Recently, Rob had also experienced what it felt like to be the talk of the town again. However, the popularity of this matter only lasted for less than a week. After that, everyone's attention shifted from him to something else because the annual freshmen competition was approaching.
According to the schedule of previous years, the registration would be in the next one or two weeks. Therefore, the campus was filled with freshmen who were busy forming teams. Due to his magical performance at the freshmen welcoming ball not long ago, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor unexpectedly received many team invitations. However, Rob had already formed a team with Lolo and Gage, so he politely declined the invitations from other teams.
Apart from that, there were also some people who were optimistic about their team who asked if they could join. However, because the final prize money and prizes were distributed according to the team, which meant that the smaller the number of people, the better the prize. Therefore, Lolo didn't plan to recruit new people for the time being.
The girl's previous goal was to enter the top 10 and fight for a three-year tuition waiver. However, after witnessing Rob's skills at the ball that night, she had a new idea. She wanted to see if she could enter the top 3 in one go because compared to the top 10, the rewards for the top 3 would undoubtedly be more generous. As for the first place, Lolo didn't dare to think about it. The main reason was that she couldn't figure out the level of a certain someone. This guy was full of vigor when he beat up Grant and Leo that night, which scared the young master of the Andrea Family so much that he didn't even have the courage to fight him. However, the three of them had also secretly trained together for the upcoming freshmen competition. During these training sessions, this guy became insignificant again, which made people doubt whether he could be relied on at the critical moment.
After this period of special training, Gage had made great progress. Although he didn't lose much weight, at least he looked stronger and had some muscles on his body. Now, even without Rob's help, he could still complete the training load of every class. However, he also suffered the most. Ever since he received Lolo's devil training, there wasn't a day that he didn't want to give up. The reason why he persisted until now wasn't because of his strong willpower. In fact, he would almost kneel down and beg for mercy almost every day, crying and begging to quit the special training. Unfortunately, Lolo was unmoved.
Before the special training began, both parties had agreed that as long as there were no serious physical problems, the training would not be stopped. Hence, after a period of time, Fatty no longer wiped away his tears. He had completely become a walking corpse. His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had been played to death. When Luo Bu visited him with the cake he had just learned how to make, he had swallowed it along with the paper cup under the cake. This poor child had obviously been tortured by life to the point where his mind was blurred.
Lolo was also making the final preparations for the upcoming competition. This competition was very important to her, not only because of the generous rewards for the top ten, but also because the owner of the Black Se Golem had specifically reminded her that the thing she wanted most would be included in this competition.
What did Luo Luo want the most now? Without a doubt, it was the whereabouts of Granny Teresa. However, the girl was a little confused as to what the owner of the Black Se Golem wanted. Logically speaking, the owner of the Black Se Golem had set a trap and lured her into the Shrine's stronghold in Gudilesi City, and used despicable means to force her mysterious teacher to help her. After doing this, it was obvious that the two of them were enemies.
However, after that, the owner of the Philosopher's Stone, a legendary magical tool, casually gave her the Philosopher's Stone. However, the way the owner of the Black Se Golem gave it to her was also full of bad taste. He hid the Philosopher's Stone in a cheap rabbit doll. If not for the fact that Lolo had accidentally discovered the abnormality in the rabbit's chest, she would have probably disposed of the thing as trash.
She was getting more and more confused about what the owner of the Philosopher's Stone was up to. Would he keep his promise in the freshmen competition this time, or was it another trap prepared for her?
"Don't worry, the arena is completely closed on the day of the competition. No outsiders can enter, and the teachers of the school will be there, so there shouldn't be too much danger," comforted Rob, who seemed to know what Lolo was worried about.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor had fought with the owner of the Black Se Golem twice before. The first time was in the middle of the night, when he witnessed the game organized by the owner of the Black Se Golem. Unfortunately, the game was stopped halfway through due to an accident. The other time, Rob had the upper hand and caught the self-aware Black Se Golem. However, the latter was very cunning and eventually slipped away from his eyes.
Strictly speaking, neither side had gained the upper hand in these two fights, and the owner of the Black Se Golem was even more cunning than his golem. From the beginning to the end, he had never shown himself. However, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor was still able to understand the owner's character a little bit from the bits and pieces that they had met.
That guy didn't seem to have any clear purpose at all. Most of the time, his actions were just to have some fun for himself. He just wanted to watch the show and didn't mind blowing things up. This kind of thing might sound unbelievable for the first time, but as long as one thought about it carefully, perhaps this was the most reasonable explanation. No, it should be said that it was the only explanation.
The things that the owner of the Philosopher's Stone had expended a lot of effort to do were actually meaningless. Whether it was the game by the lake that night, or tricking Lolo into coming to the Temple of Light's stronghold and giving her the Philosopher's Stone as compensation, his actions seemed to lack the most basic logic. To put it simply, the owner of the Black Se Golem didn't seem to have any standpoint.
However, the owner of the Philosopher's Stone was indeed acting according to some kind of rule, but this rule was set by him. Rob wasn't worried that the owner of the Philosopher's Stone would cause any more trouble during the Freshmen Competition because a person would only reveal more flaws if they made a move. If the owner of the Black Se Golem suddenly decided to stop now, the future Supreme Magister wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Just as the three of them were about to submit the name list to the Student Council, Lolo suddenly suggested to add another person to the team. Of course, Gage didn't have any objections. Among the three of them, the reward was the least attractive to him. He participated in the Freshmen Competition mainly to train himself. He was very clear about his position in the team, and he basically didn't participate in other matters as long as he didn't drag everyone down.
"You are … Ginny?" When Rob saw the new teammate that Lolo recommended, he was a little surprised. He greeted the timid little girl. "I think we've met before."
