The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

The college competition kicked off under the hosting of the second-level wizard Rodbell.

Rodbell focused on telling the glorious history of the wizarding world, which gradually grew from a low-level plane to a mid-level plane under the leadership of a group of older demigod wizards headed by Merlin and including Lord Griman.

It gives a detailed introduction to the outstanding performance of Dean Lord Grimman in various foreign wars, as well as the development history of Grimman College.

He also explained the importance of this college competition and expressed his earnest expectations for the upcoming competitions.

I hope that the apprentices of the academy can perform at their best in the competition, and that in the near future, the academy will welcome more official wizards, and so on.

After the long speech, Wizard Rodbell left the competition venue and several first-level wizards were responsible for the specific matters of the competition.

Unlike other wizard apprentices who listened with great interest and expressions of admiration and longing, Colin had been brainwashed by various school assemblies in his previous life. He kept dozing off while listening and hoped that the competition would start soon.

Helen could only roll her eyes at her lover's behavior, "You have no respect for teachers and elders at all."

The academy's competition did not require all apprentices to participate, but some apprentices who had some ideas, especially those who wanted to show their talents in the competition, signed up to participate.

There are nearly 4000 wizard apprentices in the academy, % of whom are junior apprentices, and more than of them have signed up for the competition.

Because there are too many people, the first few rounds of competition are basically a single elimination system. Half of the contestants will be eliminated after one round, and then a double elimination system will be adopted until there are 100 people left. Finally, the remaining 8 people will undergo a round-robin system.

In order to speed up the progress of the competition, 100 competitions between junior wizard apprentices were carried out at the same time. As there were not many official wizards on the field and only a few were on hand to deal with some unexpected situations, a group of senior wizard apprentices had to be mobilized to help maintain order.

After the drawing of lots, the competition between junior wizard apprentices began soon.

Colin and Helen watched the performance of the "little guys" with satisfaction.

One threw a fireball, another threw a water arrow, and the game was very lively with everyone fighting back and forth. It sounded like there were a lot of people, but the game moved very quickly and many venues had already replaced their second batch of players.

Looking at these "little guys" with the mentality of Colin, a senior wizard apprentice, it was as if he was seeing his former self.

Sometimes you should release an attack spell, but end up releasing a defensive spell, and miss the opportunity to defeat the enemy.

Sometimes you should dodge, but under the influence of your damn self-confidence, you are still preparing to release attack spells. The only result is that you will be eliminated.

There were also some very funny ones, where both sides started verbal battles on the field before they had cast many spells, and the senior wizard apprentices who couldn't stand it had to ask both sides to leave, and they were eliminated together.

There were also some ruthless people who, even in the early stages, showed such ruthlessness and decisiveness that Colin was deeply impressed.

He fought so hard for an internal competition in the academy that not only did he become disabled, but he also seriously injured his opponent.

Obviously, even though we won, the next competition would be harder, and the road ahead would be more arduous.

Of course, there are all kinds of possibilities in the wizarding world, and it is still possible to take the path of body transformation, but Colin does not approve of this kind of transformation.

There are also some who do not seem to be very strong, but through reasonable arrangement of tactics and within the premise of rules, the opponent cannot fight desperately, and finally they defeat the opponent by defeating the strong with the weak.

There are also some people who work part-time as knights or other unconventional professions, and often a single unexpected attack determines the outcome of the battle.

However, Colin also noticed that the fights between wizard apprentices were mostly based on spells. Even in external battles, spells were mostly cast in the back row, while the front row was mostly filled with various enslaved creatures.

Colin only watched the competition between junior wizard apprentices for one day and then stopped paying attention to it.

Although the performances of some apprentices were indeed amazing, everything was in vain when the difference in strength was too great.

The primary competition is expected to continue for some time, and there will be intermediate competitions later. Calculating the time, there is still some time left, so Colin plans to seize the time to hone his fighting skills, or see if there are any spells that can be mastered in a short time, which may be more practical.

After saying goodbye to Helen, Colin left the competition venue.

Colin returned to his residence and thought about the spells he mastered. The attack spells were mainly fire-based. Explosive fireballs and flaming swords were powerful means of attack, but they would not be of much use if the opponent was prepared.

As for the physical attack methods, whether it is the use of greatsword or the application of archery, the attack power is actually quite good, but due to the limitation of the venue, it is sometimes difficult to perform well.

Although he also works part-time as a knight's squire, he can't just rush forward with a greatsword and start slashing around all the time. That's not risking his life, and doing that all the time won't show his ability.

There are offensive spells in the earth-based magic, but due to the limitation of time, I haven't mastered them. I only have defensive means and some auxiliary means. Can you think of a solution from this aspect?

Earth Wall and Slow seem to be quite effective in preventing others from attacking or escaping, but can only play a small auxiliary role when used for one's own attack.

Hey, why am I so stupid? My attack is not enough. I need to use props to make up for it. My fire spell attack is not enough. One reason is that my opponent is wearing props that reduce fire, and the other is that my opponent is releasing targeted defensive spells.

In either of these two situations, it means that the heat of the fire attack is not enough, so increase the heat. I remember there seems to be a spell called grease in the library.

Colin did it as soon as he thought of it. He rushed to the library and found out that Grease Magic was just a magic trick, not even a zero-level spell. The exchange fee was only 5 merit points. Colin, who was rich, exchanged it quickly.

After returning to his residence, Colin began to study with great anticipation.

The spell of Grease Magic was not complicated, and it was also very simple to cast. In just half a day, Colin had already mastered the Grease Magic.

However, there is one bad thing. The successful release of the greasy technique seems to only make people slip inadvertently, which seems to be not very effective.

After superimposing Fireball, I feel that the popularity of Fireball has increased slightly, but it still does not meet my psychological expectations.

It seems that kerosene is the only option.

Colin left the academy and bought some kerosene. Fearing that the damage might be too great, he found an empty space outside the academy to conduct the test.

It cannot be said that the effect is good, it can only be said that the effect is very good. Colin clearly felt that the heat of the fire spell at least doubled after adding the assistance of kerosene.

At this stage where no one knows how to fly, I believe that if you are burned, you will definitely not be able to stop it.

Colin thought about the cumulative damage effect and hesitated whether to do it. However, when he thought about the presence of a formal wizard on the scene, he thought that nothing serious would happen.
