The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 84 The Competition (Approximate)

The match continued on the ring.

Derian and Heledi were both frantically waving their wands, unleashing a dazzling array of highly aggressive moves—because several sections of the previously intact arena had now been broken.

Debris flew everywhere on the arena, but the area covered by Lu Renkui's protective shield remained unscathed.

At this moment, some people in the audience noticed that the group at the front had released protective shields, so they secretly moved in that direction, trying to get a piece of their shields.

Soon after, a group of people gathered around the group of people surrounded by the protective shield.

Then they were all knocked down by stones of various sizes and carried away on stretchers from their waiting area.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the waiting area, the school officials had no choice but to appear and tell everyone in the waiting area to sit down properly.

Then a huge blue protective shield was placed over the waiting area.

Seeing this, Lu Renkui withdrew the protective shield, thinking to himself: Why not just do it this way? Why did we have to carry a whole group of people down to add the protective shield?

"Let's sit a little further back later. If we sit in the front, all the gravel will get in our faces," Lu Renkui thought to himself, then turned to see how many people were still on the battle platform.

The waiting area was mostly empty.

At this moment, the outcome of the match was decided, with Heledi emerging victorious.

Derian, lying on the ground, looked utterly disheveled, a stark contrast to Heledi, who stood there perfectly unharmed and clean.

Having defeated Derian, Heledi seemed to be in good spirits, smiling and bowing to the audience.

Hu Xiaohai looked in the direction where Heledi had bowed in greeting, where the original owner of Hekar's parents, Sam and Catherine, were sitting.

Currently, Heledi is highly valued by the original owner's parents. Hu Xiaohai thought that the reason the original owner still receives their care is because of his frail health and because his parents haven't given up hope on him. If the original owner's magical affinity cannot be increased in the future, then it's only a matter of time before he is abandoned.

To break the curse... Is there no other book besides the ancient magic book in Heledi's hand that records this? Hu Xiaohai lowered his head in thought, then turned to look at the dark gray-haired boy on his right, thinking: This guy seems to go to the library often to read books, I'll ask him later if he has any way to break the curse.

Because Heledi and Derian fought so fiercely, most of the next people were left without a turn, including Lu Renkui in Borist's body and Hu Xiaohai in Haikar's body.

Next, 10 people will be selected from the remaining participants to advance to the semifinals.

Lu Renkui took on someone whose strength was slightly inferior to that of the original owner. In order not to stand out, Lu Renkui tried to prolong the battle time as much as possible, and then threw the opponent off the stage in the last ten seconds.

Hu Xiaohai was carried off on a stretcher before he even competed—he suffered heatstroke as soon as he stepped onto the stage under the blazing sun.

Sitting in the medical seat, Hu Xiaohai once again realized just how useless this body really was.

Looking at Helene's mocking face, Hu Xiaohai rolled his eyes inwardly, and then began to think about how he could persuade Borist to take him to the library later.

Next is the round of 10 to 5.

Lu Renkui followed the same tactic, trying to prolong the fight as much as possible and knocking his opponent off the ring in the last 10 seconds.

Now it's a five-to-three elimination round.

Lu Renkui did not receive a bye and continued to fight until the last 10 seconds before knocking his opponent off the stage.

Next was a choice of three, and Lu Renkui got a bye.

Lu Renkui, who had watched the entire match from the waiting area, was not surprised to see Hailaidi defeat the students from the top-tier class, which caused an uproar among the audience.

Lu Renkui planned to lose to this student from the top class—because the top class students were very strong in both written tests and practical combat. In the eyes of others, the original owner was just an ordinary student, so it was normal for him not to be able to beat someone from the top class.

Although the original owner's abilities were more than enough to defeat these top-tier students, it was still better not to attract too much attention. Third place is pretty good too.

With this in mind, Lu Renkui stepped onto the ring and began fighting against the student from the top class.

As the game progressed, Lu Renkui sensed something was wrong—the students in this top-tier class were clearly out of sorts, making frequent mistakes.

With 10 minutes left in the match, the student from the top class suddenly burst into tears, threw down his wand, and jumped off the stage.

Lu Renkui was startled by this change. Just as he was about to climb over the ring fence, he heard the teacher's voice: "Borist Flor from Class E of the regular class has won the match. Please take a short break and wait for the final match."
