The most powerful wizard in the magic world

"Humph, coward. We are students of Mankro and may face danger at any time." The boy curled his lips in contempt, looking unscrupulous.

"I'm indeed not afraid of danger, but I want to live more." The girl retorted, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

At this moment, the academy instructor Alder came over and interrupted their argument. "Quiet! Everyone gather here." Alder's tall figure looked particularly majestic in the sun.

Following his call, all the students immediately quieted down and looked towards him. Alder was a shrewd and capable instructor, with a firm look in his eyes. He looked around at the students in front of him and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Today we are going to enter the secret realm. It is important that everyone should not only consider victory, but also protect their own lives. Teamwork is very important."

A student named Mira raised her hand, her voice a little nervous: "Teacher, how can we ensure safety?"

Alder smiled and comforted her: "In the secret realm, keep in touch with your teammates to ensure each other's safety. At the same time, try to avoid acting alone. As long as we unite, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."

Another boy then asked: "What if we encounter a strong enemy? There will be students from other colleges in the secret realm..."

"If you encounter a team from another academy, don't rush into a fight. Assessing the situation is the first step. If there is a huge disparity in strength, evacuating is a wise choice." The instructor replied, then pointed to Dean Grace, "Next, let our dean give everyone some advice."

Grace stood aside and walked forward gracefully. She was wearing a solemn robe, and the golden badge on her forehead shone brightly in the sun. Her voice was clear and bright, revealing majesty: "Students, the bloody battle in the secret realm is not only a test of your personal strength, but also a test of teamwork. No matter what situation you face, remember to be brave and calm."

"Dean, what kind of challenges do you think we will encounter in the secret realm?" a student full of curiosity could not help but ask.

Grace smiled and thought for a moment: "The mystery of the secret realm lies in its unpredictability. There may be deadly traps, or unexpected allies. Through this challenge, you will have a deeper understanding of your own abilities and shortcomings."

The students looked at each other, their hearts filled with anticipation for the upcoming challenges.

"Okay, there's not much time left, let's set off now!" Alder's voice rang out again, breaking the tense atmosphere in the air.

As the team began to move, the students' heartbeats accelerated, and adrenaline surged in their bodies. Every step was filled with unknowns and surprises, and the entrance to the secret realm gradually appeared in sight.

As you go deeper into the secret realm, the surrounding environment begins to change. The fog is thick and the trees are tall, like an endless maze. The road ahead is hidden from time to time, which makes people feel daunted.

"I'm a little scared." Mira whispered to her friends beside her.

"Don't be afraid, Mira, don't we still have Teacher Alder and the Dean?" the friend comforted her, although there was a hint of nervousness in her voice.

The boy next to him interrupted, "Didn't you hear what Alder said? This is to test your courage and wisdom, to let you grow in crisis. Stay calm!"

After walking for a while, the students finally reached an open area where the surrounding trees parted, revealing a small clear lake, the surface of which was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the sky.

"Everyone listen," Alder's voice remained firm, "The next action is very important. Everyone must remain vigilant at all times."

Just as he finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake surface, and a figure emerged from the water. Everyone looked over there in horror, only to see a tall young man walking out of the lake with a cunning smile on his face.

"Welcome to the stage of the bloody battle in the secret realm, students of Mankro." His words echoed on the empty lake. This person was the representative of another academy, an extremely dangerous opponent.

"Who are you?" a boy asked. Although he appeared brave on the outside, he started to get nervous inside.

"My name is Derek, I'm from the Dark Academy, and I'm here to challenge you." He gave a terrifying smile and slowly raised his hands, as if summoning something.

"Prepare for battle!" Alder shouted, commanding the team members to quickly stand with their backs together.

As Derek finished his spell, the lake suddenly became turbulent, and a black column of water rushed towards the Mankro students. The water column formed a whirlpool in the air, and almost instantly sucked a student into it.

"Hurry! Save him!" Mira shouted loudly, her eyes full of anxiety.

Alder quickly commanded: "Spread out, find a way to delay time, everyone be careful!"

The team quickly split into several groups, and some students began to surround Derek from all sides, trying to buy time for their companions. Mira and her friends gathered together, ready to support each other.

"I know how to break that water column!" Mira said suddenly.

"Are you crazy? It's too dangerous!" her friend tried to stop her, but Mira remained steadfast.

"As long as we distract him, we have a chance. Do you believe me?"

"I believe you!" the friend promised, a hint of courage in his eyes.

At the same time, the dark water around Derek began to roll in, and the whirlpool was so powerful that it seemed to be able to swallow them one by one. At the critical moment, Mira seized the opportunity, ran towards Derek, and jumped suddenly, trying to disrupt his concentration.

"Stupid child!" Derek sneered and waved his hand at Mira, and a stream of black water instantly hit her.

At this decisive moment, Mira only had a bit of courage left in her heart. She closed her eyes and tried her best to shoot a beam of light into the water column, straight towards Derek.

Almost at the same moment, a strong light tore through the dark aura, the liquid twisted in the light, and the power of the vortex was forced to weaken.

"Great!" The rest of the team cheered loudly, and an atmosphere of encouragement spread instantly.

As the light spread, Derek's face began to show uneasiness, and Mira took the opportunity to crawl out from the gap in the water column and returned to the team with courage.

"Keep attacking!" Ald commanded, and the students cast their magic and moved closer to Derek.
