Full-Time Magister: The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

Chapter 208 The Unlucky Spanish Team

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the quarterfinals of this year's Venice World University Tournament. Without further ado, let's begin the first match, the one everyone's been waiting for—the Shenzhou team versus the Xibanya team!"

"Now approaching us is the West Bamba team..."

Before the governor could finish speaking, the audience booed.

At the entrance to the contestants' passage, Perlis watched helplessly as her mentor shielded her in front of him. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to walk at the front, bracing herself for the boos from the throng of spectators.

Perlis's pretty face flushed red, and she clenched her fists, feeling both ashamed and indignant.

"Ahem!"

The governor quickly changed the subject, "Next up is the Shenzhou team! Leading them is Instructor Ning Wei."

"The glorious deeds of Master Ning Wei are known all over the world. All countries recognize him as the strongest young mage. If he participates in the competition, the outcome of the competition will be a foregone conclusion. After discussions among the countries, we asked Master Ning Wei not to participate in the competition."

"Rumor has it that Coach Ning Wei is also a skilled teacher, a once-in-a-century talent. The Shenzhou team's current strength is largely due to his hard work!"

"Next is Mu Nujiao, the captain of the Shenzhou team, a world-renowned prodigy, who holds the title of Lord of Ten Thousand Demons..."

"Shenzhou Team! Shenzhou Team!"

"Lord Ning Wei looked at me!!!"

"I am the dog of the Goddess of Light!"

"The Demon Lord is invincible, and has won the championship!"

With a smile on his face, Mu Ningwei collected the faith and led his team into the venue amidst enthusiastic cheers.

Seeing this, Perlis looked on with envy and sighed silently.

No wonder the audience overwhelmingly supported the Shenzhou team.

Perlis knew her own limitations.

Did they advance to the quarterfinals from the treasure hunt because of their strength?

No, it was because three team members hid well and weren't eliminated.

When the results were tallied, compared to other teams that were either completely wiped out or almost completely wiped out, they actually got sixth place, advancing by default.

They just didn't expect to be so unlucky, drawing Shenzhou team as their opponent in the quarterfinals.

Perlis knew they were just going through the motions.

Of the top ten recognized star players, the Shenzhou team occupies seven spots, with only Heidi, Zheluo, and the tenth-ranked player not coming from the Shenzhou team.

With such a huge gap in strength, Perlis had absolutely no will to fight.

The two teams met.

Mu Ningwei looked at the team leader, Perlis, with surprise, glanced at their instructor hiding inside the group, smiled and nodded, and extended his palm:

"Hello there."

Perlis was so moved that she clenched her hands together, tears welling in her eyes.

Waaaaah, nobody in the world has any faith in her. The atmosphere in the team was somber after they drew the Shenzhou team.

Perlis never expected that the first smile she received would come from the enemy's mentor.

Good heavens! Ning Wei's smile is so healing. Despite his great reputation, he is still so gentle to her, his rival. Even Mu Nujiao and her group of prodigies were cultivated by him. He is really amazing!

Perlis was moved:

"Professor Ning Wei, you will be my idol from now on!"

Mu Ningwei blinked, saw the power of faith that had given birth to Peris, and chuckled as he withdrew his hand:

"Keep it up, do your best!"

"Waaaaah, I will! Instructor Ning Wei! Even if we lose, I will fight to the very last moment!"

Perlis wiped away her tears.

Mu Ningwei's eyes showed pity.

Look how pitiful they are.

Upon reflection, Mu Ningwei couldn't help but feel sorry for the unfortunate fate of the West Barja team.

In the points-based competition, their first encounter became a stepping stone for Jiang Shaoxu to gain reputation.

In the treasure hunt, Perlis encountered Ai Jiangtu at the start and was eliminated.

After overcoming numerous obstacles to reach the quarterfinals, they were then faced by the Shenzhou team.

If you had that kind of luck, you could buy lottery tickets and win by betting the opposite of what you expected.

Mu Ningwei sighed, "Captain Perlis, you've had it tough too."

Perlis burst into tears, "Waaah, my idol is so kind. I'll cheer for you guys after the match."

When Mu Nujiao and the others saw that Peris was crying, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

It feels like they're bullying each other...

Mu Ningwei smiled, "Okay, we will lift the trophy with your support. Captain Perlis, it's time for the members to come up."

Perlis wiped away her tears, sniffed, and said, "Everyone, let's go!"

"yes!"

The West Bamba team was fearless in the face of death.

Unlike the West Bamba team, which fielded their strongest five players.

The Shenzhou team has too many prodigies; whoever plays can win. All the members looked expectantly at Mu Ningwei, waiting for him to make a decision.

Mu Ning pondered:

"Tingying, Jiming, you two go up."

He promised to give the two players more playing time, and naturally he wouldn't go back on his word.

The two were pleasantly surprised, "Yes, Instructor Ning Wei!"

Mu Ning could only say, "Tingting, Ni Ni, you two should go up and show your faces too."

"Okay, Brother Mu."

"Thank you, Professor Ning Wei."

"Finally, Nujiao, you will lead the team."

Feng Li, who was initially worried that fielding too many substitutes might lead to a mishap, immediately felt relieved.

Mu Nujiao herself can easily defeat the West Banda team without needing four accessories!

Feng Li sighed:

Ning Wei is still playing it safe. In my opinion, sending Ai Jiangtu is enough.

Mu Ningwei looked at Mo Fan and the others, who were slightly disappointed, and said, "The focus is on the match against the Xiguo team and the final. You will be able to play then."

Jiang Shaoxu was already famous, so it didn't matter if she didn't appear. She nodded with a smile, "I will follow Instructor Ning Wei's arrangements."

Mo Fan and the others had no objections.

It's enough to let them play in the final, which has the highest viewership.

Mu Nujiao called out, "Let's go on stage."

"Yes, Captain!"

……

The Greek team's seating area.

Under Asha's leadership, the Xiguo team attached great importance to the Shenzhou team, with all the players and mentors present to watch the Shenzhou team's match.

Or rather, the performance of the Shenzhou team is so impressive that it's hard not to take them seriously.

Basically, the other six teams from the top eight all came to watch the game, hoping to glean some insights.

But the more they watched, the more desperate they became.

Shenzhou team sent out two support players and two substitutes this time, and Mu Nujiao did not take the first shot.

Even so, Mu Tingying, a high-level level 2 Soul-type Ice-type character and the main DPS, with the blessing of Nan Rongni, along with Zu Jiming and Bai Tingting who also received blessings, actually managed to put up a good fight against the Xibanya team.

Although Perlis and Westbanda's main players had an absolute advantage, the two healing mages of the Shenzhou team were on the field, with their endurance and resilience at their peak, and they were still unable to break through even when they were outnumbered five to four.

Keep in mind, these are the substitutes and support players for the Shenzhou team!

In the end, it was only after Perlis had her teammates hold off the four others while she retreated to gather her strength and unleash the pseudo-Cataclysmic Tsunami that she was able to secure victory.

Just as the pseudo-catastrophic tsunami was about to engulf Mu Tingying and her three companions.

Mu Nujiao made her move.

Countless plant tendrils tore the earth apart, and a colossal, towering demon rose from the ground. Thousands of vines formed a thick dam, withstanding the impact of the cataclysmic tsunami amidst the violent tremors and protecting everyone.

A massive tsunami, powerful enough to engulf several city blocks, was withstood by a colossal plant monster. The scene was far more spectacular than the treasure hunt broadcast on the big screen, eliciting screams and cheers from the audience, who found it incredibly thrilling.

It also instilled despair in other countries.

"Advanced Commander..."

"The Demon Lord, Mu Nujiao, has become even stronger!"

The Greek team's seating area.

Heidi's eyes narrowed slightly, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's normal for Mu Nujiao to become stronger.

If she hadn't awakened her transcendent power, she would probably have been defeated by a commander who had advanced to the next level, even if she had broken through to the super-level, because she wouldn't have been able to unleash super-level magic.

But if Mu Nujiao's progress is only this much with the help of her supernatural power, she will surely win!

Heidi watched as countless spectators chanted the names of Shenzhou Team and Mu Nujiao, and imagined the scene of everyone cheering for her after she defeated Mu Nujiao. Her heart was filled with excitement.

Asariya was also filled with excitement.

Asharuya looked at Mu Ningwei, a smile playing on her lips beneath her veil:

"Ning Wei, I'll let you be happy for a few more days, and then you'll witness the surprise I've prepared for you."

Ye Xinxia took in Asha's expression and smiled.

I really want to see Asha's expression when she fails.

It's definitely, definitely incredibly delicious!

Blanche looked left and right, and seeing that everyone was happy, she also smiled happily.

That's great! Heidi's strength has improved, and everyone's mood has become much more cheerful.
