During lunch, Baiyi brought up the matter with his students, and they all put down their cutlery and looked at him worriedly. Aya was so anxious that she jumped up and grabbed Baiyi's hand, begging him to ride her. Err … Not the mount. She wanted Baiyi to become her dragon knight. Err … Not the dragon knight of the Quanzhen Sect. She just wanted to fight alongside Baiyi in battle.
Baiyi patted her hand, and before the two piggies could react, he had already rejected her offer. Although this Holy-level Vice President was a boss-level existence, she was not strong enough to force Baiyi to use all of his trump cards. Besides, it was not a battle to the death. In fact, they had already come up with a plan to deal with Baiyi.
"Nota, I need your help," Baiyi said, turning to Nota the fairy.
Nota, who was holding a piece of bread in her hands like an adorable little animal, was nibbling on it. When she heard Baiyi's voice, she raised her head and looked at Baiyi in confusion. "Sir?" She asked. "What?"
Baiyi gave her a brief outline of his strategy, and he made it clear that he needed her to boost his spells. "Just think of it as an aerial battle practice," he said.
Unexpectedly, Nota, who was usually timid and didn't even dare to speak too loudly, actually agreed without hesitation. She nodded without thinking. "It would be my honor to help you, Mentor."
"You're not afraid?" Baiyi asked curiously. "This is a real duel between two powerful beings. Even if it's just for show, accidents can happen."
Nota nodded. "I've heard about your heroic deeds from Mia and the others. I believe in your strength, and I believe that you can protect me."
'What a good girl … To have such unconditional trust in me,' Baiyi thought to himself. 'Beneath her petite appearance, there's a kind and brave heart. A girl like her deserves to be blessed with the greatest happiness.'
"Very well, then. I'll give you some private tutoring during this period," Baiyi said, nodding.
"Thank you, Mentor," Nota replied happily.
She knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by. It was not only a chance for her to prove her worth, but it was also a rare opportunity for her to learn. Being able to witness and experience a duel between two powerful sorcerers was a precious opportunity that other students could not even dream of. Compared to this, the potential dangers were insignificant.
"You too, Mia." Baiyi turned to Little Mia. "You're also the key to this duel. I'm stronger because of you."
"Yes!" Mia nodded vigorously. Her attitude was even more determined than Nota's. She could vaguely sense that Baiyi's power was being restricted by her, but she did not know what was going on. Baiyi did not tell her, but she knew that all she had to do was listen to him and do what he asked of her.
In the following days, Baiyi was very busy. Aside from Nota's special tutoring and Mia's special training, he also had to prepare all kinds of equipment and tools. Although equipment was not the deciding factor in a duel, the more preparation he had, the better his chances of winning would be. He did not have enough time to prepare the best equipment, so he decided to make some temporary replacements.
The rest of the students behaved very well during this period of time. They did not cause any trouble to distract Baiyi. Instead, they did their best to assist him in whatever way they could. Even Attie and Mordred the Bear, who were unable to help out, did not forget to act cute in front of Baiyi to make him feel better. Undine, who had received the news, had even gathered a group of so-called Baiyi Fan Club to cheer for him when the time came.
This kind of unity greatly boosted Baiyi's confidence. Although his power was limited, he did not have any equipment, and he could not use Void Energy or martial arts …
"However, the Void does not tolerate failure. You're just a Holy-level fighter. I'll show you what I've got!" Baiyi declared confidently in the Void when the day of the duel arrived.
After a while, Baiyi stood on a stone platform that looked like a ten-meter diving platform on one of the Babel Tower's levels. In front of him was an empty empty space; this was his next battlefield. Behind him was a huge, ring-shaped hall that was already filled with people from all walks of life. There were students, friends, fans, sorcerers from the Sorcerer's Association, representatives from other organizations, including the Church, and nobles who could afford to pay for the tickets and bet on the tickets.
In the middle of the ring-shaped venue, there was a huge magic screen. When the time came, the battle between the two would be captured by special observation magic and projected on the screen so that the audience could see it more clearly. At the same time, the video signal would be transmitted far away so that those who could not be in the venue could also see it clearly.
For example, the Emperor and the Pope, as well as the Dukes of the North and the South, had temporarily put aside their work and were ready to enjoy the spectacle.
Truth be told, the scale of the event was a little too much. As a certification mission, Baiyi had to show off a lot of his true prowess in front of a Holy-level powerhouse.
However, it was only his magical prowess. Baiyi did not mind being seen by others. In fact, he hoped that more people would be there to witness the duel. This was the biggest advertisement he had prepared for his future in the Sorcerer's Academy, and the Sorcerer's Association was paying for it.
Not long after Baiyi's entrance, the other star of the duel, the Holy-level Grand Sorcerer Grant, appeared, accompanied by a series of screams and cheers. It was obvious that he had dressed up for the occasion. He was wearing a gorgeous sorcerer's robe and makeup, making him look like a handsome young man in his twenties. As soon as he appeared, the female audience screamed at the top of their lungs.
Compared to his opponent's stunning and cool appearance, Baiyi, who had a pumpkin head and a yellow scarf over his face, looked like an inconspicuous mountain bandit. Not only that, he had to be the kind of cannon fodder with a common face …
Even the Walthart Emperor, who was watching Baiyi from afar, could not help but ask, "Wasn't the Exalted Saint Armor I gave him gorgeous and majestic? How did he end up tormenting her to such a state? He looks like a country bumpkin … "
The contestants from both sides were ready, and the bets were sealed. The duel was about to begin.
"Aha! Greetings, esteemed audience! I am honored to be the host of this earth-shattering, earth-shattering, world-shattering duel! I am an ordinary host from the Arena of Blood and Glory, so please do not mind my name. Let us take a look at the contestants from both sides …" A talk-show style voice rang out in the middle of the hall. Baiyi found the voice familiar.
"First, we have Master Hope, who is standing on the left-hand side. There is no doubt that he has been the talk of the town recently. Thanks to the Church's relentless promotion, I have heard of his name almost every day. I believe that all of you are familiar with him. He single-handedly defeated Lord Thaas, the Abyss Lord, and saved the realm of Gouve. But that's all we know about him. How strong he really is and how strong he really is is something that we've always been concerned about. Fortunately, today we'll be able to unveil the answer to this mystery. By the way, Master Hope also has a few other excellent students … "
As soon as the host finished his words, the giant screen in the middle of the stage suddenly showed Mia and the girls who were sitting on the grandstand. Every single one of the girls was dressed to the nines, especially Mia, who was wearing an extremely luxurious black dress. When she appeared on the screen, the audience erupted into a round of applause that was even louder than when Baiyi had appeared on the stage.
Then, the screen switched to Grant. The host's introduction of Grant was even more extravagant and exaggerated than the one he had used on Baiyi. He put on all sorts of extravagant hats, such as "The Strongest Holy-level", "Invincible Below the Demigod Level", and "The Most Promising Fighter to Break Through to the Demigod Level". Grant, on the other hand, did not show any signs of awkwardness or awkwardness. Instead, he held his head high, basking in the praise and cheers.
After the introductions were over, a judge, who was standing by the side of the stage, asked them if they were ready. Grant looked nonchalant, and he did not bother to check his body. Instead, he gestured at Baiyi, "Please."
Baiyi, on the other hand, did a thorough check on his body and asked in a low voice, "Are you ready?"
Mia, who was sitting in the audience stand, quickly took out a magical tool that Baiyi had made at the last minute. It was a dodecahedron that was the size of a soccer ball, made up entirely of octuplet twin crystals. The surface of the tool was covered with a simple layer of illusionary magic to prevent it from being noticed.
Mia used her psychic energy to check the internal formation of the tool. She made sure that everything was in order. She patted her clothes, and the black gown that the owl had transformed into moved slightly, signaling that she was ready. Then, she looked at Laeticia, who smiled and held her hand.
"I'm ready," Baiyi replied. Baiyi heard two replies. One of them was from Mia through the communication spell, and the other came directly from inside his helmet. It was as if Baiyi was speaking to himself. The judge, who had overheard the conversation, turned to look at Baiyi with a strange expression on his face.
Baiyi nodded at the judge, then turned to Grant, who was on the next platform, and gestured for him to get ready.
The two of them rose into the air and soared into the sky.
