After reminding the students to watch the battle carefully, Ilsa selected two more students to fight.
The battles were reviewed in this way, one group at a time. When all the students had almost had their turn, Ilsa called Gu Shi over.
She asked, "You're a Level 4 beginner now, right? I'll have another Level 4 player in the class duel with you later to test your abilities. You definitely don't have as much magic as he does right now, so I'll have him pay attention. Just give it your all."
Gu Shi whispered, "Teacher Ilsa, I'm already at the fourth-order intermediate level now. I just broke through two days ago."
Ilsa's face showed a surprised expression. She did not take the initiative to detect Gu Shi's strength, so she did not realize that Gu Shi had advanced in the past two days.
"Intermediate level four..." Ilsa couldn't help but sigh. These geniuses were so unreasonable. Field Burns was like this back then, and Gu Shi is like this now. Their brilliance directly overshadowed other people of the same era.
The students she was teaching, who were just in their third year, were only at the fourth level of elementary level at best. Gu Shi, who had entered school a year later than them, had already surpassed them and would leave them far behind in the future.
Ilsa sighed for a moment, then quickly returned her attention to the current lesson. "I see. You'll be fighting a Level 4, Junior Water and Earth Dual-Element Mage. Since you're a higher level than him, I won't ask him to go easy on you."
After she finished speaking, she called out, "Joyce, come here."
A boy who looked about 60% like Ilsa walked over. He held his head high, exuding an arrogance that looked down on everyone equally. "What's up?"
He has a good appearance, but his arrogant attitude makes people dislike him.
Ilsa looked at her cousin and felt like giving him a slap. "You and this junior will have a duel later. If you lose, don't blame me for being rude."
She had carefully considered choosing Joyce to compete against Gu Shi. Firstly, Joyce was indeed the strongest among all the students, and secondly, she wanted to take this opportunity to curb his arrogance.
Joyce had been the strongest student in his class since he entered school, which led him to believe that no one could compare to him. Gradually, he began to look down on other students and his personality became increasingly extreme.
This time, Ilsa wanted to let Joyce know that there are always people better than you and there are things better than you. She also wanted to correct his crooked mindset. She couldn't let him continue like this.
Joyce didn't care about Ilsa's threat at all. "Hey, he's just a junior. How could I lose?"
After Joyce walked away, Ilsa patted Gu Shi's shoulder and instructed him, "Fight well, and help me teach that guy a lesson."
Gu Shi nodded, "I understand."
Soon it was Gu Shi and Joyce's turn to fight.
The two men stood on the ring, and Gu Shi noticed that Joyce's face suddenly turned ugly.
As the start command was given, Joyce took the lead and many sharp spikes suddenly emerged from the ground under Gu Shi's feet.
Gu Shi was not at all panicked. After giving himself a sprint buff, he easily avoided Joyce's attack. After knowing that Joyce was an earth mage, he became wary of attacks from under his feet.
After leaving the spot, Gu Shi fired several wind blades, but they were all blocked by Joyce.
However, Gu Shi had not originally intended to defeat Joyce with such a simple attack, so the two of them kept testing each other.
Halfway through the battle, Gu Shi suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet become muddy. Thinking that Joyce also studied water magic, he immediately used ice magic to freeze the surrounding ground.
Joyce couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his plan was discovered. He had wanted to use this trick to restrict Gu Shi's actions, but he didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
As Gu Shi was moving, he saw the earth spikes standing around him and suddenly came up with an idea.
He first cut off several earth thorns while attacking Joyce with wind blades, and then used magic to crush the earth thorns into fine particles in a place where Joyce didn't notice.
Next, Gu Shi changed Joyce's position through his movements. Just after he turned to the direction Gu Shi needed, Gu Shi suddenly blew a strong wind.
The powerful airflow carried the fine dust on the ground and blew towards Joyce like a sandstorm.
He was caught off guard and his face was instantly covered with sand. The elemental shield could protect against magical attacks, but it could not protect against such fine sand. Joyce began to cough violently.
Seeing that Joyce's vision was not only blocked, but he also couldn't stop coughing, Gu Shi naturally took this opportunity to send him out of the ring.
The winner has been decided.
When both of them walked down the ring and came to Ilsa, she first praised Gu Shi a lot for his quick thinking and quick reaction, then criticized Joyce for his carelessness, and finally pointed out some of Gu Shi's shortcomings. It can be said that she was quite responsible.
Seeing that Joyce's face was not very good, Gu Shi wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say.
Joyce noticed Gu Shi's gaze. Thinking of his boasting before the match, his face flushed. "Don't be complacent. I was careless this time. I will definitely not lose next time."
Ah, does my expression look smug?
Gu Shi couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.
Ilsa smiled and punched Joyce on the head. "What nonsense are you saying to your junior? Gu Shi was just concerned about you. Apologize quickly. Also, be a man. If you lose, you lose. Admit your defeat bravely and don't make excuses."
Under Ilsa's punishment, Joyce said sorry in a wronged manner.
Then Ilsa added, "Also, since you lost the competition, you must report to me every day from now on."
Joyce replied, "I see."
Then he walked up to Gu Shi and said as if declaring war: "After I finish my special training, we will have another match. The winner will definitely be me."
Gu Shi did not refuse, "Okay, I agree."
Looking at Joyce who was in high spirits again, Gu Shi felt a little emotional. This guy looked like a vicious school bully, but he didn't expect that he was actually quite normal.
After Joyce returned to the crowd, Ilsa said with emotion, "Joyce is finally starting to look presentable. Don't worry, Gu Shi. Although he may be a bit domineering, he won't resort to the despicable tactics of bullying his classmates. Don't worry about him causing trouble for you."
The Raman family has strict family rules, and Joyce has been influenced by them since he was a child. In his opinion, bullying the weak is something that only incompetent people would do.
