I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Ahem, given our current physical condition, it's impossible for us to get back to school before the Elf Sword Dance Festival..."

Hearing their words, Alice looked at them in astonishment and said:

"So you guys... want to disband the team?"

The two members of the Wind King Knights remained silent in response to Alice's question. Seeing their silence, Alice quickly spoke up:

"No! Absolutely not! Didn't we agree to participate in the Elf Sword Dance Festival together?!"

The two gave their own responses to Alice's words, which sounded like a child throwing a tantrum.

"We really have no way to compete, so..."

Another member of the Wind King Knights continued the conversation, saying:

"We also really want to fight alongside the captain at the Elf Sword Dance Festival, but that's just how it is, so... we have no choice but to entrust our dreams to the captain."

Hearing what the two said, Alice was speechless, as she didn't know how to persuade them.

Although the healing potion that Yuhaka took out earlier had a good ability to heal injuries, it only had the effect of healing flesh wounds and accelerating the recovery of injuries on the body; it could not heal injuries to bones.

"You two..."

"Please, Commander! Please keep working on our share too!"

"We also want to see the captain's sword dance at the Elf Sword Dance Festival! Let us see the captain's sword dance that can blow everything away like a whirlwind, okay?"

Alice fell silent after hearing their words. The three stared at each other, their gazes seemingly sparking in the air. However, in the end, Alice conceded defeat, as one person cannot out-glare two.

Alice sighed helplessly, and then the two of them said:

"Ha... alright, you win."

"Captain!"

Upon hearing Alice's answer, the two members of the Wind King Knights smiled. Seeing their smiles, Alice gave a helpless smile. Then, Alice got off the bed and stood in front of Claire. The previously somewhat downcast Alice transformed into a majestic knight girl.

"Claire Lucho, Alice Frangelt, hereby request to join the Scarlett Squad."

Upon hearing Alice's words, Claire slightly curled the corners of her lips, looked at the knight girl before her, and extended her hand, saying:

"Welcome to the Scarlett Squad, Alice."

Alice also grasped Claire's outstretched hand and said with a serious expression:

“Yes, Claire, I will definitely prove my chivalry to my sister.”

.................................................. .........................................

As the team competition began, Claire and her group arrived near the entrance of the competition venue. Meanwhile, outside the venue, there were many students and members of the Wind King Knights watching, clearly showing their interest in the battle between Claire's team and Vilcalia's team.

One is Yhaka, who has recently gained great strength, and the other is Versailles, who was once the strongest in the academy.

There has been ongoing discussion about who is stronger between the two, and currently, most students believe that Yuhaka is stronger.

To allow students to see the battle scenes inside, the academy specially brought in a large screen, like a monitor, provided by the Pokémon Organization, to view the internal matches.

Before entering the competition venue, Claire and the others quickly divided up their tasks: Alice was responsible for melee combat, Linslet was responsible for ranged attacks, Fiana was responsible for support, and Claire herself was in charge of command and also responsible for other support work.

Yuhaka was responsible for dealing with Velseria, since only Yuhaka in their team could break Velseria's one-time-use, tough elven magic armor. As for how Claire and the others knew this, it was of course Yuhaka and Esther who told them.

Then, Visselia and her team arrived at the entrance of the competition venue. Behind Visselia were the four senior members of the Knights Order who had been chosen in the Wind King Knights' meeting room.

When Versailles saw Alice with Claire and the others, she stopped and looked at Alice with cold eyes, saying:

"Alice, I thought you were smart enough, but I was wrong."

Alice, equally defiant, glared back at Versailles and said:

"I will prove my chivalry to you in the competition."

“Foolish. If that’s the case, then I’ll crush your knights in the match.”

At that very moment, the starting signal bell rang.

Chapter 706 [Battle!]

After the match began, Claire and her group were teleported to a clearing in the forest. Because the surrounding trees were dense, the visibility was not good, and it was difficult to see what was happening around them.

After Claire observed that her companions were all around her, she addressed the people present:

"Alright, Alice and I will go find the enemy. Fiana, you prepare the position—"

Just as Claire was giving instructions to the team members, a voice came from the sky.

“There’s no need for that, Claire Loujo.”

Upon hearing Vilcelia's words, everyone looked up and saw Vilcelia, dressed in elven magic attire, floating in the sky looking down at them. Claire was stunned by this sight; to be honest, she hadn't expected Vilcelia to arrive so quickly.

However, Claire also noticed that apart from Velseria herself, she did not see any other members of Velseria's team.

"Wait?! Where are the others?!"

In response to Claire's doubts, Versailles made no attempt to hide her thoughts, saying:

"Those stumbling blocks are no longer necessary; your only opponent is me."

As she spoke, the layers of armor on Viseria's body unfolded, revealing the muzzles of cannons inside. Upon seeing this, Alice immediately shouted:

"Watch out! The shelling is coming!"

As Velseria swung her arm, dozens of cannons flashed with dangerous light, and a thunderous roar erupted. Shells rained down on the spot where Yuhaka and the others were, causing the ground to shake violently.

Following the ceasefire by Versailles, the forest where Yuhaka and the others were located was turned into a crater, as if it had been dug out by something.

Looking down at the dust-covered earth, Velseria, with a bored expression, said:

"Boring, they're just a bunch of small fry after all."

At first, Versailles heard that the child named Youyou was very strong, but now it seems that was just an exaggeration.

Just then, several frozen arrows suddenly emerged from the dust. Only then did Viseria notice the attack, but Viseria's reaction speed was not slow. She quickly shielded her armor with her armor, and the frozen arrows hit Viseria's armor and froze on it.

When Velseria looked at the dissipating dust below, she saw that Yuhaka and the others were completely unharmed, which greatly surprised her.

Then, Velseria noticed that the ground beneath Yuhaka and the others hadn't been bombarded. This made Velseria wonder if Yuhaka had transformed into a shield-like elven armor to block her bombardment, just like last time.

Unfortunately, Velseria didn't see the huge shield that she had seen before in Yuhaka's hand. Instead, he was holding a silver-white one-handed sword, which puzzled Velseria greatly. Could it be that Yuhaka had a dual contract?

However, Velseria didn't pay much attention to this. She turned the cannon back on Yuhaka and the others and fired again. She wanted to see how Yuhaka and the others would defend against her elven magic cannon fire.

Then, Velseria saw Linslet below, holding an ice bow, wearing a smug smile. As Linslet drew her ice bow, an ice arrow appeared on the bowstring. Then, Linslet released the bow, and the ice arrow was launched, exploding in mid-air. A large number of ice crystals seemed to have eyes, crashing into the incoming cannonballs. The cannonballs were detonated after being hit by the ice crystals.

After seeing this, Velseria understood why the previous artillery fire hadn't hit Yuhaka and the others.

"However, it's all for nothing!"

Verseria increased the output of her divine power, and the frequency of the cannon fire also increased. Linslet broke out in a cold sweat; she was finding it hard to withstand such a high frequency of attacks.

"It's all up to you! Youyou!"

Upon hearing Linslet's words, Yuhaka also crouched down. At the same time, a device resembling an airplane thruster appeared behind Yuhaka. Accompanied by a crimson-black light emitted from the thruster's nozzle, Yuhaka shot into the sky with a "thud".

At the same time, Versailles also noticed Yuhaka suddenly flying into the air. To be honest, she didn't expect Yuhaka to be able to fly.

"Youyou will hit you OwO~"

As the thrusters behind Yuhaka erupted with blinding red and black light, he flew toward Velseria. Velseria reacted quickly and aimed her cannons at the charging Yuhaka, who nimbly dodged the shelling and approached Velseria at a very fast speed.

Seeing this, Velseria broke out in a cold sweat. It was clear that Yuhaka's strength far exceeded her expectations, but she would not give up easily!

Faced with the incoming Yhaka, Velseria did not hesitate to use her armor to protect herself and then rammed into Yhaka. After all, Velseria knew very well that her artillery fire was only effective against distant enemies, and it was useless at close range.

Moreover, Velseria didn't think that the one-handed sword in Yuhaka's hand could pierce her thick armor, but the next second Velseria was dumbfounded.

She saw the silver-white one-handed sword in Yuhaka's hand suddenly transform into a giant two-handed sword. However, at this moment, Velseria did not expect Yuhaka to suddenly change his weapon, which caused Velseria to not be able to react in time and was directly hit by Yuhaka's armor. Then, the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword in Yuhaka's hand, in its greatsword form, tore through the armor on Velseria's hard elven magic armor like a hot knife through butter.

Viseria was also quite shocked to see this, but she quickly reacted and stopped her elven magic armor from rushing forward and instead flew downwards. This action allowed Viseria to dodge the attack from Yuhaka that could have split her head in two.

Although she wouldn't die in the elven elemental realm, if she were to take this attack, she would immediately lose her ability to fight.

Chapter 707 [Velcelia: You have no martial ethics!]

As Velseria's elven armor lost power, she fell from the sky. The slash that Yuhaka had just hit also caused a considerable impact on her elven armor, knocking her to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Claire and the others immediately prepared for their next attack. In their previous plan, Claire intended for Ehaka to shoot Velseria down from the sky. After all, Claire and the others had only recently learned that Ehaka could fly, and to be honest, they were quite surprised when they learned this news.

After all, while there are many elf users in this world who can fly, there are very few, at least in the Aresia Elf Academy. There are practically none who can fly freely in the air like Yuhaka.

Although Velseria's Silent Fortress can fly in the air, it can only float; it cannot fly at high speeds like a fighter jet like Yuhaka.

If Yuhaka is a fighter jet, then Velseria is a floating turret.

Having someone in the team who can fly is a major advantage, as they can be used for reconnaissance and are also key to gaining air superiority.

After all, the teams participating in the Elf Sword Dance Festival must include teams of elf envoys from the Duchy of Doragonia. The elf envoys of that country are basically elf envoys who have contracted with dragon elves, and most of the dragon elves are the kind with wings.

Imagine five spirit users with the ability to fly riding dragon spirits attacking a team of spirit users below who have no ranged attack capabilities. How powerful would that be?

The scene shifts back to Yuhaka and her group.

The instant Velseria was shot down, Claire, Alice, and Linslet, who had already chanted their attack spells, launched an attack on Velseria. Although the Silent Fortress had high physical defense, it was clearly vulnerable to elemental attacks.

The elven magic, accompanied by flames, gales, and frost, crashed onto the Silent Fortress (and the words "spread" and "fusion" appeared (hmm)). The erupting elements also stirred up a huge wave of dust. However, before Claire and the others could prepare to cast another elven magic spell, a huge mechanical arm-like structure emerged from the dust and swung towards Claire and the others. The ice crystals that had been condensed on the mechanical arm flew towards Claire and the others like shrapnel.

Seeing this, Alice reacted quickly, whipping up a gust of wind to disperse the ice crystals, thus saving Claire and the others from being pricked by her elven magic.

Before Claire and the others could express their gratitude, they saw a figure emerge from the dust. The silent fortress, which had resembled a cannon emplacement, had transformed into a fortress with two enormous mechanical arms. Claire was dumbfounded by this sight.

Before Claire and the others could react, the fortress-like elven armor suddenly began to slide across the ground, as if it had been smeared with butter, and rushed towards Claire and the others. Seeing this, Claire and the others were caught off guard, after all, they did not expect that Velcelia's Silent Fortress could actually move on the ground, and so nimbly at that.

At that moment, Yuhaka flew through the air like a missile towards the Silent Fortress. The shockwave from the collision knocked Claire and the others to the ground, but they were all fine, just with a sore bottom.

Yuhaka, who collided with the Silent Fortress, bounced off the ground, rolled a few times, and then jumped up as if nothing had happened. The Silent Fortress was also knocked to the ground and spun a few times by the impact of Yuhaka. Viseria, inside the Elf Armor, also felt a little dizzy, after all, the impact of Yuhaka colliding with her was quite significant.

"Ugh... Damn it..."

The recovered Velseria stared at Ehaka in the distance with a displeased expression. Ehaka, after recovering, charged forward wielding his greatsword. Seeing Ehaka charging, Velseria adjusted the cannon on her elven armor, aimed it at Ehaka, and fired. However, at that moment, dozens of arrows shot from the side and intercepted the cannonballs.

"what?!"

Seeing this, Velseria realized that this was a team competition, not an individual competition like the previous Elf Sword Dance Festival. Velseria looked at Linslet, who was holding a bow and arrow in the distance, with a grim expression and said:

"Annoying flies!"

Linslet seemed unfazed by Vilcelia's harsh words. She slightly curled the corners of her lips and looked at Vilcelia in the distance, saying:

"Velcelia, you are too arrogant. You actually abandoned your teammates and charged over alone. It was really too foolish."
