《Breeding Dragons From Today》Chapter 61: Crushing Mages

The red-haired youth's fist landed on the guard's long sword.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out as the long sword broke. The young knight's lips curled up into a wanton smile as his fist was about to land on the guard's chest.
Bang!
The leader of the middle-aged knights used his hand to grab tightly onto the red-haired youth's fist as he frowned.
"Hawthorne, restrain yourself!"
The red-haired youth snorted coldly and struggled free of the middle-aged knight's hand.
"Don't forget, Tulip Academy of Magic and Harriet."
The middle-aged knight said seriously, "The terror of a saint-level powerhouse is not something you can imagine!"
"I will also be a saint-level knight in the future!"
Hawthorne laughed, revealing his white teeth. They looked very sharp, like a wolf.
"Then we'll talk about it after you become a saint-level knight."
The middle-aged knight felt a headache.
He was one of the three geniuses of Hawthorne City's current batch of students. He was only eighteen years old, but he was already a fifth-level knight. He was second only to Don Quixote in the academy.
However, his personality was very arrogant and arrogant. Many students called him "Crazy Hawthorne" in private.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought him along this time," the middle-aged knight thought.
The middle-aged knight picked up the broken longsword for the guard and revealed their identities.
The guard was still a little frightened. He nodded and quickly ran into the academy to report.
Five minutes later, a few magic instructors wearing black mage robes rushed over.
"Engel, are you leading the team again this year?"
"Yes, it's me again this year. Long-time no see, my friend."
The middle-aged knight strode forward and greeted the mage warmly.
If Joelson was here, he would definitely recognize him.

The magic tutor with eight golden stripes on his chest was Mr Tang Man, who managed the library.
"We must stay for a few more days this time. We haven't had a drink together for a long time."
Tang Man glanced at the knight students behind Engel with a hint of shock in his eyes.
Everyone's strength was above that of a tier 4 knight, and they were all no older than twenty years old.
When her gaze shifted to Don Quixote, who was the most dazzling, Tang Man's eyes trembled violently.
A sixth-tier knight?!
A genius who was even more monstrous than Joelson Edward!
The corners of Tang Man's mouth involuntarily curled into a bitter smile as she thought to himself, 'looks like Tulip Magic Academy is going to suffer another crushing defeat this time.'
"The exchange match will officially begin tomorrow. We have already arranged accommodations for everyone. You guys can also take a look around in the next few days."
Elsa, who had changed into a mage robe, was very dignified and beautiful. Tang Man handed over the task of receiving the guests to her and then led Engel, the leader of the Knights, to meet Harriet Terrence.
The arrival of the knights from the Knight Academy aroused the strong curiosity of the students from the Tulip Magic Academy.
The students from the lower grades found it very interesting. A group of knights suddenly appeared in the academy that was full of mages. Moreover, they were of the same age as them.
The students of the higher grades, on the other hand, all had grim expressions on their faces. They looked at the students of the Knight Academy with wariness and unfriendliness in their eyes.
The annual exchange competition was about to begin again, the day of shame for the Tulip Academy.

This news soon spread throughout the entire academy. Most of the students and instructors walked out and surrounded this group of "guests" from neighboring countries by the roadside.
The knights continued to talk with a calm expression as if they did not care about their onlookers at all. On the contrary, they enjoyed this kind of treatment.
"They don't seem to welcome us?" Someone asked.
"Of course, no one likes to be beaten up!"
"Hahaha!"
A burst of wanton laughter was heard.
Elsa, who was walking at the front of the team, frowned. She turned around and said coldly, "Didn't the ten commandments of knights teach you to be humble?"
The knights were silent for a few seconds before a frivolous voice suddenly sounded.
"Teacher Elsa, you look so beautiful when you are angry. Can I ask you out tonight?"
As soon as these words were said, a burst of laughter immediately rang out.
It was accompanied by boos and whistles.
"Eddie Taylor, you are really bold."
"Teacher Elsa is mine. Eddie Taylor, draw your sword! I want to fight you!"
"Hahaha!"
The students of the Tulip Magic Academy naturally heard these words, and their expressions were extremely unsightly.
The faces of the lower grade students were filled with anger, and they directly wanted to charge forward.
Although Miss Elsa was strict, she was very gentle and patient towards the students. In addition to her beautiful appearance, she was the goddess in the hearts of many students.
Elsa was so angry that her face turned ugly. She quickly chanted a spell and summoned a level-5 magic anaconda. Then, she pounced on the knight named Eddie Taylor.
"Not good!" Eddie Taylor shouted in a low voice. His face revealed a trace of fear.
He hurriedly retreated, but the anaconda was too fast. He was too late. He was about to be hit by the anaconda.
At that moment, a bright white light flashed.
The anaconda was cut into two halves, turning into countless mist and disappearing into the air.
The red-haired Hawthorne held his longsword to block Eddie Taylor's attack. He raised his chin at Elsa, revealing a provocative smile.
A hint of anger flashed across Elsa's face.
"Get on the dueling platform!"
Someone shouted.
Immediately, everyone shouted as well.
"Right! Teacher Elsa, teach these hooligans from the Knight Academy a good lesson!"
"Rude knights. They only have brute force, but they don't even know how to follow basic etiquette."
"They still dare to provoke our teacher in our territory!"
Elsa controlled her emotions and took a deep breath to calm down.
As a teacher of the academy, she shouldn't be angry with the students.
Moreover, the other party was a "guest".
Elsa wanted to turn around and continue leading them, but a voice sounded behind her.
"What? Are you afraid?"
Elsa stopped moving.
The students of the Tulip Academy became even louder.
"That's too evil!"
"I think I should go up and beat him up! Unfortunately, I'm only a rank one mage!"
"Teacher Elsa, don't let him go!"
Elsa slowly turned around; her face very cold.
"What did you say?"
Hawthorne was not afraid at all. He deliberately looked at Elsa up and down, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't bully women."
Elsa's hands suddenly clenched tightly, trying hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
Just as she was about to speak, a figure wearing a red mage robe walked out from the crowd.
"I'm here to teach you a lesson on behalf of Teacher Elsa!"
His face was calm, and he stood tall and straight.
It was Francis.
