Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

"It's only been two days and half of the people have been eliminated."

"The elimination rate will be faster in the early stages, and it will be exciting when the number of qualified players is close."

"Hey, stop talking, it seems someone is coming."

Low whispers were heard not far ahead, and the two people who came closer heard most of the conversation. Iris glanced at the feedback from the little snowman. The black shadow was rushing in this direction like a hungry tiger that smelled meat. When it got closer, it seemed to notice Iris and hesitated on the spot.

"Hey, wait, the monitor is on - that shadow is approaching!"

The group of people in the alley ahead stood up one after another. They were resting next to a safe house. It was not surprising that they had monitoring devices in their hands. Those who could hide safely until now had some skills in defending against shadows.

Several puppets hopped out holding monitors, trying to determine in time the speed of the shadow's approach so that they could maximize the time in the safe house.

Iris asked Ernest to stay and turned around and ran in another direction. Seeing this, the black shadow rushed over decisively.

If she stayed, she would be discovered that the black shadow that was originally coming over did not come, which would arouse suspicion.

If she and the black shadow want to maintain a temporary harmonious competitive situation, they must be aware of avoiding suspicion of each other - besides, there are so many people still alive, why should they fight over trivial matters so early!

In fact, if the witch knew what she was thinking, she would probably feel aggrieved - she was obviously just afraid that she would steal Iris's prey and Iris would be angry.

She interpreted Iris's behavior as giving the prey to her - the witch lady was so happy at this moment!

Someone cursed:

"Xiao Qin is still injured! Yula and Masha haven't recovered yet... Who else can run with that ghost?"

"This is not a solution..."

"Wait, who did I see... President! Mr. President!! I'm Kaxiu, do you remember me? I'm the one with the worst performance in the publicity department every semester! President, help me!! That ghost is coming!!!"

After Iris ran away, the puppet jumped in front of Ernest, and when it saw him, it screamed through the monitor.

When it comes to running away, who can beat this guy! Once the space rift opens, it is equivalent to a long-distance flash!

Ernest simply used space magic to teleport in front of the group of people. Kaxiu cried with joy and quickly pointed at the people behind him and said:

"This side is from St. Ferguson, and this side is from Enil. We are all family members."

This is only the first game, and the competitive pressure is not as great as in the later stages. At this time, those who come out of a country can indeed be considered our own people.

As time goes on, the scope of "our own people" will continue to shrink. However, in the early stage, people from the same place will basically help each other. The more people from the same country can stay in the arena, the more resources they can bring back to the country. From a long-term perspective, it is beneficial to oneself.

The situation was urgent, Ernest asked directly:

"How did you arrange it before?"

"When there are people outside the house, the shadow will chase the people outside and will not guard the people in the safe house for half an hour - so we will take turns to arrange the fast runners to lead the shadow away. Before the fast runner reaches the next safe house, the rest of the people will take advantage of the time difference to rush to other safe houses. It would be best if the shadow goes in another direction in the end. If it goes to guard the safe house of the person who ran away, we will send the next person out to meet it and lead the shadow away. If the shadow turns back, we will adjust the route in time..."

Kaxiu took the initiative to explain.

"Do you have tools to communicate with each other?"

"Yes, at the beginning there was someone from Enil College who could make walkie-talkies, and later we found that some C-rank missions could reward walkie-talkies - but many of them were randomly awarded, and we completed many C-rank missions along the way before we got a few pairs."

If you want to survive the Shadow in this way, you definitely cannot do it without a means of communication. The person who escapes cannot promptly inform the large force behind the Shadow of His whereabouts, and the force behind the Shadow cannot promptly send anyone to pick up the person who escapes.

"…How many of you can still run now?"

Kaxiu counted quickly and reported:

"There are still seven that can only run short distances. That is, they have enough explosive power but it can't last long. They can only run back and forth between a few fixed safe houses that are close to each other. There is no one who can run long distances. They were injured when fishing for the shadow before."

To be honest, they were able to unite in such a short time to actively fight against the black shadow, and ensure that everyone in the team believed that if they led the black shadow away, they would not be abandoned by the team; if they stayed in the main force, they would not be harmed by those who escaped - the leader and everyone in the team were amazing.

Ernest was already planning to help them. He took a walkie-talkie, and the others rushed into the safe house the moment they saw the black shadow. The black shadow had recognized that the person who did not hide in the house was standing next to Iris just now - but she did not slow down at all and rushed straight towards Ernest.

The people in the safe house looked out through the windows, hoping that Ennis would run away quickly. They were not worried that he would be caught up, but the psychological shadow left by the black shadow was too great - almost everyone here had experienced the excitement of the black shadow chasing them many times.

Ernest looked inside the house and did not use space magic. Instead, he ran forward for a while. The black shadow sped up and flashed past everyone's eyes along the window. The classmates followed the black shadow without blinking.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Ernest stopped within their visible distance, turned around, swung his staff and instantly released two streams of flames. The dark shadow was chasing too closely for him to stop, and he was stunned to see the bright flames coming right at him on the head.

She has been chasing after people for two days, but she has yet to see anyone confront her head-on!

The people in the safe house were also stunned:

"Wow, is this the boss? He's fighting the boss just like that?"

"I really envy you for having the freedom to fight..."

"As expected of our president, woooooo..."

“An instant spell! He doesn’t even chant spells!! Ehhhhhhhh——”

"Our president is so awesome, woooo ......"

"Hey, hey, you don't remember which academy you are from? Who is your president?!!"

"Aren't we your own people? Now we are all your own people. Your family is my family. What's the point of distinguishing between us?"

"Wow, you Enil guys, please have some shame..."

People from the two academies crowded together in front of the small window to watch the game. Without their school uniforms, it was almost impossible to tell who was from which academy, although they could recognize each other.
