At this time, with the entry of the black-robed wizard Professor Ivan and four third-level wizard apprentices, the voices of the crowd in the entire duel arena gradually subsided.
A third-level wizard apprentice walked calmly onto the stage, cast a sound amplification spell, and said, "There are a total of 31 freshmen who have passed the annual assessment and qualified for the qualifying round. Now we will draw lots in pairs to determine the top four.
It is an elimination system before the semi-finals, and the loser will be eliminated directly.
After the top four, there will be a round-robin system to determine the first, second, third and fourth rankings.
Now, freshmen whose names have been clicked, please come forward in order to draw your numbers. "
After everyone had drawn their numbers, a freshman named Jerod Reagan almost jumped up in excitement!
It turned out that he was extremely lucky and had drawn a bye this time.
Because there are thirty-one people in total, and they are competing in pairs, there will definitely be one person who will be given a bye. I didn't expect him to be so lucky, which made the other players envious!
After all the contestants had drawn their numbers, the third-level wizard apprentice said, "The rules for the qualifying round are as follows: contestants are prohibited from using any potions, witchcraft props, alchemical products, contracted creatures, etc. during the competition, but witchcraft mediums are not included.
After each game, the winner can receive a bottle of vitality potion to restore physical and mental strength.
Now, the knockout round officially begins, number one versus number two! "
A less famous freshman, Conrad Sloan, drew number one, but unexpectedly met William, who drew number two, at the start of the game.
As soon as he got on stage, he saw that the person opposite him was William, so he raised his hand and shouted, "I abstain!"
Because most of the freshmen knew William's strength, it was not a big deal for them to see Conrad give up directly.
But many senior students and second-level wizard apprentices in the audience immediately booed, and some even cursed "rubbish!".
Suddenly, this embarrassing scene made Conrad's face turn pale and almost red as if blood was dripping out. He walked off the stage in embarrassment.
There were a few senior students in the stands who couldn't stand this kind of escape without fighting, and some of them started cursing on the spot.
"What a fucking coward! When he sees someone stronger than him, he doesn't even have the courage to fight him! I really don't know why the school accepts this kind of bastard!" A tall old student said with disdain.
"Yes, write down the names of these people and put them in the blacklist. Never let them join the team for future missions!" someone nearby echoed.
"That's right. Even if they don't stab you in the back, they will probably flee immediately when they encounter a strong enemy."
"."
"Next group, number three versus number four!"
The matches were played one after another. The most interesting matches were between evenly matched opponents. Matches with huge gaps in strength would often end very quickly, making them less enjoyable to watch!
"Next group, number 11 versus number 12!"
It seems that the green-haired girl Ophelia, who Richard has been focusing on, is about to take the stage this time.
As the green-haired girl walked onto the stage, the people in the audience began to focus their attention on this hot favorite.
This time, the opponent of the green-haired girl Ophelia is a young man named Dal Luz. It is said that he has balanced strength in all aspects, with the physical fitness of a quasi-knight, and strong wizard qualifications. He also seems to have learned zero-level witchcraft recently.
"Ophelia, I know I may not be your opponent, but I will fight to the end!" Dale said seriously.
He had watched Ophelia fight through the second round before. The rhythm of the battle was so smooth that he could not catch up even if he rode a horse.
He just barely made it through the second round, and the gap between him and Ophelia was huge!
However, it was impossible to make him give up directly. Even for the honor of the Lutz family, he could not retreat without a fight.
Ophelia looked at Dale with her beautiful eyes and said, "Childish!"
The voice was cold, and then he didn't speak again.
The battle began!
Ophelia fired two precise crossbow arrows at the beginning, gaining an advantage, and then gently threw a seed of an unknown plant.
As she chanted the spell, the seeds took root and sprouted, growing rapidly!
"Oops!" Dahl, who had just dodged, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately rushed over to interrupt Ophelia's spell.
But unfortunately, it's too late!
Dahl had just rushed halfway when Ophelia's magic was completed.
I saw that the plant had grown to more than two and a half meters, with a huge opening on the top, similar to a clam shell, opening and closing, but with sharp barbs on the edges!
A large number of roots have grown at the bottom, like a millipede, moving very fast!
"Giant Hunter Grass!" Many second-level wizard apprentices in the audience stands have already shouted out the official name of Ophelia's seed.
"This girl is quite capable. She should be a rare apprentice with both Shadow and Nature talents. The Giant Hunting Grass itself is more Shadow-oriented than Nature-oriented!"
"That's right! Super-growth was originally a zero-level natural magic, but the growth speed it casts on seeds is definitely not that fast! It must be a problem with this girl. The one she cast is probably not ordinary super-growth!" A second-level wizard apprentice pondered for a while and added.
"It's not super-speed growth, it should be a shadow-type mutant growth. Look at the top of the giant beast-catching grass, the barbs are black and purple, and there is black and green mucus dripping from the opening. This giant beast-catching grass must have mutated.
And look at the speed at which she casts spells. I'm afraid she has at least mastered the magic of mutation and growth!" Another second-level wizard apprentice shook his head and said.
"Is this still a first-level wizard apprentice? I feel he is more powerful than me!" A second-level wizard apprentice said a little ashamedly.
"."
The giant beast-catching grass just happened to block Dahl. When Dahl saw the monster, he was calm and swung his sword to chop it. However, the dark green mucus sprayed from the opening and closing of the giant beast-catching grass seemed to have a strong corrosive and foul smell. Dahl did not dare to resist it and immediately began to dodge!
At this time, a crossbow arrow happened to hit Dahl's ankle, causing him to stagger!
The giant beast-catching grass seized the opportunity and used the huge opening and closing at the top to clamp Dahl down, then swung it hard and threw Dahl more than ten meters away, directly flying away from the ring.
Dahl fell heavily outside the venue, his whole body in pain, unable to move for a moment, and lost directly!
Richard knew at a glance that the green-haired girl was obviously showing mercy. If they were really fighting, the giant trapper grass would definitely swallow Dahl alive as if he were a small piece of bread.
In a short while, Dal would be dissolved into ashes by the highly corrosive digestive fluid in the giant hunting grass!
"Next group, number seventeen versus number eighteen!"
Richard is number 18!
Richard's opponent this time is number 17, named Tever Fontaine. It is said that during the entrance qualification test, his wizard qualification was close to double-top genius.
"Richard, don't think that you can beat me just because you are a great archer. Let me tell you, I have learned the zero-level witchcraft dark element shield, which is the nemesis of your archers." Tver said incessantly.
