The days quickly passed in such an atmosphere. On this day, it was finally the day of the second-grade group stage.

Because she had agreed in advance to meet Caroline and the others, Nia got up early in the morning on this day. But despite this, when Nia arrived at the pre-agreed location outside the arena, she found that everyone in the team was already waiting here except for Baron and Caroline, and Hilda was among them.

"Yo, everyone got up so early today." Looking at the people in the group, Nia said.

"Isn't it? I'm so nervous right now. After all, this is the first time we've actually played a seven-man match. Archer said as he rubbed his hands together.

Because the second-year students of the Warrior Academy only played a four-person group stage in their first year, even the Caroline team had never experienced such a thing before. So the reaction of the others present was much the same as that of Flower.

"And Hilda, do you have a game today, you don't need to get up so early." Nia said as she looked at Hilda, who was not in the team.

"I'm ...... Come and cheer for the seniors. Hilda said crampedly, and secretly looked at the team as she spoke.

"Is that so? Thank you so much. Hearing the other party's words, Nia felt very happy.

"Ah, in this early morning of love, I can see you Nia, and I seem to have a premonition that the goddess of luck will definitely favor me today." Well, this sharpshooter in front of him, Kabensis, cannot be attributed to it.

“…… Lend you auspicious words. If there were memes, Nia believed that her face would be embarrassed by now.

"Everybody come here. We just got the rules for this contest from the registration office. The two men approached slowly from the direction of the Colosseum, it was Baron and Caroline, whom Nia hadn't seen when she came.

。

"You're the captain, or you're going to talk about it." Caroline turned her head to Baron, apparently helping Baron solidify her captain's presence.

"Okay, this competition is divided into preliminary and final. The preliminary round is divided into 16 groups, which are carried out according to the elimination system, and after the competition, only one team in each group stage can successfully advance. However, since there are a total of 496 teams participating in the tournament this time, there will be a missing spot in each group after separation, so when the draw starts to assign the group, if you can draw the number 31, you can skip the first round of the group stage. Our team is divided into 15 groups, so if we want to make it through the preliminary round and reach the finals, we have to finish first in this group. ”

"The 16 groups are played at the same time, and the five rounds within each group stage will be completed in one day. Each match must not exceed 30 minutes, and if the winner is not decided after the timeout, the judges will decide the winner. ”

"The interval between each match is 10 minutes, and it starts as soon as the time is up, and if it does not arrive five minutes after the start of the game, it will be treated as a forfeit."

"In addition to your own weapons and equipment, it is forbidden to use any props that can improve your strength, such as potions, charms, etc., in battle."

"These are the rules of the preliminary round, as for the final competition requirements will not be announced until after the preliminary round, but it is said that when the finals are held, some rare leaders from the school will come to visit."

"If that's the case in the preliminary round, the more pressure you put on the team in the later stages of the game." After listening to Baron's description of the rules of the game, Nia analyzed.

"Yes, that's the only way to prevent some people from winning easily because they have too much explosiveness." Hearing Nia's words, Caroline replied. "Because the professors at the school once said that endurance is also an important criterion for evaluating strength."

"Since we've worked so hard in the days before, it's time for us to reap the fruits of success. I believe that we must be the best. At this time, the captain Baron began to cheer everyone on at the right time.

"Well, we must be the best." *N

"Come on!" Nia held out her hand, face down, in front of everyone.

It seems that everyone subconsciously understands this meaning. So they folded their hands on top of Nia's hand.

Soon all seven members of the team put their hands on it. But at this time, Nia saw Hilda, who was hesitant outside. Without hesitation, Nia grabbed the other hand's hand with her free hand and pressed it to the top with Niah's other hand.

"One, two, three, come on." This is the shout of the crowd full of fighting spirit. At this time, the fighting spirit in everyone's hearts had been completely stimulated, and even Nia felt a kind of passionate emotion surging in her heart. That's probably why schools are going to implement teamwork. Because of this bond, teammates at this time will inevitably be able to become their biggest help after leaving the campus.

Without further words, the seven members of Nia's team turned and walked towards the entrance of the players. Hilda, who was left behind to cheer for everyone, was not a participant, so she could only enter from the spectator seats on the other side.

Entering the contestants' area, Nia could see from here that the final arrangements and inspections were being carried out on the playing field.

In the player area, there are already some teams at this time. When a new team walked in, everyone cast their eyes on Nia's team.

"Huh? Did you notice, there's only one mage in this team? A sharp-eyed person immediately noticed the difference in Nia's team.

"Shhh That team is said to have offended Kinlis, so no magicians want to join, and you see, the only magician in the team is also a first-year student. I guess she was just pulled to make up the numbers. “

Let's stay away from this group, if we are implicated and offend Kinlis, then we will not have good fruit to eat. Hearing this, everyone hurriedly hid aside.

"Isn't this my beautiful Caroline? And this cute schoolgirl, you're still pretty early today. Seeing Caroline's team enter, Kinglis greeted her.

"It's a misfortune that my team is divided into 23 groups, and I am not in the same group as you, so it seems that it is impossible to send you out on your own. However, I wish you all the best in this competition. If I can get past the preliminary round, I will be very happy. After all, it's very rare to have a 'free fight' opportunity on the way to the final. Smiling wantonly, Kinglis's words succeeded in provoking the anger of several agitated members of the group.

"Tsk, it's really a weasel greeting the chickens - not well-intentioned. You're just trying to influence the mood of our team. That being the case, you still seem to be afraid of this team. Nia spoke out at this time, and also suppressed the emotions of everyone in the team.

"Hehe, funny little girl, whatever you want." The arrogant smile that had just now converged into a nonchalant smile, and Kinlis glanced at Nia again before turning back to his team.

As the time reached 8 o'clock sharp, the game was officially announced.

(I'm sorry I wasn't able to update it yesterday because of Carvin, but the guilty little night stayed up until 3:13 and finally grinded out this chapter.) Even if it's the first time to write a novel, but this book does carry a lot of my feelings, so it will not be easy to eunuch, I hope everyone can be a little more patient with this book and Xiao Ye. Saya would like to thank you all. Okay, no more, good night. I wish you all and I myself a sweet dream. ）
