Chapter 637: Diana’s Magic

Chapter 637: Diana’s Magic


“You’ll see her. I think her preparations are more or less done. It will start soon,” Alexander said in a mysterious fashion, but did not go into detail.


“Alexander, you’re saying too much!” Another Russian behind them suddenly coughed.


Alexander shrugged casually, shutting his mouth after that.


After it quieted down, Xiao Lin let out a sigh, but still furrowed his eyebrows. Alexander’s vague words caused him to worry for the partic.i.p.ants on the field. Fine, his focus was still on Gu Xiaoyue.


As the only support, Gu Xiaoyue was definitely the core for the time being, and also the one they would focus on protecting. Based on the formation, even after the battle started, Cheng Ming and the others still remained close to Gu Xiaoyue, and would provide help whenever it was needed. Cheng Ming’s sword aura made his help very obvious, and he would always block any attacks toward Gu Xiaoyue.


However, Xiao Lin was still worried since Diana had yet to appear. He glanced over at the few Russians nearby, and they merely chatted with each other with a relaxed smile on their faces, not worried about what was happening at all.


Cheng Ming and the others also felt Diana’s absence, but due to the constant and unending disruption of their opponents, they did not have any chances to look for that woman at all. The mage of the team, Cla.s.s Two’s monitor, Sun Xiao, was frantically expanding his perception outward, searching every corner of the forest, but from his expression, it was obvious that he did not find anything.


Sun Xiao’s intelligence might not compare to Gu Xiaoyue and Chen Dao, but his level of perception was not behind the two of them. A mage’s role in a team was definitely not limited to just being a mindless cannon. They needed to be wary of the surroundings and use their perception as a warning system. High-level mages needed to master both perception and high-level spells.


If Sun Xiao did not sense where Diana was, then Diana definitely had something to counter perceptive abilities. Either that, or the woman was not in Sun Xiao’s perception range at all.


“How big is the stadium?” Xiao Lin suddenly asked.


“You’d need to ask your own people,” Alexander answered.


“Thanks.” Xiao Lin stood up and walked over to the Dawn Academy’s spectator area. He went and directly asked the president.


Alexander meaningfully looked at Xiao Lin’s back before saying to one of his companions softly, “It seems like he’s figured out our strategy.”


“So what? Even if he figures it out, there’s nothing they can do. Speaking of which, Diana should almost be done with her preparations,” his companion answered with disregard.



“The size of the stadium?” The president paused upon Xiao Lin’s question before saying, “Around two thousand meters. Why?”


If Xiao Lin did not activate Miracle or Ruin. His perception under his normal condition would be about a thousand meters, and Sun Xiao’s limit would be about that level.


“You think that Russian woman still hasn’t partic.i.p.ated in the battle at all?” The president furrowed his eyebrows. Dawn Academy was slowly gaining the advantage in the current battle on the monitor. Gu Xiaoyue’s support spells had increased everyone’s combat ability by a whole level, coupled with their advantage of numbers, it was a great issue that Diana still had yet to appear.


Most of them felt like Diana was hiding in the forest nearby, possibly waiting for the right moment to deal a finishing blow to Dawn Academy. That was a normal situation, and an a.s.sa.s.sin-type opponent would definitely place her target on Gu Xiaoyue.


“President, do you know much about magic? Oh, what I mean is, from the Bronze and Silver rank spells you know of, what is the greatest area they can cover?” Xiao Lin asked.


The president understood his reasoning. The president’s eyebrows furrowed even further as he said, “Spells of this level would usually be about two hundred meters at most. Due to how the elements diminish, they won’t be that threatening if they exceed that distance. In terms of attacking range, spells are usually considered middle distance.”


“I understand that principle,” Xiao Lin nodded. He had learnt it in the cla.s.ses during the last semester. Every spell was formed by elemental compositions, and were controlled by the user, but over a certain distance, the control would drop, and the composition of the elements would lose their stability, affecting the power of the spells themselves. When the elements were reduced below a certain amount, spells would disappear.


“A spell that can cover over a thousand meters? I’ve never heard of any within her rank.” The president shook his head, but his tone was not certain. Xiao Lin and the president exchanged a glance. Both of them were thinking of another possibility — she was a talent holder!


They did not wait long. After a few moments of silence, a sudden change happened. The monitor started to shake softly. No, it was actually the forest within the monitor that was starting to shake, and the fighters from the Russian Academy pulled away immediately; they did not hesitate to run away. Cheng Ming and the others from Dawn Academy did not know what was happening, but they still felt something and started their retreat, Gu Xiaoyue casted G.o.dly Movement on everyone quickly.


“The winner is decided.”


“It’s too late to run now.”


“But Aleksei is quite unlucky.”


“There’s no other way. Being with that woman will definitely lead to disaster.”


“They’ll definitely be compensated.”



Compared to the shock on Dawn Academy’s side, the Russian spectators were all very calm. It was obvious that they knew what would happen. From the words that he overheard, Xiao Lin was shocked and speechless to reach the conclusion that he did. Whatever the skill Diana was using, it seemed to be indiscriminate!


A loud rumbling could be heard as the ground in the forest was suddenly split open. Pillars of water shot up into the sky, and it seemed to reach the skies of the simulated environment. After that, a second one, and a third one… In a flash, countless water pillars covered everything they could see.


“Water Style Silver-rank spell, High Pressure Water Cannon. It uses water underground to cover a wide area of attack! But how is that possible? Where did that woman start her attack from, and why did no one stop her?!” a department head from the student union exclaimed in disbelief.


“That spell has been strengthened. The area of attack is much wider than a regular High Pressure Water Cannon. The victor has been decided.” The president sighed with a complicated expression.


“It’s only a Silver rank spell. They might be able to hold on.” Another department head immediately rejected it. If they admitted defeat just like that, they would lose their dignity because less than ten minutes had pa.s.sed since the start of the match!
