No matter how powerful they are in the Little Witch stage, it doesn't change the fact that they all have relatively low health.
As long as Bai Jing can get within a hundred meters of Ai Li'er, she is confident that she can use the sharpness of spatial magic, combined with her own speed, to completely crush Ai Li'er!
"Do you really think that all I can manage to create in all this time is this little octopus?"
Ailier looked at Bai Jing, who had suddenly entered, with some disappointment, and her smile gradually turned cold.
"This octopus was pieced together entirely from multiple spells."
"So guess what I was doing for so long just now?"
Bai Jing glanced at the tentacle that was relentlessly biting her body, and a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in her heart.
Ariel raised her trident high, and countless seawater surged from her feet, turning into continuous tides. (Nine) Leng Siliu Qi + Ba Erba Yue-Yi repelled Bai Jing.
"Level 3 Rare Spell: Tide of Turmoil!"
Jiang Kehan suddenly crushed the railing in her hand, her eyes filled with worry.
"Although this spell is incredibly powerful, doesn't it indiscriminately attack friend and foe?"
Li Hui nodded and looked at Ailier in the dueling arena.
"Ariel is actually a very stubborn person and doesn't like to do things she's not sure about."
"Having finally gained this advantage, she will definitely not use spells that might not be able to kill Bai Jing."
"So even if this spell puts her in danger, she will still laugh with joy."
"Knowing that a monstrous wave was coming, she would only open her arms to welcome it, and the sky and sea would become clearer after being washed away."
Inside the dueling arena, Bai Jing could only helplessly stop her advance, watching Ai Li'er's contented expression, and whispered something.
"madman!"
Chapter 262 A Brief Dispute
"There's nothing wrong with being crazy; some things just have to be done in a crazy way."
"Otherwise, if you only consider the pros and cons, you can't be considered a good businessman."
Ai Li'er looked at Bai Jing, who had been crushed to death, smiled slightly, and calmly closed her eyes as she watched the raging waves crashing towards her, awaiting her own death.
Her plan was simple: since the migratory witches were faster than normal witches, and this was an aerial battle, an environment that suited their strengths.
Then gradually induce Bai Jing to take the initiative to attack, depriving her of the opportunity to wage guerrilla warfare.
Moreover, as long as Bai Jing dares to get close, there will inevitably be an opportunity that prevents the opponent from quickly retreating from the range of the spell attack.
If Ariel can seize this opportunity to unleash a wide-area damage spell that can kill in one hit, then victory will be in her hands.
The giant octopus was a setup that Ai Li'er had made from the beginning to ensure that she would die after Bai Jing.
"A good match." Gu Qingci clapped his hands, looking at Ai Li'er's resurrected figure with some satisfaction.
As the dueling teacher specially invited by the Witch Academy, Ariel had been beaten up by her quite a few times, so she could clearly feel Ariel's growth.
The old Ariel didn't have such a delicate mind.
If Ariel's current relentless pursuit is a prelude to final victory, then her previous actions were purely for tormenting her enemies.
The octopus created by "Piecing Together" is enough to prove that she had put a lot of effort into understanding the principles of magic during this period.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to control this giant octopus so smoothly.
"Let's congratulate the Witch Academy on scoring 2 points again. The next duel will begin in five minutes. Everyone, take a short break." Gu Qingci shrugged, his smile somewhat mysterious.
Meanwhile, Ariel, who had been resurrected, was punched hard.
"Can't you win normally?" Jiang Kehan admitted that she was still affected by the poison. Originally, she just wanted to give Ai Li'er a hug and then complain a bit.
Now his hand moved on its own, and he punched Ariel first.
"It hurts!" Ailier covered her head. "Kehan, you've changed. You weren't like this before."
She looked at Jiang Kehan with teary eyes, her tone pitiful.
Jiang Kehan's lips twitched. This time she was careful and only gave Ai Li'er a light kick.
"If you use that tone again, I won't be so polite."
"Huh, you're not even shy?" Ariel immediately stopped crying and said with some disdain.
It hardened, it hardened; Jiang Kehan's fist hardened.
“But I won, didn’t I?” Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, then said excitedly.
"Yeah, I know." Jiang Kehan pinched Ai Lier's face, but in the end she couldn't say anything harsh, but she was inexplicably annoyed.
"So what are your plans for the next round?" she asked curiously after letting go of his hand.
“Let’s draw lots.” Ariel shrugged. “It doesn’t matter whether we send out Solita or Noxi next, we only have these two choices anyway.”
"Moreover, in order to turn the tide, the opposing team will definitely send out Vice Captain Yun Yuexi."
"If we put Nuoxi on the court, we can give it a shot. If Nuoxi wins, we win too."
"However... you've also seen Yun Yuexi's information, haven't you?" Ailier asked with a somewhat serious expression.
"Mm." Jiang Kehan nodded, gazing at the group of the Wish Society across the way, looking at the witch with a serious expression and a somewhat taciturn personality.
"If we're talking about raw power, Yun Yuexi is the strongest member of the Wish Society."
Don't be fooled by Jiang Kehan's somewhat humiliating victory over Su Ying; it was mainly because Su Ying's poison was too disgusting, making her fight very difficult.
If we exclude the effects of Su Ying's poison, Jiang Kehan is guaranteed to win even more spectacularly than Ai Li'er.
But Yun Yuexi is different.
"Yes, Su Ying is in charge of poisoning, and Yun Yuexi is in charge of attacking. It's already a common tactic used by the Wish Society."
“Even I’m not confident I can beat Yun Yuexi,” Aier said with a shrug.
"So it's better to let Solita play and lower the points the opponent will get in this match."
"You should know that the winner of the last game with Solita only gets 2 points, while Noxi gets 4 points."
To gamble, or not to gamble on this opportunity?
Jiang Kehan fell silent.
To put it bluntly, they lack confidence in Nuoxi and Solita's abilities, which is why they are so conflicted.
"I...I want to give it a try!" It was Nuoxi herself who broke the silence.
She looked earnestly at Jiang Kehan and Ai Lier, and mustered her courage to speak.
"Even if I might lose, I want to know just how much of my strength I can unleash in a duel."
"So please give me a chance!"
Jiang Kehan and Ai Lier looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
The reason they didn't send Li Hui, who was guaranteed to win, to the stage was to allow the others to gradually get used to the atmosphere of the duel, right?
“Okay, we believe you.” Jiang Kehan casually hooked her arm around Nuoxi’s shoulder and patted her chest as she spoke.
"If we lose, I'll beat Yun Yuexi up in overtime and show her what violence is!"
Nuoxi's lips gradually curved into a smile, and her previously uneasy heart suddenly became calm.
Even someone like Jiang Kehan still possesses immense self-confidence… She thought to herself, and silently resolved to become someone like Jiang Kehan.
"Are you just going to stand by and watch Nuoxi go on stage?" Wu Yuhan said to Li Hui beside him. "You weren't like this before."
"You mean that I used to be like you, stubbornly clinging to victory and unwilling to trust others?"
Li Hui tilted her head slightly, a faint smile on her face.
“Isn’t that right?” Wu Yuhan countered.
“Yes, that’s why I used to be lonely.” Li Hui did not deny it. She did not like a life full of ups and downs, which is why she and Wu Yuhan hit it off immediately when they first met.
They were all somewhat accustomed to being alone.
“But I have been changed by others.” Li Hui looked at Jiang Kehan, who seemed like a big sister, and patted Wu Yuhan on the shoulder.
"The more you care, the less confident you are in others."
"It's time to make some changes, Wu Yuhan. Your controlling nature can no longer hide your inner vulnerability, which is why people are distancing themselves from you."
Li Hui turned her head and looked intently at Wu Yuhan's puppet-like little face.
"Even someone as aloof as Gu Qingci has his own friends, so why can you continue to use indifference as an excuse to indulge your own vulnerability?"
"What really makes others unwilling to associate with you is that you never trust others, stubbornly adhere to your own ideas, and want to protect them."
"But it overlooks whether the other person is willing or needs your all-encompassing protection."
"And sometimes, we are the ones who are cherished and protected."
Wu Yuhan did not argue; she just spoke up stubbornly, as if she were arguing with herself.
"However, the actions I represent have far more impact than just myself..."
Chapter 263 What you protect, I also want to protect you.
The sound was gently broken by the wind, turning into ethereal thoughts that remained in Wu Yuhan's heart.
She leaned on her cane, tapping it slowly and rhythmically on the ground, appearing somewhat anxious.
Wu Yuhan didn't think he was wrong, nor did he think he needed to change.
After all, witches are all stubborn like this, aren't they?
But when Wu Yuhan looked at Li Hui's happy smile, she suddenly felt as if a piece of her heart was missing. No matter how hard she tried to cover it up, it still felt empty, making her feel uncomfortable.
This void is called being loved.
"Am I... really always this great?"
Wu Yuhan asked herself these questions, and she briefly fell into confusion.
Her romance lies in protecting others without complaint or regret, but loneliness is not part of that romance.
After all, she also wanted to have her own warmth under the lights of thousands of homes, instead of being rejected by cold eyes and drinking alone.
Wu Yuhan clearly remembers that she also tried to use her talent of foreseeing the future to win people's favor and even made many friends.
