Ronin returned to his seat and asked Knight Reis beside him, "Could this Franz be the descendant of the mage 'Berola Silva' of the Amethyst Earldom?"
Reese nodded. "You guessed correctly. He is the great-great-grandson of the honorable Mage Bellora."
When he mentioned this name, his eyes revealed admiration.
"Although Franz is only 23 or 24 years old, he is not only a bronze knight, but also the youngest great magician in the magic academy."
Roning's gaze could not help but focus on Franz. He did not expect that the other party was a master of both magic and martial arts, and both professions had reached level four.
He couldn't help but praise: "As expected of a descendant of the magician. I wonder if he can win this battle."
“It’s a bit difficult.”
Reese said: "Karada is very fast."
While the two were talking, the host had already announced the start of the fight. As the horn sounded, the entire arena erupted in cheers.
"I've heard for a long time that there is a talented magician in the Magic Academy, and today I finally got to see his true appearance."
Karada did not attack immediately, but saluted Franz with a knight's salute, "It is my honor to meet you on the field today!"
"I have also heard of your name for a long time, Sir Knight."
Franz's voice was elegant, "I need to cast magic, you can attack me."
As he spoke, he had already begun to outline the spell patterns.
"It's the third-level wind attribute magic 'Speed'."
Roning identified at a glance what magic the other party was using. Facing the super-fast Karada, using this magic was very appropriate.
What surprised Ronin was that Karada did not take the initiative to attack while the other party was concentrating magic. Instead, he waited quietly for Franz to finish casting the spell.
If on the battlefield, the warrior will never wait for the mage to cast the spell, and will definitely interrupt the opponent's spellcasting before the mage finishes casting the spell.
However, this is not a battlefield of life and death, and the opponent is not an enemy, but a descendant of a great noble family.
It was a rare opportunity for Karada, an ordinary person of common origin, to participate in this tournament. In this tournament, while demonstrating his own strength, he also needed to show a little grace. Even if he won the game, he had to try his best to avoid offending any nobles.
Knowing when to stop and being appropriately humble are necessary.
Franz finished casting the spell quickly, and with the help of speed magic, his speed was greatly improved.
"Thank you for your humility, Knight Karada."
Franz said, "Now, we can begin."
As soon as the words came out, the two of them moved almost at the same time.
In the previous competition, Roning had carefully observed Karada's fighting. He rarely used offensive fighting skills, and the ones he used most were acceleration skills.
Karada was seen covered with purple thunder fighting spirit all over his body.
Reese introduced that this is the third-level fighting skill of thunder attribute "Thunder Speed", which can stimulate the knight's physical activity and greatly increase the knight's speed.
Look, in just a blink of an eye, the opponent crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and the speed was so fast that most people could not keep up.
However, with the help of magic, Franz was not much slower in speed.
With a loud clang, the two men collided in the center of the arena.
With the addition of speed, the force became even heavier. Coupled with the impact force formed by the fighting spirit, Franz's face suddenly changed, and the whole person stumbled backwards at a rapid speed.
On the other hand, Karada only took three steps back.
"Pay attention!"
This time he didn't wait, but took advantage of the situation and rushed forward.
Franz took advantage of the situation to create some distance between himself and his opponent, thus buying himself more time to cast the second spell.
However, this time Karada approached so forcefully that he didn't have enough time to cast the spell. He had no choice but to raise his sword to meet the enemy.
When Ronin saw this, he knew that Karada was going to win.
Although Franz came from a prominent family and was talented in both fighting spirit and magic, and could use magic to reach the same speed as his opponent, the gap in strength between him and Karada was too great, and he was completely unable to compete in close combat.
If he could be faster than Karada, he could create some distance and gain time to cast magic.
For example, the fourth-level magic wind tentacles, once used, may be able to win the fight by controlling the opponent.
But he had no time, so defeat was inevitable.
This is also the disadvantage of the magician. On the battlefield, if a knight gets close to him, it will be very dangerous.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, magicians are protected by knights and will not let the enemy get close easily.
If it is a life-and-death battle, you only need to land on it to take the opponent's life.
“I lost.”
Franz said helplessly, then smiled again: "You are worthy of being the youngest and most powerful knight in Oxhorn Bay!"
Karada put away his sword and pulled the man up: "If you were the same age as me, I would not be your opponent."
If Franz is given two more years, he might actually win.
The humility of the two drew praise from the host and warm cheers from the audience.
Franz bowed gracefully to the audience and walked down the arena with Karada.
"It's your turn."
Reese said, "Don't lose to a female knight."
Luo Ning laughed, left his seat and walked towards the fighting arena.
In another direction, a knight in silver armor and a helmet covering his face slowly walked onto the arena.
As Missy came on the stage, the entire arena was filled with the warmest cheers and applause.
One reason is that Knight Missy is the only female knight in this round. On the other hand, as a member of the Griffin Knights, Missy already has considerable fame in Golden Feather City.
Listening to the overwhelming cheers, Roning couldn't help but be amazed. No matter which world they are in, strong women will be sought after wherever they go.
Karada's eyes followed the figure.
Listening to the thunderous cheers, he felt that the gap between them was too big and the pressure in his heart was enormous.
"Dear Miss Missy, I didn't expect that there would be a fight between you and me." Roning greeted humbly.
At that time, he felt a certain amount of pressure when facing the female knight riding a griffin in Wushan Castle, but now he feels more relaxed.
The female knight's voice came from under the cold helmet: "I didn't expect to have such an opportunity, honorable Count Wubeiling."
Blanche in the stands looked at the two nervously.
One is her good friend and bestie, and the other is her lover. She can only cheer for both of them.
But if you listen carefully, she seems to call Luo Ning's name more often.
After a few simple words, the two men were already in an attacking stance.
In order to show respect for Missy and Blanche's friends, Roning did not win quickly, but exchanged a few moves with the opponent first.
As a member of the Griffin Knights, Missy has a good foundation in Kung Fu.
However, in front of Ronin, her situation was the same as Franz's, the power gap was too big.
"I have been fighting with Missy for a long time. Is this Ronin not as strong as the rumors say?"
"One against ten, that's a bit too much."
Some people watched the fight back and forth and their comments were biased towards Missy.
However, some people could see clearly that Roning obviously did not use his full strength, and even so, Missy was still suppressed everywhere.
Finally, after a fight, Missy took a few steps back and did not continue attacking.
“I lost.”
She surrendered neatly: "You are stronger than I thought."
Missy thought her swordsmanship was not bad, but when facing Roning, she found that the opponent's swordsmanship was very clever both in defense and offense, making it impossible for her to make any progress.
As for strength and fighting skills, there was no very good effect after several fights.
She couldn't find any major flaws in Roning. On the contrary, if the latter used his full strength, she might be defeated quickly.
So she chose to admit defeat.
Luo Ning smiled and praised: "So far, you are the strongest opponent I have met in today's fight."
“Good luck in winning the next one.”
Missy saluted gracefully and then walked down the arena.
She glanced at Karada in the audience on the left, intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter nodded slightly.
Obviously, the two knew each other. (End of this chapter)
