Chapter 7 Part3 (1/2)
Chapter 7. We came, we saw, we won.
Let's scroll back in time by four minutes.
”Now, let us watch the best compet.i.tion of our lifetime!”
The screen split into many once Mara said this. This would allow the audience to observe the battle from the four different school's perspectives all at once. And then, the sky above the labyrinth lit up with a bang, signalling the start of the compet.i.tion.
”Right, it has finally begun. As expected, the students of Arucia are running…. The students of Mercaria are sending out tiny little spells insto the air. It seems to be almost invisible to the eye… perhaps it's a coded message of sorts? The students of Marcia all sat down, and have begun talking amongst themselves. And the students of Yugrasia… They're summoning right from the start! Right, five of the students summoned water and earth elementals!”
”Summoning this early is bad in the long run.”
”Agreed. It's not a very good strategy.”
Both Martin and Mata expressed their disapproval. But the students who summoned their elementals weren't done yet!
”What… what are they doing?”
”They're… making water?”
”Making water like that is very inefficient.”
The five students all began to condense water into a single spot.
”Making water using an elemental may be simple, but compressing it that much… their speed is very fast, too.”
”The battle hasn't even started yet…”
The students began to step backwards. And once they stepped back far enough.
”Ah! It's a wall! They made walls with elementals!”
”That seems to be a… dam?”
”C, could it be?!”
Just a minute had pa.s.sed so far. In this time, five dams had been completed. And by using the earth elementals, the students quickly expanded their area filled with water.
Naruan's strategy was simple.
”It may be a labyrinth, but in the end it only has one entrance. Everything else is just a wall. So then. If we fill up the labyrinth to the brin with water, the water would naturally flow to the exit. And if we make the water move almost explosively, we should be able to take care of our enemies as well.”
And these dams were, when the students finally ran out of stamina, and when an unfortunate student encountered Ruan from Arucia, was destroyed, which let out all the water in an instant.
”Huoeee?!”
Ruan tried to resist the water that was coming towards him, but got swept away. This was the same for the other students.
”Holy c.r.a.p, what the?!”
A giant tsunami occurred in front of the eyes of the students of Mercaria.
”I, ice! I, it's not working!”
”Kek?!”
One of the students from Marcis tried to use an ice magic from reflex, but she couldn't stop the water. In fact, the ice broke off to little chunks that just ended up injuring teammates.
”Kueee?!”
Not even the monsters in the labyrinth were able to resist the tsunami.
And lastly.
