Five-petaled flowers, blazing sun fruits... magical plants are relatively rare, while weapons and fragments of magic scrolls are more valuable.

Ancient magic scrolls can be used to study magic from that era. Ron plans to exchange some unimportant items for points.

Ron's group looked at the things Milton took out from his spatial ring, and each of them was filled with longing.

Because they spent some time receiving instruction in the central area, they were initially a little behind in points, but now it's no problem at all. With a little more effort, their title as the top academy on the continent this year is secure.

The objects clattered to the ground. The people from the Baron Empire were clearly unconvinced; they still had the strength to fight, but their captain had already made his decision…

Ron ignored their expressions, and after a while, the area, which was riddled with holes and withered branches due to magic, was filled with high-magic items.

"It's gone."

"Of course not, and the rest weren't won in this competition."

Ron said, "I'll trust you this once, and I hope you're not lying to me..."

The other party comes from a ducal family in the empire, and still possesses some basic noble chivalry; they shouldn't be lying.

Ron wouldn't take Milton's spatial ring, or anything else they already owned, like magic wands.

They came to compete, not to make enemies.

Even so, as he left, Ron still said, "Collect your points well, or we might have another match."

These were clearly infuriating words.

The members of the Gil Kingdom were overjoyed to have defeated the Baron Empire's team, and thankfully, none of them joined Ron in making a fuss.

Ron thought for a moment, then finally said, "Don't you want to know why our whole team suddenly became stronger? Head towards the center, if you can..."

After finishing his explanation, Ron activated his wind-based lightness technique, and the rest of the team members followed him as he sped away from the field.

The place where heroes are buried, the guardians there should see quite a few people this year.

Because Ron planned to send a small squad to the center after losing one of their battles.

Whether they can pass the test is their business; it's their problem that they don't have a space mage.

This also explains why Ron's strength has increased so much. He can now better conceal his true abilities, which in turn increases his chances of winning the title of the First Academy.

Only a few passed the test, and everyone went to the central area to try their luck, so there were fewer people who were focused on finding treasure.

Having made up their minds, Ron's team became quite arrogant in the following days.

Anticipating a large crowd, they took out items they thought would earn high points and paraded them around.

They studied the magical items right in front of the observers.

Come and take me! Come and take me!

The opponent provoked Ron first and then retaliated. The opponent was in the wrong first, so there will be less trouble in the future. You can earn points just by strolling around.

Good things are coming.

Ron's confidence in his squad has soared as they face the members of the Baron Empire. Each member has made great progress after listening to the lectures of the demigod legends, and Ron is going all out.

They were the ones who tried to steal it back.

At noon on the second day, Ron's gaze inadvertently drifted in a certain direction.

He smiled and said, "He's here."

Two teams from the Carlo Magic Empire, teams outside the top ten, can team up.

Bobby, the scout on the mission, was startled: Had he been discovered?

Otherwise, Ron looked elsewhere, noticing that his entire team seemed distracted, suggesting they were overthinking things.

Bobby's tense heart relaxed, and he quietly moved his body to a position further behind the big tree.

Not easy prey, the Gil Kingdom squad.

Should we rob it...?

First, notify the team leader.

Several miles away, Bobby, the assassin who had been acting as a scout, returned and immediately relayed the information to his captain.

"team leader……"

Terence, dressed in magician's clothes, pondered for a moment, then decided to get to work.

They're not even master-level. We had two teams, twice the number of people, and the magician had prepared a large-scale compound spell in the shadows, yet we still couldn't handle the small kingdom's champion team.

Terrence couldn't resist the thought of the points and fame that would come from defeating the individual champion team.

If I win, I might be able to become a disciple of a legendary mage of this empire when I return.

Terence hurried back and relayed the message to the captain of the other squad who was temporarily his teammate.

The female magician Raman shared the same opinion and took it.

Two against one, the two teams conspire to outmaneuver the other team.

As night fell, Ron indeed noticed the unusual elemental activity ahead.

As soon as they realized it, magic came rushing towards them.

"Everyone, the points are here, let's start!"

...

...

After a brief exchange, Ron moved with impunity.

After the battle, Ron had an injured water magic user who healed his team members.

We're still missing a priest. A priest's divine healing is faster and more effective, but hydrotherapy nourishes the body and is more beneficial for improving physical strength.

Water, like a gentle rain, can subtly and silently improve the constitution of those being healed.

Terence felt as if his heart was bleeding when he saw the magical items he had painstakingly found or seized disappear.

How could this be? How could this be?

The Kingdom of Gil's team is now stronger than they were in the individual competition!

What's the reason?

Seeing the man's conflicted expression, Ron casually said, "In the heart of this place lie the remnants of our predecessors. Know that this is a land of heroes..."

They left quickly once again.

Bobby asked again, "Captain..."

"Get away from me, it's all your fault!"

"Their quality is a bit lacking," the captain of the other team suddenly realized. "It seems the geniuses and prodigies from the mainland shouldn't even dream of competing with us."

"Terrence, from now on, we're splitting up. Our team will be participating in the trials of the ancient battlefield!"

"Are you crazy? Don't you know that in that place, no one in the previous session, or even the session before that, could successfully pass the trial! It's not even certain if the trial even exists!"

“Ron Lance has no reason to lie. Let’s part ways.”

"..."

Terence's gaze deepened; should he follow them?

It's hard for a small team to achieve a good ranking... Terence felt that robbing the Gil Kingdom's team was a mistake, it's a difficult situation!

It turns out that there were already legends about this ancient battlefield, but many participants never even touched the so-called trial.

At least Ron pointed in a direction, greatly increasing the chances of encountering it.

Terrence thought that there would be more teams over there, and perhaps there would be a chance to turn the tide.

"Let's go."

I don't expect to be number one in the mainland academy, but I should at least strive for a good ranking for the academy. The opportunity to become a disciple of the legendary mage is now gone.

Ugh... I want to hit someone.

However, Terence and his small team ended up being the ones getting attacked.

But a smaller target for a small team might offer more opportunities...

A few days later, Ron encountered the other teams. There's not much to say, let's fight, points, points, first place!

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Ron has successfully improved the space teleportation magic that he had been preparing for a long time.

Currently, the accuracy of transmission has increased, and two-way spatial transmission has also been developed.

Next target: the Void Stone.

Spatial element perception, squad teleportation.

After the spatial ripples, the team members followed Ron into a small space within an ancient battlefield.
