Darkening Guardian Knight

"Well, and it's a battle for the arena." Joey added, "Ten arenas will be built on the playground for challengers to compete for. The combination that stays in the arena will be eligible to enter the final round."

"I remember that this round allows us to form a team freely?" Kate recalled the announced rules, and said, "Oh, Sister Nan and Senior Thomson are waiting for this opportunity!"

"Ah, it would be great if they were teamed together!" Joey sighed sincerely, "Senior and sister should be able to win the top two in this new Star Wars."

"That's right, with their strength, the possibility of winning is the greatest. But...the others are not without chance." Kate's eyes were deep, and she seemed to have a plan.

"Huh?! What chance?" Joey asked in surprise. She always felt that the two seniors were already invincible, and there was really no one who could beat them.

Kate yawned boredly, and said, "Isn't this fourth round itself the best opportunity?"

The answer to the sixth section is in the field

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the last round of the fourth round of Star Wars finally started. As the host and referee, Karis announced the battle arrangement for this round on the central stage.

Like the information released in advance, there will be ten arenas for this round.

Twenty attacking magicians and twenty auxiliary magicians are matched in pairs, and the combination that stays in the ring can get the chance to enter the next round.

"Who do you want to form a team with?" On the playground, Assas paced back and forth in some trouble, looking around among the few contestants, looking for a suitable partner for him.

"How about Joey?" Lloyd said, as usual, kindly offering him options, "You fought with her before. And in the ring battle, her pseudo-life domain should be very useful."

Assas shook his hand: "No, Joy is not strong enough. To be honest, she was able to enter this round because she ranked nineteenth in terms of points and barely squeezed into the top twenty.

Although you said that her pseudo domain has a lot of room to play in the ring.But the disadvantages of magic in her field are also obvious. "

"Aren't you good at protracted warfare..." Royard knew what the disadvantages in Royard's mouth were, and he said understandingly, "If Joey can't do it, why don't you talk to Vader? She might be willing to form a team with you."

"Vida..." Mentioning the pink girl, Assas fell into deep thought, "Indeed, she is an ideal partner. Although she is only a first-year student like us, she is among the top five in the auxiliary group." exist."

"Don't be so humble! It's just that we don't have a ranking here, and it's not that we are inferior to her!" Royard said, wanting to dispel the negative emotions in Royard's words.

But Assas said: "There is no need to hide anything. According to the hard power ranking, we just can't make it into the top five. Those second-year seniors are basically better than us."

"..." Royard couldn't refute. At this point, even geniuses like them couldn't be conceited.

It must be admitted that compared with the seniors in the attack group, there is still some gap in magic power.

"So you think Vader, who is ranked in the top five, may not agree to form a team with you?" After a brief silence, Royard seemed to understand what Assas meant, so he said, "But I think you can actually try .”

Assas pursed his lips and said, "Since you think she's good, then invite her yourself."

"Okay." Lloyd readily responded, "I thought her sound magic was more compatible with your wave magic, so I strongly recommended it. If you don't invite her, then I will naturally."

After all, he proved himself with actions, he really found Dorothy and asked to form a team with her.

Assas watched Lloyd chatting with Dorothy, feeling inexplicably agitated.Ever since he finished talking with Al at noon, he has been in a daze, completely dejected.

"Assas, your complexion looks a little bad."

Assas looked towards the source of the sound, and saw the black-haired girl and her little follower leisurely greeting him.

"It's Kate and Joey, have you all formed a good partner?"

"Yes, sister Kate and I are together!" Little Joy said with a smile, holding Kate's hand.

"You two as a team?" Assas asked in surprise, and asked Kate, "Is this true?"

"Really." Kate nodded, "Anyway, I think it's pretty much the same as anyone else's group."

"Uh..." Assas felt that Kate was overconfident, but he didn't know how to persuade her.

The black-haired girl saw through Assas's thoughts, and spoke out for him: "You think I'm reckless? Do you not take Star Wars seriously?"

Assas was speechless, it was his default.

Kate said again: "Regardless of whether I and Joey formed a team rashly or not, I must say that Assas, you are too timid now."

"Perhaps as you said, I'm too shy now, and I'm in a slump." Assas's eyes flickered, avoiding the sight of others, "But I don't know what to do."

Kate said: "You are still confused. Is it because Al Dison came to see you at noon?"

"You guessed it right." Assas sighed, "I promised her to cooperate with the New Century Organization. But I didn't think about how to explain it to my family."

"If you feel bad, you can reject the New Century organization." Kate said.

"It's because I can't refuse—" Assas said with a wry smile, "From my standpoint, there is no reason to refuse, and the conditions offered there are indeed very lucrative and attractive, but..."

"only?"

"It's just that I don't have the courage to shoulder that heavy burden." For some reason, when facing Kate, Assas felt that he could say all the troubles he had been avoiding in one breath, "To Make a decision for our family... I can't do this kind of thing!"

"Don't you have the courage, oh, so that's the case." Kate nodded calmly after listening to Assas's confession, and said, "It's a naive question to be unwilling to face the reality despite having made a decision. Assas, this is not like you."

"Kate, your words are always so rational." Assas said helplessly. The black-haired girl's words were always sharp, which made it impossible for him to refute. "In that case, Kate, tell me what to do..."

"Want to get an answer from me?" Kate suddenly approached Assas, she raised her head and stuck up.

Those beautiful black crystal-like eyes stared straight at Assas's eyes, their faces almost touching.

Assas was bewildered by her actions, blushing, and softly reminded a little shyly: "That... Kate, it's too close!"

"Because some things have to be close to tell you."

Kate's exquisite poker face came into Assas' eyes, but disappeared like a gust of wind in an instant.

When he lost his mind, Assas found that the scenery in front of him was spinning, and then he felt pain caused by the collision in his back, which brought him back to reality from a trance.

In the field of vision, the black-haired girl had disappeared, replaced by an empty high platform and the shouts of the audience.

"Oh——there is finally the first player to occupy the high platform! Asas Brown from the first-year elite class A stepped onto the challenge ring first. But he appeared alone. What's going on?" Karius explained in a very hostile manner, driving the atmosphere of the competition.

"Kate threw me up?!" Assas on the stage gradually came to his senses, but he was still puzzled, not knowing why Kate would do that.

However, the situation did not allow him to think wildly. Following his appearance, two contestants, a male and a female, jumped up from the stage and declared war on him.

Instructor Karis stood in the air, explaining the latest situation on the field: "Hey, Libido Koda from the second-year elite class B and Teremis Frando from the same class entered the first ring after Brown!

It seemed that they were going to act as challengers, but there was only one person on Brown's side.

Although I don't know if he didn't find a partner or his partner didn't show up.But according to the rules, once you stand on the ring, you have to bear the heavy responsibility of defending the ring, otherwise you will be eliminated. "

"This..." Assas twitched the corner of his mouth weakly, very frustrated.

He knew a little about the details of the two seniors who came to challenge him.They are the front row of the second-year elite class, and they are the top geniuses after Thomson, Nan, Este and other super-standard students, and their strength is roughly at the bottom of the fifth level.

If it's a one-on-one fight, Assas won't be afraid.However, it is two against one now, so Assas can predict his own ending.

——almost certain defeat!

"What a bleak expression, don't you even have the courage to fight two?"

Abruptly, the voice of the black-haired girl sounded from his mind, and Assas suddenly cheered up.

Kate's method of mental sound transmission is so exquisite that Assas couldn't find a way to give feedback.

So he immediately raised his head, trying to find Kate in the crowd and talk to her, but he couldn't find it.

"Don't look for me, you have to solve the predicament yourself, even though I created this predicament for you." Kate seemed to find that Assas was looking for her, and immediately sent a spiritual voice transmission, "Assas, this is I have the answer for you!"

Section [-] off-site guidance

"This is... the answer?!"

When Assas was confused, a dark green vine protruded from the ground of the ring, clasped Assas' ankle, and at the same time tended to spread to his upper body.

"This is?!"

Assas opened the corrugated barrier reflexively, trying to stop the vines from invading, but it failed.

The vines were flexible and changeable like a swimming snake, easily seeping in through the cracks in the corrugated barrier, binding Assas into a mummy.

"It's really imprudent to be half-hearted in the ring, Brown." His opponent, Libido Koda, stepped forward without any hindrance, as if mocking, and slowly built a basic magic array. "Although it is not our intention to win in this way, in the competition, there is no such thing as sympathy for the opponent."

After all, he completed the last step of the magic, using pure mantra syllables to induce the power contained in the magic array: "Pray to the god of flames to burn!"

Hula, the blazing flame ignited the vine, and it was still burning upwards little by little.

Because Kodak is obviously using basic magic, it will not cause fatal injuries to Assas, but it can make him lose the ability to fight, which is in line with the rules.So Karius is still watching with his hands up, not planning to stop the battle.

"Oops, if you are tied up like this, there is no way to counter it. At this distance, using wave magic rashly is purely self-harm. Sure enough, it is unrealistic to fight two with one..."

"Isn't it too early to give up now?" Just when Assas was almost desperate, Kate's ghost-like spiritual connection sounded again in his mind.

Although he felt that his words could not reach Kate, Assas still complained and murmured: "There is no way, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and if you can't do it, you can't do it."

"It's not that you can't do it, it's that you didn't try to do it, right?" Kate seemed to have some special method. After hearing what he was thinking, she sneered and accused, "Whether it's about the New Century Organization or the Nova Wars you are facing now, you are afraid of the difficulties, and what you could have done will become unattainable."

Assas said in his heart: "To put it simply, let's not talk about whether I can win if I bite the bullet. Now I can't untie this bondage, and I can't do it even if I try."

And Kate seemed to have expected him to retort like this, and replied: "Of course I know it's not that you don't want to try, it's just that you don't know how to do it. You can't see the road to victory, which makes you fear—fear of a gloomy future."

Assas was shocked, and had to admit that Kate's words hit the nail on the head, quickly pointing out the problem of his lack of courage.

"So that's it. This is the answer you want to teach me...it really makes sense, but just talking on paper is useless and can't solve the problem."

Assas was not simply fooled by Kate, and kept thinking rationally, "It is true that I am depressed because I cannot see a bright future. But this is an objective fact, and there is no perfect solution at all!"

"Solutions exist, but the best solutions are often only calculated by a few people." Kate said, "For example, right now, you have at least three ways to get out of trouble."

"Three types?!" Assas exclaimed in surprise. He himself only reluctantly thought of a method that could be considered feasible, but Kate said at least three types when he opened his mouth, which is really shocking.

But Kate didn't seem to be joking, she said seriously: "First of all, the way to break free from the vines. Even if I don't mention this, you must have thought of two or three kinds. It's like using a corrugated barrier to protect the body and waiting for the vines to burn out;

Or use simple incantations to cast resonance-type wave magic to shatter the vines.

Those are the easy ways to do it, but the real difficulty is after that, how do you deal with the combination of the two of them. "

"Obviously they are a combination of wood and fire, they should have strong destructive power and troublesome control, considering the possibility of learning healing magic with wood-type magic.

Therefore, it can be judged that their resilience is also stronger than yours.

But because your magic level is not weaker than theirs, your wave magic has a particularity that other attribute magic can't match.If you make good use of the various changes of wave magic, you can win the group arena. "

Immediately afterwards, Kate told Assas all of her thoughts.

Kate's thinking is extremely clear. She has more insight into the situation of herself and her opponent than Assas himself, and she handles many details in an orderly manner.

Listening to her teaching, Assas seemed to see a ray of light on a bleak road.

"These...are you coming up with it on the spur of the moment?" During Kate's hasty explanation, Assas couldn't help sighing.

If I have this kind of insight, how can I be so troubled by those trivial matters.

Kate said very politely: "Time is tight, and it can only be calculated to this extent, but I think these calculations are enough for you to win this battle."

"Yeah, that's enough." Assas said calmly as usual, but his eyes at this time were completely different from when he was thrown into the ring before, "Thank you, Kate. The next battle will depend on my own performance."

"Well, I wish you success."

The black-haired girl's spiritual connection ends here.

After that, it was the stage that belonged entirely to Assas.

Section [-] Solo Fighting

"Please, help Assas, okay?" Lloyd bowed and smiled at the pink-haired girl, speaking humbly for his good roommate, "He really needs someone to help him now, so that he can get out of his unconfident state."

"What a nice friend, Ford. But do you think I might help Brown because of your nonsense?"

Dorothy looked proud and said calmly, "Although you and Assas Brown have some strength, that's not enough to persuade me to become your partner."

Royard asked sincerely: "Then how can you agree?"

"Hehe, the attitude of asking for help is surprisingly upright." Dorothy covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's not impossible for me to agree. In exchange, let Christian owe me a favor."

"Are you following Kate?" When it came to the black-haired girl, Royard didn't dare to respond rashly.

Although Kate is very close to him on the surface, most students feel that she belongs to the small group on Royard's side.

However, Royard knew that she could not order at will, and her actions were all based on her own ideas.

Seeing Royard's embarrassment, Dorothy smiled and said, "I'm hesitating... Sure enough, you don't have the authority to command her. Then the negotiation failed, so I have to find my teammates elsewhere. I can't waste time on you." Bye bye."

"Don't rush away."

Just as Dorothy was about to turn around and leave, a black figure emerged from a blind corner of the crowd, blocking the way of the pink-haired girl.

Dorothy saw the sudden figure, and said calmly: "It seems that you overheard the conversation I had with Ford just now, Kate Christian. Why, do you want to agree to it for Asas Brown?" My condition?"

"No, I don't think that's necessary." Kate pointed to the No. [-] ring and said, "I just think you should wait for a good show."
