Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic

Chapter 178 One On One Battle (Part I)

Taking a short snack break, I felt a little refreshed. Everyone on my team was one hundred percent ready.

As long as we don't get unlucky and have one of our team members match up with a strong opponent, then we should be fine.

"We're back! With our final event! This was the first day, and we saw what many teams could do!"

The crowd was riled up from the previous two events. Many actions had boiled the blood of others. In contrast, many close calls happened to make the fans worried. This was like a drama movie. Anything could happen.

"Our final event is a one-on-one battle!"

Everyone in the crowd was most excited by this event. After all, this fight had no gimmicks. This was a straightforward, one-on-one battle, and the winner would be the strongest.

"One of the ten teams will have a member of their team randomly selected!"

"Once the random person is selected, they will be randomly paired up with another team that also had a person randomly picked, and the both of them will have to fight!"

"The fight's winner will receive five points while the loser will gain none!"

"Now, without further ado. Let's begin the event!"

With the explanation, the event started. From the looks of it, they will be doing the selection one by one.

The first team that will be fighting will be someone from Team Uthua. And the girl that was picked goes by the name Amanda.

And Amanda's opponent will be someone from Team Grandelle. The people from Grandelle couldn't help but cheer for their side.

Then, someone by the name of Nilly was picked. I have no idea how strong these two people were, as I haven't seen enough of their team's strength.

Going on the stage, the two began to glare at one another. The round hadn't started yet, but they were already on edge.

"Who do you think will win?"

Serena, who was bored, asked my opinion on who would win.

"I don't know and don't care."

Grandelle and Uthua posed no threat. I had made it clear that Team Uthua was pretty weak when I had beaten them in the maze. Like Uthua, I also had Grandelle on the list of not being much of a threat.

"Really? Then I will say Nilly will win."

Without saying anything else, we watched the fight. The battle was about to begin, the judge counted down, and both were prepared to fight.

"Go!"

Nilly, who is a Winged Human, had spread her wings. And Amanda, who was also a Winged Human, was battling.

Amanda, whose magic was paper, had sent a paper knife toward Nilly. I wondered how strong these papers were. Could they cut metal? Or would it be as strong as a paper cut?

Nilly's, whose magic was some barrier, had blocked every attack from Amanda. Nilly held a long sword.

As someone who uses a close-range weapon, Nilly had to get to Amanda as close as possible. In comparison, Amanda would have to go as far away as possible.

Two of these people were total opposites in terms of fighting. Nilly's barrier magic was overpowering Amanda's paper.

All of Amanda's attacks were rendered useless. Amanda could only try to make Nilly waste her mana or make a sneak attack.

Amanda's chances weren't looking good. Both Nilly and Amanda were tired, but Nilly, who had been efficient in her movement and mana, was in a better condition.

There was only one thing Amanda could do. And she did just that. She was using all of her mana to make her powerful attack.

Amanda then made thousands of pieces of paper and shaped them as needles. Blasting them to Nilly, Nilly, like Amanda, created a square barrier using most of her mana.

The needles made of paper tried their best to break the barrier—everyone on our team except Serena and me would have lost to this technique.

Nilly's barrier was about to break. Both of them were trying their best to hold out. If Nilly could block everything, she would win, and if she didn't, she would lose.

With everything hitting, the barrier had broken. But the attack wasn't enough to hurt Nilly. Seeing what had happened, Nilly had won. Amanda had fainted from overusing her mana.

"Nilly from Team Grandelle has won!"

The people of Grandelle couldn't help but be proud of Nilly. After all, she was someone who was representing their country. There were four more battles from our division. Any of us eight teams could be fighting.

"That was an amazing first round. I couldn't help but be excited for the next!"

"Next up, we have Team Star State!"

With us being picked for the next round, we would have to see who would be picked. Looking at who was picked, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Caren from Team Star State!"

I didn't hate Caren. I liked her as a friend, but her magic was unreliable. Since she was on my team, I hoped she would have an opponent she could overcome easily.

"And the team that Star State will be against will be Team Igarde."

I couldn't help but frown, hearing that. Half of their members could decimate her. I sighed, frustrated about who we were up against.

"The one who will be facing Caren will be Gold!"

This had turned out bad. Gold was at the peak of the second rank magician. Her speed and power were something to watch out for.

"Caren, Gold is strong. Her magic is lightning, and her weapon of choice is a spear. Don't fight her in close-quarter combat. You will lose if you do."

Being the team leader, I'm. I told Caren how Gold fights. I hope she can do her best to overcome this challenge by giving her the information she needs.

"Is Gold strong?"

Serena, who had listened in, asked, wondering how strong she was.

"Yes, Gold is strong. Even Maddison would have trouble against her."
