-The lava eruptions are subsiding!! This test of strength really looks real and extremely difficult! The students dash through the lava without getting hurt!

“Damn, those eyes are still out there somewhere.”

Ion, Lulu, and Hoyo, who failed to catch the eye and returned to the VIP room, stared at the screen with anxious expressions.

“I heard that Dean Ivory can track your eyes. We’ll be able to fix the situation soon.”

Marquis Luciola, who had been warned in advance by her husband, Lord Kino Anastasia, calms Lulu down, while Duke Icarus Moratium and Countess Miho Ironfoxtrot also sit their daughters down to rest.

“Calm down for now and cheer on your son-in-law. Since the lava has stopped, it looks like Dean Ivory and Vice Dean Butterfly are chasing it in some way.”

Her mother, the Duchess of Reese Knight Sustained, sat her down on her shoulder as she circled the VIP room frantically that night. Bandy was holding on tightly to the hand of her mother, the Marquis Jude Goldbunny.

“Don’t worry, Bandi. Some of the artifacts I gave to my son-in-law have effects that I didn’t explain to him.”

“Was there something like that?”

“Of course. There are more than one or two artifacts we give that also have the function of protecting the wearer. Shouldn’t we always be thorough?”

“After all, mom is the best.”

“Haha, of course.”

As Marquis Jude laughed with his large chest shaking at his daughter’s praise, the others also seemed to feel a little relieved and stopped their anxious behavior and focused on the screen.

-Okay, it’s the second intersection… But the crystals are going really fast, and the students can’t control the crystals’ speed because they have to avoid the lava… The crystals are going to crash!

As the caster said, the crystals on the rough terrain and the flat terrain were quickly approaching each other… and…

-Kwaaang!!

-They collide! Wow, the aftermath of the collision is felt all the way here! According to what I’ve been told, if the crystals collide and stop at the intersection, they can only be moved by sheer force from there! This time, it’s a battle of strength and strength!!!

The screen shows two crystals that have stopped after colliding, with students quickly running towards them.

“There it is! It’s Ain! He’s safe!”

Hoyo discovers Ain’s blurred figure on the screen and jumps for joy.

-The two groups of students are clashing… clashing… right now! Look at that, all kinds of magic are entangled on both sides, and the knight cadets are clashing!! Arrows and bolts are flying fiercely between the magics!!

The screen showed a scene of knights from both sides fighting, and Ain was there too.

“The son-in-law has picked up the mace again.”

“Look, the number of knights on both sides is different, so they need at least one more knight to protect the magicians and archers. That’s why the son-in-law moves with the knights.”

As Duke Moratium and Marquis Anastasia make their assessment, the screen briefly flashes with light.

-Light bursts out during the clash of knights!! Ah! It’s magic! Dark horse, Baron Youngsik Ain Frostgarm uses light emission magic during close combat to confuse the vision of the knight cadets of the plain team, and the knights of the rough terrain team push back their opponents!

The screen shows Ain striking the opponent’s calf with his mace, and Elfin slamming the opponent’s collapsed posture with her shield, sending him flying far away. A light gasp erupts in the VIP room.

“It must not be easy to use magic while fighting a knight, but my son-in-law is doing a great job!”

Count Miho Iron Foxtrot is excitedly chatting next to Duke Moratium, and Duke Moratium nods in return.

Duke Knight Sustained, who had been quietly watching the scene, shook his head faintly.

“The momentum is good, but it’s still not enough. There’s a difference in numbers, and the skills of the students on the plains are not lacking either.”

As she said, the rough terrain team had momentum, but that momentum was only enough to prevent them from falling back. They had to push back the flat terrain team and attack the crystal to gain a chance of victory, but they were only concerned with maintaining the status quo.

-Wait a minute, that’s… that’s the Flatland Team! Someone from the Flatland Team… I see! It’s the Marquis of Leila Violet Storm! The Marquis of Leila is making a bold move! As expected from a family that has believed in the ‘Goddess of the Storm’ for generations, it seems she’s planning to unleash the power of the Goddess of the Storm!

“Oh, Marquis Leila? She must have been on the plain team!”

As Bandi said, the screen showed the young Lady of Marquis Leila, who had purple fur and was a little short, but was discharging fierce purple lightning all around her, rising into the sky.

As the successor to a family that has believed in the goddess of the sea and storms under the creator god X for generations, she has been accustomed to controlling the power of storms and lightning since she was young.

Furthermore, the power of a god is different from magic, and although she is still only able to use level 1 spell slots as a wizard, it is known to the world that when she uses the power of a goddess, she can generate power greater than at least level 3 spells.

“Eww, the rough terrain team!”

As Leila raised her hand in the air, purple lightning struck the knight cadets who were acting as the wall of the rough terrain team, and some of the knight cadets rolled on the ground. Among them was Ain, who rolled on the ground with his shield raised high.

“Ain!”

Ain, who was caught on screen, heard the night’s cry and quickly got up from his seat, waved his shield-wielding hand and showered Leila with several magical arrows made of fire, and Leila tried to shoot lightning again, but quickly dodged Ain’s fire arrows.

However, with the appearance of Layla, the power balance between the two teams began to tilt rapidly, and eventually, among the crystals that had been colliding with each other, the one on the flat ground began to tremble and instead of heading towards the rough terrain, it bounced off and began to move towards the flat ground again.

“Oh, this time the flat side won!”

The students from the flat-land team get out of the way of the flat-land crystal that has been accelerated due to being bounced off, and the students from the rough-land team collect the fallen students and begin to gather around the rough-land crystal that is slowly starting to accelerate.

-Ah!!! This time, the Flatland team takes the Crossroads battle thanks to the efforts of Marquis Leila! The Flatland Crystal is quickly gaining speed! It seems that the Roughland team needs another way to catch up!!

The caster starts chattering excitedly again, and this time, sighs erupt from the VIP room.

“Damn, I didn’t know that Leila Youngae would unleash her divine powers there.”

We knew that Marquis Leila Youngae was on the plains team, but we didn’t expect that she would use the power of the Storm Goddess so soon, so we had no choice but to admit that we had lost this fight.

“There’s still a chance, right, Ain?”

But Elfin’s expression didn’t get that bad. When I asked her why, Elfin smiled and answered, “Because I trust you.”

“If you say that, I can’t help but rack my brain.”

I return the smile to Elfin and start to roll my head quickly.

It’s not terribly difficult to win if you just burn all the spell slots you have.

Magic has a very useful lineup of 3rd level spells, 4th level spells can turn the situation around, and 5th level spells are powerful enough to be considered part of an operation in a war situation.

But that’s why I can’t use it openly. I haven’t felt it yet, but I’m holding myself back because I heard that if it were revealed that I’m using a level 2 spell on my own, it would cause a huge stir.

Even if you can use high-level magic with artifacts, it is normal for their performance to be truncated, and in fact, the level 4 spells that were activated with the ring during the first intersection battle, Wind Wall and Ice Wall, did not perform to their full potential.

“I’ve already done it once, but the surest way is to surprise. But you’ll have to do it a little differently.”

I quickly turned my head and spoke to the students who were now gathered around me.

“What other methods are there?”

“Wait a minute, let me think about it…”

I scanned the stadium with my eyes. A thousand thoughts crossed my mind.

“Ain, it’s okay if you don’t have a sharp idea. We’ll do our best until the end.”

Elfin says that because he sees me struggling. Perhaps he thought I was struggling because I had no proper solution.

“Elfin, I’m not worried because I have no way out.”

I followed the subtle changes in the trajectories of the two crystals with my eyes and smiled faintly.

“There are so many methods that I’m having trouble figuring out which one to use to get better results.”

This cool and heavy feeling. It seems like it’s time for the veterans of Academy Story 2 to step forward.

-Ahhh!! The Rugged Team’s movements are becoming more synchronized! Oh my! It looks like the Rugged Team has given up on the crystal!!

Dean Ivory and Vice Dean Butterfly were running at a fast pace. No, it would be a misnomer to say they were ‘running’ at a fast pace. The two were flying at a high speed, slightly above the ground.

“Vice President Butterfly, where are you?”

“We’re inside Zone G. They haven’t caught us yet. ”

– Two surprise attack teams from the rough terrain team appear from the other side of the rough terrain!! Another surprise attack team of three, with their personnel distributed appropriately, approaches from the rough terrain side!!

“Can you feel the power of the Liberator?”

“I’m still pulling it together. By the time I get there, I’ll be able to stop any other attempts at trickery without much difficulty.”

“It looks hard to catch or kill.”

“Because he’s such a quick guy.”

– It’s the wall of wind again!! A wall of wind rises at an exquisite angle between the flat team and the flat crystal as they move to respond to the surprise attack!! Aaaah! The rough terrain crystal overtakes the flat crystal even though it only has a few students! An unbelievable battle of strategy and strength is unfolding!!!!

“Move faster.”

“Okay, Dean.”
