Chapter 103 All the Way to the Finals
Dali stood in the ring, now brimming with confidence.
Because last night, he had already learned all of Dorothy's weaknesses.
Dali wore a confident smile as he held a magic staff in his hand, which was inlaid with three second-tier magic cores.
"Watch me take care of you as soon as I come up."
He is very confident now.
Prince Luffy personally handed him this magic wand last night.
He knew Dorothy's weaknesses and had better equipment.
And what about their opponents?
He almost burst out laughing when he saw Dorothy's lazy appearance.
How could I lose? There's no reason to lose.
He will personally end the life of this genius of the City of Apprentices.
After the teacher checked both parties' numbers and confirmed that they were the right people,
"Both sides are now ready, the competition begins."
The moment the start was announced, the teacher had already activated his magic, watching both sides to prevent any accidents from happening when they used magic.
Dali made the first move, launching a short, low-power fireball with a shortened spell.
"Fireball!"
His strategy was simple: first, he would use his attacks to force Dorothy to defend, then he would create a slight opening, and when Dorothy began chanting her spell, that would be his best opportunity to attack.
This was also a tactic prepared in advance.
Just as Dali was waiting to see how Dorothy would defend herself against her magic.
Dorothy's next move made his eyes widen instantly.
Even Luffy, sitting in the head seat of the audience, became unsettled.
Because Dorothy didn't defend herself, she only slightly turned her body, and the fireball flew past her.
"What!" Dali exclaimed in surprise.
This one action alone made his palms sweat instantly.
"No, it must have been an accident."
Dali kept reassuring himself, gripping his magic wand tightly, his expression becoming completely serious.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Raffi and Luffy...
Ruff frowned.
It's changed, completely changed.
Dorothy's behavior pattern is completely different from yesterday.
It's going to break!
That's so despicable! Was everything you did yesterday just for my benefit?
Ruff cursed inwardly as he glanced at Raffi sitting next to him.
At this moment, Raffi's lips curled up, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Completely unaware that the prince next to her was constantly cursing the wicked woman.
Raffi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dorothy nimbly dodge the magic.
Although Dorothy hasn't even launched an attack yet, and her opponent has only used magic once, anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference in skill between them.
Under Dorothy's delighted gaze.
Rada recited the complete incantation and increased his magical output.
However, this action of his made his spellcasting time longer.
Dorothy, however, seized the opportunity.
"Fireball"
With a fireball spell that shortens the cast time, the opponent's staff was knocked off.
The magic wand fell, and the outcome was decided.
Lada stared blankly at his empty right hand, which was still burning and stinging.
He didn't expect to lose so quickly.
Upon seeing this, Luffy's expression instantly darkened.
He could only grit his teeth in silence.
"Your Highness is truly cunning, managing to mislead me with false information."
"Hmph, but this kind of move can only be used once."
Raffi had absolutely no idea why Ruff said that.
However, we can probably guess some things from these words.
Actually, she was also somewhat surprised by Dorothy's performance.
However, this did not stop Raffi from mocking Luffy at this moment.
"Prince Luffy, a loss is a loss, there's no need for excuses."
"Hmph, it was just one game, and you didn't win the final victory. We'll see what happens next."
Ruff felt that Dali's loss was entirely his own fault.
He was too trusting of his opponents.
Fortunately, only one person lost, so there's still room for redemption.
Raffi felt even happier seeing Luffy deep in thought.
What could be more enjoyable than watching your rivals get into trouble?
The fourth day of competition has ended. Dorothy competed in a total of three rounds today.
Every battle was won through a defensive counter-attack strategy.
She waits for the opponent to use magic first, then looks for weaknesses in their spellcasting to instantly defeat them.
They demonstrated a very high level of magical skill.
Then came the fifth day, and the pace of the competition began to slow down.
[Agility: 27]
He only played twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
Day .
[Agility: 28]
He only played twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
Dorothy suspects that the draw for her place in the game was rigged.
Moreover, Dorothy is currently the favorite to win the championship.
Every time he stepped onto the stage, he was greeted with cheers from the apprentices around him.
Especially the apprentices at the Alchemy Tower.
The apprentices of the Alchemy Tower were neither skilled in nor fond of combat magic, so a large number of them were eliminated.
However, that doesn't mean they want to lose.
After they learned that Dorothy was an apprentice at the Alchemy Tower, they all came together to support her.
Of course, Dorothy didn't really care about any of this.
What she was concerned about was the issue of betting.
My odds are currently declining due to my performance.
They all bet on themselves to win.
Moreover, the odds were actually not high a couple of days ago because everyone was betting everywhere.
As a result, Dorothy didn't earn much money at all.
Now that the hype has been raised, there's no money to be made.
"Can't this fame be turned into money? —"
Dorothy was not sitting in the audience at this point; she was moved to another location.
It should be said that the apprentices who have won so far have all been moved to more comfortable positions.
Originally there were tens of thousands of participants, but now only eight remain.
The winner will be one of these eight people.
Dorothy is the most promising of the eight.
Of course, this is just what's being said from the outside world.
Although Dorothy herself felt she would make it to the end, she needed to be more humble.
The final quarterfinals consisted of four rounds of head-to-head matches.
And the final two will be decided, and the competition will continue tomorrow.
This will allow the two finalists to compete in their best condition.
That evening, Raffi came to Elor's house again.
In the living room.
The princess was in a very good mood at the moment.
"Well done, just one last step."
Tomorrow is the decisive match.
Dorothy's opponent, naturally, is Sidor, a magic apprentice from the Kingdom of Azure Rock and another person Luffy values most.
Lafite made a commitment.
"If you win, besides owing you a favor, if you want to go further, I can recommend you to the Royal Magic Academy."
"The Royal Magic Academy only admits children of noble families, but it also admits a very small number of commoner children each year. Of course, they need to have extremely high magical talent."
Raffi really likes Rosie.
Then Raffi took out a delicate, slender magic wand.
The entire magic wand is only the length of an arm, with a crystal-clear magic stone embedded at the bottom.
"This is my personal staff; you can borrow it."
The fact that Raffi brought this out shows how much he values the result of the match.
Dorothy initially wanted to refuse.
But Elor, who was sitting next to her, nudged her with his elbow.
Leona also gave Dorothy a wink.
"Very well, Your Highness, I will not disappoint you."
