Chapter 36: The Selection Begins

Two days later, at eight o'clock in the morning, the Battle Hall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Russell finished his special training with Kaylin and came here.

Unlike the training grounds, which are used by students for training and testing, the Battle Hall is a formal battle area that is only opened under the supervision of faculty members when the academy holds various formal competitions.

Today is the day of the selection battle, and the battle hall is naturally open.

A large arena was built in the battle hall, which occupies the middle area of the entire rotunda, and around this battle platform, there is a circle of seating areas with a capacity of 3,000 spectators along the perimeter of the walls.

Now, the place is full, the audience is full, most of them are teachers, students and staff in the academy, and there are not a few outsiders watching the battle, as a magic academy, the official battle in Aslant is still a certain attraction to the people of the Sapphire Blue City who are keen on the game.

"The relevant rules have been published in detail on the campus bulletins everywhere, and I think everyone has already read them, so I will re-emphasize the rules here just in case."

The contestants have gathered here, and Carol indifferently faced the crowd standing neatly and said:

"One: Each person is limited to two magic tools

2. The use of drugs is not allowed

Three: Until the point, it is forbidden to maliciously hurt people

Four: Losing the ability to fight, touching the field barrier, and taking the initiative to admit defeat are regarded as defeats. ”

"Once you violate the rules, you will be disqualified, do you remember the above?"

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"Yes."

Carol turned, holding a palm-sized flat ruby in her right hand, pointing at the hemispherical dome above, "Now for the first round of the selection round." ”

His magic was infused into the ruby, and a straight red ray of light shot out from the ruby to the center of the hemispherical dome, and above his head, above the crowd, a thin screen of light gradually emerged.

"The remote manipulation system... Magic Light Screen..."

Russell stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the illusory light screen with everyone, and admired in his heart, "The level of magic technology in the Blue City is really very good, if you can make good use of it, it may not be as good as Edelstein, it's a pity." ”

Southern mages are indeed good at research, and the Blue City is one of the best, but the things that have been invented with great effort are all for simplification and convenience of life, and they are of little use in this era of imminent chaos.

"Since there are 125 participants, there will be one bye first."

As Carol's voice fell, the suspended light screen was completely realized, and the names of clearly visible people flashed on it, fleetingly, and the sound of "beep" resounded in the hall.

Bye... Bye...!

Most of the people looked nervously at the light screen, praying in their hearts that they would be the lucky ones who would be bye, and most of them had little confidence in making it through the first round.

"Drop!"

Flashing stops.

"Karine Heinrich."

Finally, the name was fixed, and someone pronounced it out with jealousy.

"It's me..."

Karin was standing next to Russell, and she had no expectation of it, so she was a little surprised that she had a bye.

"Isn't that nice?"

Russell said: "It's not a big problem to pass the first round with your strength, and the bye is also a bye, just keep some and save some effort." ”

"Next is the official matchmaking draw."

Under Carol's magical control, the contents of the light screen were refreshed once, and Kailin's name disappeared, and in its place the names of one hundred and twenty-four people were displayed, and the names of the people were placed in rectangular boxes, and then these frames marked with people's names flew out of the light screen with golden light, and circled the air like a whirlwind.

After the chaotic circulation, each box dissipated its brilliance and turned into physical cards, which fell into the hands of the person whose name corresponded.

"The cards you get are information cards, and in addition to personal information, each information card also records your battle number."

"Now, go and insert your information card into your login seat, and after you have checked your identity, you can determine who you are fighting against and in order."

After hearing this, the contestants all walked silently to the login seats, which was a heart-wrenching moment.

In the face of the principal speaking, the audience did not speak loudly, but only occasionally exchanged heads and whispers, and quickly sank into the sea in the huge hall, there was no lively feeling here, it seemed solemn and solemn, and the mentality of the contestants fit very well.

In the silence, only the sound of footsteps echoed, and soon came to an abrupt end.

In the center of the platform, a metal pedestal covered in dark red lines protruded, and everyone walked over to verify their identities and inserted their cards into the opening at the top of the pedestal.

Soon, all 125 people verified and logged in their information and numbers, and the dark red lines on the surface of the seat woke up, and the bright red streamer flowed like liquid in the grooves of the lines, converging towards the top.

Bright red was covered with grooves, and a red battle distribution map was projected above, and Kailin was byed, and the names of one hundred and twenty-four people were connected by broken lines in pairs, forming sixty-two pairs.

"Oh my God, how did I get him..."

"Hehe... This promotion is stable! ”

"It's over, I'm afraid I'm already scrapped, and I'm going to be eliminated in the first round."

“……”

Seeing this distribution result, some people complained, some people breathed a sigh of relief, the number was about half, I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, the people at the bottom of the evaluation ranking were always divided with the people at the top.

Russell listened to the words around him, and he knew in his heart that in order to determine the strong and avoid too many accidents, the academy probably did something in the lottery, and the end was opposite, so as to eliminate the weak to the greatest extent.

But it's none of his business, no matter how it is distributed, those who have strength will naturally stand out.

Game 7, Ryan Sutter.

He quickly moved on to matters related to himself, fixing his gaze on the information he was assigned to the person.

Is it him...

Russell looked left and right, and saw a man of short stature looking at him, his expression desperate and dejected.

Russell smiled at him, and Ryan reluctantly returned an ugly smile when he saw this, and then his eyes dodged and quickly looked away.

"You see, people are so afraid of you that they don't even dare to look at each other, I feel that he wants to die."

Kailin smiled when she saw this beside him.

"Am I that terrible?"

Russell shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I'll let him have a little bit then." ”

"Contestants step down!"

The referee of the selection battle walked up and cleared the field.

Under his instructions, everyone went to the waiting area under the audience to wait,

"The first game, Sanchez Robinson vs. Mike Brown, please come on."

Make all the preparations, the battle is finally about to begin!
