Encounter (below)

　　Merlin turned his ears sideways and listened carefully to the movements in the room. Because he insisted on practicing the movements on that mysterious relief, so Merlin's whole body acuity was drastically increased, and he could hear any slightest rattling in the room.

　　"How come there's no movement?"

　　Merlin frowned, he had just heard a subtle footsteps that seemed to have reached the door, but suddenly there was no movement.

　　"Boom."

　　A loud sound, this wooden door next to Merlin, suddenly was broken by a punch, broken wood chips splashed in all directions, followed by a hand quickly from the hole in the wooden door, a little white light flashed.

　　"Phew."

　　It was a sharp dagger that stabbed directly at Merlin.

　　"Busted!"

　　Merlin immediately woke up to the fact that his whereabouts had been discovered.

　　The speed of the dagger is very fast, Merlin are too late to block, only to roll on the ground, very wretched to avoid the blow.

　　"Grass."

　　Merlin's heart is also on fire, could not help but burst a foul mouth, he did not even see what the other side is like, almost killed, or he was too careless.

　　After a foul mouth, Merlin did not sit back and wait for death, but his body fiercely bowed, just like a fierce cheetah, with a strong explosive force, the whole person ruthlessly rushed toward the wooden door.

　　"Ka-ching."

　　The wooden door was completely shattered this time, and Merlin felt himself crash into a soft body, knocking the other party directly into the wooden house.

　　The cabin is very dark, the curtains are nailed shut, I think the city defense group sent to nail the whole cabin is almost closed, and because there is no ventilation for a long time, the house has a very bad smell of moldy.

　　After 　　Merlin knocked the other party off the ground, he immediately jumped up from the ground, stared at the other party warily, and asked in a deep voice: "Who the hell are you?"

　　The mysterious person in front of him, wearing a black robe, the wide robe will cover the body, can not see the specific size, while the head is wearing a huge black cloak, the same can not see the face.

　　In the face of Merlin's question, the black-robed mystery man did not speak, but raised the dagger in his hand again, and his broad black robe actually gradually swayed, as if there was a gust of breeze around the mystery man.

　　"Hmm? Wind element? Elemental swordsman?"

　　Merlin has been very sensitive to the elements, the other side of the wind element fluctuations are very strong, completely surrounded by the other side, the other side is an elemental swordsman, and from the fluctuations of the wind element on the other side to speculate, should also be just a level of elemental swordsman.

　　"Whoosh."

　　The black-robed mystery man's body flashed, the speed is fast to the extreme, in the dim wooden house, even if Merlin's senses are very sharp, but also can not capture the black-robed mystery man's figure, the other party's speed, is too fast.

　　Merlin can only move, in response to changes, once he senses any movement around him, he will not think twice about a fist blast, but each punch seems to hit the empty space, so Merlin has a kind of power nowhere to use, very difficult feeling.

　　"Giggle."

　　Suddenly, Merlin felt a cold neck, a feeling of extreme danger appeared, he hurried to the neck gently deflected, sharp dagger directly cut Merlin's neck.

　　The good thing is that Merlin dodged in time, and his body has also become very tough because of the cultivation of the mysterious relief, so this blow, only cut the epidermis only.

　　But it made Merlin break out in a cold sweat, just a little bit, his neck was cut.

　　"Damn, it's too fast."

　　Merlin whispered curses, the other party is the gale swordsman, the most skilled in speed, its divine figure, is too fast, Merlin even capture the other party's figure is difficult, let alone hit on the other party.

　　The room is too dim, and fighting with a gale swordsman in such an environment will definitely put you at a disadvantage.

　　Thinking of this, Merlin turned around with a jerk and ran frantically outside.

　　"Hoo-hoo."

　　But the mystery man seemed to be faster and grabbed Merlin's front, the dagger in his hand stabbed at Merlin's chest again.

　　"Gotcha, go to hell!"

　　A smile appeared between the corners of Merlin's mouth, by the bright light of the doorway, he clearly saw a dark shadow in front of him, this is when he struck.

　　"Fireball spell!"

　　A ball of fire appeared out of nowhere, and then even more whistling, directly towards the mystery man, whistling and the fire ball emitted a feared temperature, in the dim house is very conspicuous.

　　The speed of the fireball is very fast, but the other side seems to have been slightly stunned by the sudden appearance of the fireball, and only had time to turn sideways, the fireball directly into the other side of the black cloak.

　　The fireball spell was extremely hot, and with almost no hindrance, it directly burned half of the opponent's black cloak off, revealing a beautiful long blonde hair.

　　The room is very dark, Merlin although can not see the other party's face expression, but he can guess at this point a two, must be very shocked.

　　While the other party is still in a daze, Merlin's body directly forward a scurry, large hands like a bushel, grabbed the other party's robe, fiercely to the ground a drop.

　　"Bang."

　　How powerful is Merlin's strength? This smash, directly hit the other side of the seven, but the mystery man is worthy of the elemental swordsman, physical quality is also very good, still have the strength to lift the hand to give to Merlin neck stab.

　　"Hmph!"

　　Merlin grunted coldly and grabbed the opponent's hand with his left hand, then grabbed the mystery man's hair with his right hand and without the slightest hesitation, ruthlessly slammed into the wall.

　　"Bang Bang Bang".

　　After hitting three times in a row and seeing that the mystery man did not struggle anymore and fell softly to the ground, Merlin stopped.

　　Merlin breathed heavily, this was the first time he faced such a dangerous opponent, and it was a fight to the death. Despite the fact that Merlin was a powerful mage in terms of strength, and could easily defeat any level one or two elemental swordsman, he was still close to dying at the hands of his opponent just now.

　　If you can not apply the spells to the actual battle, even if you have mastered the most powerful spells, it does not help.

　　When the old man Aita, also only mastered two zero-level spells, and Merlin, is the entry-level caster, in the level of the caster, the entry-level can be called uninspired, and even not really a caster, only to master three zero-level spells, and will replace all three zero-level spells into a first-class spells, in order to become a first-class caster.

　　Even if Old Man Etta is only an entry-level spell caster, but when he first dealt with the guardian swordsmen coming from Gran City, it was easy. Even a second-level elemental swordsman like the Borg swordsman was far from Old Man Etta's opponent, which proves that spell casters are far more powerful than elemental swordsmen.

　　Today, however, Merlin was almost killed by a level one elemental swordsman, indicating that his combat experience is still seriously lacking, and he didn't even have a chance to cast a spell at first, which is a very fatal drawback as a spell caster.

　　Merlin touched his neck with his hand, his hand was covered with sticky blood, but only the surface of the skin was cut through a gash, and the bleeding has stopped, and there is no serious injury.

　　This is a great lesson!

　　"If I start out and just release a fireball spell and blast the door open, even if he's fast, he won't be able to hurt me."

　　Merlin was summing up his shortcomings during the fight just now, he was still a bit unaccustomed to the identity of the caster and the habit of striking, the caster should solve the opponent with spells from a distance, not close and an elemental swordsman physical combat.

　　The black man next to him still lying on the ground, was grabbed by Merlin hit his head hard several times, want to wake up will have to wait a little longer, so Merlin stood up, came to the side of the black man, reached out a hand to uncover the black cloak on the head of the black man only half left.

　　After fighting with the man in black for so long, Merlin hadn't gotten a good look at his opponent.

　　The black cloak was lifted, revealing a head of partially burned blond hair, which also gave off a burnt smell.

　　"It's a shame about such beautiful hair."

　　Merlin shook his head slightly, praising the beautiful long hair, only a pity that such beautiful long hair, was Merlin just released a small fireball, directly burned off part of the original golden yellow long hair, but also become some black paste up, especially odd.

　　The man in black was lying on his side on the ground, his hair covered the appearance, Merlin gently ruffled the hair on his face, to see the appearance of the man in black.

　　"Hmm?"

　　Merlin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

　　"Kia?"

　　The man in black who was lying on the ground was actually Kia, who teaches history classes.

　　Merlin remembered that at the time, even the little fat Gut, using the power of the family, did not find the exact identity of Jiya, did not expect to meet Jiya here now.

　　And just now Kia's performance is more than just an ordinary teacher that simple.

　　Just as Merlin was speculating about what Kia and old man Etta had to do with each other, a soft hum came out of Kia's nose and she was about to wake up.

　　Merlin stood up and took a step back, his eyes locked on Kia.

　　After a while, Merlin's ears heard Jiya's breathing a little sharply, so he smiled lightly: "No need to pretend, why not open your eyes when you're already awake?"

　　Hearing Merlin's words, Kia on the ground really opened her eyes and looked at Merlin with a very calm expression and said, "Wilson Merlin? I didn't expect that Mr. Aita, actually accepted you as a real disciple."

　　Kia was about to struggle to get up, but Merlin raised his hand, then a ball of fire appeared out of thin air and crashed directly into the floor next to Kia.

　　"Boom."

　　The fireball hit the floor and exploded directly, blowing a big hole in the wooden floor, which was still smoldering with black smoke from the burns.

　　"Don't play tricks or this fireball will explode on you next time."

　　Merlin directly warned Kia with his actions, he has gone through a month of hard practice spiritual meditation techniques, spiritual power has been some improvement, and more importantly, his control of the fireball technique is also more exquisite, there will no longer be unable to control the fireball situation.
