The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Several minutes had passed before they reached the red restaurant, but this was also part of the "rush plan".

　After the three were surprised to find that the Sky Magic Academy contestants were not reacting, Winiscatti took the initiative and suddenly rushed into the Red Restaurant to start the duel.

　The arena had been set up, but there was no one to duel with. Winnie stood in the restaurant, speechless. After a while...

　Shrek and Witt then entered one after the other.

　After discovering that the red restaurant was empty, the smiles and excitement on their faces slowly faded.

　This can hardly be considered a "stratagem to capture an empty city".

　After all, the Sky Magic Academy didn't retaliate; they just ran away.

　The TP of St. Mary's Confinement Hospital. But this is not some mysterious or unpredictable plan.

　Twenty minutes is enough time for the students from the Sky Magic Academy to come up with a similar plan.

　Then, by comparing the two, one can guess what St. Marian Academy is thinking. Of course, the Sky Magic Academy's contestants aren't going to sit there and wait for St. Marian Academy's contestants to come and prey on them.

　So after making some decorations in the red restaurant, they quietly slipped away from the other side!

　At this moment, the Sky Magic Academy had split into two groups. One team was following Quintina, while the rest of the contestants rushed towards the War Totem Academy's stronghold!

　They started looking for easy targets.

　However, the reason for choosing the War Totem Academy was not because they thought it was the easiest target.

　It's not because the students from the Elf Magic Academy don't have a fixed base. And because of Quintina, their stealth methods have been strengthened, making them harder to find.

　In addition, the War Totem Academy has a relatively low total score.

　The total score is low because the average score of the contestants is relatively low.

　If the average score is low, in a high multiplier environment, it can be eliminated in just one duel!

　The Sky Magic Academy's tactics are not as "casual" as those of St. Marian Academy. Once they make a move, it is with the force of thunder, aiming directly at the complete destruction of their opponent.

　If this wave of attacks succeeds, it will benefit most of the War Totem Academy's players.

　Everything will be reset to zero at once, so there's no such thing as "returning to the old ways" or "resurrecting the young."

　And this is not an isolated case.

　The students from the Ocean Magic Academy made the same decision.

　And the choice they made was based on the same reasons.

　So, what about the War Totem Academy?

　War Totem Academy did not have this "one-shot kill" idea, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

　After all, this "one-wave attack" tactic is only possible when the academy's score is far higher than the opponent's.

　The only academy with a lower total score than War Totem Academy is Elf Magic Academy, and by a small margin.

　Moreover, the War Totem Academy and the Elf Magic Academy are roughly equal in strength, and it is difficult to guarantee who will win if all of them are mobilized.

　Therefore, this time they adopted St. Mary's Academy's "charge tactics"!

　The difference between the so-called "charge tactics" and "one-wave tactics" is actually only in the number of people involved. The former selects the strongest to fight, while the latter mobilizes everyone. That's all.

　The War Totem Academy's proposed target for this duel is the Elf Magic Academy!

　Because they want to beat a dog when it's down!

　The Elf Magic Academy has already lost two students due to Quintina's actions. Even their strongest student, Chloe Artemis, has suffered setbacks.

　Not many points.

　This was undoubtedly a golden opportunity to send them to hell! The War Totem Academy certainly wouldn't let this chance slip by. And so, here it was:

　The Sky Magic Academy and the Ocean Magic Academy are tracking the War Totem Academy from two different directions, while the War Totem Academy is tracking the scene of the Elf Magic Academy.

　War Totem Academy had its eye on Elf Magic Academy as early as when Quintina transformed into "Thor," and took the opportunity to pinpoint their location, which is why they were able to find them so easily.

　On the other hand, the Elf Magic Academy planned to "plan carefully before acting," meaning to take a cautious approach first and then seize an opportunity to make a move.

　They all moved stealthily, constantly shifting positions, but their "obsession" remained. They were essentially circling around Quintina's location. But there was no way around it; what's lost always wants to be regained. If they didn't regain it, their thoughts wouldn't be at peace. In the end...

　The Holy Church's Mystic Ritual Academy has also been mobilized.

　The Holy Mystic Academy's overall score was in an awkward position, neither high nor low. However, they did not believe that their academy's strength was inferior to that of the Sky Magic Academy and the Ocean Magic Academy. After all, in addition to the ten Knights of the Round Table, they also had the "Holy Son" and the "Holy Maiden."

　Especially the "Saint" Audrey Joan of Arc.

　After seeing Quintina's "Thor" pose, they couldn't help but ask Audrey if she could do it too.

　As a result, Audrey ignored him.

　Later, after much deliberation, the contestants from the Holy Mystic Academy also decided to target the Elf Magic Academy.

　After all, who doesn't know how to "beat a dog when it's down"?

　However, they failed to pinpoint the location of the Elven Magic Academy immediately. Therefore, during their search, they unexpectedly discovered traces of the War Totem Academy.

　Then, naturally, they discovered Quintinanos, which was actually nearby.

　Thus, a plan to snatch food from the jaws of the Sky Magic Academy was born.

　They believed that the Sky Magic Academy's contestants wouldn't be overly wary of a third party under these circumstances. Once the "duel time" began, Saint Zaga Lilanslot would have a chance to snatch Sky Magic Academy's prey simply by making his own move.

　Once the "duel time" ends, it doesn't matter if we give back even one point. Points are limited anyway, first come, first served.

　The Holy Mystic Academy's plan was actually quite unstable. However, they had a wide field of vision, discovering not only the War Totem Academy's team but also the Ocean Magic Academy's team following behind.

　This made them immediately realize that what was about to happen was very likely an unprecedented mega-war.

　They clearly didn't want to get involved in such a huge quagmire, so they chose the lowest-risk option: "snatching food from the tiger's mouth."

　Of course, it's not that they don't intend to get involved.

　While chaotic battles are dangerous, they also present opportunities for immense gains. If you fear the danger and avoid participation, waiting for the chaos to end, and all the benefits are snatched away by one party, then all is lost.

　Therefore, their overall plan was for Saint Zachary Lancelot, as the captain, to go alone to "snatch food from the tiger's mouth".

　The rest of the group, led by Evan Pearson, waited for their chance to act.

　therefore.

　Throughout the entire "Duel City," all the contestants from all the academies have already taken action.

　The start of that "duel time" was the clarion call for the operation. As St. Marian Academy stepped into the empty city, the first to move out was Saint Zachary Lancelot!

　This Knight of the Round Table, known as the "Judgment Knight," didn't even bother to look at the odds in the pillar of light before challenging Quintina to a duel, all in the name of saving time!

　Therefore, his dueling speed surpassed that of the Sky Magic Academy contestants, successfully completing the first step of "snatching food from the tiger's mouth"!

　Quintina was quite surprised by his appearance.

　But in reality, it makes no difference to Quintina whether her opponent is a student from Sky Magic Academy or this student from Holy Mystic Academy.

　She is quite aware of her current condition and knows that this is the limit of how far she has come in the competition.

　He has now become easy prey for the other players. If he wants to do everything in his power, he can only rely on his current high score of 22 points to prolong the game as long as possible and hope for more unexpected developments.

　After the previous upheavals, she seems to have regained some of her former self, no longer as irritable and impulsive as before, and is now more patient in her planning.

　Quintina is arguably the contestant who has engaged in the most duels since the start of today's competition.

　Based on her experience from these many duels, she vaguely sensed that the outcome of this match might be far beyond what was predicted beforehand.

　If that situation does occur, then continuing to delay will be worthwhile.

　She glanced at Saint Zachary Lanslot, the "Judgment Knight" who emerged from the shadows, and then continued to adjust her state.

　Before entering "Preparation Phase 2", on the 8th of the month.

　She used to dismiss it, but now she wants to make the most of it.

　Saint Zachary Lancelot had no idea how Quintina had become like this, but since things had come to this, he had plenty of patience.

　Instead, the backstage director froze after projecting the duel. But fortunately, after a short while...

　on the other hand.

　The top students from the Sky Magic Academy

　Everyone was surprised when Saint Zachary Lancelot suddenly jumped out. They were immediately enraged, cursing the thief in their hearts.

　If it weren't broadcast live, it would have had a negative impact, and they might have hurled even harsher insults.

　But after standing there stunned for a minute, they suddenly received most of the messages, so they could only glare at Lancelot and leave quickly.

　"Just a paladin thief!"

　The last remaining comment was definitely not what Saint Zachary Lancelot said, but he remained unfazed.

　If you don't have thick skin, what kind of paladin are you?

　The entire chaotic battle broke out suddenly.

　When the Sky Magic Academy squad returned to the main force, the area was already engulfed in a chaotic battle.

　Unexpectedly, the War Totem Academy's contestants were the first to make a move. As soon as the "Duel Time" began, they immediately sent several of their strongest contestants straight to the Elf Magic Academy's hiding place.

　The two sides were actually not far apart.

　Therefore, when the Elf Magic Academy's stealth was broken, the contestants from the Sky Magic Academy and the Ocean Magic Academy, who were rushing towards the War Totem Academy from two directions, quickly discovered the presence of the Elf Magic Academy.

　This was indeed unexpected for them.

　They hadn't expected the Elf Magic Academy team to be hiding so close by.

　But since the plan has already begun, there's no reason to back down. It's just that there's one more elven magic academy; combining the two, we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

　It wasn't just the Ocean Magic Academy that had this idea; some contestants from the Sky Magic Academy also had the same thought.

　However, the War Totem Academy had proactively sent its strongest warriors to attack the Elf Magic Academy, further weakening the remaining members of their team. This clearly benefited the Ocean Magic Academy and the Sky Magic Academy. Consequently, the members of the Ocean Magic Academy and the Sky Magic Academy acted even faster, almost like tigers descending a mountain, frantically pouncing on the flock of sheep.

　Then, the two teams of "Tigers" met face to face.

　Although a flock of sheep separated them, both sides were so conspicuous that they noticed each other immediately. However, to prevent the sheep from escaping, they both summoned their dueling domains at the first opportunity.

　With so many dueling arenas, the War Totem Academy certainly doesn't have enough participants to go around.

　The duel area that couldn't find its target before was simply taken back afterward.

　However, when the opposing team also quickly deployed their duel domains, those that missed their target connected with each other. Even the players who summoned their domains couldn't tell who summoned theirs first or who initiated the duel.

　then.

　Ocean Magic Academy contestants vs. War Totem Academy contestants. Sky Magic Academy contestants vs. War Totem Academy contestants. Ocean Magic Academy contestants vs. Sky Magic Academy contestants. The War Totem Academy contestants were wiped out by a sudden swarm of wolves. The Sky Magic Academy contestants, due to their relatively smaller numbers, were also all drawn into a duel.

　Only the Ocean Magic Academy had a few contestants left. But they were just as busy.

　Because the Sky Magic Academy's team immediately called over their assigned squad—they weren't far away either!

　At this point, the players are probably too lazy to even calculate the gains and losses. Anyway, since things have come to this, let's just start fighting!

　Faced with this situation, the director couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

　But he was quick-witted and immediately displayed the matchups between the various players on the wall of the red and blue building.

　Suddenly, the walls of the two buildings were covered with the names of most of the contestants.

　Meanwhile, the St. Mary's Academy contestants, who were inside the Red and Blue Restaurant, finally learned what the contestants from the other academies were doing.

　—They're having a hardcore party, but they didn't invite them! "Let's go check it out."

　Dark was silent for only a moment before immediately saying, "Go." Senior Pandora was sparing with her words.

　Senior Eluri Clarissa said, "Let's go see them one last time."

　"It really is the last time, for many contestants," said Gina Grant.

　Dark said, "With ten times the points, the side with fewer points should be eliminated if they lose."

　"If we rush over there now, is there still a chance to grab some points?" Diana asked curiously.

　Dark pointed to the building wall and said, "There are always opportunities. Look, there aren't many contestants from the Elf Magic Academy, and there's only one contestant from the Holy Mystic Academy. They haven't fully entered the competition yet."

　"Then let's hurry!" Diana said excitedly.

　If it's a matter of each faction holding their strongholds and fighting methodically, there's little room for her to make a difference.

　But if it's a big free-for-all like this, she could easily find lower-grade players or lower-grade players who aren't so strong and have a really good duel.

　“Let’s go now.” Dark nodded.
