Chapter 176 Hide And Hit (Part I)
"That was an amazing first event! Who would have known that many tournament teams have already fought!?"
The event maze runner was an event that should be prioritized in escape. Many teams that fought have regretted doing so.
The teams that had been eliminated had gotten no points, while the survivors had gotten less due to the time that they had lost.
"Star State! Who had shown excellent performance had gotten first! Their first division is something amazing!"
"Despite being first, anyone in the tournament could easily catch up! Next up, we have the event Hide And Hit."
Hide And Hit, our second event. While I had gotten some clue from the name, I wouldn't know how the event would work.
"Hide And Hit, is an event where a town will be randomly generated. During the event, one team sent one person to hide."
The first part was pretty simple.
"Clones of that team member would appear scattered around the map! Your objective would be to hide from other competitors while trying to eliminate them!"
"Once hit, you would be gone from the game! Each division will have one round, so make the best use of your turn! That is all you need to know for this event!"
The scores were the same from the maze runner, but eliminating someone would give two points each.
"Noelle, you will be going. Use your illusion immediately. Losing early isn't an option."
I told Noelle what to do. I could have picked Serena, but if I had done that and kept sending Serena in, it wouldn't look good for our country.
Teresa also worked well with shadows, but the map was extremely bright. Her magic was ineffective on this map.
And besides, Noelle should be perfect for this event. As long as she made an illusion that could catch anyone without notice, there was no way for her to lose.
Seeing that a small town had generated meant that the event was going to start. The maze here had now disappeared and was replaced by a town.
Noelle, who was chosen to go, had entered the map along with the nine other competitors. Looking at the nine other teams, I could see two captains enter this match.
Rebecca from Avaris and Camile from Etheal both had joined the fray. Rebecca, who could use her time magic, could avoid most hits. In contrast, Camile could control the emotions of others.
This match would be interesting. Mt. Igarde, who I found a threat, had picked someone by Amethyst. I couldn't believe that most of their names were made of rocks.
Starting the match, every team had already entered the arena. I saw that we could spectate everyone individually. I looked at Noelle, Camile, and Rebecca.
"Charlie, what place do you think Noelle will get?"
Serena, who was beside me, asked. Everyone on our team had listened to what I thought—even Cynthia, our instructor.
"Noelle could at most get second."
"Second? Why not first?"
Being interrupted by Maddison, she couldn't help but frown that I didn't think Noelle could get first.
"Team Etheal, Camile, can control emotions. Her magic is similar to Noelle, but Camile is stronger and has much more control over her magic. Not to mention Camile is a third-rank mage."
While watching Camile and Rebecca in the maze, I could confidently say they were now third-ranked magicians.
Cynthia, our instructor, nodded at what I said was true. Maddison, who heard what I said, looked at Camile.
With the round starting, everyone was now focused. Everyone had teleported the furthest from one another.
Many copies of the ten participants were formed around the town. They were all images of one another. One thing about them was they were unable to move, which means that they were still.
You could blend in as one of the images or hunt. If you get hit, it would be counted as your loss. I wondered if my plasma armor was hit would it count as me being hit in an event like this?
Noelle, who found herself in the middle of the town, had found many copies of images of others. She first studied the bodies and hit them, testing them out.
Seeing that none of them moved and all of them were like an illusion. Noelle began to change the area where she was. It was too risky being in the middle of the map, where anyone could attack.
Camile, who was there confident, was walking around without any care. There was a competitor near her, and she was going to use this chance to sneak up on her.
The competitor from Team Evergreen suddenly started crying. Camile, who heard that, whipped the elf from Team Evergreen.
My eyes couldn't help but twitch from the display of that. Camile's magic could affect people by a long radius.
With the whip slapping the face of the elf. The elf left the arena, making her in last place. Not only was she hot, but she was kinky.
Camile had already gained two points from elimination. With the first person down, only nine were left.
Other than Camile, Amethyst from Team Igarde had encountered someone from Uthua. The person in Uthua had fired bones at Amethyst.
Amethyst magic had deflected the bone back toward Tracey, who was in Team Uthua. Their battle sparked the notice of people nearby.
Two people had noticed this battle, and one of them was Noelle. The other one was from Team Estia.
Team Estia had made it first to the battle. She was trying to make a sneak attack. But before she could attack Noelle, who was behind, she slashed her in the back and earned us two points.
Amethyst, who had Tracey panicked, got hit by a punch to the face. Now that two people were eliminated, only Amethyst and Noelle would fight.
Three people had been out, and seven remained. Since Amethyst and Noelle were looking at one another, everyone who saw this knew they would fight.
This match had just started, and it was already intense.
