Magical Cat

Soon, the first six rounds of the competition were over, leaving only the final round.

After a long wait, Lee En and Elaine finally got their chance to play.

"Are you ready?"

Melina asked both sides of the competition.

The students also paid close attention to this event.

They wanted to see just how far Elaine could go.

As for those who think Elaine will win, there aren't many.

From the beginning, everyone thought that the numerical advantage would be significant.

After watching several matches, everyone had a better understanding of the situation.

Their current level of competition is all about whose magic can hit the other first.

If the magic hits, there are two possible outcomes: either you are eliminated on the spot, or your spellcasting is disrupted.

Even with magical items for protection, no one has ever survived a spell without being interrupted.

Once you get the first move, you'll be ahead every step of the way, essentially securing the final victory.

Elaine was alone, while there were two on the other side.

The scene that followed was not hard to predict.

If the opposing team has one player responsible for disrupting spellcasting and another responsible for dealing damage, then Elaine is destined to lose.

While it's possible to dodge magic by moving around, it's impossible to cast spells while moving.

If you cast a spell after standing still, both sides will be on the same starting line again, and you might even miss the opportunity and waste energy because of positioning.

Positioning was effective at the beginning, but after a few matches, everyone focused more on disrupting spellcasting.

The limitations of positioning were also evident in previous matches.

That means you're not running fast enough, or your opponent has anticipated your move, which basically means you're handing victory over to your opponent.

Because if you choose to move first, your win rate will be even lower.

Although only six matches have been played, everyone already has their own data analysis results.

"Safina, do you think Elaine has a chance of winning?"

The students gathered together to watch the game, and someone asked the top student in the class a question.

After all, Safina was the only one in the class qualified to evaluate Elaine, and everyone trusted her analysis.

Safina adjusted her glasses and said confidently, "I think Elaine has a very high chance of winning. As for how many matches she can win, it depends on whether she has enough magic to continue the duels."

Safina's confidence in Elaine caused a stir among the students.

"Safina, you're not saying this because you're close to Elaine, are you? This is two against one!"

Even those who have the utmost respect for top students have raised questions.

Safina didn't speak, but just gave a haughty snort.

Soon after, Melina announced the start.

"Summoning raging fire from the heavens, gathering the fiery essence..."

Elaine didn't hold back at all and started singing loudly right away.

The two people opposite remained unmoved and also chanted the incantation.

But they soon realized something was wrong; Elaine was chanting spells faster than any of them.

Even the person in charge of interfering with the magic couldn't outrun Elaine.

The next moment, a huge fireball shot over.

The two opposite him gritted their teeth and continued to cast spells.

Anyway, Elaine can only eliminate one of them. As long as the survivor hits the magic target, victory will still be theirs.

Not only is casting spells less efficient when playing alone, but you also lose a life.

But none of these negative factors could stop Elaine.

Elaine's fireball missed everyone, landing instead between the two people opposite her.

Having witnessed previous battles, everyone knew that at the start, it was important to keep a distance from teammates to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

The two of them were both delighted, thinking that Elaine's magic had gone astray.

But the next moment, the heat wave from the fireball explosion knocked them all to the ground.

The magic was forcibly interrupted, causing both of them to feel a sharp pain in their heads and fall into a terrible state.

Immediately afterwards, two beams of fire lit up their bodies, activating the protective water shield.

Elaine defeated the opponent with overwhelming force, using only three spells.

What's even more terrifying is that these three spells were cast so quickly that the opponent couldn't even cast a single spell.

The duel ended, but the students were all stunned and stood there.

Even Melina, who was a teacher, shook her head and chuckled.

Only Lee En, standing at Elaine's feet, remained calm throughout the entire event.

He quietly retracted his tail, which was resting against Elaine, and yawned.

Li En didn't even make a move; he merely assisted Elaine in casting the spell.

He hadn't missed any of the wand techniques he had learned before.

During recent practical classes, Li Enke has been assisting Yilian.

As for Elaine, she learned a lot of magical techniques from Li En that went beyond the knowledge of a first-year student.

Li En herself loves tinkering with these techniques, and with strong instructors guiding her, she naturally lets loose and experiment freely.

Especially since it might trigger a mission, his enthusiasm remained consistently high.

"Eleanor's team wins!"

Melina announced the results, bringing the stunned students back to their senses.

"Wait, why is the chanting so fast?"

"Not only was it fast, but its power was outrageous. One fireball knocked down two people. Who would believe that..."

"The two fire attacks that followed were just right, eliminating them without giving them any time to react."

After a period of study, the students have mastered two or three basic spells.

For example, in addition to the initial fireball, Elaine also learned flame impact and fire resistance ring.

Among them, Flame Impact is the magic most fire-attribute students choose.

This spell is not only quick to cast, but also has no magical trajectory. It directly detonates a fire attack on the target. Apart from its short casting range and lower power than a fireball, it has almost no drawbacks.

The Fire Resistance Ring creates a halo centered on the caster, pushing away nearby enemies and inflicting burning damage. It is quite useful, but the casting time is longer than Fireball, and if the timing is not right, it is easy to miss.

Students who have mastered three basic spells are among the top students in the class; most have only mastered the second one.

While everyone was amazed by Elaine's overwhelming strength, they couldn't help but glance at Safina again.

Judging from the current results, only Safina saw through Elaine's true strength from the very beginning.

After a moment of stunned silence, Safina was the first among her classmates to come to her senses.

She scrutinized Elaine through her glasses, finally fixing her gaze on the languid-looking Lee En.

"This is getting more and more outrageous..."

Safina thought to herself.

Of all the students, she was probably the one who knew best that Elaine's performance just now was only partly due to her own strength.

Most importantly, it was the assistance provided by her magical beast.

Otherwise, even the most talented person would not be able to cast three high-quality spells so smoothly if their magic level was still at the level of a magic apprentice.

"The speed of casting spells, the quality of magic, even the amount of magic power..."

"Eleanor's magical beast can provide support in every aspect!"

Safina swallowed hard, eagerly anticipating facing Elaine.

She was so eager to experience it for herself that she couldn't wait!
