Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 281 Routine Departure

As the opening team, they did not have any matches on the second day, but according to their mentors, they needed to attend the matches to familiarize themselves with the atmosphere.

As the competition continues, the schedule is set for four battles a day, with two matches each in the morning and afternoon, which is quite tight.

Unless one side has overwhelming strength, the battle will last for more than half an hour, and may even last for an hour.

After leaving the hotel, Wang Teng consciously separated from Tang Yue and Ding Yumin and went to the arena viewing area, where the contestants had their own designated area.

The outermost ring of seats was actually a private box, and they occupied one of those seats.

Upon entering, you'll see the team members sitting around a sofa, surrounded by plenty of fruits and soft drinks. It's much cooler inside than in the scorching sun outside.

When Wang Teng saw Jiang Shaoxu, he walked over to her with practiced ease and sat down on the floor.

"Looks like you had a great night!"

Jiang Shaoxu had a half-smile on her face. As soon as Wang Teng sat down, she smelled two different women's scents. Although the scents were very faint, they still did not escape her notice.

"How could this be..."

"Alright~ The match is about to start, Switzerland vs. Australia~ It's worth watching."

Wang Teng skillfully reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, without the slightest embarrassment, even though he had a very comfortable night last night and couldn't admit it now.

Jiang Shaoxu felt the warm hand on her waist and immediately rolled her eyes at him. She didn't say anything more. What could she do when his girlfriend came?

However, there seem to be fewer people today?

Looking around, Wang Teng noticed that Mo Fan was nowhere to be seen; everyone else had arrived.

Looks like that guy left the team again?

Feng Li sat alone, his face dark and unpleasant, radiating a low-pressure atmosphere and giving off an unapproachable vibe.

The mentor, Songhe, remained calm and focused, his gaze fixed on the live stream screen, seemingly oblivious to Feng Li, concentrating on analyzing the competition teams.

Zu Jiming and Guan Yu, on the other hand, had gloating expressions on their faces, watching the game intently, and even taking out their notebooks to write and draw.

Wang Teng shook his head slightly and refocused on the competition. The venue for this competition was a sandy field, and as the competition began, sandstorms swept across the field.

The assassins from both sides were locked in a fierce battle, their bayonets locked in combat amidst the yellow sand. The two sides were evenly matched, and the fighting was exceptionally intense.

Magic in many countries has its own local characteristics. For example, the Australian team is good at earth magic, while Switzerland is good at ice magic.

Ice should have been able to overcome Earth, but the battleground was a desert, which put the Swiss team at a significant disadvantage. Fortunately, they had the support of the Wind element.

More than half an hour later, the Australian team won the game.

After a half-hour break, the next match is between India and Portugal.

"I can't believe Switzerland lost. The venue really does have a huge impact on the match!"

Guan Yu immediately shared his observations: on the surface, their strengths were roughly equal, but in actual combat, Guan Yu was suppressed in every way.

"The advantage of the venue depends entirely on luck. The venue will only be modified after the participants have been selected."

"Ultimately, you have to win the game with your strength. That's the most reliable way. So you have to be half a level stronger overall to offset the disadvantages of the venue."

Ai Jiangtu shook his head and said that this meant they couldn't hide too much, otherwise accidents could easily happen.

"In that case, when we select players to compete in the future, we must be stronger. Only when the team is strong enough as a whole can we not be afraid of being at a disadvantage."

"Judging from our opening match yesterday, it seems that the other teams are not planning to hide anything. The Japanese team even had their captain on the field in their first match."

"Only by surviving the first round of eliminations will you have a chance to enter the second round of the treasure hunt!"

Wang Teng glanced at Feng Li. He was really afraid that these old men would have a relapse. They always liked to hide their secrets, and if they were not careful, they might hide it for four years.

"Don't worry, the rules set from the beginning are that whoever is stronger will have priority to play, and that won't change."

"Of course, if you encounter a weak team, you can choose to let your teammates from the back of the field have a chance to perform, that's fine too."

Songhe changed his composed expression and said with a happy smile.

Zu Jiming, Guan Yu, and Mu Tingying all showed joy on their faces, glancing at the people in the front row of the group with friendly smiles.

Finally, Coach Songhe spoke up for them; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to stop those people from insisting on going on stage.

"Mentor Songhe, don't worry, if I can go on stage, I will definitely win the match!" Zu Jiming said, patting his chest.

He was saying this to everyone present, because if he missed the opening match, and then missed the later matches, he would have even less chance to play after the treasure hunt.

Those are matches against teams from various strong nations, and the intensity is even greater, with the captain and vice-captain possibly playing together at the same time.

Mu Ningxue's strength has already proven that she has every right to participate, and Jiang Yu can play the dual roles of summoner and assassin.

Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Jue both specialize in highly functional interference and control magic, so they have a high chance of being used in battle.

Guan Yu and Mu Tingying looked at Zu Jiming with envy. Only his magic could take on the main offensive role, and he was not easily replaceable.

"Let's see the battle schedule later..." Feng Li composed himself and replied quietly, still not quite trusting these people.

Given the choice, he naturally prioritizes securing victory.

With a few cards in hand, he can play them however he wants, without needing to consider other people's opinions too much.

Upon hearing Feng Li's words, they immediately fell silent and stopped discussing the topic to avoid annoying others.

Time passed quickly, and the competition started again. This time, the terrain was hilly, resembling a cluster of bamboo shoots standing on the field.

With very limited visibility, it's a battlefield that favors assassins and destruction mages, and the terrain appears even more cramped.

Surprisingly, Portugal won. Their team composition included two shadow mages, whose ability to ambush and harass was too strong, gradually wearing down their opponents' fighting power.

The Indian team had a healing mage and a defensive mage, and the battle was a back-and-forth struggle that lasted for an hour and a half before it ended.

This gave them a glimpse into a magical battle of a completely different style. After the battle, the two shadow mages were utterly exhausted.

"Let's go~ Come back this afternoon!" Wang Teng prepared to get up and leave.

The two matches in the morning didn't have any noteworthy aspects or particularly strong players. They either relied on terrain advantages or unconventional strategies, plus a bit of luck.

Otherwise, it's still uncertain who wins and who loses, and this kind of competition isn't worth his attention, nor can it reveal anything.

If he were to take the field, he could easily crush a group with a single teleportation, or launch the opponent like a cannonball with a single retreat.
