After that, Miss Nora immediately moved to the edge of the arena.

  ~Frozen Blunt Bullets~

  Senior Nadine immediately shot Senior Alisha. But Senior Alisha easily dodged the bullet, even though it had been accelerated with enhancement magic.

  Senior Nadine fired again, but Senior Alisha managed to dodge it again.

  After Senior Nadine's shots stopped, Senior Alisha prepared to shoot Senior Nadine with her bow.

  ~Wind Magic : Wind Blown Arrow~

  Senior Alisha shot a wind arrow at Senior Nadine. After Senior Alisha released the arrow from her bow, Senior Alisha immediately used another magic.

  ~Mirage Magic : Dozens of Illusory Arrows~

  The arrow, which had initially been just one, suddenly multiplied, perhaps around 30-40. Seeing this, Senior Nadine swiftly made another bullet.

  ~Great Frozen Explosion Bullet~

  Senior Nadine loaded the bullet into her rifle and began observing the arrows heading her way. After that, senior Nadine immediately fired her rifle into the center of the many arrows aimed at her. The shot hit one of the arrows and caused a large ice explosion. The ice explosion caused the arrow it hit and the surrounding arrows to freeze, falling to the arena floor and shattering. The explosion caused the arrows to dwindle significantly.

  The remaining arrows continued to fly towards senior Nadine and began to hit her. But the arrows only passed through her body without hitting her like an illusion because objects made of ~Mirage Magic~ cannot injure her. The arrows pierced senior Nadine body one by one. Finally, one arrow remained, striking senior ?Nadine's stomach. But instead of piercing through, the arrow managed to hit senior Nadine, sending her flying until she hit the arena wall behind her.

  A crashing sound was heard and smoke began to rise. Shortly after, the smoke began to clear. senior Nadine was seen trying to stand up, one hand holding the arena wall and the other holding her stomach. There was a small amount of blood on her lips, which seemed to have just come out of her mouth.

  "What happened? I was so sure I shot the real arrow with my weapon, but why did the real arrow hit me? Did I guess the location of the real arrow wrong? Or are there actually two real arrows?", thought senior Nadine.

  "Are you still holding on, Nadine?" asked senior Alisha.

  Suddenly, senior ?Alisha held her bow again and prepared to shoot.

  ~Earth Magic: Rain of Stones Arrow~

  Senior Alisha shot an arrow upward, and then a large number of them began to descend.

  "This time it wasn't ~Mirage Magic~? So all the arrows that fell were real. Then..." said senior Nadine.

  Senior ?Nadine crouched down and placed both hands on the arena floor.

  ~O cold ice, fill this arena with icy chunks~

  ~Ice Magic: Field of Ice Floes~

  Ice blocks began to appear in the tournament arena. Meanwhile, senior Nadine was on a dome-like ice block to protect herself from the arrows. The arrows began to fall onto the arena.

  Then, a few moments later, the hail of stone arrows ended. But the arrows had cracked the ice blocks in the arena.

  "If the hail of arrows had lasted long enough, this ice dome I was using for shelter would have been destroyed," senior Nadine said, looking up.

  The roof of the ice dome she was hiding under had a significant crack.

  "I'm sure this ice block is quite tough since it can withstand Princess Chloe's attack, but it seems it can't withstand Miss Alisha's attack. It seems I can't keep hiding from Miss Alisha's attacks. I have to strike back," said Senior Nadine as she made bullets for her rifle.

  Then Senior Nadine came out from her hiding place. Senior Nadine immediately fired her gun when she saw Senior Alisha.

  Senior Nadine fired five shots at Senior Alisha. However, Senior Alisha easily dodged all five shots, hitting the surrounding ice blocks. Upon hitting the ice blocks, the shots began to ricochet back toward Senior Alisha. Senior Alisha knew this and dodged all the shots again. The shots continued to ricochet back toward Senior Alisha, but again, Senior Alisha managed to dodge them.

  "Even though the ~Ice Reflecting Bullet~ keep increasing in speed with each ricochet, Miss Alisha can continue to dodge all five of them at once. She's truly amazing," said Senior Nadine.

  Senior Nadine made several more bullets and fired them at Senior Alisha.

  Senior Nadine fired five more bullets. But Senior Alisha once again managed to dodge all five. The five bullets hit the ice chunks and bounced back to Senior Alisha. This time, there were 10 Ice Reflecting Bullets that continued to ricochet, attempting to hit Senior Alisha.

  Despite having to dodge 10 bullets at once, Senior Alisha remained calm and unpanicked. However, shortly afterward, because the ricocheting bullets were so fast, Senior Alisha lost focus, and one of the bullets hit her thigh. However, the bullet didn't hit her thigh but instead went through Senior Alisha's thigh. Senior Nadine was shocked to see this. The other bullets, one by one, began to hit Senior Alisha, eventually penetrating the body parts they hit. Then, Senior Alisha slowly disappeared.

  "Don't tell me that Miss Alisha from earlier was an illusion created by Mirage Magic. Then, where is the real Miss Alisha?" asked Senior Nadine.

  "Right behind you," said Senior Alisha.

  Suddenly, senior ?Alisha was a few meters away from senior Nadine, holding her bow and arrow, ready to attack. Senior Nadine was surprised when she said she was behind her. She immediately turned around, but senior Alisha immediately fired her arrow.

  ~Wind Magic: Strong Wind Arrow~

  Senior Nadine didn't have time to dodge and was struck squarely by the arrow. She was sent crashing into a cracked ice block, shattering it. After hitting the ice block, senior Nadine collapsed on the arena floor, and smoke from the shattered ice covered her and her surroundings.

  The audience thought the match was over because they had seen senior Nadine lying on the ground before the smoke obscured their view. But suddenly...

  Three shots were fired from behind the smoke. The shots hit the ice block surrounding Miss Alisha. The ice block shattered into tiny fragments after being hit. The small ice shards scattered in all directions, including toward Senior Alisha. But Senior Alisha quickly dodged the small ice shards.

  While Senior Alisha was focused on dodging the small ice shards, Senior Nadine suddenly shot out from behind the smoke and directly approached Senior Alisha. Senior Nadine prepared to shoot Senior Alisha from close range with her small gun.

  Five shots were fired at Senior Alisha from close range. All five shots hit Senior Alisha. Instead of hitting her, all five shots went through Senior Alisha's body again.

  "What?!?!," said Senior Nadine in shock.

  After being hit by the shots, Senior Alisha slowly disappeared again.

  "Is this Miss Alisha also an illusion created by ~Mirage Magic~? If this Miss Alisha is also part of ~Mirage Magic~, the previous attack shouldn't have been able to hit me because her body and attack should have been an illusion created by ~Mirage Magic~. But why did that attack hit me?" thought Senior Nadine.

  Due to the previous attack, senior Nadine's injuries worsened. Blood stains even appeared on her lips, indicating that senior Alisha's previous attack had caused her to vomit a small amount of blood.

  "You seem confused, Nadine," said senior Alisha.

  Suddenly, Alisha appeared on a block of ice.

  "Miss Alisha," senior Nadine said, looking at her.

  "You must be wondering why my previous attack hit you, even though it was an illusion created by ~Mirage Magic~. Normally, the illusions I create can't be used to attack opponents, they can only be used to deceive them. But with my ~Mirage World~, the illusions I create can be used to attack opponents," senior Alisha said.

  "Mirage World?" Senior ?Nadine asked.

  "That's an area magic I created from ~Mirage Magic~. It does have the word 'World' in it, but my area magic also has a range limit. Of course, I won't reveal the exact range. As long as the opponent is within the ~Mirage World~ area, the illusion magic I created can attack them. This area magic is a little different because it doesn't affect the physical area. Well, that's all for now, let's end this match, Nadine," said senior Alisha.

  Suddenly, other senior Alisha, created from ~Mirage Magic~, appeared around senior Nadine. There were about a dozen of them, including the original senior Alisha. They all prepared to attack with bows and arrows.

  Facing this, senior Nadine appeared calm. She closed her eyes for a moment and then reopened them.

  ~San Lucia Art : Magic Martial Arts Technique~

  Senior Nadine coated both of her hands with ice magic, causing them to emit a white mist. Not only that, but the ice magic gradually spread and eventually enveloped Senior Nadine's entire body. Senior Nadine's entire body was now emitting a white mist.

  "You're right, Miss Alisha. Let's end this match quickly," said Senior Nadine.
