The first matches between different groups mostly went as everyone expected. Countries with similar strengths would be unpredictable. As for top countries, unless they were fighting each other, they mostly won. Of course, there were always some black horses in this situation. 

You could see two black horses at the top of the scoring board, which showed all the groups who got three points so far. Lisnal Country and Sonwesden Countries fought groups from Tenke and Volava country, emerging victorious in the end. 

Of course, people could guess it had a lot to do with the situation they were put in. For example, the field generated was advantageous for those two countries, or that they came up with a plan to quickly snatch the other teams' flag. Whatever it was, little did people believe they won a fair and square fight. They also wanted to have such an advantage if they fought a strong country, so of course, they didn't complain.

Eventually, Cassia announced the start of the battle of Rean's group. "Numbers 91 and 100, spatial door number one. Numbers 92 and 99, spatial door number two. Numbers..." Hedoi's group was number 93, so they wouldn't fight Rean's group so soon. Holang was 94, so it wouldn't be them either.

"Our opponent is the Vilad Country, which is number 100. Baercand, Sulkoc, Gudgruzax, Strenalgah, and Khaeseth. Those are the members of Vilad Country. Does anyone know anything about them?" Milina asked after Cassia was done announcing.

Rean and the others shook their heads in response. "Forget it. Because of how we passed the tests, they also don't know much about us, so we're in a similar situation. Let's go."

Rean's group then passed through the first spatial door, followed by the Vilad Country. Obviously, they were teleported to the right positions, right beside their flags. However, what caught everyone's attention was the environment they were placed in.

*Wow!*

Milina couldn't help but be impressed. They were all free-falling from the skies! This time, there was nothing keeping them afloat as they fell down to a nigh endless abyss. However, there wasn't a ground to fall on as far as they could see below.

"Could it be that we will keep falling forever?" Regio could not help but ask in this situation.

Rean nodded, replying, "Most likely. Look at us. Even though we have different weights, we're all falling at the same speed. Our flag just so happens to be falling at the same speed as us, and we can't move it either."

Roan looked into the distance and could see where Vilad Country was positioned. "There are our enemies. Alright, I'll protect the flag. The four of you, go there and take their flag."

"What?!" Samanta was taken aback. "Can you really protect it on your own? What if they ignore us and come all at you?" Sure enough, she still knew little to nothing about Roan's real strength.

*Swish!* Immediately, Roan took out his white scythe and snorted, telling her, "You have no need to worry about me. Instead, I hope you won't lose too quickly. Anyways, even if that happens, Rean can most likely take their flag, so it doesn't matter."

Samanta really hated how Roan acted. "Hmph!" Suddenly, a powerful torrent of Wind Element gathered around Samanta. At the same time, she took out something that looked like a fan made out of green feathers. Rean could tell with a glance that the fan was very high quality. Golden Initial-Level, at the very least. "Don't forget that my affinity is Wind Element. Let's see who'll be holding who back. Don't come crying to me later once you get beaten up." Samanta then shot forward, using her Wind Element to move through the air.

This environment was completely different from the first test. In the first test, there was no wind when they moved around. The formation kept them afloat all the time. Here, on the other hand, the wind kept blowing from all sides, not to mention the air hitting their faces due to their continuous descent.

Roan looked at Rean, who nodded back.

'Life Style, Second Form, Enhancement.' 

The only thing Rean could do was use the same method as the first test. It's just that it was a lot more limited because of the wind. However, it was then that Milina called Rean's attention. "Hey, leave the creation of stepping stones up to me. Just make sure you keep that enhancement ability of yours on Regio and me up all the time."

Rean, Roan, and Regio were surprised to hear that. It was then that they noticed something. "Oh! You're right! We'll leave it up to you, then."

Milina smiled as she began to gather Earth Element to create stepping... boulders! Milina was the first one to understand the trick of this environment. Sure, they were falling very quickly. However, everything here fell at the same speed! It meant that Rean didn't need to create small stones and kick them straight away. Better than that, Milina could create much better stepping boulders for them.

Samanta then looked behind and could see many boulders taking form around Milina. She then began to advance, creating a path of boulders for Rean and Regio to follow. It was really a very good plan. Of course, once Regio and Rean used their strength to jump to another boulder, the boulder under their feet would shoot in the opposite direction. The boulders didn't stay in the same place after being kicked.

That meant that at the same time they were making their way, the path behind disappeared.

Samanta then stopped midway. She wasn't idiotic enough to attack the entire team on the opposite side. She needed backup, and Milina proved to be very good at it.

It was then that three men from Vilad Country detached themselves from their flags' range. All of them had Wind Element Affinity! Now that Rean, Roan, and Regio had left Roan alone, they decided to aim at their flag. As quick as Milina could create boulders for Rean and Regio, it couldn't compare to the speed of Wind Element users.
