The daily training time is not long. I didn't put my mind on it either. Because results are far from the most important thing for us. If someone were to attack Airi, they probably wouldn't wait until the game officially began.

Although it is not allowed to bring magic weapons into the entrance, with the characteristics of the Jade Void Short Sword, I can still summon it in my hand when I need it. But if I can't summon it, then I'll have to prepare to fight with my bare hands.

So for most of the ten days, I spent most of the day practicing boxing and swordsmanship alone in a dense forest that was inaccessible outside the courtyard, especially the control of air strikes and sword qi.

The next day, after class, Airi came to my dormitory and said a lot of words of thanks. But I really don't want to talk to her too much.

But I can't express the irritability in my heart. Because the most dangerous person on this trip is her. Of course, she felt more nervous in her heart. And I'm just a part-time bodyguard, and the camera acts. I don't know what Yui and Hitomi think.

So I tried to comfort her and sent her away.

One day, more than ten days later, Professor Hara Kumi led Airi, Kokosakura, me, Yui, Hitomi, Ren, and Ryunosuke to a mountain col at the back of the hospital. An all-black shuttle was already waiting there.

We boarded the shuttle one after the other. It's very dark in the shuttle, and there's not a lot of space up there. There were so many of us going up that it was immediately crowded. In addition to us, there were two cloaked black-clad warriors on the shuttle, sitting quietly in the corner, motionless. From the spiritual sense, their presence is not felt.

Because we can't see the outside at all, we can only feel that the shuttle has taken off, but we don't know which direction it is moving. Occasionally, the spiritual sense was dispersed, and within a thousand kilometers, no other objects were detected.

I don't know how long it was, maybe two hours, maybe more. The shuttle finally landed in a glade.

A group of 11 of us stepped down from the shuttle and immediately felt a completely different temperature and climate from Dewa. The forest is dense here, and the air is crisp and humid.

The two samurai didn't get off the shuttle with us, but manipulated the shuttle to leave quickly.

We walked along the road, skirting an Ainu village and entering a small castle. We were already greeted at the castle and arranged for us to stay at the inn.

We asked for three adjoining rooms. Hara Kumi lives in the middle with Airi, the four of us Lingnu live on the left, and the five of Ryunosuke and the other five live on the right. Contestants from other families also live in the same hall. But neither Kumi Hara, Airi, nor we have any intention of communicating with others. Even the meals are delivered directly to the room by the kan station.

At ten points in the middle of the night, I spread out my spiritual sense, and instantly covered the area around the pavilion. Even the entire castle is included. However, there are several areas in between, but there is a blur in the spiritual sense. Apparently there is a shield for spiritual sense. None of the other areas looked like a playing field.

In the morning, Kumi Hara arranged for us to change into our revealing suits in the house. Then each person put on a coat like a large cloth shirt, just to cover the exposed waist, abdomen and thighs. Airi wore a pale red silk robe, which looked very graceful and luxurious. Kumi Hara herself changed into a white suit.

I gave all the three magic weapons in my hand, the bracelet, the red ribbon and the ring, to Kumi Hara.

"Teacher, last night my psychic sense failed to detect the inside of the arena. Presumably, the arena has shielded spiritual power. At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to control the Qiankun Circle and Chaotian Aya back into my hands. But my Jade Void Short Sword, according to the teacher, can penetrate these shields. I haven't tried it though. ”

Kumi Hara grabbed my hand, "Nezha, Ryunosuke and I will look for a suitable place around the arena. Once your ring is gone, we'll go all out to get into the ring. ”

Then we got on the three carriages that the tournament organizers had prepared for us and went to the racetrack. It's still Hara Kumi who accompanies Airi, followed by the four of us, and then Ryunosuke and them.

The competition was held in a tall circular building. At a gate, Ryunosuke and they were stopped. Kumi Hara only sent us to the second gate.

Outside the second gate, we took off our coats, revealing our suits exposed, and then examined them with Airi. After making sure that he didn't carry a magic weapon, he was put into the arena.

I was about to disperse my spiritual sense, but I was immediately warned and had to withdraw it quickly.

Look around. Although the building looks large from the outside, the inside of the arena is not very wide. Clearly not a successful example of architectural design.

Around the circular stage, twelve zones are evenly distributed. We were led to sit down in an area identified as "Susa". Airi was in front, and the four of us sat side by side behind Airi in the order of appearance of Kokoko Sakura, me, Yui, and Hitomi.

The other areas belong to the Yiyu and Ohara tribes. Each tribe is also a gorgeously dressed young heroine, and behind her are four scantily clad "spirit slaves" like us.

Outside, there is the rostrum and the auditorium. Except for the dozen or so dignitaries on the rostrum who seemed to be more prominent, there were not many spectators in the ordinary audience around them. The spectator seats were already around the stage, and each had a circle of guards with weapons in their hands.

I silently calculated in my heart that there were 60 people in the team, 30 people on the rostrum and the audience, and 40 guards. Combined, there were about 130 people in the field.

So, how many of these one hundred and thirty are enemies and how many are friends? Because I couldn't use my spiritual sense, my heart became more and more bottomless.

The host claims to be from the Izumo Iyu clan. After introducing the participating tribes and guests, he announced the opening of the competition. The first is the Shenmen to the Nengyi tribe.

My mind slowly withdrew from my surroundings and gradually went deeper into the game. The tournament is a full round-robin format, with a total of 66 matches. Each team competes eleven times, with an average of two per day.

We were placed in the fourth game of the morning, against the Rindo tribe. It took us less than two quarters of an hour to finish the race. The four of them won the victory. There was applause all around.

In the afternoon, we were scheduled for the second session. Everything is calm, maybe nothing will happen?

In this game, our opponent is Shenmen. In the first game, Xin Sakura was a little struggling. It took nearly a quarter of an hour to knock his opponent down.

"Please get ready for the second player on both sides!" Moderator tips.

I got up and nodded to Yui and Hitomi, and walked over to the stage.

As soon as I walked to the edge of the stage, I suddenly noticed that the expression of Shin Sakura, who was still on the stage, was wrong. She was about to run off the stage when she was suddenly grabbed by her opponent behind her.

What does this mean? No, there is a situation!

I jerked away and turned around. I saw Yui holding a short sword and stabbing Airi in front of her from behind.

My heart almost threw up. The assassin who assassinated Airi was Yui, and she had apparently calculated that she was going to strike while me and Kokosakura were both on the field, and Airi was unaware at the moment.

It's too late, it's too soon. Seeing this, Hitomi next to him immediately pounced on Yui and blocked Airi with his body. However, she was not Yui's opponent with her bare hands, and where could she block Yui's blade. A few feet away, I could clearly see that Yui's short sword pierced Hitomi's abdomen with a sword, and then immediately pulled it out. Blood splattered out.

I lunged forward, only to be stopped by two warriors on the sidelines. I knocked them out with two punches in the air. There were more samurai gathered ahead.

I jumped up and flew into the air. Seeing that the pupil below was dragging Yui tightly, and Yui was stabbed twice in the chest, and finally fell in a pool of blood. At this time, Airi had already run two feet away, but he was caught up by Yui, and the sword was within reach.

In a flash, I only heard the sound of breaking the sky, and the Jade Void Short Sword had already appeared in my hand.

I kicked on the pillar and swung my sword in the air. A bloody streak appeared on Yui's body, and the whole person fell to the ground.

I fell to Airi's side. Airi was already at a loss. Yui rolled over, her eyes red, "Nezha! "Keep stabbing me with your sword.
