Chapter 27

Those who gossip about him are not unaware that Elphis has a talent for light, which means he has the support of the Holy See. However, everyone thinks that the Holy See has not announced his existence to the public yet. Perhaps they are dissatisfied with his advanced age but weak strength and are ashamed to bring him to outsiders.

With this idea in mind, the young and energetic teenagers began to ridicule boldly.

Elphis has experienced a lot and has a stable mentality, so he didn't get angry when he heard other people's comments.

Frankly speaking, he had the same doubts as everyone else before, and felt that it was too simplistic and crude to divide Aurelion into classes based solely on talent.

His knowledge of many aspects of this world was indeed not as good as that of his classmates. If he had not learned magic in advance through special learning channels and studied books in the Vatican for two months, Elphis would definitely not be able to keep up with the course progress of Class 1.

Then he guessed that the school had not investigated him before and thought that he had been carefully trained like other geniuses, so they placed him in Class 1...

This matter didn't stay in Elphis' mind for too long. He just guessed a reason and ignored it. He believed that he was capable enough to get by in the class.

The people in the Church didn't know him well enough, let alone these fourteen or fifteen-year-old freshmen. The kids were outspoken and said it clearly if they didn't agree. Elphis wasn't angry, but...

Looking at the other party's arrogant attitude, he decided to do a good deed every day and let the child suffer a beating from society, so that he could understand a few years earlier that one should not judge a person by his appearance and should remain polite.

The silver-haired boy was slowly cutting the steak on the plate while a crowd of onlookers were watching. He chatted with them, "What realm are you in?"

When Eugene saw this pretty boy talking to him while looking at the food, he got furious and his tone became even more aggressive!

"Three-star fire element, beginner level, what's your level?!"

Elphis couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He had never fought a magician before, and he had never even had the chance to watch a fight between magicians. He had been curious for a long time, and now he finally had the chance to fight, but his opponent was one level lower than him...

Elphis felt a little guilty about bullying the weak, so he wanted to give the child a chance to regret: "The result is not suspenseful, do you really want to compete?"

When everyone saw that Elphis had a depressed look on his face and didn't mention his own realm, they concluded that he was weak. Either those who were dissatisfied or those who were jealous of the genius laughed at him.

Eugene saw that the boy had finished speaking and went back to eating his food, so he slammed the table impatiently and said, "Nonsense! Do you dare to compete with me? You're not so cowardly as to be a turtle, are you?"

The table shook, and Elphis dodged the splashed oil. Well, the kid asked for it… It suddenly occurred to him that the attack power of the fire system was much stronger than that of the light system, and maybe this kid had more practical experience than him and could make up for the gap in the upper realm.

Thinking of this, Elphis's heart suddenly stopped hurting.

"Since you insist, I will compete with you. If I lose, I will voluntarily transfer to another class. If you lose, what will be the punishment?"

The handsome silver-haired boy remained calm and composed. Eugene's subconscious told him that something was wrong, but this suspicion was fleeting.

He sneered. Lose? How could he lose?

But Eugene was curious about what this pretty boy wanted him to do. He forced a smile, revealing a pair of small canine teeth that looked a bit wild. The boy said casually, "You can decide my punishment."

Elphis glanced at Eugene's outfit: a purple gem space ring, boots made of monster skin, and a robe with damage resistance...

He quickly came to the conclusion - a fat sheep ready to be slaughtered.

"Send me a month's supply of food, three meals a day, from the Delos Hotel in the city."

Eugene: “…”

Everyone around was silent. Who could have thought of this? However...

"I want to eat too."

"That's a good idea. Next time you compete with others, use this as a bet!"

Thinking of the food in that restaurant, Eugene, who hadn't had lunch yet, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then sneered: "Buy food? Ha, that's all you can do."

"Okay, if I lose I'll do as you say. Now, follow me." Eugene raised his chin and half turned sideways, ready to go to the duel arena.

One person mocked and provoked, and hundreds of people around him started to make a fuss, but the central figure remained calm and said, "Wait until I finish my meal." It was as if they were not from the same world, making them look like a group of ignorant children.

Everyone: “…”

Eat, eat, eat! I'll eat you to death!

On the second floor, a man with black hair and blue eyes leaned against a column with his arms folded. His eyes curved into crescents in pleasure because of the interesting scene he saw. He uttered softly, "No wonder Abner said this kid is more suitable."

It’s hard to say how strong it is, but at least it looks quite intimidating on the surface.

——

The college has specially built a large venue for students to compete with each other, and the final team battle is also held here. The layout is similar to that of the Roman Colosseum, with the edge stands rising row by row, which can accommodate students from six grades, so that people who want to watch the game can have a good view.

The arena was guarded by a wood wizard. His main purpose was to treat the seriously injured children in time. He also had to watch over the little magicians who had destroyed the arena and restore the environment before he could leave. Otherwise, would the earth-shattered ground, the big pits created by the lightning, and the muddy soil flooded by the water be left for the teachers to deal with? !

After each fight, the messy arena would be cleaned up with magic. Even so, Elphis still felt a sense of devastation.

Of course, those who came to watch the fun were not only the onlookers in the cafeteria. In a short while, they called their friends and rushed to report. Most of the freshmen had heard that Eugene from Class 2 was going to challenge the low-level magic apprentice from Class 1. Although the outcome was not suspenseful, everyone came anyway.

Elphis from Class 1 was famous for his strength that did not match his natural talent, as well as his exquisite looks and gentle yet unattainable temperament. The young people all had some subtle jealousy towards him, and with these two factors combined, there were quite a few people who wanted to see him lose with their own eyes.

Eugene took out his black staff with dark red lines wrapped around it, and there seemed to be lava flowing in the red gem on the top.

Eugene was about to be embarrassed in front of everyone. Seeing that the silver-haired boy still didn't show the expression of worry and fear as he should, he felt a little unhappy. He was about to "praise" him for his good attitude, but he had a feeling that the other party would calmly reply with an "oh" to perfunctorily answer him... Eugene closed his mouth.

Elphis took out his staff and wanted to see what moves a beginner fire mage had, so he politely gestured, "You go first."

Eugene was too lazy to be polite with him. He raised his hands. Red stars were already faintly seen dancing in the air around him. The boy began to chant: "Sleeping red spirit, show the world your terrifying passion! Transform into a mighty lion and tear apart the enemies in front of us——"

While Eugene was singing, people were already discussing:

"Why isn't Elphis moving? Is he scared?"

"Maybe he can't think of a magic that can resist it. After all, he doesn't know much."

"Can't even run a little distance? Is he a piece of wood?"

"Eugene asked him to change classes for his own good. With this kind of performance, won't he feel inferior if he stays in Class 1?"

Some people felt that the silver-haired boy's performance was more like calmness rather than freezing, and they couldn't help but mutter: "Why do I feel that things are not that simple..."

A two-meter-tall red fire lion roared and attacked Elphis. The heat wave hit his face and the young man frowned uncomfortably, then quickly muttered something - everyone thought he was chanting a spell, but it was far less powerful than the chanting of others. They all doubted whether the elements could be summoned.

"It's too late to speak now..." right?

Before Eugene could finish his sarcasm, he saw the other party soar into the air before the Flame Lion could get close - the silver-haired boy's robe fluttered in the wind, and his wings of light vibrated gently, holding him firmly in the air.

The handsome and cold face looked with a little doubt at the lion below that was about to jump up and pounce on him. Eugene seemed to see two words in Elphis's eyes - is that it?

Someone, without even realizing they were fighting, asked his opponent: "Can you make it fly?"

The Flame Lion is made of elements and has no weight, so why can't we control it to float?

The magician's elemental creations are connected to their minds. In the master's cognition, lions cannot fly, so the creation certainly does not think it has this ability... unless the master has enough control, but Eugene obviously does not have it, and even the condensed creation is not as stable as the pair of light wings!

Eugene snorted coldly and chanted the spell again. Dozens of red fireballs formed in the air. The boy waved his staff and the fireballs hit Elphis from all directions - now let's see how you can dodge!

Elphis didn't want to reveal the fact that he could use low-level magic directly, so he muttered something and pretended to chant a spell again.

The light shield wrapped around him, blocking the young man completely. When the fireball hit it, the force broke it into elements and dissipated one by one.

Some people were disappointed that they didn't see the handsome boy become embarrassed, and said dissatisfiedly: "He only learned how to avoid being hurt? He is not going to be a turtle in the whole game!"

A girl who had always admired Elphis's handsome face rolled her eyes and said, "Did you overlook a key point? His light shield can block the attack of a three-star beginner, which means he is at least a beginner, not some magic apprentice!"

The girl who had just scolded the idiot next to her saw the silver-haired boy landing gracefully. Compared with Eugene who looked tense opposite him, Elphis seemed even more powerful and calm. The girl excitedly shook her friend's hand: "He is so handsome!!"

Of course, Eugene also realized that the opponent's strength was not what they thought... No wonder he dared to accept his challenge.

The young man couldn't help but secretly curse those people who spread the rumor in his heart, what kind of gossip are they talking about!

But Eugene didn't panic, because his opponent was always gentle and didn't seem threatening at all, and then...

Eugene used the raging fire to set the ground on fire, forcing the opponent to fly into the air again. He summoned hot black and red chains to surround the man and the light shield, and the flaming wings on his back approached Elphis. He condensed an elemental sword in his hand and wanted to swing the sword to break the damn light shield. Let's see where you can hide!

Everyone watched Elphis being trapped, speechless - why don't you move! Even if you don't have any attack spells, only light wings and light shield, you should hide from the chains as soon as possible! Standing in the air like a statue? ?

Well, it's too late to say anything now. I was feeling guilty about my misunderstanding of Elphis just now. Haha, it turns out that the rumors were not groundless.

A few jealous students saw the scorching sword about to fall on the seemingly fragile shield, and their cheeks flushed with excitement, as if they were the winners.

The light shield held up by Elphis with all his strength could render Eugene helpless, but that would be too conspicuous, and he would be interrogated by the Vatican later...so the magic he currently used was all done at will, and the power was reduced by half. The sword constructed by Eugene with a large amount of elements was much more solid than his other creations, and it was indeed possible to break the light shield.

The silver-haired boy removed his light shield the moment the red sword came at him, and the scorching chains moved closer. Elphis quickly moved behind the other party.

Eugene was about to turn around to look for someone when a feeling of weightlessness swept over his body. He saw the white-winged boy standing with a sword in his hand, looking down at him coldly. Then he realized with horror that he was falling!

It was his own fire wings that were cut off by the opponent!

Eugene controlled the chains to hold himself back, but Elphis already had a rough idea of his fighting ability, and the temperature in this area was becoming very hot, so he didn't want to test it any further.

Eugene landed safely and controlled the chains to try to restrain his opponent. At the same time, he began to chant a spell, trying to condense a bow and arrow for long-range attacks.

Elphis swooped down and chopped the approaching chain into pieces!

The expressionless opponent approached him quickly with a sword in hand. Eugene's pupils shrank and he turned and ran away reflexively. Before he finished reciting the spell, a chill crept up his back and he reflexively swung the heavy staff in his hand backwards -

Elphis quickly grabbed Eugene's weapon and pulled his staff back. Eugene was brought half a meter closer. The silver-haired boy kicked him five meters away and seized his staff.

But he disdained the scorched and hot ground caused by the fire, and still stood firmly in the air, unwilling to come down.

The audience was completely silent. The reversal happened in an instant, and they were not mentally prepared at all!!!

Eugene, who had fallen to the ground, sat up while holding his aching chest. He looked at his empty hands and shouted anxiously, "Give me back the staff!"

A magician will become very insecure if he loses his staff.

Elphis flew a little closer, his face lacking the pride and joy that a winner should have, instead he looked exceptionally gentle: "Are you admitting defeat?"

Eugene stared at his expression in silence, which had not changed since he first met him. He finally understood what he meant by "the result is not in doubt"... After a moment, he gritted his teeth and replied, "I admit defeat."

Elphis politely handed the staff back to the child and sincerely suggested: "In fact, you could have used the staff to hit me on the head when I was not paying attention. This thing is quite heavy. If it really hit someone, the person would definitely be seriously injured."

"Hmph!" Eugene grabbed the staff and said, "What realm are you at?!"

"It's quite low." He sincerely felt that he was a loser. "I have to go to class. The place is burnt by your fire. You stay and clean it up."

Elphis was about to fly away when he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, I want to have the egg fried rice and mushroom soup from the Delos Hotel tonight. Please send it to me before 7 p.m., thank you."

His calm attitude doesn't seem like someone who had been provoked and ridiculed before!

Eugene's heart sank. Is that it? He just left like that? Why didn't he ridicule himself a little??!

It's not that Eugene was being a jerk. If this had been a fierce fight, or if the other party had mocked him after winning and avenged him for causing trouble in the cafeteria, Eugene would think this was a normal development.

But the loss was sudden. The opponent came and went lightly, which made him feel like he was using all his strength but hitting cotton. It was very unpleasant, you know!

Eugene was not the only one who thought so. The onlookers also felt the same way. Everything ended too suddenly and peacefully, as if they were just a little bit away from advancing, but were suddenly interrupted...

Everyone came with great interest but left with a feeling of emptiness.

When I shared this with friends who had not seen the scene live, no one was interested in listening because the process was not exciting at all. What did it mean that Eugene used this move and then that move, and then lost in the blink of an eye?

How did he lose? Did Elphis use any special moves? No! He just lost suddenly!

No matter how good the eloquence of the person who shares the melon is, he cannot express the tension at the ending. As for the person who eats the melon - this melon has no taste.

But everyone understood one thing, that is, Elphis was indeed qualified to stay in Class 1.

Being able to eat food from his own store for every meal and having kind people pay him to run errands, Elphis feels that life at school is much better!

Almost all the students in Class One watched the duel. They formed a new assessment of their classmate's strength - he should be about the same as theirs, and the main reason he won so easily was that he was too agile, which gave him an advantage among the generally slow-moving magicians.

As for how advanced his magic level is, I can't tell...

Several people put him back on the reserve list for team battle members, and Elphis felt that the young people in the class were enthusiastic about him again.

Alice, who was sitting in the front, turned around and talked to the boy: "The monthly exam is coming soon, and I'm a little nervous, especially about the ancient language subject. If we fail, I don't know what means Teacher Eli will use to deal with us... What about you, Al? Are you confident?"

Elphis shook his head slightly and responded to the student bitch in front of him: "No, there are still many things I don't understand."

The young people who heard the conversation felt more at ease.

Elphis usually reads books and chases after teachers after class to ask for advice, which makes them a little anxious.

However, his high talent for magic and fast training does not mean that he is also smart.

Considering that the other party had only started to learn this knowledge in the past few months and was probably still at the introductory stage of understanding, they were no longer in a hurry.

Hearing Elphis' answer, several people silently crossed out a candidate for the Tower of Wisdom.

——

Lisse town at night.

Winster coldly told the monster that carried him back to stay quietly in the cave, and then the young boy quietly approached the house he had not seen for three years.

His usually stern face rarely showed a hint of nervousness that matched his age...

I really want to talk to my brother... I want to know if he was angry at the time, and if you think of him occasionally?

I want to know how my brother has been doing over the past three years, and I also want to tell him that I have become much stronger.

Oh, by the way, my brother will definitely be very curious when he sees the Warcraft. He can even take my brother to ride it in the forest...

But no... Winster stood at the door and suppressed all expectations.

He just came back to give his brother a small gift and take a sneak peek, and he had to leave quickly before Samuel woke up.
