Chapter 86 Within a year
Arthur was completely stunned and left for a year.
There was no sunrise or sunset. Arthur didn't know how long he had been in that strange world, but he definitely didn't have a year. Arthur himself estimated that it would only take months at most, and the food consumed could be roughly estimated.
But a year has passed in the Belland Continent, and Arthur can't find the reason at all. The issue involving time is the most complicated. Although time magic is within the twelve-type magic, it is listed as a forbidden area for magic. No magician on the continent has publicly claimed that he has mastered time magic.
Arthur could only guess that perhaps the time flow rate in the two worlds was different, or perhaps that he had consumed a lot of time in the space channel.
No matter what the problem lies, Arthur was absent from this world for a year.
A lot has happened this year.
In a year, the freshmen of that year have begun to make breakthroughs one after another. Huey and Gary are now level 4 war lieutenants, and Joan and Nini are already level 3 magicians. Even Moral, a lazy guy, has reached the peak of level 2 magicians and the brink of breakthrough.
Seeing himself, Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Whether it is fighting spirit or magic, there is still some distance to the next level of breakthrough.
Arthur was not exempted from the assessment because of the year he left. In the competition a few days later, he personally witnessed the growth of his peers, and he was more mature in both the use of magic and fighting methods.
Arthur met the girl magician in the first round of last year again in the first game. Compared with Arthur who put the sword on his neck without even releasing a defensive magic, this year the female magician released two defensive magics in a row before being rushed to the front of Arthur. When Arthur approached, he pulled a magic scroll of "Thunder Control" and gave Arthur a thunder strike before calmly admitting defeat.
Although the girl lost again, she stepped down with a smile, obviously because she avenged her evil deeds last year.
After several consecutive battles, although Arthur won, it was obviously much more difficult than last year. Especially in the battle with Nini, Arthur even used the fighting skills in the Crazy Thunder Sword Technique to finally win. By competing with the magician's fighting style, Arthur is unable to defeat Nini now.
If there is another person whose strength has not changed, it can only be the fool Qiong, who is still playing the Fire Dragon Technique in the competition field without any novelty just like last year.
Even so, Qiong still stood in the final duel. Before the powerful seventh-level fire spell, no one was Qiong's opponent.
Another showdown with Arthur was proposed by Joan, "It's the price last year, which makes me win this game?"
"Okay!" Arthur agreed without any hesitation.
"I have an additional condition to tell me where you have been this year."
"Trade!" Arthur didn't even look like this time and turned around and stepped down.
"You two little bastards!" Another deal in front of him, Austin finally couldn't suppress his anger, and two lightning bolts as thick as his arms fell from the sky.
Arthur and Joan didn't even have a chance to dodge. They were both hit by lightning, and fell down in burnt all over. When they fell to the ground, their bodies were still thrusting.
The students watching the game below were so scared that they didn't dare to show up. Now they realized that the title of "burning out" Austin originally refers not to spells, but to temper.
Many people don’t know that after the end of the year, Arthur and Huey will have another competition.
This time, Arthur took the initiative to come to Huey. Neither of them made any comments to the outside world. The competition was held in front of a secluded hillside in the back mountain of the college administrative district.
Arthur's original intention was to test how big the gap between him and Huey in one year? But the result of the competition surprised Arthur himself. Huey, who is already a fourth-level battle lieutenant, was stronger and faster, but in addition to defeating Arthur in the competition, he was restrained in the competition.
The Star Falcon Sword in Arthur's hand seemed to have eyes, and could always appear on Huey's attack route. With a slight slash, a smear, a smear, a smear, a complete dissolution of his accumulated momentum-building attack containing the fighting spirit.
Huey's attack was like a storm, continuous, but Arthur's sword was like spring breeze and rain. Huey's fierce offensive was so sharp that Arthur had no temper at all.
At this moment, Arthur's loss finally calmed down. He did not make any progress in the year he lost. After practicing sword skills under the three times the gravity of that strange world and returning to normal gravity, Arthur's control of the power on the sword was able to be meticulous and mature at a young age.
Another small thing is that during the year when Arthur was away, Grand Duke Palmer visited three times, and even if he was not there, he left valuable gifts. Along with the gifts were also the famous middle-aged scribe Shino Howells, the son-in-law of the Grand Duke.
The story about Sino caused a sensation in the whole royal city back then, and even Moral could tell Arthur a vivid passage.
The general idea was that Shino abducted Grand Duke Palmer's beloved daughter Gloria elope, and broke through several groups of high-level warriors sent by the Grand Duke, and finally forced Grand Duke Palmer to take action himself to keep the person. But Gloria finally forced him to die, and Jino destroyed his meridians and abolished the cultivation of a level eight warrior, which made the Grand Duke feel compassionate and let the two go.
The ending of the story is more than ten years later. The Grand Duke suddenly woke up and invited the two and their own children back to the Grand Duke's Mansion. In the past two years, he paid more attention to the son-in-law.
After hearing this, Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. It seemed that he could not even get rid of the fate between him and the Grand Duke Palmer's mansion.
This is something Arthur knows, and there are also a few things that Arthur doesn't know.
......
In an underground dark room in the royal city.
A tall and thin man in black stood facing the wall and said in a cold voice: "You two groups of killers have been watching this for a whole year, but there is no news at all. How did you do it?"
Lei Jiu, wearing a gorgeous long gown, had bitterness on his face, "After the last time you missed, you told me to be patient and not to act in the Xueyao Academy. We kept watching, but we have not taken the target for more than a year, and our subordinates have never had the chance to take action again."
"You mean it's my responsibility to fail to succeed?"
"I don't dare to do so, please supervise the supervisor." Lei Jiu was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground half-kneeled.
"There is no clue yet when the robbery of the business last time, right?"
The cold sweat on Lei Jiu's face had already come down.
"Neither thing is done. Put the other things in your hands and finish the matter first and then do other things." The black-clothed governor removed Lei Jiu's other positions with a light sentence.
"Thank you, Lord."
The black-clothed governor waved his hand, "Continue to stare, he can't go without a step."
What Lei Jiu did not expect was that in the next year, Arthur still did not take a step forward in the academy.
There are no hidden dangers in the practice of fighting spirit for the time being. Arthur plunged into the hard work and magic practice for the whole year.
Time flies, and when another year-end is approaching, Arthur's fighting spirit has finally accumulated to the peak of level three.
