"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first match of the semi-finals of the Heaven's Cup competition."
As the match was about to begin, the mage in charge of hosting the event became excited.
"The first one to take the stage is Crowley von Erzbelen, representing the new magical girl faction!"
Along with the host's introduction, Little Black somersaulted onto the stage. Shortly after, a tsunami of cheers and applause sounded from all directions. It was apparent that Little Black liked this a lot. She was a crazy person to begin with and now, she hopped around the stage and waved at the audience in high spirits.
As the competition progressed, the few magical girls that Fangzheng brought along were rather popular in the White Tower. After all, these magical girls were only teenagers. They were innocent, lively, and adorable. As long as they weren't extremely awkward mages, the mages would more or less like them.
In fact, the few magical girls now had their own supporters in the White Tower Council. Fangzheng had asked around since he had nothing to do. Among the five magical girls, other than Xiao Meiyan, who didn't leave an impression on many Venerables due to her initial elimination, the other girls had their own fan clubs.
One had to know that most of the mages in the White Tower were older. On the other hand, Illya, Sakura, and Naia were only 11 or 12 years old. That was why the mages treated them as younger sisters, daughters, or granddaughters. It could be said that the mages doted on them.
Moreover, the young ladies were also obedient, adorable, and polite. That was why no matter if it was Sakura, Fitt, and Illya who were eliminated, or Naia and Little Black who advanced, they were all well-liked by the mages.
This was why it was said that cuteness was justice.
"And her opponent is the transformation type … Katrina Doroy!"
Along with this voice, a tall figure walked onto the arena. Seeing her appearance, there was a burst of whistles and cheers from the surrounding spectators.
"Wow."
Looking at the opponent before her, Little Black widened her eyes in astonishment because this opponent was completely different from the previous ones.
In the past, Little Black's opponents were both men and women, but they were all orthodox mages in mage robes. But this mage before her was different.
Strictly speaking, she did not even look like a mage.
Judging from her appearance, this Katrina was around thirty years old. She was two meters tall, which was quite tall for a Mage. Not only that, but she wasn't wearing a mage's robe like the other mages. Instead, she wore bikini like bikinis. She also had bracers on her wrists, a longbow and quiver on her back, and a scimitar on her waist. Not only that, but she also had a necklace made of skulls around her neck that looked like it was made of some kind of skulls.
He looked like he came from a primitive tribe in the Amazon jungle.
"This is going to be a good show."
Upon seeing this scene, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly as a teasing smile appeared on his face. Xiao Ying, who was sitting next to him, looked at Katerina in surprise as she walked onto the competition stage.
"Teacher, is she also a mage?"
"That's right. Katrina is a member of the Swamp Barbarian Tribe. Don't be fooled by her height, she's actually the shortest member of her tribe. That's why she came to the White Tower to study magic."
Fangzheng said and waved his hand.
"But the Swamp Barbarian Tribe's speed and strength aren't much worse than Little Black's. It seems that this time … there will be a fight."
Fangzheng had heard about Katerina's situation. After all, there were always a few outliers in the White Tower, such as himself, who entered the White Tower as a Holy Knight, and Katerina, who entered the White Tower as a Barbarian. But compared to Fangzheng, Katerina's experience was more legendary. After all, before her, there was no history of a Barbarian successfully becoming a Mage.
On one hand, the Barbarians' cultural level was relatively low, and as a Mage, it was inevitable that they would have a high IQ and cultural level. On the other hand, the Barbarians' physique didn't seem to be compatible with magic, so it was difficult for them to control magic.
In fact, Katerina was the same at first, but she used a very 'Barbarian' style to solve this problem. She single-handedly killed a Wind Spirit Beast and drank its blood.
One must know that this kind of behavior was simply suicide for ordinary people. After all, the blood of a Wind Spirit Beast contained violent magic, and ordinary people who drank it would immediately explode and die from poison. However, Katerina actually relied on her Barbarian physique to survive and obtained a half-blood physique similar to that of a Sorcerer.
After that, she relied on her own efforts and physique to become a relatively outstanding Transformation Mage in the White Tower.
That was why Katerina was different from ordinary mages who only used their mouths and not their fists. Katerina's combat skills weren't much worse than Little Black's. Not only that, after she drank the blood of the wind spirit beast, she also gained the ability to manipulate the wind element. Not to mention that she was already a mage … Yep, Little Black really kicked an iron plate this time.
There's going to be a good show to watch.
"Ding — —!"
With the sound of the bell, the battle officially began.
"Swish!!"
Little Black immediately projected the word 'Rule'.
"Breaker!" Then, like a cheetah, he lowered his body and charged at Katerina. This was what she would do every time the battle started. No matter how the opponent responded, Little Black was confident that as long as she had this dagger in hand, all Mages were noobs!
However, Katerina was obviously prepared for this. One of the gems on her bracelet flashed, and then the hard ground under Little Black's feet suddenly turned into a muddy swamp.
Stone to Mud!
Little Black wasn't surprised by this. In fact, several Mages had already done this to her. After all, after realizing that Little Black's dagger could pierce through all magic, they began to choose to use objective factors to attack her. Just like how she dealt with Dangma's left hand. Perhaps his left hand was indeed broken, but if she wanted to crush a building to death, she could still crush him to death.
But Little Black wasn't a pushover either!
She liked to eat beef!
"Ha!"
The moment Little Black felt that the ground under her feet wasn't right, she immediately jumped up. The next moment, her entire body seemed to turn into a phantom and disappeared into thin air just like that!
This was the special skill of the House of Behren, Magic Transfer!
In the blink of an eye, Little Black's figure appeared behind Katerina again. Then, she thrust the dagger in her hand forward again, aiming for Katerina's body.
However, at this moment, Katerina suddenly turned around and pulled out the curved sword at her waist!
Clang!!!
With a soft sound, the sharp curved sword blocked Little Black's attack just like that.
"Oh?"
Seeing that her attack was blocked, Little Black was stunned. Then, she pressed forward forcefully and used the reaction force to quickly leap back. At the same time, Katerina's curved sword swung past Little Black's feet. Then, she turned around and slashed forward again.
"Interesting, Big Sister!"
After confirming her opponent's strength, Little Black suddenly felt playful. This was the first time she had encountered a Mage who could fight her face to face. Naturally, she wouldn't let go of this opportunity. Little Black threw away the magic dagger in her hand, then quickly reached out and projected two curved swords, one black and one white. She spun them on the ground and continued to charge at her opponent.
Soon, the two of them were engaged in battle.
Clang, clang clang clang!!
Little Black was like a petite and agile cheetah, constantly circling Katerina and launching attacks. On the other hand, Katerina was like an elephant, easily blocking Little Black's attacks again and again. She had the protection of the wind element, so even though Katerina was taller, in terms of agility, she didn't lose to Little Black at all.
Not only that, but because of her long arms and legs, Katerina had the advantage in terms of attack range.
For a moment, this didn't look like a Mage's match. Instead, it looked like a gladiator's match.
"This is really …"
Looking at this scene before him, the leader of the Evocation Department didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Isn't this good?"
However, the leader of the Divination Department obviously had a different opinion. He even puffed out his chest and raised his head, revealing his 14-pack abs.
"I think we should have done this a long time ago. Those little brats only know how to study all day long without training. In the end, they become a bunch of trash without magic. They're not the kind of talent we need! Body. Only the body is the foundation of magic. Without a strong body, how can one learn magic well? "
As he spoke, the divination chief clenched his fists. The muscles on his arms bulged, causing his sleeves to tighten.
"That's not what I meant … But …"
Looking at his old friend, the leader of the Evocation Department rubbed his bald head and shrugged.
"Alright then, it seems like we need to make some changes."
Although the White Tower had 'freaks' like Fangzheng and Katerina in the past, they were still in the minority, after all. But in this competition, the magical young ladies' battle style was almost entirely a combination of physical skills and magic. Not only that, but they were also victorious, which was naturally witnessed by the other leaders.
Perhaps it was time for the White Tower to change their way of thinking.
"Heyah!"
While the leaders were thinking about the future of the White Tower and the Country of Magic, the battle in the arena had reached its climax.
With a furious roar, Katerina brandished her scimitar and forced Little Black back. Then, the scimitar in her hand struck the ground heavily, leaving a deep crack in the solid arena.
But … this was the moment!
Upon witnessing this opening, Little Black raised her arms and swung them forward without hesitation. Then, four scimitars with distinct black and white colors flew out from her hands and surrounded Katerina from all directions.
At the same time, Little Black appeared behind Katerina, gripped the scimitars with both hands, and swung them down with all her might!
Three Crane Wings!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish! The crisscrossing blade rays slashed at Katerina, but didn't send her flying as Little Black expected. On the contrary, when she slashed at Katerina, Little Black felt as though the blades in her hands had slashed at steel!
"BOOM!!"
A violent shockwave suddenly erupted from Katerina's body. In the next moment, the magical radiance around Katerina shone brightly as she sent Blackie flying. The little girl somersaulted several times in midair before regaining her balance and landing on the ground. But at this moment, Katerina was no longer in front of her.
Where did she go?
Looking at the empty arena, Little Black couldn't help but be surprised. At this moment, her sharp ears caught the sound of the wind.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hei raised his scimitar in front of him without hesitation and deflected the arrow that was flying down from the sky. It was only then that she realized that Katerina had flown dozens of meters in the air and was aiming an arrow at her.
I see.
Seeing this, Little Black also realized that Katerina was using the same tactic as Naia used against the other mages. The quarter-finals were individual battles, so Katerina could very well fly in the air. When that happened, whether it was arrows or magic, Katerina would have the upper hand.
So that's how it is. She's treating me like Saber.
Looking at Katerina in the air, the corners of Little Black's mouth curled up slightly. After all, in the previous matches, Little Black didn't display the ability to fly in the air like Ilya and Naia, and she had always been a melee fighter. That was why Katerina obviously treated Little Black as a melee fighter.
But …
“I’m
Sword … "
Along with a low chant, Little Black extended her right hand. Soon, a pitch-black longbow and spiral-shaped arrow appeared in her hand.
Do you think I'm Saber?
Actually, I'm Archer!
