After learning of the Nolan Clan's conspiracy, Cheruth didn't sleep well all night, but fortunately, after the Wind Elemental Tournament, there were three days left for the players to adjust their state for the second half of the Earth Elemental Round-robin Tournament, so in any case, Cheruth, who was also a temporary decision, finally had one last day to rest.

After counting the days, after the last day of the off-season, the Earth Element Single Round-Robin Tournament and the Freshman Tournament alternate the next day, each holding three rounds of matches, so that it is a six-day schedule, followed by the seventh day to settle the total points, if there is a tie in the situation, there will be a temporary extra match between the teams with the same score to determine the final ranking, and on the eighth day, the final closing ceremony of the four-house competition, and the evening after the closing ceremony, it is a consolation dinner for the teams of each college hosted by Garnes.

There is still more than a week to go.

On the last day of the off-season, the wolf girl still did not go back to the academy to participate in activities with her teammates, but stayed in her own small room on the second floor of the fruit shop for a whole day. Grey Wind and Nanoha were very worried about entering the room to check on the status of a certain wolf girl, worried that she would be a little psychologically difficult because of Xingxi's previous interrogatory words, or because she was a little sorry for Sekaria for her decision this time, but every time they entered Cheruth's room under the pretext of bringing tea and water, they always responded with a smile that seemed normal and was as cute as usual, but inexplicably made them feel reckless. In the face of such a Cheruth, I don't know why they were suddenly pushed back by the smiling face when they prepared a stomach, except for telling Cheruth to rest well and not think too much, they didn't know what else to say.

Helo was very open-minded. After listening to the worried Grey Wind and Nanoha talk about what had happened in the past few days. Sister Virtuous Wolf slowly flicked her tail while groaning and nibbling the apple in her hand. Then comfort Grey Wind and Nanoha for two humanes:

"It's okay, to be honest, since the slave family left the Warcraft Forest, they have traveled almost all over the continent in the past few hundred years, but the slave family has really never seen a child like Xiaobai...... It's strange, instead of worrying about whether she can figure it out, you should worry about what you will do when she figures it out, after all, Xiaobai's child sometimes thinks really differently from us normal people. ”

That being said. However, Grey Wind and Nanoha didn't have a chance to worry about whether their sister (best friend) would really figure it out in a strange direction like Helo, because just as Helo had finished saying this, Cheruth, who had been smothering at the door of her room all day, came down from the upper floor.

"I've heard it all, oh Sister Helo! Speaking ill of people behind your back is not something that a great Virtuous Wolf should do. ”

"Allah, the slave family is not saying bad things about anyone, in fact, it is different many times with praise, and the slave family is definitely praising you."

"Do you dare to touch your conscience and speak, Lord Virtuous Wolf?"

"I hate it~ The slave family doesn't remember teaching Xiao Bairu to casually order others to touch their **** in front of everyone~"

"Hey, let's not say that this sentence is completely a conventional analogy, just talk about you! As a virtuous wolf and an elder, how can you cultivate your temperament! There are three children with pure hearts like little white flowers!"

"Ignore your spoiling adjectives...... Generally speaking, after learning to emphasize his identity as a child, the slave family thinks that you can already be regarded as a very competent adult. ”

“...... What the hell is that......"

In any case, looking at Cheruth, who had been in trouble with Harrow, Grey Wind and Nanoha's hearts finally relaxed, well, it was still the usual Cheruth who was always lively around her. As for what Harrow said. What the hell did Chelus figure out...... Actually, it doesn't matter what she figured out, anyway, no matter what Cheruth wants to do, they will always follow her, right~

#论坚实后盾与助纣为虐之间的潜在关系#――

The next day. The second half of the four-court competition started as scheduled.

Different from the first half of the competition, the second half of the competition has only one theme element, that is, the earth element, and the teams of each college are no longer four teams competing at the same time, but are divided into two non-repeating combinations every day to catch and fight.

The entire arena of the Earth Elemental Tournament is divided into two by the almost impenetrable High Enchantment, with an earth-stone fortress entirely composed of Earth Elemental in the center of the arena on either side of the barrier, and the game is a race between attack and defense, and the two teams on the field are divided into a two-member defensive group and a four-member offensive group according to the rules. The two teams' defensive teams are stationed in two forts, while the offensive team swaps the field, and after the match starts, they have to do their best to attack the fort guarded by the other team's defensive group, and the team that is the first to break the core hedron in the opposing team's fortress wins.

Since there will inevitably be a magical confrontation between the players, the body protection teleportation mechanism is naturally essential, and the players who have broken the body protection barrier will be temporarily teleported to the teleportation point at the end of their respective offensive or defensive fields just like the wind elemental match, and wait for the body protection barrier to be restored before they can continue to enter the battlefield.

In order to facilitate the defense of the defense team, ten small magic float cannons are assigned to each of the two fortresses at specific locations, these magic guide float cannons have a poor rate of fire, but their power is only a little lower than that of ordinary high-level magic, and it only takes two shots to accept the fire of the floating cannons without any defensive measures, which is enough to clear a player's body protection barrier and have to return to the teleportation point of their respective teams to count the seconds.

These float cannon devices have a mechanism similar to the player's body teleportation barrier, and if the barrier generator on board the float cannon is no longer able to maintain the barrier due to a certain amount of attack, the float cannon will immediately be teleported to the teleportation point of the defense group inside the fortress and can no longer be used in battle. However, the floating cannon that has broken in the enchantment generator can be repaired and "resurrected" again, and of course this is the job of the magicians.

At the same time, although the initial position and firing angle of these floating cannons are fixed, these can be adjusted and operated by remotely modifying the sequence of control runes in the control center inside the fortress. Of course. This kind of adjustment and operation is much more difficult than attacking the undefended magic circle with a rune sequence in the first Water Elemental Match. Everything depends on the skills of the leaders of each team.

The schedule is arranged, the first 35 days are the two pairs between the four teams of the freshman competition, and the second 46th day is the four teams of the main competition to catch each other, the order of the game is the main game and the freshman competition are determined by drawing lots, and the winner of each game will add two points to the total points, and the loser will not add points.

The first day of the Earth Elemental Round-Robin is a freshman tournament and follows the results of the draw. The Loris Freshmen team will play the Biggar Freshmen first, while the Solan Seminary Freshmen will face the Meteor Castle Freshmen in the second match.

Before the game even started, the crowd was already boiling, and in today's two matches, the one between Solan and Meteor Castle was obviously nothing to watch, but the freshman match between Lloris and Digakar could be expected to be the most exciting of the freshman round-robin.

Without him, the freshman team of Digakar Academy took great pains in the arrangement of team members in advance, giving up the place of the fire element and replacing Ai, a talent of both water and earth, so that the team had the advantage of two home players in both the water element competition and the earth element competition. The Water Elemental Tournament is due to the excellent performance of Cheruth. As a result, the dual-water magician lineup on Digakar's side did not play the desired effect and won the first place in the unit competition, and this time. Digakar Academy also has a double earth-based magician lineup in the earth element field, and on the side of the Loris National Academy, although the wind magic of Chelus has been suppressed, the wolf girl who is the leader of the magic guide can still play a huge role in defense from the point of view of the rules, and the battle situation between the two sides is like a copy of the water element competition.

Whether it is the double home advantage of Digakar Academy's wizard lineup that is superior, or Lloris's side once again relying on the strong magic strength of Cheruth to turn the tide on the defensive end, the audience is quite expecting.

Due to the limited playing field, only one duel can be played at a time. The organisers didn't want to whet the appetite of the spectators, and the first match was between the Loris National College Freshmen and the Digakar College Freshmen.

In the first three minutes of the tournament, the teams decided on their offensive and defensive groups and went to their respective positions to get ready. On the side of Loris National College, Langton originally expected that he and Cheruth would go to the defensive group, and then the rest would go to the offensive group, but this division of labor was vetoed by Cheruth with one vote.

"Well, if it's a team with you, the captain who is good at defensive magic and has environmental bonuses, I do have the confidence to guarantee that even if the other party sends all the two earth mages to the offensive group, we can still hold without pressure, but the problem is that the offensive group is ......"

With that, Cheruth expertly flew out a small look and killed Robert the bear child who wanted to jump out and say something different, such as "You underestimate Master Ben's offensive ability", and then went on to suggest to Langton.

"From the previous games, it is clear that the Digaka Academy freshmen don't like a risky game plan, despite having an advantage in the number of Earth Mages with environmental bonuses, Earth Magic itself is not known for attacking, plus ...... Although it may not be a bit like what I said myself, the other party would definitely guess that I would put considerable pressure on the attacking side in the defensive group with the advantage of the Wizard's strength, so it is unlikely that they will press both Earth Mages in the offensive group, but will most likely be arranged in this way. Captain, you're an earth mage, and you know very well how difficult it can be for an earth mage to let go and go all out on defense in this kind of earth elemental environment, especially since the person in our team other than me who has the most pure firepower is the less athletic Charnove-Robert, if you dare to speak, I'm going to beat you up now- Once the earth-based mage on the opponent's defensive end works the terrain change, it is very simple to be able to block our strongest firepower point on the offensive end, and when the time comes to enter a protracted battle, then the outcome is really difficult to say. ”

Cheruth's words won the approval of her teammates, and finally the final result was discussed, the defensive group was led by Cheruth and Elena, and the offensive group was the four elements in charge.

Elena, as a trainee qualified magic guide technician certified by the Magic Guide Association, although the strength of magic guidance engineering is still half-baked, it is enough to give Cheruth a hand, and Elena's field of magic guidance engineering happens to be magic crystal engineering, so that Cheruth can be regarded as able to concentrate on long-range floating gun command work, and the maintenance aspect is handed over to Elena.

And on the offensive side, there is Langton, a guy who has been focusing on defense for a hundred years, plus although he is not good at water recovery magic, he can use a few of them, so he is half a nurse Robert, so Elena's healing assistance is not so necessary, and even the strategy method Cheruth has thought about it for his friends, and the little wolf uses the speed of the wind system to try to contain the other party, while Langton and Robert are trying their best to protect the unathletic Charnove, and the latter has only one task for the whole game...... Throw all of the strongest attacks onto the opponent's fortress with the fastest efficiency.

After deciding on the division of labor, Cherus and Elena temporarily separated from the other four and went to the dirt and stone fortress on the left side of the center of the arena. Along the way, feeling the inexplicable sense of weight hidden in the air brought by the thick earth element, Chelus couldn't help but sigh in her heart, maybe her wind magic was really not as reliable as the magic method this time.

The four elements have a hidden restraint with each other, water and fire, and terroir, and for this kind of environment full of stagnation, it is obvious that the most suppressed is the wind magic of free form.

Soon, just as Cheruth was in front of the console in the fortress, and had some ideas about how to control the position and direction of the ten floating batteries around her, Elena who was standing on the fortress wall turned her head and shouted to Cheruth, and the attack team of the Digakar Academy was already standing by behind the attack field in front of their fortress. Sure enough, there was no male student in charge of the earth element in Digakar Academy among the members of the opposing offensive team, only Xiao Ai, Yalan from the water department, Selena from the wind department, and a boy who should be in charge of the auxiliary role.

“...... The players have already entered, and the Earth Element Round-Robin Tournament is a battle between the two at the beginning, which side can get the second half of the round-robin event off to a good start!"

Host Cook had already started the final warm-up before the official start of the game, while Cheruth used the levitation technique to fly to the top of the fortress wall, and from a distance, Xiao Ai seemed to be waving happily at her on the other side.

So she happily beckoned back~~

“...... We saw that the players on the field were already ready to fight at the moment...... Ahem, full of fighting spirit and politeness......"

Moderator: Uncle Ma Dan is obviously working hard here to create a fierce pre-war atmosphere that renders the fateful duel, and his voice is hoarse, but the atmosphere is directly ruined by two cute people waving in public! )
