Option 3.8 is 3.8%, option 3.8 is 7.7%, option 34.6 is 3.8%, option 42.3 is [-]%, option [-] is [-]%, option [-] is [-]%, and option [-] is [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Aiming at the abyss field, summon a dragon-shaped monster with hard power to fight]

……

【Task】

【Summoning a dragon-shaped monster】

【award】

[Abyss terrain in the knockout round]

……

Looking at the words displayed on the watch, Tao Tao froze in place with the magic stone of dark attribute in his arms.

Because there was a two-day gap between the first task and the second task, she thought that the task always had to wait for a while.Unexpectedly, the third mission was released so soon.Moreover, the request was what she was about to do now: Summon a monster.

The task content is to specify the type of monster.

"Dragon shape."

Tao Tao pressed his hands into fists against his lips, muttering to himself.

"The instructions are so vague... even more vague than the previous two times. Dragon-shaped monsters? Jiao-shaped? Chi-shaped? Or... Thick body and wings... There are too many kinds."

"Does that mean that either one is fine...?"

Tao Tao glanced at the dialog again.

"No, wait."

……

【award】

[Abyss terrain in the knockout round]

……

"I understand!" Tao Tao clapped his hands violently, "Here is the information! The reward is the abyss terrain, that is to say, let me transform into the dragon-shaped monster that often appears in the abyss terrain, so that it is easier to win!"

"It turns out that these mysterious missions have deep meanings. I originally answered that I wanted to become a magister... So, let me pass this college competition and master dark magic, right? After mastering dark magic, I can naturally become a magister again !"

"I've completely understood! Mysterious man, I'm so sorry for doubting you just now!"

Tao Tao was overjoyed and immediately started calling.

Right behind her, Zheng Zhuo, who was hiding in the shadow of the outer wall of the training ground, was already breaking out in cold sweat.

"Fortunately... [Naive One] has such a positive personality..."

Zheng Zhuo actually didn't think that much!Only the dragon shape is written because he doesn't know that there are classifications of dragon shape monsters.

However, if the result is good, it is good.

"A dragon-shaped beast of the abyss."

Tao Tao closed her eyes, and tightly held the dark attribute magic stone in front of her chest.

The abyss is the most dangerous terrain recognized by the Magisters Association.There are ferocious monsters living inside, and it is pitch black, with the only light source being the scorching hot magma gushing out from time to time.

The vast majority of summoners have no experience dealing with abyssal terrain.

But as the former chief, Tao Tao is not among the "overwhelming majority".

"The most common, without a doubt . . . is it."

Abyss dragon.

The whole body is pitch black, standing on two feet, with wings covering the sky and the sun, golden eyes, and a big blood-red mouth, which can spit out ultra-high temperature magma.

Among the several abyss explorations that Tao Tao has experienced, the abyss dragon is undoubtedly the most common and most threatening enemy.

"Can it really be summoned...No!"

The dark attribute magic stone radiated pure black light on Tao Tao's chest.

"The mission only requires summoning... I just need to go all out!"

Tao Tao no longer hesitated.

The wind picked up, and the dark energy in the field began to gather around her.They are no longer lifeless like dirty water in a depression, but start to agitate as if they have life.

Tao Tao who closed his eyes didn't see it, but Zheng Zhuo who was outside saw it all.

He once thought that for such an optimistic girl, driving the dark attribute would not be as suitable as driving the light attribute.

But it turns out he was wrong.Agitated by those dark attributes, they frantically climbed onto [The Naive One]'s body.They clustered around their owner, squealing with delight, and gathered in her palm.

then.

"bring it on!"

One command.

The energy faded into the field like a tide.

On the uneven ground left by the ebb tide, a slowly undulating, black mass appeared.

"..."

Tao Tao opened his eyes.The black lump also raised its head.

Golden eyes, blood red mouth.

She saw it: her summons.

The size is only one hundredth of the abyssal dragon she has seen before.However, there is no doubt that it is a monster... a...

"The dragon of the abyss... I... I succeeded..."

The call of monsters.Something no one has ever done before.It worked.

Tao Tao stood there in disbelief, without moving for a long time.

……

…………

Two days later.

There was a lot of voices and colorful flags fluttering.Various types of magic camcorders traveled through the air, and the largest square of [Udoma Magic Academy] was full of teachers and students from the whole school.

...Of course, those students who did not participate in the college competition.

Everyone looked at the huge magic screen in front of them.On the magic screen, a huge circular field was reflected.The outermost ring of the circular field is divided into eight different areas.

And above the circular field, there is a huge floating platform.

On the floating platform, hundreds of students stood together in pairs.

They are the contestants who will participate in this year's [Academy Competition].

Zheng Zhuo stood on the backstage of the temporary janitor, looked at the big screen, followed the instructions of the foreman, and finally confirmed the status of the instrument.

Beside him are the indicators of various instruments for this competition.

Zheng Zhuo paid special attention to the lottery machine.The names of the eight venues are written on the back of the drawing machine, and there is a metering bar below each name.

The abyss is the seventh.

Zheng Zhuo remembered it in his heart.

At this moment, there was a noise from the audience.

"Hey, look..."

"It's the chief."

"What chief, is the former chief."

"She really competed alone."

Zheng Zhuo looked up, only to see that the camera was on Tao Tao.Of all the two-person contestants, she was the only one who competed solo.Once it was unveiled, it sparked a lot of discussion.

"Contestants who are ready to submit their numbers... Please students who are ready to submit their numbers..."

At this time, the horn in the field sounded.

It seems that the foreman has confirmed.The preparation of the field is completed, and the players will enter the field next.

Many players submitted their numbers the first time.Zheng Zhuo watched as the first metering bar from the left of the lottery machine was filled quickly, followed by the second metering bar.

Article [-].

The camera still stays on Tao Tao's face.She frowned, and did not adjust the weapon like other students, nor did she turn on the watch to sign up.

"What's the matter with her?"

"Put it on."

"Could it be that she couldn't take the blow and her personality became weird? I said she had a ghost in the competition..."

There was a commotion in the crowd because of Tao Tao's arrogant attitude.

But Tao Tao didn't think so.

She frowned because she was thinking about the conversation with that mysterious man the day before yesterday.

[On the day of the competition, wait for my instructions to arrive before submitting the number. 】

Why haven't the instructions arrived yet?
Seeing the players around him clicking OK one after another, Tao Tao became anxious.

But she is the former chief after all.

The stable psychological quality prevented her from acting rashly.

……

Tao Tao was very nervous.

On the other side, Zheng Zhuo was even more nervous.

Without blinking, he stared at the rapidly rising meter bar.

Article [-], Article [-], Article [-], Article [-]...

Article VII.

【Submission number】.

The message was sent out quickly, and in the next second, it was displayed as read.

There was commotion in the crowd again.

It turned out that there was a camera station that had been following Tao Tao since just now.

She submitted the number.

……

Soon, with a bell, all the players were ready.On each player's watch, a notification box popped up for the venue.

And Tao Tao...

……

【Contestant: Tao Tao】

[First match: Knockout round]

[Venue: Abyss]

……

really!

Tao Tao clenched his fist hard.

The reward given by the mysterious man is genuine!She was indeed assigned to the abyss field!

This time, she immediately regained her confidence.The feet walking towards the direction of the [Abyss Field] also became brisk.

And behind the scenes...

"It's... great..."

Zheng Zhuo almost slumped on the ground.

"The progress bar is too fast... I thought I hadn't caught up... It scared me to death..."

If they were assigned to the eighth game [Ocean], it would be over.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the screen.

"【First match: Knockout round】"

"[Countdown]"

The serious faces of the contestants were shown on the screen.

"【Fives】"

"【Four】"

"【three】"

"【two】"

"【one】"

"【Set off!】"

The broadcast announced loudly, and at the same time, the bottom of the floating platform disappeared.

All the students fell from the sky to their respective areas according to their positions.

……

So nostalgic.

Tao Tao watched all this from the air.She has jumped into the field many times like this, and then, to win No.1.

But this time, everything about her has changed, but what she has to do will not change.

Countless players prepared their landing measures in the air.Flame, ice and lightning exploded in the air.

And Tao Tao kept falling.

until the ground is within sight.

"【call】."

A black magic light lights up in the [summon strength increase] field.

The obsidian rock wall was knocked out of huge potholes, and the flowing and surging magma was extinguished by trampling hard.

Roar! ! !
The earth-shattering roar resounded through the eight venues—even all the way to the audience area at the school gate.

"Monster!?"

The auditorium and the backstage of the janitors were all in chaos.

"No, how could there be..."

"Wait, this energy state... looks like a summoned object..."

"Summon? Are you kidding me!?"

Oops.

Zheng Zhuo turned his head and looked around.

Students and professors rioting, that's all...

The janitors also rioted in the backstage.Zheng Zhuo was a little worried that they would temporarily change the values, or suspend the game for technical reasons.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the foreman, who was watching the screen closely.

I have to send a message to Tao Tao to tell her to calm down...at least behave like a normal summoned creature.

In this way, the possibility of continuing to advance after being judged harmless is relatively high.

Or, just make a fuss?
Destroy the enemy, pass the first game as quickly as possible, and decide the result, making it difficult for the school to regret.This is also a way.

and many more.

However, Tao Tao is a battle-tested magister, and he is a newcomer.

She must be able to realize what she realized.Letting her judge the situation...maybe a better choice.

So what to do?
