At the beginning of the battle, Matt, Safire, and Madeline’s side.

“That is the signal we were waiting for, let’s go.” Madeline in her shiny armor said gallantly. Her black hair was falling down on her shoulders like a waterfall. Her pink eyes were shining with battle lust. On her beautiful face was a smile. She was yearning for a satisfying battle.

Ever since she rolled into the academy, she kept her abilities hidden like many others. Her elder brother had also graduated from Beast Breeding Academy, thus she knew lots of ins and outs of the institution. She knew that if she were to get a decent rank, others would bother her without any rest, and she wouldn’t have any time to practice.

After all, getting a higher rank only allowed students to have better residences. But even then, students would be forced out if they couldn’t pay the rent with merit points. Since it was so, Madeline would instead skip all that bothersome processes and focus on training from the start. After all, any service those highest tier houses could have were also available in the city or in strongholds. She could just transport to the stronghold and return when there was a class.

In the first few months, Madeline hunted like a bloodthirsty monster. Her powers were most effective in group battles, so she would never feel swarmed even where there were tens of monsters. So whenever she went to Portal World, she returned with tens of cores and orbs, earning her hefty amount of Merit Points. After that, she rented a small house close to the academy and joined the classes.

Now, her Heart Branch techniques developed by leaps and bounds, allowing her to contend with even monstrous Alex and Miles. After all, her dual elements were most destructive in basic-tier elemental powers. Especially since she could fuse two elements and create even more devastating attacks.

“Hmm, let’s.” Matt nodded. He knew Madeline was stronger than her, and tacitly allowed her to command their little team. Although he was the scout and the team depended on him, true power still ruled.

Safire also didn’t object. Also, she was strong, she was a bit timid. She was glad that there were others taking control.

They walked out of the base pretty easily, as at this time it was empty. Although their Lares Academy joined with the other two, they were under attack, after all, so all hands were on the deck. When the trio walked out, the battle had just begun, but their side was clearly outnumbered.

At this time, the trio heard Miles’s voice in their minds, “Matt, join Cross Academy and deal with small fries. Safire, you protect the ally team from the shadows. Madeline—

—give them hell.”

“Aye, aye, sir.” Madeline grinned as she propelled herself into the air by ejecting massive amounts of fire from her hands. When she was standing in the air, she looked down at the formation of three academies and brought her hand together. Although the sudden loss of fire made her body start to fall down to the ground, she had enough time to complete her attack.

“Thunderfire Meteor Shower!”

In the next second, fireballs the size of footballs covered with destructive lightning formed in the air. At a glance, there were more than fifty of them. With a descent of her hand, all fifty meteors fell towards the students.

BOOM! KABOOM!

Upon contact, all the meteors exploded and thunderfire attacks covering tens of meters covered the students. In the next second, when the attack vanished, in the opening, there were five fewer students.

“How fierce!” Matt looked with his mouth agape.

“Focus, idiot.” A voice warned him. He turned to see Xavic shouting at him. Although he didn’t know who this guy was, he knew he wasn’t weak. The purple wings on his back were constantly flapping, and tens of lightning bolts were falling one after the other. He was looking at a person who was riding a purple leopard. The beast was galloping at the speed of sound across the battlefield. The pale guy had two pistols instead of hands.

“In the earlier attack, he destroyed the cores of meteors. Although they still exploded, they didn't cause any damage.” Xavic grimly said. “That girl over there also used Earth Elemental abilities to save others.”

Matt looked around and saw many Earth Mounds had appeared across the battlefield. Madeline’s earlier attack had been canceled by those two.

“You must be the genius who passed the Golden Sniper Level,” Xavic asked.

“What if I did?” The pale guy smirked, “You guys are going to lose, so no need to explain much.”

“You are too arrogant,” Matt shouted as he charged. The fire appeared beneath his soles as he propelled forward at a record speed. No one in the Beast Breeding Academy was mediocre. Any student who rolled in had used at least two strengthening serums. Later, in the academy, most students kept on using even more.

Matt himself had used three. His power was higher than his peers. Of course, his elemental abilities were also excellent. Although his mastery lay in scouting, he was still a peerless talent in fire elemental attacks. And since Madeleine rained literally fire, he didn’t have to use too much energy to create more. With a sweep of his hand, the fire burning on the ground gathered together. Matt brought his fist and punched the guy sitting on the leopard with great vigor.

"You are a clown!" The pale guy laughed as he kicked the beast underneath him. The leopard moved faster than Matt even with the fire supporting him. His blazing punch missed the target. At the same time, the pale guy fired several shots, all of them aiming at Matt's head.

"You idiot!" Xavic shouted as he appeared in front of Matt. He waved his arm and purple film appeared in front of them. When the bullets hit the purple film, they surprisingly fell down to the ground.

"Hmm?" The pale guy frowned as he looked at the purple film. "How interesting."
