Chapter 1663
In fact, this year's duel team in the House of Fools is stronger than in previous years.
…
Lobby of the House of Lords.
The contestants of the House of Nobles, who in the impression of outsiders are all aloof male gods, are actually enjoying themselves.
On the one hand, this is due to the advantage they gained in the dungeon competition, but more importantly, it is because among the five players in this session, there is no stereotypical old-fashioned aristocrat.
Franklin Doron, who is in sixth grade, is also the type who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.
Dak was among them, communicating with them normally, and the atmosphere was excellent.
…
In such an environment, host Judy's voice came in. The cheers in the audience were suppressed by it, and the players in the lounge also looked towards the host's desk.
The Academy Cup is a fairly formal competition, opening at eight o'clock, but there will be an hour-long opening ceremony afterwards, and even Principal Arte will come on stage to speak.
Some spectators even bought tickets specifically to witness Principal Arte’s grace.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the dueling hall of St. Marian College!"
Judy opened her arms in a gesture of welcome.
She was wearing a white dress, with her long hair hanging down today and a bun on her temples. Her slightly round face looked even more elegant.
But compared to her past looks, she looks younger and more girlish.
The audience seems to be already familiar with the host, and many of them are even her fans.
In the auditorium outside the venue, located in the front row of the Royal Capital Division, everyone from the Duke's Palace had indeed arrived.
Arvette sat there, her pupils shrunken, looking at Judy on the hosting stage with a solemn look, and whispered to Claire next to her: "Is this Judy a professional host in the college? Why does it happen every time? she?"
Claire replied: "I heard he is a student."
Arvette was a little surprised: "Student? In what grade did she start hosting? Will she graduate this year?"
Claire shook her head and said, "How do I know this? Why don't you send someone to check?"
Arvette smiled and said, "I'm just asking."
Claire couldn't help rolling her eyes and said, "Don't ask people when you see them."
Arvette didn't want to pay attention to her.
Beside them, there were Viscountess Flotte, [Silver Wolf Knight] Camilla, and several maids.
Yue = Fei ∑ 〓 Qun: ¨↓八5qi≡◇六游三泀怀⑵ The eldest princess Eliza, who often comes to watch duels with Arvette, is not here.
But this does not mean that Eliza is alienated from them now, it is just that among the audience who came to watch the duel today, there is another heavyweight, and she has to accompany them.
In the Wangdu branch, in the middle of the auditorium, directly above, there is a specially set up hidden box.
The king rarely travels, and his two precious children naturally have no choice but to follow him.
The eldest prince, Charles, had prepared snacks and drinks, planning to give himself a day off to enjoy the feast of dueling after a long time, and to accumulate some more dueling experience for himself. Unexpectedly, the king who had ignored him for several months suddenly remembered that he still had a duel. With such an eldest son, this rare vacation suddenly came to nothing.
As for the eldest princess Eliza, she is not that addicted to watching battles, but she has recently picked up this long-lost craft and hired a court magician for professional guidance.
Eliza was originally an outstanding graduate of St. Marian's College, so it was not difficult to resume dueling.
In contrast, the eldest prince Charles only graduated from the Royal Academy. He was not so serious when he was in school. After that, the gap period was longer, and it was difficult to study again.
But in this day and age, learning magic techniques and becoming a duelist is the best way to go up the wind.
Neither Charles nor Eliza would abandon this path.
Taking the two of them as an example, many old nobles who heard the news also quickly asked their children with magical talents to resume dueling. Those children in the family were not informed of the reason and were all confused, but they were also confused. They are all working passively.
Since the launch of Shinto rituals, although the world has not changed much on the surface, it has actually begun to ferment secretly.
At this moment, the old king had already obtained the list of players for today's duel, and there was also a brief information on each player on his left hand side.
Charles and Eliza had the same thing at their fingertips.
It was rare for the three father and son to gather together outside the palace, but there was no hint of the warmth of father and son's filial piety.
This is not to say that Charles and Eliza are unfilial, but that the king himself has put increasing pressure on others in recent times, making them less cautious themselves.
But the king himself seemed to want to ease the embarrassment with his children. After briefly looking at the player information, he took the initiative to ask: "How about it? Do you think there is any malleable talent here?"
As soon as he asked this question, both Charles and Eliza's eyes subconsciously fell on Dark Dimon's name.
But the two of them looked at each other quickly, and then Charles said: "Noah Sharp from the Knights Academy is pretty good."
Eliza also said: "The Knights Academy has always produced talents, and I have also seen Noah Sharp's duel. There should be no one more powerful than him in St. Marian's Academy today."
The king nodded slightly with satisfaction, but said: "Noah Sharp is indeed a rare talent. But when it comes to the most potential, it is the child of the Dimon family."
Charles and Eliza then agreed: "Indeed."
…
……
[Last night, I suddenly got a blind date number, which delayed my pace of updating. I am really tired. I will try to write another chapter tonight. ]
Volume 1: Chapter 1064 Chapter 1053 Duel Competition Opening (4k)
The next day.
Saturday.
When the first ray of morning light 797554172㈧wu【萷liu】 x-on:⑹3|④4▲-栮 shone into the castle, the sound of recitation was faintly heard.
Soon after, the bustling sounds became more and more, and the whole castle became lively.
Before breakfast time, students had already walked out of the tower, carrying various props into the open-air duel hall, and set up banners and posters on the audience seats of the ring belt.
In a blink of an eye, the ring belt was very clearly divided into four areas, each of which was occupied by a branch.
Doron looked proudly at the Impmon he had drawn on the banner, and asked with his hands on his hips: "How is it, Pistan?"
Pistan glanced at the Impmon that looked more like a rabbit, and said insincerely: "Is this Dark's Eevee? It's well drawn."
Doron: "..."
Today's weather is sunny and cloudless.
The students' mood is not as calm as the weather.
Some of them are even more nervous than the contestants, and they have two thick dark circles under their eyes when they go out.
At 6:30 in the morning, the cafeteria is already full of people.
The students even get up earlier than class, sitting together in groups of three or five, discussing excitedly.
Contestants such as Dark Dimon and Witt Gold have become the topic of their mouths.
They discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each contestant and calculate the probability of winning for each branch, either excited or nervous.
The duel competition has not yet begun, but the audience's emotions are already full.
But the contestants who are about to go on stage have not gone to the cafeteria.
The "logistics team" of each branch prepared breakfast in the common room, and the five students participating in the competition ate together in the common room.
——Although there is no need for "cooperation" in the duel competition, students always like to gather together when doing such collective activities.
Dak did not stand out.
After getting up early, he put all the magic elves back into the magic card, filled them with magic one by one, and put them into the card bag after careful inspection.
Everything was ready, Dak put on the schoolbag that had been prepared long ago and came to the common room on the first floor.
A total of five contestants from grades two to six sat around a table, eating and exchanging information.
After the meal, senior Edwin Clarissa stood up to host the meal. The five people said "Come on" to each other, gathered their momentum, left the tower together, and walked towards the open-air duel hall.
Entering the open-air duel hall from the contestant channel, under the guidance of the staff, the group soon came to the contestant lounge marked with [Noble House].
At this time, the circular belt was already crowded with people.
In the second-year area of the Noble Academy, Diana and Rose grabbed the front row seats, each holding a little chicken, and the little chicken held a cheering sign in its hand, and the bag beside them was full of snacks.
The girls around them couldn't help but gather around, staring at the little bird and the toy chicken with evil eyes, making the two little cuties look particularly restrained.
The boys had already started to glare at the students of the Knight Academy next door, and their anger gradually accumulated, wishing to settle all the new and old grudges together.
There was only half an hour left until eight o'clock, but the atmosphere in the entire duel hall had already risen.
Not only did the students have already carried the cheering flag.
Even the professors were glaring at each other.
The deans of the four branches, surrounded by students, stared at each other from a distance.
——Even if some of them didn't think their college could win, they had to hold on under the gaze of the students.
Anyway, time passed quickly, and it was already eight o'clock in the blink of an eye.
"Duang!"
A loud bell rang from outside the duel hall.
The duel competition of this college cup finally started under the attention of the public!
In the middle of the venue, a high platform rose, and the host Judy was wearing a white dress and smiling like a flower.
Outside the venue, audiences from all over the world appeared in the form of projections as the space hub was connected.
The whole venue became more lively in an instant.
Almost at the same time, the cheers of the audience outside the venue poured into the venue like a tide.
The four branches of St. Marian College have obvious characteristics, and even audiences who have nothing to do with the college can easily empathize.
The nobles who came to watch the game, unless their children were studying in other branches, would basically support the Nobles' College.
Scholars, mages, and audiences in related industries are more willing to support the Magic Academy.
As for the warriors and the audience who have a special liking for muscles, they will support the Knights' College.
The Fools' College represents the common people and has the largest audience.
Of course, there are also many audiences who simply support the players. They will have a tendency towards each college because of the players they support.
For example, there are a lot of audiences who support [Silver Dragon Girl] and [Night Baron].
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, their supporters shouted their names in unison, almost dividing the venue into two areas.
Although the supporters of the other contestants were also cheering, they were not as good as their years of accumulation.
At this time, in the contestant lounge of the [Knight Academy].
[Night Baron] Noah Sharp was leaning against the bed, squinting at the direction of the audience.
He enjoyed the deafening cheers very much.
Unfortunately, there was not much time left in St. Marian College, and cheers like this would probably be hard to hear in the future.
However, the title of [Night Baron] should indeed be abandoned.
After graduating from St. Marian College, he would accept the king's reward, become a viscount, and join the Dragon Claw Knights.
Then, as a member of the Dragon Claw Knights, he would participate in the Heroes Conference held by the king and successfully become one of the twelve heroes.
This was the rise route that the king had planned for him after he accepted the king's recruitment.
At that time, he would step onto the world stage with a new identity... I hope he can be loved by the people.
Noah Sharp's eyes were looking at the future.
Behind him.
Witt Gold was under great pressure, looking down at the [Holy Sword Spell] in his hand.
Today, he has already refined the third [Holy Sword Spell], which is his trump card in this duel.
According to the advice of the seniors, if it is normal, he has these three [Holy Sword Spells], and he basically wins half of the time, and even has a high chance of winning when challenging the third and fourth graders.
But this year's College Cup is really abnormal, and the seniors are also under great pressure, not to mention him.
