Although there were many participants in this competition, the Sky Arena was built in a demiplane, so it was naturally prepared for this. Soon, the participants were divided into groups and sent to different competition venues. In front of the Chiefs, including Fangzheng, appeared a magical projection. Not only could they see the projection, but it could also be projected to any city in the Country of Magi.
In fact, the city square of the Country of Magic was also crowded with people, giving people the feeling that they were watching the World Cup qualifiers.
Perhaps the ordinary audience was concerned about their children or family members, but for the eight Chiefs, their focus was very simple.
"Are these the magical young ladies that kid was talking about?"
The Illusionist Head Seat touched his carefully groomed mustache and stared curiously at the magical projection in front of him. In one of the arenas, Ilya, who was wearing a pink Sorceress Battle Suit, was holding her staff as she looked around anxiously. She was shivering like a little mouse surrounded by a group of cats.
"She doesn't look like much."
"You wouldn't say that if you saw her abilities."
The Evocation Head Seat touched his smooth head and looked at the projection in front of him.
"These little girls might look timid on normal days, but when it comes to real battles, they are all good and outstanding warriors."
"But the White Tower doesn't need warriors."
The Enchantment Head Seat put down his gold-rimmed glasses and shook his head.
"I want to see what these magical young ladies are capable of."
The Enchantment Head Seat seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and looked respectfully at the Necromancer Head Seat beside him.
"Your Excellency Colette, you have been in the Tendo Temple all this time. What do you think of these magical young ladies?"
"I don't care, and I don't know."
Colette shook her head. She was telling the truth. Although she had been in the Tendo Temple for a long time, she had almost never left the laboratory. Therefore, although she had only heard about the magical young ladies, she hadn't seen them with her own eyes.
"Alright, why are you talking so much nonsense? You're a man and you're acting like a woman."
The chief prophet had his arms crossed over his chest, and his fourteen-pack was clearly visible on his mage robe.
"Won't you know once you see it? I have enough confidence in that kid. There will definitely be no problem! Just wait and see. "
"I hope so."
The First Seat of the Curse Department coughed lightly, and a cunning glint flashed across his murky eyes.
"We also hope there won't be any problems. After all … His Excellency isn't just trying to convince the few of us."
Just as the Head of the Conjurer Department had said, this time, the magical girls were not only trying to convince them, but also the other Mages of the White Tower. After all, the establishment of a new faction in the White Tower could not be kept a secret. In fact, all the mages participating in the tournament already knew about it.
Most of them had similar questions in their minds: 'What exactly is this Sorceress? How can she be on par with the Eight Great Factions?' This was normal. After all, the Eight Great Factions of the White Tower had existed for hundreds or even thousands of years. But Sorceress had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was now on par with the Eight Great Factions ….
The mages of the Eight Great Factions would definitely feel dissatisfied.
This was also another reason why the Head of the Council hoped that Fangzheng and the others would participate in the tournament. As long as these mages could experience the power of the Sorceress for themselves, they would not have any objections.
It would also be much easier for them to accept it.
Because of this, the young sorceresses received the most attention in every arena.
"Ugh …. Why do I feel so nervous …."
Gripping her staff tightly, Ilya could not help but curl up her body. She could clearly feel the gazes directed at her from all directions. Some of them were curious, some were disdainful, some were mocking, some were doubtful, and some were angry and dissatisfied. Ilya was not very good at facing these kinds of gazes.
"Hmph, a bunch of losers."
Contrary to Ilya, Blackie was calm when faced with the gazes of the other mages. She even had the leisure to twirl the scimitar in her hand.
They're just a bunch of mages. I'll show them what I'm made of!
Apart from Ilya and Blackie, the other mages had different reactions. Sakura was a little nervous, while Naiya's expression was solemn. On the other side, Fei Fei and Xiao Meiyan were silent and didn't utter a single word.
"Ding —!"
At that moment, with the crisp ring of the bell, the tournament officially began.
Almost in an instant, dozens of mages immediately aimed their attacks at the Sorceress in the field. In an instant, spells like fireballs, magic missiles, and 'Stink Cloud' were hurled towards the Sorceress.
Due to the tournament's requirements, there would not be any destructive spells like 'Death Cloud' or 'Finger of Death'. Moreover, the mages who participated in the tournament were at most Fifth Circle. After all, once they reached the Sixth Circle, they would be able to take up the position of a teacher in the White Tower. It would be too embarrassing for them to participate in a tournament between students.
For a moment, the field was in chaos.
However, the teachers and the Head of the Council did not show any signs of panic. Instead, they looked at the field with interest. Such a chaotic scene was a big taboo for mages. Even if you were prepared and cast a defensive spell on yourself, there was no guarantee that someone would sneakily cast a dispel spell on you.
Therefore, how to protect yourself and defeat the enemy in such a chaotic situation was something that mages needed to learn.
Under such circumstances, many mages came up with ways to deal with the situation. Some summoned their summoned creatures to act as meat shields, some chose to teleport away from the chaotic battlefield, some cast a 'Luck Spell' on themselves and looked at their faces, while some simply fought back.
Of course, most of the mages were still very stable. They first cast a defensive spell on themselves, and then they would deal with the situation.
In the face of this chaotic battle, the magical girls' reactions were also different.
"Wahhh!!"
Perhaps it was because of her cowardly performance at the start of the tournament, Ilya immediately attracted a large wave of firepower. This also gave her a fright. She hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled out a card from under her skirt.
"Rider, Dream Summon …!"
"Boom boom boom!!"
However, before she could finish her sentence, her petite body was instantly enveloped by magic missiles, fireballs, acid, and other explosives.
Was she going to fall just like that?
Looking at the smoke-filled arena in front of them, a few mages revealed a smile on their faces.
Looks like the Sorceress wasn't that great after all.
However, before the smiles on their faces disappeared, a strange voice suddenly rang out.
"Moo —!"
Accompanied by a low howl, a series of lightning suddenly erupted from within the smoke, directly dispersing it. Then, the mages were shocked to see the little girl driving a cart pulled by two oxen out of the smoke. Not only that, Ilya's current clothes were different from the previous pink Sorceress outfit. She was wearing a bright red cloak, holding a short sword in one hand and the reins of the oxen cart in the other.
Although she looked a little ragged, it was obvious that the little girl didn't suffer any serious injuries from the previous attacks.
But …
"Ugh … I'm going to be angry!"
Ilya, who had just been beaten up, puffed up her cheeks and raised the short sword in her hand. The next moment, the mages saw a ray of light explode from Ilya's body and quickly enveloped them.
Many mages instinctively closed their eyes in the face of this sudden bright light. However, when they opened their eyes again, the scene in front of them gave them a huge shock!
What appeared in front of them was no longer the arena from before, but a vast and boundless desert!
Not only that, in this desert, in front of them was an army of thousands of people!
"What's this?"
Seeing this, the chief conjurer widened his eyes. The enchantment chief also rubbed his gold-rimmed glasses playfully.
"This looks like some kind of sealed space. How interesting … looks like the little girl used some kind of sealed space to pull these mages in, and those are her … summoned creatures? This kind of summoning method is quite rare. "
"Indeed."
The chief conjurer nodded. Then, he widened his eyes and carefully stared at the scene before him.
"Looks like there's going to be a good show this time."
"Attack!!!"
While the chief conjurers were enjoying the show, Ilya suddenly swung her short sword forward. Then, countless soldiers roared and charged at the mages.
"This …"
Looking at this scene, the mages were dumbfounded.
Previously, they felt that it wasn't a good idea to bully someone with numbers, but now …
Which side had more people?!
What the hell was the point of fighting now? Let's hope we can get out of here alive first!!
"Defend!"
"Fireball! Fireball!"
"Fire Wall …!!"
"Quick, think of a way to break through this space!"
"Is there no way to counter it with summoning?"
For the mages, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation. Although Ilya only summoned ordinary servants, the endless number of them was enough to scare the mages!
They tried their best to resist, but unfortunately, in the face of the boundless might of the King's army, the resistance of the dozens of mages only lasted for a moment before they were completely drowned and disappeared without a trace.
