Mia stumbled back to the resting area from the ring. Her eyes were still in a daze as she stretched out her little hand towards Baiyi from afar. Walking towards him, she mumbled in a daze, "M-Mr. Hope … M-My head is so dizzy. H-h-hug …"
After all, the Magical Stun Grenade had exploded at such a close distance. Even though Mia had covered her ears with her hands, she was still affected by the shockwave. She was still in a daze, and it was only through sheer willpower that she did not fall to the ground.
Baiyi hurriedly caught the little girl who looked like she was about to fall. Using his mana, he pulled out a hammock out of thin air and put her on it. Then, he reached out and touched her forehead to check that she was fine. She should be fine after lying down for a while.
"The next time you use this scroll, remember to cast a Sound Barrier on yourself first. Don't be so reckless." At the same time, he used his Psychic Energy to gently stimulate Mia's brain to help her alleviate the symptoms. After that, he took out the hammerhead shark plushie from her storage pouch and stuffed it into her arms.
"Woo ~" The little fellow let out a cute kitten-like cry and hurriedly took the soft doll into her arms. She curled up in the magical bed and nodded.
"So, should we continue?" Baiyi asked.
Mia nodded without hesitation. "It's okay. I'll be fine after some rest."
"Then let's take a rest and eat something." Baiyi said as he placed the water and desserts that he had prepared in the morning in front of Mia. He did not bring her back to the spectator stand but instead, he brought her to the contestants' resting area.
At the same time, the audience was still discussing the special scroll that Mia had just used.
"The combination of the seemingly useless Flash and Noise spells is actually so powerful? Why didn't I think of that before? "
"If the opponent is unprepared, the effect is indeed very good, but if the opponent is prepared, it will be useless, right? Wouldn't it be better to set up a Silence Barrier in advance? "
"And this can only be done with scrolls, right? Flash is a light element spell, while Noise is a non-elemental spell. It's impossible for a person to cast both spells at the same time. You can only rely on equipment and items. However, as far as I know, it's not easy to combine two types of magic on a scroll. Most Mages can't do it. "
"Mia's Soul Armature is that very powerful Master Hope. I've heard a lot of people talking about him. This scroll should be made by Master Hope, right? It really lives up to its reputation … "
All in all, although the students felt that Mia's method was novel and effective, it was not very replicable. On the other hand, the Immortal rank elder sitting in the corner of the stands had a different opinion.
"That little girl just now has an expert guiding her from behind. Miss, you must be careful when you face her."
The rich man in the pink robe suddenly showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Grandpa, did you see anything? That scroll might be special, but it's not that powerful, is it? "
"No, no, no. The effect of the spell itself isn't the main point. The main point is the thought process. The thought process is very novel and unique. As far as I know, even the Sorcerers' Association hasn't thought of combining these two spells. This compound spell is original," the old man explained.
"Huh? He used it without registering the patent first? Isn't he afraid that others will plagiarize it? "The girl noticed this and asked curiously.
"Compound spells are not that simple. Moreover, it's two different types of spells. Even if they're both low-level spells, it would still take a lot of time and effort." He paused for a moment and then added, "So he's not afraid of others plagiarizing it because it's not that easy to copy. Or perhaps, he has so many patents that he doesn't care if others plagiarize one of them? If it's the latter, then this guy is really scary. "
The girl smiled again and said, "How can there be such a powerful person? Besides, Grandpa, don't you have a few spell patents? There's no sorcerer in Arfin City who's more powerful than Grandpa! "
"But I won't use my new spell on a student arena …" The elder said. The girl's words warmed his heart. Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out and pat the girl's head. But suddenly, he realized the girl's identity and retracted his hand awkwardly. Then, he said, "Anyway, Miss, you must be careful when you meet her. It's very likely that she has other tricks up her sleeves!"
"I understand." The rich girl nodded her head and said nonchalantly, "I don't really believe that the person behind her is more powerful than Grandpa. But that person really dotes on her. I can't believe that he would specially develop a new spell for this kind of occasion."
Her guess was a little too much. Although Baiyi really doted on Mia, the stun grenade was not specially invented for the arena. It was just one of the products that he had recreated from Earth using magic. It was not his original creation.
The effect of the stun grenade was quite good. After Mia's demonstration, he believed that there would be people who would be interested in it. It seemed like he would have to find some time to register the patent with the Sorcerers' Association.
As for the question of who was more powerful between the Immortal Level old man and Baiyi … Hahaha, what a stupid question.
By the time Mia had fully recovered, the first round of duels had already ended. The next round of duels began very quickly. The pace was very fast, so much so that the students did not even have much time to rest and recover their mana.
It was obvious that this was a deliberate arrangement by the academy. Endurance was also an important indicator to test one's strength. Of course, Mia did not care about this problem. After eating some biscuits, she was back to her best condition.
The next opponent that Mia was about to face was also a familiar face. It was the practitioner of Mr. Owl, the Soul Armature. She was the girl who had given Mia a chicken drumstick in the park last time. Both of them were quite familiar with each other, so the next battle was more formal.
Mr. Owl and Baiyi stayed together in the lounge, watching the two girls playing on the stage. From time to time, he would make some comments about them.
"Master Hope has really taught Mia well. My child has completely fallen into a passive position now."
"It's just that she has an advantage in terms of equipment. From what I can see, the level of both of them is about the same," Baiyi commented.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Mia naturally won the competition with her superior equipment. Mr. Owl did not feel sorry for the result. His Soul Armature Practitioner had indeed done his best and had proven his strength. He was quite satisfied with the results of the examination.
In the end, he even said generously, "Now, the only contestant left in our park is Mia. Do your best!"
"Huh? There's only one left now? What about Mr. Sorry's kid? I remember that he's quite talented in martial arts and even received his personal teachings. His strength should be pretty good, right? How did he get eliminated as well? "Baiyi asked curiously.
The group of Soul Armatures in the Seniors' Park usually talked a lot about the situation of their practitioners so they were quite familiar with each other's children's situation. Who would have thought that Mia would be the only one left now? This wasn't the same as what those guys had been bragging about on a daily basis.
"Oh, that kid? You may not have seen it but he forcibly imitated Mr. Sorry's ultimate technique on the stage. I think it's called something like 'Fantasy Sorry Sky Devil Kneels'? In the end, he didn't learn it well enough and kneeled down on the spot … "Mr. Owl said, feeling a little amused.
Pfft! Baiyi could not help but laugh at those words. The group of Soul Armatures in the Seniors' Park who were living a retired life really believed in their own words. A few of them even said that their practitioner was the most powerful, the most talented and the most promising but in the end, their true colors were revealed the moment they entered the ring. On the contrary, it was Baiyi's practitioner who usually kept a low profile who performed the best.
In fact, this kind of thing was completely natural. The students of the Soul Armatures Department had to spend more time and energy on their Soul Armatures so it was not surprising that they could not defeat the specialized Sorcerers and Fighters. After all, this kind of ring did not allow Soul Armatures to personally participate.
So, when Mia returned to Baiyi's side accompanied by the cheers of victory, she had already entered the top eight. It was a good result that the little girl did not even dare to dream of before. In fact, at this point, even if she did not win in the end, just based on the talent that she had shown in front of the president, it was enough for her to enter the Golden Rose class confidently.
However, since her goal was to be the champion, she would have to continue to work hard. After the baptism of the previous few battles, Mia had gradually adapted to the environment and atmosphere and performed even better in the next round of the quarterfinals. She put everything that Baiyi had taught her to good use and she was no longer stingy with her scrolls. While she was releasing her magic, she threw all kinds of scrolls at her opponents, just like how a paid player bullied a free player. She forced her opponents into a corner and very soon, they raised their hands and surrendered.
That kind of performance even allowed her to win faster than her two strongest opponents.
"This little girl's adaptability is quite good!" Baiyi praised Mia in the Void as he snatched the hammerhead shark plushie from her arms. Fiddling with it, he made a final check on it. Who knows, he might need to use it in the upcoming duel.
"This is something that we did not expect. We thought that with her personality, she would be very timid and find it hard to perform well," The Voidwalkers replied one after another.
