Cloud Thinking

By the 50th minute of the game, many teams could no longer suppress their anger. The reason was that they had been passively chasing the light beams that lit up every ten minutes throughout the game, but every time they finally arrived, they saw nothing, or when they were halfway through, they found that the light beams lit up again a hundred thousand miles away from them. Without any additional prompts, they were like dogs being played around by the organizers, or by the teams that had already obtained the designated items.

Another beam of light lit up. Beavis took a look at it, then unfolded the map in his hand and checked it, and drew a circle on the suspected location.

"Should we continue to chase?" asked the healing magician in the team. She was out of energy and had been running around with the team for nearly an hour, but it was all in vain. Not to mention the designated items, they hardly even saw other teams. The venue for this competition was so large that she wondered if she was participating in the third survival game.

"Damn, you're walking us like dogs! I'd better not know who has the thing!" Gena kicked the tree trunk next to him, and leaves fell down with a rustling sound. He had a bad temper. He was not very tired, but he was angry. He ran around like a fool, and in the end he didn't even see the designated item.

"Let's rest here." Beavis glanced at the other members of the team. Everyone looked exhausted. They had not stopped for the past fifty minutes and had been running the whole time. Moreover, the place where the light column just rose was very far away from them. Even if they rushed over now, it would be of no use.

Except for Genna, the other three breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to rest. Genna walked to Beavis, took the map from him, glanced at it casually, and didn't quite understand it anyway.

"Where are the mixed team?" Gena asked. Their two teams had been lined up together for two consecutive games, and maybe this round would be the same. He still hated Helia in his heart, and thought that sooner or later he would find a chance to take revenge.

Beavis glanced at him and advised, "I'm kindly reminding you not to provoke Bailey."

"Why? Did you develop feelings for her after she captured you last time?" Gena joked unhappily. He stroked his chin, recalling Helia's appearance, and muttered, "She is indeed good-looking, with a pretty face..."

"Put away those dirty thoughts of yours." Beavis rolled his eyes at him, and then said seriously: "I suspect she is someone powerful. Ordinary people like us who have no power or influence should not provoke her casually."

Beavis had sensed something was amiss after she had captured him into her domain last time. After the game, news broke that Helia had caused a scene in the council chamber for Karlzer, which made him even more certain that Bellelay was definitely not as simple as she appeared to be. The backers behind her must be very powerful, even more powerful than Talven, otherwise how could the academy expel the child of a great elder of the Magic Association for this?

"Come on, he's just a descendant of the elves with unknown origins. What kind of big background can he have? The elves have been suppressed for many years and have been hiding far away like turtles. Is there any need to be afraid of them?" Gena said disdainfully.

"I suspect she is not a descendant of the elves at all." Beavis shook his head. Although he had never seen an elf, Helia gave him the feeling that she was more like a member of the same race rather than an alien.

"If she is not, how do you explain her exaggerated and almost abnormal magical power?" Gena couldn't think of any other race that could be born with such terrifying magical power. This is far beyond the limit of the human race. Belei is definitely not a human.

"Maybe there are other reasons. If she is a descendant of the elves, it doesn't make sense why the academy is willing to offend Tarven for her." Beavis said. Tarven is a sophomore student. Although Beavis has never met him, he has heard of this arrogant and domineering guy. Many students who have been bullied by him have reported to the academy, but in the end they still suffer losses.

This was the first time I saw Tarven punished, and it was a severe punishment such as suspension and expulsion. Although it was because he used murderous magic in front of so many people, it was not difficult for him to keep his degree with his father's relationship in the academy, but he still dropped out, which was caused by Beile.

Obviously, Gena also knew Talven and knew what kind of guy he was. To be able to make such a person who had been doing whatever he wanted in the academy for nearly a year drop out, Belei's identity must be more than just a simple descendant of the elves.

"Do you think she could be the princess of the elves?" Gena guessed.

"Why would a noble princess come to us to learn magic? Please think carefully before you speak next time." Beavis was speechless. The magic system of the human race was built by learning from the elves. What kind of magic can't the elves learn in their own tribe? Why do they have to disguise themselves and sneak into Carters Academy? It's nonsense.

"Then I don't know. Could it be that Belleyi is the daughter of some great magician, who is feared by the elders of the Magic Association and the teachers of the academy?" The more Gena thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable. If she was the child of a genius magician and inherited half of the elves' bloodline, then it would indeed explain why she was so strong, even more powerful than Talven.

Recalling the garden he saw in the field that day, Beavis' intuition told him that Beley might be related to the royal family. Thinking of the news circulating some time ago, saying that Her Royal Highness the Princess was studying at Carter's College, if this was true, then Beley was most likely accompanying Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"No matter what, just don't mess with her."

Here on the mixed team——

"Hand over your things, and we will not embarrass you and will let you go."

Under the guidance of the light beams that lit up every ten minutes in an insidious design by the tournament organizers, the mixed team was finally caught by a certain team. However, there were only four of them left at this moment, and the other team was a team composed entirely of sophomores. Even if Helia was a good fighter, she would only end up losing to them.

"Tsk, Belei, don't give it to them, we can fight!" Drummond pretended to be unyielding and stood in front of Helia. Helia wanted to applaud him. With such acting skills, lines and rich emotions, it would be a shame not to nominate you for an Oscar!

"No, give it to me!" Seeing that Drummond was not willing to back down, Lydia drew her sword and blocked the group of people with a ferocious expression. If they dared to take a step forward, she would pounce on them and bite them.

"We found it with great difficulty, we can't just give it to them like this, we even abandoned Karl Ze because of this! We can't give it to them!" Britney also acted out the story, and her words were so sincere and heartfelt. You know what, this acting is quite fun!

"We can't beat them..." Helia gritted her teeth and looked down at the box in her hand, which contained the so-called designated items. She held the box very tightly, still struggling with whether to give it away.

"We have three magic swordsmen, and we are the runners-up of the last team competition. I treat you as my juniors, so I didn't attack you directly. Beilai, you should be very clear about the difference in strength between us." The captain of the team stepped forward and advised, "Hand over the things, and we will let you go."

"We are all students of the same academy. We will see each other every day. The seniors don't want to fight with you and ruin your relationship. You should quit while you are ahead." One of the magic swordsmen said. He didn't even draw his sword, but stood aside with his arms folded, looking like he didn't take Helia and the others seriously at all.

"Bah! This is a fucking competition, what's the point of talking about friendship? Let alone you guys, we've offended a lot of teams in the same grade as well. Are we afraid of offending more of you guys whom we won't see again in the future?" Drummond's attack power increased day by day, which made his teacher Helia very satisfied, but there was a hint of unhappiness in the satisfaction.

He has already said all the trash, what else do you have to say?

It seems that I have to cover his mouth next time... It feels so good to talk trash, I can't let him take all the advantage.

It really proves the old saying: Teach your apprentice and starve the master!

"Hey, while we are still talking to you nicely, don't be shameless." The magic swordsman who just spoke was scolded by Drummond and his face fell. He took two steps forward with his hand on the hilt of the sword and stared at Drummond not far away. Maybe he felt that as the older one, it was very embarrassing to be scolded by the younger student, so he was angry and wanted to teach this ignorant boy a lesson.

"Mirang, retreat." The captain spoke in a bad tone, but the next second he smiled and looked at Helia, and advised: "Belaiyi, we all know that you are very strong, but as the captain, you have to think about other teammates and the whole team."

"The next survival match will be held in a week. If your teammates are seriously injured in this match, just like in the last match, it will definitely affect the final results. I think you are a smart kid and you definitely don't want to see this happen."

Huh? That's a threat, right? It's hard to believe that he even embellished the threat, saying it so tactfully that if you didn't know him, you'd think he was really thinking about them.

"Senior, you are right. Even if we are lucky enough to escape from you, we may not be able to keep the things. Instead of making things unpleasant, we might as well do you a favor and give up the things." Helia replied with a smile.

"Hey! What do you mean by doing us a favor? Even if you don't let us, we can snatch it away by force. Do we really need to owe you a favor?" Mi Rang said unhappily.

Helia didn't say anything, but just smiled at their captain, expressing her attitude with silence: You'd better take care of your people, otherwise I'll be in a bad mood and won't do this business.

"Mirang, shut up." Judith glared at Mirang. Although Mirang was very unconvinced, he still shut his mouth and stepped aside.

Although the captain is not a magic swordsman, he has the highest say in the team. Everyone else follows him and listens to him. I think he must be a very strong magician, or like her, he has a great background and cannot be easily offended. But to make the magic swordsman who advocates force obey, he must have some skills. It is best not to confront him head-on, it is not worth it.

"My name is Judith. If you need any help, you can come to me after the game. I will definitely help you if I can." Judith accepted the favor that Helia asked for. He knew very well that Helia was a tough guy. Even though he knew that she could not beat them, since they could get what they wanted without bloodshed, why bother with her? If the noise of the fight attracted other teams, it would be a waste of time.

"I am convinced by the generosity of the senior." Helia made her own decision, looked at the two people standing in front of her, and ordered: "Dramond, Lydia, step back."

"Beleyi! Are we really going to hand it over to them so easily?" Drummond was still acting, obviously addicted to it and unable to extricate himself.

"Nonsense, why don't you go fight those three magic swordsmen? Remember to use your brain next time you go out." Helia scolded unceremoniously, walked up to him and kicked him lightly. Who made him snatch her chance to talk trash?

"You guys step back first. Once you're at a safe distance, I'll throw the thing over." Helia held the box and stood five steps away from Judith and his group, and asked.

"Okay." Judith had no objection and asked his teammates to step back. When the two sides were nearly ten meters apart, Helia held the box above her head and threw it out with force, then immediately turned around and ran with her teammates.

Now that the things have been given away, they have no value anymore. If these guys are a little ruthless, they can easily eliminate them. Although she didn't notice that the other party had such intention in the previous conversation, she still had to be on guard against others. It's always right to be cautious in dealing with people.

Looking at the backs of Helia and the others running away, Mirang sneered disdainfully and cursed in a low voice: "A bunch of cowards, so cowardly..."
