After knowing that there would be a race in a month's time, even if Leo didn't want to, he had to train to get a good position. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Moreover, he also learned from Mike's mouth that this freshman competition is equivalent to a freshman ranking tournament and other events, not only freshmen have to participate, but even second-year students have to participate in this kind of competition, which is a routine of the college every semester. However, third-year students who have been in the academy for three years are not required to participate in this kind of competition. As for the reason, he heard Mike say that it seemed to be because there was no need for this in the third year. When asked why, Mike couldn't answer.

Although this competition is said to be a regular event, in fact, the enthusiasm of the students in the college for this competition is unexpectedly high. In addition to the high rankings, the academy will give students a lot of rewards. Being able to get a good ranking in such a high-level competition will help me a lot in the future. Therefore, many students whose family backgrounds are not very good will try their best to achieve a good ranking in this competition. And those students with strong family backgrounds, if they are squeezed out of the rankings by these students, then their families will not give them a good look. That's how this competition has formed a relatively good competitive atmosphere in the academy. However, this kind of competition is not limited to this once, there is also one in the month before the end of the semester, in addition to the fact that the academy may hold competitions from time to time, and those who are not satisfied with their ranking can also pull back in these few opportunities.

"Is it a one-on-one ring match......"

Lying on the big bed in his dorm room, Leo looked at the ceiling above his head and wondered what he was going to do with the game in a month's time. Or rather, thinking about what you're going to do. Do you want to use all your strength, or do you want to keep some strength? Although it would seem a bit arrogant to say this, Leo is still a little confident in his own strength. At the very least, he doesn't think he'll be ranked below the top 50.

"Forget it, it's useless to think about it like this, let's decide what course you want to choose. ”

Because of Leo's trust in his own strength, he didn't think about the game carefully, but instead thought about other things, like what kind of course he would choose to study after the game.

"Let me see...... What kind of courses are available?"

In order to choose the course he wanted, Leo took out the crystal he got yesterday, injected a little magic, and a water-blue screen appeared, and began to look up the list of courses on it.

This crystal was actually made in a branch of the academy, the Alchemy Branch. At first, it seemed that a gadget made by a more imaginative student could communicate within a certain range and display text messages. Later, it was discovered by the branch director of the Alchemy Branch, and after further improving it, it became what it is now, a thing that can communicate, receive information, store information, display images, and query information.

"What!"

After seeing this small message, Leo exclaimed in surprise.

“…… Students are not allowed to select courses until the Freshman Ranking Contest has ended. ”

"This ...... Aren't you kidding? In this month's time, you don't have to go to class!?Is this still an academy!?"

It's no wonder that Leo was so surprised, as in general, even if a large event like a competition is held, ordinary colleges will not allow students to have this kind of free time. If you want to train for competitions, then use your free time, and the time in class will not give you training. However, this is also the way of teaching in this college, which is completely laissez-faire and allows students to learn on their own.

"Alas...... There's no way, so I'll have to devote myself to training this month. ”

Since there will be no classes for the next month, what I can do now is to train well, rest well, and recuperate mentally for the competition.

"In that case, let's go ahead and connect with some magical techniques. ”

Anyway, it's still only afternoon, and there is still some time to go to bed, so you might as well practice some magic skills first. After all, seeing the kind of skill that Conrad showed in the classroom today, the way he manipulated the elements at will, really made Leo very envious, and a little eager to try.

"Okay, let's try it then. ”

So, Leo began to follow Conrad's example, condensing the elements and trying to make them what he imagined. Colorful lights began to appear in the dormitory, as if all the elements had gathered.

"How can it be like this? Why can't it be like the one that the teacher demonstrated today? Could it be that I have done something wrong? It seems that this technique is really difficult to master, and after practicing for so long, I can't even figure out the clue. ”

After a long time, the night grew dark. However, Leo had not studied anything since this afternoon, until it was now nearly late at night. Not to mention the skills, I don't know how many times I failed on the way, and a few times because of mistakes, I almost caused an explosion. Fortunately, Leo had set up an enchantment magic beforehand, otherwise the white walls in this dormitory would have turned black. But because of this, Leo is now completely black.

"Uh...... It's so dirty, let's go clean it first. ”

Leo looked at himself, and it was all black and dirty. And now it's nearly midnight, it's time to go to bed. So, Leo took out a change of clothes from his bag and prepared to take a shower in the bathroom of the dormitory. Although there is a large communal bath in the building where the dormitory is located, it is closed at a time when it is close to midnight. However, it is estimated that the academy thought that there would be students who practiced until the middle of the night, and added a bathroom in the student dormitory to facilitate the washing of some students who practiced until midnight.

"Whew~ It's much more comfortable. ”

It didn't take long for Leo, whose whole body was no longer dark, to come out of the bathroom refreshingly.

"Do you have a month left to prepare?"

Lying on the bed, Leo looked at the ceiling above his head and began to froze.

"One month...... What can you do in a month? A month is not a short time, nor is it a long time. But for some, there are many, many things that can change this month. And what can I do in this month?"

Even though this competition is just a competitive competition. However, a game is still a game after all, and there are only two outcomes of the game: losing and winning. Otherwise, lose. Otherwise, win. Of course, there is also the existence of such an outcome. However, everyone has put in the effort and everyone wants to prove that they are better than others. There may be some people with high self-esteem who can't accept it and don't recognize this result. Moreover, everyone's talent is different, and the effort put in is not the same, and it is inevitable that there will be advantages and disadvantages in the end. And what the competition does is to screen these people who have participated in the competition. These people, including Leo. So, Leo couldn't help but think about it. What should I do if I lose......?

Leo doesn't think he's the best man in the world, there must be someone better than him. It's like seeing Conrad in the classroom today, and his kind of control skills for the elements, I don't know how many times higher than Leo. Although Leo's strength is not weak, he is not the strongest one, and there is always a chance that he will meet someone stronger than him. What would he do if that happened? Is it okay to be like this?

"Why are you thinking so much? Sober up, Leo. You should know very well that no matter how much you worry about it, no matter how much you are distressed. But what you can't do now is what you can't do. Just do your best...... Just do your best. ”

Leo thought for a moment, and felt that he didn't need to think about these things. And, instead of wasting your time like this, it's better to be honest and do more effort.

"Don't want to, sleep. ”

So, Leo suddenly threw away those nonsense thoughts and fell asleep.
