Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic-Chapter 173 Maze Runner

After the interview, the games would begin. Maze runner would be our first event, but I wasn't exactly sure what it was.

The order for every event was the first division to the fourth for every event. That would mean all of our events would be played first.

"Now that all of you're tired of waiting let us start our first event!"

Everyone who heard that was now fully attentive. No one wanted to miss any detail for the first event.

"Let's begin our first event! Maze Runner!" f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

The organizers then summoned our first event. A giant maze made of some metal formed. Everyone who saw this was amazed by what had transpired.

"Our first event, Maze Runner, is a giant maze. All ten teams will be teleported to a random area within the maze. The first one to escape the maze wins!"

"But be careful. There are monsters and traps along the way stopping you in your tracks to escape."

"This is how the point system works!"

First: 10 Points

Second: 9 Points

Third: 8 Points

Etc...

Tenth: 1 Point

Even if I could see the maze, I couldn't tell the size. But it wouldn't be surprising if it took hours for one to escape.

"Let's go."

With the event starting, everyone in the first division would have to stand in the teleporter. The event organizers had placed a teleporter on us, and the six teleported inside the maze.

The event had already started, and we were looking at our surroundings. There were already two paths being made. We would have to pick either the right or the left.

"Serena, do you have any magic that would allow you to show us the way? Or predict the fastest route?"

Out of everyone here, Serena's magic could almost do everything. Her magic was the best for events like these.

"I have the perfect magic for that."

Serena, who had magic that would allow us to escape the fastest, had led the way. Taking the path to the left, we started running.

It wasn't long before our first obstacle stopped us. I don't know if we were unlucky but right in front of us was a third-rank monster that was a spider.

I don't know the standard of what we will be facing, but if the others fight this, they will be injured.

"Let's finish it right away. We have no time to waste."

Noel, who cast an illusion on the spider, had stopped the spider on its track. Serena, Teresa, Caren, and I launched an attack capable of hurting the monster. Maddison stayed behind because she preferred not to be in the crossfire of our attack.

Making a beam with my fingers, I pointed it at the spider's neck. Moving my finger to the side, I had fully decapitated the monster killing it.

It had only taken ten seconds to kill it, and our confidence rose, seeing how easy it was to defeat them.

With the monster killed, it had disappeared into nothingness. We proceeded to follow Serena, continuing on our path.

Serena's magic in this game was essential. Without her magic, we would have been lost a couple of times. She had confidently crossed paths that led to more than two entrances.

Traps like fall pits and slimes that attempted to slow us down were futile. We were like an unstoppable force, forcing our way out of this maze.

Suddenly, we found a team of six. I had never expected to see anyone in this maze so early.

Looking at them, I know what team they were. They are from the country of Uthua, which was said to be the worst-performing. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

They were ready to fire their magic straight at us because we were on their radar and had their guard up. Knowing that they were predicted to be the worst, an idea came to me.

"Let me talk to them. Stay back."

Going right to them, I could see that they were going to attack. One of them had shot some mercury at me. But with my defense made of plasma, the attacks were ineffective.

"Calm down. I'm here to make a deal."

Seeing that I wasn't attacking had them less wary, but their guard wasn't entirely down. Crystal stared at me, unable to comprehend what I wanted.

"What deal are you planning on making?"

Since I made the deal, Crystal, their leader, wanted to know what the deal was.

"We will help you get second place."

"And what will we do?"

"Nothing, all you need to do is get second place."

Crystal couldn't help but clench her hands. I could even see her wrinkles from that frown. To her, my words were humiliating. She couldn't accept a freebie from someone like me.

"Are you looking down on us??!"

Crystal and her team couldn't help but get angry at what I had said. Not only would it shame them, but they would have to see us as superiors if they did.

"Yes, I'm. You don't have a choice. Otherwise, we will have to drag your bodies to the exit."

"You don't have a third-rank mage. In this fight, you would lose."

Crystal, who couldn't hold back her anger, decided to attack. Her magic which was crystal ore, was being launched toward me.

Breaking the crystal ore with my bare hands, I sent a beam on crystal arms and legs, crippling her. Reaping her consciousness, I sent her body to her team.

"Carry her body, and follow us. If any of you dares take the lead on us, be prepared to lose this tournament."

Seeing what I could do, they could only nod their head. They weren't delusional to think that they could defeat us.

Ten minutes later, our team and Uthua had cleared the maze. With us, we were first, and team Uthua was second.

"Captain, why did you let them get second?"

Maddison, who had already accepted me as captain, wondered why I did that.

"It is because they are not a threat to us. So giving them second was better than anyone else getting second."
