## #两日后, at noon, Shangheng Academy

"School Challenge?" Gu Yanran sat on the chair and looked at the principal Xi Kun who was standing not far away for some reason.

She had just finished her last class at noon when she was called to Fuzong.

But she wasn't the only one who was called to the Mansion Sect, the gentlemen of the entire academy were called over, presumably to announce the matter of the Academy Challenge.

It's just that she doesn't understand that the Academy Challenge ...... What is it?

Xi Kun heard Gu Yanran's question, so he explained. "The School Challenge, as the name suggests, is a competition between institutions to compete for the title of 'Yeyu No. 1 School'.

If there is an emergency that makes the Hanlin Academy unable to become the organizer, we will have Shangheng University as the organizer.

The date of the challenge is set for May 15 every year, which means that there are less than 10 days left.

At that time, students from all over the world will gather in the Imperial City of Yeyu, which is one of the major annual events in Yeyu Kingdom.

The challenge will be divided into two factions, teachers and students, and the competition will take a long time to test the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so it will take a full five days.

On the first and second days, the Four Arts Challenge for students.

Students from each institution will challenge each other and compete for rankings, and the best of the four arts will be selected respectively, and they will be given the opportunity to enter the ideal university to study, or they can get rich rewards, choose one of the two.

On the third and fourth days, the Four Arts Challenge for Teachers.

The teachers of each school will challenge each other and compete for rankings, and the best of the four arts will also be selected, and they will also be given the opportunity to enter the ideal school to become a teacher, or get rich rewards, or serve in the palace Hanlin Academy.

As for the fifth day, there will be a Ring Challenge.

The winners of the teachers and students of each institution sat in the ring for half an hour to deal with the challengers who came to fight.

The challenger and defender must place their respective bets before the start of the ring.

Regardless of the bet, the losing side cannot repent, or disagree, and the governors of the schools and the scholars of the Hallym Academy are witnesses.

If the challenger is successful, the challenger gets the wager on the defender; If the defending side is successful, the defending team gets the challenger's bet.

Physical bets are ...... by the tournament organizer Hallym Temple, for safekeeping.

For non-physical bets, such as oral promises, after the results of the contest are announced, the scholars of the Hallym Academy will act as witnesses to draw the notes, and the defending party and the challenger will jointly sign and draw the pledge, and the oral promise will immediately become a written contract.

Due to the diversity of commitments and the uncertainty of the time, the organizer does not set a time limit for the contract.

In other words, the written contract of the tournament is valid until the loser fulfills the promise, and the contract can not be considered invalid until the promise is fulfilled or one of the parties to the written contract dies.

At this point, if there are no exceptions, the School Challenge is a successful conclusion. Xi Kun said this, and then looked at Gu Yanran. Speaking of which......

Mr. Gu has been studying at the academy for about half a year as a student, and he has only been a teacher for a few days, so he must not know much about the school challenge.

If the old man's explanation just now is not detailed enough, or if you have any other questions, you can consult Mr. Gong later.

He is the leader of the pianist group who has won three consecutive ring competitions, and he is already familiar with the rules of the competition to the extent that he can memorize them backwards, and it is more practical to ask him than to ask the old man. ”

Gu Yanran glanced at Gong Yuyi, who was sitting directly opposite, then withdrew her gaze and nodded at Xi Kun. "Yanran knows."

On the side, chess master Mr. Sinan decided to recommend Gu Yanran. "I would like to recommend Mr. Gu to the chess players who participated in the challenge this time.

In the previous school challenge, although I did not participate in one session, I did not win once, which is really unbearable.

Mr. Gu has superb chess skills, if she can participate in the competition on behalf of Shangheng Academy, she will definitely be able to win the championship in one fell swoop! ”

Gu Yanran looked at Mr. Sinan, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely...... This Si Nansheng, why did you drag her into the water?

Mr. Sinan had the wishful thinking of letting Gu Yanran play as a chess master of Shangheng Academy, although this idea was good, how could other artists easily agree?

"Wait!" The painter Mr. Yin was afraid of being preempted by Mr. Sinan, so he stood up after him. "Mr. Gu is going to compete as a painter of Shangheng Academy!"

Although he didn't want to admit that his painting skills were inferior, but after all, this was the case, and even if he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't play with the face of Shangheng Academy.

In fact, he is the same as Si Nansheng...... He has participated in several sessions of the University Challenge, but he has not been able to win glory for Shangheng Academy.

Now that she finally came to a little girl with extraordinary painting skills, once she participated, she would definitely be able to win the championship, and he naturally wanted to compete with Si Nansheng!

"No way!" Mr. Fang, the calligrapher, objected sharply, not wanting to give up this opportunity to turn over the battle to others. "She wants to compete as a scrivener of Shangheng Academy!

Throughout the ages, only books and literature have the longest history, and what chess, painting, and piano are all later things, how can they compare to the importance of literature?

Therefore, she must compete as a calligrapher, and I will not give in! ”

The calligrapher's words can be regarded as belittling the three arts of shogi, painting, and piano, and he was stunned to offend Mr. Yin, who is a painter, and Mr. Sinan, who is a chess master.

Mr. Yin was annoyed at the first one. "Fang Shanwen, what do you mean by that?!! In this world, the culture is broad and profound, and those poems and songs of yours are the most remarkable? ”

Mr. Sinan frowned. "Mr. Fang, please take back this sentence!"

"......" Gu Yanran was speechless, feeling that she was about to be depressed.

These people are too good at talking to themselves, so no one asks her for her own opinion?

She didn't want to compete at all?!!

Seeing the tension and-for-tat between the three artists, Gong Yuyi just said seven words lightly. "Gu Yanran can't participate in the competition."

As soon as Gong Yuyi's words came out, he immediately attracted the puzzled eyes of everyone around.

"The University Challenge is about the reputation and glory of the institution, but there are examples of institutions hiring people to participate in the competition.

In order to avoid such a situation, the Hanlin Academy has already counted the situation of students and gentlemen in Yeyu's various schools, and formulated a new rule.

Students who participate in the challenge must have been in the government for more than half a year, and the gentlemen of each province participating in the challenge are required to have been in the government for more than one year. Gong Yuyi said this, looking at Gu Yanran. And Gu Yanran ......

She is no longer a student of Shangheng Academy, and it was only a few days ago that she became a gentleman, and she didn't even meet the minimum criteria for the competition, so how could she compete? ”
