On the stage, after the two teams bowed to each other according to the rules, the referee announced the start of the game.

Almost as soon as the referee loudly announced the start of the game, the two teams went their separate ways. Nia and the others' team became a kind of front 4 and back 3 formation, with Carbensis and Flower in the back row surrounding Nia in the middle. In fact, in the previous practice, Carbpensis has long been able to adapt to fighting in the back row, but in the previous battle, because the opponent was not strong, Carbpensis did not do so, and this time in the face of a strong enemy, he was serious about doing his ranged career in the back row, because he knew very well that in the face of this kind of opponent who was enough to fight with his own team, a person's rampage could not save the battle, and only mutual cooperation was the best tactic. As a result, he put away his usual short crossbow and replaced it with a long one and stayed by Nya's side.

And just as Nia had predicted, the opposite team became a 232 formation, with two melee classes erecting large shields in the front row, two archers in the back, and three mages in the back who were responsible for strengthening the archers' attacks and the shield warriors' defenses.

Although it seems that this team and the team they faced for the first time are the type of teams that protect the front row and the back row, the two teams are not comparable.

The two melee fighters in the front row of the opponent used two large shields that were full of one person high, and as the large shield was smashed to the ground, there was a sound of heavy objects falling on the ground of the arena, which showed that the weight of these two shields was obviously not light.

The magicians in the back row also began to raise their staff for the first time. As the incantation was recited, a layer of ice blue appeared on the shield held by the two shield warriors in front of the opponent, which was the use of ice armor, which could add a certain amount of protection to the shield and greatly enhance the shield's magic resistance. It was clear that even though there was only one first-year mage on Nia's side, the opponent didn't intend to take it lightly.

The remaining mage released a magic chain and pulled it onto the team's leader, Noelle. This is magic link magic, and the mage who casts it will not be able to use any magic except for movement, and it is clear that the mage is acting as a gas station that provides Noelle with mana. And the reason why Noelle can be called 'Demon Pupil' is precisely because he can condense his magic power into ordinary arrows. This turns them into all sorts of 'magic arrows'.

A delicate longbow with a white jade hue was removed from his back by Noelle. From the intricate patterns that dotted it, Nia could clearly identify it as a rare weapon. At the same time, another teammate standing beside him also took out his longbow.

An arrow was taken out of his back and placed on top of the bow, and the longbow was slowly pulled away by Noelle. At the same time, a sense of crisis rose from the hearts of everyone on Nia's side. Especially the archer Flower, when he saw the bow and arrow that was full of arrows drawn by the other party, the flame of fighting spirit that had just ignited in his heart showed signs of extinguishing again. He had seen it in a previous match, when an opponent's bow pierced a shield warrior's shield.

Although they knew that the opponent's attack would be very powerful this time, Baron and the others in the front row still rushed towards the opponent's formation. After all, their team's advantage is still in close combat.

And according to the battle instinct she cultivated in the demon world, Nia also found at this time that in the first round of the opponent's attack, an arrow was pointed at her. This arrow originated from another archer on the opposing team. Although according to Flower, that person is not outstanding in the bow and arrow department, the teammate who can be selected as the 'Demon Pupil' must also have good strength. Therefore, after feeling the danger, Nia also turned on the magic shield that had not been opened due to the smooth operation of the previous battle.

There was a soft 'boom' in the air, which was the sound of the opponent's bow and arrow piercing the air, and then the two arrows flew quickly towards the captain Baron, who rushed to the front, and Nya who was standing in the back row. But the arrows are fast, and the reaction speed of two people is even faster. The ghost swordsman Baron stuck his long-standing greatsword into the ground, and at the same time resisted the blade with one shoulder, and he used the longsword as a shield. Although this skill should be classified as "blocking" in the game, that action really gives the impression of carrying a shield.

The other reaction was Kabensis standing beside Nia. I saw that the other party had just shot an arrow, and in the next moment, Kabensis raised the long crossbow that had been holding tightly in his hand, and with the sound of the three-sound machine operation, the three ordinary crossbow arrows were shot out by him towards the arrow that was shot at Nia.

Soon, the first crossbow bolt collided with the flying arrow, and in the moment Kabensis shot the crossbow arrow into the path of the arrow with great skill based on his own judgment and knowledge of the arrow.

After the two met and sparked, Carbensis's crossbow bolt was finally broken, after all, he was only using ordinary crossbow arrows, which were naturally incomparable to the steel crossbow arrows used by the opponent. But the second and third bolts arrived at this time. Eventually, because of the constant crossbow arrows, the arrows were finally wiped out of their original angles, and when they finally landed on Nia's side, the angle of the arrows finally deviated a lot, and finally flew over everyone's heads. That's exactly why Baron put Carpentis in the back row at the beginning. Before that, even few people in the team knew about his skill.

Although Nia and the others were relaxed, the people in charge of guarding around them were nervous. Originally, they thought that it was only a preliminary round and they didn't need to use the protective barrier, but the arrows that flew over made them feel a strong sense of crisis.

But it's too late to start protecting now. At this moment, a layer of light screens protected the students in the range of the bow and arrow, which was exactly what the teachers who saw that the situation was wrong.

Eventually, the arrow rippled across the shield and vanished. But even so, the power of this arrow still shocked everyone.

Although it was only a hastily used magic shield, it was the hand of a teacher whose strength was above the fourth order. In this way, it can still ripple, which means that the power of this arrow has already touched the threshold of the third order.

"Don't be stunned, quickly set up a defensive barrier." The teacher from the Academy of Magic said afterward.

Soon, a pale yellow shield surrounded the arena, which was originally intended for the final arena later, but did not expect to need to be used today.

——————

"How does it feel?" Carbensis said to Baron, who was not far in front of him. In front of Balon, a gully of eight meters was plowed out by Balon with his sword, and a sword from Noelle just now knocked Balon, who had already run out, back to the place!

"It's a bit heavy, but it's okay." Baron had a smile on his face, apparently not suffering any damage from the heavy blow he had just received.

He then looked at Flower on the other side. "Look, the opponent is not as strong as you think, and we can still win. It's just that a few of us need your help to break through, and the support after that will be handed over to you. ”

Feeling Baron's abundant confidence, Flower couldn't help but put his head down.

"Hey, okay. Everybody follow me, the victory of this game - we are decided! ”
