Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 219 Opening Battle

Team battles are divided into three groups according to school age, and each group plays against five people.

Of course, these more than 1,000 colleges did not draw lots to determine their opponents, but faced each other according to the ranking of the colleges.

The purpose of team battles is to train students' teamwork skills, and in order for all house teams to compete against teams of similar level, segmented duels are necessary.

There is a big gap between the strength of the top-ranked house teams and the bottom-ranked teams, and the former is crushing the latter.

Take Charles College as an example, the high-school-age team of Charles College is all senior professionals, and the colleges that rank one or two hundred in the bottom will only produce a senior professional in a few years.

Since there are many academies and the training grounds are large enough to play multiple battles at the same time, every 20 academies are divided into sections, and each academy has to play a battle against the other 19 academies within each section, with the winner scoring 3 points and the draw scoring 1 point each.

Team battles are scheduled to be played over five days, and the schedule is very tight, and many students have to give up a few of their own house battles to watch some of the key battles.

The battle of the spotlight is all focused on the first stage, with the top 20 top house teams all strong, and the two house giants Charles College and Holke College are the focus of attention.

The match between Charles College and Holker College was deliberately scheduled for the first match of the first day, and no other matches were played at the same time. In addition to attracting attention, this move is also to dispel the students' worries in advance and let them play well.

Battles are played in descending order of seniority, with Holker's junior team consisting of five mid-level professionals, with Grann as the captain and Alec the Mushroom Head as a member of the team.

Grann has been training with Loria and Gingy since she entered the school, and in the past three months, she has made rapid progress, and her vision and combat experience have greatly improved.

The biggest advantage of the teenager joining Rogge's team is not that he got a few pieces of rare equipment that fit, but that he can consult Rogge and others at all times.

Granne was an introvert, but he asked questions unequivocally, often asking questions that made Orfina impatient and beat him with a stick.

The patient Rogge taught him a lot, and Rogge was more like his teacher than his partner, so Rogge was relieved to hand over the captaincy to him.

On the side of Charles College, there was actually a high-level swordsman among the five, and the other four were also mid-level professionals.

Senior professionals are very rare in the lower school age group, with only two of all House teams and one in the fifth-placed House team.

After the two sides entered and set up their formations, the battle officially began with the order of Charisson.

According to Gran's pre-battle plan, the Holm Academy team remained in a defensive formation.

The safest thing for the weaker side to do is to look for opportunities in defence, a tactic that Rogge taught Gran.

The team of Charles Academy launched an offensive under the leadership of a senior swordsman, who himself acted as the tip of the sword, intending to quickly attrition his opponents by relying on his own strength.

At Granne's orders, Alec the Mushroom Head and one of the defenders flanked the high-ranking swordsman one left and one right, while the last warrior on the team attacked the other two warriors with a wide open and closed sword move, catching them off guard.

The configuration of both sides is three warriors and two magicians, and the first round of confrontations between warriors is a two-on-one situation, but one side relies on courage to support it, and the other side relies on a higher level of hard power to deal with it with ease.

I saw the senior swordsman of the Charles Academy team fly up and kick on the defender's shield, while blocking Alec's gun, and then rotate his body forcefully, broke away from the siege of the two before the defender filled the position, and turned to attack the swordsman of Holke Academy.

The speed advantage of the high-level martial artist was brought into play, and Alec and the defenders couldn't catch up with him at all, watching his teammates fall into a three-man siege and be eliminated with just two moves.

The high-ranking swordsman turned around and smiled proudly, but he was greeted by a fierce burst of flames!

The high-level swordsman quickly dodged, but this sudden flame explosion was not directed at him, but he was in the flight path of the large fireball.

"Boom!" The fireball exploded, a heat wave swept through the training ground, and the two magicians at the back of the Charles Academy team were directly burned and exited.

Four to three, although the other party has a high-level swordsman, but it has lost its magic support, and the disadvantage of strength has been reversed.

Grann withdrew his staff and gestured to fellow Earth Mage.

The earth mage received the order, folded his hands, and four solid stone walls suddenly appeared in the opponent's formation, trapping one of the defenders.

Alec and our defenders rushed again, entangled the high-ranking swordsman, and the earth mage unleashed the Flying Rock Technique to disrupt the last of the opponent's fighters.

Grann struck again, first using flame attachment on the high-ranking swordsman to reduce the pressure on his teammates, and then knocking the fighter out with a burst of fire.

The situation became four against two, and our side gained the advantage.

The flame attachment can only play a disruptive role against high-level opponents, and the high-level swordsman's energy bursts out, dispels the flame attachment, and uses the same method to get rid of Alec's entanglement again, and rushes directly to Granne!

The opponent's purpose is very clear, to defeat the captain and first output player Gran first, if they can succeed, the victory will still belong to them.

The earth mage gritted his teeth and ran to Gran, who was not far away, to block him, releasing the earth wall cage and enveloping himself with the high-level swordsman!

At the same time, Alec and the defender were not idle, eliminating the defender who had just broken through the cage of the earthen wall.

Three-on-one, although the opponent is a high-level swordsman, but only at the level of the beginner, three reasonably configured intermediate professionals have a chance to defeat him.

Taking advantage of the ten seconds that the senior swordsman was trapped, Grann moved behind his teammates, brewing the Flame Burst technique.

"Boom!" The earthen wall crumbles, and the high-level swordsman escapes from it, only to be confused by the Flame Explosion technique again.

The high-level swordsman let out a loud shout, and a half-moon slash out, slashing out most of the power of the Flame Explosion Technique!

Just as he was about to run out of power, our defenders swooped down from the flank, using shield strikes to crash into the high-ranking swordsman.

The high-ranking swordsman struggled to defend himself, and although he knocked off the defender's shield, he was completely out of position.

The defender directly discarded the shield, and held the gun in both hands and made a non-standard piercing stab, which tempted the high-level swordsman to make a defensive move, abandoned the gun again, and hugged him violently!

The High Swordsman used his sword to symbolically slash the defender out of the game, and was about to continue the fight when a cold tip of the spear was already pressed against his throat, and a scorching fireball passed by his side.

The Holke House team eliminated everyone on the other side, leaving Gran and Alec to win.

In the first game of the opening battle, a wonderful battle was staged in which the weak defeated the strong, which made the students full of enthusiasm and looked forward to showing their skills in the battle.

And the captains of those opposing teams seem to have sensed something from the tactics executed by the Holke Academy team.

Grann uses the standard split-and-break tactics, dragging the enemy's strongest player, causing the enemy to attrition as quickly as possible, creating a situation where more fights are less, and then splitting and breaking again, and finally winning.

The tactical principles are simple and easy to understand, but the actual implementation requires the commander's keen battlefield judgment, which is not a simple matter.

When Grann was training with Loria and Jinji, Jinji deliberately asked the boy to command the team, and his battlefield judgment grew rapidly.

Grann ended his state of intense concentration, exhaled lightly to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at his own house team amid the applause of the students.

Rogge was looking at him with satisfaction, and the boy's performance made him very satisfied, as if he saw a little shadow of himself.

However, Gran waved not to Rogge's partner and teacher, but to his goddess Elena, who obediently applauded him softly.

"Brother, you taught Grann very well, it's good in all aspects~" Orfina said in a weird way.

“…… It's that he doesn't learn well. Rogge quibbled.

The middle school age group played, and the Holke Academy side was led by Lisa, and it was still a configuration of three warriors and two magicians, and two of the five were senior professionals.

The configuration of Charles Academy is four warriors and one magician, and there are also two high-level professionals.

From the analysis of the lineup, the intention of Charles Academy is to break through the front row quickly, and their two senior professionals are both martial artists, and they are gun dancers with outstanding breakthrough ability.

If Holker Academy wants to win, it depends on the performance of Lisa, a high-level wind magician.

Lisa pursed her lips and glanced at Rog to see that he was watching the fight intently, and her determination to win the match was even stronger.

Whether it is Rogge's calm and rational and thoughtful personality, or outstanding strength, Lisa is attracted all the time, and the once life-saving grace has gone further and turned into longing.

And having seen the deep bond between Rogge and Philia and Orfina firsthand, Lisa knew that it was almost impossible for her to squeeze into the relationship between the three.

Lisa was deceived by the scumbag Donn, so she was more cautious in handling her feelings, restraining herself, and trying her best to make longing just longing.

However, on the high-profile stage of the academy, Lisa very much wants to show herself, prove herself, and look forward to getting more attention from Rogge, even if it is a few words of praise.

The battle begins.

The four warriors on the other side charged first, and the two senior gun dancers directly attacked the senior fighters in the team of the Holke Academy, their marksmanship was extremely sharp, and the cooperation was very tacit, and it looked like they had been trained for a long time.

Fighter is a class that can be both offensive and defensive, but even so, our high-ranking fighters are defeated and retreated under the attack of two spear dancers, and they are very difficult to support.

The rest of the warriors of the two teams fought against each other, and the two intermediate magicians were also fighting against each other, and Lisa became the free man of the audience, and also became the key point for Holke Academy to break the game.

Lisa immediately used the levitation technique to fly, and a powerful wind binding technique struck, temporarily dragging one of the spear dancers, and then went straight to the magician in the back row of the opponent!

The other party's magician is a thunder magician, and according to the elemental restraint relationship, it is to restrain the wind system, but Lisa is a very fast wind magician, and it is one level higher than the other party, so the restraint relationship is not obvious.

I saw Lisa fly towards the thunder mage in a zigzag path in mid-air, and at the same time unleash the Wind Blade at a high frequency to attack the opponent from all angles!

In the face of lightning mages with weak defenses, the simplest first-order magic is the most efficient means of attack.

The thunder mage gritted his teeth, trying to target Lisa and exchange one with her, but he couldn't.

"Boom!" With a lightning strike missed, the lightning mage was eliminated.

Our water mage was ordered by Lisa to immediately use the fog barrier technique, and the entire battlefield gradually became full of mist.
