279 The Battle of Ideas I
"What is your purpose in learning magic?" Elsa asked first.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, she continued: "This is a very broad topic, and the answers from the individual, from the ideal, from the feelings, from the humanities, from the philosophy, from the country, from all angles are different. Of course, I don't want to test that question here.
Here, we believe that the most primitive purpose of learning magic is to make yourself stronger and become a strong person on the famous side, so the second question is very simple and straightforward, let's compare who has the strongest magic?
Of course, you need to pay attention to one point, this is a more creative stage, victory or defeat is an important reference indicator, but it is not all indicators, we want to see an eclectic way of fighting, it tests how to play all your strength, how to play at a super level, how to subvert the traditional judgment of strength and weakness, how to show an efficient and refreshing way of fighting?
Do this, and even if you lose the duel, you may win the match. ”
After listening to Princess Elsa reveal the second test question, as soon as she finished talking about the basic rules of the game, many apprentices have shown an eager attitude, and they can't hold back their flying emotions and want to perform in front of the big guys.
There is no doubt that this is the most eye-catching stage of the year, and for many poor students and small aristocrats, there is a hidden opportunity to ascend to the sky.
For the delegations of various forces, both excited and apprehensive, duels are the most intuitive way to show the strength and weakness of the comparison, people often use the victory or defeat of the apprentices to measure the strength of the two forces, although they have confidence in their chosen apprentices, but also faintly worried that there are some strange geniuses hidden in other teams.
"Wow, the flower grower, this is a bit miserable!" Bruce shrugged and smiled at Charlie, "You'd better pray right away, don't run into me in the first round, or you'll be ashamed, you might as well tell you that my Princeson level has reached level 10!"
Without waiting for Charlie to respond, Peter on the side couldn't hold back his temper anymore, and he sneered: "Ouch! Level 10! That's a surprising level! You show off your level in front of the apprentices of the Arcane Ring, I'm afraid you'll feel a pain in the face later!"
Bruce retorted, "It's not just level 10, but also our family's median bloodline, Moon Shadower, don't be so complacent!"
Peter raised his head slightly to signal the sky, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that it's noon, not night, even if it's night, the power of your bloodline has to play a role under the bright moon and starry sky, it's better to do this, when you can't beat the opponent, you run out of the hall, maybe you can find a chance to turn the tables." ”
Bruce glared at him fiercely, "Peter, you will pay for your arrogance!"
Peter smiled and said, "A lot of people have said that, but I've been saying it all the time. ”
Charlie said coldly: "That's because when you meet an opponent you can't beat, you will not hesitate to retreat, and you don't even want to be cheeky." Peter, we still haven't fulfilled that promise! You brought out your teacher and almost killed me, this account should be settled!"
Peter's face changed, and he snorted softly, "Wait until you touch me!"
Hearing this, Bruce thinks highly of Charlie, not only because he is angry with himself, but also because Peter seems to be faintly afraid of him.
At this time, the hearty laughter of the champion William came from the side, and there was still no one around, "With me, all of you can consider competing for the second and third places!"
His boasting, of course, went unheeded.
"Oh! Your team members are elite apprentices selected from major academies, with talent, background, and resources. The selection of people in the church is more rigorous, not only in terms of talent, but also in terms of faith.
But the contestants of our Millennium Magic Newspaper are all editors and writers selected from the newspaper, and they are all pens who never hold a staff, so what can we do?" Elsa scratched her head and whined, causing laughter from the audience, daring to show her true temperament on such an occasion, probably only she could do it so casually.
Some people even hid in the crowd of the stands and shouted, "Who the hell is you, don't lie to me!"
There was another burst of laughter, and Elsa, who was accustomed to big scenes, rarely showed a shy look, and quickly announced the rules of the game, pushing the program into the competition stage.
The rules of the game are very simple, nine teams elect one person to participate in the competition, catch the fight, nine into five, five into three, three into two, two into one, there are three byes, the bye automatically enters the next round, by the judges to determine the winner, the winner can enter the follow-up competition, and finally the jury according to the performance of everyone in each game, uniformly give the corresponding points, of course, the more opportunities to show your face, it is easier to get a high score.
Aisha especially emphasized that the outcome of the duel cannot determine the outcome of the game, and the final ranking cannot completely determine the individual points, the most important thing is to come up with some refreshing fighting methods and break through the existing combat thinking, which is the connotation of this competition.
Then, the draw will begin, with one bye in the first round and four matches at the same time.
Charlie's excellent performance in the last game and the attention of many people have somewhat boosted the confidence of the Millennium Magic Newspaper.
In the stands, a middle-aged man said with a smile: "It's good now, the four major magic guilds have so much friction every year, and every time the losing side can find some high-sounding reasons, I'm afraid it won't work this time, right? ”
"You have a point, but I'm more concerned about the collision between the Arcane Ring and the Imperial Academy Alliance, and it has always been rumored in the Imperial Capital that the name of the 'Magic Temple' does not live up to its true name, but it has a first-mover advantage that is decades ahead, it has recruited the best students in the mainland, and it has implemented such a wolf strategy with such a high elimination rate, so it can barely maintain the current results. If it were operated by the Imperial Academy Alliance, it might not have to cost so much to achieve the same results.
Now, here's an opportunity for an open and fair comparison, Logan, you're also in the education system, wouldn't it be more interesting for them to collide?!" his friend disagreed.
Listening to the judgment of the two, the old man next to him couldn't help but speak: "This kind of performance event does have a lot of highlights, but what I am most concerned about is the collision between magic and the church, since the last holy war, the small actions behind the two worlds have continued, but there is almost no battle on the table, I want to see how big the gap is after these two beasts have been running wild on their respective paths for many years."
From a higher point of view, this is also a kind of temptation for both sides, from which the bigwigs can see each other's strengths and weaknesses, in some cases it can promote the common progress of both sides, and in some cases it may also lead to an all-out war.
Isn't that interesting, you say?"
Hearing the old man's last words, the two people in front of them were startled, thought about it, and thought it was true, they turned their heads one after another, looked at the direction where several big guys were, and showed a thoughtful attitude.
"Edward, which team do you think will win the game?" asked Charles the Great, leaning back in his chair, the Prince of Wales.
The prince thought for a moment and muttered, "I think Charlie has a big chance of winning. ”
Charles's eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "Well, why do you have so much faith in him? Isn't he a kid obsessed with studying plants?"
The Prince of Wales replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, Charlie is an apprentice in magic in the Arcane Ring, and in the last round of demonstrations, he also released two sixth-order magic with his own hands. ”、
"Well, that's the case. Charles shook his head and smiled, and said, "I was attracted by the grafting technique, I didn't pay attention to this detail for a while, I can use the sixth-order spell so lightly, so he does have some magical attainments!"
"I like him a lot with my children, especially my daughter Qianxue, to the point of worship......"
Qian Xue Qiao blushed and said, "Daddy, you are preaching people's privacy again, a decent gentleman usually doesn't do that." ”
"Qianxue, your father told your uncle that it doesn't mean exposing privacy. Charles laughed, then looked at the prince and asked, "That's not enough to make this judgment, is it?"
"Your Majesty, Charlie's great confidence is that he single-handedly thwarted a group of enemies, including Rubick of the Royal Magical Society, and lifted his classmate to the seat of the Lord of Faro, all witnessed by my personal bodyguard, Avida.
I think that a young man who is brave and resourceful and decisive in killing may be able to bring us some surprises!"
What the?
A trace of shock flashed in Wei Ning's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Charlie is already able to deal with the Grand Magister?!"
The Prince of Wales smiled: "Of course not, but the courage to fight, what really relies on Avida's deterrence." ”
Hearing this, Wei Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Jue added: "Charlie is such a person who is not afraid of power! In the past, in the academy, he dared to defy Mr. Ferrinand of the Bright Law Venerable, and was almost crushed to death by him with his mental power!"
"Oh!" Charles smiled with interest, "let's see for ourselves, this young man is really interesting, no wonder Elsa finds him." ”
At this moment, the results of the lottery in the field were already clear.
Bruce VS Charlie (Roland Guild Team VS Millennium Magic Team)
Saints vs Willian (Church of the Blades vs Astar Mage League)
Blue Pupil VS Ryan (Arcane Ring VS Imperial College Alliance, Raphael Academy)
Michelle VS George (Solomon Society VS Church of Light)
On behalf of the Royal Society of Magic, Vonster drew a white ball to represent a bye in the first round.
Peter smiled at Charlie with empty hands: "It's a pity, Qing Tong played on our behalf, but it's a pity that you missed another opportunity." ”
Charlie sneered, "I never say hello to shameless guys. ”
Bruce sighed and said, "I really ran into you, I don't know if it's your bad luck or my bad luck." ”
