Chapter 1021 Before the Competition

After confirming that Naruse Mio was determined to join the Tribunal, Duanmuhuai handed her all the "biographies" written by Mary. After all, it contains all the Tribunal operations that Mary participated in. After reading it, Naruse Mio should understand the responsibilities and action plans of the Tribunal.

Rias seemed to be very interested in this, so Duanmuhuai also gave her a set.

Regarding the issue of Naruse Mio's life experience, this is considered to be an end. Duanmu Huai doesn't care how Sergekes handles it. Anyway, if anyone dares to trouble Naruse Mio again, the Inquisition will kill them without mercy...

And his other work is also going smoothly.

"——————!"

As the last tune ended, the entire music classroom fell into silence. Taki raised his head, looked at the people in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Good, that's it."

"call-----!"

Hearing Teacher Taki's approval, the students below all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Remember this rhythm, and you must do it to this level in the competition... Teacher Duanmu, do you have anything to say?"

"I?"

Duanmu Huai, who was standing in the corner of the music classroom, was stunned for a moment when he saw everyone looking at him.

"I...have nothing to say. Well, you guys are finally out of tune, and my ears don't have to be hurt anymore. This is a good thing."

"Hahaha………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the members of the wind band club also laughed in a low voice. Just as Duanmu Huai said, it is not only painful for Duanmu Huai to be out of tune all the time, but also for them. Being able to regain their rhythm now, and in the presence of Duanmu Huai, gave these members of the wind band club a feeling of fighting their way out of a hail of bullets and escaping.

For example, when Duanmu Huai first arrived, the members of the Wind Band Club were like new recruits on the battlefield. They were so frightened that they peed their pants when they heard the sound of gunfire. But after such a long period of "tempering", they have lost their original youthfulness and become veterans who will not change their color even if the mountain collapses.

"Then, the next step is a very important thing."

At this moment, Taki spoke again, and upon hearing his voice, everyone hurriedly turned their heads and looked at him again. Then Taki glanced at everyone in the classroom and then spoke.

"There are a total of eighty-two members in this year's Wind Band Club, ten of whom are beginners, so only the remaining seventy-two members can actually participate in the competition. However, Division A only allows a maximum of fifty-five people to participate. , therefore, I decided to conduct the selection two days before the final exam.”

"………………"

After hearing Taki's words, the atmosphere in the music classroom, which was originally relatively relaxed, suddenly became tense again.

"Taki-sensei!"

At this moment, a third-year student stood up and protested to Taki.

"We used to decide the members in order of age. Considering the order of seniority, wouldn't it be natural for the experienced first-year students to go to Department B?"

"But that's unfair."

Faced with the protests from the third-year students, Taki's smile did not change at all.

"There are also first-year members who have worked hard and are capable. I don't think it's appropriate to decide who will compete based on age alone."

"But that's what we decided all along!"

"But I am the consultant now, so why should we use the past methods?"

As he spoke, Long looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Teacher Duanmu, what do you think?"

"………………"

Hearing Long's words, everyone looked at Duanmu Huai again. Even the protesting third-year student turned his head and stared at him uneasily. Under the gaze of everyone, Duanmu Huai just snorted.

"Indeed, considering that the third-year students are about to graduate, it is also a good choice to make good memories before they graduate."

"So……………"

Perhaps because they didn't expect Duanmuhuai to agree with their opinions, several third-year students showed expressions of surprise and excitement. However, immediately after, Duanmuhuai changed the subject.

"But, that is only when everyone is happily playing musical games together. Isn't your goal the national competition? Then everything must make way for the national competition. Yes, results are everything! Those who have the ability will enter, if there is no Only with strong talents can we participate in the national competition!”

Having said this, Duanmuhuai stared at them coldly.

"What? Do you think you can participate in the national competition and win the championship by shouting a few slogans such as friendship bonds dreams? Is this a competition for who can shout the loudest slogan? The wind band club has not had any outstanding results before. Isn’t it caused by your stupid behavior of ranking based on age?”

"………………!"

The surging anger broke out from Duanmu Huai again, which also made the members of the Wind Band Club all turn pale - but they had to admit that although Duanmu Huai spoke very shamelessly, this was indeed the truth.

"If you don't want to, just try your best not to be eliminated. I don't understand music, but the same is true for sports. I have no reason to prevent students who run fast from participating in the competition, and send those slow turtles to the track. If you run slowly, then no matter how much you dream, no matter how hard you want to work, no matter how much you shout slogans, you just can't run faster than others, so all this is meaningless. Competitive competitions don't believe in tears, let alone dreams, but only in strength! Everyone has various reasons to participate in the competition, but there can only be one champion, and this has nothing to do with dreams and hopes, it is completely a victory or defeat of strength!"

At this point, Duanmu Huai put his hands on his waist and looked at the members of the wind band club again coldly.

"That's my opinion. Any other questions?"

"……………………"

Even if there are problems at this moment, there must be no problems!

"Then, it's decided."

Taki clapped his hands again, drawing everyone's attention back.

"I will hand out the music scores now. Please go back and practice. Both the designated and optional songs will be assessed. The soloists will also be selected by selection. Please be prepared."

After that, Duanmu Huai and Long left separately, while the others had different expressions. After all, Duanmu Huai's aura when he was angry was so terrifying that they almost broke their habit after finally getting used to it.

The third-year students left first, followed by the second-year students, and the first-year students stayed behind to restore the music classroom to its original state.

"To be honest, I almost fainted when Teacher Duanmu got angry."

Kato Hazuki whispered while moving tables and chairs.

"It feels like a tiger roaring in front of you, and there is no railing between us..."

"Yes, yes..."

The others also nodded, but soon, everyone focused on another problem.

"What do you think about the selection of soloists?"

"There is no doubt that the violinist will definitely be Mary, but the competition for the trumpet is more intense."

As they spoke, they cast their eyes on another girl who was quietly moving the desk.

It is not unreasonable for everyone to say so, because in the competition before the national competition, the large-scale orchestra must play two pieces of designated repertoire and self-selected repertoire. The designated repertoire is a group of songs designated by the competition organizing committee, and then the orchestra chooses one of them to play, and the self-selected repertoire is the song selected by the orchestra itself.

According to Taki, with the current situation of the wind band club, it is difficult to beat other famous schools in the designated repertoire anyway, so they can only make a fuss about the self-selected repertoire.

So the self-selected repertoire selected by Taki is "Emmanuelle" composed by French composer Michel Colombier. The special thing about this song is that it is basically a duet between violin and trumpet, and the others are completely in the background. But on the other hand, this is very demanding for violinists and trumpeters.

It is precisely because of Mary's joining that Long chose this piece of music.

Of course, Duanmu Huai does not understand music, but after listening to Long's thoughts on choosing this piece of music, his feeling is basically that two gods bring a bunch of pits.

To put it bluntly, if these two great gods can take off the rhythm, then this song will be the killer move of the wind band club. Even a group of rookies can follow and kill into the opponent's fountain.

But on the other hand, if the two people can't carry it, it will collapse across the board and be completely finished. It's more convenient to just vote 20 times.

It's risky, but after all, the strength of this wind band club is like this. If you don't take a different approach and want to win, it's basically wishful thinking.

No one has any opinion on Mary's violin strength. The so-called expert can tell whether it's good or not at the first try. Duanmu Huai can't tell. The only feeling is whether it sounds good or not. But they, the wind band club, know that the other party is not at the same level as themselves at the first listen. Not to mention that Mary is the only violinist, so it's impossible for her to be eliminated.

On the other hand, it was the trumpet side…

Kumiko Huangqian looked at the black-haired girl not far away with some uneasiness. That was her friend, Reina Kosaka, who was also one of the trumpet players.

Even Duanmu Huai understood, so they naturally understood that whether they could break through the siege and enter the national competition this time depended on the solo of the first violinist and the trumpet. Mary's strength was reassuring, and she herself had no problems.

But on the trumpet side…Frankly speaking, there were very few people who could keep up with Mary's rhythm.

To be honest, this was actually a very rare thing, because generally speaking, although the violin was faster in rhythm than the wind instruments that needed to breathe, in terms of volume, the wind instruments were actually the loudest.

If the violin and the trumpet sounded at the same time, it must be that the trumpet suppressed the sound of the violin.

However, the sound of Mary's violin was very special. No matter how loud the sound of the wind instruments was, her violin sound could be transmitted without any hindrance and clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

On the one hand, Mary's skills are great, but more importantly, Mary's violin is not an ordinary instrument.

That's right, Mary's violin is the instrument of a bard from the world of Faerun.

You know, in the world of Faerun, bards don't just tell stories and sing in taverns. They also participate in battles and play music to buff their companions in battle.

As you can imagine, the battle will definitely not be as quiet as a concert venue. The roar of the warriors, the explosion of fireballs, and all kinds of sound, color and light effects. If you want to play music in this state and make it audible, ordinary instruments will definitely not work.

What Mary got was such a violin. Legend has it that this was once the instrument of a harpist. Its characteristic is that it can play clear sounds under any circumstances - yes, even in the silence spell or the roar of the dragon.

After all, for bards, music is their weapon.

The only pity is that Mary's golden eyes are equal to the constant true knowledge spell, which completely prohibits her from using illusions. Otherwise, Mary alone is enough to replace an entire brass band.

Of course, other people didn't know about this, but they just thought that Mary's violin was special. There was nothing strange about it. Many people would use their own instruments, which were more convenient and some were indeed better than those of the wind band club. The instrument is the player's weapon. There is no reason to complain that the opponent's weapon is better than yours when you go to the battlefield.

Kumiko recognized Reina Kosaka's strength.

But Reina Kosaka was a freshman after all, and there were several third-year seniors in the trumpet group...

Was she really okay?
