Chapter 322: The Greatness of Team Annie
🕑 Added 2025-03-18 11:57:11 +0000 UTCTheir opponents moved first. A second-year student with a large build immediately charged forward, launching a quick attack towards Annie. But before his strike could hit its target, Oliv had already jumped to the side, swinging his leg with precision and striking the opponent right in the ribs.
The man staggered back with a groan, his eyes widening in shock.
Team Annie did not give their opponents a chance to recover. With incredible speed, they quickly spread out into various positions, attacking with perfect coordination.
William moved nimbly, dodging every attack before countering with quick and precise strikes. Harl supported William with sharp attacks that covered the gaps in William's defense, ensuring there was no opportunity for the enemy to counterattack. Meanwhile, Jae Hyun relied on his physical strength to face two opponents at once, with Oliv ready to provide support for Jae Hyun and Harl, maintaining the team's balance at the front line.
On the other side, Annie acted as a protector for Yuna and Cynthia, who were positioned at the back. Cynthia skillfully shot her arrows, providing protection from a distance and ensuring her teammates remained in a safe position. Meanwhile, Yuna used her abilities to strengthen all team members, enhancing their endurance and attack effectiveness in the midst of battle.
Their opponents, who had initially been confident, began to falter. One by one, they fell.
Minutes later, the fight ended. Team Annie stood tall in the middle of the field, while the second-year team lay exhausted on the ground, unable to rise again.
The entire stadium fell silent.
Then, within seconds, an explosion of cheers shook the arena.
"WHAT?! They won?!"
"The first-year team defeated the second-year team?! No way!"
Annie's face remained calm, but her eyes shone with pride. She glanced towards the stands, hoping to see Haruto in the crowd. But Haruto was not there.

The City Academy Sports Festival always featured team battles as one of its main events. In this competition, each team consisted of five to ten members. Having a larger number could provide an advantage, but strategy, coordination, and individual strength remained the key factors in determining victory.
The stadium field would be transformed by the academy using embedded Mystic Arts. After each group was separated by barriers and the fighting area was expanded, the terrain in each section of the field would change into various challenging environments—dense forests full of obstacles, sandy deserts that hindered movement, and even vast waters that tested the participants' stamina. Students had to adapt quickly and think smartly in facing every challenge presented.
There were two ways to achieve victory in this battle. First, defeat all members of the opposing team until none were left. Second, target the opposing captain—if the team captain was defeated, then the entire team was automatically declared defeated.
That is why strategy, teamwork, and tactical intelligence were the main keys in this competition.
Team Annie's superiority was not a coincidence. They had trained hard under the guidance of Haruto Sato—a second-year student known as a troublemaker. However, despite Haruto's notorious reputation, he was an excellent fighter. In the previous semester's exam, Haruto led his team to achieve first place, defeating many stronger and more experienced teams.
Team Annie chose to learn from Haruto.
Their training days were not easy. Haruto never gave them shortcuts. The training he provided was tough, almost merciless. But the results? Today, they proved that all that hard work was not in vain.
Before the match, they wanted to meet Haruto—not to ask for guidance, but to show that they could win. They wanted to prove that training under Haruto had made them stronger.
