Chapter 268 Qualifiers
There are all kinds of people among the mages of Kamar-Taj, and this has never disappointed Leon.
"Then let them be. Who dares to call themselves a wizard without some unique features these days?"
Leon didn't care about this. "When the magic academy recruits students in the future, we can pull them out to promote the diversity of the academy."
Speaking of college, Lao Wang suddenly became excited.
"Enrollment? When will we start enrolling students?" Wang's anticipation almost jumped out of his eyes.
"There's no rush for recruiting students... Wang, have you lost weight?" Lyon looked at Wang carefully a few times, only to find that the fat mage had lost a lot of weight.
I guess I was too tired and lost weight.
Leon knew that the king had returned from Hogwarts.
I have always wanted to set up my own academy in Kamar-Taj.
And listen to other people talk about it.
Over the past two months, Wang has led the mages who previously did civil engineering work.
Work from day to night, and from night to day.
I just want to build the academy quickly, get his approval, and start operations as soon as possible.
Even the name was confirmed with him at the beginning——
It's called the Supreme Mage Academy.
There are plaques and stone carvings with the name of the college on the main buildings of both branches.
The gilded fonts change shape between various languages from time to time, giving a magical feeling like a magician.
In response to Leon's question, Wang rolled up his sleeves to show off his much stronger arms.
"I'm not thin, I'm stronger!" Wang put down his sleeves and asked hurriedly, "Why aren't you in a hurry to recruit students? If we don't recruit students, who will teach the academy?"
"Wang, think about it. Before we enroll students, we must first determine the enrollment method, the college system, the teachers, the courses, and the students' graduation destinations."
Leon issued the second-stage task to Wang: "So you have to write a plan for these first, then we can proceed to the next step."
"And don't forget, we have another big event before we open the academy."
"That's the battle with Asgard!"
Leon looked around the environment on the circular platform: "Old Wang, you did a good job on the competition arena for the preliminaries."
"But you do civil engineering work every day. Don't let it prevent you from participating in the final between us and Asgard."
The so-called qualifiers.
The purpose is to select the candidates who will participate in the "Battle between Kamar-Taj and Asgard".
And a competition was held inside the holy land.
It is now mid-December.
There are only nine days left until Christmas when the two sides are scheduled to fight.
Leon felt that this trip was actually just to bully the brothers Thor and Loki, so he didn't take it too seriously.
But great wizards such as Mordo and Hamil have been preparing seriously for several months.
They start in October.
He kept asking Leon which mages would be on the field in the end, and hinted whether he was on the list.
Other mages would come over from time to time to ask.
So Lyon simply held this qualifying match.
Registration for the competition opens one week before.
Jarvis will group the big data according to the individual strength levels of the registered mages.
All mages are divided into five groups.
The competition system is a knockout tournament with two rounds.
The first round is a free-for-all, in which each group will advance by defeating the five mages with the most people within the limited time.
The second round is a one-on-one battle.
The top 25 contestants who advance from the first round will have their opponents randomly selected.
Eventually, five players will be selected, along with two alternates.
As for the venue of the competition.
Of course, it is the circular platform where everyone is at this moment.
Moreover, it was Lao Wang who took the initiative to propose this platform and built it in a hurry.
That's why Lyon felt that Lao Wang spent all his time on construction, and it was good enough that his strength did not decline.
But Lao Wang was very confident: "I also practiced magic when I built the academy. I have mastered the control spell to perfection, and the petrification spell and the transfiguration spell have also improved a lot!"
"Are you planning to use Hogwarts magic as your main attack method?" Leon raised his eyebrows.
"It is indeed feasible. When it comes to humans, those magics are surprisingly effective."
"By the way, where's Banner? Why isn't he here? Isn't he planning on participating in the preliminaries?"
Tomorrow is the time for the qualifying round.
Now, on the circular platform, there are more than two hundred participating wizards who are either practicing magic or conducting practical training.
When Leon first arrived, even Tony was practicing with Mordo with a magic wand.
In the eyes of the wizards, Tony and Banner are actually "foreign aid" invited by Leon.
But Tony doesn't think so.
He wanted to prove that he was not just a foreign aid, but could also be considered a mage of Kamar-Taj.
So I plan to use only magic in the first round of tomorrow's game.
Banner basically had the same idea.
Both of them are very confident in themselves.
But they are still newcomers in magic after all.
Plus the time at Hogwarts.
I have only studied magic for less than a year.
So even Tony, who is so proud, felt a little nervous and came to do some extra training.
Not to mention Banner, a gentle and honest man, he should just live here and practice.
But Leon didn't see Banner.
Instead, he saw Betty Ross practicing the Disarming Spell in the crowd.
He was about to use his super vision to find Banner.
Mordo explained: "Master Banner went to reinforce his briefcase."
"Because he appears as a beastmaster, he has to carry magical animals with him."
"But his suitcase... you know, it showed signs of the stretching spell wearing off a while ago, so he needs to reinforce it urgently."
Leon stroked his chin, "So he really intends to fight as a beastmaster. He has already practiced soul magic very well, but he doesn't plan to use it."
Banner has been in Kamar-Taj for nearly four months and has become proficient in the magic of astral projection.
Although he still can't let that part of Hulk's soul leave his body.
But it can already affect Hulk, making him wake up quickly or fall asleep slowly.
This is equivalent to Banner having mastered the switch button for transforming into the Hulk.
It’s just that Leon heard it—he heard it.
Banner still can't do fun things with his girlfriend.
Because that kind of thing is still too exciting for Banner and the Hulk in his body.
In that situation where various hormones in the body surge rapidly.
Even if Banner used soul magic, he still couldn't calm the Hulk down.
The feeling of being close to Betty, but yet untouchable.
Banner has been madly studying soul magic during this period.
I wish I could slap Hulk's soul out the next day.
Mordo smiled knowingly after hearing this: "Perhaps Master Banner's soul magic is destined to be used only at the most critical moment."
"How about making a bet and guess when Banner will be able to control Hulk at that critical moment?" Tony suddenly came over.
This guy sometimes gossips like an old lady next door.
"Who knows? Betty will be waiting for him anyway. Why are you so anxious to help him?"
Leon glanced at Tony and said, "As for you, you should go home more often first. Pepper has complained to me that you always avoid her and don't go home, especially at night."
Tony's face suddenly turned awkward: "I was preparing for the battle. This is interplanetary diplomacy. It's normal to not go home for a few nights occasionally. I was building the armor in the laboratory!"
"Really? Pepper asked me to ask you if you are not doing well."
"Who's not okay?!" Tony was upset. "Tell her I'm just busy with work, not ill!"
"Go talk to her yourself. Also, the qualifiers in Kathmandu will start at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Remember to come back."
Leon opened a portal and sent Tony directly to Pepper's office.
Then he walked towards the other mages, pointing out the shortcomings of some of them in casting spells from time to time, helping everyone to improve before the game.
