Kenan, who had already finished the challenge, rushed over, his face flushed, his eyes flashing with a fiery light, and he opened his arms and hugged Ed, shouting excitedly: "Ed, you are so awesome! You got such a high score in your first participation, 137! This is so cool, I can't believe it!"
The students who were watching the game around him also cast astonished glances at him. They gathered around him involuntarily, their words full of praise and admiration for Ed's achievements.
Borg, Riel, Tanis and Jeliya also hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and surrounded him. They all talked to each other and marveled at Ed's strength. After all, it was rare for first-year students to be able to reach the top 50 in the first challenge.
Ke Nan and the others couldn't help but complain at this time. He said with a sad face, "This points challenge is really too difficult. The five of us tried our best, but no one's score exceeded 100 points. Compared with Ed's score, it is really a big gap."
Just as Ed was about to speak to comfort his lost companions, suddenly, a deafening series of explosions came from the stone platform beside him.
On the stone platform next to Ed, a girl with fiery red hair stood gracefully in the center, like a scorching sun, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Her long red hair, like burning flames, was spread out behind her, swaying gently with her movements, like jumping flames.
Under the smooth forehead are a pair of eyes as bright as stars, deep and bright, flashing with confidence and agility. The girl's thoughts seem to be hidden in her eyes.
Her nose is high and straight, like a carefully carved jade peak, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to her delicate face. The small lips were slightly raised with a hint of innate pride, but at this moment they were tightly pursed because of the focus on the challenge at hand, making them look even more resolute.
She was wearing the student uniform of the Arcane Academy. The hem of her skirt fluttered gently in the wind, sparkling in the sunlight, highlighting her graceful figure.
Around her, the magic power of the fire element surged wildly. She danced her hands and muttered something, and as her spell sounded, countless tiny and hot sparks continuously poured out from her palms. These sparks seemed to be given life, jumping and dancing happily, and gradually connected into a gorgeous and dazzling sea of fire.
Under the ravages of the sea of fire, the floating balls were like fragile bubbles. They were instantly shattered and turned into bits of magic debris that dissipated in the air.
As the bell rang clearly, the scoreboard above the fiery red-haired girl's head lit up instantly, with a striking number "153" shining brightly.
Wow——
When the students around saw the result, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. This girl was clearly participating in the points challenge for the first time, but she actually scored a high score of 153 and directly made it into the top 30! This was truly incredible, and everyone was whispering to each other, admiring her performance.
"Angelica Rudeus! This is the talent I have my eyes on, but unfortunately she is the daughter of Duke Rudeus of the Dawn Empire. With her noble status, I'm sure she won't want to join our team." Carl stood aside, frowning slightly, his eyes full of regret and sighs, and spoke softly.
Merlin stood on a high place, his eyes also fell on the girl on the stage, thinking to himself: Is she the daughter of Duke Rudeus of the Dawn Empire? I seem to have some impression of him. I guess I met him once when I was a child?
After all, the Leo family is an old noble family in the Dawn Empire. Rudeus seems to be one of the few nobles in the Dawn Empire who has not lowered his status. It is said that this incident has angered the royal family.
Angelica Rudeus slowly turned around and looked at the students around her. At this moment, she is like a red rose blooming among thorns, so bright and dazzling, and her arrogant and cold temperament seems to be innate, just like a queen high above, with a distant look in her eyes that keeps people at a distance.
Her gaze slowly swept over every student who was watching her below. However, the moment her eyes accidentally met Ed's, her originally cold face suddenly revealed a rare look of panic.
The moment Ed's eyes met hers, his expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with fear.
That's right, they both recognized each other. After all, what happened in that dark and deep alley many years ago was like a nightmare, which had a profound and unforgettable impact on both of them.
It’s him (her)!
Ed and Angelica were both extremely panicked at the moment. Those long-forgotten memories surged into their hearts like a tide, making them a little at a loss for a moment.
Angelica quickly walked off the stage, lowering her head and thinking, how could that guy appear here? There was no way she was mistaken; that guy was the boy she had “bullied” in the alley a few years ago!
Angelica remembered that the boy should be a civilian, so how could he appear in the Arcane Academy? This gave her a headache. After experiencing the incident in the alley, as she grew up, she realized how excessive and childish she was in bullying others in the past.
Over the years, Angelica has been trying every means to make amends to those she bullied, but she couldn't find the boy in the alley, and she thought they would never meet again in this life.
I didn’t expect to meet him at the Arcane Academy! Angelica hid in a corner with few people around, covering her heart with her hands. What should she do? If others knew that the daughter of Duke Rudeus, the flaming rose of the Arcane Academy, was actually a nasty bully when she was a child, then...
This is absolutely not allowed! Angelica held her head and shook it back and forth, feeling extremely panicked. She was afraid that Ed would say something, such as when she was a child, she wanted to strip Ed naked and become his slave...
Bang bang bang! Angelica's face flushed as she hugged the wall and banged her forehead against it. The force was so great that it even broke part of the wall. A little blood flowed down her forehead.
What a shame! So shameful! At this point, the only thing to do is to make that guy shut up forever, right? !
"Angelica, how come you run so fast? I almost couldn't catch up with you."
Behind Angelica, Belinda came over with some concern. Angelica was the first true friend she made after coming to the Arcane Academy. Her concern came from the heart and was not mixed with any interests.
