Chapter 239: Pressure and Motivation I
"But Nashan is going to die!" the captain of the Orange Fox team hugged the team member who had lost his arm, forgetting the etiquette in fear, and shouted at Vice President Sasu.
The silence in the audience was broken by the cry of sorrow, and the realization that maybe he was about to watch his classmates die of blood loss was greatly impacted, and the discussion gradually began and quickly expanded into a boiling trend. But in less than three seconds, the originally boiling water surface was instantly unwavering, just because Sasu made a substantial deterrent move: shaking the Holy Demon Sea.
At this time, Jiao Ming could feel the energy in the Holy Demon Sea tumbling and vibrating endlessly through the magic medium, and he couldn't use the magic medium to draw energy from it stably, that is, although he could barely cast magic, the effect of magic could not be guaranteed. It's like connecting a household appliance to a power supply with a randomly larger and smaller voltage, and it will inevitably burn out directly.
At the autumn harvest celebration in the first year, the crocodile duke used the same skill to subdue the three or four thousand people in the audience, but compared with the two, Jiao Ming felt that the shock of the Holy Demon Sea was more violent at this time.
"What is this joking contest? Ask your elders if there is such a thing as surrender in the war with the Ifusen theocracy? surrender? Keep fighting for me, and divide the winners and losers like a battlefield. Vice President Sasu's roar resounded throughout the audience, and the arena of nearly a thousand people was so quiet that there was only a faint wind whistle.
"I kind of like this old man. Jiao Ming tilted his head and whispered to Binglian, like a primary school student who secretly spoke to his table mate during class. Binglian limped on her elbow and didn't reply.
The trainees in the audience on the periphery of the arena looked at each other, silently communicating with their companions with suspicious eyes, and they were not much better than the few people in the arena who were at the center of the storm, and they were equally at a loss. After an awkward pause, Captain Kargas was the first to move, ran to Cooper's side, whispered a few words of questioning but did not respond, and reluctantly slapped him back to his senses. Cooper said a few words, Kargas commanded the two fire mages to cover the fire, and Cooper ran to the orange fox team that lost his fighting spirit and was still confused, knocked all three awake people unconscious, and tied the three into pigs with a strip of cloth torn from the hem of the gray robe, and by the way, stopped the bleeding of the wounded with a broken arm.
Kargas, on the other hand, plucked up the courage and shouted to Vice President Sasu: "Report to your lordship, capture five members of the enemy reconnaissance team, and ask for instructions on the next step." ”
Vice President Sasu snorted coldly, as if he was not satisfied with this result, but he still turned his head and motioned to the people around him to deal with the follow-up. Kargas lowered his head after shouting the report, and when he heard the snort, his knees bent slightly, but he gritted his teeth and insisted, barely softening.
When cleaning up the mess, Vice President Sassu once again used the method of shaking the Holy Demon Sea to silence the audience, and began to lecture. first scolded him, probably venting his anger at the fiasco of the last battle with the master-apprentice inheritance faction, and then said that he liked the competition system between the two-color robes and uniforms very much, and would give him support. After that, a spatial passage was opened in front of Kargas on the spot, and five metal blocks twenty centimeters square fell to the ground, and rewards were distributed in front of all the students in the audience. Finally, it was announced that the teams that will reach the quarter-finals from the two regions will play together in a mixed manner, and the format and rewards will be used as an example.
And Jiao Ming noticed that in this short lecture, the frequency of swear words became lower and lower, and in the end, it even reverted to a written crepe-like official article, and the overall temperament also changed from an old man with a temper tantrum to a gentle elder.
After the end of the game, in the student union stronghold, the celebration ceremony was interrupted halfway by the escorted orange fox team. The reason why it is said to be an escort is that in addition to the cold-faced powerhouse of the Nine Rings, it is also because these five people have changed into coarse cloth short clothes, and at first glance they look like cleanly dressed coolies. After a moment of coldness, Binglian asked.
"According to the instructions of Vice President Sasu, the punishment mechanism is based on foreign wars, and the defeated will be by the side of the victor as a 'captive' for twenty days, after which the school will pay a ransom to redeem the 'captive'. The strong man of the Nine Rings who was in charge of the escort said coldly, and after saying that, he left the five people and turned to leave, such a cold attitude made no one dare to ask the student union who had countless doubts.
After the escort had been away for a long time, Cooper scratched his head, broke the silence, and said, "What does this mean?"
The crowd immediately began to talk about it. Bing Lian frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a loud voice: "The celebration continues, and a few people will send the five 'guests' to the next door." Then he called the names of a few more strategists, and pulled Jiao Ming out of the room to discuss the matter.
The boisterous sounds of celebration are still clear to the ears despite being blocked by the walls. Binglian, Jiao Ming, Captain Kargas, and six other student council strategists plus five members of the Orange Fox team filled the small room, and compared to the jubilation next door, it was quite dull here. Faced with the continuous questions of the student council, the five members of the Orange Fox team lowered their heads and remained silent, as if they were dead.
"Don't waste time. Binglian waved her hand to interrupt the fruitless questioning, led everyone to the corridor, and said, "There shouldn't be anything to ask, it's better for us to discuss it ourselves." ”
"According to the words of the lord just now, there are 'foreign wars as the standard' and 'prisoners' or something. Cagasdo, who had not spoken, picked up and asked, "How much do you think this is true?" ”
"The front line captures the prisoners, and they are all killed directly after questioning. How can we be like this?" a strategist replied, and then sneered: "There are still five people who are injured, it must be the master of the Nine Rings Water System who took action, this is not the attitude towards the captives. ”
When I brought people over, the injuries had already been checked, and all the wounds of the five members of the Orange Fox Team had healed, not to mention, and the broken arm had also been connected.
There was silence. The thin strategist next to him suddenly smiled, looked at the two strategist girls sitting next to each other, and said, "Why worry too much, the ultimate boss of the academy is Vice President Sasu, whatever he says, we will do it." And the female captive or something, needless to say, everyone understands what will happen. ”
In the face of such harassing words and deeds, the two girls directly responded with powder, but inadvertently brought a little bit of light-hearted joy next door.
"This should be just a temporary punishment for Vice President Sassou, so let's be cautious. After beating his companions, one of the red-haired girls said. Another girl with blond shoulder-length hair also nodded and agreed, "And this condition is too shameful, maybe it will be abolished soon." ”
"Then before it is abolished, wouldn't it be good to use?" the color embryo that was trampled under the feet of the two girls raised his hand to speak, and then was sanctioned again.
"This is a big trouble at all, no matter how we deal with it, Vice President Sassou and those noble children will always be dissatisfied. Kargas sighed sadly, as the most direct party, the dilemma was completely a situation of being grilled on the fire. Jiao Ming looked at this young man from a civilian background, although he was extremely talented and calm and decisive in the arena, but after all, he could not escape some feudal ideological constraints, but it might cause the unhappiness of the superiors, so he was restless and difficult to deal with.
"Looking at the appearance of those five people, I'm afraid they will drop out of school afterwards. Another strategist shifted the subject. The implication is that since we don't see each other in the future, we don't have to worry too much, and it is obvious that I prefer to completely obey Vice President Sasu's orders.
"The children of the aristocracy are protons in disguise, but they don't drop out of school if they want to. The strategist, who initially found that his injuries were healed, retorted.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a different heir of the right age. The last strategist interjected, and at the same time, he was also the only student in the field who wore gorgeous robes except for Binglian and Jiao Ming, and his noble background allowed him to grasp the situation in the big family more accurately: "Such a fiasco and become a 'captive' is already a laughing stock in the aristocratic circle, and staying in the academy any longer will only bring shame to the family." ”
There are frequent wars in this world, and for the magical nobles involved in the war, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and there is no shame in defeat, but after defeat, there is still a shameless normal life, which is the place where taboos are committed. Generally, such a loser can only serve the family as first-line cannon fodder before he personally washes away his defeats.
