Chapter 188 Phoenix Star Martial Festival Opens

Time has entered August. Although it is an artificial city floating on the lake, the weather in Rikka is visibly hotter. Pedestrians walking on the road have taken off their coats and put on short sleeves.

If you look closely, almost every one of the pedestrians walking on the road looks like a country bumpkin entering the city. They are excited to follow the directions on the map to explore their surroundings. They are holding cameras and taking pictures everywhere, especially the streets near the central district. This phenomenon Very conspicuous.

The Star Warrior Festival is about to open. This is the time when Rikka relaxes its entry policy every year in order to attract tourists from all over the world. The people walking here who are obviously dressed differently from students are all tourists from all over the world who come to watch the Star Warrior Festival. .

In this world, the Star Warrior Festival is far more famous than the Olympic Games, which are just a formality.

It is said that during the broadcast of the Star Warrior Festival, there are hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. Every year, just auctioning the broadcast rights in countries around the world and on the Internet can make the consortium a lot of money, not to mention other things it brings. The by-products and benefits are valuable.

The champion of the Star Warrior Festival can enjoy the popularity of a world superstar, and he can live a lifetime of food and clothing by accepting any advertising endorsements.

The reason why Sylvia, the world's top singer, lost to the solitary poisonous witch Ophelia Landolofen and had to settle for second place on the Sixth Pantheon, a website that mainly focuses on popularity voting, is because she is Ophelia, who is the second king and dragon to dominate twice in a row in history, and is more likely to achieve an unprecedented three consecutive kings and dragons, is not inferior to Sylvia in terms of popularity around the world. In addition, she defeated the king of dragons head-on in the previous competition. This result was achieved only because of Sylvia, who advanced all the way to the finals.

"Here we are, this is the venue for the opening ceremony of the Star Warrior Festival - the Sirius Dome."

In the center of the city, a black extended limousine stopped in front of an extremely majestic and huge building, and a man and three women stepped out of the open door.

All four of them were wearing the uniforms of Seidoukan Academy, with red lotus badges on their chests. People could tell at a glance that they were students of Seidoukan Academy, and the handsome men and women in this group were so beautiful as soon as they appeared. It attracted many tourists to take pictures, and the clicking sound was endless.

Looking closely, a large number of tourists are waiting in front of this dome-shaped building. The event is unprecedented, and it is several times more lively than Sylvia's concert.

"It feels like a celebrity walking on the red carpet."

Among the four, the boy with white hair and red eyes complained.

"Actually, it's pretty much the same."

The girl with rose-colored hair responded with deep understanding.

"There are so many people..."

The silver-haired girl with childlike face and big breasts looked around tremblingly. When the camera came on, she was immediately frightened and hid behind the tallest Roy like a frightened little rabbit.

"After all, today is the opening day of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival. It's normal for there to be a large number of people, but it's okay. We have a dedicated channel for players."

The girl with blond hair and curvy face smiled gently and led the three of them to the contestants' aisle in a familiar manner.

Compared with the crowded tourist passage, it was much cooler here. There were only a few people walking around, and there was the cold air-conditioned wind coming from the venue. After being away from the crowd, Kirin Todou relaxed. tone.

Walking out of the passage, a huge arena came into view for the four of them. There were countless auditoriums made in the style of the ancient Roman arena at a glance. The entire venue was unimaginably wide. I don’t know how many people were gathered in it, and the crowd was buzzing. No joke at all.

"According to the information, this Sirius Dome is the main stage for the Star Warrior Festival and can accommodate 100,000 people to watch the game at the same time. The champion combinations favored by the operating committee will usually compete here."

As a senior who had already participated in the Star Warrior Festival once, Claudia was obviously familiar with everything and introduced the three of them with a smile.

"In other words, we are no longer the champion combination that the committee favors?"

Julis snorted lightly, with a bit of unhappiness in her tone.

Todo Kirin smiled beside him and didn't care much about it.

There are more than fifty participating teams from Seidoukan Academy this time, and 90% of the teams will not play at the Sirius Dome. The game between Julis and Todo Kirin will be held at the Procyon Dome.

In order to make it easier for students to duel, Gakushan City has set up a large number of dueling stages. The largest one is the Sirius Dome at its feet. In addition, there are three large stages and seven medium-sized stages. In addition, there are countless others. small stage.

However, only eleven large and medium-sized main stages were opened in the Star Warrior Festival, including the Sirius Dome. The Procyon Dome is one of the three large stages. Although the representatives are not as bright as the championship team, they are still favored by the committee. team.

Roy and Claudia's team competed at the Sirius Dome.

This means that the operating committee of the Star Warrior Festival is very optimistic about them and believes that they have the possibility to win the championship.

The exciting games will naturally be held in the Sirius Dome, the stage with the most visitors, and the better games will be held in the other three large stages.

Yes, this is just an arrangement made by the committee out of popularity.

"It's time to gather."

As soon as Claudia said these words, the three of them looked solemn.

Under her leadership, the four of them entered the huge stage, where more than a hundred teams from six university campuses had gathered.

Until eight o'clock, all 256 teams were gathered on the stage.

Roy's eyes penetrated the crowd and met the feather girl on the other side.

"What are you looking at?"

Beside the feather girl, a red-haired girl with twin ponytails looked over along her line of sight and met Roy's eyes.

"Nothing."

Okita Souji retracted his gaze and looked straight at the direction of the rostrum.

Stella looked at her strangely, feeling helpless.

She had become familiar with Okita Souji in the past month, but still couldn't understand her weird behavior from time to time.

On the other side, Roy pressed the headphones in his ears.

As a magician, it's easy to split your attention.

At the same time, the opening ceremony of this Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival finally officially began.

The audience seats divided into many layers around were already full, and all 100,000 seats were filled with people. From their perspective, the contestants below might be as small as sesame seeds.

On the rostrum, the speaker of the Rokka Council first spoke, a boring old routine that did not arouse any interest, and then the chairman of the Star Wars Festival Operation Committee spoke.

"——Good morning, everyone. I am glad to see you all on stage again this year. I am the chairman of the Star Wars Festival Operation Committee, Mathias Mesa."
