Everyone: You're a Farmer, WTH is with the Tree Realm Descending

Chapter 25: Are You Sent by Another High School to Cause Trouble for Us?

Originally, No. 2 Middle School wanted to carefully select its allies.

But now, the situation had become extremely urgent, leaving them no time to think things through.

The principal of No. 2 Middle School quickly made a decision.

"Our allies have been chosen—Thirteen Middle School! Our ally is Thirteen Middle School!"

As soon as the principal of No. 2 Middle School finished speaking, the principal of No. 13 Middle School was stunned.

They had never intended to choose No. 2 Middle School as their ally. Although No. 2 Middle School was the strongest among the remaining teams, their team configuration conflicted with that of No. 13 Middle School.

Neither team had strong offensive power. If they were to form an alliance, the synergy of 1+1 would be far less than 2.

This issue had already been discussed between them.

But given the urgent circumstances, the principal of No. 13 Middle School couldn't afford to hesitate.

Among the schools that had yet to form an alliance, aside from No. 2 Middle School, No. 13 Middle School was the strongest.

If No. 8 Middle School failed to ally with No. 2 Middle School and instead sought an alliance with No. 13 Middle School, it would spell disaster for them.

Realizing this, the principal of No. 13 Middle School wasted no time and quickly responded.

"That's right! No. 13 Middle School has already formed an alliance with No. 2 Middle School."

"Although we sympathize with No. 8 Middle School, we are unable to help."

The principal of No. 2 Middle School immediately echoed the sentiment.

"Yes, exactly! We are powerless in this situation."

With that, No. 2 and No. 13 Middle Schools swiftly completed their alliance.

Seeing how decisive they were, the other middle schools grew anxious. Without hesitation, they immediately sprang into action.

At this point, choosing a suitable ally no longer mattered. The only goal was to avoid being the last team left unpaired.

No matter the compatibility, schools grabbed the nearest available high school and formed alliances on the spot.

Because the school left without a partner would have no choice but to ally with No. 8 Middle School.

And anyone who allied with No. 8 Middle School would likely be dragged to the bottom!

At this stage, it was no longer about strategic alliances—it was about speed.

As long as you weren't the last to pick, you were safe.

Meanwhile, at Team No. 16's Camp…

Within just ten seconds, every high school had completed their alliances.

Only Team 16 was left standing alone in front of the big screen, completely dumbfounded.

It wasn't that they didn't want to form an alliance quickly.

It was just that their principal had gone to the bathroom and hadn't returned yet—so the alliance process couldn't proceed.

At that moment, the principal of No. 16 Middle School rushed back from the restroom.

When he saw what had happened, he was completely stunned.

He had assumed there would be at least half an hour to form alliances, giving his students time to socialize with others before making a decision.

Besides, he had only gone to take a quick pee—it hadn't even been a full minute!

What could have possibly happened in such a short time?

Unfortunately, in just one minute, the alliances had already been finalized.

And to make matters worse…

The only remaining team they could ally with was No. 8 Middle School.

No. 8 Middle School's team consisted of three life professionals, and their leader was a farmer…

With such a non-combat-oriented team, could they even participate in training?

How were they supposed to fight?

And now, No. 16 Middle School had no choice but to join them.

The principal of No. 16 Middle School sighed deeply.

"What a disaster…"

---

The Training System Responds

As a result, the training system automatically registered No. 8 Middle School and No. 16 Middle School as allied teams.

Both the principal and the training team of No. 16 Middle School fell into despair.

Only then did the other high schools finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"That was close…"

"Good thing we acted fast!"

"Sixteenth Middle School is really unlucky, hahaha."

---

The Training Begins

With all alliances finalized, the joint training officially commenced.

Each team entered through the entrance and arrived at the teleportation array hall.

In the center of the hall stood a massive map of Magic City's outskirts.

A military officer stepped forward and began explaining the rules.

"The first stage is the Equipment Collection Phase."

"There are five levels of difficulty, increasing in challenge and rewarding better gear with each level."

"Each team must select a foothold in the Level 1 Area—the outermost villages."

---

Important Notice!

"The nearby Disaster Beast Colonies each have unique traits."

"The Magical Disaster Beasts are extremely powerful. Choosing the wrong area may result in instant elimination."

"You have 30 minutes to choose your foothold!"

"Begin selection now!"

---

Strategic Planning

After hearing the briefing, each school carefully analyzed the different Disaster Beast Colonies.

They considered factors such as:

Terrain

Bunkers

Team Damage Output

Enemy Weaknesses

Allied Team Strengths

The goal was to secure equipment as quickly as possible and gain an early advantage.

This was the first step in building momentum.

Xu Yan's Decision

Xu Yan carefully studied the map.

Since he had the ability to nullify magic over a large area, the best strategy would be to fight melee-based Disaster Beasts.

Melee enemies tend to cluster together, making them easy to control, and their BOSS would also be easier to take down.

But if they faced a ranged or flying BOSS, it would take far too long to defeat them.

Although Xu Yan's strategy was clear, there were too many Disaster Beast Colonies to choose from.

For now, he couldn't find a perfect location.

---

Wang Ke's Plan

At that moment, Wang Ke's eyes lit up with excitement.

She had been worried earlier, but now, she finally found an ideal location.

"I can't believe how lucky we are! There's an entire colony of Shadow Night Owls!"

"Level 5 Dark Attribute Disaster Beasts!"

"They have zero resistance to lightning attacks!"

"My Thunder Magic is perfect against them!"

"Wang Ke, let's pick the Shadow Night Owl Colony as our starting point!"

"As long as we kite them properly, we can take them down one by one and secure a huge amount of equipment!"

---

Team No. 16 Overhears

Hearing this, Team 16's leader, Zhou Min, perked up.

Zhou Min, a thin girl with thick glasses, was naturally quiet and observant.

She adjusted her glasses and studied Wang Ke's selection.

She was pleasantly surprised.

"This location is actually perfect for No. 8 Middle School!"

"Maybe… we still have a chance!"

"This is a great choice!" Zhou Min agreed.

"There's even a Dryad Colony nearby. Our team specializes in fire attacks, so we have a huge advantage against them!"

"If we secure both locations, we'll have plenty of resources. Even if we lose three teammates, we'll still be in the game!"

She smiled at Wang Ke.

For the first time, they saw hope.

---

Xu Yan Disagrees

But Xu Yan frowned.

"This is not a good place to start."

Wang Ke was stunned.

"What do you mean?! This is perfect!"

Zhou Min glared at Xu Yan.

"Xu Yan… are you sent by another high school to sabotage us?!"
