The third day of the nine-school competition is the most important day of the regular season, because this day is the final of "Surf Racing" and the preliminaries and finals of "Icicle Attack and Defense".

"Surf Racing", as its name suggests, is a competition in which players use skateboards to surf. Of course, there are also regulations, that is, direct attacks on other players with magic are not allowed, and only indirect interference through water surface interference and other methods is allowed.

As for "Icicle Attack and Defense", it is actually a bit similar to a tower defense battle. Players from both sides stand on a high platform, and then several rows of huge rectangular icicles will be erected on the platform in front of them. All the players have to do is protect themselves.

The icicles here, and then use magic to destroy the icicles on the opponent's position.

The "Icicle Attack and Defense" is also the most popular competition among the audience besides "Illusion Star Reaching" and "Secret Tablet Decoding". The reason is that this is the only competition that allows players to wear whatever they want in order to calm down their mood.

The clothes you wear. As long as it doesn't violate public order and good customs, it doesn't matter if you dress up as a maid, a witch, or anything else.

So this is also the most popular project among the audience - who doesn’t like to see legal COSPLAY?

For Fang Zheng, "Surf Racing" is not difficult. Basically, he does not need to use any means at all, because compared to the activation speed of magic, no one is faster than Fang Zheng. Often, Fang Zheng disappears just after the whistle sounds.

At the end of everyone's sight.

However, to Fang Zheng's surprise, there was a problem with the women's team on the other side.

"what's the situation?"

After the semi-finals of the men's group ended, Fang Zheng received a call from Mayumi Nanakusa, asking him to come back immediately. So Fang Zheng hurriedly returned to Ichigao's camp. As soon as he walked in, he saw everyone looking solemn.

It looked like something big had happened.

"You are finally back, Kasugano-kun."

Seeing Fang Zheng appear, Nanakusa Mayumi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Molly, something happened to her."

"Something happened?"

"Yes, there was an accident in the game..."

According to Mayumi Nanakusa, in the women's "Surf Racing" semi-finals in which Watanabe Mori participated, the No. 7 High School player seemed to have lost control, causing her whole body to flip directly and rush forward, and Watanabe Mori wanted to catch it.

She, but for some reason, made a mistake and both of them were knocked off the track, so the women's semi-finals were aborted.

"How is the situation, Watanabe-senpai?"

"A few ribs were broken. The doctor has used battlefield first aid magic to cure them, but I won't be able to move freely for at least ten days."

"That is to say, not only the surfing competition, but also the fantasy star-catching event, she can't participate in it?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, while Nanakusa Mayumi nodded solemnly.

"What now? What does the presiding committee say?"

"They announced that the women's competition will restart half an hour later. Naturally, Morley will not be able to play. As for the player from the seventh high school, he has lost his qualification for the competition."

Saying this, Nanakusa Mayumi looked at Fang Zheng.

"Kasugano-kun, I feel..."

"I understand what you want to say, but we can talk about this later."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, then glanced around the crowd.

"The most important thing right now is to find a substitute...Honoka."

"Why?!"

Hearing Fang Zheng call her name, Mitsui Honoka who was standing next to her suddenly jumped up in surprise.

"You take the place of Watanabe-senpai to participate in the semi-finals of the surfing competition. Shizuku, you take her to change clothes now."

"OK."

After hearing Fang Zheng's order, Kitayama Shizuku nodded, and then pushed Mitsui Honoka, who was still confused, to leave. And Nanakusa Mayumi looked at Fang Zheng in surprise, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Kasugano-kun, you..."

"I know what you want to say."

Fang Zheng waved his hand again.

"You suspect that this is not an accident, but a conspiracy against us. Well, actually I think so too."

"But in that case..."

"That's why we can't let them succeed."

Fang Zheng stared at Nanakusa Mayumi.

"Currently, we are not sure whether this is just a conspiracy or an accident. If it is really just an accident, that's it. If it is a conspiracy, then our obedient abstention will only make the opponent's arrogance more arrogant. And Watanabe-senpai finally managed to get to the middle of the fight.

In the final, you don’t want to see her hard work go to waste, I’m sure that if she wakes up, she will definitely not want to face such a scene.”

"………………"

Hearing this, Nanakusa Mayumi stopped talking.

"Then that's it, I'm going to see Honoka, and I'll ask you, president, to apply to the competition host committee for a change of players. Also, by the way, I'll ask the host committee for the surveillance video of the previous game."

"OK."

Mayumi Nanakusa nodded, but showed a confused expression again.

"But, is Mitsui-san really okay? Although she also signed up for the 'Surf Racing' in the rookie competition, the level of the rookie competition is completely different from that of the regular season."

"President, you don't have to worry."

Fang Zheng laughed and walked out directly.

It turns out that Honoka herself had the same idea.

"Kasugano-san, can I really, really participate in the regular season?"

Mitsui Honoka, who appeared in front of Fang Zheng again, had already changed into competition clothes. It was a tight-fitting, full-body swimsuit like a diving suit. Although it covered the girl's skin very well, the prominent lines were

There is no way to hide it. However, at this moment, Mitsui Honoka didn't seem to care about such a trivial matter at all. Instead, she stared nervously at Fang Zheng and asked. When hearing Mitsui Honoka's question, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"Don't worry, Honoka, relax. Trust me, haven't I already built an optical magic system for you? And you have practiced it, so there will be no problem."

"But……………"

"Don't be too nervous."

Looking at Mitsui Honoka's still pale face, Fang Zheng reached out and touched her hair.

"You have to know that Watanabe-senpai is no longer able to play in this semi-final. If we don't play again, it will be a forfeit. So you don't have to worry about whether you will get good results, just treat this game as a

That’s enough practice…understood?”

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng's voice was much lowered, and his voice seemed to have some kind of magic power that penetrated into Mitsui Honoka's ears, making her originally nervous and uneasy mood gradually calm down.

"Don't... care too much?"

"That's right, don't pay too much attention to it, just think of it as a preview for the newcomers before the game. By the way, you can also feel the atmosphere of the regular season. You are a substitute and a first-year freshman. No one will think that you can be a threat to them.

.So just go ahead and do it.”

"I see."

Mitsui Honoka nodded vigorously, then turned and left. At this time, Kitayama Shizuku came over.

"I didn't expect you to be able to calm her down. This really surprised me."

"Yeah?"

"certainly."

Kitayama Shizuku nodded.

"Honoka's strength is actually on par with mine, but her personality has become the biggest problem. She doesn't like fighting with others, nor does she like too fierce confrontations. This is a very obvious weakness."

"People always grow."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and looked away.

"Okay, let's get ready to enjoy her performance."

Soon, Fang Zheng and Shizuku Kitayama came to the auditorium and sat with others. At this time, the organizer also said that everything was ready, and then the women's "Surf Racing" semi-finals began again.

Soon, the players were in position again, and Mitsui Honoka also stood on her own skateboard - compared with other players' surfboards, that skateboard was obviously different.

Of course, as to what is different, that is another matter.

"beep-----!!!"

The game begins the moment the starting gun sounds.

At the same time, with Honoka Mitsui as the center, the surrounding water surface suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The other players were completely unprepared. They were suddenly disrupted by the flash of light and fell into the water one after another.

Then, before the light faded, I saw Honoka Mitsui rushing out at once.

"This is really unexpected."

Seeing this scene, Mayumi Nanakusa who was next to her also became emotional.

"I had thought that the CAD that Kasugano-kun adjusted for Mitsui-san was definitely unusual, but...I see, is it the flash type?"

"Light is a very powerful ability at any time."
