"Wait, if this is a tactic against normal teams, then what about abnormal teams?"
ra quickly caught the main point.
This ti, Kain sighed.
"There is almost no such thing as an effective redy."
"Maybe I'll think of sothing later."
Kain shook his head, this matter could only be left there for now.
"Okay, anyone have any comnts?"
The girls all shook their heads. The eting was thus adjourned.
After the eting ended, Elna also returned to her room on ti and reported everything to Faith.
"Healer, attacker, defender...? Well, pretty much what Kain can do."
Faith comnted.
Ever since the Dungeon Trial ended, he knew that Kain would often arrange the rules and regulations when he had to manage many people at the sa ti, so it wasn't strange for Kain to assign each team mber precisely.
"But there is one very weird point…"
"Weird? Tell ."
Faith looked interested.
Elna scratched her head as if trying to rember, then she spoke.
"It was when Kain ntioned the semi-healer position that Myra suddenly showed signs…"
Because Elna was so focused at that ti, she quickly restored the details.
Faith's eyes flashed thoughtfully.
Healer? Semi-healer? [Life Magic]?
Now that Faith had noticed, it was likely that Myra's strange behavior was because she felt that the semi-healer role that Kain described was more suitable for him.
He just tried to hide it.
Why? Why did he do that?
It was no secret that Kain possessed [Life Magic].
So, there must be so good reason why he intentionally hid [Life Magic].
For people like them, no action is superfluous, even inaction.
Therefore, Faith quickly noticed a detail, which was the speed of magic cultivation.
Kain intentionally hid his [Life Magic] to use it as a trump card at a crucial mont. This seed impossible when increasing magic so quickly, but didn't Kain have a precedent with [Fire Magic]?
Before that, Faith had probed the information of the students that Kain had eliminated from the screening round. Without exception, all of them were terrified when Kain, who possessed mid-class [Fire Magic], struck them down with a single blow.
"No, this is still too simple."
Faith muttered, she fell into deep thought.
Through this incident, Faith could confirm that Kain had seen through Elna's disguise, which was why he hid it. But through their previous secret fights, Faith did not think that Kain would make such a simple move.
Faith also knew the art of counterintelligence, knowing that spies were not just surveillance tools, but could be considered as communication devices. And of course, counterintelligence could use spies to convey false information about the enemy behind the spy.
So, Kain must have intentionally conveyed this "hidden" information to Elna, so that Faith would think that this information was sothing Kain wanted to hide. When in fact it was just a distraction.
"Already prepared? Just what I thought."
Faith laughed happily, indeed only when colliding with another cunning person, he could feel what was fun.
"But don't be so hasty, Kain. Our ga... is still long."
…
Very quickly, seven days passed.
Sixteen teams, from all over the academy, gathered in the square. Everyone was on guard, constantly looking around as if to confirm who the enemy was.
Among them, the team that received the most glances was none other than Cecilia's team, she stood alone in a place, her hand placed on the sword at her waist, her eyes looking into the distance.
The four students behind her all had serious faces, hands behind their backs, and lined up in a straight line. Like loyal bodyguards.
Everyone knew that these people were just decorations. Cecilia was only looking for people to qualify for a team. She didn't need anyone's help in battle.
"Welco, warriors."
"You all know what I want to say. So all I want to say is... good luck."
As soon as the principal finished speaking, all the students were teleported.
Kain's vision was blurred, when he regained his focus, he was greeted by the familiar desert scene of a few days ago.
"Don't tell we have to fight on this damn sand?"
ra grimaced, about to curse when she suddenly felt the ground shake violently. A few seconds later, their entire team felt the sa tremor.
Imdiately, stone pillars, walls, and eventually the entire arena rose from the sand, just enough to accommodate Kain's team and three other teams in the arena.
Kain looked at the other three teams and saw Cecilia's cold gaze sweep over, his heart couldn't help but sink.
Obviously, they are unlucky.
Not only Kain, the other two teams also had dumbfounded expressions wherever they saw Cecilia, Kain was sure that their arms were freezing.
At this mont, two pillars of light shot down, covering Kain's team and another team.
"First match of the day."
A voice rang out.
The first match is about to take place.
Look at the opponent in front, then glance back.
"Ready?"
"Of course I'm ready!"
ra gave him a thumbs up, the rest of the team nodded in unison.
The opposing faction saw Kain's aggressive aura and felt apprehension, but to have been able to co this far, none of them were cowards.
Unfortunately, whether they are cowards or not, they are still the sa.
[Enhancent Body].
[Thunder Flash].
With his speed advantage, Kain quickly charged forward, striking straight into the middle of the enemy formation.
Seeing thunder rise, Kain imdiately used the fastest [Thunder Arrow] to attack, instantly hitting the two mbers on the other side.
ra also used [Fly] to take advantage of flying, just as the other side was still overwheld by Kain's attack, [Air Slash] slashed down.
"Try to hold on!"
A person who seed to be the team leader shouted, he raised his hand, creating a giant wall of earth that surrounded the mbers, another person quickly ran over wanting to pull back the two teammates who were hit by Kain's [Thunder Arrow].
However, what awaited this person was a [Thunder Arrow] straight to the face.
As for the stone wall, Kain only breathed out, a relatively large ball of fire condensed in his palm, containing a violent heat.
[Fire Cannon].
The fireball exploded, turning into a beam of destruction that shattered the stone wall into pieces.
ra from above seed to see an opportunity, the air in her hands circulated into two convection currents, twisted and pushed down creating a tornado.
[Air Vortex].
The tornado swept up piles of rocks and debris and destroyed everything. Very quickly, all five mbers of the other team were eliminated.
The ti was not even a minute.
Elna, Katie, and Myra were all stunned. Then they returned to normal when they rembered the rules of this round.
This is a round robin, no one will be eliminated, so there will be a lot of matches going on.
For example, according to the rules, Kain's team will have to play three matches today. Kain's team will have to play one match each of the next three days.
This ensures that over four days, teams will all play each other back and forth in two matches to settle points.
So now, Kain's team has one point. The losing team has no points yet, so their score is still zero.
Imdiately after the match ended, they were transferred to a separate resting area right inside the arena.
Kain quietly observed the structure of this place, discovering that the four corners of the main arena were the four resting rooms for the four teams. There was a path that passed through all the resting rooms, seemingly for the convenience of movent.
Seeing that Kain had been observing for a long ti without moving, ra patted his shoulder.
"What's up?"
"Nothing, just... can we socialize with the other teams?"
Faced with Kain's incomprehensible question, ra still seed to think for a mont, then replied.
"Of course, there is a way."
"Yes, there is a way."
Kain smiled, as if he had understood sothing.
Three hours later. The announcent sounded.
"Second match of the day."
This ti, Kain's team wasn't summoned, so today must be the day the previous team they fought against would challenge them.
In the break room, a large screen was projected, giving everyone in the room a panoramic view of the arena where the two teams were about to fight.
Here, they also saw the team that had confronted them before.
Although these people did not have any visible injuries on their bodies, their faces were pale, and their aura had weakened by half a level.
"This is why we have to deal with this quickly."
Kain's voice rang out, slow and calm, causing everyone to stop and listen.
"This round has no eliminations, but its intensity is no less than the screening round."
"Look at those guys, do you think they have a chance of winning against an opponent of their equal level in this condition?"
The girls all shook their heads, it was obvious that an unoptimistic state had a great influence on the ability to exert magic power.
"The screening round will at least give the weak team a chance to fight back. But in this round, the weak will only get weaker, the strong will only get stronger."
Kain sighed and said.
