Chapter 106: Before the War
After the first month of the new year, the battle for promotion between the Flower Magic Academy and the Mangrove Magic Academy officially began.
At the beginning of the battle, all research mages who were not affiliated with both houses were forcibly removed from the campuses of the colleges. The entire college space has been greatly expanded, and the inner campus space has been expanded at least tenfold. Outside the campus, there is a grassland flat land that has been temporarily transferred, and there is no edge in sight, and there is no shadow of a hostile college.
The temporary management system of the battle for the academy has taken over the integrated management system of the two academies of the academy space, and all participants are routinely notified of the precautions for the battle.
The most central position of the large meadow space between the two academies was separated by a huge energy barrier that led high into the sky. Members of both sides have 5 hours to prepare and make arrangements. After 5 hours, the central barrier will be removed, and the temporary management system will place two flags representing the college as tokens of contention in the center of the two campuses.
These two flags cannot be moved, and their location can be queried by all combatants at any time. As long as a member of one academy succeeds in capturing the opponent's flag, the battle in this layer is declared over, and the academy that captures the opponent's flag will receive one point.
The scramble lasts a maximum of five days, and after five days neither side captures the opposing flag, the battle for space ends in a draw with no points scored.
Xi Rui was unlucky this time, and he didn't know where the temporary management system of the battle saw that he was strong, so he directly arranged him to the battle area of the third layer of the space world.
The third layer of the space world is full of academic mages with the titles of teaching assistants and senior teaching assistants, and the teaching assistant-level academic mages generally have the personal strength of the archmage level, using level 7 and level 8 strength level spells, and the senior teaching assistant is the ultimate archmage strength, and can use level 9 spells.
Most of the spells recorded in Xiri's [Fortress] are spells below level 6, and spells of this level pose little threat to the enemy in the third layer of the space world, and only the multi-system compound spells in it can reach level 7 spell power, and the [earth] [water] [wind] [fire] all compound spells can barely reach level 8 spell power.
In this case, not counting the hole cards, Ciri can basically play the role of an ordinary archmage at most in the battle for this layer of space, and it basically has no impact on the overall operation. Originally, with the power of Xirui's [Fortress], if it was placed in the area where the high-level magicians of the second-layer space world were located, it would definitely win a point for the academy, but there was no such possibility in the third-layer high-strength space.
No matter how much Ciri complained in his heart, since the temporary management system had already teleported him here, it was impossible for him to be transferred alone, and he could only silently accept this outcome.
As soon as everyone teleported, they rushed to their own combat areas according to the pre-plan, preparing to complete the combat objectives. After a while, Xi Rui also received a contact message from the auxiliary team specially arranged by the Standing Council of the Academy in the third dimensional world.
Ciri conveyed his location to the other party through the [Ace Channeling Technique], and soon a team of mages from the Elemental Academy came to him.
The leader of this team is an older male senior teaching assistant, judging from the way he is dressed, he should be a defensive ultimate archmage who specializes in land, water-based elemental and wood composite magic, and is the same as Associate Professor's training department, maybe it is someone arranged by Bird.
There were also two middle-aged male mages and a younger female mage in the team. Of the two middle-aged male mages, one was burly and sharp-eyed, looking more like a warrior than a mage in appearance. Judging from the outfit, it should be a defensive archmage with the same training class as the lead mage.
The other one seems to be more in line with the image of an academic mage in the eyes of ordinary people, Si Swenwen, who is relatively thin. This mage should be majoring in the two basic magic elements of wind and earth and the sand-based composite magic element. Mages who major in the three systems of wind, earth, and sand tend to be auxiliary in controlling the field, and this one must be no exception.
The remaining young female mage should be majoring in water, wind, and ice combined magic. The female mage was a little younger than the rest of the group, and of course, much older than Ciri. Mages who major in water, wind, and ice are generally equally biased towards field control and defense.
Normally, a full elemental magic squad shouldn't be staffed like theirs. Most of the normal elemental magic teams have only one member who is more defensive, one mage member who is more support and control, and there are many other elemental mage members who are more offensive.
The members of the Standing Council clearly attached great importance to Ciri's own safety, and although there were no deaths in the battle for promotion, injuries were inevitable. The support team sent by the Standing Council to Ciri are all defensive and control mages, and the team leader is a full defensive mage like "Old Turtle" Bird, which is enough to show that the other council members are trying to ensure that Ciri is not injured.
At the same time, there is no team member who is biased towards the offensive type, so as to prevent Ciri from using the strength of the group to rush into the enemy's hinterland and cause danger. The meaning of the Standing Council is to let Xiri find a place to guard the soy sauce, and not rush into any dangerous places to avoid injury.
Ciri pouted as soon as he saw such a team configuration, and the other council members were embarrassed to talk to him directly, and going around was just to let him stay in the back and watch the show honestly. However, these guys are not bad to him, and it is enough to see that they value Ciri very much when the battle for promotion in the academy is so important.
When the Elemental Team arrived, they introduced themselves. The senior assistant mage who led the team was named Aldrich, the tall and strong assistant was Morton, the other male assistant was named Hayden, and the remaining female assistant was Olena. Ciri also briefly introduces himself to the others, and they all know each other, and in the next period of time, they will become partners in the same squad.
In the team, only the leader Aldrich knew the identity of Ciri's director, and the others only learned that Ciri belonged to the newly built [Logic Module] department, and from the academy's high-level arrangement, several of them and even senior teaching assistants like Aldrich were arranged to protect Ciri, and everyone also saw some clues, but they didn't expect that Ciri was actually the same as the associate professor-level figure fighting in the fourth layer of the Void World Space, and belonged to the top administrator of the Blossom Academy.
After the meeting of the several men, Aldrich handed over the command of the team to Ciri. Ciri didn't take them to the rear to find a place to defend honestly, but rushed directly to the front line area with the team.
For this battle for the promotion of the academy, Ciriko spent a lot of time, energy, and wealth. Although the temporary management system arranged him to the third dimensional world, so that Ciri could not rely on the [fortress] to run amok, he was still unwilling to stay in the rear honestly.
Now Ciri is rushing to the front line to test the true power of the [Fortress]. If you can get rid of a few members of the other party, you must not let your hard work during this time be in vain.
