The battle began instantly.
“Icicle spell!” At Roddy’s command, the other magic students had already reacted.
They gathered together and started chanting their spells.
“Flowing Fire Bullets!”
“Gale Blade!”
“Ice Formation!”
All of a sudden, the mage seniors led the group of Rank One Mages to unleash several spells of different colors.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Intense light exploded and the wolves were scattered.
Among them, a few Rank Two Mages in front of the team stood out.
“Taros, there was no clear winner in the previous competition. This time, let’s see who can hunt more howling wind wolves!” A yellow-haired youth spoke to the youth beside him.
It was obvious that his clothes were much more luxurious than the magic students beside him, except for the young man called Taros.
“Hmph, let’s compete if you wish!” The young man smiled as well.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding magic students immediately felt helpless.
The reason was nothing else.
It was simply because these two people were called Royce and Taros, and they had extremely high status.
One of them had a noble status, he was the youngest son of King Morin Lunn of the Sida Empire. He was the yellow-haired youth, Ninth Prince Royce.
The other person, Taros, was the most powerful prodigy of the Mantas clan, which had forces within the Capital City and all over the empire.
He had awakened level nine innate magic power a month ago, and after entering the Magic Academy as a mage apprentice, his strength had also rapidly improved.
In just half a month, he had become the first student to advance to become a Rank One Mage, and was sought after by countless young men and young women, including many descendants of Viscounts and Barons.
And that was exactly why, as the son of the royal family of the Sida Empire, Royce—who was usually respected by everyone—could not stand it any longer and thought that Taros was stealing his limelight.
But his own strength was indeed lower than Taros, so in the end, he could only openly challenge the latter. The similarly arrogant Taros naturally agreed.
Therefore, for a while after that, the two of them competed openly and secretly in magic experiments.
Then there was the assessment.
Even the mutated demonic beasts they encountered were extremely powerful.
The two of them were also holding back their fear, ignoring the fact that they did not have enough strength to hunt demonic beasts. They wanted to prove to the students that they were the most powerful students!
At the same time, in front of them, the students continuously released magic attacks at the howling wind wolves.
Seeing the two who were fighting, not far away, a girl with wavy hair, who was wearing a blue robe and holding a staff, frowned and ran over quickly.
The girl with wavy hair was extremely beautiful. She had a youthful and fair face, and had an impressive figure even when she was just over eighteen years old. Even among the beauties, she was still like a goddess.
As the girl walked over, the students along the way looked over with envy.
Among them, especially the group of rank one students, when they saw that they actually had such a beautiful senior sister, their eyes were wide open.
After quickly walking over to the two of them, the wavy-haired girl quickly said, “Royce, Taros, we are currently in danger, fighting a group of mutated demonic beasts.”
“I hope you can understand.”
“In this situation, what we students should do is to protect ourselves and cover Teacher Roddy so that he can lead us to escape from this forest, you should not be competing among yourselves!”
Once the girl spoke, the surrounding students immediately went silent.
Sagas, the daughter of the Dean of the Sigt Magic Academy, had spoken, so this matter should be concluded.
Many of them knew that as the daughter of the Dean of the Magic Academy, and with her outstanding looks, she was well-liked by many boys in the school.
There were even rumors that the Ninth Prince of the Sida Empire, Royce, had specially rejected his father’s request for him to study at a better Magic Academy for the sake of Sagas.
Sure enough, after Sagas spoke, Royce’s expression immediately darkened, and he fell silent.
On the other side, Taros looked over, and the two of them nodded at each other as if they had come to an agreement…
Even if they could not fight openly, they could still fight secretly.
After all, who would not want to show off their skills?
The two young men made their own plans.
On the other side, the attacks of the howling wind wolves were becoming more and more fervent.
After Roddy, who was gradually feeling the pressure, repelled the howling wind wolves, he suddenly spoke, “These beasts want to kill us. Students, retreat behind me and ensure your own safety!”
“Yes!” Upon hearing the command, the students immediately gathered into a formation.
Seeing this scene, the White Wolf King, who was commanding the wolves to attack the group, had a calm look in his eyes.
The White Wolf King had evolved after being nurtured by Jobs. As a low-level demonic beast, it was comparable to a Rank Four Mage. At the same time, it already possessed intelligence that did not lose to humans.
This situation was just as it had expected. With just a dozen howling wind wolves that were comparable to Rank Three Mages, was it still difficult to deal with the mage team led by the old man in front of it?
Moreover, after this old man realized the danger, he cleverly made the surrounding magic students give up on covering him. Instead, he gathered their formation and let the students release magic to focus on dealing with the howling wind wolves attacking them.
However, no matter how smart the old man was, he was still wrong.
After this group of mages entered the territory and started hunting demonic beasts, their hands were already stained with the lives of several demonic beasts.
As the one in charge of the territory, in the face of such a situation where several demonic beasts died one after another, the solution was naturally not as simple as killing all the hunters in front of it.
In the face of such a situation, it had to give its master an explanation!
Therefore, its goal from the beginning was not to kill the mages in front of it.
Rather, at the very least, he had to capture some people and bring them before his master so that he could personally punish them!
Since it was impossible to complete the mission with just a dozen howling wind wolves under its command, now was the time for it to take action personally.
