The judge was still setting up the protective barrier, so the two girls were able to make use of this short window of time to chat. After greeting Mia, Vidomina said, "Mia, you're really strong, and you're also very cute."
Faced with her opponent's friendliness, Mia bowed politely and replied humbly, "Vidomina, you're also very beautiful and powerful, but I won't admit defeat."
"Me too!" A confident smile appeared on Vidomina's face. Even though Mia was her last opponent, she did not dislike her at all. In fact, she even had a slight liking for her. She continued, "Well then, let's do our best!"
By the time they finished speaking, the referee had already set up a barrier. So, the two girls stopped talking and took a few steps back. They held a scroll between their fingers and waited for the referee to give the order. They would make their move.
The students in the audience also kept quiet at that moment. Their eyes were wide open and some of them even held their breaths as they tried to guess what kind of scroll they would start with.
A battle between sorcerers was different from a warrior's battle. The first move of both parties was very important, especially for Mia and Vidomina who both had the guidance of an expert. What kind of scroll would they start with? Who would be able to seize the initiative? How would the game of defensive magic be determined? Such a question tightly gripped the hearts of the audience and at the same time, it also gripped the heart of the Immortal Level sorcerer on the stage.
On the stage was the battle between the two girls, but below the stage, it was undoubtedly the battle between Baiyi and the Immortal Level sorcerer. As a roaming sorcerer who was originally wanted, in terms of combat experience, he boasted that he would not lose to those Holy-level sorcerers. He also maintained absolute confidence when he came up with the specific battle strategy for Vidomina.
However, when Vidomina stood in front of Mia, he suddenly felt a trace of nervousness in his heart. It was the instinct that he had honed after years of being on the run. It seemed to be telling him that he was facing a very terrifying opponent.
"It must be an illusion, right?" The old man quickly shook his head. When he was escorting Vidomina into the arena, he had met the Soul Armature face to face. Both of them had nodded politely at each other. The Soul Armature was only a mid-level Soul Armature, which was a little strange. However, the Soul Armature's reaction was very calm, as if he did not realize his true strength. He thought that the Soul Armature was just an ordinary old man. This judgment made the old man feel much calmer.
He would never have thought that Baiyi had already discovered his true strength. As for the reason why he was so calm when facing an Immortal Level powerhouse, it was because the Immortal Level was nothing to the Voidwalkers.
As for who was stronger between the two of them, it would soon be revealed following the referee's announcement.
The two girls' first actions were almost identical. They used their mental power to activate the scrolls before crushing them and throwing them out. Then, they immediately activated the energy shields on their equipment and started chanting spells.
The only difference was that the rune on Vidomina's chest indicated that she was chanting a Level 3 Dispel spell, whereas Mia was chanting a Level 2 Fire Shield spell.
Why would she make such a choice? All of the audience, including President Rhansey who was sitting in the office watching the final match through the Surveillance Spell, could not help but ask the same question.
However, before they could ask the question, a ball of flame burst out from Vidomina's scroll and formed into the shape of a garland, spreading towards Mia. That scroll was actually the Level 4 Flame Garland!
When Mia's scroll exploded, it was exactly the same transparent gel as the one in the previous match. Once again, it was aimed at Vidomina's feet!
In that case, the result was very simple. Mia blocked the Flame Garland with her Level 2 Fire Shield while Vidomina dispersed the gel in mid-air.
Both of them actually ended in a tie in the first round of the match? Both of them seemed to have no logic at all but they were able to predict the opponent's first move? Could it be that they were deliberately cooperating? Many of the students suddenly had such a speculation about the strange situation.
"No! This is not an act! Both of them have predicted the opponent's first move!" Obviously, President Rhansey's opinion was not the same as the students. He was someone who knew the background of both parties at the same time. He also knew about the existence of Baiyi and the old man. He also knew how proud these two old monsters were.
"It looks like a duel between two students but in fact, it's actually a game between a mysterious Soul Armature and an Immortal Level sorcerer? Then, this match is going to be interesting... "A satisfied smile appeared on President Rhansey's face.
At that moment, the old man who was one of the players nodded his head slightly. This was not only an acknowledgement of his own judgment but also a recognition of the opponent's strength. The reason why he chose to use the Dispel spell as a countermeasure was because he thought that the probability of the opponent using the same scroll was very high. That was the best choice.
The old man did not think that the Soul Armature would be careless enough to think that he would be able to defeat his opponent in a single round. It was necessary to test the opponent's strength. Since the offensive spell would obviously be blocked by Vidomina's equipment, then the opponent would definitely choose the two scrolls that he had used before. Not only that, but the scrolls with the Flash and Noise also had quite a lot of side effects on him. Therefore, the probability of him choosing the Gel Spell scroll would definitely be the highest!
As it turned out, the old man's judgment was quite accurate. The Dispel spell just happened to be able to defend against Baiyi's first move.
As for the fact that the opponent was able to defend against his first move, the old man was not surprised at all. Even though his side had already exposed the Silence spell, it was obvious that the Soul Armature had also figured out the situation on his side. He knew that a trump card like the Silence spell would not be used in the first round. Not only would it be disrespectful to the opponent, it would also be too risky. Besides, the old man also believed that Baiyi would definitely guard against this Silence spell. For that reason, he asked Vidomina to release the Silence spell in the middle of the game and used the Flame Garland that she had used a few times before to test the opponent.
Although it would consume a certain amount of Mana for an ordinary Intermediate Sorcerer to use a Level 4 scroll, it was very easy for Vidomina who was well-equipped. More importantly, if there was any mistake in the opponent's judgment, a powerful Level 4 spell would be more than enough for Vidomina to gain the upper hand in the game. For that reason, the Flame Garland was definitely the best choice for the old man.
Of course, Baiyi's thinking was completely correct. A Flame Shield blocked the Flame Garland perfectly.
"Looks like the young lady is going to be in for a tough battle," the old man muttered to himself. The old man muttered to himself. Even though he still firmly believed that his side would win, he did not think that it would be as easy as it was in the previous rounds.
On the other hand, Baiyi seemed to be a little distressed.
"Hahahaha! Baiyi, you dog of a manager! Now you've blown your own trumpet!" The Bard, who usually detested the authority dog, chose to mock him on the spot. He even called out Baiyi's name directly.
"What the hell do you know?" Without saying a word, Baiyi once again let him experience the consequences of challenging the authority dog.
"Oi oi oi! Sir Hope, this is not right! Didn't you say that your strategy is flawless? Why didn't you gain any advantage in the first round? Why did you even fall into a disadvantageous position? "The Engineer also chose a more subtle way to mock him.
The Astrologer who was on the same side as the other two quickly chimed in, "That's right! You've obviously used that gel scroll before but now you're using it again! How lame! How lame! It was perfectly countered by the opponent!"
"What the hell do you know?!" Baiyi sent the two into the small dark room to keep the Bard company. "Look at the Paladin and the Cleric. Both of them have nothing to say."
"What do you expect us to say?" The Paladin did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You and your real opponent only calculated each other's best moves and then gave the answer yourself. You sorcerers love to play this kind of game, don't you? According to my understanding, those two little fellows should be evenly matched in the first few rounds of attack and defense, right? "
Baiyi did not respond to the amateurish question. Instead, it was the Cleric, who was also the Paladin, who spoke up for Baiyi. "How is that possible? You've underestimated Sir Hope, haven't you? I think the winner will be decided in the third round. There's nothing much to say about that. "
After that, the Cleric continued, "But then again, even though those three don't have much actual combat experience, they at least have some brains. It's not that they don't know that there's a logic game in it, and it's not that they don't believe in your ability. It's just that they want to take revenge on you. Didn't you just mute them this afternoon?"
Those three perverts had taken advantage of the opportunity when Mia had removed the light curtain on her dress. One of them had yelled that he wanted to lick Mia's leg, another had yelled at Baiyi to destroy the light curtain, and in the end, all of them had been muted. The last one had even asked Baiyi to dip his finger in the cream on the cake and put it into Mia's mouth to feed her …
Serves them right! Moreover, these three fellows were already so old, yet their temperaments had developed in the direction of children? Baiyi thought to himself. Then, he turned his head to look at the stage again. The second round of battle between the two kids had already ended. For the time being, they were still evenly matched. No one had the upper hand anymore. Everything was as he had expected. There was no problem at all.
