1228th, the Lively Campus Begins

———.

For the student knights studying at the Knight Academy, this is indeed a very important event.

This event will not only be broadcast live and reported nationwide, but it will also determine the strong players in each university campus. If they can stand out among them and get good results, they will definitely be recognized by the country and the It is not a dream at all to pay attention to it and eventually stand out.

There are many well-known knights who started to make a name for themselves when they were students, and then entered the world stage, which is widely known.

For example, Shinguji Kurono, known as "World Clock", used to be a student in Pojun Academy. He participated in the "Seven Stars Sword Fighting Festival" competition, and competed for the championship with another famous player in the competition. position, and finally marched into 's A-level league with the other party, breaking into the third place in the world ranking.

It can be said that for a swordsman who intends to take the magic knight as his career, if he wants to stand out in the future, this "Seven Stars Sword and Martial Arts Festival" is the first important event that bears the brunt.

As long as one can get good grades in the , it will be a lot easier whether you want to participate in world-class competitions or get enshrined by the national government.

This is also the reason why Shinguji Kurono was able to promise Ikki that as long as he can win the "Seven Star Sword Fighting Festival", no matter how low his ability value is, he will be allowed to graduate.

If he can win the "Seven Stars Sword Fighting Festival" and prove that he is the best existence among all the student knights in the country, then Ikki's reputation will become known to everyone, let alone the country. Even the had to pay attention.

As for the country and the "Alliance" that strive for strong swordsmen and value them very much, an outstanding talent who can win the "Seven Stars Sword and Martial Arts Festival" will never allow him to be defeated by the black iron The family is suppressed.

Therefore, for Ikki who aspired to become a magic knight, winning the had to be achieved.

"This year's is the opportunity I have been waiting for for a long time."

Ikki quietly made up his mind.

Of course, for the rest of the students, this competition is also extremely attractive.

For example, Stella.

"Is the match for the strongest student knight in the country decided?"

Then in this game, there will inevitably be all kinds of powerful swordsmen from all over the country, right?

Stella will come to Japan to study, the biggest purpose is to pursue a strong enemy.

That being the case

"I have to participate in this game."

Stella has already made such a decision.

On the contrary, the rest of the students, after the initial excitement, suddenly turned off again.

Being able to become a well-known knight in the country and have a bright future is indeed what many people want.

But

"Only six people can become representative players"

"And the powerhouses from the other six academies will also appear."

"Will all the outstanding student knights from all over the country compete together?"

"I feel like I can't win even if I match up"

The students began to recognize the reality one by one.

Anyway, in the face of outstanding student knights from all over the country, it is only natural for ordinary students to retreat.

"Shouldn't the representative players from last year's participate?"

"After all, the only condition to participate in the is that you must be a student of the Seven Knights Academy. Many of the representative players who participated in last year's did not graduate."

"It is said that even last year's has just entered the third grade this year, and this year's is bound to appear."

"Even last year's will appear?"

"forgive me."

"I can't win."

The students all sighed.

Thanks to this, students soon raised their hands to ask questions.

"Excuse me, if you abstain from the selection battle or lose the battle, will there be any punishment?"

If you ask this question, the other party probably wants to abstain, right?

"There will be no punishment?" Oreki Yuri immediately said gently: "There will be no punishment, and it will not affect the grades. If anyone feels that they have no interest in , please pass the student The manual replied to the executive committee, indicating that it is enough not to participate in the selection battle, and they will automatically remove your name from the selection list, but once you are removed from the list, you cannot go back on your word, so please consider carefully.”

Hearing this, someone raised their hand to ask a question.

"Then if you participate in the selection competition, is there any danger?"

This is also one of the concerns of the students.

For this question, Oreki Yuri showed embarrassment.

"We can't guarantee this, because it is related to actual combat. The selection battle will take the form of allowing the inherent spiritual equipment to be used in actual combat. This is even the case for the . It aims to train students' actual combat ability, and does not require students to The inherent spiritual outfit must be unfolded in a fantasy form, the sword has no eyes, and if there is any accident, it is inevitable."

Oreki Yuri's words immediately made most of the students present give up their idea of ​​competing.

This is also impossible.

Although it is commonplace to be injured in battles, serious ones may even endanger your life. Since you plan to become a regular magic knight, you should demand yourself based on actual battles and dangers, but those present are only first-year freshmen , Not everyone is willing to take such a huge risk to hone themselves.

As long as they graduated safely, obtained the qualifications of a magic knight, and had a high-paying and stable job, that was enough for most students.

Therefore, Oreki Yuri's words made many people give up their idea of ​​taking risks.

Of course, there are people who cannot compromise no matter what.

"If you want to qualify as a representative player, how many battles do you need to win?"

The person who asked such a question and raised her hand was none other than Stella.

Seeing the world's strongest mana holder raising his hand, showing his willingness to participate in the "Seven Star Sword and Martial Arts Festival", many people looked sideways.

Oreki Yuri was also quite happy.

"In this case, it is still uncertain, because it is still unknown how many people will be willing to participate in the selection battle, and how many games all the students will have to complete the selection battle. This has not yet been counted, but it is certain What's more, as long as there is a willingness to participate, the academy will let all the students compete, and finally select the six students with the best record. Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that at least ten victories must be achieved, and there must be no more than halfway through. If there is a defeat, then there is a possibility of becoming a representative player?"

Oreki Yuri's persuasive words made Stella frown.

"More than ten games? There are so many surprises."

Stella's expression didn't look like she was worried that she couldn't do it, but felt troublesome.

In response, Oreki Yuri hastily opened his mouth.

"Don't worry, Lien Chan will not appear. Considering the time, there will be a game in about two or three days. Everyone can have enough time to prepare."

Hearing this, Stella loosened her frown.

"Is there only one game in two or three days?"

Even Ikki let out a sigh of relief, as if he was relieved for something.

"Then, that's the end of the announcement. Next, please do your best. The teacher will look forward to your excellent performance?"

Taking this sentence of Oreki Yuri as a summary, the students all whispered to each other.

Seeing this, Luo Zhen pouted.

"It seems that the new semester has just started and it will become very lively."
