Chapter 297 The Battle Begins
【Character: Kira】
[Life: 8]
[Magic: 8]
【Skill:
Genius of Mischief: Once per round, you can draw cards equal to the number of current players from the deck, and then select the same number of cards to be placed in the hand of any other player. These cards are called "Mischief" and cannot be used or discarded.
Genius of Pranks: When a player's turn begins, if the number of "Pranks" in his hand is an odd number, the number of cards drawn during the draw phase will be -1; if it is an even number, the number of cards discarded during the discard phase will be +1.
Talent of Mischief: During the card-playing phase, you can remove any number of "Mischiefs" from other players. If the number of "Mischiefs" removed this round is 1, they discard a hand card or equipment card; if it is 2, they lose a point of magic power; if it is 3, you cause a point of life damage to them.
Word Spirit: You can use your 'Magic Card' as any Magic Card that has been used on the field (except for Magic Cards that have been used in this way in the same round); your 'Attack' and 'Defense' can be used interchangeably; the effect of the 'Recovery' you use is doubled.
Item Merchant: You have 2 equipment/item slots, and each time you lose an equipment or item, choose one of the following: draw 2 cards; restore 1 health point; restore 1 mana point.
Light of Hope: Awakening skill. When you are dying, immediately increase your health and mana limits by 2 points and restore half of your health and mana. Increase the number of cards you draw and the upper limit of your hand by +2. 】
After looking at Kira's character card, Cana and Lucy were stunned for two seconds, and then exploded at the same time.
"Hey, your health and mana are too high! Why are they twice as high as ours?!"
"The name of the skill is weird too! How much do you like playing pranks?!"
"The name is weird, but the number and effect are too unfair!! There's no way they can win, right?!"
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Kira clapped his hands three times in a row to stop the two from shouting, "I told you, this skill is manifested according to each person's strength, absolutely fair and just! My value is so high because I am stronger than you! Among the sixteen people in this assessment, only Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel have a value of 5. You are really average!"
"As for the number of skills, the first three skills related to 'Mischief' should actually belong to the same group. I just separated them, so there is the illusion that 'I have a lot of skills'. In fact, I only have 4 skills like you. The same goes for Lucy's [Astral Summoning] and [Astral Command]!"
Kira explained to the two of them seriously, "Or do you think it would be more promising if I tried my best to stop you from taking the exam?"
"this……"
Lucy and Cana looked at each other and sat down in silence.
Indeed, for them, the probability of winning by playing cards is higher than that by fighting.
"The probability of winning..." The two returned their attention to the three character cards. Half a minute later, they threw them to the ground at the same time in anger, "How can we possibly win?!"
"Well...how about this!"
Seeing that the two were about to cry but had no tears, Kira finally resisted the urge to watch them cry and decided to relax the test standards. " If you can hold out until the end of the 10th round in my hands, you will pass! And considering that this is a team test and the gap between us, I can also cancel the 'main and deputy mode' and change it to 'challenge mode'."
"The so-called challenge mode means that if one person dies, the other person can be resurrected if he or she can hold on for three rounds alone!"
The two of them were instantly delighted: "Really?!"
Kira smiled and nodded: "Really! Anyway, the examiners in other channels, except Erza, will definitely not try their best to stop it!"
"That's great!" Cana and Lucy hugged each other and cheered.
"Well, if you're ready, let's get started!"
…
While Kira, Cana and Lucy were explaining the rules, the assessments for other channels officially began.
In Channel A, Elfman and Alba Green met Mira.
The future couple is currently taking the first step towards emotional communication and fighting together.
In Channel B, Felide and Bigusro met Laxus.
Out of respect for the rules, the three men started fighting after a brief greeting; and due to the deep friendship between the two sides, none of them took the fight seriously.
In his heart, Felide admired Laxus very much, so it was difficult for him to attack him directly, so he chose to let Bigusro take the main attack while he assisted from the side and took the opportunity to set up the spell; Laxus pretended not to see it and used 30% of his strength to fight Bigusro on his own. The two fought back and forth, but neither was hurt.
In Channel D, Juvia and Lisanna met Erza.
Without any mercy, Erza directly put on the Armor of Poseidon and the Sword of Entei that could restrain Juvia. With every move, she caused the ground to crack and the walls to collapse, with rubble falling one after another.
As for Lisanna, even after receiving the animal soul, her speed was still not enough in front of Erza, and her attack power was barely enough to tickle her. Erza didn't even need to change her armor to beat her until she was out of breath and in a state of embarrassment.
In Channel E, Natsu and Happy met Gildarts.
Facing this man who was truly the second best in the guild, Natsu had no power to resist at all. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't get him to move even a step.
As for the harpy, He is here just to watch the show and complain.
In channel F, Levi and Gajeel were lucky enough to choose "Quiet" and passed the first level calmly. They were the group with the best "luck".
In channels G and H there was fighting, with Gray and Rocky facing off against Mest and Wendy.
In order not to reveal his identity, Mest did not use any memory modification or teleportation and could only fight with his fists. Naturally, he was no match for his opponent and was beaten back step by step. Wendy had a bad temper and lacked combat awareness, and now all her magic was focused on auxiliary use. Once she was targeted, she was completely defeated.
In fact, ice and light magic are not particularly powerful magics, but they are no match for Gray and Rocky.
Under the influence of Kira, especially after Zonia ate the experience pack, Gray is about 30% stronger than at this time in the original work; and Loki, who has regained his identity as a celestial spirit and regained his celestial power, is already much stronger than when he first stayed in the human world for two years. Now with Lucy's growth, he can also call upon more star power.
The outcome of this mutual combat test was determined from the moment they stepped into the passage.
At the end of the passage, Markov walked slowly towards them.
He sat down on a huge rock, looking calmly towards the cave exit in front of him, waiting for the children's test results.
…
"This is your best luck? Not bad!"
In Channel C, Kira, Kana, and Lucy sat in a triangle formation. After rock-paper-scissors, Kana took the first place, Lucy took the second place, and Kira took the third place.
Although he was at a disadvantage, Kira was not afraid at all. The strength gave him enough confidence.
"Well, let's get started!"
At the beginning of the game, four players take turns drawing four cards.
First round.
Kana's turn began. She drew two cards from the top of the deck and then fell into deep thought.
At this time, the cards in her hand were: basic cards [Attack], [Defense], [Recovery], magic card [Ice Attack], magic card [Fire Wall], and an equipment card [Torch].
[Ice Attack (1): Causes 1 point of ice damage.]
[Fire Wall (1): After use, it can defend against one water attribute attack of the same level.]
PS: Same level: If the magic consumption is the same, it is considered the same level
[Torch: Normal attacks add fire attribute effect]
'This is a good set of cards, very balanced. Although it doesn't have much effect in attack, it is very good for delaying time! '
After analyzing the cards in her hand, Kana looked at her skill bar again: "The skill [Drunkard] prevents me from keeping the cards for defense outside the round, which means I have to use all the cards in the round! It seems that in this battle, I have to act as the main attacker and delay time for Lucy!"
Thinking of this, Kana made a prompt decision and took the lead, aiming directly at Kira: "Use [Ice Attack]!"
The battle horn has been sounded, but Kira is not in a hurry. He just backhands... and deducts a little life.
"Do you want to awaken quickly?" Kana immediately realized Kira's purpose.
Kira smiled and said nothing: "Come on!"
“Then let’s give it a try!” She attacked Kira again, “Use [Attack]!”
Kira loses another drop of blood, and his health is left at 6.
Kana uses [Recovery] to restore her mana to full, equips [Torch], then discards [Defense], activates the skill [Card Master], and obtains the card [Ice Shield].
[Ice Shield (1): After use, it can defend against one fire attack or physical attack of the same level.]
"Use [Fire Wall], [Ice Shield]!"
Being able to defend before others attack without occupying cards in your hand is the biggest advantage of 'magic cards' over 'basic cards'!
As Kana's last two cards were used one after another, the discard phase finally arrived, triggering the locked skill [Drunkard], discarding 0 cards. The first round ended here, and all 6 cards in her hand were used up without any waste!
