The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

Fire cats are naturally resistant to high temperatures so she was fine, but the fish next to her that had been burnt and fallen off was already emitting a burnt aroma.

"Ah...! Look, Xia! She really brought fish! I told you, how could the Fire Cats go out without fish? They love fish the most!"

“Is now the time to validate ethnic food preferences?!”

Xia retracted her hand that was about to draw out the holy sword to destroy [Dragon Explosion Purgatory], her brows twitching as she looked at Xuefei's little finger that had just been raised and now fell.

"Hey Xuefei...wasn't that what you did just now?"

“Ahaha… It’s me, isn’t it?” Miss Xia Ya retracted her finger, looking innocently away, “Let me make it clear… I haven’t done anything that affects public order.”

"I'm not blaming you... You did the right thing just now, otherwise there would definitely be a riot. No... I'm just curious about what you did just now? Ninth-level magic, and it disappeared directly?"

"You don't blame me? Oh oh! Then I told you! Xia, you have a bad memory. You forgot about the [Improved Storage Magic]? I told you, this trick is neat and easy, absolutely convenient! Hehe, it's worthy of being my improved magic!"

"You collected the ninth-level magic...?"

"correct."

Row.

Xia Ya held her forehead and shook her head in agreement.

But vaguely, she seemed to be aware of a problem.

"But... the storage space for magic should be limited, right? With such a large area to store [Dragon Explosion Purgatory], don't you have anything in your warehouse that is afraid of burning?"

"!"

It's over...

My Xuefei opened her mouth slightly, and her face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xue Feiya quickly closed her eyes and meditated to confirm.

As the confirmation progressed, her face became more and more sad!

"It's broken! The gold coins inside are still intact!"

"The gold coins are still there, why are you so sad?!"

"But there are a few big fish in there that were burnt...burned to charcoal! I'm saving them for later!"

"Could it be that..."

Xia turned her head to look at the big charcoal-grilled fish that was still steaming and no one was paying attention to it after the Fire Cat girl was taken away by the clinic staff.

Xia has gradually understood everything.

"It turns out that the Fire Cats didn't bring the fish with them in the end. The big fish fell out of your storage magic, Xue Fei."

Xue Feiya looked at the big fish that she had just laughed at...

Now I feel like crying but I have no tears.

Wow, turns out that’s my big fish!

Damn you Fire Dragons...! If you're participating in the competition, just play well. Why are you setting fire to the venue when you have nothing better to do?

Miss Xia Ya clenched her fists and looked angrily in the direction where the tall, red-haired fire dragon was standing.

——But he found that her golden and red eyes, representing the dragon clan, were also staring at him.

Oh wow, this guy is quite perceptive. He knows that the person who used magic just now was from my side?

Not afraid of her glare, Xia followed closely while protecting Xuefia's gaze, and the two-in-one glare put the dragon girl at a disadvantage in an instant.

The red-haired girl named Dimani from the Fire Dragon Clan smacked her lips, muttered something in a low voice, then turned around and took heavy but elegant steps, heading out of the passage.

The distance was too far, so I naturally couldn't hear clearly what she said.

But judging by her mouth shape, she should be saying...

--have a finger in the pie.

Damn Salamander! It was you who started the fire first, why are you being unreasonable?

If Miss Xia Ya hadn't been a spectator today, I would have definitely gone on stage and kicked her tail hard!

As Timani left without looking back, the completely confused host, upon the referee's reminder, quickly picked up the loudspeaker crystal to announce the result of the game.

At the same time, the Kingdom Knights attracted by the riot had surrounded the arena.

[Yes... Miss Dimani of the Fire Dragon Clan won! But unfortunately... Actually, this friend of the Fire Dragon Clan will only participate in this round of the competition as a special guest. We... Our schedule will continue later, please take a break! ]

After saying this, the host hurriedly went down the stage to report the situation to the responsible knight of the Kingdom Knights, and the competition entered a brief pause.

Because the fire dragon girl glared at Xuefei just now, Xia didn't have a good impression of her.

"Really...Xuefei, you shouldn't have helped her. You helped her out but she didn't appreciate it. This is a bit too much."

"I help her out...?"

"Yes, I suspect that her magic power is very strong, but her control over magic is too poor. The fire magic just now should be because she couldn't retract it. You helped her to retract the magic and no actual damage was caused. In this way, the Kingdom Knights cannot hold her accountable, which is equivalent to helping her out."

"Hiss... I feel like I'm getting even angrier. I'd better not let her run into me again! Otherwise... hmph, if you can't eat the fish, you'll have to bear the consequences!"

"I probably won't see you again..."

Didn’t the referee just say that?

She will only compete in one round - this should be a matter of spur-of-the-moment decision by the referee.

Feeling the danger level of the Fire Dragon Clan participating in the competition, the organizer would not allow her to enter the next round. The magic she cast just now almost caused casualties. If that were the case, the organizer would lose more than the compensation alone.

However, the Fire Dragon Clan will not be troubled and will not suffer any losses. The Kingdom Knights still have to give face to the high-level races. After all, the kingdom's long-term stability also relies on the high-level races' checks and balances on the demons.

Xue Feiya looked at the delicious food on the table in front of her.

Well... She thought that regarding the fact that she subconsciously used the flame magic just now to protect the food from being burned to ashes... it's better not to talk about it.

Well, I won’t say anymore.

Otherwise it would seem like I'm so greedy.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the game process was now in complete chaos.

The top four of the semi-finals should have been decided, but now, except for the second prince Mirh Olus who is still waiting in the waiting area, the places of other contestants have become less clear.

The girl from the Fire Dragon Clan won, but the dragon ran away, leaving a vacant spot in the semi-finals.

The opponent who was originally going to fight against the second prince chose to give up directly. After all, it was more practical to just take the money and run away than to go on stage and act with the prince.

According to the kingdom's custom, the last spot in the top four will go directly to the champion of the previous arena competition.

If you remember correctly, the last champion was a mysterious seventh-level kingdom magician who was extremely powerful.

With two contestants missing, the semi-finals could of course be treated directly as the finals. In any case, the organizers knew that the prince must win in the end.

But...it's too early to have the finals now.

Because the time does not match that marked on the ticket, many activities cannot be carried out and it is difficult for the organizer to recover the gold coins.

So, during the time when the game was suspended, the organizers came up with an emergency plan and urged the host to go on stage to announce it.

After experiencing today's turmoil, the host was already sweating coldly.

But his professionalism still allowed him to stand back in the middle of the arena.

He read out this plan, which in his opinion was quite unreasonable.

There is no way...

The gold coins offered by the organizer must be whatever they say!

[Hahaha... Dear audience, we have a special process for this competition! Miss Dimani of the Fire Dragon Clan is the winner but has left the stage. We now have a vacant spot. Dear audience! Anyone who wants to participate in the competition can sign up! Don’t you want to experience the opportunity to directly ascend to the highest arena in the capital? You don’t need to advance, and you can directly get a spot in the semi-finals. It is very likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ]

As expected, the discussion in the entire arena reached its climax.

The hosts now want to get off work quickly.

Oh... look at those contestants who have been eliminated, their expressions clearly look like they want to tear him apart.

After competing for a long time, I was eliminated and was covered in injuries. Can any spectator at the scene sign up to participate in the semi-finals?

If I had known this would happen, why would I have gone through so many rounds? Wouldn't it be better to just wait in the audience to sign up?

Especially the lizardman who was almost roasted, he was in tears!

Just because these powerful people think so, it doesn’t mean that the audience and nobles at the scene think so too.

How could civilians have any strength? Even if they sign up for the semi-finals, wouldn't they just go up and get beaten up and then come down?

This is even more true for the nobility.

If you know you can't win the championship, why bother going there and making a fool of yourself?

The host felt very uncomfortable standing there. Even though he was a professional, he now had no idea how to control the situation.

The organizer requires that someone must come up to compete...anyone will do.

The problem is that anyone with a little bit of intelligence would know that this is not allowed!

Just as the host looked around in confusion.

In the VIP seats closest to the edge of the venue...

A small hand was slowly raised.

Ah...there really are fools!

The host seemed to see the rescue

Like a star! I almost cried!

Silly... No, you are a hero! You are a hero!

At the host's hasty signal, the person in charge of the competition registration hurriedly ran from the other side of the venue towards Count Xia Ya.

During this process, Xia Zhen tried hard to suppress her little hand, but failed!

"Xue Fei...?! Didn't you say that we won't attract attention? How can we go up to compete? Magic will definitely be used in the competition, and using magic will risk exposing your identity! Remember to stay hidden, stay hidden!"

"Ah?" Xue Feiya blinked, the words "bad idea" were almost written on her face, "Xia, if you have the money, you'd be a fool not to take it. Look, the gold coins are all there, they're given to us. If we don't take them, wouldn't that be a shame to our souls?"

"But...!"

"Don't worry~ I didn't say I wanted to participate."

"I can't participate in the competition either? As a hero..."

"I know, I didn't say it was you. We have a better and more suitable candidate here, don't you realize it?"

"?"

....................................

The new top four contestants appeared in the west passage.

She just stood there motionless, but the eyes of pity and grief in the audience were already flickering. Some audience members even stood up and denounced the organizers for having no bottom line!

Woo...Organizers, are you crazy about money?

To let such a young girl participate in such a cruel fighting competition...!

Yes.

The one standing there stupidly was the little holy sword Siletra.

"Huh...? Where are we? This is weird."

She was wearing a cute dark blue dress, with long, slightly curly blue hair falling on her shoulders. She looked like a delicate little girl whose hands might be broken if she lifted a stone.

[Let us welcome the contestant Xila recommended by Lord Xia! Although she is young, I heard that contestant Xila has certain fighting ability! Let us look forward to it... Hey, let's look forward to it! ]

It can be seen that the host did not have any expectations when he sighed.

Siletra turned her head and looked towards the VIP seats.

Lady Xuefiya is waving her arms high to cheer herself up.

At the same time, Xuefia pointed in the direction of the podium, signaling Xiletela to take it!

Siletra looked in that direction.

All I saw on the podium was a huge, shining golden trophy!

Siletra was stunned for a moment.
