Chapter 1664
The only calm person in the Knight Academy at this time was probably Senior Noah Sharp.
Witt Gold turned his head to look at Senior Noah Sharp's back, and a trace of envy emerged in his heart. He wanted to be as popular as Noah Sharp since he entered the academy, and he also wanted to reach his level.
But now he is on the road to Noah Sharp - although his target is not Noah Sharp.
Just thinking about it, Witt suddenly stopped being nervous.
He was stunned for a moment, and then re-simulated the duel in his mind.
...
The lounge of the Magic Academy.
The equally popular [Silver Dragon Girl] Pandora Dragon was communicating with Winnie Skadi, and the two did not care about the cheers outside.
And the sixth-year student of the Magic Academy, Senior Debra Nellie, although not well-known outside, seems to be quite loved by the juniors.
The third-year students of the Magic Academy are asking her questions.
As for Sara Swati, she looked relaxed.
She was very confident.
…
The Fool's Lounge.
The Fool's Lounge is usually considered the most united, but now the five players are scattered in various corners of the lounge, without any communication.
The relationship between them does not seem to be good, and several of them are very withdrawn and do not communicate with others.
But the gloomy atmosphere does not mean that their strength is insufficient.
In fact, this year's Fool's Lounge is stronger than in previous years.
…
The Noble's Lounge.
The Noble's Lounge, who are all cold and handsome in the eyes of outsiders, are actually having fun.
This is partly due to the advantages they gained in the dungeon competition, but more because there are no stereotyped old-fashioned nobles among the five players this year.
Franklin Doron, a sixth-grade student, is also a ruthless and taciturn type.

…
In such an environment, the voice of the host Judy came in, and the cheers in the audience were suppressed by it. The contestants in the lounge also looked at the host platform.
The College Cup is a very formal competition. It will open at 8 o'clock, but there will be an hour-long opening ceremony afterwards, and even Principal Alt will make a speech.
Some audience members even bought tickets to enter just to see Principal Alt.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Duel Hall of St. Marian College!"
Judy opened her arms and made a welcoming gesture.
She was wearing a white dress, with long hair today, and a bun on both temples, which made her slightly round face more elegant.
However, compared with her previous dress, she looked younger and more girlish.
The audience seemed to be familiar with this host, and many of them were even her fans.
In the audience seats outside the venue, in the front row of the King's Capital Division, the people from the Duke's Mansion had indeed arrived.
Yalvette sat there, her pupils shrank slightly, looking at Judy on the podium with a little solemnity, and whispered to Claire beside her: "Is this Judy a professional host in the college? Why is it always her?"
Claire replied: "I heard she is a student."
Yalvette was a little surprised: "Student? Then what grade did she start hosting, and will she graduate this year?"
Claire shook her head and said: "How do I know? How about you send someone to check?"
Yalvette smiled and said: "I'm just asking casually."
Claire couldn't help but roll her eyes and said: "Don't ask everyone you see."
Yalvette didn't want to pay attention to her.
Beside the two of them, there were Viscountess Froti and [Silver Wolf Knight] Camilla, as well as several maids.
The eldest princess Eliza, who often came to watch the duel with Yalvette, was not here.
But this doesn't mean that Eliza is now alienated from them, but there is a heavyweight among the audience who came to watch the duel today, and she has to accompany him.
In the Royal Capital Branch, there is a hidden box just above the audience seats.
The king rarely travels, so his two beloved children can only follow him.
The eldest prince Charles had prepared snacks and drinks, and was ready to take a day off to enjoy the feast of duels after a long time, and to accumulate some duel experience for himself. Unexpectedly, the king who had ignored him for several months suddenly remembered that he still had such an eldest son, and this rare holiday was immediately ruined.
As for the eldest princess Eliza, she was not so addicted to watching the battle, but recently she also picked up this long-lost craft and invited the court magician to teach her professionally.
Eliza was originally an outstanding graduate of St. Marian College, and it was not difficult for her to pick up duels again.
In contrast, the eldest prince Charles only graduated from the Royal College. He was not so serious when he was in school, and the window period was longer afterwards, so it was difficult to learn again.
But in this era, learning magic technology and becoming a duelist is the best way to go with the wind.
Neither Charles nor Eliza will give up this path.
Taking the two of them as examples, many old nobles who heard the news hurriedly asked their children with magical talents to resume dueling. Those family children were not told the reason and were all confused, but they were also making passive efforts.
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.
Yue~→Fei/￡group:∶〕８wu⒎》§⑥六三si→【㈣耏This is not to say that Charles and Eliza are unfilial, but that the king himself has been putting more and more pressure on people in recent times. It's so big that they don't become restrained 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 stopped me from posting updates. I was really numb, so I stayed up all night to try to write another chapter. 】
Volume 1: Chapter 1063 Chapter 1054: Only by facing difficulties can one become a brave man (6k)
The situation is changing too quickly.
Although the current eldest prince and eldest princess are not united, they have some tacit understanding of cooperation because of the king's overpowering.
Instead, the Valkyrie faction gradually came to oppose the king.
Of course, this opposition does not appear on the surface.
The relationship between the two parties is more appropriately described as "competitors".
When the real gods come, the earthly kingship will indeed lose its meaning, unless there is also the protection of gods behind the kingship.
At this time, both the royal family and the Valkyrie faction are standing on the same starting point.
The so-called power level today may undergo earth-shaking changes in the future.
In addition to the Valkyrie faction, there are also many family forces in the kingdom that need to be vigilant. However, due to the information blockade, most of the forces have not yet reacted.
It is no longer possible for the king himself to make any achievements in magic duels. He can only win over talented people in advance and win them over by "granting them with favors" in the hope that they can reward them after they succeed.
Noah Sharp is such a pawn.
And it was for the same reason that the old king tried to ease the relationship with his children.
After all, his children are quite talented.
Well, if you don't compare it with the monster from the Dimon family!
The king looked at the information about Dark Dimon in his hand and couldn't help but sigh again.
Life is inherently unfair.
He has had a profound understanding of this sentence since he was a child.
Only now, his position has been reversed.
More than ten years ago, it was those proud men known as the "golden generation" who made him feel the gap between people. He finally managed to survive until the end of the war, and his remaining energy was spent on protecting his family and country. The important task was completed and completely died.
Because of this, there was a battle for the throne between Charles and Eliza.
Now looking at the little monster from the Dimon family, he seems to have returned to that period, and his emotions are hard to calm down.
But after sitting on the throne for so long, he has naturally learned to "compromise", especially with himself.
No matter how powerful the Dimon family's little monster is, it will only happen in the future, and he recruited the Twelve Heroes just for the future.
It's not him who wants to confront him head-on.
What really needs attention now is the Valkyrie group.
But fortunately, he is not completely without countermeasures.
There are many strong people loyal to the royal family in the kingdom.
"Well, Franklin Doron?"
The king suddenly noticed a name and asked casually: "Is it from the Duolong family?"
Charles frowned subconsciously, obviously not knowing.
But Eliza said clearly: "He is the youngest son of Count Chevalier Doron. He is very doting on him because he has a son when he is old."
The king suddenly said: "So it's him. Is he already in the sixth grade? How talented is he? Can he compare with Noah Sharpe?"
Eliza took a quick look at Franklin Do
According to Long's information, he shook his head and said: "He is very low-key and not famous. In fact, it is quite unexpected that he can represent the House of Nobles in this competition."
The king's heart moved and he suddenly understood: "So that's it. It seems that the Duolong family still can't bear it."
He then let out a long sigh.
Charles heard this and cursed crazily in his heart, "You have forced the Duolon family into this situation, how can they not take action?"
Of course, he would not dare to say this in front of the king.
The three of them talked about the contestant information in their hands, and gradually the atmosphere became more lively, and it was not so awkward.
"Look, Principal Alt is on stage." The king suddenly said.
The three of them looked into the venue.
...
On the host platform.
Principal Cynthia Alt suddenly appeared after a flash of light, causing the audience to cheer in unison.
But in the lounge, the contestants had no time to appreciate Principal Alt's grace.
The staff who suddenly rushed into the lounge began to groom each contestant and prepare for their subsequent appearance.
When Principal Alt finished his speech, the band came on stage to perform.
When it was almost nine o'clock and the performance was over, the host Judy came back on stage, raised the microphone and shouted: "Next, please welcome the 20 contestants of this college cup!"
The 20 contestants who had dressed up walked from behind the scenes to the front stage.
They wore the school uniforms of their respective branches, wearing the school emblems and duel badges. Everyone was energetic and showed their character - at least on the surface.
