The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth-Chapter 485 Start of Inter-House Team Competition
Chapter 485 Start of Inter-House Team Competition
The ground was filled with students; today was an important competition. All houses were given a side from which they could support their team.
It took place in an open field, and onlookers were at the sides. It was an important match today in the quarterfinals, after which teams would get the rest of one day before they could perform again.
This was a brutal competition, and no one ever passed away, but quite a few suffered major injuries that took months to recover. It was just the start of the year.
All houses wanted to take advantage of these competitions and take a huge lead. In the later competitions, all houses would give their all.
It was a team performance, and the main way to score many points was at the sports meet. In that many games were played, it was easy to score many points, and that was the main target of all the houses.
However, these early points helped greatly in the end, when the difference was slight.
"Good evening, everyone. Today, we have all gathered again to witness the battle of the best house teams."
He said more things and introduced the format and rules before reaching the point.
"The matches had already been decided. The first match would be Naga House against Matsya House, while the second match would be Leo House vs. Eagle House."
"Let the battle begin," he added before commenting about both teams. Joining him was a professor who gave his opinions and predictions.
"The Matsya House team is entering the field; they have come with a solid lineup. Leading them is their captain, Pawan."
"In the absence of their main captain, will he be able to lead his team and secure a victory?" asked the commentator.
"Pawan is one of the best mages in his third year; I think he will be the main player in Matsya House. He has performed very well in the earlier competitions. I think they can rely on him," commented the professor.
"Now Naga House is entering. Their captain is also a mage. Pawan vs. Ankit is a battle between two great matches. Last time they faced each other, Pawan became victorious."
"We will be able to repeat it when fighting with a team. This will be a completely different battle," added the commentator.
"I will agree with it; the situations and pressure will be different in this battle. We have seen that teamwork and coordination play a major role in team matches. Individual prowess is often overshadowed," commented the professor.
The barrier was raised in the field, and both teams took their positions and equipped their armor and weapons.
Naga House people were confident; they were cheering loudly. On the other hand, Matsya House students were not feeling good.
Their team was very good the previous time, but they still lost; in this competition, they were the weakest side. It was tough for them to come back from it.
While most had no hope, many were still supportive of their house. They thought there was nothing to lose. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈
The referee announced the start of the battle, and like this, the first match of the inter-house team competition started.
Naga House has come as planned; their assassin used his concealment and disappeared.
Matsya team Assasin stood with the team for a moment. He was a new addition; he tried to be close to the captain and act according to the situation.
He was more of a scout who was a battle mage than an actual assassin. Their mage prepared his spells by raising his staff, and Matsya took a defensive approach.
Tank of Naga House charged from the front, using dark spells to increase his defense, mobility, and strength while forming giant walls with earth elements.
The mage of Naga House used his plant element and supported the tank to block the attacks and vision of the opponent. They were approaching them little by little in three groups.
The first group was Tank and Fighter, who were charging from the front; the second group, containing their ranged damage dealers, followed them, maintaining some distance from them.
The third group could be said of the assassin, who was not visible anywhere; it was hard to detect him.
"Naga House is attacking Agon; they are not changing their strategy. They look very confident and have quickly secured better positions; on the other hand, the Matsya House team is grouped up."
"Will their defensive approach work? Or is this some new strategy?" he added.
"I think they are giving respect to Naga House's formidable lineup and taking their time. They first want to test the waters before deciding their next moves," commented the professor.
"That's understandable, but Naga House doesn't look in the mood to give them any time; they are going for the kill. Matsya House might not get any chance to use their strategy fully."
'Boom', 'Clang'
When the battle started, the tank of Naga House entered the enemy backlines using his Dark Spell. He had a solid defense and was holding the opponents at bay.
Tank of Matsya House put his hand on the ground and cast a technique. Branches appeared from the ground and stopped the charge of the fighter of Naga House.
A tornado appeared on the other side that smashed the forest made up of plant elements into pieces. On this side, the battle of the mages was taking place.
Archers were attacking the opponents and harassing them. They were finding opportunities to deal massive damage.
"Pawan is called the Sorcerer of the Icy Hurricane. He has mastered three elements and can use their combinations skillfully," said the commentator.
"He is very talented, but his opponent, Ankit, is also one of the top ones. He has already fought Pawan before and is completely aware of his capabilities. I think he might be key to their strategy."
'Boom', 'Clang'
Weapons and spells met each other; they exchanged multiple moves. Naga House dominated, but they were still unable to eliminate anyone from the Matsya Clan.
Zones were unleashed one after another; they started intermixing, and it became a mess. The Zone of Ankit was huge; trees with long branches sprouted and started attacking Matsya House aggressively.
The disadvantage of Matsya House was now visible; their only three members were able to use Zone, while in Naga House, their whole team was capable.
It was then something no one had expected happened: the Tank of Naga House moved back and charged at the Archer of Matsya House aggressively.
He used his Zone and created massive walls that blocked him. Archer was trapped in the prism made by the walls.
At the same time, black ink appeared from the ground beneath his feet and turned into a figure clad in a cloak. He started attacking the archer with his daggers.
A pool of ink appeared around the archer that stopped him from using any momentary skills; the wall stopped any of his dash skills.
With a powerful strike, he was defeated and forced to surrender. The figure turned into ink and entered the earth again.
