As she made her way down the last section of the tunnel toward the center of the arena, Cheruth was also watching the live broadcast from the host's side.

Xiao Ai of Digakar Academy and Thunder Rak, the Flame Saint of Solan Academy, seem to be about to reach the fifth level, and most of the progress of the others is stuck in the third level, after all, although the huge mutant slime is not very aggressive, the slimy gelatinous body is indeed difficult to deal with.

So, once you're in the middle of the ring, what's next for you?

...... Ranked by the length of time it takes for all players to reach the center of the field, the winner belongs to the strongest team...... Well, it seems that these otherworldly magicians like to play with words like this.

When Cheruth thought like this, it suddenly dawned in front of her, she had already walked out of the exit of her passage, in front of her was a small circular square, the exits of the twenty-four passages were evenly distributed at the edge of the square, and in the middle of the square, the four square water elemental arrays overlapped at the point where the corners of the four square water elemental arrays coincided, and the four magicians stood facing each side in a meditative posture, dutifully supporting the magic supply of the large array they were responsible for.

Seeing Cheruth walk out of the passage, the middle-aged female magician who was supporting the large array on Loris's side smiled at her.

"Congratulations, you're the first student to get here. ”

Before the start of the game, Captain Langton had already told them that the magicians who supported the water elemental array on the periphery were either teachers from the academy's magic department, or members of the royal magic senior advisory group temporarily borrowed from the royal family, almost all of them were senior five-star elite warlocks, so Cheruth also quickly sorted out her expression and bowed respectfully to the four magicians standing in the center. Then hesitated slightly. I spoke in a very polite tone.

"Excuse me...... These are the exits to the passage, right?"

Hearing the word "exit" in Cheruth's words, the smile on the female magician's face became more and more kind.

"That's right, the passage where all twenty-four contestants entered, and the exits all converged here, and your teammates must be heading this way through the five passages on either side of you. ”

When Cheruth saw the smile on the female magician's face, her guess was suddenly settled.

"So...... Now that I've passed the five tests I'm supposed to face, I've reached the center of the ring. That means I'm free to do something else, right?"

"Of course, this game is based on the full team member...... That is, the time it takes for the last player to pass the fifth level to calculate the ranking of the four teams, and the first student to pass the fifth level has already completed the task you should have completed in the game," said the female magician, who winked at Cheruth as if jokingly. So from now on, I can sit here and wait for my teammates to arrive, and although I haven't been lucky enough to see how you've behaved along the way, it seems that you've worked hard since you arrived here first, and you'll be able to get everyone's approval anyway. ”

Cheruth smiled obediently.

"Thanks for the advice. But as a part of the Lorris Freshman team, I thought I might have to contribute to my team before I rested, because ...... 'the strongest team wins', doesn't it?"

That's right, victory belongs to the strongest team, and in this water element competition, the test is not the individual, but the strength of the entire team.

However, judging by the rules that the host said at the beginning. But it doesn't match the statement in the prompt at all. Each person walks through a passage alone, and the ranking is based on the time when all members of the team pass through the passage. If you think about it carefully, you will understand that such a ranking has nothing to do with the overall strength of the team at all, but is just a contest between the four players with the worst individual strength of each team.

And although the five levels along the way are easy for Cheruth to break through, she should not be considered a normal "genius girl" from all angles. For a human young genius of a normal age, the five levels in the Water Elemental Competition are actually not too difficult, and even the magic guide and support leaders of each team except for Cheruth only rely on their own strength. There may be a few people who may not be able to successfully break through the five levels. At that time, there is no way to judge the winner or loser.

So it occurred to Cheruth from the beginning that there must be a loophole in the rules, or that the rules announced by the host at the beginning were not all the rules, which hid some important information that could be exploited, and the seemingly nonsense prompt from the night before. It is used to alert the players to the existence of this hidden message.

With this in mind, Cheruth smiled politely again at the magician woman standing in the center facing her, and then walked to the exit of the passage next to her without hesitation.

As long as you can understand the existence of hidden information, it is easy to find the flaw if you revisit the rules that the moderator said.

"Each team's six players can only walk through one passage when entering the formation from the entrance...... When the host said that "only one person can walk through one passage", he specially added a very eye-catching phrase -- "when entering the large array from the entrance".

So, if a team member breaks through the five checkpoints in his own passage and then enters the passage where there is already a person in the middle of the arena through the exit of the other passage, will he break the rules?

Cheruth stepped into the exit of the nearby passage, and confidently walked towards the fifth exit of the passage.

"'Victory belongs to the strongest team'!" Cheruth, who was the first to reach the center of the arena, entered the passage of her teammates next to her, and she cracked the hidden information of the match!"

The host's voice echoed in the arena, the smile on Cheruth's face became more and more pleasant, the wolf girl flicked her tail and sped up her pace, and soon came to the fifth level of this passage, and stepped into the realm of the fifth level without hesitation, but unlike when she broke through the level just now, this time the center of the tide floating in the realm of the fifth level did not react. There was no sign of Tidal Activation.

The player who completes his or her five levels first can reverse the exit into other passages to help his teammates, which is the unspoken rule of this water elemental competition. Now it seems that breaking into the obstacle level area from the opposite should not cause the magic circle in the obstacle level to start the action, and you still have to enter the level from the front of the level in the normal direction.

Remember that when entering the Great Array at the entrance, the person who chose the passage next to her should be...... That guy shouldn't be able to bother her in the first and second levels, but in the third level...... I'm afraid it will take some time. After all, that chronic guy isn't good at head-on combat.

Thinking like this, Cheruth trotted to the entrance of the fifth level of the passage where Shanov was, and then turned around and entered the fifth level range from the entrance again, and sure enough, this time the center of the tide had a reaction, and a small wave of water elemental ripples emanated from the center of the tide, obviously the tide spell had been activated.

Cheruth quickly entered the rune sequence of weakening the tide spell and strengthening the enchantment on the magic guide board at the entrance, as she had just done on her side, and then turned around and left the level area, letting the tide that had already begun to hit the unattended barrier wave after wave, and she headed for the fourth level.

Anyway, the seven tidal shocks will not stop halfway as long as they start to start. There are runes that are set up and entered by themselves.,Even if no one guards the tide seven times, it's impossible to destroy the enchantment.,The fifth level will naturally be completed if you leave it like this for a while.。

After reaching the fourth level, Cheruth ignored the declaration in the stands that "let's dance with Shanoff's classmates again" was not a big deal, and decisively used the rune sequence interference on the magic guide input board to destroy most of the Spring Surge magic arrays on the ground, but she was not worried about the water cannon technique, after all, that thing was not as imperceptible as the Spring Technique, and it was easy to crack.

Then again. What the hell is that Shanoff guy doing? Even if he wasn't good at fighting, he shouldn't have delayed for so long in the face of a giant slime that didn't have any effective means of attack other than spitting glue, right?

With doubts in mind, Cheruth continued deeper into the third level of the passage. I saw that the huge mutant slime had obviously received some damage much smaller than the original state, but at this moment there was no sign of battle here, the slime was very quietly spread in the middle of the passage and gently absorbed the water element, and in the place near the entrance of the third level in front of the slime......

...... There is a blonde soft cute girl who is generously drying welfare.

I don't know where the shoes on one foot were lost, the white bubble socks were in a half-faded state, and the white and tender calves were clearly visible. Even because the robe was a little messily rolled up, even the graceful thighs were faintly exposed. His legs were folded and curled up, his upper body was lying on his back, his arms crossed in front of his chest, his blonde hair was scattered on the ground, and his whole body was covered with wet and slimy viscous liquid. The college's standard magic robe was tightly attached to the body because it was wet, showing the girl's well-developed figure, and the girl's face was embarrassed and pitiful, with an absolutely weak and bully unguarded image that anyone could pack and take home directly.

"Ah~Chelus-chan~ You're finally here, help me, I can't beat it......"

"You can't beat a ghost! Before you say that, you should stand up and beat me, hey! Are you here for the competition or for the interview, the soul of the heroine is faint and natural! Read me the atmosphere of the scene, the atmosphere of the scene!"

"Ahh......hh I wanted to stand up too, but the mucus that the kid spat out was so bad that my hair was stuck to the ground, and I was trying to get up and say......"

Because he entered the realm from the reverse, the slime just watched Cheruth vigilantly but did not take the initiative to attack, Cheruth came all the way to Shanov, who was lying on the ground, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard her words.

"My hair was stuck to the ground...... Although this slime has been mutated by magic, it is not that sticky, is it?"

"Hey, hey...... I was accidentally hit by this kid several times in a row, but oh~ I almost defeated this kid, if it wasn't for the last time the kid spit out the water balloon that was too big and knocked me down, I would have destroyed the kid's magic core. ”

"Hey...... You're not going to stand still and start fighting this guy with your magic as soon as you get to the third level, right?"

"Huh, how do you know that?"

Looking at Shanoff's sparkling eyes, Cheruth couldn't help but feel a pain in her temples.

In fact, considering that the participants are all magicians who are generally not too physically qualified, the attack speed of this slime spit out the viscose ball is really not fast, it is really ......

“...... So, this is an actual battle, not a practice of hitting a magic target, so you can move me a few steps, you idiot off the line!"

More than half an hour later, as the three members of the team in the last passage of Meteor Castle walked out of the exit with a disillusioned face, the host Cook officially announced the end of the Freshman Race of the Water Element Race on the loudspeaker.

Because the first player to complete the five-level breakthrough Chelus immediately after completing the breakthrough broke the potential rules of the game and returned to the big formation to help his teammates, so the second and third players who broke through the five-level Relke and Ai did not hesitate, and immediately turned around and began to help their teammates break through. And the speed of the players of the three academies has also increased rapidly.

The first place to pass through the big formation was naturally the first to pass through the big formation, and the Loris National Academy team was the first to pass through the big formation, but the second place academy team was very surprisingly not the Solan Academy team that made people feel strong because of Relker's presence at the beginning of the game, but the Digakar Academy team with Ai and Yalan, two water magicians who were like fakes, sat in the whole team.

After all, Digakar Academy has always been known for its magic skills and theories related to water magic, and even other magician students who are not water are more or less familiar with these water magics, and they are obviously much more experienced than students from other academies. Although the Solan Academy team has reached the four-star Rayrk, but after all, Rayrk's fire magic is most weakened by the water element array, and at the critical juncture of the final competition for the second place, Rayke has shown a decline because of the continuous use of fire high-level magic all the way to the time, and finally the Bright Academy was overtaken by the Digakar Academy, and fell to third place by a slight difference.

As for Meteor Castle, as expected, there were no leaders like Cheruth, Relke, and Ai, who were behind the other three houses from the start to the end of the game, and eventually became the bottom team.

In the end, the four freshman teams gathered in the center of the field after the game, and after the host Cook announced the results and points of the game, he went off the break amid the cheers of the audience.

As they stepped off the field and into the inner hallway of the arena, everyone on the Loris Freshmen team breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and then laughed happily at each other.

In the first game, they won!
