Andrew was in the crowd, watching the contestants on stage with his classmates, but he was thinking about something else.

"How many appearances is Grandia?"

Since he didn't have access to the people in charge, he naturally didn't know the order of these contestants, and waited until this last one.

The next contestant was Grandia Ulysses from Year 1. ”

The host's loud voice read out the name that Andrew had in mind.

"It's her!"

Andrew was eager to jump up at the moment, and he tried to stretch his neck, trying to get a clear view of the scene on the stage from the vast crowd in front of him.

"Hey, man, do you want a telescope, just a gold coin to be able to see things in the distance clearly!"

A student next to him nudged Andrew with his elbow, holding an iron cylinder in his hand.

"Really?"

The magic that can spy on the distance can only be unleashed by a formal mage, Andrew looked at the man next to him with some suspicion.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, try it!"

The man seemed to be angry that he had been questioned, and shoved the cylinder in his hand into Andrew's audience.

"It's my own proud invention, and I don't use magic at all...... Well, I used some of it, but it doesn't matter!"

Andrew took the cylinder and peeked through it under the guidance of the student, and found that the picture of the stage was clearly displayed in the small cylinder.

"Really!"

"Of course, quick, give the money!"

The student smirked, then held out his hand to Andrew.

Andrew was impatient, took a gold coin out of his pocket, ignored it, and hurried to look through the binoculars to the stage.

I saw that the stage that was gradually rising, and Grandia, who was supposed to be the protagonist, was standing on it, but it was empty at this time.

"Fake?"

Andrew immediately thought that his telescope was a fake, he removed the cylinder and poked his head out to look, but he didn't see any Grandia.

"What's the situation, people?"

"Is it a stealth spell?"

"Strange, am I missing something?"

The surrounding students also exchanged their heads and ears, and doubts spread in the crowd.

It stands to reason that if Grantia hadn't been there, then she would have directly announced her abstention, but the host just now clearly said that she was going to show.

In fact, even the judges, teachers and guests on the rostrum were a little confused.

"What's this trick up to?"

A judge asked.

"Could it be that she also changed her entry?"

Having seen a real camera, Professor Siegfrier had been looking forward to the improved version of Grandia in the final, but now it seems that it is a little more than he expected?

The contestants who watched the show in the lounge were equally puzzled.

"What is this playing, hide and seek?"

Martha frowned, unhappy with this trick.

"I don't know how it will appear. ”

Otto rubbed his chin in thought, staring at the empty stage.

Only Alyssa, and Lottie, who was sitting on the side, were calmly watching the stage, waiting for Grandia to appear for a moment.

In the disturbing crowd, Andrew had no choice but to pick up the binoculars again and carefully observe every corner of the stage.

Then, he soon discovered that in the center of the stage, there was an inconspicuous crystal.

"Crystallization?"

Before he could figure out what was going on, the crystal burst out with dazzling light, shooting out countless rays of light from it, forming a huge projection in the air.

"A mirror?"

Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene, and the audience was silent for a while.

The projection was a huge square plane, and I couldn't see anything special, but the judges and teachers present were already a little shaken.

"At this scale, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of runes to do it, how did it condense in that one crystal?"

"No, is it self-activating the crystal? Oh my God, what am I seeing?"

"The point is, what exactly does this crystal run without a mage to provide magic?"

"Projection magic? no, that's not regular projection magic, there's only one plane, what the hell are you going to do?"

"Professor Siegfriel, what do you think?"

Professor Siegfrier was questioned by a colleague next to him, and then noticed that everyone around him was looking at him, so he could only bite the bullet and cough lightly.

"Well, this Grantia Ulysses, she seems to have a whole new way of building magic, maybe it's an application of that thing. ”

He couldn't say why he himself came up, so he could only rely on the little information he had obtained before to make some relatively vague statements, so as not to be slapped in the face later.

Andrew no longer needed a telescope, and he could clearly see white particles drifting like snow on a black background on a huge projection screen.

The next moment, from the stage, a voice came.

"Audition. ”

It's a pretty lively-sounding female voice.

"Grandia!"

Alyssa, who was familiar with the other party's voice, immediately recognized that it was Grandia's voice.

Although she didn't quite understand what the so-called audition meant, she was quite happy to hear Grandia's voice.

"You're finally here. ”

The originally quiet square was boiling again because of this short sentence.

"What is this, Recording Crystal?"

"No, what the hell is this projection?"

"The point is, where are the people?"

Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience did not find Grandia's person, only the picture of snowflakes flying, quietly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

"Grandia ......"

Alyssa was also a little worried, her hands clenched in front of her chest.

And at this time, the projection picture changed suddenly, accompanied by a sizzling sound, a girl appeared on the projection screen.

It was Grantia, who was dressed in an ordinary apprentice's robe.

"Hey, the picture seems to be connected...... Wow, isn't that already happening?"

She looked out through the screen and said in a somewhat unconventional tone.

"What? she's hiding in the crystals?"

"Impossible, I think it's some kind of special projection method, she should be hiding somewhere now. ”

"This girl is so cute, and she happens to be my type!"

"Where is she? It seems like she sees a familiar sign behind her. ”

The students were in a commotion because of Grandia's presence, and the judges on the rostrum began to whisper, apparently, things had already been unexpected by them.

And Grandia in the picture began to continue to speak.
