into the laboratory by the body refining teacher because of her excellent body refining talent. The practice of body refining was accompanied by great pain, and this kind of mage path required some experiments that challenged the three views of the world, such as swallowing the body tissues of various magical beasts, dissecting the bodies of various creatures in order to find excellent genes, including humans. Because of this, she appeared even colder, her eyes occasionally showing deep fatigue and self-doubt. She had not paid attention to the situation of these companions for a long time, and naturally had no time to pay attention to Adam.
"What is he doing?" Ophelia asked in confusion.
William was silent. He was a person who knew how to act. Although he was not recognized and accepted by the others because of his identity, he was not as rejected as the others. He had a general idea of Adam's situation, but he did not expect Adam to have reached such a level.
Quentin, on the other hand, was filled with deep disdain and jealousy. She said sarcastically, "Ha, I thought he was arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so. He must have relied on claptrap to get to the teacher's side."
Corestal heard this and swallowed back the explanation that was about to come out of her mouth. Once again, she was disappointed by the stupidity of these 'companions'. They did not know how big the gap was between them and the person they despised.
Probably because the wizard apprentices and mages who had been through the baptism of time would only talk to people they thought were of equal status in their hearts, Eliot, who was amiable when facing Adam, was cold and indifferent when facing the other apprentices. Eliot and Adam rushed all the way to the other side of the dueling platform. The people gathered here were all senior apprentices who had survived the War of the Spire, and most of them knew Adam.
After greeting each other, Eliot said, "It's just a duel between rookies. Why are you all here? Are you here to watch them construct a set of magic runes?" Eliot used Adam's words to annoy the others.
The senior apprentices couldn't help but imagine that scene, and their interest was immediately dampened. One of them, who was probably very familiar with Eliot, pointed at him and scolded with a smile, "Not only do you have a disgusting smell, but you also have a disgusting way of speaking."
Someone shook his head and didn't mind. "The academy has been too quiet recently. It's rare to see something interesting."
"That's right. Too many of our old friends have disappeared. I wonder how many of these rookies will be able to stay."
Adam didn't participate in their conversation. He was looking for James in the crowd, but as expected, he couldn't find him. It seemed that James wasn't in the mood to join in the fun. Adam looked at the noisy crowd below and felt dispirited. "What a waste of time." Then, he simply left the dueling platform silently.
Eliot glanced at Adam and didn't care. He turned around and chatted with the others. He didn't think highly of what Adam was doing now. James had worked hard for decades and still couldn't do it. How could Adam succeed in such a short time?
Suddenly, the dueling platform quieted down. Shawn and Randy each took a step forward. Without any nonsense, they raised their hands and activated the magic items in their hands. Two magic spells rapidly formed, fiercely colliding in the air, and then dissipating into nothingness at the same time.
The magic items in the hands of apprentices weren't very advanced. Although the spells inscribed on them were different, according to the power index displayed by Mage Black, they were all at the same level. At this time, the apprentices were tested on the accuracy of their magic.
The two of them did well in this aspect. Both of their spells accurately hit the predetermined spot, and there was no clear winner.
The senior apprentices no longer focused on the two of them because it was too boring. The two of them didn't even change their positions.
Shawn grinned at Randy and said, "Country bumpkin, how many more magic items do you have that you can use?" Shawn was full of confidence. Not only had he successfully constructed the second spell, but his companions in the organization had also lent him five magic items. According to the information he had gathered, the poor people on the deserted island were definitely not that rich.
Randy's face turned ugly. He still had one last magic item, which was inscribed with the Flight spell. This was his last life-saving trump card, and he couldn't use it now.
"Damn it!" Randy cursed in his heart and quickly ran to the side.
Shawn was ecstatic. He knew that Randy couldn't make it. At this time, as long as he pursued the victory, he would be able to blast this idiot into pieces. Shawn didn't hesitate to activate his remaining three magic items. Two fireballs and a wind blade sealed off all possibilities of escape for Randy.
"Go to hell! Go to hell! " Seeing that Randy was about to die in his hands, Shawn revealed a morbid ecstasy. This feeling made him obsessed.
Randy stopped at the critical juncture of life and death, and stomped heavily on the ground. Immediately after, an Earth Spike rose instantly. The magic hit the Earth Spike and made a dull sound. Randy hid behind the Earth Wall and heaved a sigh of relief.
Shawn was stunned. He didn't expect Randy to be able to use earth spikes like this. "Idiot, you think this can cancel it out?"
Earth magic had the best defensive power among the low-level magic, but it was not without limits. After barely blocking two fireballs, the wind blade broke through the earth spike. Randy panicked and tried to dodge to the side. However, the wind blade brushed past his arm and easily cut off half of his body.
"Ah!" Randy screamed in pain. Blood flowed out of the wound. The intense pain made him lose the ability to resist.
Some of the native apprentices below couldn't bear to watch, and some shouted to kill the trash. Shawn laughed maniacally and said, "Trash, trash, go to hell!"
The expressions of the deserted island apprentices changed drastically. They quickly ran toward the dueling platform. No matter what, they couldn't watch their companion die in front of them.
Shawn's companions stopped them with hideous smiles. "Country bumpkins, don't you know the rules?"
Quentin roared, "This is not fair!"
One of them looked at them as if they were idiots. Then, he said, "Fair? Haha! You guys are so cute. Life and death are not allowed in the dueling arena. If you want to avenge that trash, why don't you duel with me? "
William looked at him and said, "Howard, give me face and spare Randy's life. I don't think the academy would want this to happen."
Howard glanced at William in disdain and said to his companions, "Look, what did I hear? They want me to give them face. Hahaha, a bunch of country bumpkins, do you think you're worthy?!"
William's face alternated between green and white. He didn't expect to be humiliated like this. However, Randy was in danger, so he could only remember this humiliation in his heart. He turned to the senior apprentices and said loudly, "Mentor, are you going to watch Randy die?"
The senior apprentices looked at him, amused. Then, a cold voice sounded. "What do you think a duel is? A friendly game? "
Shawn, who was on the stage, saw that William and the others had been stopped. He felt relieved and walked towards Randy, who was rolling on the ground. He wanted to humiliate this idiot before killing him.
"Look, no one can save you. You'll definitely die in the hands of Lord Shawn. This is the price you have to pay for daring to challenge Lord Shawn. "Don't worry, your companions will accompany you one by one. All country bumpkins deserve to die. I feel disgusted just thinking about how I'm breathing the same air as you guys!"
Randy looked at Shawn, who was getting closer and closer. His eyes were filled with unforgettable hatred. He let go of his hand that was covering his wound and roared, "Go to hell!" He used his last fireball spell, wanting to send Shawn to hell.
Shawn activated the water screen and said, "Do you think I don't know that you still have a spell? Go to hell obediently. "
Randy was in despair. He activated the last of his magical items and staggered into the air. Because he had lost his arm, he had used up all his mental strength. He could not even maintain his balance.
The apprentices on the deserted island looked hopeful. Perhaps Randy could survive.
Shawn condensed a fireball in front of him and said mockingly, "Poor performance. Goodbye, trash." With a bang, Randy was torn apart in the air and fell to the ground, landing in the hearts of the apprentices on the deserted island.
.....
The duel took a long time to describe, but in fact, it ended very quickly. Before Adam could walk back to the dormitory, many excited apprentices had already passed by him. After seeing the power of magic and death, they were abnormally excited.
Adam was not surprised at Randy's death and did not care at all. However, Eliot, who was persistent, caught up and patted Adam's shoulder. "That apprentice with Curse Affinity is dead."
"Oh."
"Tsk, tsk. How cold. You don't care at all?" Eliot clicked his tongue.
"You don't care at all!? The death of a companion? " An angry voice sounded. Adam looked up and saw that it was Quentin who spoke. The rest of the apprentices on the deserted island were looking at him sadly and angrily.
"We came from the same place. Shouldn't we be united? This time, it was Randy who died. Next time, it could be you! They want to kill all of us. All of us, including you! "Quentin said agitatedly.
Adam did not even stop walking and continued to walk towards the dormitory.
William quickened his steps and stopped in front of him. "Adam, come back. We need to be united. We need you."
Eliot walked to the side with his arms crossed and looked at this scene with interest. He wanted to know how this new friend of his would deal with this kind of accusation.
"Hehe." Adam chuckled emotionlessly.
"What's with your attitude? Are you looking down on us? "
"Yes, I am looking down on you. In this world, everyone's life is their own. You can live like an idiot, but don't do stupid things. Otherwise, you're just asking for it, "Adam said coldly.
Quentin's eyes were about to burst. He was extremely angry. He waved his fist and wanted to teach Adam a lesson.
