Chapter 254 Uproar
Mabuli thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Daniel, could it be... could it be that you still like Dora?"
When Daniel heard this, he shuddered, and then said in a panic: "I...you...why did you suddenly ask this?"
Seeing his performance, Mabuli also had some ideas in mind.
"Give up. There's no possibility between you two... Remember, we are mortal enemies! So, tell me, do you still like Dora?"
Daniel lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before answering, "I...I don't know..."
Although he did not get a positive answer, Mabuli's expression eased a little. Perhaps this answer had already satisfied him enough.
“Daniel, the time to decide the fate of the Sig family… has arrived!
And I hope that on that day, there will be a place for you standing beside me...
Daniel raised his head suddenly, "Please rest assured, brother, I will definitely help you achieve that goal!"
Mabuli smiled slightly, "The Xige family will surely rise to glory again in the hands of us two brothers!"
……
Time flies, and today is the day when the third round of the College Cup begins.
Accompanied by Billie and Graya, Leon slowly came to the duel arena.
The duel arena was bustling with people at this time, and as soon as Leon came in, he saw the most active people such as Alavilla and Woking.
And Alavera did not disappoint Leon. When Leon looked at him, it was as if his radar was turned on...
Alavera quickly caught sight of León and waved enthusiastically.
At the same time, at Alavilla's reminder, Woking turned around and quickly greeted Leon.
Noticing this scene, Billie and Graya beside Leon were surprised.
"Junior...you seem to be very familiar with Senior Alavera?"
Leon shook his head. "Not really familiar, we've only dealt with each other a few times."
"No, Aravela-senpai is very enthusiastic, but when he's this enthusiastic...it seems like it's really rare."
At this point, Graya thought for a moment and reminded him: "Junior, don't underestimate him just because of this. In the academy, even professors won't take the initiative to offend Alavera."
"offend?"
Graya paused, "Yes, it is an offense. Alavilla's power is actually stronger than that of an ordinary professor, but because of his usual behavior, this fact is buried."
Leon had long felt that Alavera was special. He could sense him instantly every time...
Leon has to express his admiration for this ability.
Plus, he now has Graya's "certification"...
Leon couldn't help but feel a little confused. He was so capable... why did he still go out to do business himself every day?
Is there something you can't hide?
Because Leon arrived on time, he didn't have to wait long before the third round was about to begin.
With the guidance of Billie and Graya, Leon already had an understanding of the general process, so he leisurely observed the wizards around him.
As he watched, Leon found Nash waving vigorously in the viewing stand.
Next to Nash was Dick, and when they saw that Leon had found them, they jumped up with joy.
To Leon's surprise, Dick was also jumping around...
This was so different from his previous image that Leon couldn't react for a moment...
It seems that when the “E” person is around, the “i” person may also have more energy than usual.
Smiling at the two of them, Leon saw Bertha not far away.
Bertha was waving at him too, and she even blew Leon a kiss.
But... Bertha quickly sat back down, and her expression turned somewhat ugly.
Leon: “?”
What's going on? Why did you look down at me?
Just as he was wondering, Leon turned his head and saw Billie and Graya staring at Bertha with murderous eyes, as if they were going to tear Bertha to pieces in the next second...
Thinking of how Bertha's belly had become swollen, Leon felt inexplicably embarrassed...
"Junior brother, are you feeling sorry for her?"
Leon was stunned when he heard this, "Ah? What? Senior Sister, what are you talking about?"
Seeing Leon pretending to be stupid, Graya smiled and said, “Billie, it seems that you haven’t done enough. Look at Leon, you still have the mind to look for someone else!”
Billie rolled her eyes at Leon, then suddenly took two steps closer to him and whispered a number.
"eleven……"
But Billie changed her mind and said, "No, let's make it fifteen."
Leon: "..."
In this situation, Leon didn't dare to say anything. These two people were really ruthless when they got together. They understood many things very thoroughly, as if they had learned them by themselves.
but……
Fifteen...fifteen times?!
Will he still make it? Won't it be hard for him to even stand up by then?!
Just when Leon wanted to "bargain", cheers suddenly broke out in the duel arena.
Leon took a quick look and saw that it was the "host" who came on stage.
According to the senior sister, before the formal duel, adhering to the principles of "fairness, justice and openness", a drawing of lots will be conducted first, which is the so-called "unveiling ceremony".
After the list is announced, the prizes will be announced.
Because the top 20 are all the best in their class, even the 20th place will receive a reward, it's just that the reward is smaller...
Sure enough, the general process was basically the same as what Billie and the others said.
The "host" who announced the list was a professor who looked somewhat familiar, but Leon had only seen him twice with Hemeri.
Leon silently calculated that there seemed to be many more professors in the Black Bone Forest than he had imagined.
Apart from those currently "active" in the academy, I heard that many are stationed in other small worlds or middle worlds...
There is no big world in the Black Bone Forest. I heard that in the continent where they are, there are no more than ten forces that possess big worlds.
Among them, the academic city in the East Continent is one of them.
On the duel stage, the host cleared his throat.
He didn't use a microphone or anything like that, but with the help of amplification, his voice could be heard in every corner of the duel arena.
However, if there is a wizard outside the arena, he will not be able to hear the sound. This is because there is another medium to large wizard formation in the duel arena, which can provide good sound insulation.
"Everyone, I'm Robinson. Now, I'll announce the top 20..."
At this point, Robinson smiled. "Pay attention, the following rankings do not represent your abilities, so don't overthink it."
Leon: "..."
"Hmm... Let me see, the first one of the lower level of the first order... Ahem! Alexander!"
"Roar!"
"Ah? Alexander? Who has he ever defeated?"
"Don't worry about who he can beat, just tell me who dares to hit him! He's the dean's own son!"
……
The first one caused a huge uproar, because everyone had only heard of Alexander's reputation, but had never seen Alexander fight with real weapons...
Therefore, some wizards immediately expressed their dissatisfaction with this ranking.
Robinson naturally didn't care about the discussions or protests of the little wizards. He glanced at the two little wizards who were making the loudest noise, and then continued, "The second one... hehe, Beatrice Seager!"
The duel arena, which was noisy just now, suddenly became silent.
Even Leon couldn't help but frown. Beatrice? Wasn't she not there?
Why is she still ranked?!
Leon looked around and confirmed that there was no sign of Beatrice. If he wasn't the "murderer behind the scenes," he would have thought that Beatrice had been found and just didn't show up yet...
But Leon knew this, but others didn't.
At this moment in the duel arena, the discussions actually drowned out the previous discussion about Alexander.
"Beatrice? She's still alive?!"
"Nonsense! How could a young lady from the Sig family die in that forest? What a joke!"
"But... I don't seem to see Miss Beatrice..."
"What level are you? You still want to see Miss Beatrice? Just wait, when the duel comes, Miss Beatrice will be on stage!"
"Hilda is the most beautiful!"
……
Graya and Billie looked at each other, then asked in confusion, "Where is Beatrice?"
Billie shook her head. "She's not here, but this list..."
Leon was also confused. What on earth was going on?
Graya thought for a moment and gritted her teeth before saying, "The Sig family...I'm afraid they want a reward."
When Leon heard this, he was stunned. "Reward? No one is here yet, how can I get a reward?"
Graya sighed and said, "Graya just hasn't shown up yet. Who said she won't come?"
Leon: “?”
"Senior, these...are there any differences between these two statements?"
Graya smiled and said, "One was disdainful of attending the unveiling ceremony, and the other didn't even come. Do you think there's a difference?"
Leon: "..."
"But, Beatrice... No, what if Beatrice just doesn't come?"
Billie flicked Leon's forehead and said, "How do you prove it? Go to her lounge and see if she's there?"
Leon thought to himself: How can I prove it? Should I scatter her ashes on the spot?
"Junior brother, since Professor Robinson can bring this up, it means that the academy...at least they know about this matter. So, no matter how much you question it, it's useless. Do you understand this?"
Leon could naturally understand. He had seen more unfair things in his two lives, so this was no big deal.
However, we will have to fight later, what should we do then?
Are they planning to release a replacement?
Leon thought for a while, but couldn't come up with an answer, so he stopped thinking about it and listened attentively to what Professor Robinson said next.
"The third one...Leon!"
Leon had already made his appearance, and the regular customers, or "gamblers" at the duel arena, immediately cheered.
Forget cheering, anyone who can bring them benefits and make them fly will be welcomed.
You know what, someone actually flew...
It was Woking. He flew half a circle around the duel arena in mid-air, muttering, "Hurry up if you haven't placed any bets yet, Leon, the Son of the Sea! The Son of the Sea!"
Leon: “?”
Am I crazy? !
Why didn't you come out and shout at the first two?! Do you think I'm easy to bully?!
At this moment, Graya beside her suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
"Junior, are you now...just called 'Tool Man'?"
The term "tool man" was what Leon told Graya last night.
Because Billie thinks the bed is too hard and always likes to use Gloria as a cushion, Leon jokingly calls Gloria a "tool man".
I didn't expect to be hit by a boomerang so soon.
Leon opened his mouth and said helplessly: “As long as the senior sister is happy.”
Woking flew another half circle, and several wizards appeared below. They immediately dispersed and went to collect the bets...
Woking flew near Leon and suddenly shouted.
"Leon!"
Leon looked over when he heard the voice, and saw Woking giving him a very bright smile, while making a "1" gesture with his hand.
Leon was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening. He nodded, and Woking's smile became even brighter and more sincere...
As soon as Woking left, Billie grabbed Leon's arm.
"Junior brother, what did he mean just now?"
As she spoke, Billie also imitated Woking and gestured the number "1".
Leon smiled and said, "This is my share. Senior sister, just consider it as my cooperation fee."
"Share...cooperation fee?"
Billie pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh, "I can't believe someone could actually receive money from Alavera...for free!"
Billy patted Leon’s shoulder and said, “Brother, don’t worry, I’ll bet on you to win!”
Leon waved his hand, but a sentence came out of his mouth: “Thank you for your support, senior sister!”
Graya also said with a smile: "The more we bet, the more you earn, right? Then I will support you a little bit!"
……
Robinson continued to introduce, and soon Leon heard two more familiar names.
"The seventh... Kaiyan..."
"The eleventh...Dreke..."
"Seventeenth... Samuel..."
"..."
After Robinson read out the last name, he symbolically threw the list in his hand onto the table below.
This means that from this moment on, the list will not change.
"Okay, these are the top twenty teams from the first-level lower-level group of this Academy Cup. First of all, let's congratulate them!"
There was no cheering, no applause, everyone was waiting for the duel to begin.
Robinson smiled and said nonchalantly, "Next, the first person on the list will face the twentieth person on the list... and so on. So... you can begin!"
Leon took a deep breath. Just as he was about to go on stage, he was pulled back by Graya.
"Junior brother! Wait a minute!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"You've already won, Samuel admits defeat."
