Chapter 364 - 246: Maya (Part 1)
"Your brother is really going to come?" Maya’s companion asked, looking at the empty spot in their instructors’ seats.
"He will come." As she responded, Maya manipulated her vitalized twigs to entwine around her arms—though not as tender as those from the World Tree, these twigs could still protect their owner.
The first day was between the lower-grade apprentices from different churches, who would fight from the opening battle in the morning all the way until evening—if there were teams whose victory was indeed hard to distinguish, there might even be tie-breakers.
Compared to the middle-grade’s clumsy performances, those of the lower-grade’s had even less spectacle, but what can you do when the lower-grades’ average age doesn’t exceed ten years old?
At twelve years old, Maya was already over-aged here.
"What the heck are those guys fighting in the opening battle, why did the lower-grade team commander from the Church of the Goddess of the Night decide to split the two giants on both sides? Wouldn’t it be better to put both on the left and breach the opponents’ line of shorties, then rush in and wreak havoc on their back row?" The team captain whispered about the situation on the field, "Remember, when we face this team, Maya, you come down hard on those two big guys, shock them down. The rest are no trouble."
Maya nodded, the captain was the commander, and Brother always said that a team only needed one voice, so what she said... was always right.
"What an ugly match." Maya’s teammate also expressed dissatisfaction with the scene.
Indeed, Maya thought so too. The team from the Church of Art and Beauty on the opposite side was equally idiotic; the only caster left the shieldbearer’s protection to attack a giant. Ah, hit by an arrow!
Though the arrowhead was removed, an arrow wrapped in white ash was still very painful when it struck the face.
