In terms of power, it was naturally Audrey.
“Round one, Terra and Yamu.”
The two entered the arena and bowed politely before starting the fight. The two of them practiced earth magic and metal magic respectively, and they were equally matched.
But in the end, Terra, who practiced earth magic, won.
This was the first person to get into the top five.
Kate drew the second person. His opponent was Muradi, who practiced water magic. Audrey could sense Muradi’s strength just from her perception. The cold magic aura on her body was very strong..
Audrey could not help but sweat for Kate.
Muradi’s attacks were very purposeful. Knowing that Kate practiced combat aura and had no advantage in long-distance battles, Muradi kept a long-distance and resolutely refused to let Kate get close.
As a result, Kate had no room to fight back.
She managed to get closer with great difficulty, but she was still injured by Muradi’s frost arrow.
Kate recalled what Audrey had said before he went on stage. “If you can’t win, admit defeat as soon as possible and stop the damage in time. Our goal is to see Clement, not the match. Even if you lose, you still have me.”
Kate, who had wanted to continue fighting, took the opportunity to admit defeat. The match ended in the end.
Muradi revealed a look of joy as he stepped forward and said, “Actually, you’re very good too. My name is Muradi. I hope that we’ll have a chance to spar in the future.”
“Alright,” Kate agreed, but he thought to himself that she probably wouldn’t have the chance.
Audrey was ranked fifth, which was the finale.
As for the opponent, it happened to be Clyde. Audrey was filled with anticipation and trepidation. Just by looking at Clyde’s performance that day, she could tell that he was very strong.
Moreover, the magic that Clyde cultivated was of the same water element as her. Therefore, there was no confrontation between the two of them. In a situation where they could not tolerate each other, it could only be said that it depended on who cultivated the purest magic.
If she wanted to get rid of Clyde, she would probably have to spend a lot of effort.
With this preparation, Audrey was even more careful and serious when she went on stage.
“I’ve long heard that there’s a new student with good strength in the academy. I’ve finally met him. I’d like to see how powerful you are,” Clyde sneered, his tone revealing a hint of disdain.
“The same goes for you,” Audrey replied.
The match began, and Audrey immediately pulled out her long sword. She mobilized the combat aura in her body and condensed it on the sword, pressing directly toward Clyde.
Clyde did not expect Audrey to use her combat aura, so he did not react in time.
“Ice and snow cover!” Clyde shouted immediately.
A similar cover quickly formed around him and surrounded him. Audrey’s sword stabbed into it, producing an ear-piercing sound.
However, the ice and snow cover was only slightly damaged. This was enough to show how powerful Clyde was.
“In the name of the snow goddess, let everything be sealed in ice.” As she chanted, the protective cover suddenly turned gloomy. Perhaps Audrey’s ability was too powerful, but Clyde’s protective cover also shattered.
A wave of coldness struck, and Clyde could only barely withstand it.
At this moment, Audrey gently stretched out her finger again, condensing many water droplets on her fingertip. She flipped her hands, and the condensed water droplets rose into the air and fell down.
Although those water droplets looked like water droplets, they were actually extremely lethal. When they landed on her body, they could freeze her skin, preventing her from feeling anything for a short period of time.
After being smashed a few times, Clyde was finally enraged.
“Break!” He destroyed everything that Audrey had set up with a single strike.
“Wind cleaving slash!” Audrey used a Tier-2 skill to attack Clyde.
At the same time, she infused some ice and snow power into her wind cleaving slash. However, the speed and strength of the wind cleaving slash were faster and stronger. No matter how powerful Clyde was, he was unable to dodge it.
In an instant, he was knocked to the ground. Austria took advantage of his victory to chase after him, pressing the sword that was filled with cold air against Clyde’s body.
“Have you seen my strength? Are you satisfied?” Audrey asked with a light snort.
“You live up to your reputation. A loss is a loss. I’m completely convinced. However, I might not be the one to lose in the future.” Clyde snorted coldly, still arrogant.
“I’ll wait,” Audrey replied and left the stage.
The five matches ended very quickly. In order to ensure that the matches were fair and just, the ten of them had a cross-match. In the end, Audrey obtained the result of first place.
Colette was second, while Muradi was third…
In sixth place, Kate was close to entering the top five and meeting Clement.
“Audrey, you’re too amazing. You can also take first place here,” Kate said excitedly. His eyes were filled with adoration and love for Audrey.
Audrey was simply too attractive.
“It’s nothing,” Audrey replied in a relaxed manner.
“The results of the competition are out. The first five students, please get ready. In the afternoon, you will go to Mr. Clement’s academy and cherish the opportunity. In addition, the medicinal herbs for the competition are ready to be distributed to everyone,” the referee said on the stage, Audrey’s mind had already drifted to the matter after meeting Mr. Clement.
How should she express her intentions so that Clement would be willing to discuss magic with her.
Could it be that she had to tell the truth?
Audrey was caught in a dilemma. She chose to ask Kate.
“How do you think I should tell Mr. Clement? Should I tell him the truth?” Audrey asked.
