Chapter 1601 Philosopher Vs. Philosopher
When the light screen above the arena began to display the names of both parties, the contestants finally entered the arena.
Suyatuta and Onassis walked to the front and back of the stage, immediately triggering a wave of cheers from the audience. However, the two people on the ring did not share their eyes with the audience, but looked at each other.
Angel once met Suya Tutai in the valley before entering the Purification Garden. At that time, Suya Tutai seemed to be an elegant scholar, and his temperament was very similar to Professor Anglo, the 'string picker' of White Coral Floating Island College. Similar, gentle and polite, with eyes shining with erudite wisdom.
Compared with her appearance at that time, Suya Tutai's appearance today has not changed much, but she is younger and more handsome. The aura around him was still as elegant as ever.
Suyatuta's opponent, the "philosopher" Onassis, is a dull boy who looks a bit like a nerd. When they stand together on the same stage, they are more like a teacher and student than an opponent.
"Is he the weird player you mentioned? It doesn't seem to be anything special. You can just see the energy fluctuations, but it's not as good as Charlie." Greya also looked at Onassis with an inquiring expression. : "Uto Academy is a gathering place for white wizards, and Onassis's temperament fits that of a typical academic."
When Greya said this, she glanced at Angel: "Judging from the appearance, he is more traditional academic than you."
Angel did not respond to Grea, but stared at Onassis quietly.
Onassis seemed to have caught Angel's gaze and turned his head to look over. When he saw Angel, he was stunned and immediately showed an extremely innocent smile.
Greya noticed this scene: "How do you feel, you know him?"
Angel was also a little enlightened at this time. He had previously speculated whether this "philosopher" could be the person he met before, but he didn't expect it to be true...
"We had a chance encounter."
Greya looked suspicious: "Why don't I feel like we just met each other? In the audience of tens of thousands of people, he was the only one who noticed you?"
Angel was actually a little confused. He didn't cover his gaze deliberately, but he also didn't use any mental power to assist his gaze. It was just an ordinary glance. The other party actually caught his gaze and even looked over immediately. This made Angel feel weird.
"It's true that we only met each other once." Angel briefly told the story of the last time he met this young man.
Once, he saw a young man reading a book seriously in the corridor of the Infinity War Tower. The main reason why they noticed him was that behind this young man was the backstage of the contestants, and Angel noticed the strong smell of blood in the backstage of the contestants.
Angel wondered if it was this young man who did it, and then he looked at him.
Angel remembered that the other party was reading a philosophy book called "Niederbergen's Lies".
This is a philosophical book that explores lies and truth. It is of no help to the strength of extraordinary beings. It is just an idealistic philosophical speculation, not like a book that young people would read.
It was precisely because of this detail that Angel remembered the boy.
Later, I heard that there was a contestant named "Philosopher", and the first thing Angel thought of was the boy who read "The Lies of Niederbergen". However, Onassis has never been seen, so Angel can only guess.
Today was the first time Angel saw Onassis, and it turned out that his guess was not wrong.
Onassis was that boy at that time.
After listening to Angel's story, Greya pondered for a moment and said: "A young man who likes to read philosophy books? It sounds more like a traditional academic. You know, philosophy is about speculation, and some academic wizards are obviously in He is unreasonable on some issues related to combat applications, but he can use this kind of philosophical rhetoric to forcefully explain unreasonable things as reasonable. "
"Anyway, they are just guys who want to save face."
Greya shook her head after she finished speaking. It was obvious that she was distracted by this complaint. She must have experienced a similar experience.
"Then what happened behind the scenes of the contestants, was he the one who did it?" Greya was a little curious. In Angel's words, Onassis seemed to be exactly the same as he was on the outside. He was just a dull boy, not someone who did these things.
"I don't know." Angel said. To him, this was just an insignificant laugh episode. It didn't matter whether he knew or not. Angel and Onassis just met each other and left without exploring.
…
While Angel was talking to Greya, a conversation was also going on in the ring.
"Who are you looking at?" The gentle and polite voice came from Suya Tutai.
After Onassis looked back at Angel, he suppressed the smile on his lips and said calmly: "I'm looking at someone just like you."
"Like me?" Suya Tutai didn't understand.
"In the philosophical debate at Utopia College five years ago, I was reading a book, and you were the only one who confirmed the book I was reading." Onassis paused: "The same goes for him, he also confirmed my reading book."
"Five years ago, it was such a distant time." A glimmer of light flashed in Suyatu Tai's eyes: "In other words, the days at Uto College are as if they were a world away from my current life."
Onassis looked at Suyatuta quietly and did not reply.
Suya Tutai was silent for a moment: "I remember that the book you read at that time was "Pink Elephant and Colorless Rain", right?"
Mentioning his favorite books, Onassis nodded solemnly.
"This is a philosophical book about necessity and non-necessity, existence and cognitive bias." Su Yatutai had obviously read this book and quickly extracted the key points of the book. Seeing Onassis's solemn look as if he had found the truth, he sneered and changed the subject: "Unfortunately, it's full of absurd fallacies."
Onassis' eyes suddenly widened.
"The pink elephant will not inexplicably break into your mind. You think it is an unignorable sense of existence, but in fact it is just your own thinking; the colorless rain is like air. You think you don't notice him, but that's just you, feeling, your body actually remembers his sense of existence."
"In other words, these books are just the authors' cocoons in their own idealistic world." Su Yatutai sneered coldly.
Onassis did not argue, but asked: "But you didn't say that at the time. You affirmed the book at the time."
Su Yatutai laughed: "That's because I think it doesn't matter what kind of books a nerd reads. It's better for you to read fairy tales."
Onassis looked at Su Yatutai and said calmly: "Although fairy tales are written for children, many stories in them also contain philosophy, so I will read them too."
"Since we have met before, I can wake you up. Those are all lies. Philosophy is fake." Su Yatutai's voice became slightly lower.
Onassis sighed lightly: "I always remember your nickname. When I gave myself a nickname, I even wanted to follow your footsteps... I thought you would understand me."
Philosophical scholars and philosophers. In fact, from a broad sense, they can be equated.
"At Utopia, I just wanted to make myself look more like an academic, so I took this name. You know, Rabelais likes this... I heard that you seem to follow Rabelais now?"
Rabelais is a professor at Utopia, who firmly believes that the truth is hidden in philosophy.
"Yes, Professor Rabelais has always missed you." Onassis said.
Su Yatutai's eyes flashed with a moment of absent-mindedness, and he was silent for a moment: "I will go to see him after I become a formal wizard."
Onassis: "If you took this nickname just to look more like an academic, why don't you change it now?"
Su Yatutai: "Don't you think I'm still holding on to the wrong ideas of the past? I don't change it just because it's unnecessary."
Onassis: "But I don't think you've given up."
Su Yatutai smiled sarcastically, and didn't try to crush Onassis's obsession.
At this time, the countdown to the start of the game on the light screen entered the last five seconds.
Onassis thought for a moment: "Perhaps, you just don't see the way forward. I will try to take you to see the way forward today."
Su Yatutai: "Then I'll wait and see."
...
At the moment the game started, Su Yatutai took the lead. He flicked his finger lightly, and the fish scale tattoo engraved on his neck began to emit a faint blue light.
As the blue light flashed, a large amount of water elements condensed and turned into a rolling raging wave, rushing away.
In the raging waves, everyone vaguely saw a lake surface, which was the ocean under the night sky. From calm and waveless to a sudden wind, followed by a storm and rainstorm, the ocean became turbulent, and the terrifying raging waves continued to spread. At the end of the sight, there was also a solemn sea god holding a trident, overlooking the vast sea!
This is a marine magic trick, which seems to be a variant of some kind of tidal wave magic, with more powerful power and a wider range, covering the entire ring.
It has reached the level of a third-level peak magic trick!
When waves came, even the apprentices of the bloodline would probably feel unsteady on their feet.
However, when the waves washed over Onassis, he suddenly closed his eyes and muttered something. Onassis was instantly in a state of erratic, as if he was in the world, but also as if he was out of the world.
It was a bit like an illusory body, not here. When the waves passed by him, even his clothes were not wet at all.
But everyone's naked eyes could clearly see that Onassis was clearly there, and he was real, and he definitely did not step into the illusory world to avoid it.
So how did he manage to avoid contact with water at all?
While everyone was still wondering about this question, Onassis moved his lips again.
