Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 326 First Victory

The Sakura Kingdom's national team averted their attention and began to professionally discuss how to deal with the Chinese national team. Their mentor, Fujiwara Nobuko, however, did not share the optimism of her students. She glanced warily at Lin Chen in the Chinese team and said, "Don't forget that it was that guy who took care of Kasuo back then."

"Mentor, Kaso's strength from the Red Ornament Guild is definitely exaggerated. Besides, there was a Temple Mage there at the time, so Kaso was definitely captured with the help of the Temple Mage," Ming Busong said disdainfully. No one saw the specific details of the battle at the time, and when Lin Chen reappeared, the Temple Mage was also by his side.

"Don't underestimate him. He defeated Mochizuki Chika in the National Tournament more than half a year ago. A long time has passed, and his strength must be even stronger now," Fujikata Nobuko said.

"That guy is indeed impressive, but apart from that man, the others in their team are just so-so. Does that guy think he can carry the entire team by himself?" Yosuke, who had just been replaced by the Nationalist team, said.

"No matter what, you all need to be vigilant and take this seriously. This is the first round of the competition, so don't let me get swept out in the first round," Fujikata Nobuko said seriously.

"Speaking of which, it seems like we're in the opening match!" Jiang Yu said seriously, looking at the draw slips.

At first, everyone was so focused on which team they were playing against that they completely forgot to check the match order. It wasn't until they carefully looked at the match list displayed on the big screen that they realized they were playing the opening match!

The opening match is naturally the most important event, as it truly attracts global attention. If you can perform well in the opening match, you'll basically become famous!

"I'll go! I want to take on those Japanese devils!" Guan Yu was exceptionally excited, especially upon hearing it was the opening match.

My heart immediately surged with excitement.

Such a high-profile opening match is the easiest way to make a name for yourself and your powerful network on the world stage.

However, since the mentors are present, the lineup for the contestants will be decided by them.

"The opening match is a 5-on-5 team competition." After Feng Li finished speaking, his gaze swept over everyone. He first looked at Mu Tingying, Nan Rongni, Li Kaifeng, and Zu Jiming, and said in a calm tone, "None of you have fully recovered from your injuries, so you shouldn't participate in this opening match."

"Mentor, my injuries have healed, please let me go on stage!" Mu Yingting and the other three immediately became anxious and hurriedly spoke up.

"You all stay put! I don't want our country to be eliminated in the first round because of you!" Instructor Feng Li snorted coldly, immediately silencing Mu Yingting and the others.

Missing such a great opportunity, Mu Tingying, Zu Jiming, and Li Kaifeng were so angry that they glared at Mo Fan as if they wanted to burn him to ashes with the fire in their eyes.

Mo Fan, on the other hand, looked gloating. He had no particular concern about whether or not they participated in the opening match. He just felt that he hadn't gone easy on them and should have beaten them so badly that they wouldn't be able to participate in any of the subsequent matches.

Mentor Feng Li glanced at Mo Fan beside him and said coldly, "This is all your doing. Don't go on in the first round either."

"No, I won't go. As long as my Xuexue can go, that's fine," Mo Fan said, shrugging.

Instructor Feng Li nodded and said, "Mu Ningxue, Jiang Shaoxu, Guan Yu, Jiang Yu, and—"

Before mentor Feng Li could finish speaking, Dean Song He stepped forward and reminded him, "The strength of the Sakura Country is not weak either. It's not good to conserve our strength like this. Since we're not letting Mo Fan go, at least one of Ai Jiangtu or Lin Chen should go."

Feng Li pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Lin Chen and Ai Jiangtu.

It's clear that Coach Feng Li still wants to preserve the strength of the National Team, given that this year's National Team is of a very high standard.

"Old Feng, we still need to win this first match." A somewhat aged voice came from behind the rest area.

"Teacher!" Jiang Yu hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully called out, "Teacher!"

"You two are both doing very well, making it to Venice without incident." Behind Chief Pang Lai was an acquaintance of Lin Chen and Mo Fan, Han Ji, the president of the Clock Tower Magic Association.

"President Han Ji." Lin Chen and Mo Fan nodded and greeted him.

After a brief chat, everyone turned their attention back to the performers.

Instructor Feng Li still harbored the idea of ​​concealing his strength and was unable to choose a suitable person, fearing that someone would target them based on the strength they had revealed.

"This is the first match, and there are so many things involved. If we lose, the public opinion will put a lot of pressure on the players and will also bring a sense of urgency to all of us. We must win the first battle," said Chief Mage Pang Lai.

"Then let me go. I'll just summon an advanced-stage commander-level undead and wipe them out instantly. Anyway, necromancy isn't my main focus," Lin Chen volunteered.

Upon hearing this, the mentors, Chief Pang Lai, and President Han Ji all thought for a moment and then agreed.

According to their understanding, although Lin Chen's strength lies mainly in the summoning system, his other systems are also quite strong, and he is considered to be among the top-tier players in the National Team.

Therefore, the final lineup of players was determined to be: Lin Chen, Mu Ningxue, Jiang Yu, Jiang Shaoxu, and Guan Yu. After discussing the competition tactics, the players began to prepare for the competition.

After the venue was prepared, the players from both sides stepped into their designated positions one after another.

As the match began, Mu Ningxue was the first to unleash her domain. An extremely cold force spread outwards from Mu Ningxue, instantly turning the entire arena into an extreme icebox.

Under the influence of Mu Ningxue's ice-based domain, the members of the Sakura Kingdom began to stiffen their limbs, even losing control of Xingzi's abilities.

Connecting star trails has become much more difficult.

Seeing that Mu Ningxue's domain was extremely powerful and provided him with an excellent opportunity to fight, Guan Yu immediately used shadow magic to sneak towards the location of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom. Jiang Yu summoned a huge rock monster to stand in front of the team and protect everyone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Chen summoned the advanced-stage commander-level grizzly undead.

The moment the gerbil ghost appeared in the middle of the field, it completely drew the attention of the Sakura Kingdom's national team.

They had been thinking about how to target Lin Chen's summoned beasts. Although Lin Chen's summoned beasts were strong, their strength was only around that of a minor or middle commander. With some effort, they could still limit them.

As a result, Lin Chen summoned an advanced-stage commander-level undead.

For the Sakura Kingdom National Team, whose strength is generally still at the first level of the high-level tier, with only a few at the second level of the high-level tier,

It was a nightmare level of difficulty, not to mention that Lin Chen had four teammates supporting him.

With the departure of the Gerbil, the match became one-sided.

Because the gerbil spirits were already dead, the magic released by the Sakura Kingdom was completely unable to stop their attack, and the gerbil spirits' attack was simply beyond the Sakura Kingdom's ability to withstand.

Under Mu Ningxue's superb control of ice magic, the members of the Sakura Kingdom's national team were like sitting ducks.

Standing still and waiting for the gerbil undead to attack, they were directly cleared out of the arena by the gerbil undead.

With the elimination of the last member from the Sakura Country, the competition came to an end.

"China wins the first match!"
