Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 285 - 10: Sisters Turned Enemies (10)

The headmaster was an elder, with green hair and a vibrant spirit, a Wind Element Mage.

At this moment, the headmaster had a peaceful expression, smiling as he looked at the students below.

"Everyone, you are all the pride of the First Academy. I hope you will achieve good results in this tournament."

The headmaster didn’t say much more, then took out a magic scroll.

The headmaster tore open the magic scroll and threw it high above the square. In the next instant, a golden light enveloped everyone in the square. Li Shuning and others only felt a blur before their eyes, and the next moment, they were in the thick forest.

Li Shuning and her two companions acted swiftly, immediately summoning their Contracted Demon Beasts and quickly left the spot.

Those who didn’t react were still stunned in place, and in the next moment, a great battle erupted.

Various magical spells flew out, and soon, some people withdrew from the competition.

Meanwhile, back at the academy, the headmaster and teachers remained in the square but were joined by many others as His Majesty the Emperor and numerous nobles came to observe the tournament.

After all, some of the people in the academy would be future pillars of the Empire.

In the square, there stood a large mirror displaying every move of the students in Illusion Moon Forest.

Seeing Li Shuning’s reaction, everyone present nodded in approval.

Handled appropriately, decisively, truly deserving of the title of genius, reacting so swiftly.

But Li Shuning wasn’t just fleeing with her friends.

After leading the two of them away from the crowd, she quickly chose a direction and, once safe, swiftly set traps all around.

Combining Magic Scrolls and Magic Arrays, soon the path they passed was filled with numerous traps.

If someone chose this route too, it would likely end miserably.

Seeing Li Shuning easily painting Magic Arrays, the hidden arrays concealed so swiftly and skillfully, everyone present couldn’t help but chat with Li Shuning’s father, praising him or asking about potential marriage arrangements.

Li Shuning was just too outstanding.

Li Shuning’s father had a face full of smiles, having such a talented daughter, the jealousy and envy on others’ faces secretly pleased him immensely.

When asked about marriage arrangements, our Duke Li was a bit troubled.

He used to see Li Shuning and the Yu family’s son getting along well, thinking they would be together, yet unexpectedly, the Yu family’s boy got engaged, and that fiancée was his precious daughter’s friend.

Seeing his daughter getting along with them so well without any reluctance or displeasure, Duke Li was a bit distressed.

What to do now, he watched Yuyu grow up, a good match, just became another girl’s fortune.

Yuyu and Nie Rou were engaged, and the plan to marry after graduation also stirred Duke Li, so now when asked, his heart couldn’t help but be moved.

Soon, the Great Duke was chatting with those nobles, discussing which family had an excellent boy, and which boy had great character.

Li Shuning had no idea that her father was finding her a potential future husband.

Li Shuning and her companions quickly headed deeper into Illusion Moon Forest.

They also encountered some Demon Beasts along the way, but those beasts had average strength and Nie Rou and Yuyu managed to handle them.

If there was a group of Demon Beasts, Li Shuning would also join the fight.

But the spectators were all full of praise, Li Shuning truly thought of everything.

Didn’t you see the teams behind them trapped by the Magic Arrays and Magic Scrolls, some injured and even directly forfeiting?

Unlike Li Shuning’s impressive performance, Jiang Lin’s situation was rather miserable.

Their team of four was now down to Jiang Lin and Jin Jie.

When they were teleported to Illusion Moon Forest, they didn’t leave in time and were affected by magic, with one teammate directly eliminated on the spot.

During the escape, another teammate got injured and withdrew from the competition.

On the journey to the forest center, Jin Jie got injured protecting Jiang Lin.

Luckily, Jin Jie herself was a Light Mage, so after a bit of healing, both of them cautiously continued their journey.

Jiang Lin’s brother was also quite embarrassed. After being teleported over, although he managed to lead his companions away, their luck wasn’t great, accidentally triggering several traps left by Li Shuning.

It’s worth noting that Li Shuning’s walking direction wasn’t a straight line, and she set quite a few traps.

Unfortunately, they had bad luck, triggering three traps in succession.

Although the Magic Arrays and Magic Scrolls didn’t cause significant harm to them, the commotion attracted other teams.

As a result, after several battles, their team suffered casualties, with one member severely injured and departing, while another was injured and although still able to move, their Magic Power was exhausted, unable to fight anymore in the short term.

They had been in Illusion Moon Forest for a day, and on the second day, everyone hurried towards the center cautiously avoiding others.

On the third day, Li Shuning and her team had reached the central area and started searching for the Crystal Ball.

Gradually, more teams reached the central area.

The real battles began.

It was a chaotic melee at this point.

However, after the previous exertion, teams reaching the central area were somewhat capable. Everyone was cautious; it was uncertain who would win.

Li Shuning and her team had already dealt with several teams.

Seeing their strong capabilities, other teams dared not provoke them further.

They began to fight amongst each other.

Li Shuning’s team now had the leisure to find the Crystal Ball.

However, Li Shuning did not immediately take the Crystal Ball.

At this time, with so many people still in the forest, the Crystal Ball could still be contested.

Facing group attacks would be unfavorable for them.

Li Shuning started setting traps around the Crystal Ball, then led her team away.

After the chaotic fight, various teams were in poor condition, except for Li Shuning’s team, which had preserved their strength.

At this time, Jiang Lin and Jin Jie arrived belatedly.

There were six teams staying at the forest center.

Jiang Lin quickly saw her brother’s team, now down to two people, her brother seemed injured, not looking well.

The only intact team was Li Shuning’s, the three of them looked in good spirits and even clean.

Other teams, more or less, had losses, and appeared disheveled, having either fought with other teams or Demon Beasts along the way, how could they not be in a mess?

Seeing the remarkable cleanliness of Li Shuning’s team, Jiang Lin felt both envious and annoyed.

Looking at those teams, Jiang Lin took a deep breath; apart from Li Shuning and her two teams, the other four teams were all from the graduating class.

At this rate, she feared she wouldn’t get a chance to win any rewards, nor even make it to the top three.
