The Arcane God - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Maya, The Water Mage [I]
Following the instructor’s announcement, the twelve water mages who’re participating in the competition stood neatly in dozens of rows in the arena. The onlookers in the stands were also quiet.

“Because of the large number of participants in the water attribute, the whole field is divided into twenty competition areas. Each area will arrange twelve-thirteen competitions this morning.” They listened to the instructor as he continued. “After the competition starts, the contestants press the numbers in their hands and report to their respective locations in the competition area. After each competition, the winner can go to the examiner to collect the numbers for the next competition.Competitors at the end of the game, regardless of whether you win or lose, must leave the stage immediately. If you want to continue watching the game, you can go to the auditorium in the stands to watch. Well, now as the game starts, let the participants report to each competition area immediately.”

Maya looked at the number plate in her hand, number sixty six. She hoped that she could be as auspicious as this number and perform smoothly without too much difficulties.

She looked at the hundreds of contestants in front of her, especially the many fourteen-year-old refiners who were a head taller than herself, and shook her head. It was impossible for her not to be nervous.

Maya took the number plate and found the signboard marked with the competition arena fifty three-seventy eight. After a while, the twenty six contestants were all gathered here.

She looked at the twenty six people, almost all of them were over twelve years old, only she was the smallest. Fortunately, girls accounted for a large proportion of these students, which calmed her heart a little.

At this time, she heard the examiner say: “Okay, everyone is here, so be quiet now. I will reiterate the rules of the competition. The first point: You must not use non-magic transmutation weapons and forbidden spell-level magic. Second Point: Do not maim your opponent. Point 3: If you lose your ability to attack or defend yourself, admit defeat, or fall off the stage. Do you understand?”

Everyone shouted in unison: “We understand!”

“Okay, as the game starts, everyone just do your best. I will be responsible for safety. The order of the game will be done according to the numbers in your hands. Number fifty three will compete against number seventy eight. Number fifty four will compete against seventy seven.”

Following the order, they saw two female students walking onto the competition stage one after another. The examiner also stepped up and stood in the corner of the ring to protect the safety of both parties. The arena was square in shape.

At this time, the four teachers outside the arena each held one side, and a soft protective shield immediately rose outside the arena to block the magical impact of the students.

According to the order of the game, Maya’s number was placed at the middle of the penultimate game. This gave Maya a deep understanding of the power level of many contestants around the ring.

Looking at Maya’s calm gaze, the other students didn’t know if she had completely given up hope, or if she had a certainty in her heart.

“Ah, why hasn’t it been Maya’s turn to fight yet? It’s almost noon, and my stomach is already screaming.” Zachar had long been impatient, and couldn’t help but sat in the stands and complained nonstop.

Everyone watched the contestants as they kept leaving the competition venue, and the time turned to near noon.

At this time, only a few students were still competing in the arenas, and some competitions had already ended, and the students had already gone to their destinations.

The audience in the stands was obviously reduced by more than half, and it seemed that they had all gone back to prepare for lunch. Only a few curious onlookers and a group of relatives and friends of the contestants who have not finished the game cheered the contestants in the stands.

“Next game, prepare for number sixty three against number sixty six, Number sixty four and number sixty five.”

As soon as the examiner’s voice sounded, a boy who was a head taller than Maya stood up from the ground and walked directly into the ring. Maya stood up, patted the dirt on her butt, and walked up.

After the two sides stood still, the boy gave a slight bow and said, “My name is Walter Blackwood, fourteen years old, mid-level copper mage.”

Maya also responded with a slight bow. “Maya Frostbane, nine years old, high-level copper mage.”

The boy named Walter was obviously surprised and wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. It was not that the 9-year-old copper mage had never been heard of, but he had never heard of it from anyone who had reached the high level of copper at such age.

It was only at the age of twelve that he reached the level as a copper mage.

It seemed that the little girl in front of him was not an easy opponent. So, Walter couldn’t help but put away his contemptuous eyes and began to get serious.

After the two sides exchanged names, the examiner asked both sides to retreat to one side of the arena. The distance between the two was twenty meters. Two amethyst crystals were manifested in front of them, and they were ready to attack.

Following the examiner’s command to start, a thick fog immediately appeared around Maya, which quickly enveloped her.

At this time, the three water arrows fired by Walter pierced the mist and flew towards Maya’s previous position.

Just listening to the three clonking sounds, it was easy to tell as the three water arrows passed through the mist and were blocked by the protective shields around the ring, and soon they were invisible due to the disappearance of their essence power.

But at this time, Maya had already disappeared into the mist. The fog was still spreading, covering most of the arena, and was still advancing towards Walter.
