The artifact is in hand, and I have the fish pond!

"Let's ...... Not alone! ”

Holding the [Never Air Force Fishing Rod], Harpy was full of pride in his chest, as if he could breathe in the heavens and the earth, dig the sun and the moon, and turn the world upside down, he felt that he was so handsome for the first time!

Just three old human men, dare to compete with our young and strong felines? It's ridiculous!

This [Never Air Force Fishing Rod], also known as the retractable fishing rod, can be long or short, and has excellent flexibility, which was bought by Harpy from Kira a long time ago.

Since he had it, Harpy has been invincible every time he fishes, and he doesn't know how many fish are hanging on the hook, which is a great achievement and a magic weapon for him to conquer the fishing grounds!

In Harpy's opinion, the three old men in front of him were already old and dizzy, how could they recognize the sharp weapon in their hands? As everyone knows, Ogast and Preshito have already seen that the fishing rod in Harpy's hand has a special magic, but they don't know the specific effect.

With the cold sweat dripping down who I don't know, a tense and exciting competition officially began!

"Fishing tournament begins!"

Whoosh ......

With a few soft sounds, the line forms a perfect parabola in the air.

The hook skewered through the bait, and the iron hook sank into the river with a 'winter' sound, stirring up a circle of subtle ripples, and then gradually regained its calm, lurking all the killing machines underwater.

In the next moment, the fisherman and the fishing cat closed their eyes at the same time, their mental power was highly concentrated on the fishing rod in their hands, and all their senses cautiously felt its subtle changes, and the body seemed to be one with nature.

Da ...... Da ...... Da ......

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, only Mebis squatted among the three people and three cats, looking at his petite shadow reflected on the river, a pair of bright big eyes blinking, proving that time was still passing.

……

On the other side, the twelve teams climbed over the hill and crossed the five-kilometer border to their respective hunting grounds.

"Once here, you can move freely!"

Kira looked around and said to Natsu, who was about to erupt in her eyes, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Onward!

”

"Then what kind of monster are you going to hunt?"

"The biggest!

”

Kira: "......"

I knew it! For someone like Natsu, who barely knows how to use his brains, he can't get much hope.

Sighing helplessly, the two continued to walk forward, while Kira began her own teaching at the same time: "Natsu, do you know the purpose of this level? ”

"What's the point?"

Luckily, Natsu can't use his brain, but he can hear.

"If you think back to the rules, the candidate can only shoot once, and this time it must be used on the Warcraft brought back, and whether it is the type of Warcraft or the terrain, we are not familiar with this place, not to mention that there is a three-hour time limit, which means that in addition to luck and strength, this level is mainly to test your reconnaissance, analysis, judgment and calculation skills."

"The most difficult part of the whole process is that we need to scout all the magical beasts that we can encounter within the range as quickly as possible, and analyze which of them has the most parts as ingredients."

"Also take into account the time it takes to fight Warcraft and the time it takes to go back and forth! There are two things to note here, you can't play as hard as you normally would, because we need to go back alive; When you return, you will have a monster with you, so your movement speed will be reduced...... If the time calculation of the whole process is wrong, maybe this time it will be planted! ”

"Uh-huh...... I know! ”

Although he didn't know much about Kira's words, Natsu still assured him that he knew that Kira would not cheat himself in this matter, so he calmly handed over all the places that needed to use his brain to Kira, just like he usually listened to Elusa and Lucy.

You don't know it!

As soon as Kira looked at Natsu's expression, she understood what was going on in his mind.

But it can't be helped, although this is Natsu's assessment, but as a supporter, it is his responsibility to help hunt and analyze the content of the questions - mainly Mebis and Makarov said that the last person to get the S-rank spot, his supporter will also get a mysterious gift.

There are guests from the Western Continent, no matter how shabby Makarov is, it is impossible for him to come to the lake with a bunch of coupons, right?

With this in mind, Kira decided to do her best to help Zonaz become an S-class magician!

"Also, you have to be careful of the other team's people!"

"Nani?! People from other teams? ”

Kira nodded, and began to head into the darkest places: "That's right! If they stay on our way back and target the quest on the Warcraft you've already obtained, it's two-on-one! The two of them beat me one, and you can't make a move, because you've already used up the number of shots against Warcraft! ”

"Eh, eh??!

And so it goes??! ”

Natsu was shocked, and his inverted triangular eyes looked at Kira blankly: Isn't it true that everyone fights a monster and then brings it back with more meat than one of them? How can you still use robbing??

For the first time, he felt that Kira's heart was so dark that even his companions were suspicious and calculating.

"The most important thing you need to be careful with is the combination of Lucy and Brantish that is closest to us, and the combination of Wendy and Timaria. Their magic is very strong, and finding the target beast should be ...... quickly."

Just as Kira was teaching Natsu tirelessly, leading him deep into the sea of trees in front of him, people from the other direction began to teach similarly.

"You say someone might stop us on our way back? Really? ”

Facing the big-chested Abba Greene, Elusa's expression was serious and serious: "It's possible!" As the president said, if you don't bring the monster back, it's a failure! The supporters of this competition are very strong, and in the case of two to one, it is not impossible to snatch the success! ”

"But in that case, only one of the snatchers and the robbed will advance, and if the battle is too long and it causes a timeout, won't the gains outweigh the losses? In contrast, it's safer to capture a monster yourself, right? ”

"That's when every team can find the Monster, what if they don't encounter the Monster in the direction they're heading? Is it just to rob someone else's? ”

"Uh...... What do you say......"

"Also, as long as there is a huge disparity in combat power between the two sides, the battle will not consume a lot of time at all. For example...... If Kira comes to snatch the monster from us, the two of us won't last long. ”

Thinking of Kira's character, Abba Greene instantly broke out in a cold sweat: "No...... No...... There are several teams between us, so he shouldn't have come to this far, right? ”

Calculation: Kira and Natsu are at twelve o'clock, Elusa and Abba Greene are at five o'clock, and the two teams are 5 kilometers away from the stronghold, how far apart are they?

】

Solution: According to the cosine theorem of the triangle: c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cosθ, where a=5, b=5, θ=150°, the solution is c≈9.66 km

Elusa and Abba Greene, who had no formal math education, could not have done this problem, but they could probably imagine that the distance was not too short.

The race lasted only three hours, and they were delayed for fifteen minutes at the stronghold, and another five kilometers in their own direction, minus the time for the return trip and the battle, which should not be enough time for them to run that far.

Thinking of this, the two finally put their minds at ease.

Elusa looked at Abba Greene, who had more than one season, and reminded, "There is another hidden rule in the first level, that is, there is no limit to the shots of the 'supporters'!" In other words, we can shoot at the candidates at will! ”

“！

”

Hearing this, Abba Greene was completely panicked: "Wait...... Wait a minute...... Let me start by thinking about who is in the ranks around us...... Team No. 4 is Gray Urrutia; Team six is Fillid and Gérard......"

"It's not just teams that are close to each other that are in danger, if you are sure to make a move, it is also possible to cross several kilometers to grab it, so we must not take it lightly!"

"It is necessary to determine the target in the shortest possible time, and solve the battle as quickly as possible to rush back to the stronghold!"
