Violet's opponent was not strong, just a first-tier mage. They exchanged a few spells, and the battle ended with Violet's victory.

"Congratulations on your first victory!" Wu Yu said, offering his congratulations.

"Of course, I'm going to win the championship!" Violet declared confidently, showing no intention of modesty.

"Keep it up." Wu Yu wouldn't dampen her enthusiasm, he just casually replied.

"By the way, Wu Yu, your opponent this afternoon has already been decided. It's the genius Li Qi from Class B-rank one. He's a third-tier mage. Without using your battle aura, are you confident you can defeat him?" Violet asked with concern.

Are you that concerned about me? Wu Yu hadn't even looked at his opponent yet, but it didn't matter who it was. Wu Yu said confidently, "I can't think of any reason why I should lose."

"That's good. These three Tier 3 opponents are the only ones I'm not confident against. Wu Yu, it's great that you can help me eliminate them ahead of time," Violet said in a tone that suggested she was using someone as a tool.

"I'm going to rest now. I have a tough battle to fight this afternoon. Wu Yu, you must do your best!"

"Okay." Wu Yu nodded with a wry smile. Watching Violet's departing figure, Wu Yu felt a bit cheated. Although he was now Violet's nanny, he couldn't keep working for free forever. No, he had to ask her for some benefits next time.

"Did you guys watch the game this morning? That guy named Wu Yu is pretty good."

"Ridiculous. No matter how powerful he is, he's just a first-tier mage. Lich is a third-tier mage, which is already an intermediate professional. We've seen people challenge those above their level, but you've probably never even heard of someone challenging someone above their level."

"Indeed, Wu Yu is destined to lose this battle. He was just lucky this morning."

Even though Wu Yu performed well this morning, people generally have a pessimistic view of him.

At this moment, Wu Yu suddenly had an idea: if he found someone to start a gambling game and then bet all his winnings on himself, wouldn't he never have to worry about money again?

It's such a pity that I missed the best time to bet. If I had beaten the favorite to win the championship, even if the odds were to be opened again later, my odds probably wouldn't have been high.

Thinking about how he had missed a golden opportunity, Wu Yu stared at Li Qi as if Li Qi owed him five million, his resentment mixed with a hint of indignation, and his indignation was filled with helplessness.

Lich never expected that he would be resented for doing nothing, but he was not afraid at all and bravely met the gaze back.

Even before the battle began, the atmosphere was already tense.

"start."

At the referee's signal, Lich retreated rapidly, moving towards the edge of the ring.

This guy had investigated his battle this morning, and Wu Yu immediately realized why the other party would do this.

In the early stages, mages are not only vulnerable, but they also have a very limited number of spells at their disposal. Even a third-tier mage can only construct four magic circuits, with a maximum of four basic spells and six intermediate spells. This is on the premise that the magic circuits constructed by the mage are interconnected.

Not just any two magic circuits can be combined to form a spell. Only a very small number of magic circuits can be combined with each other. Even though people have created many magic circuits, there are still not many schools of magic.

For magicians, maintaining mystery is not only because they think highly of themselves, but more so to prevent being targeted by enemies. Exposing the magic they possess is fatal for them.

Take Wu Yu for example. If people know that he only knows one move, "Magic Shaping," then keeping a distance and kiting him is definitely the best tactic.

This kid is really competitive. He even does his homework when dealing with someone as unknown as me.

It's really wicked of you to ruin someone else's wishes.

Wu Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly. In any case, he would never let his opponent win, and as long as he didn't let them win, Wu Yu couldn't think of any reason why they could win.

"Burning - Rotating" [Ring of Fire]

Lich finished chanting, and a fireball rose from the tip of his staff, which then began to swirl around his body as it detached from the tip.

One, two, fireballs kept appearing until the number reached a full eighteen, at which point the staff stopped generating fireballs.

The fireballs swirled rapidly around Richie, forming an impenetrable barrier. Anyone who tried to approach Richie would be burned by the flames.

This should be the general combat strategy of mages that Wu Yu saw in the book. When facing an enemy that cannot be crushed, the first thing to do is not to attack, but to build a good defense and make oneself invincible.

Therefore, when a warrior faces a mage, if he cannot end the battle quickly, the result of being dragged down by the mage will be facing a human bunker with no chance of victory.

Logically speaking, if a mage who only possesses the [Magic Shaping] skill fails to defeat their opponent before the [Ring of Fire] is formed, they can surrender.

“You lost.” And that’s what Leech thought too. He showed the mercy of a strong person: “We’re classmates, I don’t want to hurt you.”

Silently transforming his staff into a black sword, Wu Yu answered with his actions.

"You're overestimating yourself. You're asking for trouble." Richie no longer held back and continued casting magic.

"Combustion - Compression" [Fireball]

It was hotter and larger than the fireballs around him, carrying a wave of heat, and flew towards Wu Yu.
