Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Hearing the words Xie Xinyue, Liu Yang and Liu Xia had different reactions. Liu Yang was curious to know what kind of subject Xie Xinyue wanted to talk to him, while Liu Xia seemed to be more certain about his assumption after hearing Xie Xinyue's words.

The conversation that Liu Xia had with Xie Xinyue before seemed to be a small dispute between the girls.

Liu Yang sat in the vacant chair between the two girls, he looked like a king surrounded by two beautiful beauties. The other young men were a little jealous and envious of this situation, as Liu Yang already had one beauty by his side, but now, he had another.

"Miss Xie, what kind of subjects do you have to discuss with me?" Liu Yang turned and looked at Xie Xinyue.

"Can we talk after the first round of fights is over?" Xie Xinyue did not answer Liu Yang's question and asked another question.

Liu Yang turned and looked at Liu Xia, and saw that she didn't care and lay on his shoulders.

"Okay" Liu Yang replied embarrassingly, that was a little strange because it looks like he had to have Liu Xia's permission to talk to Xie Xinyue.

Liu Yang no longer paid attention to Xie Xinyue and started wiping the hair off Liu Xia's face, he was brushing it off with his fingers. Xie Xinyue was not offended by Liu Yang's action, as the two were not considered to be known.

…

"Next fight will be between number 5, Shi Bao of the Western School, and number 6, Zhao Yan of the Northern School. You can enter the arena "Shi Wu announced the next fight, the two young men went up to the arena, they were already prepared for the fight.

Shi Bao was a thin young man with short hair, but his eyes looked dead and lifeless. While Zhao Yan was more energetic but thin.

"Begin"

Shi Bao took out an old wooden stick, the wood was dark brown, but it was already old and withered, a skull was carved out of the wood and in the eye sockets there were two purple gems. The stick had a creepy aura. Shi Bao was the first student to use magic attack equipment, in previous fights, the contestants only used magical defense equipment. Some particles of black light appeared around the staff.

Zhao Yan could only raise his hands with a dejected face, he knew they had no chance against Shi Bao's curse element.

"I surrender" These words surprised everyone at the scene, but after looking at Shi Bao, many understood the reason for the surrender.

"Student Shi Bao from West School wins this fight. Last fight of the first round, number 7, Liu Xia of the Eastern School, against number 8, Xie Xinyue of the Central School. "

Liu Xia and Xie Xinyue got up and walked towards the arena, but before that, Liu Xia asked for a good luck kiss from Liu Yang, he kissed her forehead before getting up.

Arriving at the arena, the two girls were looking at each other solemnly, they seemed to be having a hidden battle.

"You can start" By the time Shi Wu announced the start of the fight, the two girls had already made their moves.

Liu Xia waved her hand and three types of lights appeared around him, black, blue and brown. The lights began to merge before turning into a spear made of three elements, the sharp point was made of stone, the staff was made of water, and darkness completely covered the spear. The spear was two meters long and the thickness of a normal spear.

"Go" Liu Xia waved her hand again and the spear fired at high speed.

Xie Xinyue was impressed with the speed that Liu Xia managed to create the spear, but that was only momentary, Xie Xinyue activated her powers as well.

In her right hand, there was a white flame, the sensation that the flame gave was a penetrating cold. In her left hand, reddish colored water appeared, but the sensation was of infernal heat. The two elements were extremely opposite, the flame was cold and the water was hot.

"Mutation!!! This girl has two mutated elements !! "A student who did not know Xie Xinyue commented, he felt a little envious and jealous after seeing her using both elements. One mutated element was already rare, having two mutated elements was even rarer.

"It looks like she mastered the mutated elements" A young man who knew her commented.

"Interesting, two elements with mutations and opposite effects"

…

The students began to comment on the two elements of Xie Xinyue, some of whom knew her while others did not.

The flame and water merged and formed a protective shield for Xie Xinyue, the stone spear and water was melted when the two sides clashed.

"Interesting ..." Liu Xia commented, her first attack was just a test, she didn't put much magic power in creating the spear and was just testing Xie Xinyue.

"Like you, I'm also a control mage, but I'm still not on the same level as you." In terms of control, she couldn't be compared to Liu Xia, but because of the higher cultivation, she had more advantages.

"Do you think I have no chance of defeating you?" Liu Xia asked, after the test, the two girls did not attack again, they seemed to be having a small friendly conversation.

"Yes, you don't stand a chance, at least against me. If you fight against another advanced mage, I think you would have a chance "Xie Xinyue commented, she was not being arrogant. She spoke those words after comparing herself with Liu Xia. Of course, Xie Xinyue thought a little in her favor.

"I see ... It seems that I will also have to show that I am better than you in this regard" Liu Xia said, the students around did not understand what those words meant. But it was different for Xie Xinyue, she understood the meaning of Liu Xia's words. For her, it was like a declaration of war.

Liu Xia understood that the Xie Xinyue's fiance was mentioning was Liu Yang, she remembered some things that the couple Liu had said to her some time ago. Liu Xia had forgotten about it, after hearing Xie Xinyue's words, she remembered those words.

What led Liu Xia to confirm this was the way Xie Xinyue spoke to her, as she looked like a wife talking to her man's lover. This was all on Liu Xia's mind, she didn't know if this was true or not, but as a woman felt threatened, she started to imagine things. Liu Xia didn't confirm if Xie Xinyue was Liu Yang's fiancee yet, but just the brief thought of it left her a little helpless.

Even though Liu Xia didn't confirm anything, she still had to act in front of Xie Xinyue. As an Liu Yang's first wife, Liu Xia would not show weakness in front of Liu Yang's other fianceé, even though the two had been engaged before.

"I see… It looks like you outperformed me on other issues too. As you are first in almost everything, I will have to strive to get the first place in this at least "Xie Xinyue made it seem that in other ways, Liu Xia was also better than her.

The others could not understand the meaning of the two girls' conversation, only the two knew what they were talking about.

"It seems that my thoughts have come true" Xie Xinyue's words served as confirmation of Liu Xia.

"You still can't figure things out?"

"I had my doubts, but with your words, I was able to confirm that you are a difficult opponent"

"We can talk about this later, we can fight first"

"There is no need for that, I accept my defeat. You can take this merit as a gift from me to you "Liu Xia spoke in a winning way, for her, this fight was not important. The important thing was that she showed superiority over Xie Xinyue, even if it is not about cultivation.

Liu Xia managed to show Xie Xinyue that she was second in all other questions about Liu Yang. Although Xie Xinyue is Liu Yang's first fianceé, she hasn't done anything with him yet, and the two were not even known. In contrast, Liu Xia, who was the second fianceé, has already done everything a wife would do to her husband.

For Liu Xia, this was a big victory, this victory was much bigger than winning the fight in the arena. Because she did everything Xie Xinyue didn't do to Liu Yang, at least she hasn't done it yet.

"Student Xie Xinyue from Central School wins the fight. You will have ten minutes to rest before the next round. "Shi Wu was surprised to hear Liu Xia's surrender, she was one of the competition's most outstanding candidates and it was a pity to see her give up that way.

As the first round ended, students who advanced to the next phase began to meditate to regain their energy.

Liu Xia and Xie Xinyue returned to their seats next to Liu Yang, a girl on each side.

"Miss Xie, can we continue with the previous topic?" Liu Yang asked curiously, he wanted to know what she had to talk to him about. His parents didn't tell him about having a ficanceé, they just told Liu Xia.

"Read this, this was given to me by Uncle Liu and Aunt Xing" Xie Xinyue was referring to Liu Yang's parents.

"My parents?" Liu Yang was surprised to hear those words. While Liu Xia just sighed.

"Yes, this is a letter from my parents and your parents. You should read this "

"Can I open it?"

"Yes," Liu Yang opened the letter and saw two papers inside, at the end of each paper, had two signatures, Liu Yang's parents and Xie Xinyue's parents signed.

Liu Yang slowly started to read the letter, the more he read it, the stranger he felt. Until in the end, he could only look at Xie Xinyue with strange looks before turning to Liu Xia, and seeing that she was looking at him with an indifferent look. It seemed that Liu Xia already knew that.

"Honey, did you already know that?" Liu Yang asked just to confirm.

"Yes, I remembered some things that auntie said a few years ago. If it weren't for her words, I wouldn't have remembered "

"I see ..." Liu Yang didn't know what to do at the moment. He was a little lost at the moment.
