When the names of both parties began to appear on the light screen above the arena, the contestants finally entered the arena.
Suyatuta and Onassis walked to the front and back of the stage, immediately triggering a wave of cheers from the audience. However, the two people on the stage did not share their eyes with the audience, but looked at each other.
Angel once met Suya Tutai in the valley before entering the Purification Garden. At that time, Suya Tutai seemed to be an elegant scholar, and his temperament was very similar to Professor Anglo, the 'string picker' of White Coral Floating Island College.
Similar, gentle and polite, with the light of erudite wisdom shining in his eyes.
Compared with her appearance at that time, Suya Tutai's appearance today has not changed much, but she is younger and more handsome. The aura around her is still as elegant as ever.
Suyatuta's opponent, the "philosopher" Onassis, is a dull boy who looks a bit like a nerd. When they stand together on the same stage, they are more like a teacher and student than an opponent.
"Is he the weird player you mentioned? It doesn't seem to be anything special. You can just see the energy fluctuations, but it's not as good as Charlie." Greya also looked at Onassis with a probing expression.
: "Uto Academy is a gathering place for white wizards, and Onassis's temperament is in line with that of a typical academic."
When Greya said this, she glanced at Angel: "Judging from the appearance, he is more traditional academic than you."
Angel did not respond to Grea, but looked at Onassis quietly.
Onassis seemed to have caught Angel's gaze and turned his head to look over. When he saw Angel, he was stunned and immediately showed an innocent smile.
Greya noticed this scene: "How do you feel, you know him?"
Angel was also a little enlightened at this time. He had previously speculated whether this "philosopher" could be the person he met before, but he didn't expect it to be...
"We had a chance encounter."
Greya looked suspicious: "Why don't I feel like we just met each other? In the audience of tens of thousands of people, he was the only one who noticed you?"
Angel was actually a little confused. He didn't cover his gaze deliberately, but he also didn't use any mental power to assist his gaze. It was just an ordinary glance. The other party actually caught his gaze and even looked over at the first time. This made
Angel felt very strange.
"It's true that we only met each other once." Angel briefly told the story of the last time he met this young man.
Once, he saw a young man reading a book seriously in the corridor of the Infinite Battle Tower. The main reason why he noticed him was that behind the young man was the backstage of the players, and Angel noticed that the strong atmosphere in the backstage of the players was
The smell of blood.
Angel wondered if it was this young man who did it, so he looked at him.
Angel remembered that the other party was reading a philosophy book called "Niederbergen's Lies".
This is a philosophical book that explores lies and truth. It is of no help to the strength of extraordinary beings. It is just an idealistic philosophical speculation. It is not a book that young people would read.
It was precisely because of this detail that Angel remembered that boy.
Later, I heard that there was a contestant named "Philosopher". The first thing Angel thought of was the boy who read "Niederbergen's Lies". However, he had never met Onassis, so Angel
I'm just guessing.
Today was the first time Angel saw Onassis, and it turned out that his guess was not wrong.
Onassis was that boy at that time.
After listening to Angel's story, Greya pondered for a moment and said: "A young man who likes to read philosophy books? It sounds more like a traditional academic. You know, philosophy pays attention to speculation, and some academic wizards are obviously in
He is unreasonable on some issues related to combat applications, but he can use this kind of philosophical rhetoric to argue and force the unreasonable to be reasonable."
"Anyway, they are just guys who want to save face."
After Greya finished speaking, she shook her head. It was obvious that she was distracted by this complaint. She probably had a similar experience.
"Then what happened behind the scenes of the contestants, was he the one who did it?" Greya was a little curious. According to Angel, Onassis seemed to be exactly the same as he was on the surface, just a dull young man, not someone who did these things.
"I don't know." Angel said. To him, this was just an insignificant laugh. It didn't matter whether he knew or not. Angel and Onassis just met each other and left without going.
Explore.
…
While Angel was talking to Greya, there was also a conversation going on in the ring.
"Who are you looking at?" The gentle and polite voice came from Suya Tutai.
After Onassis looked back at Angel, he suppressed the smile on his lips and said calmly: "I'm looking at someone just like you."
"Same as me?" Suya Tutai didn't understand.
"At the philosophical debate meeting at Utopia College five years ago, I was reading a book, and you were the only person who affirmed the book I was reading." Onassis paused: "He was the same, and he also affirmed my reading.
book of."
"Five years ago, it was such a distant time." A glimmer of light flashed in Suyatu Tai's eyes: "In other words, the days at Uto College are as if they were a world away from my current life."
Onassis looked at Suyatuta quietly and did not reply.
Suya Tutai was silent for a moment: "I remember that the book you were reading at that time was "Pink Elephant and Colorless Rain", right?"
Mentioning his favorite books, Onassis nodded solemnly.
"This is a philosophical book that talks about necessity and non-essentialness, sense of existence and cognitive bias." Suya Tutai had obviously read this book and quickly extracted the key points of the book. Onassis looked solemn.
As if he had found the truth, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he changed the subject: "Unfortunately, it is full of absurd fallacies."
Onassis's eyes suddenly widened.
"The pink elephant will not burst into your mind for no reason. You think it is a presence that cannot be ignored, but in fact it is just you thinking; the colorless rain is like air. If you think you have not noticed it, that is just you.
,I feel like your body has actually remembered his presence.”
"In other words, these books are just the authors trapped in a cocoon in their own idealistic world." Suya Tutai said coldly and mockingly.
Onassis did not argue, but just asked: "But you didn't say that at the time. You confirmed the book at the time."
Suya Tutai laughed: "That's because I think it doesn't matter what books nerds read. It's better if you read fairy tales."
Onassis looked at Suyatuta and said calmly: "Although fairy tales are written for children, many of them also contain philosophy, so I will also read them."
"Because we have met before, I can remind you that those are all lies. Philosophies are all fake." Suyatu Tai's voice became slightly deeper.
Onassis sighed softly: "I always remember your nickname. When I chose my own nickname, I even wanted to follow in your footsteps... I thought you would understand me."
Philosophers and philosophers. In fact, in a broad sense, they can be equated.
"In Utopia, I just wanted to look more academic, so I took this name. As you know, Rabelais is very fond of this... I heard that you seem to be following Rabelais now. ?”
Rabelais, a professor at Utopia College, firmly believed that truth is hidden in philosophy.
"Yes, Professor Rabelais has actually missed you very much." Onassis said.
Suya Tutai's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and he was silent for a moment: "I will go see him after I am promoted to an official wizard."
Onassis: "If you took this nickname just because you wanted to be more academic, then why don't you change it now?"
Suya Tutay: "Don't you think I'm still holding on to the wrong ideas I had in the past? I won't change it just because it's not necessary."
Onassis: "But, I don't think you have given up."
Suyatu smiled sarcastically and did not try to destroy Onassis's obsession.
At this time, the countdown to the start of the game on the light screen entered the last five seconds.
Onassis thought for a while: "Maybe you just don't see the way forward. I will try to show you the way forward today."
Suya Tutai: "Then I'll wait and see."
…
The moment the game started, Suya Tutai took the lead. He flicked his fingers, and the fish scale tattoo carved on his neck began to glow with a faint blue light.
As the blue pass flashed, a large amount of water elements condensed, turned into rolling waves, and rushed away.
Amidst the raging waves, everyone vaguely saw a picture of the lake, which was the ocean at night. It went from calm and calm to sudden winds, and then violent storms appeared at the same time. The ocean became undulating, and the terrifying raging waves continued to spread. Come. At the end of your sight, there is a solemn Poseidon holding a trident, overlooking the vast sea!
This is a marine-based trick, which seems to be a variant of some kind of Tide Wave Technique. It is more powerful and has a wider range, covering the entire arena.
It has reached the third level of peak magic!
When waves of waves wash over them, even bloodline apprentices may feel unsteady on their feet.
But when the tide washed over Onassis, he suddenly closed his eyes and muttered something. Onassis was in an erratic state for an instant, as if he was in the world, but also as if he was transcending the world.
It's a bit like the body of illusion, but it's not here. When the tide passes by him, even his clothes are not wet at all.
But everyone's naked eyes could clearly see that Onassis was clearly where he was, and he was there for real, and he definitely did not step into the realm of illusion to escape.
So how did he manage to avoid contact with water at all?
While everyone was still wondering about this issue, Onassis moved his lips again.
