The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

There are nearly 1000 senior wizard apprentices in Gleeman College, but senior wizard apprentices are already the limit below wizards.

Some of those who have trained to the level of quasi-level wizard apprentices are not very keen on this competition. Most of them go out to look for opportunities and resources for breakthroughs, or are sent to some places to perform garrison missions.

There are also some who have managed to break through to the level of senior wizard apprentices through various unconventional means, but have lost their potential and stamina, and are too lazy to take any college exams.

In the end, only about 260 people participated in the official competition. Based on the registration situation, the first round among senior wizard apprentices adopted a single elimination system, and the second, third, and fourth rounds adopted a double elimination system.

Finally, the top 16 will be played to decide the top 8 to participate in the competition outside the college.

After a simple draw, Colin got the number 58.

On the afternoon of the second day, Colin started playing.

His first opponent was a high-level wood-type wizard apprentice. His conventional spell attacks did not cause Colin much trouble. On the contrary, due to the mutual restraint between the two, Colin quickly injured him.

Colin's second opponent was a high-level earth wizard apprentice. His excellent defense made Colin gradually impatient. He wanted to use the ultimate tactic, but after thinking that this was only the second round, it would be better to use it at the critical moment.

Relying on the strength of a part-time knight squire, it took a long time to defeat the opponent.

Colin's third opponent was a high-level fire wizard apprentice. He was just as good as Colin in attack and attack. Colin couldn't gain any advantage at all. In the end, he won by relying on his earth-based defense.

At this point, Colin was already struggling. After all, he had just advanced successfully, while many of his opponents had already advanced for many years. They were better than Colin in both spell proficiency and mana reserves.

But Colin didn't want to stop in the round of 16, nor did he want to use the ultimate tactic in the round of 32. After all, as the battle progressed, there were not many senior wizard apprentices on the field. If this tactic was used once, others would be prepared next time.

Someone outside the venue opened the handicap. Each senior wizard apprentice had the possibility of becoming a dark horse. Although Colin had never lost, his odds were not low, at 1.8. Perhaps others could see that he was a little weak.

Helen was always aware of Colin's thoughts. She took advantage of the betting opportunity to purchase some information about other qualified contestants.

It cost more than 300 merit points, which was enough to buy a lot of resources or courses, but Helen didn't feel sorry at all, just to fight for that little bit of opportunity for her lover.

When they returned to their residence at night, Colin and Helen formulated new tactics based on the characteristics of each department's wizard apprentices.

After looking through the information, there are all kinds of situations, and no one is worse than Colin. Even his good friends Connie and Marcus are not given for nothing.

He is not worried about those whose attack power is not as good as Colin's. He can just rely on his own good defense to defeat them. It is just a matter of time.

When facing an opponent with strong attack power, you have to consider how to delay the opponent's attack speed and constantly cause interference until the opponent is defeated.

For players with strong defense, the only way is to use kerosene to increase the attack strength, but unless it is a critical moment, Colin still wants to save it for last.

For players who are good at both offense and defense, we have to counter their moves and see who can ultimately outlast them.

Because potions were not allowed in the competition, the potions Colin had purchased a few days ago were basically useless. It was also impossible for him to learn any spells on the spur of the moment.

Although he discussed the matter with Helen for quite some time, Colin still rested for the night with some trepidation.

The draw on the second day was dramatic. Among the 33 senior wizard apprentices, he drew a bye.

The first match was very intense. The two fire wizard apprentices, both with strong personalities, were evenly matched. In the end, they defeated their opponents at the same time and seriously injured each other.

The final result was a draw, but the rules of the competition stipulated that the official wizard would not take action unless his life was in danger.

Given the actual situation of these two people, even if they both advance, they will definitely lose in the next round.

After careful consideration, both of them withdrew from the competition.

In the end, Colin easily advanced to the top 15 along with Connie, Marcus and 16 other contestants.

It is said that luck is also part of strength.

During this time, Colin once again asked Dixing what his luck value was, but perhaps because of his own strength, nothing was detected and it was still an unknown attribute. However, Colin was still quite satisfied with his luck value.

On the third day of the competition, Colin did not meet his two good friends, but instead encountered a strong opponent, a thunder wizard apprentice.

Colin was in terrible pain from the electrocution, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. It seemed that he could not hold on any longer. As a last resort, Colin released the spell he had prepared for a long time, which was a combination of grease magic, kerosene and exploding fireball.

The opponent was almost burned to death, thanks to the quick hands of the wizard on the field. According to people's subsequent evaluation, the effect of this added attack was no less than a powerful blow from a quasi-level wizard apprentice.

So far, Colin has successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, which is considered to be a preliminary achievement of his pre-match goal.

Colin, who is thick-skinned and strong, was full of energy on the court again on the fourth day, and Helen made a small profit from the handicap betting on the previous day.

Although Colin seemed to be in good shape, he had no luck afterwards.

Others had already seen Colin's lack of attack power, and used the bonus of regular props to win the previous game.

His latest opponent is an apprentice of the light wizard, who not only has excellent defense, but also good healing ability and powerful attack power. Even though Colin used the kerosene tactic, he was defeated in the end.

It seems that Colin still has a chance to compete for the fifth place, but he entered the round of 16 with a bye and is already a little behind in the score, basically missing out on the top five. Fortunately, he can represent the academy as a substitute in the quarterfinals, so he is not without a chance.

On the fifth day, Colin's opponent was his old friend Marcus. Neither of them had much intention to fight, they just had a friendly sparring match. In the end, Colin took seventh place and Marcus came in eighth.

And the battle of good friend Connie has just begun. Connie's opponent is a powerful ice wizard. Yes, ice wizard, not Helen's water wizard.

Powerful ice spells came one after another. Although Connie's affinity with wind gave her a good speed, coupled with her part-time job as a ranger, her attack power was even more powerful with the bonus of wind speed.

But the control power of ice spells was too strong, and Connie soon lost her speed advantage under the influence of the opponent's various slow spells.

However, her attack spells could not break through the opponent's defense barrier, and she was finally defeated by her opponent and finished fifth.

The college's competitions are finally over, and the next step is to go out and represent the college in competitions.

Senior wizard apprentices are not like mid-level and low-level ones. They are the backbone of the academy, and the academy as a whole also attaches great importance to them. The 260 apprentices participating in the competition can obtain 100 merit points just by participating.

The top 32 and top 16 teams will receive additional merit points based on their ranking.

The top 8 will represent the academy in the competition, and the merit points will be considerable. The key is the subsequent competitions. If you can get a good result outside, the resources provided to you for promotion to a formal wizard will be the most attractive.

The league for high-level wizard apprentices from major forces on the continent will be held in about a year.

Soon, the college made a new decision, and the final departure date was set for a month later.
