When Xiao Hei took out a pitch-black longbow, everyone, including Katarina, was a little confused.

After all, Xiao Hei had always been playing melee combat, and she had never been heard of having long-range abilities. In fact, many people were quite interested in Xiao Hei's magic that allowed her to conjure up a large number of weapons anytime and anywhere.

But it's just out of interest. After all, most mages don't need to project their own weapons to fight like Xiao Hei.

But now…

not good!!

Other mages might still be curious about what Xiao Hei was going to do, but the moment Xiao Hei aimed at her, Katrina immediately realized that something was wrong. This was her instinct as a barbarian, and she made a big mistake!

"Pseudo-Spiral Sword!"

However, before Katrina could make any move, Xiao Hei had already loosened his fingers, and then the spiral arrow was seen spinning and shooting towards Katrina in the air. Facing this oncoming attack, Katrina also hurriedly raised her hands, and soon, a series of magical lights appeared on her body, including several protective spells including protective arrows, which immediately enveloped Katrina.

However, just as the spiral sword flew in front of Katrina, a scene beyond Katrina's expectations appeared.

The spiral sword did not hit Katrina, but exploded directly, turning into a huge fire cloud that covered most of the sky in the arena. Katrina was naturally caught off guard and was immediately swallowed by the fire cloud.

“Oh my God!”

"What is this? Is this magic too?"

"You must be kidding. This power is comparable to an eighth-ring spell!"

Looking at the fire cloud in the sky, many mages stood up and stared at the sky in amazement. Are you kidding? The power of this attack alone is almost enough to be compared with the advanced destruction spell of the Transmutation Department!

And before this, the little girl had never shown this side of her!

“Cough, cough, cough…”

At this moment, Katrina also flew out of the fire cloud covered in dust. Although the magic barrier protected her and blocked most of the impact, Katrina's face was solemn and her brows were furrowed.

Miscalculated!

Before, Katarina chose to fight at high altitude because she thought Xiao Hei had no means of long-range attack. Although the power of that strange dagger to break magic was indeed terrifying, as long as they kept their distance, they wouldn't have to be afraid of her.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all. The little girl's strength in long-range attacks is even more difficult to deal with than her close combat!

What should I do now? Continue to choose ranged attacks? Or go back to ground-based melee combat?

Katrina felt that she had encountered a difficult problem. She continued to attack from a distance. The opponent's attack was more powerful than hers. But as for close combat, Katrina had tried it just now. Although she could keep up with Xiao Hei's rhythm, she was still at a disadvantage. Not to mention that when fighting with her, Xiao Hei did not take out the dagger...

Katarina still remembered that the opponent was using a two-handed scimitar. If he just changed his hand to take the magic-destroying dagger, she would be in trouble!

"careful!!"

Just when Katrina was in a dilemma, suddenly, she heard a warning from her classmates below. At the same time, several arrows suddenly shot out from the fire cloud in front of Katrina and surrounded her from all sides!

Oops!!!

"Bang!!"

Katrina only had time to raise her hands before the whistling arrow hit her directly. The next moment, with a flash of light, Katrina, covered in wounds, reappeared on the arena. She half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath and raising her right hand.

"I give up."

A mage will never fight a battle without preparation. It is not shameful for a mage to evacuate immediately if he finds that something is wrong. This is the biggest difference between a mage and a warrior. Even if a warrior finds that something is wrong, he can only rush forward. But once a mage finds that something is seriously wrong, he will run away decisively. No mage will fight to the death with all his blood.

At this moment, Katarina discovered that Xiao Hei's strength was far beyond her imagination, and it seemed that she was better at long-range combat than close combat, so naturally she surrendered decisively.

Otherwise, do you have to wait for others to pin you to the ground and beat you before you call for a stop?

“Hehehe…”

Seeing that Katrina had chosen to surrender, Xiao Hei also smiled and raised his hand to make a V sign, then turned around and jumped away from the arena. Looking at Xiao Hei's back as he left, Katrina smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Perhaps it would have been better if I hadn't distanced myself from her at that time... After all, if I had used my barbarian strength, plus the bonuses of rage and transformation, I would at least have had a chance of winning.

But after widening the distance, the initiative is no longer in my hands. One wrong step will lead to all the wrong steps...

Thinking of this, Katrina sighed, then turned and left the arena.

At this time, the other mages finally recovered and started discussing the matter.

"Did you see that?"

"I saw it. I never thought that this little girl could play so well from a distance... Sigh, I'm lucky I didn't choose to fly up to her when I faced her. Otherwise, I might have been in a much worse situation than Miss Katrina."

"What should we do? We can't beat them at close range, and they're so fierce at range. How can we survive?"

Many mages were speechless, and those who might face Xiao Hei next were frowning. They couldn't beat him in close combat, and they couldn't beat him at range. This kind of opponent was the most troublesome for mages.

The second match was a contest between the Shaman and the Conjurer departments, and in the end the Conjurer department won with superior skills.

And the next third game is Nanoha’s battle.

"Please give me your guidance."

Standing not far in front of the opponent, holding the Heart of the Rising Sun, Nanoha nodded respectfully to the opponent. Her opponent also smiled and nodded.

"Hello, little tyrant, um... you magical girls are really interesting, but unfortunately..."

As he spoke, the other party raised his hand.

"That's all you need to do."

"???"

Hearing this, Nanoha raised her head in confusion and looked at the other party.

The person in front of him was a middle-aged wizard who was probably in his thirties or forties. Although he was also wearing the wizard robe of the White Tower, this set of wizard robe seemed to have been modified. Unlike the ordinary simple and plain wizard robe, this set of wizard robe looked full of a graceful and luxurious temperament, giving people the feeling that it was more like the attire of an aristocrat rather than a wizard.

Although she didn't quite understand what the other party meant, Nanoha still clenched the Heart of the Rising Sun and stared at the other party vigilantly.

"bite--!"

Just then, the game began.

"Heart of the Rising Sun, shoot!"

Nanoha raised the Heart of the Rising Sun in her hand without hesitation and pointed it forward. Then several pink magic bullets shot out from the Heart of the Rising Sun and flew towards the noble mage.

However, to Nanoha's surprise, facing her attack, the noble wizard neither chose to release defenses nor to fight back, but just stood there quietly, looking at her with a playful smile.

The next moment, Nanoha was surprised to find that her magic bullet had actually passed directly through the body of the noble wizard!

phantom!

Looking at this scene, Nanoha was somewhat bewildered. However, at this moment, the Heart of the Rising Sun in her hand suddenly spoke.

"MASTER, energy release detected at the three o'clock position!"

not good!

Nanoha also turned around and stretched out her hand. Soon, a protective magic circle appeared in her hand. Then a sound wave suddenly appeared and hit Nanoha's protective barrier heavily. But not long after, a series of energy waves erupted from the other side of Nanoha's body again. The invisible sound waves spread out again, covering the girl.

“Hmm…”

Faced with this sharp and heavy voice, Nanoha instinctively covered her ears, but even so, she was still made weak by the dizzy sound. The hard ground under her feet now felt like she was standing on a sofa. She stumbled and couldn't even keep her balance.

"Nanoha has met her match."

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows. In fact, he had already seen that Nanoha's opponent was a magician of the illusion type.

Illusions were considered weak to Fang Zheng, after all, prophecy was good against illusions, but it was different for Nanoha. Fang Zheng was sure that the opponent must have used advanced invisibility and phantom magic. Unfortunately for Nanoha... he had no experience or ability to deal with illusions.

If it was Illya, Sakura, or Kuro, it might be okay, after all, although advanced invisibility can conceal the body, it does not make a person disappear. Therefore, Kuro can use his mind's eye skill to see through, Illya can summon a servant that can counter invisibility, and Sakura can use the Clow Cards to achieve a similar effect.

But Nanoha is very passive. She lacks experience in facing invisible enemies and does not have the corresponding means.

Of course, in this respect, Fate is actually the same.

"Bang!"

Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, Nanoha finally couldn't hold on anymore and was hit by the sound waves emitted by the opponent. She screamed and flew up, then rolled several times on the ground.

"Nanoha, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Fate couldn't help but get nervous, and Sakura clenched her fists nervously.

"It depends."

Fang Zheng could see that the opponent had made careful preparations. If Nanoha couldn't find him, then her bombardment would be useless. In fact, Nanoha tried to launch a counterattack against the place where the attack came from several times, but she didn't hit a single hair.

After all, there is a technique called "delayed casting".

Finally, Nanoha could no longer hold on and had to immediately increase her altitude and fly high into the sky.

What to do? What to do?

Holding the Heart of the Rising Sun tightly, Nanoha looked at the competition field anxiously. She couldn't just fly in the sky like this, because the competition rules prohibited passive play. If Nanoha stayed in the sky without attacking, she would be judged as the loser. But she certainly couldn't just hold the Heart of the Rising Sun and hit the competition field randomly.

It has to be admitted that this wizard did find Nanoha's weakness. Under the current circumstances, Nanoha would either play passively in the sky or come down to be beaten.

“What should I do…what should I do…”

Holding the staff in her hand, Nanoha muttered to herself, then she lowered her head and looked at the playing field beneath her feet. Then, Nanoha's eyes suddenly lit up!

“That’s right!”

Thinking of this, Nanoha immediately raised her staff and aimed at the arena.

"Heart of the Rising Sun!!"

Following Nanoha's call, a huge pink magic circle soon emerged from the top of the Heart of the Rising Sun and began to rotate and expand.

"What's this?"

"She figured out a solution?"

The audience was dumbfounded watching this scene. They also saw the problem that Nanoha was facing, so they were all thinking about how this little girl would solve this problem.

Seeing Nanoha taking action at this moment, many people were also confused.

Could it be possible that she could find out where the other person was in this way?

Just when these mages were extremely confused, Fang Zheng, who was sitting in the audience, curled his lips.

"Oh my god..."

How could he not know what Nanoha was doing?

In fact, Fate is already trembling with fear at this moment!

"Star linght..."

Under the gaze of the entire audience, Nanoha raised the Heart of the Rising Sun high in her hand, shouted loudly, and then smashed it down with force.

“…Breaker…!”

The next moment, in full view of everyone, a pink torrent of magic roared out, completely covering the entire arena from top to bottom.
