"Nine people?" Royce was a little surprised. "Are all this year's students of such high quality?"
"Uh-huh, and this is only the first three waves. The last wave is still on its way here." The fox masked man scratched his head. "Sigh, but there seems to be a little too many people. With so many people, I don't know who to look for later. If I had known earlier, I would have set the standard a little higher to prevent any small fry from sneaking in."
The female archer had long since become accustomed to the fellow's capriciousness. Back then, it was this fellow who had insisted on splitting the fluctuation into four parts and extending the duration of the fourth fluctuation to ten seconds. The reason was that it would allow more people to participate in this game, so that tonight would be a little more lively.
Thus, in the end, a total of nineteen people arrived at the lakeside. These nineteen people weren't all here for the secrets of Siamos Academy. A portion of them were purely curious. There were also people from the disciplinary department, a man and a woman, two second grade magicians. It just so happened that it was their turn to be on duty tonight. When they sensed the unusual fluctuation, they immediately rushed over to investigate.
And the most obvious characteristic of this group of people was that they didn't disguise themselves. When they sensed the fluctuation, they picked up their staffs and went out. Especially the two from the student council, they even wore badges of the disciplinary department. Compared to the other five guys who were secretive and secretive, they appeared very generous and had no intention of hiding their identities. Of course, they couldn't rule out the possibility that there were some sneaky guys who deliberately did the opposite and pretended to be generous to mix in.
The fox masked man didn't care about the purpose of the people who came to the lakeside tonight. He only cared about whether the program later would be exciting enough.
The nineteen people in the crystal ball were currently carefully groping around the lakeside. The strange thing was that they didn't seem to sense each other's existence, including the man and woman from the disciplinary department. The two of them were walking away from each other step by step. Just a moment ago, two masked guys brushed past each other. The distance between them was less than half a step, and they were almost touching each other's faces, yet the two didn't have any reaction. "Maze, my favorite.
If you look inside from outside the range of this magic array, everything will be normal, just like any other day. You can see the lake, the trees by the shore, and even the owls on the trees. But once you step into the range of the magic array, all that's left is a vast expanse of white mist. In this mist, you'll lose all sense of direction and won't be able to hear any sound. Unless you hold hands, even the person who was next to you a second ago will disappear if you're not careful. "
"Moreover, this isn't the most powerful part of this magic array. Its invisibility is also superb. Unless it's a ninth grade supreme magus, it's impossible to see through my arrangement." The fox masked man snapped his fingers and said proudly. At the same time, he didn't forget to show off to Louys, "What do you think? Isn't the one who created this magic array much better than those idiots from the St. Roland Academy of Magic who only know how to burn money?"
"Hehe, I beg of you, idiot teacher. Next time before you brag, you should first understand the surrounding situation." The female archer pointed at an inconspicuous place on the crystal ball. In the end, the fox masked man saw a faint black shadow.
"Hey, you said that only a ninth grade supreme magus can see through it. Don't tell me that this person is just lucky and just happened to stop outside the range of your magic array."
"Huh? Where did this guy come from? I clearly didn't see him before. " The fox masked man felt a little strange. Not long ago, he had just counted the number of people and was very sure that there wasn't this black shadow at that time. In other words, this guy was likely to have just arrived.
The fox masked man muttered as he tapped on the crystal ball. The image of the twentieth person gradually became clear. It was a guy wearing a cloak. His face was hidden in the shadows. The only distinguishing feature of his appearance was his body, but this was the most useless information.
Because you didn't know how many clothes he was wearing under the cloak. However, such a cautious guy was carrying a very eye-catching golden staff in his hand.
"It's fake." The fox masked man only took a glance and came to a conclusion. "He should have used a camouflage spell. Or he is carrying some kind of magic device or secret treasure with a camouflage function. Hehe, this guy is a little interesting."
The fox masked man's so-called a little interesting was that since the other party had the ability to camouflage his staff into anything, he just had to choose such an eye-catching style. It was clear that he was telling people who wanted to investigate his background not to waste their efforts.
In other words, this guy was likely to see that tonight's magic fluctuations were a trap.
The cloaked man's action also proved this point. He stopped at a place some distance from the lake shore. He was motionless and seemed to be silently observing the surrounding environment.
He was the last person to arrive at the scene. Unfortunately, he couldn't see his nineteen companions who were like headless flies running around the lake. Outside of the Mystic Array and inside the Mystic Array were two completely different worlds. Except for the person who set up the Mystic Array, the people outside the Mystic Array couldn't see the people inside the Mystic Array.
But at this time, the other party must have also noticed the abnormality. After all, there were nineteen living people in front of him. If he still didn't realize something, then he really was a living ghost.
However, the fox masked man didn't think that the guy in front of him could discover his Mystic Array. Although the other party was cautious enough, the fox masked man had enough confidence in his Mystic Array. In his opinion, the guy wearing the cloak should be just like the girl said. He just happened to stop outside the Mystic Array because he was lucky.
"Teacher, when you taught me, you didn't say that. I still remember that you told me that there is no such thing as coincidence or chance in this world."
"Hey, stupid girl, I also told you to find a boyfriend early. Why don't you remember?"
While the two of them were bickering, the cloaked man moved again. He lifted his leg and took a step, but this step was neither forward nor backward. It was slanted so much that it looked like he was just circling around the lake. However, the route he chose was a little strange. It was crooked, like a drunkard who had too much to drink.
This scene was indescribably funny. However, the fox masked man sucked in a breath of cold air because only he knew the meaning of the route chosen by the guy in the crystal ball. Every step the cloak man took was on the edge of the Mystic Array. Not a step more, not a step less. This meant that half of his body was inside the Mystic Array and the other half was outside. This way, he could spy on the Mystic Array and at the same time maintain his sense of direction so that he wouldn't get lost in the Mystic Array.
This guy was taking this opportunity to carefully test and study his Mystic Array! The fox masked man quickly realized this. However, the way the opponent was doing it was undoubtedly very dangerous. If he took a wrong step, he would be in danger and trapped in the Mystic Array.
"What is he doing?" Louisa didn't have a magic aptitude. After watching for a while, he really couldn't see the meaning behind it, so he turned to ask the fox masked man.
The fox masked man's face became serious. He swept away his previous carelessness and said, "This guy is a bit powerful. Not only did he perceive my Mystic Array, but he also found the boundary. He is now peeping at my Mystic Array along the boundary."
However, the female Archer's focus was elsewhere. "Huh? Isn't the Mystic Array usually circular or diamond-shaped? Why is the boundary of your Mystic Array so irregular? "
The fox masked man touched his head and laughed awkwardly. "Oh my, you may not believe me when I say this. The night I arranged the Mystic Array, I accidentally drank two cups. As a result, when I was drawing the boundary … Hahahaha."
"Why am I not surprised at all?"
