Ukiyo-e Island, a special passage for tournament personnel only.

In front of the participants, the competition staff, regardless of men and women, have always been upright and calm, and their every move, word and deed is as perfect as if they had been trained. The pace is neither fast nor slow, and the arc of the smile is just right, but in the special passage where there is no outsider's perspective, the scene inside is completely different.

In the narrow passage, a woman with coiled hair was wearing a slim skirt and tall shoes, but she hurriedly ran over, and a man stopped her violently: "Rowling, how long is it?"

"In about half an hour, the list of competition systems has come out, you hurry up and notify the A2 and A3 groups to send out today's entry list. Rowling spoke quickly and was about to fly by.

The man grabbed her again and hurriedly asked, "Where is the venue?"

"Group B will deal with it, you just need to put the notice in place, I still have something to do, you hurry up." After Rowling finished speaking, she immediately walked away with her feet.

After turning around and turning around, Rowling came to another entrance, which was different from the one the contestants entered, it was very empty, and only a few people who didn't look like ordinary people were talking.

The moment Rowling walked out, she instantly calmed down, her steps were steady, she smiled appropriately, and looked at everyone: "I'm sorry to disturb your chat, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"Luo, you're still so beautiful. A brown-haired man quipped, and several people around him seemed to know each other, and they all laughed good-naturedly.

Rowling's smile remained unchanged and bent slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, I haven't seen you for many years, you still have the same appearance, and you are still so handsome." ”

The brown-haired man laughed: "At our level, it's probably not easy to get old." ”

Rowling saluted the five men one by one, turned sideways to show the way, and motioned for a few people to follow.

Several people did not directly enter the interior of the Ukiyo-e Island like the students, but still walked in the passage in the inner wall, Rowling led the way in front, and seeing that everyone was silent, she spoke: "A few people haven't come to watch the new battle for a long time, why are you interested in coming this year?"

Several people glanced at each other, and the brown-haired man spoke: "Master Jerome recently wants to leave Henonia and retire, and wants to find a good seedling to teach for a few years and leave a little seed. ”

Rowling covered her mouth and smiled: "The master has been trapped in a breakthrough for a long time, I'm afraid he wants to go to the mainland to look for opportunities." ”

The brown-haired man nodded and said, "You can see it." ”

"It's just that Master Jerome could have left directly, why did he suddenly take in an apprentice?" Rowling was a little puzzled.

"Don't mention it," said another woman dressed in a slim robe and wearing a fox skin on her shoulders, "Jerome found Master Ji'er, and she said that his opportunity was here, and he thought about it, what he could do in the new battle was nothing more than these young children, so he thought about taking in an apprentice, maybe there was a certain number in the dark." ”

"I didn't expect Master Jerome to think like this, but Master Jir's words really made people have to listen to it, which is understandable. Rowling understood, "It's just that the master himself wants his favorite apprentice, why don't he come over by himself." ”

The fox-fur woman smiled: "How do you know that he hasn't come?"

"Is it ......," Rowling guessed, "the master is really a bad taste." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of trouble, so I asked our group of juniors to be a shield. The brown-haired man made an angry expression, but he didn't look really angry, and they were both respectful and helpless for the old naughty Jerome.

"Speaking of shields, Luo, who else is here today. Naturally, he didn't ask the audience, but people like them who had some purpose.

"It's still the same in the empire, there are a few presidents from the Adrien family, there are more families this time, there are many large and small, but those who are the most famous are those families, and the rest are the people from your Skylark Castle. ”

"Sure enough......" The brown-haired man blinked in understanding.

At this time, everyone had already arrived at the door, and Rowling opened the door, and inside was a wide semi-circular box, the outer half of which was all transparent, and she could see almost every corner of the arena below. It is worth mentioning that you can't see the inside from the outside, and this is a great place to watch the battle.

"I'm guessing there's already a family that has inquired about us. The brown-haired man asked.

"That's nature. Rowling smiled.

"You told them?"

Rowling is unafraid: "It's our duty to answer every question as best I can. ”

The five people in Skylark Castle were a little speechless.

"However, no one seems to know about Master Jerome, after all, I had no way of knowing about it until then. Rowling continued.

The brown-haired man had a smile on his face, "Then I hope that the family forces are not interested in the five of us." ”

But their ideas were good, and after Rowling was out for a while, people came to "visit" them one after another.

......

"There were our people on the first day. Funnie was holding the watch that had just been brought in, and Doro's name was written on it.

Elsie was a little worried, after all, this was the first game, and everyone didn't know much about the situation here.

However, Funie's expression was not very nervous: "Don't worry, in fact, it's the same to play first and then play, I am relieved in the morning, and I am nervous when I drag it to the back." She glanced at Doro, only to see that the latter didn't seem to be listening to her, tilting his head sideways, not knowing what he was thinking.

Funi lifted her forehead and sighed: "It seems that I am worried in vain, and he is the least nervous among you." ”

"Doro!"

"Hmm. Doro turned his head and looked at Funnie calmly, not showing the slightest panic in the form of a distracted being caught.

Completely speechless, Funnie threw the watch at him: "You're in the first race." ”

Doro took it with one hand, held it in front of his eyes, and silently pronounced the name of his opponent: "Demon Hunting Academy Colan Fondor." ”

"It sounds familiar. Elsie began.

Funnie thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit of a coincidence, the Demon Hunting Academy is also Cronor's academy, ranking fourth on the academy list, but I don't have much impression of this Cranfondo, and it shouldn't be very famous before entering the academy." ”

"Come to peace. Doro said lightly.

Funnie sneered, "You can see it." Don't forget our agreement, you're going to save face for my Saint Rini. This is your first battle. ”

Du Sen seemed to be about to speak, but the door was knocked open again, and a tall and handsome young man stood at the door and smiled: "Doro of St. Rini Academy, your game is about to start, please follow me." ”

"Why is it so fast?" Melody asked, just after learning about the opponent and about to start, Dusen came to his lips and then explained: "For the sake of fairness, I am afraid of exposing too much information and letting the players discuss countermeasures, so it is very fast from release to start." ”

Doro stood up, and Elsie followed suit, patting his arm, "Come on." ”

"Hmm. ”

Doro turned around and just walked out the door when there was a click in the next room, and a blue-haired teenager came out.

The boy also saw Doro, and even stretched out his hand to say hello: "Yo hoo, I recognize you." ”

Doro ignored him, turned around and followed the crew.

"Hey!" the blue-haired boy took two steps to Doro's side, his lead man also walking in front, and the two race crew members didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two behind them.

"Don't you know me, then you don't want to know who I am?" the blue-haired boy raised his arm to put his arm on Doro's shoulder, but Doro took a step and dodged away, still not speaking.

"You!" the blue-haired boy lost his patience and leaped to his feet, "I'll tell you!

Doro glanced at him, but only at that, and said nothing more.

"Hmph, what a handsome play!" Ke Lan Hammer Wall muttered, Doro was annoyed by his chattering noise, and finally reached the exit at the end of the passage, the door was opened to both sides, and the sound gradually came, from calm to warm, the crowd was boiling, and it seemed that there were many people outside.

Out is a waiting room, it seems to be next to the arena, there are windows on three sides, Ke Lan went in and hurriedly leaned on the window to look out, looking up at the huge floating island There are countless spectators sitting in a circle, estimating the waiting room, and the voice is even more deafening.

"That's a lot of people. Ke Lan sighed.

"For the sake of fairness in the game. Please take out your weapons and hand us over any other unrelated items. The two smiled and held out their hands.

With a wave of one hand, Doro gripped a heavy sword, then faded the spatial ring from his hand and tossed it to a member of the Tournament Crew.

Seeing this, Ke Lan also took out a knight's sword and a one-handed shield in the same posture, and then took off the necklace around his neck and threw it away.

Both of them took it and said in unison: "Please wait here for a while, and when you hear the start of the game, you can walk out of the waiting room directly with your names." Then they withdrew, and closed the door.

Sure enough, you can hear the voices outside, especially the loud male voice, which seems to sound directly in everyone's ears.

After the same introduction, the male voice finally announced the start of the game, and announced the two sides of the first game, Ke Lan glanced at Doro confidently, dashing with a sword in one hand, and slammed the door with a shield in the other hand and walked out, Doroti also followed out with a heavy sword.

Seeing a flower in front of him, Doro regained his vision, and was already standing on the opposite side of Ke Lan, the surrounding voices were noisy, but it was not a deafening situation at all. It seems that the barrier has also cut off some of the sounds.

That's right, the moment the two walked out of the door, the space changed instantly, they were all standing in the ring, the wide arena allowed them to play freely, and there was no referee, it seemed that all the instructions were given by the male voice who broadcast.

All the spectators, including the forces in the box, watched as the first battle of the new battle began.

"So... Now, it's time for the race!"
