Lanza chatted with Andrew for a while, then deliberately put on an embarrassed look and taunted the few mages from Faerun City.

“I’m sorry, the quality of our Academy’s students is indeed not bad this time. The talents that your city has nurtured this year are a bit weak. What a pity.”

“How dare you!”

The advanced mage, Mr. Nolan, was also the President of the Association of Faerun City. He stood up angrily. On the other side, the two intermediate mages from Faerun City were much calmer.

One of them, Mensa, spoke slowly.

“According to what I know, this Tim should be a graduate of your Academy. How can he participate in the Academy’s competition this time?”

Lanza’s smile froze. In a small place like Rafax City, the Magic Academy only provided courses that went all the way to the beginner mage level, and Tim had applied to graduate early because he had to get the Association’s allowance as soon as possible to subsidize his family expenses.

The people of Faerun City had already realized this.

Before the people on the rostrum could react, Mensa jumped down.

Then, he stood in front of Tim and said, “Since you have graduated, and yet you can represent the Academy. You won’t mind competing with me, right?”

Lanza turned pale with fright.

“You guys are crazy!”

Andrew’s expression was cold as he said, “Shameless.”

Although he was confident in his son’s strength, it didn’t mean that Tim would be able to defeat this intermediate mage. He was also a little anxious.

However, Tim nodded seriously.

“Your point is valid!”

“Come on.”

He said casually, not taking this so-called intermediate mage seriously.

“Good, you have courage!”

To confirm the results of the competition, Mensa had already charged Tim.

Unlike the first time he faced his opponent, who was also a beginner mage, Tim was not as arrogant this time. Instead, he calmly condensed a fireball and a wind blade in each of his hands, ready to face the attack.

“You can use two types of magic at the same time, and your energy level far surpasses that of an average beginner mage. You’re indeed a genius! But unfortunately, I can’t let you live!”

Mensa’s eyes turned cold. Initially, he just wanted to teach Tim a hard lesson, but when he realized Tim’s superb talent and potential, he had the intention to kill.

“With such a genius, Faerun City will probably be suppressed for many years to come…”

Mensa conjured an intermediate spell called ‘water flow avoidance’ in his palm to block Tim’s attack. At the same time, under the cover of the water flow, he took out a magic scroll.

This was an advanced intermediate spell. It was the ultimate single-target explosive damage spell in the intermediate mage realm. It was able to kill in one hit!

However, Tim did not notice it at all.

In the next second, the flames and wind blades collided with the water flow and then canceled out. The explosion that was set off even forced Mensa back a few meters, making him look rather pathetic. The people of Rafax City in the Academy’s Grand Competition venue cheered.

At this moment, as if they had received some kind of signal, the few mages from the Faerun City, who were originally sitting on the rostrum, also teleported to the viewing platform belonging to their own Academy.

“What are they trying to do?”
