If this is a purely bloody work, then this chapter will naturally focus on the battle for the second and third places mentioned at the end of the previous chapter.

After all, the setting of Xiao Ai and Rayke knows at a glance that they are the kind of genius and strong people of the same era as the protagonist, and friends and partners will have a fateful duel in the future...... For this duel between two people because it is related to the honor ranking in the four-academy competition, they will inevitably give all their strength to go all out, although it will not be as heavy as the scene with the protagonist appearing, but at least there will be some necessary descriptions, which can be regarded as the last performance of the two people in this four-academy competition.

However, it is a pity...... This article is not a hot-blooded theme, but a joyful and cute direction.

So after such a wonderful duel between you and me, the final match of the Earth Elemental Freshman Round-robin on the fifth day between Digakar Academy and Solan Bright Academy ended with the victory of Digakar Academy~

- Hey, even if you want to skip it, at least write it carefully!

―――――――――――――― (here is the dividing line where the author's bacteria are dragged out of the sauce brewing)――――――――――――――

Because they knew the importance of the last game of the freshman competition, in this game, both the Solan Bright Academy freshmen team led by Rayke and the Digakar Academy led by these two earth magicians did their best to conduct a literal all-out duel.

Solan Illuminating Academy's offensive and defensive distribution is the same as always, with the only earth mage on the team stationed at the fortress with the mage in charge, and the attacker led by Relk.

The Digakar Academy's attack power on Relk had obviously been predicted for a long time, and this time, the Digakar Academy's lineup of garrisoning the fortress on the defensive side exceeded everyone's expectations before the game, and they actually assigned Xiao Ai, the most advantageous point in the team, and another earth magician to the defender at the same time...... Two earth-based magicians with magic bonuses in the Earth Elemental Arena defend against the attacks of the Solan Academy.

It seemed that the firepower of the attacking group had been sacrificed, so that the only real main attackers there were only water mage Arlan and wind mage Selena, but in fact, after seeing the Digakar Academy send such a lineup in this game, most of the high-level personnel in the wizarding world who were watching the game quickly woke up to the fact that the Digakar Academy had won this game.

Because in this game, there are two earth mages who have received environmental bonuses and ten floating cannons stationed on the earth and stone fortress on the side of Digakar Academy, there is no possibility that it will be captured by a four-person attack group on Solan's side without an earth mage, although Solan attack group has Relke, but after all, this is an earth element arena and not a fire element arena.

The freshman team of Digakar Academy, from the personnel layout of the opening game, is already destined to be invincible, as for the offensive side, although only the two main attack points of Yalan and Selena are a little difficult, but the earth magician on the other side is not at the level of Xiao Ai or Rayke, so it is completely a chance to win.

And the game went exactly as these people expected, and the two sides were in a stalemate on two battlefields for 40 minutes. Xiao Ai and his earth-based teammates have received environmental bonuses of earth-based defensive magic and inexhaustible magical power, which simply makes Relke and them more painful than when they faced the combination of Cheruth and Langton two days ago, and here in the offensive group of Digakar Academy, Arlan and Selena have no way to deal with the earth-based magician of the Solan team under the interference of the floating cannon, so they have to consume the protective enchantment durability of the floating cannon outside the city little by little, and their teammates, the two boys in charge of the magic guide and the auxiliary leader, in addition to being two quiet beautiful men in the place where the floating cannon outside the fortress misses, occasionally add blood to their cute paper teammates, and there is nothing else that can be done.

Finally in the fortieth minute, Selena finally found an opportunity on the field where Digakar was attacking, taking advantage of the fact that Yalan on the ground attracted the attention of the earth magician of Solan's new team on the fortress, and suddenly attacked and killed the opponent, and then cooperated with Yalan The two of them, as the main force of defense, before the earth magician was resurrected again, he stormed the opponent's earth and stone fortress, and got rid of the Solan magic guide who was operating the floating cannon in the fortress, and finally ended this long and protracted battle.

In this way, the Earth Elemental Round-Robin ended the fifth day of the event, and although there was still a one-point gap between the third-place Digakar Academy and the second-place Solan Academy in the overall standings, everyone knew that the battle for second and third place had reversed. If the Solan Academy team can't upset the powerful host Loris team in tomorrow's game, then in the end, Solan Academy can only be overtaken by Digacar College and relegated to the third place in this four-house competition.

Regardless of the mixed feelings between Digakar Academy and Solan Academy after the fifth day of competition, for the two teams of Lloris and Meteor Castle, the four-house match is now a big deal for them in terms of rankings. Especially on Lloris's side, the first place in the points has been booked, and the journey of the freshman team has come to an end, and all the team needs to think about is how to give a final performance to the home audience in the last game, and everyone can be described as relaxed and happy.

Except for Cheruth.

As the closing ceremony of the Four Houses Tournament approached, the pressure on the wolf girl's heart became more and more intense, and since that day, Xingxi's side has never taken the initiative to contact them, according to their previous agreement, which means that Nolan's plan has not changed.

Three days later, in the evening, at the end of the four-house tournament, the Nolan clan was about to launch an assassination operation against the Solan viewing group, and she had to use herself to drop Sekaria before the dinner party, replace her as a victim of the Nolan conspiracy, and secretly protect her father's inheritance for Sekaria.

Cheruth didn't know if she was doing the right thing, and even in recent days, as the date of the Nolan Clan's plan approached, she often felt a little unconsciously weak when she saw Sekaria.

Should she really promise Xingxi to help them in this way...... Although as long as his plan succeeds, then in terms of results, he not only protects Sekaria, but also helps the current King of Loris to repel Prince Naris's rebels, and when the time comes, the job of quelling the rumors spread in the rebellion will naturally be presided over by the royal family of Loris and carried out easily, and he has actually made a positive contribution to Loris and Sekaria, but ......

...... This does not hide that she will indeed help the Nolan people to blame Loris in the process.

Pretend to be Sekaria to go for a walk and blame Loris for rumors, and then regain her identity as a savior...... Cerus suddenly felt that Xingxi was really not wrong about what she said, she really ...... She always looks at the world in a naïve way, she always wants to let everything go according to her heart, and she always does what she thinks is right...... No, something that I feel at ease with.

Several times, when they were greeted by Sekaria and others in the stands after the game, or when Sekaria and others went to their freshman team to condole after the game, seeing Sekaria's happy smile when she saw her beautiful face, Cheruth almost subconsciously wanted to tell her everything.

But she never ...... Why? Because she agreed to Xingxi, because she felt indebted to Nolan for her Nolan talent, because she felt that it was not in her own life values and aesthetics to expose a group of people who were at least nominally her own kindred, because she didn't want to hurt her other friends and relatives because of the consequences of this incident...... So as a result, is she acting for the sake of Sekaria, or is she acting for the sake of her own peace of mind?

“...... Cheruth, what's wrong with you?"

After the morning game, the Loris freshman team and the main competition team made an appointment to be invited by the student union to have lunch together, and Sekaria, who was walking in the front, looked at the wolf girl who was stunned next to her, and couldn't help but ask.

“...... Well, nothing. ”

"Yes, I always feel like there's something wrong with you......"

Sekaria said, looking back at Langton and the others who were walking behind and talking and laughing with their teammates.

"The freshman race is over so far, and the results are enough to be proud of, and I thought you would be a little more relaxed, if not as excited as they are. ”

Chelus just glanced at Sekaria's pretty face with an undisguised expression of concern for her, and then quickly looked away.

"Ahaha, of course I'm excited and happy, but I'm not young anymore, huh. ”

"Poof, what," Sekaria didn't seem to see that Cheruth was weak, and reached out and gently pinched Cheruth's face very funny, "So you have trained to the point of calm because you have gone through the vicissitudes of life, right? 14-year-old Granny Cheruth?"

The wolf girl moved her wolf ears, and her little face became bitter.

“...... Well, I was wrong, please don't call me 'mother-in-law'......"

Sekaria smiled and let go of the hand that was pinching Cheruth's small face, which seemed to be walking face forward, but the corner of her eye did not leave Cheruth's face.

「...... Cheruth, I don't think there's anything I don't want me to know......

Her Royal Highness the blue-haired princess is more sensitive than Chelus imagined-

Among the three military forces of Arrant City, the real power of the first navy near the port is at sea, and the Guard Fort is not far from Arrant City, but it cannot be ignored, so it is said that the only ones who really guard the Arrant City night and night are the royal guards stationed in the royal city all year round.

There are three regular guard brigades in the Royal Guard, and two independent companies, the Wizard Combat Company and the Battle Mage Company. As the most descendant military force of the Loris royal family, the Royal Guard can naturally be regarded as the most well-equipped and well-equipped troops in Lorris.

In the middle of the night, in front of the palace of Count Capa, the third brigade of the Royal Guard, an uninvited guest appeared in front of the gate.

Covering his figure and face with a black hood and cloak, the visitor raised his hand and did not hesitate to ring the doorbell of the Earl's Palace.

This magic doorbell system is a simple household magic device developed by "Qiu Qi" a year ago, and now it has basically replaced knocking on doors in the homes of people in Loris to become a way to greet customers. Different from ordinary people's homes, such as Earl's Court, the other end of the doorbell is usually in the more remote guard room in the house, so as not to make the doorbell noise to the owner's house who is resting in the house.

The visitor rang the doorbell but did not respond, he was obviously not very patient and did not feel that there was anything wrong with the timing of his visit, and soon pressed it again, this time in a hurry, and quickly and continuously.

Soon, a somewhat angry voice came from the speaker of the doorbell.

"Okay, okay, don't press it, don't press it, ouch, which one is not long-eyed, do you know what kind of place this is, come to the Earl's Court in the middle of the night to find death?

The man lowered his hand and spoke, sounding like a middle-aged man.

"Please inform the Earl, I have an urgent secret order from the royal family!"

There was silence on the doorbell for a moment.

"Huh, the royal decree, this time?"

"That's right, hurry up and open the door!"

The doorman in the house seemed to mumble something in a low voice, but he didn't seem to dare to ignore the words "royal secret order", and finally reluctantly said "Please wait a minute, the villain will go to open the door for the adult" and then hung up the communication.

Soon, the door of the Earl's Court was slowly opened, and a sleepy-eyed gatekeeper who could tell at a glance that he had temporarily put his coat on his body appeared inside the door.

"Ah, the lord from the royal family, please forgive the villain for being rude just now, Lord Earl, he is resting at the moment, please move to the reception room in the mansion to rest for a while, the villain is-"

The gatekeeper suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and there was only a suspicious guy standing in front of the door with his whole body hidden in a black robe, a royal secret order? No, he had been working in the Earl's Court for a few years, and when the royal envoys came to give the lord some orders, weren't the royal envoys who came all dressed luxuriously and luxuriously, and there would be some entourage behind him? How suspicious was this guy in front of him, he couldn't stand up to the appearance of the royal envoy in his impression.

Could it be that this man is a liar looking for trouble?

The gatekeeper's already not very bright brain became more and more sluggish at the moment because he was a little dazed in sleep, and after thinking of such a possibility, he didn't think about anything else, and suddenly pointed at the person in front of him and scolded.

"I'm [beep-], where did you come from, a wild ghost! In the middle of the night, you want to pretend to be a royal envoy here to scare people? Let me tell you, Lao Tzu has also seen a lot of the world, you don't pee to take care of yourself, which one of the real envoys is not uh-"

Before the gatekeeper finished speaking, he was suddenly grabbed by the throat with one hand, and before he could even resist, he was vigorously slammed against the wall next to the door.

"If you still want to live, shut your mouth at once, and lead the way in for me to report to the Earl, and then, forget about tonight and go back to sleep, you know?" )
