Magic!

At noon, the bright sunshine shines on the Arctic Wolf mansion.

"That's right, brother, I haven't found any teammates to participate in the Academy Star Competition yet."

Arctic Wolf was talking on the phone with his brother Bai in the living room.

He received a message from Russell not long ago. Russell said that he had found a fourth-year talent who was willing to take him to participate in the Academy Star Competition, and there was no need to join the Arctic Wolf team.

That leaves two of the Arctic Wolf's third-year teammates in undecided status.

Arctic Wolf knew very well how he, an ordinary person who was not even a first-year transcendent, could compete with a fourth-year powerhouse.

He then decided not to participate in the competition simply because he couldn't find a suitable teammate.

However, just now, Bai, who had recently been promoted to third grade, called and expressed that he wanted to form a team with his brother and participate in the Academy Star Competition together.

"What? You want to team up with me?"

Arctic Wolf's hand holding the phone was trembling, his face was purple, and sweat was flowing down his face like a waterfall.

It's over, it's over, teaming up with your brother, doesn't this reveal everything?

"Brother, your idea is very good, but according to the rules, I need a teammate to participate. It is not easy to find another third-year student who I trust...

"Wait a minute, are you talking about Yinhu, the leader of our White Wolf Club? Oh, yes, he was promoted to the Higher Academy last year! He, I don't like his character very much...

"Look, brother, since we don't have any suitable teammates, how about we just..."

Before Arctic Wolf finished speaking, he was stunned.

On the seat opposite the coffee table, there was a little boy with a cute face carrying a military green schoolbag.

"When did you come in?"

When Arctic Wolf suddenly broke into his home and saw Duncan sitting across from the coffee table leisurely drinking his own black tea, he was shocked and almost shouted to catch the thief.

When Duncan left the seal and walked out of the library last year, he did not meet the Arctic Wolf. The Arctic Wolf did not know what happened in the cave under the library.

Therefore, he was very unfamiliar with the appearance of the principal.

Fortunately, the silver badge on the boy's chest, which represented his identity as a third-year student in the Department of Astrology and Numerology, calmed the Arctic Wolf down a bit.

This boy is one of the 7 freshmen entering the higher education institution this year? Arctic Wolf suddenly made a guess.

Last month, Arctic Wolf had heard the legend about this new class of college freshmen.

In the past, only two or three students were able to advance to the third grade and enter higher education every year. In some years, it is common for no student to pass the practical entrance examination for higher education, and all students are unable to be promoted.

However, this year, seven freshmen were admitted to the College of Higher Education, almost setting a record in the history of the college.

The seven freshmen are Russell, Subway, Clara, Duncan, Violet, Bai and Crescent.

Among them, the first four are even more terrifying. In the actual combat assessment, they even hunted the strong men of the Academy of Higher Education as prey and achieved numerous results. Such feats directly caused a big wave of waves in the Academy of Higher Education. Many students from colleges and universities rushed to discuss it.

"Duncan?"

Arctic Wolf moved the phone away a little, looked at the silver badge on the boy's chest that represented the thread of fate and the web pattern, and tentatively asked the name he had heard.

"Brother, why did you suddenly stop talking? Did something happen?" Bai's confused voice came from the other end of the phone.

Duncan took another sip of Arctic Wolf's tea, put down the tea cup, walked to Arctic Wolf's phone in a swagger, pressed the hands-free button, and said to the other end of the phone:

"Hello, classmate Bai from the Department of Elements and Energy. I am another teammate of your brother Arctic Wolf, Duncan, a third-year student in the Department of Astrology and Numerology."

He used firm sentences that seemed unquestionable and stated objective facts.

Arctic Wolf quickly turned off the hands-free status and questioned:

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, we don't know each other yet. How can you be so sure that I am willing to take you to participate in the Academy Star Competition!"

It is entirely the fourth grade student's right to choose who to be his teammate!

Duncan smiled, put his hands behind his back, and said without any panic:

"The boss of the White Wolf Club, Arctic Wolf, a fourth-year student in the academy, is really strong in the middle of his second year. He only reached his current position with the help of Thorn Bird's cheating.

"Actually, he is an ordinary person without extraordinary talents. He relied on the awakening potion provided by the thorn bird to awaken spiritually. Because he has not taken the medicine for a while, he is now no different from an ordinary person..."

"Stop! Stop talking!" Arctic Wolf pressed the handset of the phone that had not been hung up and quickly stopped Duncan from speaking, "Who told you this?"

"It's not important." Duncan shrugged, unceremoniously, and sat down next to the Arctic Wolf. Under the stunned and frightened eyes of the Arctic Wolf, he clicked the speakerphone button again and made a gesture to the Arctic Wolf. Please gesture.

Bai Cuo's stunned voice came from the phone:

"Brother. Is the person who just spoke on the other end of the phone really another teammate you are looking for? He sounds quite young!"

Duncan looked at the Arctic Wolf with a smile, as if it said "You know what to say to your brother next" on his face.

The Arctic wolf shivered, showing a helpless expression, closed his eyes, and said hesitantly to his brother:

"Bai, yes, that classmate Duncan just now is another of our teammates. This completes the three-person team participating in the Academy Star Competition. Uh-huh, I'm on the speakerphone now, what do you want to say? Talk to classmate Duncan?"

On the other end of the phone, Bai's tone was filled with disdain:

"Brother, I remember that Duncan is a freshman who just joined the college. He can definitely find better and more outstanding teammates. Wouldn't it really be a hindrance to find a freshman in the college who majored in astrology and numerology? ?”

In Bai's opinion, the reason why a freshman like him was lucky enough to team up with the Arctic Wolf was because of the special relationship between brothers.

Normally, if a big brother like me, who has been in the academy for many years, is looking for teammates, he will definitely look for those super geniuses who have been in the third grade for many years!

Before Arctic Wolf, who looked so embarrassed that he was about to drip with embarrassment, could explain, he heard Bai Qingmiao's cold snort coming from the other end of the phone:

"Are you that Duncan? I'm warning you, don't hold your brother back in the Academy Stars Competition! Otherwise, I won't let you go easily!"

Stop talking, stop talking, brother, please stop talking. The Arctic Wolf almost fainted and kept apologizing to Duncan with his eyes, expressions and gestures.

As the principal of the college and one of the three most powerful beings in the entire supernatural world, Duncan would naturally not argue with Arctic Wolf, an ordinary person without extraordinary abilities. He just responded with a smile and replied in vain:

"I know, no problem. Even though I just joined the Academy this year, I'm actually very good at it."

Bai said a few more words with emotion and hung up the phone.

"Okay, Arctic Wolf, hurry up and report our team of three to the official website." Duncan smiled and looked at Arctic Wolf who was about to cry.

…

High School accommodation area, Ares' mansion.

"That's it. With the help of a friend who is very good at divination and detection spells, I found this missing stone of destiny in an empty villa. Now I will hand it back to you."

Russell returned the Tablet of Destiny to the five people from the Star Magic Research Society.

Under the influence of the power of the stone tablet, Clara has been transformed into a recipient of the power of faith. Even if the stone tablet is returned later, it will not affect Clara's continued drawing of the power of faith from believers.

The five people from the Spell Research Club thanked him profusely, took out various strange instruments, and checked whether there was any damage or other problems with the destiny stone.

The more they checked, the more solemn the expressions of several members of the research club became.

"How is it possible? How is it possible?"

"The wave frequency of the detection spell feedback has changed!"

"There is also a new name on the slate."

"The directed test of the power of faith also did not meet expectations."

Seeing this, Russell asked doubtfully:

"What's going on? Is the stone slab you developed unable to be used normally?"

Heimdall pushed up his glasses and raised his head suddenly:

"On the contrary! This stone slab, which can gather the power of faith, has been completely upgraded and transformed during the period of time it was lost. It is completely different from the experimental product that could only be regarded as a toy before, and has real practical value!"

Cheers broke out among the five people.

It seems that the level of the Old Order people is not bad... The corner of Russell's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt a little funny.

Watching Russell leave, Ares took out his mobile phone and looked at the other four members with a look of regret:

"What a pity. Just now, the official website of the college updated Mr. Arctic Wolf's team. As expected, Mr. Arctic Wolf did not find anyone from our research club to form a team. It seems that our research club really missed the Academy Star Competition. "

Did Arctic Wolf successfully find two teammates?

Russell, who had just left the villa, heard the discussion inside the door and immediately made a suspicion. He also took out his mobile phone and clicked on the official website of the college.

For the Academy Star Competition, which is held every 10 years, the current college official website has spared no effort to promote it. Even the headline of the official website is "Academy Star Competition Event". The college has even set up a sub-forum for discussion. Topics related to the competition.

Although the competition has not officially started yet, the excitement for the event is already getting higher and higher.

It is completely unimaginable how high the popularity will be when the Academy Stars Competition actually begins?

It will definitely get the attention of thousands of teachers and students in the school!

I saw an important news update in the event progress column.

Team 4: Arctic Wolf, Bai, Duncan

Before this news, there were two other teams that had been confirmed.

Team 1: Traveler, Black Rose, and Military Thorn

Team 2: Hui Yao, Crescent Moon, Spark

Team 3: Clown, Greenbeard, Bluebeard.

Good guy, Mr. Principal has indeed gone to find the Arctic Wolf. Seeing that his suspicion had been verified, Russell chuckled in his heart.

Next, I only need to wait for Clara to stabilize and jump to the fourth grade, and then there will be a fifth team... I will also speed up the progress of spiritual practice and extraordinary practice, and strive to reach the third grade before the start of the competition in three months. At the peak of his later career, he became the most outstanding group among the third-year students in the College of Higher Education!

Russell set a goal and began to think about what method he should use to practice black magic.

…

The residential area of ​​the High School, Russell's mansion.

Russell, who was sitting in an easy chair, brushed his magic weapon on his mobile phone.

This mobile phone, which contains part of his soul and subconscious, will regularly record Russell's physical and mental state, including every spiritual improvement.

Russell was looking through the previous message records to check the specific time points and behaviors during the long period of time since he entered the Rules and Weird Talk Gallery, and then during the long period of time in the M3 Research Institute, where he received extraordinary feedback.

Every student has a different way of practicing excellence and getting feedback, and they can only find their own path that suits them.

In addition to causing pain to the monsters and the guardians of the corridor space, unearthing the darkness, and exposing the darkness, there is another factor that Russell had not noticed before, which seems to have also received spiritual feedback.

When you ask the Demon King for help!

Sure enough, the body is integrated with the Demon King, and when necessary, he calls upon the Demon King's power to destroy, attack and destroy. This does look like what a dark wizard should do! Russell suddenly felt that everything made sense.

"Mr. Demon King Xiaoming, I may need your help next!" Russell told the devil in his heart this information.

"You don't have to be so open-minded, young man. After all, we are partners who have fought together!" The devil in his heart stretched out a hand from Russell's left chest and patted Russell's shoulder with an awkward movement.

"Okay, Mr. Wang Xiaoming, please try to reveal some of your power now."

At Russell's request, the heart in his chest beat twice suddenly.

A ball of flame burst out from the ground in front, and the Demon King's muscular body stepped out of the flame.

The Demon King summoned his own projection clone!

Russell closed his eyes and looked inside his spiritual state to see if there was any spiritual feedback.

He did feel the spiritual feedback from practicing the extraordinary, but it was extremely weak and could be ignored.

It seems that there is still something missing... Russell tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and after thinking about it over and over again, he finally figured it out——

He also has to drive the Demon King to attack and destroy in order to get complete feedback!

After Russell informed the Demon King of his conclusion, he also proposed a solution:

“We can hunt extraordinary creatures in the jungle.

"In order to guard against the thorn birds, it is not suitable for me to leave the range of the college's protective shield. I may have to trouble Mr. Wang Xiaoming to send his projection clone into the dense forest, is that okay?"

"What's the matter? I just need some exercise!" The devil in his heart patted his chest.

Over the next few weeks, a legend spread around the academy.

At night, there seemed to be a red meteor piercing the sky and falling into the dense forest, and a series of explosions were heard in the distance.

From time to time, red firelight dyed the night red, turning the night into crimson dusk.

…

With the help of the Demon King, Russell practiced the way of black magic. His spirituality increased rapidly, and he was approaching the peak of the late third grade step by step. Theoretically, at this speed, Russell could reach the half-step fourth grade in just three or four months. grade!

The former King of Demons has a very high status, and the feedback from his extraordinary practice is far greater than when he used to drive Wind Chime to make ghost films.

The various materials obtained from hunting extraordinary creatures were also given to Subway, the new extraordinary craftsman, giving him the opportunity to practice his creation skills and practice the "odds of things".

Russell himself was not idle during this period, repeatedly practicing the black magic from the scrolls of knowledge.

Previously in the Rules and Ghost Stories Gallery and the M3 Research Institute, he was not proficient enough in controlling black magic, and he did not exert the true power of these black magic at all.

As the black magic consumed the negative emotions in his heart, Russell became happier and more positive, and his heart was filled with infinite light.

By August, Russell gradually encountered new problems.

First, as the Demon King hunts more and more, the efficiency of spiritual feedback drops rapidly.

Russell is no stranger to this change. If he practices excellence in the same monotonous way, the efficiency of feedback will become less and less efficient. He also needs to find new methods.

Unfortunately, if the school and the Supreme Council hadn't compromised, I would have disclosed everything I saw and heard in the M3 Institute to the entire supernatural world. The huge spiritual feedback would have been enough for me to enter the fourth grade at once... …

Second, as he performed black magic more and more often, his psychological shadow area became smaller and smaller, and there was really not much negative emotion that could support him to continue practicing.

Russell, who was pacing in his villa, was thinking and had a new idea.

His black magic is special and will directly consume negative emotions.

So can you use other people's negative emotions to cast your own black magic?

As a mutant, Russell immediately began research and quickly achieved results:

"Mr. Wang Xiaoming, I found a place where a lot of negative energy gathers. This negative energy can help me perform black magic."

"Where?" asked the devil in his heart.

"Internet!" Russell said, using his magic phone to connect to the college WiFi:

"Due to its special mechanism, the Internet naturally encourages the dissemination of controversial information and brings together a lot of opposition, disputes and abuse. As a dark wizard, I need to use these negative energies to perform black magic and purify the Internet at the same time. environment!"

…

Over the next two months, a hero traveled through forums and group chats.

Whenever someone starts a fight, trolls, or curses, or whenever there are groups that are at odds with each other, he will always stand up and offer kind words.

Miraculously, it seems that as soon as they see this unknown hero's post, the negative energy in people's hearts will be reduced a lot, and the anger that was originally concentrated on the keyboard will dissipate.

"Why should I waste time exchanging insults with people I don't know across the computer and mobile screen? I can't convince the other person anyway." After calming down, the netizens felt that their psychological shadow area had been reduced a lot.

In this way, Russell shuttled through the Internet, purifying the environment of one community after another.

Another noon, feeling the negative energy spurting out from the mobile phone, converting it into death rays shooting into the sky, Russell's face was filled with a smile of relief.

This is what a dark wizard should do!

…

In September, the college ushered in the opening season, and many students who left the college during the holidays returned to the college.

Both the actual two colleges and the official website of the college were busy.

New freshmen are also arriving one after another. Among the lakeside and groves of the junior college, in the teaching buildings and cafeterias, freshmen from different families, secret societies or ordinary families began their own magical campus life.

Clara, who had determined that she was stable at the half-step fourth-grade level, published an occult paper with the help of many members of the Old Order, passed the third-grade assessment, and began to go through the procedures for skipping a grade.

At the same time, Clara applied for a student loan and obtained the fourth-year knowledge scroll "Dream Building" in the Department of Psychiatry and Illusion.

The upper limit for students in colleges and universities to apply for student loans at one time is 300 college gold coins.

The textbook fee for the fourth grade, which is the selling price of the knowledge scroll, is 500 college gold coins. Clara had already spent all her savings when she was promoted to third grade.

A large group of members of the Old Order who were already living in Clara's villa as their entourage just helped to collect the remaining 200 college gold coins.

Although the believers seemed not to ask Miss Clara to pay back the money, Clara still said that she would definitely pay back the money.

Finally, the number of fourth-year students in the College of Higher Education reached five.

On the day Clara was promoted, a new team was added to the competition section of the academy's official website.

Team 5: Clara, Russell, Subway!

…

Time flies, and October is here.

The much-anticipated Academy Star Competition has finally begun!
