At dawn, the sky appeared somewhat chaotic, neither fully bright nor as dark as the depths of night.
As the first light of day approached, Xu Lie, Anthony, and Charles stood at the outskirts of the school. The trio from Reiner was joined by Beric and over a dozen battle-hardened mages who had gathered here. They were preparing to hide the students outside the school before the Evil Mages launched their attack, aiming to catch them off guard with a surprise ambush.
The upperclassmen had all rested adequately and, aided by the dim light of dawn and some magical assistance from their fellow mages, concealed themselves in strategic locations. Next came the Idealist Mages, each demonstrating their unique abilities.
Daphne casually tossed out objects resembling peas; any student who approached these peas would gradually shrink in size. Other mages threw seashells, and students entering them would similarly become smaller. Such methods varied widely, showing no regard for scientific principles or concepts of mass and volume—purely whimsical in nature.
There were also Enrollment Teachers like Er, who, lacking in stealth capabilities, could only summon over a dozen Shi Golems to huddle together, encircling a group of students while crouching down to mimic rocky formations.
Xu Lie and his companions had gathered primarily to prevent the Evil Mages from seeing through their plans and launching a sudden attack. However, it was somewhat awkward that the Evil Mages had yet to strike; Anthony and Reiner were collectively focused on their Mage's Seeking Board.
On the board, there were nearly a hundred flickering lights in all four cardinal directions, maintaining a distance of about five miles from the school. There was no need for further explanation; the Mage's Seeking Board was designed to locate and mark mages. The crude encirclement five miles away from Truth School clearly indicated the presence of Evil Mages.
This scene left not only the characters within the story but also the audience outside feeling a bit incredulous.
"How ridiculous! Clift probably never imagined that while he was busy with prophecies and rain spells preparing for an ambush, Truth School could see everything clearly," one viewer commented.
"Foreseeing the future is like having time vision; the Mage's Seeking Board provides spatial vision. With both time and space perspectives combined, I can't fathom how Clift could possibly win," another added.
"This is a technological landslide! Truth School has already pointed out radar technology while the Evil Mages are still trying to split their forces for an ambush—this is the difference," someone else remarked.
Amidst this chatter, Xu Lie remained focused on his goal of training the students while also wanting to observe Charles's teaching effectiveness. After all, he needed to showcase a grand spectacle of Magic War for the audience.
Anthony and Charles would follow Xu Lie's orders without generating too many independent thoughts unless instructed otherwise by him.
So, going with the flow, Xun Pan remained silent. Reiner, on the other hand, was deep in thought: most of the students had hidden away, should we make the first move?
When he mentioned making the first move, a look of eagerness spread across Reiner's face. His old friend Inquilinar and the shadowy figure beside him exchanged glances, somewhat speechless. In the past, Reiner had only engaged in long-range attacks, his range comparable to that of a bow and arrow.
Now, thanks to Xu Lie's guidance, Reiner had become fascinated with long-range strikes. As long as the enemy was far enough away, it would ignite Reiner's fighting spirit.
There was no rush. Xu Lie, citing the principle that pulling one hair could move the whole body, gently restrained Reiner for a moment and turned to ask Daphne and the other teachers: "How are we doing? Are all the students well hidden?"
Daphne was the first to respond, and the other teachers confirmed that they had assisted the students in finding good hiding spots. Inquilinar chimed in as well: "The cafeteria is ready too."
Don't get it wrong; it wasn't that the cafeteria had prepared meals. Almost all the teachers and upperclassmen had eaten breakfast well before setting out.
