Chapter 211: A Bit Good
The competition venue is not far from where the three of them are now, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
This is the academy's competition area, which is used specifically for various competitions or fights.
Although it is a relatively harmonious academy, fighting is something that professionals cannot avoid. Except for the prophecy department, the other three departments of magicians must undergo combat training.
The profession of mage is generally only divided into the shaping department, transformation department, spiritual department and prophecy department in places like academies.
Mages who have not received such systematic training basically have to know a little bit of every type of spell.
However, as the saying goes, it is better to be proficient in one thing than to be good at all. It is definitely better for students to specialize in one thing.
After all, human energy is always limited, and only by specializing in one thing can you go further.
However, the most specialized magic in combat is definitely the shaping magic. After all, this spell faction has the most destructive magic.
It can be seen from the school uniforms of the participating students that the largest number is definitely from the body shaping department, followed by the transformation department, and then the spiritual department. As for the last one, there are only about seven or eight people participating in this competition.
There are nine arenas built on the huge venue, and outside the arenas are circles of stands. The overall layout is like a colosseum.
Most of the people in the stands are students’ parents, elders and the like.
There is a very interesting phenomenon. Although Phoenix University of Magic has enrolled many students from commoner families, more than 80% of the people in the stands are nobles dressed in luxurious clothes, and it seems that there are not many real commoners.
The location of the stands is also very interesting.
From top to bottom, there seems to be a clear hierarchy. It seems that the more noble a person's status is, the higher he stands and the more people are around him.
This place has become a social gathering. Most of the nobles are talking around one or two people in the crowd, while their children are standing aside, listening to their parents' introductions. These will be very important resources and relationships in the future.
However, Caesar didn't know many people. After all, he himself was not very interested in these things.
The only people I knew were the ones I met at Barricka's coming-of-age ceremony that day, and were introduced to them one by one by Lucia.
It is worth mentioning that people from the Dex family also came.
However, there was another person who came besides Barricka's father, William Dex.
Her uncle, Gray Dex, also came, and with him was Michael Rhine. Last time, his cousin caused trouble in front of the Vatican's cassava stall and was sanctioned by Caesar, it was this guy who came out to apologize.
I remember that he was a very cruel guy. He almost slapped his cousin to death.
The Dex family has a very high status even in the entire royal capital. What's more, with the three of them here now, there are quite a lot of people around them.
It was quite surprising to see these three people appear together for such a small event. Many people wanted to seize this opportunity to show their faces in front of them.
In the Dex family, William is the head of the family, responsible for managing all family affairs, business, wealth, etc., while his younger brother Gray Dex holds an official position in the Orn Empire and is in charge of a fairly large army of golems. The two brothers, one rich and the other powerful, cannot be ignored together.
As for Michael Rhine, his family is the famous Sword Saint family. Although the legend is said to no longer care about the family and only works for the royal family, if something really happens, can he really sit back and do nothing?
If we talk about the possible identities of these three people alone, they are not the top ones present, but when the three of them are together, their weight is unmatched.
People automatically regarded Michael Rhine as a member of the Dex family, and they didn't care at all about Barricka's escape from marriage.
This kind of thing of avoiding engagement is not the first time that has happened in this land. So what if he hides in a place like Phoenix University of Magic where no one can get in?
After a few years, after graduating from college and disappearing for a while, when he appears again, the person who ran away from marriage will still obediently accept his fate.
This is a big net, and no one can escape unless they have a force strong enough to ignore the rules.
Caesar naturally noticed that too.
He discovered something very strange.
People kept coming forward to socialize with them, but most of the time, it was the younger brother Gray Dex who was talking, while his older brother William Dex stood behind him and Mihaly, which was obviously wrong.
According to Ornn's social etiquette, it should be William, as his elder brother, who should take the lead in talking, but he just stood at the back, as if he was relying on his younger brother and future "son-in-law" to make the decision.
Barricka was not with them either. Caesar looked around but did not see his cheap apprentice in the crowd. Instead, he unexpectedly found Heather and her parents.
Her father looked like a somewhat fat Mediterranean man. He was very plump and his blond hair was extremely sparse. The sun was a bit strong today and he kept wiping his sweat. The other person standing there should be her mother. Both of them had the classic image of ordinary aristocrats.
Heather was holding her father's arm and talking to him. There was no one around them, but there was a vacant space.
Barica wasn't with them either.
"Xize, where is your apprentice?" Nellie poked Xize's kidney with her elbow.
"What are you doing? Talk, but don't make any moves."
Caesar twisted his body to avoid her hand: "Even if you want to do it, I can't do anything, but don't poke me here."
"Why, is this place very expensive?"
Nelly has a rebellious mentality. If you don't let her poke, she will do it anyway.
"Don't move, don't move."
Caesar avoided Nellie.
If you damage this place, can you afford the compensation?
"Stop it, I'll go find where Barica is."
Caesar quickly became serious and walked towards Heather.
Seeing that Caesar had become serious, Nelly decided not to do anything else. She calmed down and followed Caesar towards that direction.
Evia found the interaction between the two guys quite interesting.
The two of them get along very naturally, giving people a family feeling, like a young couple who have been together for a long time.
It's even a bit annoying.
Thinking of this, Evia became alert.
Yue, why don’t you come back? It’s dangerous!
Although the noise from the fight here is not loud, it still doesn't match the atmosphere here.
The nobles over there were still networking, but here they were having a little fun, which still attracted some people's attention.
This also includes Gray Dex.
Is that His Majesty?
He looked in the direction of Caesar.
The people around him also looked in Caesar's direction.
The hero who slays the dragon?
Many people recognized the identity of that gentleman.
