Chapter 1372
The audience outside the venue immediately started shouting in cooperation.
Dak pursed his lips and had no choice but to answer: "The [Gold Cup] has been a large-scale event covering grades two to six since its establishment. It has never differentiated between lower grades or senior grades. Participating in the [Gold Cup] All the players are on the same level, and it’s normal for anyone to stand out. I don’t think this is a special thing, so I don’t have any special feelings to share.”
After finishing this sentence, the audience outside the venue started making noises for no apparent reason, and applause and cheers suddenly broke out.
Senior Judy moved away from the microphone and said with a low smile: "This is so special."
…
…
[Good evening, Piao Piao... Wu...]
Chapter 872 Don’t choose Dark Dimon? He is a second grader! 4k
"How arrogant!"
Mixed in with the applause was Evan Pearson's low voice.
Edwin Clarissa, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but smile with interest.
From the moment Evan Pearson asks him for information about Darhk, he realizes...the fun is about to begin!
As the son of the Valkyrie, Dak Dimon is the only Holy Son chosen by the Holy Religion in more than ten years. If these two people face each other, I think the duel between the Holy Son and the Brave Son will be more complicated than what I have heard before. Wonderful.
Of course, Edwin Clarissa has no intention of looking down on the Son of the Brave, but the Son of the Brave... Isn't this still a Brave?
…
On the host stage, Senior Sister Judy waited until the applause gradually stopped, and then continued: "It's not a reflection, but a reflection. I think Senior Dimon also has his own goals for this [Golden Cup]. I wonder if he can Reveal it here?”
Dak thought for a while and said, "If it's not a round trip, it counts as a win."
Senior Judy pretended to cover her mouth and smiled: "Senior Dimon is really humble. Have you never thought about winning all the way and dominating the [Golden Cup]?"
Dak said seriously: "I've really thought about this, but..."
Senior Judy asked curiously: "What is it?"
Dak smiled and said, "I just woke up accidentally."
The venue was suddenly filled with joyful laughter.
…
After the interview ended, Dak walked to the back and stood waiting with the other two contestants.
Immediately afterwards, the thirteenth contestant, the fifth-year noble house, Eluri Clarissa, was invited to the host stage.
Eluri also has a fun and humorous side in normal times, but when it comes to public places, she always has a cold expression and speaks without any mistakes or omissions, making it impossible for people to grasp anything - and of course, there is no meaning at all. .
But for people who love her, it seems that just seeing her show up and talk is already very happy.
And many people just like her appearance.
A star player like Eluri, who is already in the second half of the fifth grade, has very little time left to be active on the duel stage, and fans cherish her very much.
Therefore, the introduction and interview of Eluri Clarissa also won a round of applause.
The situation was generally the same after that. The introduction and interview sessions continued in a very lively atmosphere.
The contestants were either humble or proud, and showed themselves on the host stage without any stage fright. Sometimes they would cooperate with the host and say a few words that were very effective in the show, which attracted bursts of cheers or boos from the audience.
Of course, it is impossible to say some true innermost thoughts in this public place.
Even though Senior Judy frequently asked them whether they were "sword champions" and who they most wanted to duel with and win, no one was fooled!
The people who can enter the top sixteen of the [Gold Cup], except Dake, are all fourth grade or above, how can they take the initiative to jump on the fire?
Even if there is hostility towards a certain player due to personal feelings, it is impossible to publicize it in such an occasion.
If you say something like this in advance, and in the end not only do you fail to achieve it, but you are severely slapped in the face, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Even a seemingly reckless and impulsive person like [Dragon Slayer] Luke Betge still answered in a flawless manner.
As for Pandora Doragon, who is the favorite to win the championship, she did not say "please send the championship trophy directly to my home".
This can't help but make Judy, as the host, very disappointed.
In this rather lively atmosphere, the introduction and interview session of [Golden Cup] finally came to an end.
When the fifth grader ranked first in the Noble House also finished the interview, Senior Judy said with a smile on her face: "Then the interview session is over. If the audience wants to know more about our players, You can purchase player manuals and peripherals for each player in their respective venues. In addition, there are also player-specific easter eggs and theme cards specially provided today! Finally, a special reminder is that each player’s exclusive easter eggs and cards are available! Theme cards will be banned from sale after the day when the player is confirmed to be eliminated, so Judy is here to remind everyone to buy them as soon as possible! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, staff from each Duel branch pushed product carts into the aisles and immediately started selling them while they were hot.
For a time, sales were booming!
In the Saint Marian Duel Branch in the Royal Capital, Arvert directly purchased a cart of Dak's exclusive peripherals, while Claire smiled and bought some Pandora's exclusive peripherals.
Surprisingly, the eldest prince Charles on the other side also bought a lot of Dark Demon’s exclusive peripherals...
The booming sales business did not affect the continuation of the opening ceremony.
After Senior Judy finished reading the advertisement, she turned her hand over and turned the microphone in her hand into a magic wand. Then she raised the wand and waved it lightly, and sixteen magic ball-sized magic balls suddenly appeared in the sky. blocks.
Each of the six sides of each square is painted with the player's portrait and ranking number.
Senior Judy waved her hand again, and the sixteen blocks flew to the heads of the sixteen players and slowly rotated.
Then she changed the microphone again, raised her voice slightly and said: "Today is the first day of the [Gold Cup] main competition, and it is also the most severe day of the competition system. Today's competition adopts a single-elimination elimination system, and the sixteenth place entering the main competition will Half of the players will be eliminated. The top eight players will get the right to actively choose their opponents. This is the reward they deserve for their efforts in the [Points Competition]. Give the players five minutes to think about it first.”
The [Gold Cup] competition system continues to this day, and it is also stated on various posters and announcements. The audience is no stranger to this.
Most of the players had already considered this before today.
These five minutes of thinking time are actually shopping time for the audience...
After the five minutes were over, Senior Judy picked up the microphone again and said loudly: "The time is up, I would like to invite the contestant with the highest points in this audition, a fifth grader from the Noble House - [Thunder of Thunder] Blade] Torey Wadsworth, make your choice first!”
…
"Hey! It's finally started!"
Edwin Clarissa picked up a cup of black tea from the tray at hand and sipped it gracefully.
Evan Pearson frowned slightly and said, "Is this first place very strong?"
Edwin Clarissa said: "He should be very strong. However, he is also a rare lone ranger in our fifth grade. He did not participate in group activities in the past. I did not expect that this year he would suddenly think of participating in the Gold Cup, which is quite good." Focus. Maybe it’s because of some of the resource rewards from this Gold Cup.”
Evan Pearson nodded and said: "That's it. I wonder if he will choose Dark Dimon?"
Edwin Clarissa glanced at him, but shook her head and smiled: "The probability is not high. After all, his goal is to win, and he will definitely choose the easiest persimmon."
Evan Pearson frowned and said: "Not Dark Dimon? He is in the second grade!"
Edwin Clarissa smiled and said, "Lord Holy Son, aren't you also a second-year student?"
Evan Pearson immediately shut his mouth.
…
"It seems that our [Thunder Blade] has made a choice, let us reveal the answer!"
Senior Judy reached out and waved, and the block floating above Torey Wadsworth's head flew out first, slamming into the remaining fifteen blocks floating above the heads of the players.
The block started from the second place and passed all the way until it reached the fifteenth block before slamming on the brakes and crashing into it.
"Boom!"
The two blocks collided together and exploded into bright fireworks, and a line of projection appeared in the sky.
[Game 1: Todd Wadsworth vs. Elijah Sheridan]
Duck, who was standing next to Elijah Sheridan, seemed to be lucky and patted his chest and relaxed: "It's okay, okay."
"Almost." Alluri Clarissa blinked at him.
Duck said: "Senior Wadsworth is very secretive. If he is selected, he might really be in the first round."
Eluri Clarissa glanced to the other side and whispered: "Regana, who ranks second, is not weak either."
Duck shrugged and said, "Then I can only pray that she won't notice me."
"Haha." Alluri Clarissa chuckled and looked at Elijah Sheridan on Dark's side.
Elijah Sheridan looked quite ugly at this time.
As the fifteenth player in this [Gold Cup] points competition, he is not a dark horse like the sixteenth-place Mars Carey. Instead, he has slipped all the way from the higher ranks and can barely keep his place. ranking.
It is understandable that he is regarded as a soft persimmon by Torey Wadsworth.
But of course he himself didn't want to admit it.
Elijah Sheridan, who is also in fifth grade, still knows a little about Torey Wadsworth. If he finds a way to target the deck, he doesn't think he has any chance of winning.
After all, no one who can get here is weak, and there is no reason to be timid.
"Then let's meet Zhen Zhang on the duel field!"
He calmed down, stepped out at Judy's signal, and stood with Elijah Sheridan.
Senior Judy conducted a brief psychological interview with them, and then continued to invite Regina Milton, who was ranked second, out.
Regina Milton is also in the fifth grade, but she is a student from the [House of Fools].
In fact, the top three in this points competition are all fifth grade students, and they rarely lose in the points competition.
As for the sixth grade above the fifth grade, only [Dragon Slayer] Luke Bache and [Strider] Matthew Beerbom entered the main competition.
The rest of the strong sixth grade students were focused on their graduation projects and did not focus on the [Golden Cup].
After a brief thought, Regina Milton chose Mars Carey, who was ranked sixteenth at the bottom.
There is no problem with her choice.
Mars Carey was interviewed alongside Regina Milton after her appearance.
But in this interview, Mars Carey, who is only in his fourth year, showed his youthful and frivolous side!
He directly thanked Regina Milton for her choice and announced his victory in advance.
When he finished speaking, the whole venue was boiling because of this!
The audience always prefers to see the players' sharp side, rather than hiding the trees in the forest.
...
"Two have passed, it's time for the third one."
Dake turned his head slightly and looked over there, and just happened to see the smiling face of senior Pandora.
He suddenly trembled in his heart and realized that his chances were running out.
If the top five players did not choose him, then Pandora, who ranked sixth, would choose him 99.9999% of the time!
In his current situation, facing senior Pandora suddenly, he might really be eliminated in the first round.
Dake Dimon, after all, still has to save a little face.
What he said in the interview was not false.
There is only one goal at present, to survive the first round!
So what if he is selected as the top five?
There are only three left in the top five.
He thought quickly in his mind.
The third place is Silas Andy, a senior from the fifth grade of the Magic Academy.
Silas Andy is a student of the same grade and the same college as Pandora. Although he has always been overshadowed by Pandora's dazzling brilliance, this does not mean that he is a weak person.
With more time, he has accumulated a lot of points and successfully rushed to the third place in the [Golden Cup] points competition.
Moreover, the students of the Magic Academy are always the most difficult to deal with. If possible, Dak does not want to face him in the first round of the single-elimination match.
However, looking from top to bottom, you will find that he is already the best choice at present.
Because the next fourth place is [Dragon Slayer] Luke Becky.
The fifth place... Although he is a fourth-year student, he is the vice president of the [Astrology Club]!
[Astrology Club] is also [Astronomy Club].
Someone who can become the vice president of the [Astrology Club] in the fourth grade is definitely not an easy person.
