My Space-Time System

All Serhan needed was a single look at the other second years for them to know his evil intentions.

"Time for them to pay." Serhan had an evil grin on his face as the teams were moving to the elevator.

Once they got to the ground, they made their way out of the wall's purple barrier.

When Blake's team took their position behind the orange barrier, Serhan, and another second-year team were positioned at their sides.

'The fact that they are not a breath away means they are definitely planning something that isn't kill stealing.' Blake said in the mind link.

With the school's badges on them, unless it was a battle array, the person that landed the last hit on a beast would be awarded the point, no matter how many people that had previously damaged the beast. This was what Blake was most worried about, but seems they were planning something else.

All the teams began preparing both their spells and arrays before part of the city barrier was brought down for the beasts to attack.

HUMMM!

The city barrier let out a low hum as a large part of it disappeared letting beasts pour in, but instantly, spells began raining on them.

Although the spells of the students were not as strong as those of the adventurers and volunteers they still dealt a lot of damage, but it didn't stop the beasts from slowly filling up the space behind the barrier.

'They are not attacking??' Serhan was confused when he saw Blake's team just standing even though the beasts were making their way toward them.

'We can't wait forever, If they get too close the plan won't work out, it has to be now.' Blake's team's inaction could hardly be considered a minor problem. So everything was to continue as planned regardless of what happened.

"NOW!" Once they were sure that the beasts had gotten their attention, Serhan gave out the signal, and the ground beneath both second-year teams collapsed, causing them to enter a tunnel they had made the moment they arrived.

"Just as expected." Blake said with a grin as they saw the hole they fell into close up.

By both teams leaving the vision of the beasts, the pressure on Blake's team would greatly increase since all the beasts would focus on them. This meant they would be facing 3 times the number of beasts.

Unknown to the second-year teams, the moment their geomancers began creating a tunnel below them, the system had informed Blake allowing him to make preparations.

"I don't get it, are we meant to be afraid by you guys hiding." Blake laughed as he gave the signal to activate the elemental cannon battle array.

Luciano stood at the center of the runes that formed the elemental mana cannon array that was being powered by the entire team.

Elemental Cannon: Fire Storm!

A large ball of golden flames conjured at the center of the array above them was released into the sky, and seconds later came crashing down on the beasts that were making their way to them.

BOOM!

Once the golden ball of flame made contact with the beasts, an explosion of golden flames rocked the ground as all the beasts within its range were instantly turned to charred corpses.

The blast wave killed every beast within a 5-meter radius that was below the elite rank, While fatally injuring those out in the elite rank.

"Brian and Tessie, you guys are up." Immediately Blake signaled for them to act they detached from the elemental cannon array leaving Luciano, Castiel, and Blake to power it.

Luciano continued using explosive fire spells to kill the beasts while pushing them back and buying them some time, while Brian terraformed a large portion of the ground around them to quicksand to slow and trap beasts that managed to come close.

As for Tessie, she dropped the mother seed and once the thorny seed got in contact with the ground, it came to life and began burrowing into the ground.

At this point, Luciano stopped firing the elemental cannon battle array and let the beasts cover the gap between them.

Seeing that the attacks from the humans had reduced, the beasts couldn't be happier at the stupidity of the humans. They increased their speed to the max as they charged forward, but Blake could only smile.

They blindly charged into the quicksand which easily trapped all the beasts below elite rank, while the elite rank beasts struggle to make it to the other side, but that was when red thorny plant vines twice as thick as usual, erupted from below and began rapping and constricting them.

"Brian disable the quicksand." Blake instructed Brian as he took over the battle array.

The aim of everything was to gain as many points as possible, so slowing down or trapping the beasts would be pointless if they weren't the ones to land the last hit.

Once the ground had returned to normal, the beasts continued their charge at the team but that was when the mother tree erupted from beneath the team, raising them 4 meters above the ground.

Elemental Cannon: Lighting fork!

The array moved to the front of the team before firing out a long bolt of lightning that branched into multiple arcs that struck tens of beasts, killing them instantly.

The single attack had killed more than 10 beasts at once, but it didn't stop the remaining from encircling them as they tried to get close to the mother tree.

…

"Fuck that stupid array of theirs!" Serhan couldn't help but rain curses at Blake's team as he watched through the mirror spell that they set above their cave.

Not only was his plan to get Blake's team overran and failing, but they were farming points meant for the 3 teams, and if they let this continue their teams would get no points.

"It is obvious that your plan has failed, so why are we still wasting time here?" Dustin Ulrik the rank 2 of the 2nd year said with an annoyed look on his face.
