Facts have proved that the rules of many competitions need to be gradually improved in the process of practice. As the countdown shouted by the agents ended, Inissa shouted "Start". The showdown officially begins. Based on what Wayne has learned so far, Lina's extraordinary ability to temporarily give objects the illusion of life is quite useful in narrow spaces or when facing enemies walking at medium or close range. It is not very useful or long-range in open terrain or against enemies on horseback. As one of Lina's "personal belongings", the big spider Peter is still a rather troublesome thing. Wayne himself has seen it several times, and it can knock a person down with just one bite. However, Wayne has an advantage under the current rules. As long as he can touch Lina and leave marks on her body with white lime, he will "score". So as soon as the duel started, Wayne put all his strength into rushing towards Lina. As expected, Lina was also on guard against Wayne getting close to her. She threw Peter towards her, then took out some not-so-big balls of yarn. She threw two of them on the path in front of Wayne, letting them "explode" on the open space, then twisted a few of them between her fingers, and stood at the edge of the inner field waiting for the opportunity.

After all, it's just a "discussion", so everyone will be careful when they do something. For example, the "ball of yarn" in Lina's hand, Wayne has seen a version made of thin steel wire with barbs. If that thing gets into the body, it may not just be a "skin injury" - those small balls are not "one whole strand", but "many strands" wrapped together. Wayne dodged the movement on the ground and found Peter's flying trajectory in mid-air, intending to slap it away. It turned out that Peter was also a sly guy. He used his legs to push Wayne's palm as a leverage point and changed his direction in the air. Although he failed to climb up, he was not knocked away either. Wayne ignored it, jumped over the area with the abnormal lines in his field of vision, quickened his pace and continued to rush towards Lina, trying to make a quick decision. Lina made two balls of yarn "explode" in front of her, and then her hands seemed to be empty, but she pulled them suddenly. Wayne then felt a light little thing falling behind him and then quickly crawling towards his neck. Fuck, spider silk. Wayne tried to push Peter away with his backhand, but Peter took advantage of the situation to jump on Wayne's body and stabbed Wayne's hand twice with his legs. The five-yard square inner court was not that wide. As Lina did not seem to be planning to hide in the outer court, Wayne was only a "jump" away from Lina. However, there were a few strands of wool in front of them that were like cobras, with their heads raised, showing a strong aggressiveness, as if Wayne would be entangled if he continued to get closer. As for the back... Wayne suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck. He touched it with his hand and found that the "venom" was overflowing. Peter, are you really going to bite?! Lina snapped her fingers over there, "Game over." Wayne was about to faint, but then he felt... eh? He didn't feel anything? So he pretended to be dizzy at first, then took advantage of Lina's carelessness, took two steps to run, made a big jump, and pounced on Lina. Humph, game over. Lina clasped her hands together reflexively, and while Wayne was still flopping in the air, he sensed the rapid rise of his spiritual intuition warning. It was as if the liquid column in the thermometer rushed up rapidly, then broke through the upper limit of the indication and "poofed" into a fountain.

So fierce?! Wayne suddenly felt like he was jumping into a pit of fire. Fortunately, Lina stopped at some point, and the alarm of her spiritual intuition stopped. The two of them were thrown around by inertia and fell into the bushes next to them. Finally, Lina patted the lime powder under her collarbone and picked the dead leaves and grass clippings in her hair, while Wayne covered the red marks on his face. Climbed out from the bushes. Inissa stopped the slight smile on her face and made a fair judgment: "In terms of comprehensive close combat abilities, Lina still has the advantage in this match. Let's only comment on the abilities that have been fully utilized. If they go out to the field to fight, Lina should have a chance to entangle Wayne. "But according to the rules, Lina was knocked to the ground for more than 15 seconds, so she was declared the loser in this round." Wayne's victory was neither fair nor just, but he could only continue to explain to the agents: "That's basically the situation. The one with better ability doesn't necessarily win, but we will also consider everyone's on-the-spot performance and give them an impression score. The win-loss score is just one of the factors. "Of course, this is only the mode for internal assessments. When encountering enemy attacks, we still encourage everyone to use 'dirty tactics'. … Perhaps it is because there is indeed a lack of entertainment in this era, or it may be that bounty hunters have a habit of determining each other's ecological niches. The agents became quite interested in this and soon developed more fancy ways of playing based on the basics. For example, after nightfall, only large torches were hung at the four corners of the outer field in the "night battle mode". As well as the "2V2" and "3V3" group fighting modes - due to the limited venue area, 5V5 ultimately failed. So the next day, Wayne saw that several agents had bruises on their faces, and their relationship with each other seemed to be better for some reason. There are also people who make appointments to play a game in their spare time. By the way, Doug’s situation doesn’t seem to be very good. One-sided appointments to confront him have already started to require queuing. I guess when he returns to the detective agency, he will be busy for a while whether he accepts it or not. Inissa and Lina recorded the extraordinary abilities they observed and then gave a preliminary evaluation. Peter was flicked by Lina's fingertips from time to time. Lina suspected that he was deliberately letting the water go, otherwise why didn't Wayne fall down at that time? Peter also seemed a little confused about this, and occasionally stared at Wayne, as if he was considering increasing the dosage next time. Wayne drank the holy water to persuade Peter, saying that he usually drank holy water as water, so it was not surprising that his body had some drug resistance. Willy currently does not have much of an advantage in this kind of sport - even Ryan can use "implanted images" to mislead his opponent on the spot, and Willy's "punch in the back" does not have much power or deterrence. So in addition to completing the extra homework assigned by Lina, he became fascinated with the maintenance of firearms. Whenever new barrels came in, he replaced some of the ones that were more worn out, and then went to the shooting range to test them. After a few days, apart from the daily classes, everyone in the detective agency was busy or socializing. Three days before the registration date, Miss Olivia's persuasion finally began to bear fruit. Wayne and the other two took the invitation letter from the Brook family and were invited to attend a ball at their family's manor.
