The Witcher: Son of the Planes

There are nearly 1,000 high-level wizard apprentices in Grimman College, but high-level wizard apprentices are the limit below wizards.

Some of those who have cultivated to the quasi-level wizard apprentices are not very keen on this competition. Most of them go out to find opportunities and resources for breakthroughs, or are sent to some places to perform garrison tasks.

Some others have barely broken through to the high-level wizard apprentices through various unconventional means, but they have no potential and lack stamina, and are too lazy to participate in any college exams.

In the end, only about 260 people participated in the official competition. According to the registration situation, the first round among high-level wizard apprentices adopts a single elimination system, and the second, third, and fourth rounds adopt a double elimination system.

Finally, the top 16 will be held to determine the top eight to participate in the competition outside the college.

After a simple draw, Colin got the number 58.

In the afternoon of the second day, Colin started to play.

His first opponent was a high-level wizard apprentice of the wood system. The conventional spell attack did not cause much trouble to Colin. On the contrary, because of the relationship of mutual restraint, he was quickly injured by Colin.

Colin's second opponent was a high-level wizard apprentice of the earth system. His good defense made Colin gradually impatient and he wanted to use the ultimate tactic, but after thinking about it, it was only the second round, so it was better to use it at a critical moment.

Relying on the strength of a part-time knight attendant, it took him a long time to defeat his opponent.

Colin's third opponent was a high-level wizard apprentice of the fire system. The attack was not much worse than Colin's. Colin could not get any advantage at all. In the end, he relied on the defense of the earth system to narrowly win.

At this point, Colin was already struggling. After all, he had just successfully advanced, and many of his opponents had been promoted for many years. Whether in terms of spell proficiency or mana reserves, they were better than Colin.

But Colin didn't want to stop at the top 16, nor did he want to use the ultimate tactic in the top 32. After all, as the battle continued to advance, there were not many high-level wizard apprentices on the field. As long as this tactic was used once, others would be prepared next time.

Someone opened the odds outside the venue. Each senior wizard apprentice has the possibility of becoming a dark horse. Although Colin has never lost, his odds are not low, 1.8. Maybe others can see that he is a little weak.

Helen has always known Colin's thoughts. She took advantage of the opportunity to bet and bought some information about other qualified players.

It took more than 300 merit points, which can already buy a lot of resources or courses, but Helen didn't feel bad, just to fight for that little chance for her lover.

Back at home at night, Colin and Helen formulated new tactics based on the characteristics of wizard apprentices of various departments.

Looking at these materials, there are all kinds of situations, and no one is worse than Colin. Even his good friends Connie and Marcus are not given for nothing.

For those whose attack power is not as good as Colin, he doesn't worry. Relying on his own good defense, he can push it flat. It's just a matter of time.

For opponents with strong attack power, you have to consider how to delay the opponent's attack speed and constantly cause interference until the opponent is defeated.

For players with strong defense, the only way is to use kerosene to increase the attack strength, but Colin still wants to save it for the last moment.

For players with both offensive and defensive capabilities, you have to counter them and see who can outlast them in the end.

Because potions are not allowed in the competition, the potions Colin bought a few days ago are basically useless, and it is impossible to learn any spells temporarily now.

Although he discussed with Helen for a long time, Colin still rested for a night with some trepidation.

The draw on the second day was very dramatic. Among the 33 senior wizard apprentices, he drew a bye.

The first match was very intense. The two fire wizard apprentices with strong personalities were evenly matched. In the end, they defeated their opponents at the same time and seriously injured each other.

The final result was a tie, but the rules of the competition stipulated that the official wizards would not take action unless they were in danger of life.

Given the actual situation of these two people, even if they both advanced, they would definitely lose the next round.

After repeated consideration, the two withdrew from the competition at the same time.

In the end, Colin and Connie, Marcus and other 15 people successfully advanced to the top 16 effortlessly.

Otherwise, luck is also a part of strength.

During this period, Colin asked Dixing again what his luck value was, but perhaps because of his own strength, nothing was detected, and it was still an unknown attribute, but Colin was still quite satisfied with his luck value.

On the third day of the competition, Colin did not meet his two friends, but met a strong opponent, the apprentice of the thunder wizard.

The electric shock Colin was miserable, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and he was about to give up. As a last resort, Colin released the spell he had prepared for a long time, grease plus kerosene plus bursting fireball.

The opponent was almost burned to death, thanks to the quick hands of the wizard on the field. According to people's evaluation afterwards, the attack effect after this bonus is no less than the powerful attack of the quasi-level wizard apprentice.

So far, Colin has successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, which is considered to be a preliminary achievement of his pre-match goal.

Colin, who is tough and thick, was active on the field again on the fourth day, and Helen made a small profit from the handicap betting the day before.

Although Colin seemed to be in good condition, he had no good luck afterwards.

Others have already seen the characteristics of Colin's insufficient attack power, and he won the previous game by using the bonus of conventional props.

His latest opponent is a light wizard apprentice, who not only has good defense, but also has good healing ability and powerful attack power. Even if Colin used the kerosene tactic, he was defeated in the end.

It seems that Colin still has a chance to compete for the fifth place, but he entered the top 16 with a bye, and he has fallen behind in the score. He is basically out of the top five. Fortunately, he can also represent the academy as a substitute in the top eight, so he is not without a chance.

On the fifth day, Colin's opponent was his old friend Marcus. Neither of them had too much fighting intentions. They just had a friendly exchange. In the end, Colin won the seventh place and Marcus ranked eighth.

And the battle of his good friend Connie has just begun. Connie's opponent is a powerful ice wizard, yes, ice, not Helen's water.

Powerful ice spells came one after another. Although Connie's affinity with the wind system gave her a good speed, and with the addition of the ranger's part-time job, her attack power was even more powerful with the addition of wind speed.

But the control of ice spells was too strong, and Connie soon lost her speed advantage under the opponent's various slow spells.

And her attack spells could not break through the opponent's defense barrier, and finally she could only lose to her opponent and won the fifth place.

The competition of the academy was finally over, and the next step was to go out and compete on behalf of the academy.

Unlike the middle and low-level wizard apprentices, senior wizard apprentices are the backbone of the academy. The academy as a whole also attaches more importance to them. The 260 apprentices participating in the competition can get 100 merit points as long as they participate.

The top 32 and top 16 will increase merit points in order according to their rankings.

The top 8 will represent the academy in the competition, and the merit points are even more expensive. The key is the subsequent competition. If you can get a good result outside, the resources provided to you to advance to a formal wizard are the most attractive.

The league for high-level wizard apprentices from all the major forces on the continent will be held in about a year.

Soon, the academy made a new decision, and the final departure date was set for a month later.
