"Master Father?" Lea looked at Gaste strangely, wondering why she suddenly said this: "Hasn't he organized the northern defense line in Frost Leaf City all the time? When did he come back?"

Since she came to Ostia, she and Locke have always been together for a long time, and she hasn't even spent the last New Year together. Although she is considered an adoptive father, it is impossible to say that she has no feelings for so long since she was a child. When she heard about Locke's news, Leah found that a feeling called longing was actually permeated in her heart.

"He came in a hurry after receiving an emergency message from the palace." Gasty no longer went around the corner: "Other information conveyed by the griffin knights was that the kings of the Fiot Kingdom were captured by orcs, and King Solank died in battle..."

"ah?!"

The six girls took a breath of air conditioning and looked at the "full map of Qilan Continent".

The border of the North Wind Empire on the map is like a sharp spear penetrated straight into the North Plateau. After the spear that was stabbed out, the Kingdom of Freya is like a shield guarding the left side of the spear tip, and the other side opposite to Freya... The bold black letters spelled out "Fiot Kingdom"!

"No one expected that the orcs' fierce attack on the North Wind Empire was just to restrain human forces! But their main force bypassed the powerful North Wind Empire and drove straight in like lightning, sweeping across the Fiot Kingdom before all countries reacted..." Jasti was still surprised that the orc army would use such a brilliant tactic.

"Sir, what about now? How is the Fiot Kingdom?" Lan Ya asked worriedly.

"The communication and communication are cut off, and the situation inside Fiot is not very clear. The North Wind Empire is already gathering troops to enter Fiot to fight against the orcs." Speaking of this, the worry between the principal's eyebrows became a little stronger, and he turned to Lea and said, "So after seeing Her Majesty the Queen, your father has set off overnight to return to Fiot's Collar--We Freya must not repeat Fiot's mistakes."

"In my impression, I seemed to have heard from my father that Fiot's national strength seemed to be above us..." Liya couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Gasty nodded: "You are right, so the strangest thing is that Fiot's most proud magician army seemed to have not resisted at all, so that the orc army could easily attack their hinterland."

"Then... what can we Freya do?" Lanya has been influenced by Prince Cripp since she was a child, and she also habitually stands from the perspective of the country when she thinks of the questions.

"Puff~" Unexpectedly, the question from the pink-haired little loli caused the principal to chuckle: "Okay! Look at you all worrying. There are adults here in national affairs, so you don't need to worry about them. You guys should train me well. This time our goal is to enter the quarterfinals!"

"Principal, your requirement... isn't it a bit too high?" Although I can't get into the military and national affairs, when I heard the topic turned to this competition, the principal set his own goal of participating so high. Messia, as the captain, stood up and said immediately.

"Yes, Master Principal, I... our Freya's best ranking in the past is only the top 16... That's already very... very powerful... But this moment..." Even Lulu, who has always turned her head and ran away and hugged her head and squatted to defend, expressed her concerns weakly in the corner.

"This time there are Riya, Mesia and Flotti, and you guys - our participating teams in the past did not have such a powerful configuration. Her Majesty and we analyzed that the quarterfinals are a relatively feasible goal." Jasti explained patiently: "In fact, the ranking of the 'Continental Young Magician Grand Prix' is not very important to our school, but for you, do you know what the quarterfinals represent?"

The little girls shook their heads together.

"The quarterfinals mean that you are likely to enter the sight of those colleges in Kaining, and almost all the students who graduated from the magic academy there entered the "Magic Council"." Jasti smiled and threw out a bombshell.

"No way? Go to Kaining to school? I... I never dreamed of it!"

"Demon...Magical Council?!"

"Is it the strongest magician organization in the continent? I heard that all magicians have to listen to the dispatch of the Magic Council, and their headquarters are in Flan! Master Principal, are you saying true?"

Seeing the students' enthusiasm suddenly increased, Jasti smiled slightly: "Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?"

After saying that, she took out a crystal ball and placed it on the table: "This is a projection crystal that records today's team challenge. You can see what you have in the battle. What you lack the most now is practical experience. You can ask Liya for advice in this regard. I'll leave first, and you can just ask me or any teacher in the school if you have any questions."

As usual, with a hint of lazy words echoing in his ears, the tall figure in red clothes had disappeared in front of him.

"Ah~~The quarterfinals... Although it looks very attractive, I still find it very difficult to think about it..." After the principal left, Lan Ya fell into the sofa and sighed faintly.

"Big...uh...Li...Liya, why don't you speak? I also think with our current strength, it's really a bit of a problem to enter the quarterfinals. I wonder what you think?" Messia gently touched the back of Liya's hand.

"I..." Liya turned around, her amethyst-like eyes shining: "I want to say, how can the quarterfinals be enough? The top three are our real goals!"

"Puff!" A sip of water that a certain wind-type little magician had just drank was sprayed out.

"Sister Liya, you..." Na'er stretched out her little hand and placed it on Liya's forehead with a worried look on her face.

"Ahaha, the jokes my sister told are so funny." The little princess, who was "overwhelmed" by the soft sofa, let out a dry laugh.

Fiot's fall and the seemingly difficult goals are pressing on everyone's hearts like two mountains. But now, the young lady who has always given people a steady and reliable impression does not encourage everyone, but instead makes such an unreliable request, which makes Messia somewhat angry: "Liya, you... I don't know what to say. No matter other countries, if you want to defeat the top three, you must at least defeat one of the three empires? I heard that you have also met the team of the Musha Empire. Do you think we have a chance of winning against them?"

"No." Lea shook her head and said, thinking of her experience of fighting with Penny Xis who was fully fired.

"Then are you enjoying us?" Messia was already a little angry. At this moment, she felt that what she took so seriously was regarded as a game for entertainment.

Recognizing the sudden light of fire in the eyes of the girl's fire magician, Riya did not move her gaze away. She raised her hand to hold the girl's tender shoulders, looked at the green eyes seriously, and said word by word: "It doesn't mean that you can't beat it now, nor does it mean that you can't beat it in the field! Indeed, each of them is very strong, and they will be stronger together. I and their captain were also defeated one-on-one! However, they are not impeccable! If you just want to surrender because your opponent's paper strength is stronger than us, then what else can you participate in? Just give a few cards and compare the size! Wouldn't we just lie down at home and wait for the ranking to come out?"

"You..." Mesia has participated in many competitions, but she never thought about what the meaning of the competition is - was it just to get the ideal ranking in her mind? Get the final prize?

The unique soft voice of the eldest lady in her ears had dissipated, but the deafening words kept echoing in her mind!

We weak know how weak we are. The reason why we still have to show off against the strong is not to let them step over us to get the prize, but to the only remaining hope we have - the hope of defeating the strong and stepping through the hope of the once weak ourselves, just like a touch of pure white in the east sky at dawn. As long as we never give up, the bright light will eventually spread all over the earth!

"I understand, Liya." After a long silence, Mesia's eyes gradually became firmer: "You really believe that we can enter the top three. Then, please let me believe you, please let me follow you..."
