59-Chapter XIV Grade Competition, Kick Off


Chapter 14: The Yearbook Tournament, Kicking Off
GG3
Today's coma was subtle, and the countdown to coma always keeps ticking.
All of a sudden there were 2 hours remaining, and then the countdown went to 2 hours when it was still 10 minutes.
Are you kidding me, is this a bug?
Looks like I'm going to have to get a kit that's immune to all abnormal stats from now on, or else I'll end up with sound sleep one of these days from being too unconscious!
While I'm fine with a coma, is it really okay to be comatose like that when the yearbook game is 12 hours after that time of dinner?
It's really heartbreaking to see the countdown ticking away, after all, the experience that was so clearly within reach is like a duck in the mouth, and suddenly it's gone and I can only cry.
Eh?
Why there was a strange taste in my mouth.
"Evil..."
The nausea came all at once, and a mouthful of golden 'food' was spat out of me.
It took a while for me to recover, then I looked around.
"Yo, morning,"
"It's late, why are you here Alicia?"
"Because I was getting ready for your match, but I noticed you weren't at the prep table, so I came over to the prep room to see you lying down."
She then pointed to the two girls behind her who were looking at me with very guilty eyes and continued.
"Then I asked why you were like this, but I didn't realize it was because of the poisonous food you ate...it looked real, but it was glowing gold."
"Don't ask me, ask them."
She even opened her item bar and ordered the potions that lifted unconsciousness, poisoning and paralysis on one side.
Then ordered another bottle of energizer, and my whole body immediately returned to condition.
And I've been lying down for 12 hours and my fatigue level has returned to full, so there's no need to worry.
"That...Phil...I'm sorry."
Arlene came over and whispered.
"That soup seems to have had a problem when I seasoned it."
"So did I when I put the ingredients in...so, sorry."
I didn't expect Princess Yuko to apologize as well... it was rare.
"Hey~ It's fine. But next time, let's eat out properly."
"That's right, if it were me I would never choose to make my own, I haven't eaten at all the restaurants here."
"Aria, I didn't think you'd be so self-aware!"
"Of course...no, what do you mean!"
Just a moment after promising to do so Alicia reacted.
"Are you sick of my cooking? Huh? I'm not going to make food that's golden!"
"Purple?"
"...occasionally la."
"........"
Well, this guy is in the same weight class as these two, put this information into the brain's warning file, plainly a 'list of inedible items' okay.
"Well, this isn't the time to talk, is it? what time is it? Has the yearly competition started yet?"
"It should be starting now, but you guys were placed at the back of the line, so you should be fine."
"Even so, let's hurry over there."
"It's fine, this is the preparation room, just go out."
Indeed, this room looks just like the preparation room of the actual battlefield, but I've never been to the actual battlefield to the west, so I don't remember this side either.
Pushing open the door, the rushing cheers rudely flooded into my ears, and if it wasn't for the glow of magic still on my field, I really doubted if what I was seeing was an ancient arena.
The first thing I noticed was the fact that I was in the middle of a battlefield in the west.
It seems that the actual battlefield on this side actually has the function of connecting all the actual battlefields together to form a giant arena! It really is true that magic is more convenient than technology in many ways ah.
The arena is sealed into three sections, corresponding to the battle between the low level group, the intermediate group and the high level group.
What we have in front of us is the low level group's field, and above it is the battle between the water group and the earth group.
Above the surrounding stands are the academies of each department, and their attributes can be distinguished by the different colored mage robes.
Among them, the wind and summoning faculties had already exited the stage...no way...? Hill's class lost?
"What time is it already?"
"You've been unconscious until this afternoon, do you think it's easy to get a bottle of vomit at this time of day?"
"Actually, you could have asked Lanya to buy it."
"Lanyard? If you're talking about a golden ponytail rapist, I bought it from her oh."
"...Okay."
That guy is really dedicated to business at this point.
"Hurry up and get ready for the mat, you'll be disqualified if you're not at the preparation table by the time of your match."
"Hmm."
The so-called preparation seat is just a row of chairs placed at the very front, and there are 16 of them, and the ones still up there... are actually from the fire group.
I can't believe you're meeting a team that restrains my attributes in the first game? I really don't know if it's luck or bad luck.
This guy looks strong with his entire body buried inside his mage's hood.
On the other hand, the other guy looked to be about the same grade as him, with a head of fiery red hair tied behind his head.
Compared to his intimidating title, his eyes looked very clear and had a faintly dignified look to them.
Royalty?
There are so many awesome characters in this academy, why aren't they all becoming knights and other professions, why are they all becoming mages?
I've now met three royal families, and each from a different empire... is this a way for me to meet all the attributes and then summon the divine dragon?
Of course, that wasn't going to happen.
And the prince called Hitt seemed to notice us and turned to us with a nod of his head.
And at the same time, the battle on the field had reached its climax.
It was clear that both sides were exhausted from the long battle.
The water system was still familiar, Princess Anne and Elaine.
One of them was now harassing the other with water arrows, while Princess Annie was casting spells.
And seeing that incredibly complex magic pattern, it must not be a simple magic.
On the other side, the two of the earth-based ones were already struggling to use the earth wall for support.
Although earth was the strongest basic element in terms of defense, I saw that the earth wall had been mostly corroded by the constant firing of water arrows.
"Doomsday Tsunami!"
The powerful magic pattern combination was completed, and after a shock, from the magic array, a huge wave appeared out of nowhere, then swept over the location of the two earth-based participants.
I can already see that their blood tanks are zero, but inside the actual field, they won't die just yet.
"Water System, winning!"
The water slowly receded, and the judge immediately ran over to confirm the condition of the two Earth Group participants, then announced the results.
Princess Annie smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth, then turned and walked off the stage.
"Phil, I thought you were running away again and not coming."
Princess Anne smiled when she saw me at the preparation table.
"No way, I'm sure we'll get a chance to fight this one."
"Yeah? The one behind you doesn't think so."
I looked in the direction she was pointing, and the two from the fire group were looking at me with displeasure.
"Then... let's get started!"
