July 1, the date specified for the original qualifiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gold Suite on the top floor of the Crocas Garden Hotel. This is the place that the missionary society has chosen as a temporary station, because this is the only room that has enough space for him to set up a magic circle and hold a meeting of the scales.

Although it was daytime, the room was dim, and a cyan communication magic array with a diameter of ten meters shone with a ghostly light and slowly rotated, and all thirteen chess pieces gathered. In addition to the missionaries and Zhang Xuqian who were here, there was also a stand-in for Val Yituto, and the rest of the people participated in the meeting in the form of a mindful body.

Speaking of which, there are really only a handful of scenes where all the people gather together. Usually they are scattered around the world to carry out their own tasks, working together for the layout of the chess players, and even if they want to get together before the start of the big war now, they can't just get out and leave, so for the time being, they can only choose this way to hold a meeting.

"Why are you calling us for a meeting at this time?" someone complained, "and now I'm on my way, and I'll be there soon, can't I wait?"

Nono also complained: "You're just in a hurry, Daphnek and I are fighting! The guys of the Twelve Shields of the Guardian are very powerful! We are trying to find a way to get out of the truce, don't disturb us at this juncture!"

The missionary coughed and showed a rare wry smile: "I'm sorry to summon everyone suddenly, but now the situation is really urgent, and the problem is already imminent." ”

Aoyama was still in the headquarters at the moment, and when he heard this, he immediately asked, "Is it the matter of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts?" I have already figured out about the situation of Brantish......

The missionary continued with a wry smile: "Well, that's a problem too, but it's ...... that really matters."

Val sneered: "All in all, it's just that this qualifier is out of play." ”

Nono interrupted their conversation: "Wait, let's talk about Brantish first, I'm more concerned about this, why did she appear in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts?"

Aoyama replied, "I have contacted Zhang Xuqian from Paihuang-sama's side, and here's the thing: last month, the Second Special Wizard Brigade built a new base on Galakel Island, because it is also technically part of the territory of the Western Continent, so there is a conflict with Brantish. Then the Emperor had a gamble with Brandish, and in the end Brandish lost himself to the Wizard Brigade......"

Val asked, "So there's no reaction from the Empire?"

"It seems that I also sent people over to fight a few games, but I didn't take advantage of anything, so I didn't do it for the time being. ”

Val snorted coldly: "If it's just twelve shields, the empire won't care, he asks someone who can make up for it at any time." He was still haunted by the fact that he had been quickly replaced after the mutiny.

The missionary nodded: "Very well, so she is not an enemy, so let her go...... Although it is a bit of a disruption to the balance of the game. The topic pulls back, and now there's a major problem!"

"There are too many teams that have qualified for the qualifiers!"

That's right, there are too many magicians who have passed the challenge, far exceeding their most optimistic expectations.

Originally, according to the idea of the chess player, among the people who passed the magic test, the top eight scores were selected to advance to the main match. But in the last chess player meeting, everyone agreed that the opportunity was rare, and it was necessary to have a good time, and the eight teams were not lively enough, so they changed the rules without authorization, canceled the limit on the number of teams that were promoted, and changed it to "as long as the score reaches 2,000, you can advance". In order to allow more teams to pass the challenge, "cheating" is also allowed, and strive to make up a dozen or twenty teams to participate, so that everyone's well-designed competition will become more lively.

"But so far, nearly 90 teams have made the cut. ”

As the missionaries reported the figures, the rest of the crowd could not help but exclaim—no matter how you look at them, this number is too exaggerated!

"Why is this happening?" Nono asked, "Even if you can cheat, there aren't that many guilds that have the strength to pass the level, right?"

The missionary was silent for a moment: "Because of the loopholes in the rules we have made, plus a model of successfully catching the loopholes - Fairy Tail." ”

It's all because of Fairy Tail, and last night, Laxus and Natsu passed the challenge one after another, so that Fairy Tail got a spot on both teams.

This gave other guilds a lot of inspiration, and it turned out that one guild could send multiple teams to participate!

Last night, the following qualifiers were postponed to today due to the fact that the mana detection device was reduced by Brantish's magic and could no longer be used.

Originally, the missionary had no intention of paying attention to today's qualifiers, and he did not believe that there would be a Brandish like Brantish in the remaining guilds. But it was precisely this morning that the qualifiers began to enter the most lively stage.

Unlike those magicians last night, the scores were higher and higher, and in the end they even blew up the test equipment! Because this result was too exaggerated, people had no sense of reality in the end, and completely regarded those magicians as another creature. But today is different, without those exaggerated magicians who are open-minded, all the results of passing the level are just over the two thousand mark, and the gap between them is mostly between one or two hundred.

This kind of competition has become more interesting, after all, it is necessary to be evenly matched to show the fierce competition.

The audience was very happy, but the missionaries soon couldn't sit still, because the number of people who passed the challenge was rising rapidly, and the number was more than half a hundred. Only then did he feel that the situation was not good, and hurriedly investigated.

Then, the missionaries found that there were many magicians who passed the challenge, but in fact the number of guilds that managed to advance was much smaller, at most only about twenty - this was the number in their mist.

It turns out that many guilds follow the example of Fairy Tail and send two or even three teams to participate!

They are all cheating means to pass the challenge, and cheating is usually something that can be replicated, and if you can do it once, you can do it for the second, third and fourth times......

On the other hand, the protagonist guilds such as Sword Biting Tiger, Snake Queen's Scales, Blue Pegasus, Mermaid's Heel, Four Hounds, and Crow's Tail have only two teams due to "misoperation". Because they really want to compete for the final championship, they will not do anything to distract their forces and send more teams to participate.

But the rest of the guilds that were able to successfully advance because of cheating were a surprise that they could have entered the main tournament, and the champions didn't dare to expect anything at all, so their mentality and concept became "participation first, competition second". Most of them have a lively and fresh attitude, at least in this way, they are also the guild that "participated in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts"!

They didn't plan to win anyway, and even if they concentrated their strongest strength, it would be impossible to defeat those monster-level guilds, so they didn't care about dispersing their forces at all. It's better to take this opportunity to send a few more people on the field for a long time.

Moreover, maybe the numerical advantage can also help them counter the quality advantage of the protagonist's guild.

With this in mind, the number of participating teams sprung up to 90!

There is no place where there are so many teams in a main competition! The dueling arena on Toms Blau's mountain can't fit so many people to compete together!

The missionaries, who felt that they had lost their game, urgently convened a meeting of all the chess pieces to discuss countermeasures.

After listening to the missionary's account, the meeting room was silent, and no one spoke for a while. Strictly speaking, everyone present is responsible for such a problem, because the matter of changing the rules is decided by everyone.

After a long time, Aoyama coughed: "I think it's better not to tell the chess player about this." ”

Nuno nodded and clapped: "That's right, you can't tell your lord! Otherwise, you will be despised by him for a long time! ”

The missionary said, "Even if you say so, captain, there is nothing you can do for a while! It is impossible to repent, and all these ninety teams must enter the main competition!"

Franklin, a big man, said in a loud voice, "But we didn't design a competition that was suitable for so many teams to participate in, right?"

The missionary nodded, and he was worried about it.

Aoyama suddenly remembered something: "I remember asking the chess player what his original plan was. He said that if he were asked to set up this year's tournament program, he would simply choose Battle Royale and Ring mode to choose the winner. ”

Nono said, "What do you mean ......"

"I thought we might be able to borrow from the ideas of adults and add an element of battle royale to the events on the first day of tomorrow's tournament, and the combat part should also be set up in the ring mode. ”

Daphne questioned, "It's true that we could have ninety teams in this change, but this is the last day of the project, right? ”

Aoyama's eyes flashed with wisdom: "No, I mean to add a battle royale element to a certain project, rather than directly using battle royale to play. The purpose of this is to conduct a 'secondary screening'!"

"Without special circumstances, it is impossible for a team that has already been selected for the main competition to be expelled. "But we can use some means to make some teams take the initiative or have to retire......! Because he was seriously injured in the battle, he could not get up again. ”

The chess pieces are eye-catching! Yes, this will allow you to "reasonably" reduce the number of participating teams!

The missionary nodded: "So we need to design a special project now, manually eliminate a group of teams that join in the fun!

Zhang Xuqian, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke: "The purpose of this is too obvious, we need to make some concessions elsewhere in order to convince those guilds." ”

The missionary looked at the woman beside him, "You say?"

"In the case of a limit to the full number of participating teams, we can make concessions on the stand-in side. Tell them that alternates are no longer limited to a specific person, and that they can temporarily swap them from all members of the guild. ”

Vaal's robot double questioned, "But it's against the rules of the tournament, right?"

Zhang Xuqian smiled: "So you have to abide by the rules, and the candidates for replacement also need to pass the test of magic testing." ”

Nuno frowned: "You've gone around in such a big circle, aren't you still targeting those guilds? If someone can pass the challenge, they won't be eliminated easily, right?"

"But this is in line with the regulations, and you can gag their mouths. Zhang Xuqian spread her hands, "You don't want a group of people to complain about our unfairness after the game, right?"

The chess pieces looked at each other, and then decisively agreed with Zhang Xuqian's suggestion.

"It feels like you're planning something, but...... So do it!" Nono finally decided.

Aoyama coughed and refocused everyone's resting energy on him: "Then the next thing is to decide which project to transform." I recommend using the 'obstacle course' offered by Franklin...... We can increase the traps on the track by a few levels, and Franklin, you can also load the machine gun array that you were denied earlier. ”

In order to solve the problem, a gentle green mountain is also fighting.

Zhang Xuqian proposed: "Also, you can arrange a surgical array, set traps to force each other to enter it, and only one person can stand and walk out!"

"Great idea!" Daffney exclaimed, "I have experts on my technical team, send them right away!"

Zhang Xuqian smiled slightly, the fairy tail likes to duel in this way.

The missionary was on the scene, so he was under the most pressure, and he didn't care about any mercy at the moment: "Also, the number of participants in this project needs to be a little larger, and you can't choose one person from each team, and it will take two or three people to do it!" In fact, he wanted to let all five people play, and eliminate most of the teams once and for all. Even the puppet behind him is no longer an "evangelist", but a "punisher" and "inquisitor" covered in hideous barbs.

Val's eyes flashed with electronic light: "I've done a good job of modifying the design of the track. So it's decided, and now it's time to report to the kingdom. Also, for the best results, we should inform these teams in advance about the rule changes and the first event, so that they can 'prepare'!"

Daphne became excited: "It looks like it's going to be funny, I must rush back to watch the live version!

Nuno nodded: "Then we will go down first, and we have to deal with the battle at hand." ”

The rest of the crowd also said that they would arrive as soon as possible.

After sending everyone away, the missionary dismantled the magic circle and went with Val to deal with these matters.
