The Hero Kicked Me Out of His Party, So I Turned Him into My Maid - Chapter 67

Fifty-four teams stood neatly in the square as instructed by the student council, while many students from other grades watched the excitement from a distance.

Ariel was in a good mood.

Because in yesterday’s written test, her average score in each subject was close to full marks, similar to Lynn and Philine.

In terms of written exams alone, Alyssa would rank among the top students in her grade.

To avoid being expelled, you still need to watch this most important team test.

Dean Gavin stood at the front and said in an aged voice:

“Students, today is the day for your team test.”

“The team test will place you in groups into an illusion created by the academy. You will then receive a crystal.”

“When a team member touches the crystal, it will follow closely in their footsteps. Your task is to transport the crystal from the starting point to the finish line altar.”

“Please note that this time is different from the past. The altar can only accommodate three crystals, which means that only three teams can win, and they will be the undisputed top three teams.”

“And remember, ‘bonds’ are the most important thing. Now, let the test begin.”

Without waiting for the students to exchange ideas, Gavin gave an order and teleported all the teams into the illusion.

After a dazzling display, Ariel’s team stood still and observed their surroundings.

This is the starting point, surrounded by a dungeon-style design.

But this is clearly not a dungeon. Ariel has been to many dungeons, and she can tell from the flow of magic that this is just a replica of a dungeon.

At this starting point, there is a “03” written on the ground, and there are two teams next to each team, each with a crystal as tall as a person.

It appears that three teams are assigned to one starting point, and there is more than one starting point.

The two teams around them saw Luna and Lise, their eyes flickered slightly, and then they couldn’t help but look at each other and gradually moved closer together.

Ariel understood that both teams were wary of Luna and Lise’s strength.

“Who will tie the crystal?”

Luna asked in a low voice.

Ariel thought for a moment and said:

“If I bind myself, will it attract other teams to attack? After all, I’m a universally acknowledged useless witch.”

Lise nodded:

“That’s right.”

So, Ariel touched the crystal with her palm, and Ariel’s image appeared on the surface of the crystal, indicating that it was now bound to Ariel.

Soon, upon discovering that it was Ariel’s bound crystal, the two teams decided to act together.

The logic is simple: this test doesn’t require a head-on confrontation. No matter how strong you are, if you can’t protect the crystal, you’ll miss the chance to win and be eliminated.

Therefore, their target is the crystal next to Ariel.

In an instant, both teams launched their attacks simultaneously, and three warriors rushed forward, one each facing Mira, Luna, and Lise.

The warriors knew that even a powerful mage, unless overwhelmingly superior in strength, would first need to consider how to avoid being approached by the warriors.

At that point, Ariel had no one to protect her.

The remaining five students from the magic academy in both teams chanted together, unleashing a dazzling array of colorful elemental spells at Ariel.

Ariel smiled.

This was exactly what I wanted; it was a perfect opportunity to test the energy storage magic crystal, as well as the astrological magic that my “father” and mother had taught me.

Ariel floated up slightly, holding “Whispers of the Stars” aloft.

Brienne suddenly appeared out of thin air beside him, radiating a dazzling light and continuously infusing the staff with magic.

In fact, the energy-storing crystal was hidden in Brienne’s hand as a disguise, which was also one of the ways the automatons could provide assistance in battle, so as not to arouse suspicion.

The mages opposite were utterly astonished. Where in ordinary magic would such immense magical power be required?

Right now, magic is being used by Ariel as if it were free, and the total amount of magic is enough for the five of them to fight continuously for an hour.

Ariel parted her lips slightly, and the ancient and solemn incantation was uttered word by word.

The mages were even more shocked. This was not the incantation they had learned in class, but something much older, symbolizing something that was about to be lost.

Alyssa sang:

“With star trails as my guide, the stars await their appointed time, they obey my command—”

“Full Domain Meteor Storm!”

Ariel pointed her staff sharply forward.

This is the power of a fifth-tier magic.

The dome of the illusion was completely covered by the night sky summoned by Ariel, and countless burning meteors fell straight down.

These meteors were not scattered, but rather a torrential downpour covering the entire area.

Flames illuminated the earth, turning the night sky into daylight; the roar was deafening; and the scorching wind scattered everything around.

Where each meteor struck, it created a ring of light, shattering the ground and leaving a dark crater.

The entire starting point was blasted apart by Ariel, leaving only the magic circle that was originally on the ground floating in the air.

The five mages, along with their team’s crystal, completely disappeared.

They were thankful that this was an illusion; otherwise, encountering Ariel’s magic in reality would have meant certain death.

Upon seeing this display of strength, the three warriors lost their will to fight, as their team’s crystal was destroyed and they were kicked out of the illusion.

“Wow, this is Ariel’s star magic, it’s amazing!”

Mira has always loved magic with such stunning visual effects. It could be said that Ariel just created and guided the celestial phenomena.

Luna was also somewhat surprised:

“Fifth-tier magic… Hahaha, Ariel, you certainly didn’t disappoint me. It seems I’ll have to put you on the research table for further study…”

Lise nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Based on Lise’s observation of Ariel, this was not Ariel’s full strength.

It’s just a large-scale cleanup; Ariel has even more powerful magic yet to be used.

The squad was the only one to start from point 3.

The faculty and leaders of the academy were also somewhat surprised when they saw this scene through the magic mirror.

They never expected that Ariel, now considered useless, would unleash a fifth-tier spell with the help of the automaton.

You should know that based on Ariel’s performance just now, she could easily hold her own against a third-year student.

Furthermore, it should be noted that among the mages who were instantly killed were also third-year students, although they were all ranked between 80th and 90th. This also shows that Alyssa’s strength is greater than that of the third-year students ranked lower.

Without a doubt, Ariel, as a dark horse, has regained their attention, just as they did when she was the genius witch Ariel when she first entered the school.
