"I lost."

Andrew said helplessly as he looked at his injured leg.

Although this small injury was nothing to him, he knew that Karl had already held back his power.

Even if he continued to fight, he would still lose.

"Karl, no one can compete with you for the position of team leader anymore. You will definitely be the team leader."

After experiencing Karl's power, Andrew said earnestly.

He did not just say it, he felt the same way in his heart.

Among the 20 over people, Karl was undoubtedly the strongest, and no one could compete with him.

Who else could but he could be the team leader?

After that, a few more battles passed.

The second round ended.

Gargado and Gwen exchanged a glance, and they both nodded slightly.

"Alright, the friendly match will end here. Teacher Gwen and I have discussed and we have already made our decision."

Everyone looked at Gargado.

"Let's start with the vice team leader, which will be Andrew."

Roy could not help but be stunned.

He looked shocked.

Seeing this, Karl could not help but smile. This guy had planned well yesterday, but the result disappointed him.

In fact.

After two rounds of competition, it was not impossible to tell much.

Many people had held back.

For example, Douglas.

For some reason, he did not seem to want to fight for the position of the team leader or vice team leader.

Otherwise, he would definitely become the vice team leader.

Of course, Karl didn't use his full strength either.

No one here would be able to withstand his full strength.

"You don't look convinced?"

Gargado looked at Roy after speaking. "Although you're a two-star mage, it's obvious that you haven't broken through for long and your rank hasn't stabilized yet."

"Moreover, Andrew is an advanced stage one-star mage. His rank is very stable. The difference between your ranks is not too big."

"However, Andrew's magic control is much stronger."

"Moreover, although your abilities are very powerful and can teleport like William, you don't know how to strengthen your body and combat training. If you fight Andrew, you will definitely lose."

Roy chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

Through this comment, one could tell Gargado had a sharp eye.

"As for the team leader, Karl will be in charge. Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads.

After witnessing Karl's ability, who would have any objections?

No one had any objections.

"Team Leader Karl, please take care of us in the future?"

After Gargado announced the result, Douglas walked over and smiled.

"That's right, Team Leader Karl. I'll be training with you from now on."

Tellista walked over and said.

He had become Douglas' lackey.

"Sure."

Karl looked at them and nodded without saying anything.

The two of them were not asking him to take care of them.

What was their real motive?

No one knew.

It might be a sarcastic remark or it might not mean anything.

But no matter what, as long as they did not provoke him, he would not do anything to them.

However, he would not go easy on these two people if they provoked him.

He was not someone to be trifled with.

"After two rounds of battle, I realized that there are many problems among you. Don't waste any more time and enter the first round of special training: Basic training."

Gargado looked at the students and said, "For the first lesson of basic training, I will take everyone to the Devil's Den."

"Devil… Devil's Den?"

Some students' expressions changed when they heard this term.

Not everyone had entered the Devil's Den like Karl.

To many of them, the Devil's Den was both unfamiliar and dangerous.

After all, entering the Devil's Den meant actual combat.

At that place, it would not be like having a friendly match with a classmate. The magical beasts would not hold back or stop when the match was decided.

Once they entered the Devil's Den and fought against the magical beasts, it would be a fight of life and death.

If the magical beasts did not die, they would die.

Magical beasts were not like their classmates who would hold back when attacking.

If there was an accident, getting injured was a small matter. If it was serious, they might die there.

Hence, for a considerable number of students, the Devil's Den was full of danger.

Gargado's gaze swept over the students.

She could understand their fear.

After all, most of them had never fought against magical beasts before.

They all lived peacefully until they were 18 years old, and then participated in the assessment ceremony not long ago.

Although they were now mages, they were still no different from ordinary people in certain aspects.

As for some powerful mages, when they heard about going to the Devil's Den for the first time, they felt scared and uneasy as well.

This was human nature.

"Next, we will stay in the Devil's Den for two days. After all, basic training is only effective in actual combat."

Gargado said slowly.

…

Devil's Den Tower.

Looking at the tower that was hundreds of meters tall, someone exclaimed, "Is this the entrance to the Devil's Den? It looks really grand and magnificent."

"I heard that this tower is the blood and sweat of several deans of the Magic Academy. It has stood here for more than a thousand years and has experienced the impact of countless magical beasts."

"Eh? There's a name here?"

Hearing the discussion of the crowd, Gargado said with a heavy expression, "On it, the total number of students and teachers from the Magic Academy who had sacrificed over the years is 38,765."

When she said this, some students were shocked.

The mortality rate was too high!

"All of you call this tower the Devil's Den Tower. To us, this is a tower of heroes. On it are the blood of countless heroes, bearing witness to their heroic battle against magical beasts."

Gwen said slowly.

Then, everyone entered the Devil's Den.

The dark passage made everyone uncomfortable.

After entering, Karl observed his surroundings and saw that there were many new traces on the surrounding buildings.

It was obvious that there had been another beast tide in the past few days!

Gargado led the group deep into the Devil's Den.

Then, she casually grabbed a Level Two Treacherous Fox and beat it until it couldn't move. Then, she threw it in front of the students.

"Students who have never entered the Devil's Den, come and try it out first."

Looking at the immobile magical beast, the fear on the faces of some students had already dissipated.

In its place was something new.

'So this is a magical beast?'
