66.7 per cent for option three and 33.3 per cent for option four.

……

[Option 3]

【Electrified】

……

It's hard to describe what she went through. Just when she thought it was all going to end and that she could only go this far, she heard a shrill hum.

Buzzing.

A muffled voice echoed through the mine.

“！？”

"What's going on......"

Whether it was Tao Tao lying on the ground, or Guo Shuang, who was climbing the giant pit, they were all shocked by this sudden state.

The earth is shaking. The ground cracked. Silvery elemental energy overflowed from the earth.

“…… This is...... What? Is it also a venue change? ”

Both have competed in many house competitions. However, they had never seen anything like it. It was as if the earth itself was roaring, and as if the air was trembling.

"Elemental Pipe Fracture ——!?"

The silvery-white light instantly plowed through the ground and scurried at the bottom of the mine. The sky is dark, but the earth is as bright as day, which not only gives people the illusion that the heavens and the earth are upside down. The light began to gather on everything that could cling to it in the vicinity. The walls of the pit, the countless mechanical arms, mechanical claws, and the bearman's double-edged blunt axe brought by Guo Shuang all condensed with silver-white light.

"It's-"

Some kind of disaster?

The fight between the two was stopped due to an unexpected circumstance. And in the next second......

In the air, there was a "crackling, crackling" sound.

Purple electric sparks flickered a few times in the silvery elemental light.

Immediately after, all the silver light flowing on the ground was wrapped in purple electric light in the blink of an eye.

- Elemental transformation? What's going on! ”

Guo Shuang panicked and pulled the magic guide gun, causing the magic guide manipulator to rise. However, the silver glow that enveloped the manipulator also began to turn purple to electric light.

The metal tissue exposed to the manipulator was overloaded by the sudden application of voltage. The current penetrated the manipulator, and the overload shut down all magic circuits.

"What-"

And because of this, Tao Tao got a respite.

"Ugh!"

The guiding claws that flew towards her slid over her head as she lost power, falling to the side. Tao Tao turned over and got up——

"Bearman!"

Roar!

The bear-man roared and raised his double-bladed blunt axe with great force.

Unlike the metal magic machine, the Greataxe, which is made of copper and iron ore, is not only not affected by the electric element, but also has a scorching lightning light due to its good conductivity.

At this moment, the purple light of the axe flickered, like a thunderbolt.

Roar!

The bearman's brute strength burst out at this moment. It swung its great axe and slammed the thunderbolt into the metal arm that grabbed it.

Airplanes! Syllable!

Only two crunchs were heard. The metal arm was split open by a lightning axe, breaking into two sections.

The bear-man dragged the remains of the metal arm off his body. At this moment, the hairs all over its body are standing on end because of the electrification.

"Come here, bearman!"

Tao Tao stretched out his hand and shouted. The bear man roared in response, scooped Tao Tao from the ground, and then, with a strong jump, grabbed the mechanical arms that were still paralyzed against the wall.

Cha. Cha.

A blunt axe with lightning bolts attached to it slices into the mechanical arm as easily as it does into grass and trees. The bear man used this strength to climb upwards.

After only a few jumps, he arrived in front of Guo Shuang.

"Manipulator ——!"

Guo Shuang shouted. However, the manipulator did not react. She raised her magic spear—

—and the bear's double-edged blunt axe, several times larger than her, was already in front of her.

Purple electric light illuminated Guo Shuang's pale face.

Behind the electric light, Tao Tao sat on the giant bear's shoulder and stretched out his hand.

"My Magic Guiding Stone."

“……”

"Give it back to me." She said to Guo Shuang.

“…… Your ......"

"I don't know what's wrong with the terrain." Tao Tao asked the bearman to bring the giant axe closer, "But don't you think you can keep my magic guide stone?" ”

"Good, good ......"

Guo Shuang showed a frightened expression and threw the magic guide stone bag in his hand.

Tao Tao reached out and caught it.

【Tao Tao:Points:98】

(Hah.) ）”

Seeing that Tao Tao began to check the number of magic guide stones, and pinned the bag back to his waist, Guo Shuang couldn't help but snicker in his heart.

(She...... Didn't ask me to give her my share! Hah, as the news said, what a stupid girl who doesn't care about anything but the magic guide-)"

"And then."

Tao Tao raised his head and continued.

Guo Shuang was shocked.

Deaf, the next thing is to threaten-

"I don't want your magic stone."

She looked at Guo Shuang and said.

"But I need to know one thing."

"Did you appoint the man who stabbed me with the cursed dagger?"

“……“

A giant axe entwined with electric light, arcing between the two.

“…… No. ”

Guo Shuang looked at the arc and said.

"In such a situation, everyone will say 'no'."

Tao Tao thought for a moment.

"But, as you said, I fell down after being knocked into the air and felt a lot like when I was stabbed—"

The bearman pressed the great axe into one more point.

"I'll think it's you."

"-It's Xue Kai!"

Xue Kai?

The name of someone he didn't know suddenly appeared in Guo Shuang's mouth, which made Tao Tao stunned for a moment.

"It's Xue Kai. The person who stabbed you was Xue Kai looking for. ”

“…… I don't even know this person. ”

"You used to refuse to team up with him. Of course you don't remember, because there are so many people looking for you - so, he came to me looking for a way to get revenge. I provided the channel for that dagger, and I went to see it that day. ”

“……”

Tao Tao pondered.

"If you can make it through the second round, you'll be able to meet him soon."

Guo Shuang's face turned a little whiter because of the approach of the giant axe. She said.

"He's definitely going to be in the final this year."

……

Background.

Zheng Zhuo sat in front of the stage and watched the overflowing electricity scurrying around the venue. As a result, many players were thrown into disarray, and there was chaos in the field.

"Oops......"

He converted pure elemental energy into electrical attributes, thus avoiding the greatest damage.

However, now it seems...... It doesn't seem to have avoided a lot of damage either.

And.

Two big men came from outside and stood behind Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo recognized them. They were the school workers who were recruited with him.

It's just that the post is a security guard.

"Deliberately disrupting the order of the venue. Please come with us. ”

Yes...... Sure enough, is there any monitoring of which school worker did in the background......

Tao Tao can go further. And that seems to be the end of it.

Zheng Zhuo raised his hands.

"I cooperate with the investigation. Please don't ...... with violence."

……

Boom!

Zheng Zhuo was thrown the wall of the conference room. The violent impact made Venus pop in front of his eyes.

"Say!"

What about the request without violence? The corners of Zheng Zhuo's mouth were bleeding. He raised his eyes slightly, and saw a strong man clutching at the hem of his shirt, another clasping his arms and roaring.

"I ...... I've said it all. ”

Zheng Zhuo spat out the blood foam. He said weakly.

"I just accidentally pressed the button all the way down, and who knew it was going to break down? I'm to blame for that...... I'm just a new school worker...... Don't you have a royal law here......"

"Tell the truth."

The strong man gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to devour Zheng Zhuo alive.

I told you that my Rapid Cast was activated, would you believe it?

Zheng Zhuo narrowed his eyes. He was also helpless, and it seemed that he had to take a few punches.

"—you kid, how could it not be on purpose? If it happens, will the championship trophy be lost at that time? ”

"Say! Where did the trophy go! ”

Well?

Lost trophy!?

"Blah blah blah blah what? Lost the trophy? ”

Zheng Zhuo didn't care about being beaten, he shouted.

"Didn't you steal it! Shut up! ”

"How-"

How can it be!? Zheng Zhuo was shocked.

I thought about stealing trophies! But I didn't do anything – how could the trophy be gone?

Seeing that Zheng Zhuo also showed a violent waver, the security guard, who seemed to finally realize that there was no progress in the matter, let go of his hand.

"Lock him up here first. Time is precious. ”

The two left him behind and walked out of the room.

However, this time Zheng Zhuo can't be regarded as not hearing.

The trophy is lost.

What are you kidding, winning first place, just for that trophy?

Zheng Zhuo propped himself up from the ground. He saw the security guard walk towards the door of the conference room.

He swept quickly across the room.

Doors, windows, conference tables, shelves, magic stones for ornaments on shelves......

……
