Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Individual Match, Team Match, and Nellie’s Problem
When Eira said that, the people around her were slightly surprised.
Was there a chance of dying?
In most people’s minds, big competitions like this usually made sure the players were safe.
So, was this Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament different from others?
Aiden stayed calm. He looked at Nellie and Gareth, and noticed they didn’t seem shocked by what Eira said.
“Probably, it’s because of the hidden family. They already knew the rules,” Aiden thought quickly.
Sure enough, Gareth said, “You’re right. The Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament is held in the Elephant Empire.”
“The competition has two parts: individual points and team ranking.”
“Each of you needs to beat as many opponents as possible to help your team get into the top ten. Only then can you move on to the team ranking match.”
“Because the team ranking match is very dangerous. You’ll have to enter the front lines between the Elephant Empire and the Abyss Demon, fight demons, and get points.”
Eira added, “This Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament will be broadcast live. You are representing the Great Shaw Empire.”
“The individual matches are safer. There will be referees to make sure no one dies.”
“But the team matches take place in the front lines. The environment is complicated, and demon soldiers can appear at any time. Even with referees, they might not be able to get there in time when something dangerous happens.”
“Also, players can attack each other. The only thing to worry about is if someone attacks another country’s player on live TV. That could cause problems, and the team that does it will lose a lot of points.”
“In short, the point of this tournament is to not interfere as much as possible, and let you experience real battle.”
Eira’s expression was serious, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes as she looked at Aiden.
She had thought this Global Reclasser Tournament would be similar to the College Testing in the Great Shaw Empire.
In that case, Aiden wouldn’t face much danger or unexpected problems.
But now, things had changed.
The divine powerhouse allowed players to fight each other. If something happened to Aiden in the front lines of the Elephant Empire, it would be a huge loss for the whole Great Shaw Empire.
Aiden was now very respected by the people of the Great Shaw Empire.
And Eira personally valued Aiden, especially after seeing how he had beaten Nellie.
Now she was unsure whether she should keep Aiden in the tournament.
Maybe it was better to let him stay in the Great Shaw Empire, where he could keep getting stronger safely?
James noticed Eira’s hesitation. He took a deep breath and walked two steps toward Aiden.
He asked, “You know the danger now. If you want to back out, you still can.”
“In my opinion, things could get even worse. For example, what if the Abyss Demon finds out about this? They might do something really dangerous to you. That’s very possible.”
At once, everyone in the room turned their eyes toward Aiden, who was still thinking.
Victor and Jade were calm. They weren’t too worried about the danger.
In this world, the biggest danger was not having enough power or strength.
The path to becoming strong was never easy.
As for Nellie, she widened her eyes and pretended not to care, quickly looking back and forth at Aiden.
If Aiden backed out, that wasn’t something she wanted to see.
This battle was a loss for her, but that doesn’t mean she’ll lose the next one.
True talent never gives up. Even if they fall down, they can stand back up quickly, keep growing, and beat all their enemies!
Of course, that takes a lot of courage and a strong personality.
“Are you scared? If you really back down now, I’d be disappointed,” Nellie thought to herself.
At that moment, Aiden said to James and Eira:
“What if I accidentally kill another player? Would that break the rules? And what would happen then?”
As soon as he said that, Eira and James both stopped for a moment.
Why did Aiden sound like he wasn’t afraid at all? In fact, he seemed excited!
Like he wasn’t worried about the dangers of the Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament, but was instead thinking about killing someone?
James looked at Aiden and thought about the popular videos online these past few days.
“Is Aiden trying to kill Miles in the tournament?”
He had seen the video too. Miles was a real jerk. He lied, spread bad information, and tried to start online attacks against people.
But it wasn’t that simple. Miles’ video suddenly went viral, causing a big reaction. Something big was probably going on behind the scenes — maybe help from the Azurecloud Empire.
The Great Shaw Empire and the Azurecloud Empire didn’t get along well. They often had conflicts.
If Aiden killed Miles, the Azurecloud Empire wouldn’t just let it go.
James thought for a moment, then answered,”After entering the team match, everyone gets a special item. If you use it, you give up your right to compete. No one can attack you anymore.”
“If someone breaks the rules, the referee will step in and take them off the battlefield for a trial.”
When Aiden heard that, his eyes lit up.
Others might think this is to protect players, but in his eyes, it was totally fine to kill Miles as long as he hadn’t used the special item and given up his chance to compete.
But from what Eira, Gareth, and James had said, it was clear that this Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament was very different.
It didn’t officially stop players from fighting each other, but it also didn’t encourage it.
Aiden had already been confident he could win the tournament. Now he knew that the final team match would require killing demons.
And he just happened to have the Ring of Bane to All Races, which increased his damage against demons.
Now, if he could get into the team match, he was 100% sure to win the championship and get a piece of the mysterious treasure map.
There were five pieces in total, and he would already have three.
Plus, he had already guessed from Nellie’s words that the Wycliffe Family might also have a piece of the treasure map.
Now, only one piece was left to find.
“I have no more questions,” Aiden said slowly.
When he said that, Victor, Jade, and Vespera didn’t hesitate at all. They said together:
“Me too.”
Jordan and Cici thought for a few seconds, but finally nodded.
The next part was simple.
Before the tournament started, they needed to get to know each other and practice together.
Jordan was a Legendary Rank Titan Shieldguard, with very high physical and magical defense, and he had a taunt ability that could briefly confuse enemies.
Cici was a Legendary Rank Nature Mage, who could deal damage and heal her team at the same time. She could also give them buffs.
Even more important, she had an Epic Rank skill called Whisper of Nature, which could remove control effects.
Vespera would be the team’s backup.
Her job was Legendary Rank Dragon King’s Holy Maiden, but her defense wasn’t as strong as Jordan’s. She didn’t have any support skills, and couldn’t replace Cici.
Plus, compared to Victor and Jade, who had Mythic Rank jobs, her strength was a bit weak.
But Vespera didn’t seem upset about it.
She thought it was already a big deal just to be with Aiden, even if she didn’t get to fight.
After all, most of the time, she had to find excuses to talk to Aiden.
Nellie also told others a bit about her. Her job, The Radiant Thornqueen, could fight from both close and long range. And in special cases, she could get a short boost in power.
When she said that, she looked directly at Aiden.
Aiden just said calmly, “You all saw my skills earlier.”
“My main attack skills are mostly area-based.”
“As for defense, I only have one, but it’s enough.”
When he said that, Nellie lowered her head a little. She had attacked the Blacklight Ward, but only made a small crack.
Aiden’s defense was really strong. It didn’t look like that of a weak magic apprentice at all.
“Faye.” At that moment, Aiden called out Faye.
A Mythic Rank Pure-blood Dragon Clan appeared, and immediately everyone’s attention turned to her.
“This is my pet, Faye. She’s good at defense and control,” Aiden introduced.
Nellie was completely shocked. She only now remembered that Aiden had a Pure-blood Dragon Clan as a pet!
“Why didn’t he call her out during the fight?” she thought. “Maybe her level is too low, and she hasn’t grown yet?”
That was the only explanation she could think of. Otherwise, was it because Aiden thought fighting her wasn’t even worth using his pet?
Nellie thought for a moment, then decided to ask.
She didn’t check Faye’s stats. Instead, she looked at Aiden and said slowly, “Faye is just a baby dragon. She probably won’t help much in our fight, right?”
