Time flies, Raymond is already thirteen years old.

In recent years, Raymond and Elise have not returned to Glou Town. The Pruton Magic Academy has only two months of long holidays every year, and it takes too much time to travel to and from Glou Town. Moreover, Raymond and Elise are both young and are not suitable for a separate long-distance trip. So in recent years, Uncle Hank has been visiting them.

Every time he came, Uncle Hank would bring some honey from the stamen bee to Raymond and the others, and tell them what happened in Glou Town. For example, last year, a Level 4 Warcraft Bloodthirsty Mad Pig suddenly rushed out of the Warcraft Forest, frightening the people in the town. Fortunately, Uncle Hank killed the Bloodthirsty Mad Pig in time, so that he did not cause much damage.

Six months ago, Raymond officially advanced to become a level 3 magician. Raymond's rapid advancement made him famous throughout the Pruton Magic and Martial Arts Academy.

"Raymond, in a week it will be the annual 'Grade Race' day at Pruton College. Elise and I are ready to participate. Do you go?" Jessica rarely spoke to Raymond.

"Of course I'm going. I couldn't participate before, so I could only watch it. Now I'm finally able to participate, so how could I miss it?"

How could Raymond not know that the famous "Grade Gym Competition" of the Pruton Magic and Martial Arts Academy is about to be held. In the past few days, Adler and the others kept talking in Raymond how good and wonderful the grade competition is. Unfortunately, the three of them still do not meet the standards for participating in the grade competition, because all three of them are still in the second grade.

The ‘Grades Arena Competition’ is an old tradition in Pruton’s Magic and Martial Arts Academy. In the last month of each year, the college holds a Grades Arena Competition. Because the first and second grade students have a short study time and are not proficient in their own abilities, the college stipulates that only third graders and higher grades can participate in the ‘Grades Arena Competition’.

For third-grade students, magicians fight against magicians, warriors fight against warriors. And senior students in fourth, fifth and sixth grades are a melee between warriors and magicians.

The annual grade competition can be said to be the most lively time for the entire Pruton Academy. At Pruton Academy, geniuses are gathered, and geniuses have a bad habit, which is difficult to convince people. Therefore, the annual grade competition becomes an opportunity for geniuses to become famous. People above the ninth level of the Pruton Magic and Martial Arts Academy will pay attention to the grade competition, and those with some strength will participate. In addition, if you win in the grade competition, you will easily be rated as an outstanding student when you graduate, and several empires will warmly invite them.

Raymond and Elise went to the teacher to sign up together.

Back at the dormitory, Raymond told Adler and the others that he wanted to participate in the grade competition, which attracted a lot of envy.

"Why can't second-grade students participate in the grade competition? It's unfair." Cole complained.

"Who told you not to practice hard? And you, a second-level magician, will set off a few fireballs, what's the good thing about it?" Adler hit Cole without hesitation. "Raymond, our 1308 dormitory is all up to you. We will cheer for you during the game. This is related to the honor of our dormitory."

"Yes, you'll go with your Bena then." George also took the opportunity to tease Adler.

After three years of hard work, Adler finally caught up with the confused girl Benna.

"Okay, Ignore you. I'll take advantage of these few days to practice. If I'm eliminated in the first round, it would be too ugly." Raymond walked back to his room.

The next morning, Raymond went to morning exercise as usual. Maybe everyone was preparing for the upcoming grade stage competition, and there were much more people doing morning exercises today than usual.

"Brother Raymond, here." Elise greeted Raymond from a distance.

Raymond walked towards Elise and the others, "Elis, you are also preparing for the grade competition." "Well," Elise nodded cutely. "Since you sign up, you have to do your best. I don't want to be eliminated from the beginning. This is my first time participating in the grade competition, and I must give myself a good memory." The little loli clenched her fists and shook her chest hard.

"Raymond, I want to compete with you to see who both of us can get a better ranking in the grade." Jessica challenged Raymond.

"Jessica, I haven't provoked you recently!" Raymond couldn't understand why a girl was so warlike. No matter how he looked at Jessica, he didn't look like a tomboy.

Jessica ignored Raymond and turned to the training ground. She had been looking forward to the grade game for a long time and would never allow herself to be slackened.

"Brother Raymond, I'm going to go training too, goodbye." Elise waved at Raymond and chased Jessica.

Raymond shrugged and went to practice morning exercises on his own.

As the grade competition approaches, there is a lively atmosphere everywhere in Pruton Magic and Martial Arts Academy. After morning exercises, Raymond came to the library of Pruton Academy again. Since Raymond first entered this library three years ago, going to the library to read books every day has become a new habit for Raymond.

After more than two years of reading, Raymond has a more detailed understanding of the entire Dawn Continent. The book introduces that there are two lands in this world, one large and one small. A small piece of land in the far north is deserted! The other main continent is the land where people live now, that is, the Dawn Continent. Around the Dawn Continent is an endless sea, and to the east of the Dawn Continent is a vast forest of monsters. To the north is the sea of ​​stars, and from the far north, looking away from the far north. To the west is the Thousand Mile White Bone Desert, and to the south is the Corrik Volcano Group, the highest point of the continent.

There are four major empires and one alliance in the Dawn Continent, namely the Hill Empire in the northwest, the Davos Empire in the east, the Alan Kingdom in the north, and the Desert Alliance consisting of eleven small countries near the Thousand Miles of White Bone Desert in the southwest, and the Scott Empire in the center of the continent. These countries are all divided by the Dawn Empire that unified the entire Dawn Continent.

As for why the continent is named Dawn Continent, it is because the continent changes heaven and earth every five thousand years, and purple dawn falls from the sky and shines the entire extreme north.

At this time, Raymond was reading a book he found on the second floor explaining water magic.

"Although this book "How the Water Magic is Refined", although it does not explain any advanced water magic, the explanation of water magic is indeed very clever." Raymond was fascinated by it. Raymond had read some books explaining water magic before, but none of them resonated so much like this book "How the Water Magic is Refined" that made him so resonate.

"The essence of water-based magic is the flexible transformation between the three states of solid, liquid and gas." This sentence is really good, reaching Raymond's heart. The best is like water. Water can be said to be the most variable substance, and water-based magic must produce greater power through flexible changes.

After reading the book "How the Water Magic is Made" in one breath, Raymond took a deep breath.

In the past, Raymond always thought that the power of water magic was too small, not as violent as fire magic, nor as heavy as ground magic. Now Raymond has finally changed his mind.

Putting the not-so-thick book "How to Refined Water Magic" back to its original place, Raymond left the library. It was already noon, and before he knew it, Raymond had been in the library for four hours. In the past few days, Raymond would not go to the library again until the grade competition. He needed to digest what he saw today. If Raymond could completely digest and flexibly use what he saw today before the grade competition, Raymond believed that his strength would immediately be improved on a large scale.

Now Raymond is looking forward to the grade competition more and more.

Just as Raymond was thinking hard in the house, Adler and the others were not idle. The college’s grade ring competition was about to be held, and some preparations were handed over to these first- and second-year students.

"Ah, I'm so tired. George, go and pour me a glass of water." Adler fell on the sofa in the living room without any intention of moving.

"Boss, please let your second brother go. He has been the most relaxed these days. Is it because we are soldiers that we have to do the work of moving seats and building sheds?" George fell down next to Adler, constantly rubbing his arms.

Hearing them say this, Cole immediately complained. "Don't say anything. If I can choose, I would rather move things with you. It's more embarrassing to do this now than I do now."

At this moment, Adler and George were both curious. What was Cole doing to make him feel embarrassed? Perhaps seeing their doubts, Cole was a little helpless: "Don't ask me what's going on. You two will know when the grade competition is open. Boss, I really envy your bald head."

Leaving such an inexplicable sentence, Cole went back to his room directly. In the living room, only Adler and George, who were tortured by curiosity, looked at each other.

············

The day before the grade stage competition, Raymond finally left his room. Looking at his expression at this moment, Raymond had already digested what he had learned from the book "How the Water Magic is Refined".

Today is the day when the draw of lottery determines the order of the competition in the grade stage competition. In the square in the center of the academy, many students who were preparing to draw lots had gathered. Because Raymond and the magicians fought separately with the warriors, Raymond and Jessica did not line up in the same place.

In the third-grade mage group, Raymond drew the number 28, a relatively higher number. After drawing, Raymond did not leave immediately. He had to wait for Elise and the others. Before a while, Elise led Jessica to come.

"Brother Raymond, I got No. 3, it's very high. Jessica got No. 187. According to the battle chart given by the academy, we will not meet each other after many games." Elise was obviously satisfied with the result.

"I drew No. 28, I should be able to see both of you in the first few rounds of the game."

"Brother Raymond, you must cheer for me when the time comes." Although Jessica next to her didn't say it, she obviously hoped that Raymond could watch her game.

"I will go to the two of you. You have to have a good rest tonight, and you should pay attention to your diet."

As night falls gradually, tomorrow is the day for the grade stage competition!
Chapter completed!
