“Just the two of you, and you still think you can snatch the Gold Coins from all of us? Pure fantasy!”
The Fire Element team refused to back down.
Although they were on the weaker side at the Academy, they had numbers on their side—over fifty of them.
Facing just two opponents, they showed no fear at all.
“Oh, really? Then come and try it!”
“DRAGON’S ROAR!”
Mi Wenna casually waved her hand, and the nearby lake began to stir.
The once-calm surface suddenly turned turbulent, a whirlpool forming at the center and slowly peeling away the surrounding water.
Finally, from the heart of the whirlpool, a Water Dragon with a gaping maw burst forth.
“Water Dragon, activate Skill One, Spray Water!”
“Roar~”
The serpentine Water Dragon shot a high-pressure stream of water from its mouth.
Because the enemy was numerous, the Water Dragon had to sacrifice damage to turn it into an area attack and guarantee a hit.
By the time it landed on them, it had turned into a spray similar to a water sprinkler truck.
Its power was far lower than a normal water jet.
In short, the damage was minimal, but the humiliation was maximum.
The Fire Element team joked, “Water? If you hadn’t called it a skill, I’d have thought it was raining.”
Mi Wenni glanced back at the Water Dragon in the lake and grew furious.
“Can’t you aim better? Lock onto the one who just spoke. Quick! Use the Spray Water skill.”
“Roar!”
The Water Dragon sprayed again, and this time was different.
Now that it had a target, the water jet’s power wasn’t diminished at all.
When it struck the opponent, it felt like being hit by a high-pressure washer.
On top of that, since he was a Fire Element Dragon, the damage multiplied beyond measure.
But this was all within Mi Wenni’s expectations.
They weren’t idiots.
They would definitely defend.
They knew fire was countered by water, but there were only two of them while their own side had so many.
Running away would be too cowardly, so why not cast defensive magic together?
Surely that couldn’t be broken through.
“FLAME SHIELD!”
The Flame Shield was pierced straight through.
In the Water Dragon’s eyes, that kind of defense was the same as having none at all—utterly fragile.
“Ugh~”
The one locked onto by the Water Dragon was sent flying dozens of meters by the water blast and collapsed to the ground.
The others stared at the scene, somewhat shocked.
‘No way—the defensive magic we built together with all our numbers was less than a single simple strike from them?’
“What now? Still have something to say? The gap in strength is right here. If you don’t want to end up like him, hand over the Gold Coins you have right now.”
The Fire Element team was completely stunned.
Their captain only had five Gold Coins in total—not even enough to share among his own teammates.
Where would they get extras to give to others?
If it really came down to it…
The captain shot his teammates a few glances, signaling for them to split up and run later.
After all, they’d run into a powerful opponent.
Preserving themselves was the top priority now.
“Brothers, as of today, our team has encountered a mighty enemy. Now, we must fight for the team!”
As the captain delivered his passionate speech, the entire team’s spirits were reignited.
“Yes!”
All the Dragon Race members except the captain answered in unison.
The two Water Dragon sisters thought they were about to launch an attack and quickly entered a defensive stance.
At the same time, the sisters also pre-cast their defensive magic, preparing for a major battle.
“Come, let us fight for the team once more!”
“Captain, we’ll back you up!”
“It’s now!”
“Captain, we’re supporting you!”
“You gotta go! We’re running!”
Before the words even faded, the team members scattered in different directions.
The two sisters were dumbfounded by the scene.
‘So they were just trying to scare us?’
“Little sister, we can’t let them get away. You handle the left side, I’ll take care of the right,” Mi Wenni said.
“Got it, big sister!”
After a quick discussion, they gave chase at full speed.
As for those fleeing Fire Element Dragons, since they’d only received orders from the captain before running, they scattered after escaping, effectively losing their leader.
Without a leader, they could only flee along the predetermined directions.
Once split up, each individual became even weaker.
As long as the two sisters caught up, they were guaranteed to be captured.
Once caught, a single magic spell would strip them of all combat ability.
It was a battle with no suspense—the Fire Dragon team was doomed.
Because there were so many of them, the sisters chased from morning until night before apprehending them all.
At noon, Mi Wenni and Mi Wenna each brought dozens of defeated captives to gather by the lake.
Without exception, they were all restrained by hands and feet made of water, chained together with a single link.
“Big sister, I’ve brought them all here.”
“Good.”
They did a quick count.
The number matched exactly the ones they’d first encountered.
Not a single one was missing.
Big sister Mi Wenni nodded and solemnly announced, “Those of you with Gold Coins, hand them all over. Those without, I’ll send you to see the Dean. Your choice.”
Little sister Mi Wenna chimed in as well.
“I suggest you hand them over obediently. At least you’ll still have a chance to keep participating. If you don’t, you’ll lose everything.”
They reluctantly handed over their Gold Coins, but the two sisters didn’t send them to the Dean.
Instead, they chose to let them go.
After all, these were free laborers.
If they wanted rewards, they’d desperately search for Gold Coins, and once they found some, the sisters could come collect them again.
Perfect~
As for their lackey, he hadn’t had his Magic Power sealed, and he still wanted to keep trying, hoping to find a single Gold Coin and snag a consolation prize.
Meanwhile, Kasola had returned to the Academy and found Dean Weida.
Kasola stormed up to Weida.
“Dean! I want to report someone! They’re cheating!”
Weida glanced at him and asked flatly, “You there, student, what’s your business?”
“I want to report someone who brazenly used seal magic!”
Weida thought for a moment, then shook his head and answered with certainty.
“That’s impossible.”
“Seal magic?”
“How is it impossible? The magic was cast on me! How can it not be?”
Weida was taken aback!
Hearing that, he immediately leaned in, parted the hair on Kasola’s forehead, and saw the mark hidden beneath.
A black ring-shaped mark.
This was the evidence left behind when Zhu Qiu used seal magic.
Of course, Dean Weida recognized it too.
But… this Forbidden Magic had vanished for who knows how many years.
How could it have been used on his own student?
And by another student, no less?
Once he understood, Weida wore an expression of disbelief and asked urgently, “Who used the magic? Where are they?”
“I don’t know…”
