The Manasvir Empire’s capital, Macnadicx City’s Imperial City Sky Arena. By the time the competition in the Sky Arena reached its climax, the advancements of the other arenas were already clear, with the first arena being led by Dragon Knight Grand Duke Bellina, who was Bella. She along with Priest Isaman were the first to advance into the top twenty.

The second group to advance is Mage Princess Ariel and “Scarlet Knight” Pamela. After defeating her younger brother, one of the male Saviors, God Chosen Mage Adelaide, they continuously defeated team after team of strong opponents to become the second pair to advance. Following that is Bella’s little sister, Dragon Knight Lisha and “God Chosen Holy Maiden” Sophia. After sending one of the male Saviors, God Chosen Knight Scott, flying, Lisha then defeated Dragon Knight Copperfield and Fire Mage Wendy’s team which had already received abuse from Bella. Then, they won the next battles successively to advance into the top twenty.

Prince Copperfield was already unlucky enough to lose twice to his little sisters in this inter-academy qualifying competition. The first one to Bella, and the second one to Lisha. And, he, who was supposed to have been a hot pick, failed to get into the top twenty even till the end. Assassin Noreya and “Holy Maiden of the Commandments” Daisy advanced more smoothly than them. Besides the first round where they lost to one of the male Saviors, God Chosen Knight Akmans, they didn’t meet any more tricky opponents along the way. It was only Dragon Knight Shawn from the fifth team that gave them a bit of trouble. However, he was still defeated by Assassin Noreya. Noreya was even able to defeat the male Savior God Chosen Knight Akmans, much less Dragon Knight Sean who was only an ordinary dragon knight!

Marionette Master Elaine and Assassin Lola’s team had the trickiest opponents to deal with. Except for the redeemer from the first team, God Chosen Priest Norris, the four teams at the back weren’t so simple. They faced the Ironblood Cross Society’s president, the Doors of Truth’s president, and even the president of the Golden Legend, Carlos, and the president of the Mask of Darkness, Samson. They were all big names in the academy. Unfortunately, these big names were unlucky in this qualifying competition to be matched with Marionette Master Elaine, and were all defeated by her. They had all inexplicably gotten tangled up in her silk puppet threads and pulled out of the arena.

The rest of the advancing teams were determined. Chief President of the Student Union, “Queen Enchantress” Angelia and Chief of the Disciplinary Committee, “Frost Knight” Dragon Knight Natasha’s team. Heiress of the Radiant Church, President Maria and Holy Swordsman Cynthia’s team. “Golden Eighth Chapter” Emiga and Demon World Princess Diaz who was acting as her familiar also had the good luck to enter the top twenty. For the weakest final chapter of the Eight Chapters to advance into the top twenty, who knows how the other eliminated seven chapters would feel now. They could only say that Demon World Princess Diaz was good at carrying people and brought her into the top twenty through sheer force.

The elite contestants of the Brotherhood all lost to Chief President Angelia and Chief of the Disciplinary Committee Natasha’s team, as well as President Maria and Holy Swordsman Cynthia’s team. It was a shame that Bella didn’t get matched against these “philosophers”.

Besides the two students who were still fighting in the Sky Arena to be the last team to advance to the top twenty, the other 18 students have already been decided. With the exception of the Rose Society, the remaining groups were made up of the president of the Wronged Angels Society, the “Fake Loli” Charlotte and her vice-president, “Fake Shota” Demir. Even though these two have reversed genders, their strength was still there. Charlotte is a fake loli, a boy crossdressing in girls’ clothes, while Demir is a fake shota, a girl crossdressing in boys’ clothes.

The majority of the boys in Olsylvia Academy felt a little awkward. Except for “Fake Loli” Charlotte, who was the only boy within the top twenty, the rest were definitely all girls. No matter who won in the Sky Arena, the last two contestants to advance were going to be girls, no doubt about it. The entire Sky Arena was filled with girls. There wasn’t a single boy.

The boys were a big failure this time round in Olsylvia Academy’s inter-academy qualifying competition. The only boy in the top twenty was even a trap. This made the boys even more ashamed. It would be nice if the boy who advanced was normal, but it just had to be a crossdresser. Isn’t this implying to the other academies that the only way a boy can get stronger is by crossdressing in Olsylvia Academy?

The gambling houses that kept their bets open were basically all bankrupt. All of the top picks for this competition such as Dragon Knight Shawn and Dragon Knight Copperfield have basically stopped outside of the top twenty. Girls have not been the focus of bets over the years, but this year’s advancement was all girls, which made things a bit awkward. RIght now, no guests or experts could predict how the rankings will go. They don’t know much about the girls, so they really couldn’t make any solid guesses this way.

In the central part of the Sky Arena, Bella was using her flying artifact to move towards the mages. The last two holy knights, “Dusk Knight” Daphne and “Guardian Knight” Mathilde joined together and were only able to keep themselves from being pinned by Princess Kriss and beaten to the ground thanks to the joining of their light and dark attributes. As the strongest swordsman, Kriss is able to suppress two heavily-armed Holy Knights relying on just her aggressive two-handed sword attacks. The suppressed Daphne and Mathilde had no way of breaking loose and protecting the rear from the flanking Bella and could only keep on their toes.

Princess Effie knew that her dark magic wouldn’t work on Bella. So, she launched a Dark Twine on Bella in an attempt to grab her ankles and limit her movement. “First Chapter of the Sky” Princess Eveny didn’t even try to test her anymore and directly sent out her strongest attack, the “Glory of the Sky”. She was worried that if she did this any later, Bella would have all sorts of ways to prevent her from even casting it then.

Dozens of light rays without attributes attacked towards Bella’s position, and those light rays were the “Glory of the Sky”. The magic barrier outside of Bella’s body shattered just like a pane of glass which had been hit by stone. At the very last moment, Princess Eveny still did not find the determination in herself and her “Glory of the Sky” clearly landed off mark. The dozens of light rays brushed past Bella’s figure, but none of them ever hit her. Nobody would believe you even if you said it wasn’t an accident!

Bella is currently a mage. Thanks to her contract with New Moon Demonic Dragon Dorothea, Bella is able to use a lot of magic. Even though she had no way of using super-magic at the forbidden levels, she could still use some full-attribute advanced magic. Bella preferred these mixed attribute spells over forbidden ones. They are often able to achieve unexpected effects.

After dodging “First Chapter of the Sky” Princess Eveny’s attack, Bella quickly swooped down, intending to fight close-combat with the other mages. Mages of this age who couldn’t handle themselves in a close-combat fight were at a disadvantage, especially against mages like Bella, who didn’t play by the rules. The chain of dark energy shot out by “Taboo Third Chapter” Effie was dodged by Bella as well.

Just as Bella was about to land, she was stopped by a layer of light defensive barrier similar to translucent glass. Seeing that things weren’t turning out quite right, Holy Maiden Susan and Holy Maiden Hayley instantly teamed up to launch the Radiant Church’s classic defensive barrier, the Guardian of Light, stopping Bella outside of it.

“You won’t be able to get in, Bella... Give up!”

“Saint Hayley, do you wish to be disciplined again? This level of light can’t stop the darkness, let alone me.”

Bella reached a hand out to the barrier and, after ascertaining the magic concentration of the barrier, Bella’s right hand was suddenly covered in a majestic dragon claw-shaped glove. This is a full set that encompasses the power of four dragons, containing shocking amounts of magical power. The outer layer was a mixture of diamond and emerald while the construction of the inner layer is amethyst and gold. The powers of Crystal Dragon Princess Purple Crystal, Golden Dragon Princess Laceman, Emerald Demonic Dragon Princess Bess, and Gem Dragon Queen Lolifel were packed into this glove, containing astonishing destructive power.

“Shatter! Your light will be distinguished by me!”

Bella smashed her right fist on top of the barrier, and the mixed four-colored light pierced through the barrier like a laser cannon. The protective barrier shattered just like glass, instantly breaking into pieces. Seeing that things weren’t looking good, President Lucia quickly cast another light attribute protective barrier, but it was also pierced by the mixed light. The light stirred up a very thick gust of smoke from the ground, causing the girls to choke for a moment, unable to open their eyes.

By the time they managed to open their eyes, Bella had already landed in the middle of them, and they were surrounded by a strange fog. The fog was very moist, with very dense water content. It drenched the girls’ wizard robes, which had not been that thick to begin with, causing them to stick to their bodies. Up close, Bella could roughly tell what style of underwear they were wearing.

The feet of the girls were glued down by a sticky slime. They couldn’t even move their feet in the slightest. These are the modified Swamp Slimes which longed to take their prey into their bodies, encompassing them in their slime, dissolve the excess fabric from their bodies, and begin absorbing the bodies of their prey.

“Ladies! It’ll be better if you surrender! What I have is a mysterious potion that can make certain things turn transparent, and only make certain things wet. You understand what I mean, don’t you?”

“Damn it, Bella...You’re actually attacking us with a demonic beast! That’s...”

“Don’t move! There’s nothing wrong with a mage summoning a demonic beast to attack an opponent, right?”

When they saw the bad smile on Bella’s face and smelled the strange smell that was being emitted from the bottle in her hands, Princess Eveny and the others looked at each other and nodded their heads helplessly, admitting defeat. They were in public, so if they really were exposed by that potion, then they wouldn’t be able to go out again. Thanks to the mist, the audience couldn’t see what was happening inside. They only saw the amazing scene of Bella breaking through the light barriers of the two Holy Maidens.

When the mist cleared, except for Grand Duke Baize, who was still standing in the same spot, the other five girls all collapsed to the ground, looking as if they had been attacked by some spiritual magic like hypnosis magic and passed out from dizziness afterwards. However, looking at Bella’s previous alternative mage fighting style, many viewers suspect that Bella had knocked them out physically. Who knows if the “old habits” of Bella the close-combat mage struck again.

After defeating three Holy Knights, Bella downed five mage units in a short amount of time, getting an eight-kill combo all by herself. Based on certain games, this would entitle Bella to be “Godlike”. After defeating the remaining two Holy Maidens, she will be able to achieve wiping out ten of them by herself. Kriss seemed to have realized what Bella was thinking and never landed the “finishing blow” to the two remaining beautiful holy knights. She had been suppressing them the whole time and waiting for Bella to come over.

Kriss’s body flashed a far distance backwards. Before “Dusk Knight” Daphne could even realize what was going on, she felt someone jumping onto her mount Dream Demonic White Colt, and embracing her from behind. That familiar scent, who else could it be but Bella! Not only was “Dusk Knight” Daphne restricted by Bella’s sudden attack, even “Guardian Knight” Mathilde on the side was also at a loss for words.

Bella was now hugging Daphne. “Guardian Knight” Mathilde was the captain of the Radiant Church’s Law Enforcement Team. Even though Daphne is a dark knight, the two sides are on a temporary truce. Mathilde would never commit friendly fire, and she couldn’t do anything towards Bella for a moment and could only watch as Bella hugged “Dusk Knight” Daphne, unbridled, and had no way of dealing with this for now.

“Damn it, you’re too strong, Bella! Please, can’t you be more professional as a mage? Are mages as violent as you are?”

“You seem to have grown a lot, Daphne! Mages can handle close-combat battles, so shouldn’t knights have to dismount and fight them like infantry as well?”

“Fine. You can go and rest for a while!”

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, who were already numb with shock, it seemed as if Bella had pulled “Dusk Knight” Daphne off her warhorse with ease. In order to not let the audience see her going easy on Bella, Daphne and Bella pretended to forcibly pull each other and caused the other to fall off the horse. After a few professional rolls, Daphne laid very naturally on the floor of the Sky Arena like one of those “fake dives” in soccer. With her level of professionalism, it really was a pity for her to not participate in a soccer game.

After reaching “nine kills”, Bella looked confidently at her last opponent, Holy Knight Mathilde. Mathilde looked at Bella with a tense face. She already knew that she would certainly be defeated. Bella could easily defeat the other nine, so it wasn’t difficult to deal with one more. Right now, Mathilde was just thinking about how she could lose decently. She was still the captain of the Radiant Church’s Law Enforcement Team after all. If she were done in by a single hit, then it would be a blow to the Radiant Church’s reputation.

Mathilde’s mount, the Golden Holy Beast Lion, could already feel the tension and unease in the heart of its owner that was riding on its back. Its momentum was not as strong and overbearing as it was in the beginning. In the eyes of the Golden Holy Beast Lion, it seemed like Bella’s figure was a mountain so high that it couldn’t look or pass over it when it stood in front of her. The intense suppression made it so even a holy beast like the Golden Lion found itself breathing unsteadily.

“Senior Sister Mathilde, no...Captain Mathilde, don’t be nervous, okay? I’m not a good person, so it’s useless even if you’re nervous.”

“Bella, you...Don’t you ever get tired?”

“Nope. How can I feel tired when I’m spending quality time with my beautiful senior and junior sisters? I’m very happy right now! I’m in bliss!”

Bella revealed a dazzling smile. Even though it was a charming smile, “Guardian Knight” Captain Mathilde couldn’t help but sense a strange feeling of evilness in Bella’s smile. Despite the huge disparity of strength on both sides, Mathilde still wanted to make one last attack. It was better to be knocked down than to admit defeat.

“Bella, pay attention! I’m going to charge!”

“You really are stubborn, Senior Mathilde. But I like that.”

Mathilde and her mount, the Golden Holy Beast Lion, transformed into a golden shadow and launched a “Knight’s Charge” at Bella. Mathilde’s charge was similar to that of the other holy knights. The only difference is that her power had an element of the holy attribute in it. Bella opened her magic shield and instantly fired an Elemental Blast at Captain Mathilde, who was charging towards her.

The Elemental Blast is a type of mixed magic that was a mixture of every attribute. After it collided with the charging Holy Knight Mathilde, a huge explosion stirred up the smoke once more. Whilst the smoke still hid her actions from the audience, Bella merged the power of four demonic dragons into a single demonic claw again, “pushing off” Holy Knight Mathilde along with her mount.

From afar, they just saw Mathilde sent flying in an instant. After the dust settled Bella stood there unharmed while Holy Knight Mathilde and her Golden Holy Beast Lion had fallen not far away in the arena. The competition ends here. As a single mage, Bella achieved an “ace” and “ten kills” from the other side, becoming the final team to advance to the top twenty with Kriss.

Since then, all members who advanced into the top twenty from Olsylvia Academy were undoubtedly girls, except for the “Fake Loli” Charlotte. Bella alone held two slots. The finals would begin after a day’s rest, and the final venue, the Sky Arena, would be redecorated for the final round.

On the current popularity list was Dragon Mage Grand Duke Baize, who leapt over Grand Duke Bellina thanks to her legendary 1v10 performance in the Sky Arena battle, becoming the popularity queen of the competition. Even though both of those identities were played by Bella, only Bella was able to defeat herself.

However, something troublesome is coming her way. Bella was worried that her two identities would encounter each other on the final stage. Then she really won’t be able to keep up the performance. Bella still didn’t feel like revealing that the two were the same person yet so now she had to think of a solution that will work perfectly both ways. It seems like the only solution is to find the “Fake Loli” Charlotte who helped her out at the start.
