Chapter 221
"I've seen too much of this high-end game, and occasionally watching the newbies pecking at each other is quite unique."
"I wonder how many freshmen will join the club this year? Last year was a disaster."
"This year is obviously different. Look at the clubs over there. They are already trying to grab people!"
"If they really do exist, they always arrive half a year in advance."
"This is called seizing the opportunity! Are we really going to be able to wait until next school year to get the goods?"
"Too!"
…
After all, those who watch the fun are no better than those who do the actual work.
All societies are ready!
In order to demonstrate the superiority of its own club, every club that intends to recruit new members holds a sign full of slogans high, for fear that the potential first-year students will not see the same thing.
But among these big brands, the well-established literary club only mentioned a small brand, and it was still mentioned upside down!
"It's just a formality, don't worry about it."
There are only two members of the literary club who are responsible for recruiting new members.
One is Winnie Scarty, who was once invited by the eldest princess to dance at the Halloween ball.
The other was Emma’s dance partner at the Halloween dance—a third-grade senior Helena Tracy!
Winnie wears black-rimmed glasses, has black hair shawl, has small facial features, is quiet and wise, and is a literary girl who never leaves her book.
Helena, on the other hand, is more cheerful and stubborn, and often disputes with Emma over some literary issues.
Of course, the more noisy and familiar, the better the relationship.
The main targets of the literary club's trip are Sarah and Emma.
One from the Magic Academy and one from the Knight Academy.
The two of them happen to be responsible for one.
Helena was obviously confident, and her tone seemed to say that as soon as she opened her mouth, Emma would join the literary club even if she was against her.
Winnie was quite distressed, after all, she and Sarah didn't know each other at all.
But the president’s mission must be done!
…
The two of them came to the vicinity of venue No. 1, and happened to see the little brown-haired girl boarding the contestant stage.
"There it is!"
Helena greeted and quickened her pace.
When she arrived at venue ①, she suddenly discovered that Emma's opponent turned out to be a familiar third grader!
"Isn't that Angelia? Why did she appear in the Duel Club's recruitment competition?"
Helena looked shocked and felt bad.
Winnie, who followed closely behind, thought for a moment and then said: "Let me think about it, she seemed to have mentioned last semester that the books she wanted to read are getting more and more expensive..."
Helena slapped her thigh and complained: "Just tell me if you can't afford the books! When the club updates the library, can't we just buy them all?"
Winnie: "She doesn't like sharing a book."
Helena: "Women are pretentious!"
Winnie: "..."
Helena: "Forget it, I'm quite curious about her strength, but Emma may have to endure hardship."
Winnie: "Only when you have endured hardship can you become a master."
…
St. Marian's school uniforms are basically the same in style, with the difference being the school badge on the chest.
In addition to the different school badge patterns for each branch, the strip below the school badge will also be differentiated according to each grade.
The first grade uniform has only one star, the second grade has two stars, and so on, the third grade uniform has three stars.
So when Angelia appeared, everyone could tell at a glance that she was a third grader!
"First grade versus third grade?"
Shouts of exclamation sounded one after another.
More people gathered.
The first-year Knight Academy students couldn't help but sweat for Emma.
Emma is their card, and if they lose in the first round, it's not something they can laugh about.
Many people still hope that when Emma enters the rookie competition, they will go to the open-air duel hall outside to cheer her up.
It would be embarrassing if he accidentally lost the election.
I'm afraid that I will be suppressed and beaten by the House of Lords throughout the next semester.
So when Emma stepped onto the red team's stage, she suddenly heard the sound of cheering coming from below.
She was stunned for a moment, then felt a little shy, and the palpitations she had felt towards the third grader suddenly disappeared.
"Emma, come on!"
Patting her cheek, Emma's eyes suddenly focused.
No matter who your opponent is, just give it your all!
…
"Hey, this kid has a really good attitude."
Professor Fox at the judging table rubbed his eyes, a little surprised.
"Emma Metis can also be regarded as the disciple of the Secret Sage."
Professor Jones made no secret of his pride.
Although Emma's rapid adjustment of mentality was beyond her expectation, of course she couldn't say it.
During the first period of school, Emma's mentality should not be so stable.
What changed her?
…
Outside the venue...
Diana couldn't help but ask: "Can she win?"
"I don't know." Dak shook his head, "It depends on her opponent."
If it is a poor student like Scott, then Emma must have hope.
But if you are an top student like Senior Sister Betty, it will be a big deal!
He also didn't expect that Emma would encounter a third-year student in the first game. This was supposed to be a low-probability event.
But the current situation also gave him a wake-up call.
Maybe his opponent will be an upperclassman, too.
"If only that were the case!"
expect……
Duck raised his head slightly.
The two players on the stage were communicating with each other through the loudspeaker.
Emma greeted them politely.
Angelia only replied: "Hurry up."
Emma was choked: "Uh..."
Angelia seemed to realize that her words and actions were inappropriate, so she added: "Let's talk next time."
Emma: "Next time?"
"Beep--"
The referee blew the whistle.
The two sides finished communicating, and the game entered the countdown for preparation.
Draw a card!
...
Standing outside the court to watch the game is a completely different experience from being on the stage.
Dak was concentrating.
The huge projections of the two card tables had already been fully unfolded in front of the player's stage.
"Preparation stage" [30s]
The above words were displayed directly above the card table.
And in the upper left corner, the current magic value of the magic ball was displayed synchronously - 2000!
The life barrier of the magic ball has five levels, and the corresponding magic value of each level is 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, and 16000.
This competition uses the rules of the rookie competition, so the magic ball unfolds a second-level life barrier.
"Although the change in the rules is subtle, it has a huge impact on the game. I don't know if Emma can adapt."
Dake glanced at the card slot on the lower right side of the table.
A whole stack of magic cards was placed in the card slot, which had been "automatically shuffled".
Next...
The duelists will have 30 seconds to draw cards and think about tactics.
Watch from the perspective of the audience.
Emma's card drawing speed is faster than Angelia, but Angelia is obviously more calm.
The 30s thinking time passed in a blink of an eye.
A slight "tick" sound was heard on the table, and the words above instantly changed to: "Battle Phase" [30s]
The duel entered the first round!
Both sides began to summon magic elves without hesitation.
Emma's normal summoning technique is very proficient, and she is the best among the first-year students.
However, Angelia is obviously faster than her!
In just 3 seconds, Angelia summoned the first magic elf!
"Magic summon!"
Accompanied by a slightly indifferent voice, a book emitting a faint white light flew out of her hand.
It unfolded from the center line, and the pages on both sides were like wings, but it pounced on Emma's red magic ball like a hawk!
Its speed was astonishing!
Emma's face changed suddenly, and the summoning spell in her mouth almost changed.
The 30X20 length and width of the field is not enough in the face of the real speed.
When Emma summoned the "Golden Beast", Angelia's "Bookworm" had already pecked at the red magic ball fiercely!
[2000-1900]
But the magic value of the magic ball only dropped by 100 points!
