Chapter 2298

This [Academy Competition] is the first public event to gather [Divine Causes] on a large scale since the Shinto ritual began.

How many [divine causes] can you attract in this game?

, it all depends on the student’s ability.

But in short, it is very undesirable to abandon the magic guide.

The victory thus obtained is meaningless.

…

In the eyes of ordinary students, the duel between the prairie elves and the rhinoceros orcs is a correct demonstration of the new rules of dueling.

But in the eyes of students who are familiar with Shinto rituals, it is a wrong demonstration.

Mistakes can also bring inspiration.

The biggest inspiration Diana got from this was to learn to "show weakness to the enemy."

Even if he is strong enough to end the duel at the beginning, he cannot really do that.

Show the enemy that you are weak, and show the "audience" that you are weak, and then use magic to strengthen yourself, mainly to show the power of magic.

The duel victory thus obtained is the real victory.

Diana, I got it!

The Magic Duel under the new duel rules not only competes in strength, but also in acting skills!

The first stage is to become an actor.

The second stage is to become a director.

Diana secretly decided to start by becoming an actress.

…

Just like foreign colleges have selected "preliminary contestants".

St. Marian's College has also selected its "preliminaries."

According to the principle of six students from the lower grades and six students from the upper grades, the "preliminaries" will be doubled.

A total of twelve people were selected for the first to third grade groups.

Among these twelve people, most are third-year students.

But there are also sophomores like Aurora.

Dak didn't pay much attention many times, but now he knows the detailed list of these twelve people after asking.

First of all, he himself is among them.

Secondly, in the third grade there are Werther, Emma, ​​Sarah, Doron, Diana and Rose.

Although Vanessa, Klein, and Heidi also participated in the summer camp, they were not selected for the [College Competition] this time. Instead, Duolong suddenly emerged and won a pre-selection spot.

For the sake of balance, the college also selected several sophomores, namely Aurora, Vivian, Jon, Anna and Angel.

Victoria, Phoenix and Shirley Augustine were all left out.

Cecilia Doyle, Joey and two other sophomores who also attended camp also failed to make the cut.

Among them, Cecilia Doyle voluntarily gave up, giving Jon the opportunity to squeeze in.

It can only be said that the granddaughter of [The Sage of Reason] has her own considerations.

She probably knew very well that even if she barely made it into the pre-selected list, she would basically not be able to play. It would be better not to be included in the pre-selected list from the beginning, so that she could feel at ease. Watch and learn.

In the final analysis, the second grade is just running with me.

Among the five people selected for the preliminaries, even Anna and An Qi have a low probability of playing.

The most likely ones to play are Vivian and Aurora, who are extremely powerful and have magic skills above the grade level.

In the third grade, it is also difficult for Doron and Rose to play.

Of the five remaining people, except for Dak who will definitely be able to get on, Diana will definitely be able to get on, and the others are not sure.

The competition in the [College Competition] this time is extremely fierce, and even Emma and Sarah may lose.

Although the core goal of students participating in the competition is to attract [divine causes].

But from the standpoint of St. Marian College, "winning" is still the top priority.

Inaugural tournaments always have extra meaning.

St. Marian's College can be said to be the host and organizer. Naturally, it is impossible to want the championship to be taken away by other colleges.

Therefore, the lineup of the senior class is also luxurious.

Pandora and Winnie, as representatives of the sixth grade and fifth grade respectively, are also the only senior students who are sure to appear.

With four spots left, competition is fierce, even more so than in the Academy Cup.

…

After getting the list, Dak looked at it carefully and couldn't help but feel sorry for Doron.

I finally made it into the pre-selection, but I had to be squeezed out by the second-year schoolgirls. I don’t know whether I should be happy or worried.

But since the academy's goal is to win, Aurora and Vivian will definitely appear.

Aurora's level of magic was not lower than that of a third grader, and Vivian was slightly weaker. However, after training at the summer camp, the gap between the second and third graders was minimized, and she is no longer what she used to be.

Dak was quite looking forward to the day when he saw the dark elf girl confront the elves.

…

Putting aside the matters related to the [College Competition] for the time being, Dak continued the topics he had been studying for the past few days.

He was working on golem making.

Using the existing [Golden Land] magic card as a reference, start making the golden golem from [Golden Land Gravedigger].

Although the overall steps are already known, it is still an extremely difficult challenge for Dak, who has to complete the final project of [Alchemy Class] by stealing chickens.

In his mind, he has not yet successfully created the picture of [Golden King and Alchemist of the Golden Kingdom].

But in short, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time and the road must be walked step by step.

Let’s start with the most basic production of [Golden Thread Gravedigger]!

I just happened to have earned a huge amount of credits by writing the "Mathematics" textbook, now it's time to spend it hard!

…

Time flies when doing immersive research.

In the blink of an eye it's already bedtime.

After completing the half-hour practice of [Underworld Art], Dak did not forget the summoning system. He unfolded the list and made a monthly summary of [Sins] as usual.

▼

[Pride: 92→91]

[Envy: 60→55]

[Rage: 77→75]

[Laziness: 48→46]

[Greed: 92→92]

[Gluttony: 89→90]

[Bliss: 90→90]

September.

Dak still mainly draws [Greed] from [Greed], which is mainly to cooperate with the production of [Golden Golem].

In addition to [Greed], he only drew [Pride], [Bliss] and [Gluttony] once respectively.

Among them, [Pride] rose a little after drawing once.

[Bliss] and [Gluttony] are both well controlled, and [Greed] rebounds by two points after sufficient extraction.

In the coming October, he plans to slightly tilt the target of extraction towards [Gluttony].

No need to deliberately increase, just slowly extract, and when the amount is sufficient, make a [Gluttony III], and start to put the research on [Gluttony] on the right track.

As for the remaining [Laziness], [Jealousy] and [Rage], they need to wait until they have enough energy.

His subjects are already piled up, and it is not suitable to add pressure to himself at this time.

Moreover, he also has a great demand for [Greed] and [Arrogance], and needs more accumulation.

In short, everything is in order.

Dak is not a person who likes to do things according to plan, but it can only be said that "habit" is a very terrible thing.

He has unknowingly become a person who is very good at overall planning.

And after the end-of-month summary, he finally ushered in October.

…

This year's September seems to have passed particularly quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.

If you think about it carefully, this has a lot to do with the fact that he has devoted most of his time to "Mathematics".

If there is a [God of Mathematics] in this world, he should be given protection, right?

There was no accident on the last night of September.

St. Marian College successfully ushered in October.

And on the first day of October, the Royal College arrived!

Teams from several colleges arrived one after another, but none of them were as big as the Royal College.

But after all, it is the Royal College, and the strength is not enough to make up for the formation.

The only thing that surprised Dak was that one of the leaders of the Royal College this time was actually the eldest prince Charles!

To this day.

Dak certainly knows very well where Charles, Eliza and others go during the holidays.

When the [Magic Alliance] was established, he and Eliza also came to the Free City with the old king and took a few days off.

Dak originally thought that when the Free City trip ended, Charles and Eliza's time to take a walk would end.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince Charles actually won a position of labor outside the prison!

"Now that Charles is out, what about Eliza?"

When Dark was watching to greet them, he immediately scanned the team, but did not find the eldest princess Eliza. Instead, he saw Quintina North, who had just transferred to the Royal Academy for less than a month.

This was just like when he saw the fat boy Kyle Dimon in the team of the Holy Church Mystery Academy, a small Easter egg.

But in other words, the Royal Academy has fallen to the point where it needs to rely on a transfer student who has just transferred to the academy?

emmm...

Maybe Quintina is really strong.

After all, even if she is now the owner of the [God Card], Dark would not be surprised.

The gods are resurrected, the times are boiling, and nothing is impossible.

After confirming that Eliza was not there, Dark quietly retreated, and then found Ellie and ordered her to contact Ashe.

Ellie and Ashe are both first-year students of the Noble Academy, but Ashe left and returned to the capital after only one week of experience in the academy.

Dak asked the question, and Ashe looked for the answer, and soon there was a reply.

The eldest princess Eliza...

was imprisoned in the hell called the palace again.

Moreover, she had added a few more heroes' names to the list of teachers in the palace.

"It seems that the king is serious this time!"
