In the few days after Rhodes and his party arrived, more and more mages gathered in the Ice Blue Magic Academy.
If the Magic Academy was still a little empty when Rhodes first arrived, now, the entire Magic Academy is filled with various creatures, whether it is the mages who came to participate in the event or others who have learned the news. , the elemental creature that came here with the mage.
On the nearby streets, strange-looking elemental creatures can be seen everywhere, and even some gods and monsters. Because of the large gathering of mages, they also took the initiative to appear here at this time.
The College Festival divides the areas within Bracada and selects a college in each area as a gathering place for members of other colleges.
The annual college event is held in this format, not only to facilitate the competition, but also to bring a period of prosperity to the selected college.
With the college event as the foundation, the impact it has brought will not disappear in a short time even if this college event ends.
It is foreseeable that even after the academy event is over, Ice Blue Magic Academy will enter a period of prosperity due to the impact of the academy event until the next academy event arrives.
For the mages of Brakada, the annual academy event is their only celebration. After the academy event is over, they have to devote themselves to the long process of studying spells. For this reason, they naturally cherish the academy very much. Opportunity for the event.
Of course, even here, not all mages have the opportunity to come to Ice Blue Magic Academy. Although the academy event does not limit the quotas for each academy, only a part of the mages with great potential will be selected from each academy. , let them participate in the college event.
Even so, more and more mages are gathering here.
With the large number of mages gathering, the magic elements that originally existed here are much thinner than at the beginning. Instead, there are frequent bursts of mana fluctuations.
While waiting, Rhodes even saw several colleges and directly chose to open the gate of time and space, bringing a large number of mages from the colleges to participate in the college event.
Due to the large increase in the number of people, the number of intact rooms provided by Ice Blue Magic Academy at the beginning also decreased sharply. In the end, it could only provide the simplest rooms similar to quiet rooms for the mages who arrived here.
Rhodes still seemed extremely lucky to be able to arrive early. If he had not been able to arrive early, it would have been a lot of trouble whether it was dealing with things or anything else.
After this period of gathering, the mage was almost there, and it was finally the day when the academy event started.
Under the guidance of Aaron, Rhodes took Rowling to a wide field.
At this time, a large number of mages have gathered in this area. These mages are scattered in different areas, seeming to be waiting for something.
These mages did not seem to be as harmonious with each other as Rhodes first saw them. Both their eyes and expressions were full of wariness.
According to the news that Ailon learned, after the simple opening ceremony, this college event officially began.
Before this, the mages who have come to Ice Blue Magic Academy may have already exchanged resources, including the acquisition of spell knowledge. However, some truly valuable things still need to wait until the academy event officially starts. Will appear.
Elon told Rhodes that with the opening of the academy's grand event, the first trial of the potion competition will be held here immediately. The mages gathered here at this time are all here for the potion competition.
The potion competition held in the Ice Blue Magic Academy will eliminate most of the mages here, leaving only the top few, who will be sent to the core location of this academy event for the final competition.
This also explains why these mages are on guard against each other. In the eyes of these mages, the mages around them are already considered their opponents.
Even before the potion competition has started, the struggle between these mages has begun. Even within the academy, mages who are also contestants will be wary of each other.
Although the competition between mages is not like what Rhodes saw in Diya, where necromancers compete for their lives, it is not much better. As long as there are interests, this competition will not disappear.
As the mages gradually arrived, Rhodes noticed that a person dressed as an orthodox mage appeared out of thin air in the venue.
This person was wearing an ice blue robe, with a slight silver edge on the edge of the robe. Since the color was similar, the silver edge was not particularly conspicuous. What caught Rhode's attention was that his face was older, and the people around him looked at him. Among them, Rhodes could vaguely see a trace of respect.
Through Elron's introduction, Rhodes also roughly understood the identity of this mage, who was the dean of Ice Blue Magic Academy, Els.
Rhodes could sense an obvious threat from Els. Els's strength surpassed all the mages Rhodes had seen before.
Just after Els appeared, the originally noisy venue instantly became quiet. Even if the mages needed to talk, they only did so in a low voice.
It stands to reason that mages of Els's level rarely come out for activities. They just focus on studying spells and hope that their spell-casting abilities can reach a new level. Generally speaking, the common mages are those of lower levels.
However, since the branch of the academy event was selected at Ice Blue Magic Academy, as the dean of the academy, Els had to come forward.
After a mage has passed the accumulation period of strength, he will fall into a long bottleneck period. During this period, no matter how many spells he has mastered, his own essence has not improved.
Els is in this state. He is not as enthusiastic about the academy event as ordinary mages. Since he has seen too many such situations, it seems difficult for these ordinary situations to cause Els's mood swings.
Seeing that the attention of all the surrounding mages had turned to him, Els briefly said a few words about the situation of this academy event.
Els's voice was not loud, but to Rhodes' ears, Els's voice could pass through this large area and reach his ears clearly.
Looking at the situation of other mages around, it is obvious that the same is true. Many knowledgeable mages can understand what kind of methods Els used, but the remaining mages seem extremely confused.
Els didn't say much, but simply mentioned the upcoming potion competition, and then used teleportation again to leave the field.
