Who taught him to restore his country like this?

An unhappy voice came from the room.

The two of them snorted coldly at the same time and walked into the room.

Ron followed Talulah.

In the room, besides Barton sitting at the mahogany table, there was a middle-aged man wearing the Grey Witches uniform.

"Talulah, what brings you here?" Barton asked, looking at Talulah.

"Teacher Barton, I would like to ask you to help me concoct a high-level potion," Talulah respectfully explained her purpose.

Upon hearing this, Barton subconsciously glanced at the middle-aged man from the Grey Witch House beside him, his face showing difficulty: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you."

"Why?" Talulah asked in surprise.

"Because Professor Barton is now my teacher at Grey Witch House."

Before Barton could speak, the blonde woman said with a smug expression.

“Professor Barton, you...you also went to the Grey Mage’s House?” Talulah looked at Barton in disbelief.

Patton remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Mr. Gatling, let's go!"

Talulah turned away angrily.

"Don't rush off yet."

The blonde woman swayed and blocked her way.

"Didn't you want Professor Barton to concoct potions for you? I can give you a chance."

Talulah wanted to refuse, but thinking of Ron's needs, she suppressed her anger: "What opportunity?"

“Have a duel with me. If you win, I’ll have Master Barton concoct a potion for you,” the blonde woman said slowly.

So what if we lose?

"You lost..." The blonde woman smiled, turning her gaze to Ron with a seemingly polite but actually meaningful smile. "How about you 'give' this Gatling gun teacher to me?"

She had heard that a sixth-tier archmage had arrived in the magic capital yesterday, but the arcane academy had beaten her to it.

The person in front of me must be that Gatling teacher.

Chapter 97 Arcane

Upon hearing that the blonde woman's target was Ron, Talulah immediately stepped in front of Ron like a wildcat protecting its food.

"What? Weren't you very confident in your strength? Now you're scared?" The blonde woman continued to provoke Talulah with her words.

"Let's have a competition! Who's afraid of who!"

Talulah reluctantly agreed, then, remembering something, turned to Ron and asked in a questioning tone, "Teacher Gatling, may I accept this match?"

Ron did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to Barton, who was sitting in the superior seat.

For him, the outcome didn't matter.

Anyway, he'll slip away in a couple of days.

The key is whether Patton agrees.

Barton then looked at the middle-aged man from the Grey Witches, and seeing the man nod slightly, he agreed, "Okay."

Both teachers had no objections, and the competition was thus decided.

The group moved to the training ground of the Secret Star Academy.

"start!"

No sooner had Barton finished speaking than Talulah launched her attack. She abruptly threw off her wizard's cloak, and with lightning speed, drew six silver rods, each as thick as a little finger, from her waist, shooting them toward the blonde woman.

The blonde woman remained calm and composed, gracefully drawing a few strokes in the air with her baton-like wand, which was about the length of her arm. Instantly, a dark green storm roared out, easily deflecting all the flying silver wands.

shhhhh--

Before the storm had subsided, dense wind blades shot out from it like a sudden downpour.

Talulah raised a defensive light shield with one hand, her figure as swift as the wind, rapidly moving around the blonde woman in the training ground.

After each distance, she would suddenly bend down and swiftly press her palm against the ground.

"They'll just run around like rats."

The blonde woman's eyes were full of contempt. Her wand drew complex trajectories in the air, and the dark green storm suddenly transformed into a ferocious giant eagle. The gale brought by the flapping of its wings swept up the gravel on the training ground.

The giant eagle's sharp beak swooped down towards Talulah.

boom--

The defensive light shield shattered, and Tallulah groaned as she was violently knocked several meters away by the violent impact, rolling to the ground in a mess.

The blonde woman, a cold smile playing on her lips, was about to press her advantage when several blazing fireballs suddenly and deliberately attacked from behind her.

She spun around and swung her staff, the wind blades precisely shattering the fireballs, but then several more fireballs roared in from different directions.

She quickly took to the air, her gaze sweeping over the source of the fireball. There, she saw six monsters engulfed in flames—molten lava golems—standing on the training field.

These are the strange creations of magic and witchcraft—elemental golems!

The molten golems charged into the storm's range, their size suddenly expanding several times its original size under the stimulation of the raging wind elements. They all raised their heads and unleashed several long, scorching fire dragons at the blonde woman in the air.

The blonde woman nimbly dodged, a smug, confident smile playing on her lips. She knew these six molten golems were Talulah's most prized trump card. Destroy them, and Talulah would be nothing more than fish on a chopping block.

The wand traced a perfect half-circle in the air, and the dark green hurricane core suddenly collapsed, instantly transforming into a high-speed rotating vortex of water blades. The powerful suction force violently pulled the three molten golems that had rushed into the storm into it.

The flames and water blades collided violently, bursting into blinding flashes of light.

Bang!Bang!

With two muffled thuds, the two molten golems completely disintegrated under the strangulation of the water blades, turning into flying fragments of lava.

The remaining three molten golems immediately changed tactics, forming a triangle around the blonde woman, spewing out fireballs continuously from their mouths, creating a dense net of fire.

On the other side, Talulah continued to move at high speed, her figure almost becoming a blur.

Bang!Bang!

Before long, two more molten golems were reduced to nothing by the swooping of the wind eagles and the strangulation of the water blades.

At that moment, a sharp glint flashed in Talulah's eyes as she ran a lap around the blonde woman.

"Now!" Talulah shouted, and suddenly, dark blue rune arrays lit up at the points where the ground had been touched, causing the training ground to tremble violently.

Boom—

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth!

A gigantic rock hand ripped the ground apart, and then a giant stone golem, over five meters tall, burst out of the ground amidst a cloud of dust and rubble.

Its massive fist, made of hard rock, unleashed a devastating punch with an overwhelming force, devoid of any fancy moves.

Click!

The water blade vortex maintained by the blonde woman was like fragile glass in the face of this absolute power, and was instantly shattered.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!" The blonde woman's face drained of color, and she retreated hastily in horror, creating distance between herself and the monster.

"Die!"

Talulah roared.

The giant stone golem swung its mountain-like fist once more, crashing down with a dull thud.

The blonde woman was in a sorry state and could only desperately dodge using the speed of wind magic.

The situation seemed to reverse in an instant. Talulah urged the giant stone golem to chase and smash the blonde woman like she was shooing away flies.

However, the giant stone golem's movements were ultimately clumsy, and it was always a step too slow against its opponent, who was as agile as the wind.

Why are you running?

Talulah was both anxious and angry.

If this continues, her energy and magic will surely be the first to run out.

'I can't lose!'

Talulah gritted her teeth and, at the cost of losing half a year of sight in her right eye, urged the remaining two molten golems to merge into the body of the giant stone golem.

boom--

Countless lava patterns instantly cracked open on the surface of the giant stone golem, the intense heat distorting the air. Its massive maw opened, and a torrent of scalding lava erupted like a volcanic eruption.

At the same time, two enormous rocky arms swept left and right, completely sealing off all the blonde woman's space to dodge.

With nowhere to escape, the blonde woman panicked, forgetting even to admit defeat. Driven by the instinct for survival, she mobilized all her magic power and, in a desperate gamble, unleashed her strongest wind-based attack spell, a massive, perfectly condensed wind blade slashing fiercely towards the core of the lava golem.

We won!

Despite the excruciating pain in her right eye and the dizziness from exhaustion, Talulah turned to look at Ron on the sidelines, grinned with a tired but excited smile, and gave him a thumbs up.

However, Ron's eyes narrowed slightly.

next second!

Rumble rumble rumble—

A terrifying roar, far exceeding any previous one, exploded in the training ground. The massive lava golem collapsed from the inside, and countless huge, burning rocks scattered like a meteor shower.

shhhhh--

Several sharp wind blades shot out from the collapsed rocks and dust, heading straight for Talulah, who was staggering due to the backlash of magic caused by the collapse of the puppet.

Talulah reacted extremely quickly, mustering her last bit of magic power to create a thin magical shield.

Bang bang bang!

The wind blades slammed into the shield, creating violent ripples. The shield teetered on the brink of collapse, but ultimately managed to withstand the attack.

"Hmph, is this your strongest trump card?"

The blonde woman rose slowly from the smoke and dust, looking somewhat disheveled. Although her breathing was a little disordered, her eyes regained their condescending contempt as she coldly looked down at the swaying Talulah.

"How is this possible!?"
