"You don't have to worry too much, the demon is something that you will face sooner or later, and no one can hide for a lifetime. Afra's tone was flat and continued, "After he enrolls, I will be his teacher, so naturally I won't leave this alone, so you can rest assured." ”

"With the help of the teacher, I naturally don't have to worry. Hylando reluctantly showed a smile, and it could be seen that she still couldn't completely put her mind at ease.

Seeing this, Afra sighed slightly, walked in front of Cook with his hands behind his back, supported the white robe, and said lightly: "It's useless to talk about this now, you come with me first, and I will help you go through the admission procedures." ”

Cook nodded a little confused, glanced blankly at Afra who was walking out with his hands behind his back, and after a little hesitation, he followed without saying a word.

Highlander and Mulanya are not far behind.

"Mulanya, you and Cook wait here first. After walking through several rooms, Cook and his party came to the door of an office with a wooden plaque reading the principal's office, and Afra opened the door slightly, turned to Cook and Mulanya.

"Oh, oh. Mulanya nodded a little stiffly, and Cook remained silent.

Afra didn't mind Cook's silence either, turned her head, opened the door directly, and walked straight in with Highland.

As the door closed again, Cook and Mu Lanya, who were still standing outside the door, fell into an eerie silence, Cook was fine, he kept his head down silently and was pondering something, on the other hand, Mu Lanya was a little impatient, his eyes glanced at Cook from time to time, his toes kept nodding, as if he wanted to ask something, but he always couldn't open his mouth.

She had been standing and listening to the conversation between Afra and Hylando, and when she learned that Cook was a top first-order ability who had a nearly 100% fit, she was surprised that she didn't close her mouth for a long time.

Moreover, this guy has advanced once?Mu Lanya's head is a little dizzy every time he thinks about this incident, and he only feels that his brain is very insufficient.

In such a situation, how could she not have a strong curiosity about Cook, she had been very reserved because of the presence of Afra and Highlando, and now that there were only two people alone, she found that she didn't know how to speak.

In the end, it became the current squirming appearance, and I wanted to ask, but I couldn't open my mouth.

After being silent for about ten minutes, Mu Lanya finally couldn't hold it anymore, her already swollen red face puffed up slightly, she took a deep breath, her red lips opened slightly, and said, "That ......"

"Little Cook, come in, the Headmaster wants to see you. At this moment of great tension, Hylando opened the office door very inappropriately, poked her head out, and beckoned to Cook.

"Ah, okay. After hearing Hylando's voice, Cook raised his head in a little panic, and then followed Hylando straight into the office, leaving Mu Lanya standing outside the door alone.

The door closed again, and Mu Lanya seemed to be deflated, leaning against the pure white wall and slowly sliding down, squatting on the ground, and letting out a long sigh.

As for Cook, he had already come to the principal of Emperor Star High School at this time, and when the principal was looking at him carefully, he was also looking at this principal carefully.

The headmaster's figure was very thin, even if he was draped in a thick coat, he couldn't hide it, and as for his appearance, it could only be described by the word pure ordinary, with neither a tall nose bridge, nor clear and deep eyes, and even a little muddy, placed in the crowd, it is estimated that no one would notice this person.

However, on the wrist of his left hand exposed at the cuff, there are fine lines of black and white, which are connected and intertwined with each other, and the whole is intertwined into an irregular circle, and within the circle, the black and white stripes surround the edge area of the circle, neatly condensing twelve strange numbers.

Is this, clock?Cook looked at the strange pattern on his wrist, and a trace of doubt and solemnity suddenly crossed his deep eyes.

If that's really a clock pattern, it means that the principal's ability is time-related, and most of the abilities that can be tied to time are very powerful.

After all, throughout the history of mankind, the only people who can directly interfere with time are some supernatural people among human beings, and technology is far from reaching this level.

"Sure enough, it's you, it seems that it was quite wise to entrust this matter to Afra in the first place. The headmaster, who was sitting in his office chair, smiled with satisfaction after looking at Cook carefully.

However, his first sentence made Cook completely confused, because from what he had just said, Cook could clearly feel that this headmaster did not seem to have seen him for the first time.

"You've seen me before?" Cook asked.

"Hmm...... It's okay to say that, and it's in this office. The principal thought for a moment and said.

Hearing this, Cook's brows furrowed even deeper, this was the first time he had come to this school, let alone the principal's office, how could he have met here before.

"Let's not mention this, how much do you know about the national competition?"

"It's not a lot, I just know it's a big competition, but I don't know exactly how it works. ”

Cook's answer abruptly silenced the headmaster, his brow furrowed, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table in a rhythmic manner.

"Afra, how many people are still in the school today?" the headmaster suddenly asked Afra on the side.

"There is no one else but the guards, and I had already sent them back in advance. Afra replied lightly.

The headmaster nodded in satisfaction, then raised his head slightly, smiled mysteriously at Cook, and said, "Then let you see the last competition with your own eyes." ”

Cook was slightly stunned, only to see that the twelve strange numbers on the headmaster's left wrist actually spun violently, and then directly detached from his wrist and flew away, suddenly crashing into the ceiling of the building and disappearing.

In the sky above Emperor Star High School, twelve strange numbers suddenly appeared, each number was as huge as half a football field, and the twelve strange numbers continued to rotate slowly around the void above the entire Emperor Star High School, and the black and white strange light was like twelve pillars that went straight into the sky, straight into the ground below, and the twelve numbers were connected one by one.

The space where the entire Emperor Star High School was located seemed to be shattered and distorted, and escaped into a silver-white unknown space, and the silver-white streamer slowly enveloped the entire Emperor Star High School, and all the buildings around Cook and them were gradually turning into pitch-black annihilation powder at a speed visible to the naked eye, constantly dissolving in the strange silver streamer.

As all the buildings slowly disappeared, Mu Lanya's figure suddenly appeared not far away, she looked terrified, and crouched there with her head tightly hugged, refusing to open her eyes.

"The 96th National Competition of the Leia Empire is now officially opened!" As an extremely excited roar suddenly sounded, the surroundings of Cook and his group also suddenly resounded with earth-shattering excited shouts and cheers, and everyone echoed the previous voice, as if it was a song of blood that touched the depths of their souls.

Like a new life after destruction, the already empty surroundings were spread out in a dazzling blue-white brilliance, and the brilliance shimmered with dazzling brilliance, and every time it was revealed, new sights and buildings would immediately appear, and in a few moments, Cook found that he was standing in an unknown wilderness.

In front of him, three men were busy camping, and a small tent large enough for three people was soon built, and then one of them turned abruptly, took a fishing rod from his baggage, and walked straight towards Cook.

Cook stared directly at the man walking towards him, and his steps couldn't help but take two steps back.

Although the man's eyes were always on Cook's body, Cook, who was directly looking at him, could clearly see that he was not reflected in that person's eyes at all.

Frowning tightly, Cook looked at the man who walked straight towards him, his whole body stiffened, and he assumed a posture of preparation for battle, his eyes flashing with a cold glow that flickered in his eyes.

However, as soon as the young man stepped within half a meter of Cook's body, his whole body rippled violently like waves on the surface of the lake, and his body suddenly became transparent and illusory, without any influence, and went straight through Cook's body, and then returned to its original state.

Cook turned incredulously and stared at the young man's figure with a stunned look on his face.

"Well, it's still more incredible than listening to other people's narration and seeing it with your own eyes, isn't it?" Behind him, the headmaster's voice suddenly came, making Cook's mind suddenly become more messy.

Cook was dizzy, held his forehead, and whispered in disbelief, "You mean, just now, it's the national competition?"

"That's just part of it, to be exact. Afra, who was behind the principal, also said lightly at this time, "The national competition is not only a savage battle, how to survive in the cruel law of the jungle is the most important point. ”

"Survival?" Cook looked up suddenly, feeling unbelievable at the words he had just heard, could it be that there would be a dead person in the national competition?

"Rest assured, there will be no real deceased, and by survival, I mean not to be eliminated. Afra smiled rarely, but her tone was still flat.

"After all, there are many kinds of abilities, some abilities are naturally suitable for fighting, and some abilities cannot step into the battlefield at all, and can only be used as a support to increase the combat power of the overall team, so in order to consider the balance, the competition has always been in a team system to participate in the competition. ”

"The camping you just saw is also a way to give the non-combat abilities the most to their strength, after all, they are much better than the pure combat abilities in this regard. Highlando, too, gave Cook an explanation.

"That's right, the national competition is not about fighting each other until the last person on the battlefield, it's more about giving full play to the role of the group, each person using their own abilities, climbing to the top of the dragon platform, and taking down the dragon balls on the dragon platform with their partners. The headmaster also nodded, agreeing with the previous explanation.
