"Seriously, those old grandpas are really cunning. I can't believe they used such a trick."
"Alright, alright, stop complaining."
Fangzheng patted Blackie's head with a smile as he looked at the unhappy Blackie sitting beside him. Blackie clenched his fists in dissatisfaction.
"That's right, we're supposed to be the champions …"
Hearing Blackie's complaint, Nanoha, who was sitting opposite him, lowered her head uneasily.
"I'm sorry, teacher, it's all my fault …"
"It's not your fault either."
Fangzheng smiled as he looked at Nanoha.
The battle between the magical girls completely ended after Natsuya used that trick on them.
Although Nanoha did win the battle in the end, the mages were so shocked that they almost couldn't catch their breath. After they caught their breaths, they started discussing fervently.
They weren't protesting that Nanoha was cheating or endangering personal safety, but … it was against the rules!
Of course, this was just a way of saying it. After all, the Celestial Ladder Tournament only allowed Fifth Circle mages and below to participate. Advanced mages who had learned Sixth Circle spells were not allowed to participate.
That was normal. Which university student had ever seen an Olympic champion? Were they here to compete? Or were they here to cause trouble?
The previous battle between Blackie and Nanoha did not cause such discussions, mainly because they did not show any particularly strong fighting style. Most mages only felt that the magical girls' fighting style was a little strange and difficult to deal with, but it was not to the extent that they could not deal with them.
But when Nanoha fired her cannon, the entire White Tower was in an uproar.
What a joke! This was not something they could deal with at all! They probably couldn't beat anyone other than the chief disciples!
This is a university student tournament! Why are you using Olympic athletes to put on a show?
Not only did the students have such thoughts, but the teachers of the various factions also felt the same way. They also complained to the chief disciples.
The chief disciples were helpless. After all, they were the ones who invited the magical girls to participate in the tournament in the first place. Although the chief disciples knew that the tournament had a strength limit, they did not ask any further after they found out that Nanoha and Fiat were only eleven or twelve years old. After all, in the eyes of the chief disciples, even if these little girls were strong, they would not be as strong as Advanced Magicians.
Not to mention, according to Fangzheng, a few of them had only become magical girls for less than a year. Before this, they were completely ordinary people.
Therefore, the chief disciples did not take it to heart. A year ago, they were still ordinary people, and they had only been exposed to magic for less than a year. No matter how much of a genius they were, there was no way they could become an Advanced Magician so quickly.
But … …
Haha …
The leaders also knew that their subordinates' complaints weren't without reason. After all, if this continued, they wouldn't even be able to fight in the next round. Everyone could see that in the next round, as long as Nanye flew into the sky and casually cast Starlight Burst, the people below could only wait for their deaths in despair.
After all, the most powerful among them had only come into contact with level five spells. What else could they do if they didn't die?
As for the might of the Starlight Burst, the Leaders did some calculations and came to the conclusion that even the Leader of the Defense System wouldn't dare to pat his chest and say that he could block it.
Of course, they could use Teleportation to avoid it, but this was a competition, and Nanye's Starlight Burst covered the entire arena. They could only safely avoid it by teleporting outside the arena. However, according to the rules, leaving the arena would still result in a loss.
So, wouldn't they still die?
Therefore, the Leader of the Evocation Department had no choice but to put down his pride and look for Fangzheng to see if he could persuade the little girls to withdraw from the competition. After all, if this continued, it wouldn't be easy to clean up the mess.
Fangzheng naturally agreed to it. He was naturally not interested in becoming the champion of the University Games. His main goal in participating in the competition was to let the sorcerers of the White Tower and the Country of Magic witness the power of a young sorceress. Since his goal had been achieved, it didn't really matter whether he won the championship or not.
Coincidentally, Fangzheng had something to do, so he simply found an excuse to leave the White Tower with the little girls.
That was why Blackie was complaining.
"Alright, the chief disciple has already apologized to you and even compensated you, right?"
Seeing that Blackie was still unhappy, Fangzheng shrugged. According to the rules, the champion would be rewarded with high-grade magic equipment. To compensate for Nanye and Blackie's loss, the chief disciples also gave them a piece of high-grade magic equipment each.
For example, Nanye received a bracelet with the Spell of Everlasting Truth. This way, neither illusions nor invisibility would work on her …
Well, this was the reason why prophecy countered illusions. After all, each spell countered the other …
If they knew necromancy, they might even dig up the grave of the mage who invented the Spell of Everlasting Truth and whip his corpse …
"But I prefer to win the championship under the cheers of the crowd."
Blackie was not interested in compensation at all. She loved to join in the fun, the more the merrier. However, the chief disciple's council prevented her from joining in the fun, and she couldn't act cool either. This made Blackie quite unhappy. Initially, Blackie thought that he would definitely be the champion. After all, no matter how powerful Nanye's Starlight Burst was, he also had a Light Cannon Noble Relic. If he used Infinite Sword Roll to suppress Nanye, he would still have a chance of winning.
But now … there was no way he could win.
"Next time, I'll hold a special magical girl tournament for you to fight to your heart's content."
Looking at Blackie, Fangzheng comforted her. In fact, Fangzheng could tell from the tournament that the strength of a magical girl could not be measured by the theoretical level of the White Tower's sorcerer system. As a matter of fact, the Sorceress was an existence that could grow to the max. Take Nanoha for example. Her usual performance was only at the level of an A-rank Magister, but when it came to a real boss battle, her power might even increase to the level of an SSS rank.
Asking someone like her to participate in a tournament with limited levels was basically bullying.
Therefore, a magical girl's opponent could only be a magical girl herself …
Fangzheng also promised the Council of Chiefs that after the Magical Girl Faction was established, he would hold a special magical girl battle tournament …
Although the tournament this time was a little anticlimactic, Fangzheng's original goal had been achieved. In fact, before he left, the Chief of the Evocation Department had told him that many nobles and forces in the Country of Magic had sent people to ask when the magical girl could officially start her classes, how she would select apprentices, and so on ….
After all, Nanye's shot had really shocked a lot of people.
Not to mention, although the shot had destroyed the entire tournament venue, the unlucky noble mage who was directly hit did not die as everyone expected. He only fell into a deep coma.
This kind of spell was what every force wanted the most, especially the law enforcement agencies. After all, most sorcerers' spells were powerful, but they were also very dangerous. On the other hand, a non-lethal, powerful offensive spell like Nanye was practically a blessing in disguise!
At least they did not have to worry about accidentally injuring a suspect or a civilian. At least … at least they would only be knocked unconscious, right?
They would not die.
The nobles also preferred magical girls. After all, this kind of magic did not seem to be very dangerous at the moment, and it was also very powerful. It could also be of help to their families. Unlike other spells, the Shapeshifting, Divination, and Defense Majors might be a little better off, but the Conjuring Majors and Evocation Majors were basically disaster areas. The Enchanting Majors were even more dangerous. Even if they knew that the Enchanting Majors would not casually manipulate the minds of others, the average person would still feel a little uncomfortable.
As for the Illusionary Majors …. Except for weirdos like Delian who wanted to set off fireworks with everyone, most people's thinking circuits were relatively normal.
However, Fangzheng did not intend to start the class immediately. He still had to go back and discuss it with Priscia. Fangzheng also planned to find a time to personally visit the Mead Institute to see how they taught magical girls.
But now …. Fangzheng had other things to do.
In fact, when Fangzheng said goodbye to the girls and said that he had something to do, he was not just looking for an excuse. He really did have something to do.
Through the connection in his body with the [Origin], Fangzheng discovered one thing, and that was ….
Something had gone wrong in the Moon world again.
"So, what's going on this time?"
Standing in the darkness of the [Origin], Fangzheng looked at the spinning blue ball of light in front of him and asked curiously. If he hadn't discovered Gaia's distress signal through the [Origin], Fangzheng would not have rushed back so quickly. After all, the Moon world was one of his assets …. If something happened to it, it would be really troublesome.
Gaia did not answer Fangzheng's question. Instead, an image soon appeared in front of Fangzheng.
The first image that appeared in front of Fangzheng was the Earth. Then, the entire Earth was quickly divided into countless pieces, forming lines of light that stretched along the world boundary.
"Parallel worlds …."
Fangzheng was a veteran Moon Chef who had watched the FATE anime, so he naturally understood the concept of parallel worlds. But ….
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Fangzheng suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a problem with one of the parallel points in the timeline.
Logically speaking, two parallel lines in the same plane would never intersect, but in Fangzheng's eyes, one of the parallel points that was rapidly extending along the timeline suddenly approached the main axis like it was attracted by a magnet. Soon, under its guidance, dozens of parallel worlds had problems. They were entangled together like wires, then twisted and stretched with the main axis as the core, and then ….
Bang!
They were completely shattered.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this, Fangzheng frowned. He stretched out his hand. Following Fangzheng's action, the scenes from before reversed and returned to the place where the change occurred. Then, Fangzheng closed his eyes and pressed on the spot of light.
Of course, he knew what had happened. For some reason, the parallel worlds had merged with each other, but because there were incompatible flaws in them, a gap was formed in the world itself, and it eventually collapsed completely.
For example, a person might be dead in this Moon World, but he might still be alive in another Moon World. After the two Moon Worlds merged, the first question to be faced was whether the person was alive or dead. And this was only the person himself. If it involved a series of timelines that would change after the person was alive or dead, it would simply be a sign of frequent bugs, a sign that the world was on the verge of collapse.
Shouldn't he look for the gemstone geezer who was drilling around in the parallel world for this matter? Why did he look for him?
Although Fangzheng had some doubts at first, when he observed the distorted node, Fangzheng immediately understood why he looked for him.
The Fourth Holy Grail War ….
It seemed that he had to do it himself.
