Chapter 113 5 Feed 5 Fair Play
In early October, the weather became drier and cooler, and everyone changed into autumn school uniforms.
In the afternoon, the sky was deep blue and the roads of the college were covered with yellow dead leaves.
In the academy's arena, the whole class was practicing the release of lightning elemental magic attacks.
The teacher who taught how to release magic was a male teacher in his thirties, who was at the level of an intermediate third-level Rubik's Cube Master. He spoke slowly and used many professional terms from the textbooks when explaining the content of the course.
He led everyone to practice anti-magic of lightning element, and at the end of the practice, he told everyone that after the sword competition in late October, there would be another competition, an offense and defense competition between first-years. The rewards for the top three classes were almost the same as those for the sword competition, except for the weapons, and they would be given elementary magic wands.
The number of applicants per class is limited to seven.
The armor is enchanted plate armor provided by the academy, which has five layers of protection against impact and can defend against magic attacks below the primary level one. If you are attacked more than three times, you will be eliminated immediately.
It's another competition, and Isabella must participate. But if she calculates it this way, from mid-October to the end of October, her time will be completely occupied by the academy, and she will have no time to join Lingyi and the others' activities.
In the class, those participating in the fencing competition are Isabella, Julius, and three other tall boys.
Isabella's tactics are very simple. You don't need to take any action. Just stand where you are and wait for Isabella to fight one against five.
When she said this, no one believed it. Isabella made a bet with them. During the sword fighting class, in the arena and in front of the whole class, Isabella easily defeated five people.
He was agile and fast, using the blades of his sword to collide with them, getting close to them and quickly drawing his sword, knocking them down one by one.
Everyone in the class knew that Isabella had a father who was a Knight Commander, and that he was definitely strong enough in swordsmanship to confront an opponent without getting hurt.
It was not until they saw with their own eyes that Isabella, a girl, defeated five boys that the whole class believed that she had secured the first place.
Teacher Tiguwei saw this little display of skill and was very impressed: This child must have practiced swordsmanship very hard, and Hailuoda must have taught him very seriously. As long as he is guided properly, he will definitely be able to replace my position as an instructor in the palace in the future...
After school, Isabella, Julius, Fifkins and Marianna packed up the weapons and equipment for training. In the end, they had filled three baskets and boxes. On the way back to the weapons room, they saw the Seventh Prince sitting alone on a bench at the side of the weapons room door, with several of his soldiers and attendants standing ten meters away.
"...Classmates," the Seventh Prince called Isabella and the others, "Do you value honor very much? I found that you are the ones who are most willing to work hard in the class. The other students are obedient and good students. Their families are well-off, and they don't seem to be able to win any honor on their own."
Isabella felt that the Seventh Prince was acting very strange today. He suddenly said these words. Was he trying to put on some show of being friendly to the people?
Isabella started by praising the Seventh Prince for his unique vision. After paying her respects, she admitted that she did it for better results and honors, but she didn't expect how thorough she was.
"...Honor is an added value to achievement," Isabella said. "We come from humble backgrounds, so we must seize any opportunity to gain honor and achievement."
"Oh... those of you who pursue honor, can you..." The Seventh Prince bowed his head slightly, stood up, and put his hands restlessly in his pockets, "Participate in the magic competition. I have already contacted the class representative, Brian Bilkant. If Miss Isabella is willing to participate, our class will have a better chance of winning first place. If you feel too busy, you can refuse. Don't worry about my identity as the Seventh Prince, just treat me as an ordinary classmate."
Isabella's eyes turned around, and she agreed to the Seventh Prince's invitation thoughtfully, then turned around and signaled to the three people to move the boxes in.
"…There are still three people missing. Do you have any other candidates for the Seventh Prince?"
Isabella asked carefully in a low voice.
"There are no suitable candidates for the other three. This competition is a little dangerous. Even with the best protective equipment, you may get injured. So I hope that students who are strong or have experience in fighting monsters can participate in the competition."
The Seventh Prince's tone became fluent, without any nervousness. Perhaps it was because he suddenly gained confidence when facing Isabella alone.
"I seldom talk to my classmates. I hope to use this competition to communicate more with the top students in the class. This time, I will be the captain."
After saying that, the three people in the weapons room quickly came out. They all looked at Isabella with worried expressions.
Isabella knew that the Seventh Prince seldom interacted with his classmates. After all, he was His Royal Highness the Prince and had a noble status, so no students would talk to him.
This time, Isabella felt that the Seventh Prince’s cordial invitation was not because he disdained to communicate with his classmates, but because everyone was afraid of his identity and he was inexplicably isolated. If he wanted to do something, he had to take the initiative himself.
"Experience in actual combat with monsters..." Isabella thought carefully about the students she had met in class. "I also asked them when I taught them swordsmanship. The monsters they confronted were of very low level. The process of training magic was very safe. They had never confronted dangerous elementary monsters. If you don't mind, can you consider the three people behind His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"them?"
The seventh prince looked back at the three people behind him, and they all smiled awkwardly.
"Are they...really capable?" The Seventh Prince said in a somewhat worried tone, "We can't mess around with our team. We must be very selective. And now you may be the one who knows the situation in the class best."
Isabella understood what the Seventh Prince meant, and complained silently in her heart: The three of them were just brought in to make up the numbers. There are only seven entry-level players in each game. They can be killed in seconds with just a wave of their hands. The six of you should stand aside. I can pass with just one guy... and I have to rack my brains to restrain the output of magic power... It's really difficult.
"Your Highness, if you don't trust them, you can at least trust me. Think about the entrance exam..."
The Seventh Prince shook his head and said, "I will consider it tomorrow and need to discuss it with the two of them." After that, the Seventh Prince waved his right hand and walked away.
Isabella looked around the arena. Many students looked at Isabella, watching the show. Isabella had guessed their thoughts from their hazy eyes. They were all very curious about what Isabella and the cold Seventh Prince talked about.
At nine o'clock in the evening, when the library was about to close, Isabella met with Merlin.
"Lady Saint, we already have enough evidence to prove that the three Corey Roman students came to cause trouble for Briffin College. The weather has been dry recently, and they secretly prepared dead leaves and piled them near the library. They came out in the dead of night and set the fire."
"When the fire started, they left in a hurry. Before the fire spread to the side door of the library, the two of us put out the fire. Their actions have been recorded in the memory crystal, and the scenes of drug throwing in the cafeteria have also been recorded. What's more important is that they secretly damaged things in the weapons room and the alchemy room. The scroll room is strictly guarded, so they have never succeeded."
"The three of them..." Isabella said softly as she looked at the book, "Take the evidence and send it to the principal's office as anonymous students. Oh, and you also need to make a clone and keep it."
Merlin glared at the last reminder, then nodded and agreed to make sure it would be foolproof this time.
Merlin watched Isabella leave, wondering: Is the principal of Briffin untrustworthy? These kinds of evil deeds should not be entrusted to the academy... Trust? Wait, could it be... But in this way, I understand, she is worthy of being the Saint Lady, she is really thoughtful.
The next morning, get out of class time ends.
The Seventh Prince came to Isabella's desk, very close to her, followed by Brian Bilkant.
"No need to bother with the formalities," the Seventh Prince said softly, "We have already discussed this. Out of trust in you, the three students you proposed yesterday can participate in the magic competition."
After Isabella thanked him, the classmates all looked at the Seventh Prince's actions quietly.
"Your Highness, do you have a strategy for the magic competition?" Isabella asked in a loud voice. If she spoke quietly, she was afraid that she would be misunderstood by her classmates.
Milushia appeared at the back door of Isabella's class. Seeing the scene in front of her, her heart ached and she covered her mouth with her hands...
From Milucia's perspective, the Seventh Prince was almost talking to Isabella face to face.
"I'll think about it. The magic competition is a one-round win-lose system, and the tactical formation..."
The seventh prince expressed his thoughts on the battle.
"...Do you have enough time to train? You still have a swordfighting competition."
Isabella nodded and said with a happy smile: "I will follow your Highness's arrangements..."
Isabella almost couldn't help laughing: My tactics are absolute strength and speed, you arrange yours and I fight mine.
During the lunch break, Isabella met Milushia on her way back. She had an angry expression on her face and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Isabella looked at him curiously, "Are you unhappy in class today?"
"I finally know why you are so busy. It turns out that you have a very good relationship with the prince in your class. He already looks down on me, a little earl from the countryside."
"What? The Seventh Prince came to me to discuss the magic competition..."
"What? You're still participating in the magic competition? You're really capable..." Milucia didn't believe Isabella's so-called misunderstanding, and said indignantly, "Today when we were in class, three boys in our class were taken away by Group C of the Almighty Eye, and the principal also came."
Isabella was a little interested and asked, "What happened?" Of course Isabella knew, but when she heard that it was Group C of the Almighty Eye, she felt disappointed. Could it be that those people were related to the Magic Group? When she mentioned Group C, Isabella didn't think they were the Almighty Eye, but the Magic Group.
"Their evil deeds were discovered, and someone anonymously complained to the principal. The principal invited the Almighty Eye to investigate, fearing that someone was slandering them."
"Now that the three of them have been taken away, I'm angry. They are the three most powerful members of our class. Once they leave, we don't know when they will come back. They may not be able to participate in the competition. I'm the captain of the magic competition in my class, and I haven't thought of anyone to be a backup. The sword competition that is about to begin is missing two people. The noble young masters in the class are very proud and are not willing to participate in any competition at all."
As Milucia chattered on, Isabella's mind was full of thoughts: Corey Roman Third Empire, Magic Team? All-Seeing Eye Group C? She felt that the three of them would most likely be released on the grounds of slander.
At night, Isabella entered the library.
The two of them looked at each other from a distance and knew at a glance that it was time to get together and discuss today's topic.
"We have come into contact with the three of them. They are so self-righteous that it is difficult to approach them. We have been observing them from a distance." Merlin commented.
"...Have you checked Xidi Street, where they often go?"
Isabella's question made Erwin chuckle secretly.
"That place has no business at all. It's located in a busy downtown area. Their clerks are also very strange. They are all secretive. They are all at the intermediate second-level magic source level. Their identities are still uncertain. At first, we thought they were some kind of underground organization. Today, we found that the magic fluctuations of several of them were very strange. They were similar to the magic fluctuations of Merlin and his friends who had been injected with magic experiments..."
"So it's... the Magic Team," Mei Ling said firmly, "The three of them are from the Corey Roman Third Empire. After the evidence was handed over to the principal's office, it turned out that the All-Seeing Eye C Team came to investigate. They are all their own people. It's a perfect closed loop."
"The Magic Group? That's really tricky," Isabella ordered, "There's only one unfriendly option now."
The two understood each other and quickly left the library.
Before the game started, the three of them were released for a simple reason.
They believe it is slander and they are deliberately prevented from participating in the competition. Secondly, the source is unknown and it may be someone deliberately destroying the relationship between the two countries. If the principal does not handle this incident properly, it may escalate to the diplomatic level between the two countries.
The first day of the fencing competition.
Isabella's class was facing off against the Wind Element Class 2.
The four people behind him looked at the Wind Element Class 2 with a comfortable and proud look.
The five of them were arranged in two or three echelons.
They found that a little girl standing in front of four boys was simply the opposite of Tian Gang.
The whistle for the game sounded, and Isabella rushed forward in two steps. Within ten seconds, the fight was resolved by one person, and both were knocked out of bounds by Isabella.
"Why is she so...strong?"
The captain of the other team stood up, his face full of disbelief. He had clearly withstood the impact, but his body involuntarily retreated and finally fell out of bounds...
In the audience, the first-year students watching the game gave Isabella a warm round of applause.
After advancing, they faced off against the Water Element Class 1. Isabella's second round was also one against five. In ten seconds, she swung her sword and kicked three girls three meters away. The other two boys fought hard and were defeated in three moves. They dropped their swords and their arms were sore. Throwing away the sword in a competition is considered a forfeit...
The next game will have to wait until tomorrow.
The confronting class was Class 3 of the Earth Element Department. They were very powerful and defeated the two Wind Element Department classes.
Two sword teachers thought that Isabella's class was the Seventh Prince and might have bribed their opponents. However, when they tested Isabella, she completely took on every move of the sword teacher.
This rules out any shady dealings with bribing opponents.
By the time of the next day's competition, someone had already figured out a way to deal with Isabella.
The five people stood in a wide range, leaving enough space for maneuvering.
