Kai smiled upon getting the battlefield. On the battlefield, there were two camps with equal conditions, red and blue. The red team was Lion Group, while the latter was Eagle Group.

Their earlier battle plan had already nailed the place, so Kai only added the specific.

"Ayaka will stop Tommy in the woods. You have the trees, burn them down." Kai smiled at Ayaka before turning to Tasha. "Sister, you will go further to the hill. Maintain your position at the middle of this arena, so you can either teleport to their position or Ayaka's position. You have an elemental advantage, so you can manipulate him any way you want."

"Understood." Ayaka nodded.

"Haha… he will become my punching bag today." She laughed, wondering what kind of expression he would have when he met despair.

"Michelle will go with me across the wheat field. If we meet the twins, drag them to the village area to make sure no one would ambush us from the left. I will handle Isabelle Fisher by myself."

"Alright. No one would interfere with your fight."

"Evan will hide in the forest and be ready to heal someone if needed."

"Yes. An open field would be very dangerous if Isabelle is our opponent. I will try to get to a good spot."

Kai nodded before turning to Sanae. "Teacher is in this room, right? I mean as the commander."

"Yes. Since this fight is with humans and even terrorists would not be foolish enough to create a base inside the swarm of magical beasts. That's why we are free to use communication devices and radar. I will give you direction in this battle. Though I am sure you don't need to use a map… so I will just help these guys." Sanae shrugged.

"That is fine. My sister's place would be the critical one that needs your constant observation. If the enemy is too deep to our side, she can teleport and ambush Isabelle. And if she is too deep, their spear, Tommy, will be shattered. Though I prefer to defeat her alone as to shut her up."

"Kai… Be careful," Michelle said with a worried expression. She felt a storm might brew in this battle, and the center of that storm would be him. After all, Isabelle could not be underestimated.

"Yes." He acknowledged as he also prepared a trump card for her. "Alright. Since we have agreed with the plan, take your position."

They nodded, not hearing anything about the commentary from outside. They walked to the five tubes prepared for them to enter the battlefield.

However, Ayaka called Evan before going inside the tube.

"Evan." Hearing he was called, he turned back and looked at her with a confused face.

Knowing Kai's ability, she did not say her request. Instead, she was telling him something with her device, forcing him to read it.

All of them were teleported to the field. They were inside a barrier circle that would open as soon as the battle started. Kai searched his surroundings with his ears, looking for any weird places.

Tasha looked up to the sky, finding a blue translucent glass that seemed to be the barrier boundary. She looked around and noticed they were inside a barrier block. According to her calculation, the barrier was around five kilometers horizontally, while the ceiling was only around two hundred meters.

A few minutes later, Kai opened his eyes, finding nothing.

"The battle will start in a minute, prepare your weapon," Sanae stated.

Their weapons had been scanned and inputted to the system, giving them a perfectly simulated sword.

Kai and Michelle took out their swords, Tasha checked her bow by pulling the string a few times, and Ayaka clenched her spear.

Michelle did not use Shadow Walk again, as many people would watch her. If this ability were exposed, she would be in great danger. Even in her family, only her parents and her grandfather knew about it.

"3…"

"2…"

"1…"

Sanae counted down and the barrier immediately vanished as soon as the count reached zero. Kai ordered, "Go! I wish you luck."

Tasha made a pink magic circle, teleporting her, Ayaka, and Evan to the forest before using it once more to teleport her to the top of the middle hill. The hill was not really steep, but it was enough to hinder Nicholas, she thought.

Meanwhile, Kai and Michelle ran on the wheat field, exposing their position. Kai opened his Echo Location magic and let Michelle see it.

The radar showed her that their enemies had yet to move as he predicted.

…

On the other side,

Isabelle was flying to the sky by using her wind magic, looking at the entire field with her sharp eyes. This was to make sure Tasha did not teleport to their position right of the bat, ambushing them.

She found Kai and Michelle on the field, Ayaka on the woods and Tasha on the hill, albeit barely because of the distance. Although she could not find Evan, she did not consider him as a worthy enemy.

There were two possibilities in Tasha's teleportation. Firstly, she might teleport the entire group to ambush their group. This would make the thing escalate quickly and they had prepared for this scenario. The second scenario would be using her teleportation to ambush one of them. They could just eliminate one of them at a time and won the fight. Though she felt they were not going to use this strategy as the people outside would not accept such a thing. Of course, she knew as long as they won, it would not matter, so she also made some preparation for it.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Kai decided not to use both strategies, wasting the time they spent making plans. She then raised her fist, signaling the other to proceed with Plan C.

Noticing her signal, Nicholas made a huge green magic circle on the ground. Like Kudo Chiyo with her ice magic, Nicholas also created a small hill to get Isabelle's good sniping position.

She then stood on top of the hill, taking out her white sniper rifle. The weapon itself was close to Accuracy International AWM, or more known as AWM. This weapon had accompanied her for a few years as she learned all things related to sniping ability.

She laid down on the ground, putting her sniper rifle in front of him. The Twins, Eva and Eve, were guarding her. At the same time, Nicholas and Tommy went to the enemy's place together before separating midway.

After Kai and Michelle entered her domain in a minute, a smile appeared on Isabelle's face. "Let's see how you are going to fight this."

"Boom!"

…

Meanwhile, in the auditorium, the people were confused, forcing Diego to ask. "Oh! It would seem the two teams have taken their positions, and this place soon would become chaotic. Let us see what kind of battle they will show us!

"Wait, Everyone, wait! Let us observe the battle from earlier. I thought the Lion group would utilize Tasha Carter's space magic in this battle, but it would seem I was wrong. Teacher Yuki, can you explain this to us? From your perspective, why does the Lion group not use their biggest advantage?"

"Nah. You are wrong. They are using their advantage to the fullest." She shook her head before explaining it more clearly. "Firstly, both teams knew Tasha Carter's space magic would be a game-changer. That's why the Eagle group should have prepared for it. You can see it from how their team did not move for a while.

"They were utilizing Isabelle's eyes to check the enemy's movement, giving the Lion group a precious few minutes."

"Precious few minutes?" Amazement appeared on his face.

"Indeed. Just by looking at their teams, I know the Lion group will be on the defensive. After all, if they don't defeat Ayaka and Evan, they would probably lose. That's why these few minutes will be precious for the Lion group, especially Ayaka. Just take a look at her." She pointed her finger to Ayaka on the map, controlling the camera. Since this was inside a simulation room, they could watch every person or the entire battlefield like watching TV.

Diego turned back to the screen and shouted, "As expected of Teacher Yuki! Everyone, take a look at Kudo Ayaka right now. She is…"

He continued to make a commentary for each person.

On the other hand, Kai and Michelle were running smoothly in the empty wheat field. Just like how Isabelle watched her, Kai also observed her every action with his ears.

Until at one point where they arrived at the two kilometers mark, Kai pointed his finger toward the small hill, specifically toward Isabelle.

"Dodge to the right," Kai said, warning her from the incoming bullet as he heard Isabelle pulling the trigger while smiling because Kai could pinpoint her location.

Michelle jumped to the right without any hesitation, and three seconds later, a hole appeared right where she was. She could somehow sense it, but it might be hard to sense it if the twins occupied her.

"No bullet will come to you. Trust me," Kai said, making her smile.

Both leaders knew what to do and immediately shouted. "Go!"

Michelle and the twins were going toward the village on the left. On the other hand, Kai took a deep breath before letting out his beastly instinct.

She arrived in front of the twins not long after, preparing for a fight. The same applied to the others.

Nicholas arrived at the foot of the hill as Tasha aimed at him with her lightning arrow while Tommy entered the forest with precaution, looking out for traps. Ayaka appeared right in the deep of the woods, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Their respective battles would soon start.
