Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 393: Gloria's Martial Virtue

The students who were able to participate in the College Cup had already adapted to the strange feeling brought about by teleportation through repeated holiday practices. However, as soon as they entered the venue, everyone staggered as if they were drunk.

Lulu screamed and almost fell down, but her guardian was quick to catch her.

Everyone looked at their feet and fell silent.

This time, the venue was covered with yellow sand...

It turned out that the white fog under the light curtain outside the stadium was not intentional by the designer. It was just water vapor condensed due to the huge temperature difference between the inside of the stadium and the outside. When all the players had entered the stadium, the white fog that blocked the view finally dissipated. The audience outside the stadium saw the players who had entered and began to cheer again.

"Oh! Our dwarf friends have brought us a new competition venue. This time it's a desert landscape!" Instructor Hurst's voice rang out. The new audience outside the stadium never thought that there would be such a big difference between inside and outside the stadium. Some people have never seen a desert in their entire lives! At this time, just looking at this strange scenery, it feels worth the ticket price.

"——The last time I went to the desert, I was still a young boy who knew nothing! Oh Rebecca! Have you ever eaten the fruit of a cactus? It tastes good, but it has too many seeds..." Hurst started chatting with his commentary partner, who rolled his eyes at him. Hurst felt bored and smacked his lips before returning to the conversation. "It's just that our stadium is a little emptier this year than in the past!"

"Don't worry. When has Mr. Suo Rong and his team ever let us down?" Teacher Rebecca's cool voice came.

"You're right! It's really warm to see such desert scenery in winter. Oh, it seems our contestants have felt it too, hahaha!" Instructor Hurst's voice became gloating.

There is a huge temperature difference between inside and outside the stadium. Compared to the damp and cold outside, it is like a steaming steamer inside. Some athletes had made sufficient preparations to keep warm, but now they can't wait to take them off and are busy sweating.

"It's so hot! Did those dwarves hide the Molten Core for the forge down there!?"

Lucas untied his protective gear and pulled out the leather armor underneath. It was extremely hot and stuffy here. The sand under his feet had pits in it with every step. It was soft and hot to step on. He felt as if he had no strength. He felt like a fish that had been thrown on the deck and exposed to the sun for three days. It was extremely uncomfortable.

"Hey! Look at those guys outside who are shivering with cold. Maybe we are much more comfortable than them!" Lilith pulled her feet out of the sand, took a few steps to adapt herself, then turned around and began to boost morale.

The huge hourglass hanging high above their heads slowly turned with a creaking sound, and the light inside began to fall at a uniform speed. The competition has officially begun, but all the teams have not started to move. This year's venue is really beyond their expectations. In the yellow sand, there are only some huge stone pillars eroded by wind and sand. Each of them has a bizarre shape and is placed in the entire stadium without any rules like chess pieces.

Apart from this, there was nothing else. Through the wind and sand, the sharp-eyed Lilith could even see the blurry figures of other teams in the distance. Everyone looked for a long time but did not see the familiar red boxes that contained surprises and shocks from previous years.

"Could it be above those places?" Bobby watched for a long time and signaled with his eyes the towering strange stone pillars in the distance.

"We'll know when we go over and take a look." Lilith squinted her eyes and made a decision. The game time was limited and every minute was precious. The most wasteful behavior would be to do nothing.

"Look! The Red Team is moving!"

As Lilith and the others moved towards the nearest stone pillar, Instructor Hurst cheered excitedly. Perhaps because of hearing this, the other teams also began to move at the same time. In the yellow sand, the contestants' black robes were extremely conspicuous, like chess pieces moving in the sandbox.

Walking in the boiling sand was an experience that none of the students had ever had. The strong wind carried the sand and dust, like a surging yellow tide, slapping everyone's face wantonly, causing unbearable pain.

"Oh, sorry for the trouble..."

At this moment, they had already rushed to the side of a huge stone pillar. What gave Lilith a bigger headache than having her mouth and nose filled with sand was that she had prepared various plant seeds for this competition, but they simply could not grow in such an environment.

This place really affects her performance! The original plan to use magic to climb up was disrupted, so... Ian and Lilith looked at each other and climbed up directly with their bare hands.

"It's fine if we go up alone." Lilith stopped Bobby who wanted to follow. "It's too dry here. People will get exhausted quickly. We need to save our energy—"

Before she finished her words, a new wave of sound suddenly came from outside the light curtain. The audience didn't know what they saw, but they started cheering again. Lilith stood on tiptoe and looked towards the field. She saw a magical halo vibrating in a certain direction in the distance.

——A team has already met head-on, so fast?!

In the elimination match among four teams, everyone's tactics were naturally different. Compared to Lilith and her team who were focused on finding the Scare Box containing the afterimage of the Void Beast, some teams chose to eliminate their opponents first. If they could eliminate all the members of other teams, they would naturally no longer have to face the unknown dangers hidden in the arena by those malicious dwarves.

Therefore, not long after the start, the white team tied with white towels directly launched an attack on the other team. For a moment, magical light was flying all over the sky. The ordinary audience outside the stadium who had never seen such a scene let out bursts of exclamations - this game was not false propaganda, it was indeed very exciting!

Not only magic, there were also many people dressed as warriors moving around, some charging in the front, some guarding the rear. Aryan looked at those agile young men holding sharp blades, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Maybe what Giselle said was right. He had been a rat underground for too long and couldn't keep up with the times... Wasn't Goletia a magic school? How come he was... full of martial virtue now?

"Why is this the teaching style in this damn place now?"

Aryan complained in a low voice to the people beside him. In winter, when watching the game outdoors, everyone was wearing very warm clothes. Aryan and Giselle were also like those humans, wearing thick plush hats that just covered their pointed ears. They looked no different from humans, but this thing was too thick and seemed to affect their hearing. Giselle ignored him again.

"Hey!" Aryan was still not giving up and poked Giselle again, only to find that this guy wasn't watching the game at all!

"You're not still looking for your former colleagues or students, are you?" Aryan saw Giselle looking around and poured cold water on him mercilessly, "Don't even think about it. They must have died a long time ago, and in the eyes of others, you are now...

It's just an immortal monster."

Aryan's words were so cruel that Giselle turned around and wanted to scold him, but she saw a look of self-loathing on her friend's face.

Giselle's counterattack was blocked in his chest, and he turned his head and ignored him. The two of them were like childish children, sulking in silence with each other in the noisy crowd.
