Chapter 75: Who is the number one?
Royal Combat Academy, in front of the Great Hall, on the Place of Splendor. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's been a while since the knockout rounds began, and all the participating students entered the teleportation magic array. Most of the students who accompanied the participating students at the beginning couldn't wait to leave, but during this period, many students who originally wanted to come and watch the excitement entered, and the square could be said to be bustling.
But the most central area of the fairy square is also blocked, and no one is allowed to approach, and because it is not the critical moment of the knockout round, the lecturers on duty here are not very careful, and the supervision is not so serious, and some curious students secretly run to get close and observe.
At this moment, two more students who were watching the lecturer on duty ran to the vicinity of the teleportation magic array.
"Wow, this is the teleportation array, it's the exit of the knockout round, it looks so powerful, I really don't know where this teleportation array is connected?" A lively and active girl was excited when she saw the magic array, and she approached with three steps and two big strides, shouting excitedly, but she didn't notice that she was still holding her friend's hand
"Hey, Margaery, small, be careful. The other girl couldn't catch up with her friend's sudden quickening pace, and was pulled to a stumbling, but it was not easy to stabilize her figure, and she patted the line with palpitations.
"Wendy, you say, someone has already come out. Margaery didn't pay attention to her friend's state and still said excitedly, "Probably not, if there is, the people around must have discussed it, by the way, Wendy, you say, who will be the first to pass in a while?"
"Hmm? I don't know. Wendy thought for a moment and came up with an answer.
"I hope it's Senior Drinker, Senior Drinker is gentle and handsome, powerful and full of humor, he slightly hooks the corners of his mouth and smiles at you, ah~~~~" Margaery's whole expression changed when she talked about Senior Drink, her original proud expression became shy and sweet, and her eyes blurred as if she was immersed in some dream.
The friend's answer was completely in Wendy's expectation - Senior Drinker, who was his friend's idol and dream lover, but Senior Drinker was indeed powerful, and was recognized as a strong man in the Royal Battle Academy, except for Senior Savannah, who had never failed.
However, when it comes to support, Wendy really thinks of the dark-haired girl.
Wendy is a second-year Potions student, she is the eldest daughter of a Viscount, she is not very talented, her character is not tenacious enough, and her combat power is not strong, and it is only because of the tradition of nobility that she was able to enter the Royal Battle Academy, and then joined the Potions class that does not require too high a lot of combat and the battle is not so intense.
But even the Potions class is not so peaceful, where there are people, there is fighting, and Wendy's slightly cowardly personality makes her in a state of being bullied, although there is a friend who has a good fighting power and a bold personality will stand up for her, but her friend Margaery is in the martial arts class and can't protect her all the time. One day, Wendy was finally blocked alone in the academy by the people in the class, but when Wendy was lonely and desperate, she was rescued by a girl younger than her, and she will never forget the way the black-haired girl stood in front of her, her fearlessness, and her stubbornness.
This is the first time in the academy in addition to her friend Wendy to get warmth, since then, Wendy has silently paid attention to the black-haired girl, learned that this time she also participated in the knockout round, when a friend just asked about the first place, Wendy's reaction was the stubborn face of the black-haired girl.
Suddenly, Wendy's arm is grabbed by her friend Margaret and she runs to another place.
"Ma ~ Gree, we?" To be honest, even after knowing her friend for so long, Wendy still can't keep up with her friend's sudden thinking.
"Hey, Wendy. A friend's more excited voice came from the front, "I heard that someone over there has made a bet on who will be the first to come out of the knockout round, let's go quickly." ”
Saying this, Margaery turned around, her face flushed, "Let's go to the next bet too, go and cheer for Senior Drink!" said Margaery, and Margaery sped up again.
Wendy had no choice, she couldn't break free from her friend at all, so she was forced to be pulled over.
Although the casino was not explicitly forbidden by the Royal Combat Academy, it was not a thing that could be seen in the open, so the place to place bets was in a corner of the square - Margaery asked several people and found it after many circles.
The temporary casino is full of people and angry, you must know that this human nature is good at gambling, and when it comes to their respective idols, the dispute in the casino is even more intense.
As soon as she entered the makeshift casino, Margaery was nowhere to be seen, and Wendy searched the crowd for a long time before realizing that she had formed an alliance with a group of people, and then had a heated argument with another group. Wendy was still a little nervous, but after listening carefully, she put her mind at ease, and it turned out that they were still arguing about whether it was the first place in the Savannah Senpaire Club or the first place in Senior Drink.
Wendy didn't lean over again, but instead carefully examined the contents of some of the bets at the table.
The stake is simple, it's a bet on which one will be the first to pass the knockout round. If you bet on that person, you can get the corresponding bet according to a certain payout rate. On the table are the names of all the people who participated in the knockout round, the most popular are Senior Drinker and Senior Savannah, their odds are almost the same, and there are very few people who support the rest of the people, usually only a few, and it is estimated that it may be a family bet.
Wendy only found out the name of that person at the end of the list, a very oriental name, Lin language, the payout ratio is one to one, and no one bets behind the name. This is also normal, after all, Lin Yu is just a very inconspicuous first-year student, no one knows, plus I heard that her friends have participated in the knockout round, so no one bets.
Wendy gently hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, picked up the pen, asked the manager for the sign, wrote down the bet, and placed it next to Lin Yu's name.
――I'm really envious of being strong and fearless, but I'm too cowardly to even dare to participate in the knockout tournament where my life is not in danger, so I can only give you a little support here.
The sign reads, bet, ten gold coins, the first place in the gambling language.
。。。。。。
On the periphery of the middle area of the square, two lecturers on duty were chatting.
Suddenly, a light came from the middle of the square.
"Ah~~~ I'm so sleepy. You say, someone is coming out?" Lecturer A yawned.
"It shouldn't be, it should be the one who was eliminated. Lecturer B glanced at it casually, but his eyes widened suddenly.
He quickly ran to the side and rang the magic bell.
Someone has passed the knockouts!
