Three days later, the competition to determine the champion of the internal competition began.

Everyone on campus had arrived early. No one wanted to miss such a match.

The teachers’ seats were also fully occupied. Before the competition even began, there was already a sea of people.

The top ten students all stood on the stage. Most of them were senior students, in the fifth or sixth grade.

The only person in the lower grades was Linley Bart, whom everyone believed to be a hedonistic son.

But for him to have reached his current position meant that he definitely had the strength and capability.

But how strong was he? This had always been a mystery.

However, some had been studying him and they had managed to obtain a few basic pieces of information.

He excelled in spiritual magic and could unleash a spell through his smile.

On top of that, his casting speed was extremely fast.

He also had a mysterious way to break other people’s magic.

These were all the information that was known at the moment.

As for the other candidates, they were all pondering over each of their opponents. Linley Bart was one of them.

Soon after, it was time to draw lots to decide the fighting order.

Most people actually hoped to be able to fight against Linley.

No matter what tricks he had, nothing could change the fact that he was just a first-grade student and was still a Trainee Apprentice Sorcerer.

He was not even a proper Apprentice Sorcerer yet.

The other candidates were all senior students. Their magic power and experience were not easy to deal with.

Thus, most of them were staring at Linley Bart, looking forward to battling this junior student.

One had to know that winning one more match would increase one’s chances of becoming an official member.

The difference in treatment between an official member and a reserve member was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Linley Bart could feel his hair stand on its end from the stares all around him.

The drawing of lots began! It was decided by a magic hat, which was absolutely fair in terms of probability.

Linley Bart quickly realized who his opponent was. He hadn’t expected this opponent to be a familiar face.

Alice.

Linley Bart had a keen memory of her. When he had been searching for a treasure chest in her room, he had almost been discovered. Fortunately, he had used the Spiritual Control skill to escape.

But… the skill didn’t seem to work that well on Alice.

She also had some sort of mysterious magical talisman on her body that was resisting Linley’s spiritual control.

As soon as the match began and Alice had once again seen Linley’s face, memories from before seemed to flood back into her mind.

Alice had remembered what had happened before!

Upon seeing Linley’s face, she had recalled the incident that day!

“It’s you!” Alice exclaimed.

She remembered that Linley Bart was an expert in spiritual magic. This was already a piece of information that had spread around the academy.

This meant that on that day, she must have lost her memories under Linley’s spell.

This made Alice feel terrified. She had been controlled by a spiritual magic sorcerer!

And this person was even in her room, hiding in her closet!

Linley Bart could also sense that his spiritual spells had lost their effectiveness. Things seemed very awkward for him currently.

After all, he had barged into Alice’s room at that time and there was no legitimate reason for him to do so. He could not possibly tell her that he was looking for a treasure chest.

The other party obviously wouldn’t believe it either.

“Pervert!” Alice’s face turned red.

Although she didn’t know why Linley had hidden in her closet, she knew that he was definitely up to no good!

The wardrobe was filled with her clothes and underwear!

Who knew if he had taken anything away!

At this thought, Alice became even angrier.

However, she was too embarrassed to say it in front of so many people and could thus only focus on the duel at hand.

Because of her anger and shyness, Alice’s control over the magical elements became more violent and unstable. She could not even maintain a calm mind and cast her spells properly.

For sorcerers, casting magic spells with the most stable mentality was the most important.

However, it was also possible that a sorcerer’s emotions would affect the effects of the spells cast.

When angry, it was more suitable for the sorcerer to use offensive magic. However, the consumption of magic power would increase too.

When one was sad, it was easier for the sorcerer to cast large-scale magic, with a quicker cast time.

Alice was a water magic sorcerer and was well versed in controlling water elemental magic.

She was known as the “princess of mercenaries” in the academy, so she trained diligently every day, determined to win the championship.

Her sorcery talent was very high, and her affinity with the water element was even as high as 90%. She was also more proficient in using magic compared to others, and her casting speed was also faster than others.

This was also why Alice was able to enter the top ten.

She was also the youngest student besides Linley Bart and was currently in the third grade.

However, she was already an Intermediate Sorcerer that specialized in water magic.

It could be said that there was no one in the entire academy who worked harder than her.

Alice wanted to prove that she was stronger than others, stronger than anyone else so that no noble would look down on her!

Those despicable nobles would only bully her.

Alice had heard long ago that Linley Bart was a profligate son.

He must be trying to bully me, that’s why he’s hiding in my room! Who knows what he’s done after using his spiritual magic to control me!

At the thought of this, Alice felt even more ashamed and angry. Killing intent started to fill her eyes.

She did not want to let this man off. In her eyes, none of these aristocrats were good people!
