The Arcane God - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Maya, The Water Mage [VI]
Although Maya’s performance was very strong in the previous game, her mysterious attack method was not completely seen and well understood.

Therefore, most people only think that she broke into the top eight only by virtue of luck.

But apart from Oscar and the others, among the thousands of spectators, there was still one person who came to watch Maya’s game.

This person was Lindley. At this time, his injury had already been cured by the light master’s healing magic, leaving no scars behind.

The water mage came here today mainly to see if Maya could make it to the semi-finals.

After all, with his powerbase of a copper-level refiner, he was defeated in the hands of Maya who only had the high-level of a copper mage. It was indeed a shameful thing.

Among the top eight today, there were two copper-level mages who were friends of Lindley. After Lindley went back yesterday, seeing that the two had entered the top eight one after another, he felt very embarrassed in front of them.

So when the two asked how Maya won against him, Lindley didn’t tell them the details.

The two of them didn’t care, they were just saying how embarrassing it was when Lindley collapsed on the stage. After a couple of jokes, it was over. But they also paid more attention to Maya’s powerbase.

If they also followed in Lindley’s footsteps because of their carelessness, it would be another embarrassing joke.

Therefore, Lindley came here today to see if Maya could break into the semi-finals.

Furthermore, if his friends were to fight Maya, they would regret not asking him for advice and suffer the same fate in Maya’s hands. Then he would feel better.

So, combining the above two reasons, Lindley very much hoped that Maya could break into the top four today. He didn’t care if his friends could advance or not.

There was a saying that said; share the blessings and the difficulties together. If you are in trouble today, a friend should accompany you in the trouble.

Soon, the ranking order of the top eight students came out, and Maya was ranked second.

With the rank order of the eight people, everyone’s opponents have also been determined.

Lindley was happy to see that the one who would be fighting against Maya was actually one of his friends. And this friend was also the one who made the worst fun of him yesterday. But thinking about this friend’s powerbase, Lindley couldn’t help but worry for Maya.

The first two contestants on stage were a bronze-level mage versus a copper-level one. Under the strong attack of the bronze mage, the other mage only lasted for less than a minute before shouting and admitting defeat.

According to the rules of the competition, as long as the contestants admitted defeat, the competition was over. So soon it was the second turn.

After the examiner announced that the contestants would take the stage, Maya saw a tall boy standing at the edge of the stage. The boy gave her a slight bow and said. “Hello, I’m Fenmore Ravenswood, fourteen years old, in the early stage of the copper-level.”

Maya tilted her head and looked at the other student, only to see that Fenmore was more than a head taller than herself. He had a good figure and a handsome face, but unfortunately he had a youthful and beautiful face but with acne.

If he didn’t say he was only fourteen years old, no one would doubt him if he said he was twenty.

After watching, Maya also smiled at Fenmore and returned the introduction, “Hello, my name is Maya Frostbane, nine years old, low-level copper.”

After the two exchanged their identities, they turned around and walked towards the corner of the stage.

Fenmore had only taken two steps when Maya asked innocently from behind, “Uncle, are you really only fourteen years old?”

Fenmore slipped and almost fell on the spot. Uncle? Am I really that old? He quickly smiled and stabilized his swaying body, squeezed out a smile, turned around and said to Maya. “Yes, I’m reaaaaaly only fourteen years old.”

Maya tilted her head, looked at Fenmore with a strange expression, and said, “Oh. Uncle, are you not feeling well? I see your body is shaking now. If you are not feeling well, you can just admit defeat and go and take some medicine. ”

Fenmore was speechless after hearing this. He didn’t look at her again, turned his head and walked over to his position. While walking, with a black line on his face, he pretended to smile and said, “It’s okay, your so-called uncle, will spar with you for a while, and then go back to rest.”

Maya also walked towards the other side of the stage.

After the two sides stood still, each manifested a spirit crystal which floated in front of them.

Fenmore was also surprised when he saw Maya’s crystal split into two. He had never competed with Maya in a group before, so he had never seen Maya’s battle.

When Fenmore saw the two spirit crystals more than one foot long in front of Maya, he suddenly realized that this little girl in front of him might not be an easy opponent. Thinking of Lindley’s tragic loss yesterday, his smiled and couldn’t help but put away his playfulness, and the embarrassing smile on his face disappeared.

This change in Fenmore’s expression might not be noticed by others, but it was caught by the eyes of Lindley on the audience stage. When Lindley saw Fenmore’s expression, he had a hunch that Maya might not be able to pass this test today.

Anyone who knew Fenmore knew that this kid was always smiling. Although he looked more stylish, when he laughed, the pimples all over his face seem to bloom with joy, making him look weirdly disgusting.

However, whenever Fenmore encountered a crisis, he would put away that distasteful smile, and his face would really showed a sense of style.

At this time, his appearance was as serious as possible.

That was the expression Fenmore was putting on right now. He became more terrifying at this time that even Lindley thought he wouldn’t win against him in a contest. Because whenever he showed this expression, his attack would become extremely unhinged.

Therefore, Fenmore also has a nickname among his friends. Everyone called him “Mad Smiley”.
