The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Floating city, Merlin Square.

As teams entered one after another, Merlin Square welcomed its first grand event in nearly a hundred years.

Colin saw that the leaders of each force were all official wizards, all exuding extraordinary aura, and he couldn't tell exactly what level of wizards they were.

Counting the teams on the field, there are hundreds of teams, big and small.

It seems that the apprentices in each team are not equal. The five plus three team of Griman Academy can only be considered average. There are teams of more than 20 people and teams of three to five people.

Soon, a great wizard announced the rules of the competition in the center of the square.

The competition is divided into individual and team competitions.

Anyone present at the individual competition can sign up to participate. The competition rules are basically the same as those of the Griman College trials, with a single elimination plus double elimination plus round-robin system. There is nothing new about it, and strength is the key.

The team competition is quite interesting. This time the team competition is in a specially designed secret realm.

There are some rare materials and some released monsters in the secret realm. All kinds of resources obtained in the secret realm will be exchanged for points after leaving the secret realm and counted into the team competition results.

In addition, each contestant who enters the secret realm has an identity card, and one identity card counts as one point. At the end of the game, the more identity cards a team holds, the higher the score.

The sum of the two scores is calculated as the total score.

Whether it is an individual or team competition, as long as the ranking is high, the allocation of overall resources will be tilted towards the forces behind them.

After hearing this, Colin realized that, to put it bluntly, this league should be a competition to distribute resources within the world.

Later it was explained that fighting to the death was strictly prohibited in the secret realm, but if you really were to die, I believe no one would take your life for you unless many people testified against you.

After saying this, the surrounding teams became much more alert. This was no joke, and no one could guarantee that they wouldn't kill someone.

Colin looked at Connie and Marcus. It would be fine in the individual competition, but someone might die in the team competition.

Those teams that originally had more people had the advantage from the beginning.

Before the individual competition started, Colin already felt that some teams seemed to be forming a coalition.

Lina, who was at the front of the team, seemed to sense the tense atmosphere among her academy's apprentices and turned to look at Colin and the others.

“If you can’t even pass this level, you’d better stop at being a senior apprentice. The plane war is much more dangerous than this.

Although wizards also value individual strength, they value teamwork more. After all, no one can be omniscient and omnipotent without any shortcomings.

So, please perform well this time. If your grades are excellent, I will consider accepting a few students."

After saying that, Lina stopped looking at Colin and the others.

All the apprentices who came to the scene wanted to participate in the individual competition, and they quickly drew their number plates.

For ease of management, the identity cards of each team member are consecutively numbered, but opponents are randomly assigned during the competition.

Colin and his friends drew identity cards from numbers 63 to 70, Connie was number 67, Colin was number 69, and Marcus was number 70.

The official individual competition will start tomorrow, when the ID card will obtain the opponent's ID card and the competition venue number information.

Colin and others returned to their residence and went to the room of the wizards Lina and Jaina (the two sisters lived together).

Wizard Lina did not give too much explanation on the individual competition, but focused on the team competition. Although she said some discouraging words in Merlin Square, she still encouraged everyone to be united and put safety first when she returned to her residence. After all, the eight of them were the elites of this session, and it would be bad if anyone was lost.

Colin got a better understanding of Lina's temperament. She had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and was not completely cold and heartless.

The eight participants this time include the first fire wizard apprentice Foraire from the original college competition, the second ice wizard apprentice Ace, the third light wizard apprentice Don Quixote, the fourth gold wizard apprentice Mythos, the fifth wind wizard apprentice Connie, the sixth wood wizard apprentice Wood, the seventh fire wizard apprentice Colin, and the eighth earth wizard apprentice Marcus.

Except for Colin and the other two, the other five usually keep to themselves. But after getting along together for three or four months, they finally feel more familiar with each other. In the face of life and death, I believe everyone can cooperate well.

Silent all night.

……

The next day, led by their respective team leaders, Colin and others came to the competition venue again.

Soon, Colin and the other eight received information about their opponents and their respective competition venues.

The starting wizard apprentice of Griman Academy was Ace. After seeing that there were no other players competing at the same time, everyone agreed to go and check out the situation.

In competition venue No. 5, Ace's opponent has already taken the stage.

After Ace came on stage, he bowed to the wizards who were maintaining order, and then began the first battle of Griman Academy.

Almost at the same time, Ace and his opponent released defensive spells in the first place. Ace released an ice shield, and his opponent released a vine shield.

Then, Ace began to release Ice Cone, and the opponent released Vine Entanglement.

At the beginning, the fight was not intense and everyone was attacking tentatively. Both sides easily dodged the opponent's attack spells.

However, as time went on, the ice wizard apprentice also became angry, and Ace began to release freezing rays.

The opponent also superimposed the Oak Shield, further increasing its defense.

After piercing through the vine shield and oak shield, the ice ray finally failed to penetrate the opponent's body.

Immediately afterwards, Ace released the Ice Crystal Spear again, and the opponent hurriedly released the Vine Shield again.

After defending against Ace's attack, the opponent added another attack - Iron Birch Piercing.

Ace used Ice Spike to replace Iron Birch Piercing.

Ace starts to release Frost Nova and the opponent starts to release Wild Growth.

Colin watched the two sides fighting back and forth. Although he had made a new breakthrough in tactics, he felt that it would be a tough battle if he took the field.

The battle between Ace and his opponent lasted for half an hour. The mana of both sides had obviously reached the limit, and the spells they released gradually returned to the original simplest and most mana-saving spells.

In the end, Ace defeated his opponent with an ice cone and won the first victory for Gleeman Academy.

After Ace's victory, he can rest for most of the day and will continue to fight tomorrow, while his opponent no longer has the chance to compete in the individual competition.

In fact, Ace's opponents were not weak, it was just that he was unlucky to meet Ace.

No one from Griman College played in the competition that morning. After watching other people's games, everyone returned to their residences.

After returning to their residence, everyone was discussing whether there was a better way. If it was just a simple competition of magic power, then there was no need to compete.

"I feel like it was a waste of time for Ace to release the Ice Cone spell at the beginning. It would have been better if he had cast an additional defense spell and then released the Freeze Ray directly."

Because it takes longer to release the Freeze Ray than the Ice Cone, everyone thought of stacking two defensive spells before releasing the offensive spell.

"In the same amount of time, if the opponent directly releases a three-layer defense spell, it seems that he will not be able to win in the short term."

After listening to his teammates' discussion for a long time, Colin felt that it was a bit futile. Tactics are dead, but people are alive. It is better to act according to circumstances when encountering an opponent.

The contestant in the afternoon was Don Quixote. After seeing that everyone had been discussing for a long time without any result, they dispersed and prepared for the afternoon competition.
