Chapter 165 Bye
Alice lowered her head to look at her wound. Fresh and tender skin had grown back there. It turned out that the magical green potion could also help the wound heal quickly.
As for the big white-bearded magic doctor who disappeared out of thin air, everyone just thought he was busy with something and didn't think too much about it.
The group of people walked out of the medical area, and the atmosphere on the road became less tense.
Everyone was talking and laughing. When Dolores's results were mentioned, the little pink-haired witch suddenly puffed up her cheeks and punched Alice on the shoulder a few times while pretending to be angry.
Although Willett didn't speak much, the look in his ice-blue eyes was much more energetic than before, and his tiredness washed away and became brighter.
Alice had been paying close attention to Willet since the attack. She looked at the girl here who looked like an ice and snow princess, and looked at the other person's watery eyes that became bright again, and she couldn't help but smile.
Stretching out her hand to hold the other person's hand, even though the touch felt like holding an ice cube, Alice's mood was still as clear and bright as the sky today.
Willet felt his left hand being held by a warm hand. Although he didn't like physical contact in the past, he didn't feel any discomfort.
Her talent and reputation keep her at a height that ordinary people cannot reach, and no one would reach out and hold her hand so naturally.
It wasn't until she met Alice, the little witch who always liked to call Brenda her best friend, that her situation changed.
In some ways, Alice changed her, and the change was not bad at least for Brenda.
Everyone left the magic doctor's treatment room. The sunlight filtered through the strips of magic windows and fell on the two purple-white leather chairs with armrests facing each other. Fine dust floated in the air, dancing gently and lonely.
...
The potion cabinet on the north side, which occupied almost the entire wall, suddenly made a faint sound, and quietly opened a cabinet door in the empty room.
A newspaper that looked old and yellowed was stuck crookedly on the inner wall of the cabinet door.
Perhaps because it was too old, the glue on the newspaper was no longer effective, so it fell off silently along with the newspaper.
The old newspaper swayed downwards like a swing in the air, and finally lay on the flat, soft magic carpet.
There is a picture printed on the black and white newspaper. In the picture, an old man is sitting on a leather chair in the potion treatment room. His white beard and smile make him look warm.
And kind.
The newspaper wrote in beautiful magical style:
"The famous curse remover Abner Green, together with all the curse removers in the magic world, mysteriously disappeared last night."
If Alice and the others see the picture in this newspaper, they will find that the white-bearded magic doctor just now has the same face as Abner Green in the black and white newspaper.
This is the headline article of Magic News Daily three hundred years ago.
"What the hell, who always likes to rummage through the cabinets in the potion room? Magic students nowadays are becoming more and more unruly!"
The young, red-bearded magic doctor, who seemed to have a somewhat irritable temper, bent down to pick up the old newspaper on the ground, still muttering unhappily to himself.
"It's an old newspaper, so I'd better keep it."
The red-bearded magic doctor looked at the portrait in the newspaper. The old man with the white beard in the photo also looked at him peacefully.
The magic doctor's red beard trembled, and the impatience in his heart suddenly disappeared. He unexpectedly calmed down, like boiling water turning into cold boiled water.
So, the old newspaper that fell on the ground was re-pasted on the inner door wall of the potion cabinet. Although the color has turned slightly yellow, the person in the photo is still smiling faintly as before...
.
After returning to the spectator seats in the arena, it was soon the turn of Dolores' group No. 39 to participate in the next round of competition.
After winning two games in a row by relying on the defensive power competition and the food intake competition, Dolores lost in the high jump competition in the third game, and their No. 39 group was eliminated.
But Dolores didn't particularly care.
After all, even though they failed to advance, they still have a chance to compete in the second elimination competition after the championship summoning team and become the best team among the eliminations.
As for Andrew, he was not so lucky in the summoning competition. The Quirk was too slow but was selected to participate in the racing competition. This was undoubtedly a very bad thing.
He was brushed off in the first round, but after Andrew sighed, he gathered his energy again, patted his chest and said loudly:
"What's so sad about this? I still have a chance!"
However, after waiting and waiting until noon, Alice could not wait for the news of the third game.
Willett went to the drawing area for the game, asked about the situation, and then returned to the spectator seat.
Alice and Yingyuan both turned to look at her, hoping to know if there was something wrong. Willett's answer made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.
"I have made it clear that our team was given a bye in the third game, so we will advance directly to the finals. The next game is tonight to participate in the summoned team battle."
After Brenda finished speaking, she sat back on the chair and took a sip of the coffee with a straw placed in the drink placement area on the armrest.
Alice's nose moved. Before she drank it, just by smelling it, she felt that the taste was really bitter.
"What is a bye? Don't we need to participate in all divisions once? Just enter the finals directly?"
After Alice breathed a sigh of relief, she felt something was wrong again. She pressed her chin curiously and raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Sometimes you are really stupid. You actually competed twice and didn't realize what the method of competition was. It's also very impressive."
Ying Yuan lay on the back of the chair behind Alice, resting her chin on her arm, staring at the playful golden hair on top of Alice's head, and said in a half-mocking tone.
"There are 300 people participating in the event, and there are 100 teams. In the first round, 50 groups will be promoted, in the second round, 25 groups will be promoted, and in the third round, 13 groups will be promoted, so one group will have a bye."
Willett explained in a low voice beside him.
Because she knew that Alice had never participated in any competition before, she was considerate of the other party and did not laugh at Alice's short-sightedness like Ying Yuan did.
"We are the group that got a bye. All the 13 groups that advanced have won three consecutive games, except for our special point, which is two wins and one draw."
Yingyuan took over Willet's words and explained to Alice.
"All groups that enter the finals will participate in the summoned team battle. Then, the two strongest groups will be selected to enter the finals to compete for the final championship team."
Willett nodded and completed everything Yingyuan didn't say later.
"I see, I understand. Thank you both for reminding me."
Alice has little competition experience.
Thanks to two teammates who knew a lot about this aspect, I didn’t participate in the following competitions in a daze.
"You're welcome. I'll have a fight with you after the game, but don't forget it!"
Yingyuan stretched out her hand to flick the golden hair on Alice's head, but the other party nimbly avoided it, pouted her lips, and reminded her angrily.
"I won't forget it, don't flick my hair!"
Alice lowered her head and said, Willett picked up a magic hat from his seat and put it on Alice's head.
"Huh, let's let you go for now!"
Yingyuan said angrily, and after snorting, she thought in her heart:
Chapter completed!
