"Hey, did you watch the elimination match this time?"

"I saw it, those are called... Magical Girls, right? What kind of power is that? It's so perverted!"

"This is too much, that kind of ability... Well, I kind of understand why the Chief Council allowed them to join. To be honest, I kind of want to join the Magical Girls' Party..."

"Hahaha, you're just dreaming. Her name clearly says she's a magical girl. If you want to learn, you might have to change your gender first."

"Hmm? Wait, according to what you said, doesn't that mean this faction will be the one with the most female apprentices in the White Tower in the future? Does that mean my girlfriend is in good hands?"

"Your idea is quite unique...but I like it!"

Just as the chiefs thought, after showing their strength in the first round of eliminations, most mages became more accepting of the magical girls. After all, many people had doubts about this faction before because they had not seen it with their own eyes or experienced the power of the magical girls. In the elimination rounds, the magical girls showed their strength, and the mages were not fools. They could naturally see the characteristics and strength of these magical girls. After confirming that the other party was not much weaker than their own faction, they quickly accepted the emergence of this new faction.

Of course, one of the most important reasons is... this is probably the first all-female faction in the history of the White Tower!

Although there are female mages in the White Tower, the male-to-female ratio is only about 100:1, and female mages are quite rare. The reason is very simple, because mages must first be promoted from apprentices, and apprentices always do the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous work. It can be said that if you are not careful, an unlucky apprentice may die in a magic ritual.

In this situation, powerful families would rather pay for a mentor to teach their daughters magic, and when they have enough strength, they can directly take the test to become a formal mage, without having to start as an apprentice. Because of this, most of the female mages in the White Tower are daughters of nobles or merchants. Of course, there are ordinary people, but it is too difficult for such ordinary people to advance in the White Tower. In addition, it is very common for mages to exploit apprentices, and ordinary girls cannot bear this hardship.

Therefore, there are more men than women in the White Tower. If a faction composed entirely of female mages joins, then for the mages from other factions, it would be like the arrival of a goddess!

The discussion here was in full swing, while on the other side, Xiao Hei and the others were also very excited.

"These mages are too easy to deal with, big brother."

After three or four consecutive elimination matches, Xiao Hei was completely crushed. Now she was extremely confident. Relying on the projected "Rule Breaker" in her hand, she was able to kill almost any mage who stood in her way. No mage could withstand her attack.

"It's so easy to win. It looks like we're going to win this game!"

"Xiao, Xiao Hei, you are too..."

Hearing Xiao Hei's proud words, Illya hurriedly grabbed her and wanted to say a few more words, but Xiao Hei just waved his hand.

"What does it matter? It's just the way it is. Look at these mages. They are so weak that they can't even take a single blow from me. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Haha, I advise you to be careful."

Looking at Xiao Hei in front of him, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"These mages are smarter than you think. Do you really think that the mages trained by the White Tower are all fools? Those mages who are truly capable of fighting you are now observing you and thinking about how to defeat you."

Fang Zheng said this from his own experience. It was the same when he first came to the arena to play the ladder. Relying on his time stop and spellcasting, plus the Paladin's sword skills, Fang Zheng was invincible at the beginning. But after reaching the 100th place, Fang Zheng could no longer play.

Those mages were not idiots. They had watched Fang Zheng play so many games, so they naturally had some understanding of his strength. So after that, Fang Zheng was often attacked by various snipers. Because of this, Fang Zheng decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to move forward and ran to the Chanming World to train his mind.

This was another reason why Fang Zheng brought the girls with him. Fang Zheng also found that these girls had been following him and had been doing well for a long time, so they were a little arrogant. Maybe Fate was a little better, but looking at Xiao Hei, she looked like she was about to fly to the sky.

It's time to let them learn a lesson and let them know that their strength is not omnipotent.

but……

"Owner."

At this moment, Homura Akemi beside her suddenly spoke with some embarrassment.

"I...may not be able to last a few more games."

"I understand. If you can't win, just surrender. After all, this is just a competition. I didn't ask you to win."

Looking at Homura Akemi's apologetic face, Fang Zheng reached out and touched her head. The rules of this competition were the most unfriendly to Homura Akemi. Her ability was completely auxiliary. If she didn't kill anyone, then Homura Akemi would basically be no threat. After all, Homura Akemi's time stop was different from Fang Zheng's. Although Homura Akemi's time stop could freeze the world, once she came into contact with someone, that person would be immediately released from the time stop state.

In this situation, even if Homura Akemi wanted to perform a trick like "stop time and carry the opponent off the field", it would be impossible. However, the nature of the game determined that Homura Akemi could not use machine guns, grenades, or RPGs... After all, these can kill people directly if they are not handled properly.

Apart from this, Homura Akemi only has the power of the Dragonborn as Fang Zheng's follower to use.

But her boxing skills...

Maybe I should ask Lin Yueru to teach her what sword energy refers to sometime...

So Fang Zheng could see that Homura Akemi was probably the first one to quit. If it was Tomoe Mami or Sakura Kyoko, they might have been able to hold on for a few more rounds, but Homura Akemi's ability, coupled with the rules of the game, was too unfavorable to her...

If you don't care about casualties, I'm afraid that Homura Akemi will just kill everyone at this moment, stop the time and fill the ring with TNT, and then the whole place will explode and everything will be fine.

Unfortunately, this is impossible...

The facts also prove this point.

In the next few days, the girls also encountered troubles one after another. Just as Fang Zheng had expected, Homura Akemi was the first to be defeated and left the field - she encountered a fourth-level transformation wizard. The opponent was not only a transformation wizard, but also a barbarian from the ice and snow wilderness. He was as strong as a bear, and coupled with the transformation spells that enhanced himself, Homura Akemi faced him like a mouse pulling a turtle, and she had no idea where to start. In the end, the two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and Homura Akemi decisively chose to leave the field.

After all, the rules of the competition don't allow her to kill anyone, so Homura Akemi's idea of ​​stopping time and then taking out a missile to smash it was naturally shattered.

Fang Zheng didn't say much about this. He just comforted Homura Akemi a few words, and then turned his attention to the other magical girls again.

"Master, do you think we have a chance of winning the championship?"

Standing behind Fang Zheng, watching the scene in front of her, Nymph asked curiously. After hearing Nymph's question, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and frowned.

"It's hard to say. Homura's withdrawal was due to the rules, but these rules are useless to the other little ones. Especially Kuro... well, if no one can find a way to deal with the 'Rule Breaker' in her hand, I'm afraid she might really win the championship."

Although according to the routine, the one who jumps the most is most likely to be slapped in the face, but from what Fang Zheng has seen along the way, it is hard to say whether there is anyone who can successfully slap Xiao Hei in the face. After all, "Rule Breaker" is too cheating. No matter what magic it is, it can be cut in one go. With Xiao Hei's speed and strength at the level of a heroic spirit, ordinary mages have no chance of being her opponent.

In fact, each of Xiao Hei's battles ends the fastest. Basically, Xiao Hei rushes forward at the beginning, then projects the "Rule Breaker" to cut the opponent with a knife, and then either kicks the opponent down or knocks him out directly. The whole process sometimes takes less than a minute.

Faced with such an enemy, ordinary mages really have no way to deal with her.

Although Fang Zheng felt that the remaining four guys had a chance of making it to the end, the second one who dropped out still surprised him.

Because the second person to leave was... Fate!

Fate was not underestimating the enemy, nor was she careless. She was defeated by the opponent's targeted attack. Fate's opponent was a fifth-level protection mage. At the beginning of the game, the opponent gave himself an elemental immunity shield, so Fate's lightning attacks were all immune.

Seeing that the long-range attack was ineffective, Fate naturally rushed forward with Barudishus for close combat.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was well prepared. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Fate attacked, he opened a portal for her and teleported Fate out of the arena.

So... Fate lost just like that.

"I'm so sorry, teacher..."

Fate, standing in front of Fang Zheng, lowered her head with a sad look on her face, while Fang Zheng shook his head and did not scold her.

"This is normal, Fate. There are successes and failures. Besides, this failure will also allow you to learn more lessons, right? At least in the future, when you encounter an enemy, you can consider whether the enemy has other means to deal with you."

After Fang Zheng's consolation, Fate's expression finally improved a lot.

Fate's elimination also gave the other girls a heads-up. It was obvious that although Fang Zheng did not require them to win, the girls were all determined to fight for a good place in this competition. So in the following battle, the remaining four performed very well.

In addition to Kuro's simple and crude "Rule Breaker", Illya's Dream Summoning and Sakura's Clow Cards also made the participating mages suffer. If Fate's attack can be traced, then the randomness of Dream Summoning and the combined use of more than fifty Clow Cards are enough to make ordinary mages cry and scream.

As for Nanoha, although she is the same as Fate, Nanoha's fighting process is simpler and more brutal than Fate's.

That is... just confront directly!

Fate's power is the elemental power of thunder, so it is easy to be immune. But Nanoha's bombardment is pure magic condensation. Although the main world also has similar energy shields, they also have a limit.

So Nanoha's battle is basically to start with a bombardment, and then the opponent has no way to avoid it and can only use the shield. Then Nanoha will increase the power of the bombardment until the opponent's defense is completely blasted through...

Because of this, Nanoha gained another nickname "Little Tyrant" among the White Tower Wizards.

Well, what else can Fang Zheng say about this? All I can say is... this is the inevitability of history.

Although the little girls tried very hard in the following battle, they still encountered problems.

That's...luck.

In the round of 16, due to bad luck, Kuro and Sakura faced each other, while Illya faced Nanoha, and they directly fought two civil wars.

The final result was that Kuro defeated Sakura, and Nanoha defeated Illya, and both advanced to the quarterfinals.

Of course, Fang Zheng also understood that this was not just luck, but also the manipulation of other chiefs. But he didn't care about it, or it was better this way. After all, if the magical girl faction was too strong when it came out, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the other eight factions. Fang Zheng came here to find believers and alliances, not to make enemies for himself. If he really did that, he might as well not accept the invitation of the chief council in the first place.

In the quarterfinals, Xiao Hei, who had been advancing triumphantly all the way, finally met a formidable enemy.
