After the registration for the Nova Tournament ended, although the class was still normal on the surface, there were a lot of changes in the secret. Many students began to practice swordsmanship and combat after school, and many aristocratic children were full of excitement and anticipation, fantasizing that they would become famous in one fell swoop, just like the characters in the story.

But for most of the poor, fighting is not so beautiful, many people have experienced it when they were young, hunting wild beasts, street fights, fighting, frequent tricks, etc., fighting or hunting these are just means of livelihood, and it is also a means of livelihood that needs to be used carefully, because the price of injury is not something that the poor can bear, and infection, illness or disability almost directly declare a person's end.

Fortunately, this battle against Emmenas provided free treatment, and the students of the 'Leaf of Life' club also assisted in treatment, which solved the worries of most students before they dared to sign up.

A week later, the tournament officially began.

As the bell rang, some students walked out of the classrooms and halls one after another, tomorrow is the weekend off, and school ends early this afternoon, and there is still a lot of time before the sun sets.

"Loraine, are you going to participate in the preliminary round today?"

After school, several young girls walked slowly in the corridor with the flow of people, chatting with each other.

"Yes, you don't seem to be in our dorm, Alena."

"Aha, I have more important things to do, keep this a secret first."

Alena smiled and gestured, the four of them have been together for a break in class and back to the dormitory recently, and the rest of the time they are busy with their own business. Lorain Hill needs to handle some affairs on Lohir's side, and Nia seems to have contacted a club of orcs at the school and has become a reserve member, participating in some activities and training. Lettice mingled with the group of aristocratic ladies every day, discussing some clothing, outfits, poems, and the like.

"Alright, this is it, see you in the evening." Lorain Hill waved his hand, said a brief goodbye, and then walked to the entrance of a narrow passageway, first showing the qualification and micro-badge of the competition, and after checking it, the guard let her in.

"I'll see you later."

Several others also walked and dispersed to different entrances to the passage.

The entrance to these passages is the basement that leads to the classroom hall, where there is a large basement separated by a large number of people in the preliminary round, and it is also for confidentiality, and the participants will only know which passage they are going to this afternoon, and then they will receive instructions from the staff to go to the basement where they are playing.

After exiting the crowd and entering the passageway, a bright gem is placed in the stone slab overhead at intervals, illuminating the staircase and floor beneath your feet.

The passage is about two meters wide, both sides are gray and blue stone walls, it feels a little cold, walking in the empty passage, you can clearly hear your footsteps, the air has the unique shade of the underground, but fortunately it is relatively fresh, not stuffy.

Walking quietly in the passageway, Lorain Hill could only hear the sound of the students leaving school in the distance behind him, while there was silence in front of him.

Are there so few people? She couldn't help but think in her heart, although she should be in a small arena, but this is too quiet.

Following the direction indicated by the note in her hand, she finally stopped in front of a stone door next to the passage, and placed her student badge on the pattern in the middle of the stone door, and the lines slowly glowed blue and white, and then the stone door slowly slid open, revealing a vast space.

Bang –

A dull ripple spread, and the air contracted and distorted as if it had been struck by a sledgehammer, making people tremble, spit blood, and then the sound almost deafened the ears came.

The empty basement is about more than 1,000 square meters, more than a dozen stories high, and a puff of smoke and dust rises from the wide ground, and a circular reticulated cracked road centered on smoke appears on the floor.

"Hahaha, is that the only degree?"

There was a burst of laughter from the field, and then a young man in loose short sleeves floated in the air, he sat on a huge stone throne, and then waved his hand forward, and more than a dozen pillars of light shot out from the air, and the pillars of light cut neatly on the earth according to the established trajectory, plowing the earth into several deep ravines, and the broken stones exploded and flew wildly, some flew to the far border, and hit the wall one by one.

Out of the smoke rushed a petite figure, with a light blue spiral double ponytail, dressed a little cute, holding a three-meter-long hammer in both hands, the head of which was stained with the powder of the stone. Wearing a black and white bubble skirt, his body crossed a huge arc in the air, carrying a thousand momentum, and the giant hammer struck the short-sleeved boy opposite.

The short-sleeved boy jumped up on the throne and flew into the air, and the throne was directly shattered by the double ponytail girl, and finally the stone hammer hit the wall behind it, and there was another earth-shattering sound, and a circular cracked network pattern appeared on the wall.

After the short-sleeved boy jumped into the air, he stretched out his hands, his body was cross-shaped, and complex golden imprints began to appear on his forehead, and seventeen golden fireballs slowly condensed in the air. The vast magic power continued to spiral into this golden fireball, its burning flames were colorless and transparent, and could only be seen through the distorted air and light, and the amazing heat it emitted, even if it was thousands of kilometers away, could ignite people, and the air began to emit a scorching smell.

The petite girl was not afraid to see this, and took the giant hammer with one hand and slammed it on the ground, as if a colorless air flow escaped, and the gravel and dust were swept away, and there was a violent tremor from the earth, and all the stone slabs on the ground were broken, and then began to rise and fall like waves, like the waves before a storm.

Tau –

There was almost a continuous sound of breaking the air, and huge stone pinnacles burst out of the ground, stabbing into the air at a rapid pace, and finally hitting the ceiling directly. Unlike energy attacks, these heavy, tight stone impacts are barely countervailed by their attacks, and can only be dodged constantly.

The short-sleeved boy couldn't dodge, and was directly scraped out a long hole by the sharp stone Ling on one of the sharp pillars, and the blood was left from his face and shoulders, staining a piece of it.

"Damn."

An angry roar came out of his mouth, and then his pupils contracted rapidly, golden light spread all over his pupils, and seventeen golden fireballs slammed and exploded between the underground stone forests, the intense light engulfed everything, and the terrifying heat swept across the entire space, and countless shattering and exploding sounds mixed together, forming a loud noise that drowned everything.

After a long time, the fire cleared and the smoke slowly dissipated, and Lorain Hill slowly stepped into this mess of the battlefield, surrounded by broken stones and deep pits, and only then did an announcement be heard from the ceiling overhead.

"Player 106 wins, Player 5 loses, please get ready for Player 309, there are wooden weapons to choose from next to it."

After the words fell, a slight sound of footsteps slowly came out of the smoke, it was the girl with two ponytails just now, she threw aside the short-sleeved boy who was already unconscious like a dead fish.

"Hello sister, I'm No. 106 Aloy, are you No. 309?"

She shook the dust off her body, and a smile appeared on her face that was innocent and cute.
