Therefore, when Shu Hsingnan used all her strength to swing the wand at it, the crystal easily shattered.
The judge's shocked expression froze on his face.
The whole team of Nowinter City Academy seemed to have not realized what had happened. The captain and his team members looked at each other in dismay. The wand in their hands fell to the ground.
"Referee, she cheated!"
Although they did not know what had happened, they felt that it was not wrong to accuse their opponent of cheating.
A short commotion broke out in the audience. They couldn't understand how that mysterious black-haired girl did it. Most of the people who came here to watch the battle were people who had a certain level of understanding towards mages. And everyone knew that it was very difficult for the magician to hide its magic surges. It was almost impossible.
In the ten battles that were going to be held today, the competition between the second team of the Lotterdall Royal School of Magic Theory and the Nowinter City Mage Academy was not the type that attracted people's attention. They were neither evenly matched nor strong enough to make the audience cheer just for the appearance of that team. Before the start of the match, almost everyone thought that the Nowinter City team would continue with their usual fighting style. They would slowly use their level and magic power to break the defensive towers of the second team of RMI one by one to carry out a long and unsuspenseful battle.
Many of the audience and Riko were already sleepy when they saw the afternoon.
So the current situation was something that most people did not expect.
In less than three minutes after the referee shouted the start, a member of the RMI arrived at the opponent's spawn point and smashed their crystal with a wand.
What was this?
The referee and the host were caught in a dilemma. In the end, the referee jumped into the field and called Shu Hsingnan over to ask a few questions. Very quickly, the host announced that the RMI's second team did not violate any rules of the assembly. They won the battle.
This match ended very quickly. It was a small interlude on the first day of the competition. Even though Shu Hsingnan had successfully defeated the team that should have been able to enter the top 16 by stealing, no one saw them as a real threat. This tactic could only be used once. In the future battles, the opponent would definitely activate all the defensive towers and shields at once.
"You taught them this move?"
Loli Merlin turned her head and looked surprised.
"No. "
Riko herself was also slightly surprised.
But she had more or less expected that such a thing would happen. After all, she knew that Shu Hsingnan and the others had a bunch of messy tools and potions that could cause various magical effects, so she was not that surprised.
This extremely fast battle was considered an interesting interlude in more than ten matches in a day, and it attracted the attention of people for a short while. But very quickly, the attention of the audience was once again drawn away by the other teams.
The day passed very quickly.
The first round of elimination, which had been eliminated by half of the sixty-four teams, would last for three whole days. The second team of RMI, which had finished the battle on the first day, would naturally feel much more relaxed in the next two days.
While the main team was nervously arranging their tactics to deal with the opponents that they were about to face, Shu Hsingnan led the group into the city.
Shu Hsingnan had already spent her childhood in Far East Witch Tower. It was naturally not her first time going to Shuntian. She was the most familiar with this city among the group.
The architectural style of Minlan Empire was very different from Aldran. There was not a single church here. The roof of the slanted houses was paved with tiles. Most of the buildings were shorter than the Lotterdall, but the buildings here were very dense. The tallest building, apart from the Far East Witch Tower in the distant fog, was the imperial palace in the center of the city.
As a huge empire that was even bigger than Aldran and Plane Colony, the central government had always used various methods to strengthen its control over the country. Their thousands of years of management had created the supreme impression of imperial power in the hearts of the people of Minglan.
Riko and the others' magic robes looked very different from the attire of the people passing through here, but very few people openly pointed at them and discussed. The civilians would only secretly turn their heads around and cast curious gazes. At most, a few people would whisper to each other.
The crowd walked through the narrow streets. Many of the roads here could only barely pass through a carriage. Shu Hsingnan heard the hawker's voice echoing in the air.
"What is this?"
Riko pointed to the side of the road.
Its appearance was difficult to describe. It looked like it was connected by several fiery-red balls that made people's hair stand on end. The long and thin stick made from the trunk of the plant was wrapped in a layer of irregular and crazy transparent solid. It was about ten centimeters long, and it was inserted into the strange three-wheeled vehicle of the Horrifying upright Ape. As the vehicle moved, it began to tremble.
Shu Hsingnan glanced at it.
"This is a candied gourd. Ms Rikku, do you want one?"
Riko nodded lightly.
After Shu Hsingnan talked to the peddler, Riko took out a bunch of copper coins from the mage's robe's storage space and gave it to the peddler.
She took the candied fruit gourd and took a small bite.
"It's so sour."
Fortunately, the layer of sugar wrapped around the candied haws was sweet.
"What's this red fruit?"
"Hawthorn." Shu Hsingnan replied.
"What is that?"
"Hawthorn is hawthorn."
Two days later.
Team One defeated their opponent with great difficulty after being fully prepared. This was just as everyone had expected.
Originally, half of the sixty-four teams had left, but if a team wanted to enter the round-robin, they had to win another round of elimination matches.
Shu Hsingnan, as the captain, went on stage to draw lots.
Riko tilted her head and leaned against Meiko's arm in the audience seats.
Although it was winter, the sky was still blue.
The host announced the names of the teams that had passed the first round of eliminations.
As the captain, Shu Hsingnan would draw lots to decide her opponent for the second round.
Riko noticed that when she took the note, she put away her smile and narrowed her eyes.
