Chapter 241 Deciding to Participate

"Junior, do you really have no intention of participating in the Hundred Schools Tournament?" Bei Ming Zhiyao's tone was serious.

Su Yian shook his head: "No."

"Why?"

"Let's not talk about my personal reasons. There seems to be no precedent for students below Class 2 participating in the Hundred Schools Tournament."

"Precedents can be broken, and if you participate, no one will disagree." Bei Ming Zhiyao said: "Junior, you have already proved yourself, haven't you?"

"Uh..." Su Yian couldn't think of what to say for a while. He really didn't want to participate in the Hundred Schools Tournament. For him, it was just a waste of time. It would be more meaningful to spend this time elsewhere.

Seeing Su Yian's expression, Bei Ming Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and the tone changed: "What if you don't have to play?"

"Hmm?"

Bei Ming Zhiyao said: "How about being a maintenance staff?"

After a pause, she continued: "The magic auxiliary machines used in the Hundred Schools War are uniformly distributed with the same model, and in order to cope with different competitions, students who are good at magic engineers in each school are needed to help the participating students to prepare the magic auxiliary machines to adapt to the students and the competition."

"Junior, your level in magic engineering is obvious to all. If you participate in the maintenance, it will definitely make the students perform better."

At this moment, Bei Ming Zhiyao remembered the Obsidian III with an adaptation rate of 98% that Su Yian had debugged for her during the student exchange meeting.

"And Yi Ge also said that she wanted you to help her debug the magic auxiliary machine. She was not at ease with other people debugging." Bei Ming Zhiyao looked at Su Yian.

"Yi Ge, this girl." Su Yian sighed: "You can tell me directly."

"As a younger sister, I respect my brother. Don't you have to show something?" Bei Ming Zhiyao said with a smile.

"I understand. I can participate in this Hundred Schools Tournament as a maintenance staff." Su Yian said.

"Okay." Bei Ming Zhiyao smiled, and couldn't help but clench her right hand, and said "Yeah" in her heart.

...

The Hundred Schools Tournament was not held by the cabinet, but by the Hundred Schools Alliance.

The Hundred Schools Alliance Committee is composed of major groups. These groups have various relationships with the magic family. They not only maintain the normal progress of the competition, but also help the magic family to find outstanding students.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, relevant information about the 51st Hundred Schools Tournament was disclosed.

The Huashi Group is responsible for the operation of this Hundred Schools Tournament, which means that the group provides the venue for the competition and is responsible for picking up students from various schools.

This piece of news did not attract much attention. After all, it is operated by a certain group every year, and this group must be very powerful, because ordinary groups cannot afford the high cost.

What attracted attention was that the chairman of the operation committee of this Hundred Schools Tournament was one of the great masters of the sword of the Qin Dynasty, Dongfang Xiong, who is known as the [Thunder Fire Sword]!

Born in the Dongfang family, he also has a great reputation throughout the world. After all, there are only so many sages, and they don't fight often, so the Grand Mage is in a sense the standard for measuring the peak level of a country's magicians.

Dongfang Xiong is not only of noble status, but also a Grand Master of Swordsmanship. His strength is strong enough to rank among the top in the realm of Grand Mage.

What's more, people's evaluation of him is [extremely powerful with a hint of ghost].

The reason why it is extreme is that his swordsmanship pursues the ultimate destructive power. He has the dual magic of thunder and fire, and he has brought the destructive power of these two magics to the extreme. In terms of destructive power and destructive range, there are almost no magicians of the same level who can be stronger than him!

The reason why it is ghostly is that his swordsmanship is not only the kind of straight-forward, but also reveals some changes, and even the speed he himself uses thunder magic is difficult to catch.

In the past, the operating chairman of the Hundred Schools War was also held by a strong man at the level of Grand Mage, but this year's chairman, both in terms of background and strength, far exceeds the previous ones, which is shocking.

Moreover, after he became the chairman of the operation committee, one more event was added to the original one in this Hundred Schools Tournament, which was the Deserted Island Battle.

So the events of the 51st Hundred Schools Tournament became nine, namely: Precision Shooting, Frisbee Shooting, Cross-country Competition, Magic Disassembly, Ten-minute Attack and Defense, School Flag Simulation Battle, Three-person Arena Competition, Illusion Dodge, and Deserted Island Battle.

In these five events of Precision Shooting, Frisbee Shooting, Cross-country Competition, School Flag Simulation Battle, and Illusion Dodge, in addition to the participation of second- and third-year students, there is also a clear rookie battle.

In other words, there are five events that freshmen can clearly participate in.

Although magic disassembly, ten-minute attack and defense, and three-person arena competition do not restrict freshmen from participating, these three events are directly competing for students' strength, so freshmen are generally not allowed to participate.

As for the newly added deserted island battle today, because no specific rules have been announced, the major magic academies have not yet launched plans for this.

In the Student Union meeting room, because the Hundred Schools Competition was made public, Bei Ming Zhiyao convened a meeting of the ministers and deputy ministers of each department, because except for Su Yian, all the other ministers and deputy ministers were examiners for selecting the participating students.

"Although it's a commonplace question, I still want to say it again." Bei Ming Zhiyao smiled slightly: "Among the nine events of this year's 100-school competition, five events, namely, precision shooting, frisbee shooting, cross-country competition, ten-minute attack and defense, and illusion dodge, are individual competitions. The number of students who can participate in each event is 10, including 5 seniors and 5 freshmen. Students can participate in more than two events at the same time."

"And magic disassembly, school flag simulation competition, three-person ring competition and the newly added deserted island competition are team competitions, all of which are participated by more than three students."

"In these nine competitions, the ranking is based on the final points obtained. The higher the ranking, the more points, and the better the performance of the college represented."

"Because there are hundreds of participating schools, there will be an elimination match before the start of each event to determine the top 16 colleges."

In other words, although each college has several students participating, these students can only represent one ranking, and this ranking is based on the first one to finish among the several people.

For example, in the elimination round of the cross-country race, the five participating students of Tianji Magic Academy ranked from the first to the tenth place, then Tianji Magic Academy will be ranked first, and the remaining four students' places will be cancelled and occupied by other academies.

Beiming Zhiyao glanced at everyone: "And the location selected for this Hundred Schools Battle is Zhaoyue City in Jinhai Province."

Beiming Zhiyao smiled: "This is one of the famous coastal cities in our Qin Dynasty. The most famous are the blue sky, blue sea, and golden sand beach. You can have fun after the competition."

Hearing this, everyone present smiled with ease.

"There are less than ten days before the New Year. Try to get the number of participating students in these ten days, and then everyone can go home for the New Year. Return to school on January 10 for final preparations."

It is now December 3, 2515 in the new calendar. The schools where ordinary people are studying have already been on vacation, but the magic academy is not one of them.

In addition to the reasons for the Hundred Schools Tournament, it is also because the students don't want to go home. After all, the life span of magicians is much longer than that of ordinary people. Not going home once or twice will not delay anything. Moreover, for students from poor families, the Hundred Schools Tournament is a platform to show themselves. Maybe they will be noticed by a powerful family and have a clear future from then on.

So they have to practice and exercise well in school.

The formal meeting content has ended. Vice President Liu Ziran and Qian Jieming took the members and left directly. The current student union is very incompatible with them.

"Yi Ge, when are you going home?" Leng Yingxuan asked with some curiosity. Su Yi Ge is sure to participate in the competition, and there are no classes in school now, so he can leave school at any time.

Su Yi Ge looked at Su Yi An and said, "We don't plan to go home. We are in Linnan City."

"Okay." Leng Yingxuan didn't ask any more questions. If she asked more, the brother and sister might not answer.

Su Yi An sat in his seat, still conducting research on flying magic. In a month, he was getting closer and closer to his goal.

"It's been more than a month since I became the minister. I can't understand those formulas at all..." Yuan Zhesheng, who was promoted to deputy minister, said to Song Zhenghao, who was promoted to deputy minister.

Both of them are freshmen in Class 1, Grade 1.

"It's normal that you can't understand it." Song Zhenghao shrugged his shoulders: "It's strange that we who rely on the body can understand the magic engineering."

"The minister also relies on the body, and his strength is very strong." Yuan Zhesheng said seriously.

Song Zhenghao glanced in the direction of Su Yian, looked at the densely packed things on his notebook, and sighed: "People are really incomparable."

"Success!"

Su Yian suddenly stopped writing and looked at the final formula results, feeling a little excited.

"Finally succeeded!"

Su Yian leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and memorized these things in his mind, then opened his eyes and said to Su Yige: "I'm going home first, you come back in the afternoon."

After that, regardless of the sight of everyone, he hurriedly packed up his things and left the meeting room.

When the door was closed, a piece of paper that was left behind floated to the floor.

"Su Yian, your stuff...things."

However, Su Yian had disappeared. Li Jie, the head of the Magic Engineering Department, picked up the paper on the ground helplessly, and then looked at it with some curiosity.

Su Yian has been basically in the library for more than a month. Even in the student union meeting, he has been writing something with his head down. This is no longer a secret, so Li Jie is a little curious. What is Su Yian doing?
