Although there were many people participating in this competition, the Sky Arena, as a place built in the demiplane, was naturally prepared for this. Soon, the participants were divided into groups and teleported to different competition venues. In front of the chiefs, including Fang Zheng, there were also magic projection images. Not only could they see these images, but they could also be projected to any city in the Magic Kingdom.
In fact, the city squares in the Magic Kingdom are now crowded with people, giving people the feeling that they are watching the World Cup qualifying match.
Perhaps ordinary audiences are concerned about their own children or family members, but for the eight chiefs, their focus is very simple.
"Is this the magical girl that kid was talking about?"
The head of the illusion department stroked his carefully groomed mustache and stared at the magic projection in front of him with curiosity. In the picture, in one of the competition fields, Illya, wearing a pink magic girl combat uniform, was holding her cane, looking around anxiously, trembling like a little mouse surrounded by a group of cats.
"It doesn't look that good."
"You wouldn't say that if you had seen what she's capable of."
The chief of the Transfiguration Department touched his smooth head, and then looked at the projection in front of him.
"Although these little girls seem to be timid on weekdays, they are all good and outstanding fighters when facing a real battle."
"But it's not warriors that the White Tower needs."
The chief of the enchantment department put down his gold-rimmed glasses and shook his head.
"I want to see what abilities these magical girls have."
At this point, the Chief of the Enchanting Department seemed to have thought of something, turned around, and looked respectfully at the Chief of the Undead Department who was sitting next to him.
"Mr. Colette, you have been in the Tiandao Palace for a while. What do you think of these magical girls?"
"I don't care and I don't know."
Colette shook her head. What she said was true. Although she had stayed in Tiandao Palace for a long time, Colette had almost never left the laboratory. So, she had only heard about those magical girls, but had never seen them with her own eyes.
"Okay, stop talking so much nonsense. A grown man is acting like a woman."
The chief of the prophecy department folded his arms, his fourteen abdominal muscles clearly visible on his wizard robe.
"You'll know once you see it. I have enough confidence in that kid. There will definitely be no problem! Just wait and see."
"I hope so."
The chief of the spell department coughed lightly, and a cunning light flashed in his somewhat cloudy eyes.
"We also hope that there will be no problem. After all... that gentleman has more than just a few of us to convince."
Just as the chief of the spell department said, the magic girls had to convince not only them but also other mages in the White Tower to participate in the competition. After all, the establishment of a new faction in the White Tower could not be concealed, and in fact, the mages participating in the competition already knew about it.
In their hearts, most of them also have questions like "What on earth is this magical girl? How can she be listed alongside the eight major factions?" This is also normal. After all, the eight major magic factions of the White Tower have been around for hundreds or thousands of years and have stood firm. However, this "magical girl" thing suddenly appeared and was suddenly listed alongside the eight major factions...
For the mages of these factions, they will definitely feel somewhat dissatisfied.
This is another reason why the Chief Council hopes Fang Zheng and others will participate in the competition. As long as these mages can experience and witness the power of magical girls with their own eyes, they should not have any resistance.
It is also much easier to accept.
It is also because of this that magical girls receive the most attention in every competition.
"Hmm... I always feel nervous..."
Holding the staff tightly in her hand, Illya could not help but curl up her body. She could clearly feel the gazes from all directions, some of which were curious, some disdainful, some mocking, some doubtful, and some indignant and dissatisfied. For Illya, she was not very good at facing these.
"Humph, a bunch of losers."
However, unlike Illya, Xiao Hei was calm and composed in the face of the gazes of other mages. She even had the leisure to twirl the scimitar in her hand.
They are just a bunch of mages. Let them see how powerful you are!
Aside from Illya and Kuro, everyone else had different reactions. Sakura seemed a little nervous, while Nanoha looked serious. On the other side, Fate and Homura Akemi were both silent.
"bite--!"
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of a clear bell, the competition officially began.
Almost instantly, dozens of mages immediately aimed their attacks at the magical girls in the field. All of a sudden, fireballs, magic missiles, stinking clouds and other things were fired at the magical girls.
Although due to the requirements of the competition, there would be no lethal spells like Death Cloud and Finger of Death, and the mages participating in the competition would at most have reached the fifth ring level - after all, when you reach the sixth ring you can already serve as a teacher in the White Tower, and it would be embarrassing to come down and participate in a competition between students.
For a moment, the scene was in chaos.
However, the teachers and the chief present did not show any panic, but watched the competition with interest - this kind of chaotic scene is a taboo for mages. Even if you are well prepared and cast a protective spell on yourself, you can't guarantee that someone will secretly use a magic to dispel it.
Therefore, how to protect oneself and defeat the enemy in such a chaotic situation is also the key point that the mage needs to learn.
In this situation, many mages have come up with ways to deal with it. Some mages directly summoned their summons to act as meat shields, some chose to teleport out of the melee area, some directly cast a Luck spell on themselves and then rely on luck, and some simply fought back.
Of course, most mages are still very stable and first improve their defense, and then respond to external changes by remaining unchanged.
Faced with this wave of melee, the magical girls' reactions were different.
“Wow!!”
Perhaps because she was too cowardly before the game started, Illya immediately attracted a lot of firepower. This also scared her, and she quickly reached out and pulled out a card from under her skirt.
“Rider, Dream Summon…!”
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”
However, before Illya could finish her words, her petite body was immediately completely covered by explosives such as magic missiles, fireballs and acid.
Is he going to fall down just like that?
Looking at the smoky competition scene in front of them, several mages smiled.
It seems that magical girls are not that great.
However, before the smiles on their faces disappeared, suddenly, a strange voice rang out.
“Mou——!”
With a low howl, a series of lightning suddenly burst out from the smoke, directly dispersing the smoke. Then the mages were surprised to see that little girl actually drove a cart pulled by two oxen out of the smoke. Not only that, the clothes on Illya at this moment were also different from the previous pink magic girl clothes. She was wearing a bright red cape, holding a dagger in one hand and the reins of the ox cart in the other.
Although she looked a little disheveled, it was obvious that the little girl was not seriously injured in the previous attack.
However……
"Ugh...I'm getting angry!"
Illya, who was beaten up, puffed up her face. Then she raised the dagger in her hand. The next moment, the mages saw a ray of light burst out from Illya's body, and then quickly enveloped them.
Faced with this sudden bright light, many mages instinctively closed their eyes. However, when they opened their eyes again, the scene before them surprised them!
What appeared before them was no longer the competition field, but a vast desert!
Not only that, in this desert, in front of them, was an army of thousands and tens of thousands of people!
"What's this?"
Seeing this, the Chief of the Spell Department suddenly widened his eyes, and the Chief of the Enchanting Department next to him wiped his gold-rimmed glasses playfully.
"This seems to be some kind of enclosed space. How interesting... It seems that the girl used some kind of enclosed space to pull these mages in. Are those her... summons? This method of summoning is quite rare."
"Indeed."
At this moment, the chief of the spell department also nodded, then he widened his eyes and stared carefully at the scene in front of him.
"It seems like there will be something interesting to watch this time."
"attack!!!"
While the chiefs were watching the show, Illya suddenly swung her dagger forward, and then countless soldiers roared and rushed towards the mages in front.
"this……"
Looking at this scene, the mages were stunned.
Previously, they thought it was not good for the majority to bully the minority, but now...
Where are there more talented people?
Why are you still fighting ghosts now? Just hope you can get out of here alive first! !
"Protection!"
"Fireball, Fireball!"
"Use the wall of fire...!!"
"Quick, find a way to break this space!"
"Is there no way to counter it with summons?"
For these mages, this was the first time they encountered such a situation. Although Illya only summoned ordinary servants, the boundless number alone was enough to scare these mages!
They tried their best to resist, but unfortunately, in front of the boundless army of the King, the resistance of dozens of mages only lasted for less than a moment before they were completely submerged and disappeared without a trace.
