Chapter 202: Wu Hui Successfully Advances
Andrew is a powerful Holy Demon Master after all, and after the initial shock again, seeing Charles's focused and calm performance, he was calm for a while, and sneered: "Hmph, I didn't expect the qualifiers to be so intense, and it was really unexpected to force Charles to have to show his real skills." ”
In a word, the backwardness of Prince Charles is defined as "not using real skills".
President Wood frowned, but did not speak.
Sure enough, not long after Andrew's words fell, the ranking on the water screen was refreshed again, and Prince Charles's ranking jumped to the first place.
At the same time, Lawrence Campbuur also completed a question, and his name flashed, and he rose one place again to second place.
On the contrary, Ben Stewart, who has always been in the leading position, was suddenly squeezed to fourth.
"Hehe, sure enough, once Charles gets serious, no one is his opponent. Seeing this, Royal Holy Demon Master Andrew was sure of himself, and his face showed a little pride, "Charles just took out five things before, and we have decided to win the small qualifiers." However, the outcasts of your magic academy are not small, and this time it is really possible to get second, which is not bad. ”
Looking at Andrew's smug appearance, President Wood and Ice Scourge Iswell looked ugly and couldn't help but glance at each other.
If they just lose to each other, although they will feel embarrassed with their pride, they can barely accept it, but they can't accept losing to a wild boy who came out inexplicably.
However, at this moment, the situation has completely escaped their expectations, and it is not something they can control at all. I can only hope that the disciples they have carefully cultivated can compete a little.
The atmosphere on the rostrum suddenly became solemn.
At the venue, seeing the latest rankings, Ben Stuart and Karen Glacier also lost their usual calmness and calmness, and their faces changed slightly.
Even if you lose to Charles, you were actually pressed on top of your head by a little-known wild boy!
Disgrace!
It's an absolute shame!
The continuation of this situation must not be tolerated.
The two of them stared fiercely at the big screen, and quickly buried their heads in the magic crystal ball.
Their fingers slid rapidly over the crystal ball, skipping the low-scoring questions that came to them at random, and looking for the extremely difficult and tricky high-scoring questions to do.
The two of them were extremely focused, and their answering speed increased unconsciously.
Seeing the outstanding performance of his disciple, Iswell couldn't help but sit up straight, with a look of relief on his face: "No matter how the three of us fight, the disciple is the most orthodox education he has received. Once the three of them get serious, the kid named Lawrence will definitely be squeezed down. ”
However.
As soon as his words fell, Lawrence Cambuur, who was in the room below, answered another question and raised his hand to submit the answer.
The light flashed on the big screen, and the ranking was instantly refreshed.
The ranking that caught his eyes made Iswell's eyes pop out, and the smile froze on his face.
"How is that possible?!"
President Wood and Royal Holy Magister Andrew looked at each other, and their expressions changed instantly.
In the venue, Prince Charles, Karen Glacier and Ben Stuart saw the latest rankings on the big screen, and their faces instantly changed color.
I saw the ranking on the big screen, and it was:
First place, Lawrence Cambuur.
Second place, Ben Stuart.
3rd place, Karen Glacier.
Fourth place, Charles Springhall.
Obviously, the three of them have already exerted their strength, but Lawrence not only was not suppressed, but rushed to the first place all of a sudden!
As soon as this ranking came out, the audience by Xingyue Lake was also in an uproar.
"How is this possible?!"
"Oh my God~ That Lawrence actually rose to first place!"
"Dark horse!
"This time, the face of the Royal Magician and the Academy of Magic can be said to have been lost!"
"Where the hell did this kid come from, how can he be so strong?!"
Almost all the audience went crazy, and the students of the School of Magic and the royal magicians were even more incredulous, and their expressions were as if they had seen the undead in broad daylight.
There was a boiling outside the arena, but the atmosphere on the rostrum was so stiff and suffocating that it was suffocating.
"I didn't expect this wild boy to be so powerful. I have to admit that I was blind. Iswell spoke with difficulty, his face still a little embarrassed and incredulous.
However, an ice disaster is an ice disaster after all.
After just one sentence, he adjusted his mood, took a deep breath and said: "However, the point gap between the four of them is very small, and the ranking may be different at the end of the next question." Until the last minute, the outcome is still unknown. ”
President Wood and Royal Holy Magister Andrew nodded silently.
After several previous slaps in the face, none of them dared to swear to pack the ticket again. Exactly how it will be will have to wait until the results come out.
"Attention all players, there are still three magic moons left until the end of the game. All contestants are requested to answer the questions as soon as possible. ”
Suddenly, the voice of the host Wilder sounded in the venue.
When the words fell, all the players in the venue instantly became nervous, and Prince Charles, Karen Glacier, and Ben Stuart also looked awe-inspiring.
The ranking just now is enough to prove that the kid named Lawrence is not below them in the slightest! They must cheer up the spirit of 120,000 points.
Three magic moons are barely enough to do a question. And the point difference between them and Lawrence is only 1~2 points.
If you want to win the championship, there is only one way left.
The three of them looked at each other and did the same thing almost at the same time: they skimmed through all the previous questions and began to concentrate on solving the one with the highest point value!
Under the effect of a strong sense of urgency, the three of them were full of aura, and the whole person was shrouded in an inexplicable momentum. At this moment, nothing can be disturbed by anyone.
From time to time, the magic eye, which is responsible for recording the live broadcast footage, skimmes over the arena from time to time, dutifully projecting the situation in the arena onto the surrounding water screen.
From time to time, the faces of Lawrence Cambuur, Prince Charles, Karen Glacier, and Ben Stuart crossed the water curtain.
The winner of the qualifiers is about to be decided in this four-person room.
Unconsciously, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense.
On the rostrum, by Xingyue Lake, the entire venue gradually quieted down.
Everyone unconsciously held their breath and waited for the last moment to come. Even the three bigwigs on the rostrum were no longer calm at the beginning, drinking coffee and rubbing their staffs, quietly relieving their tensions.
On the contrary, Jimmy Gaunt is in a very calm state, although Wu Hui is not seen in the rankings yet, but if everyone fails, then this game is considered a draw, and he has nothing to lose anyway.
"Or, let's all guess, who will be the first?" he looked left and right, and couldn't help but propose.
The three bigwigs snorted coldly, and no one paid attention to him.
Things have developed to this point, and none of them have the confidence to dare to say that their disciples can win the first place, and they will only take care of Jimmy if they are stupid.
In the tense waiting, time passed little by little.
Suddenly.
Host Wilder's voice rang out again: "Attention all players, the game time is coming to an end, and the countdown is now on." Contestants who have not finished answering the questions are requested to speed up, and when the competition time expires, the questions that have not been answered will be counted as incorrect. ”
As he spoke, the host Wilder took out the timer and began the countdown.
"Ten. ”
"Nine. ”
"Eight ......"
His voice was steady and calm, however, as the sound of his countdown sounded, the atmosphere on the field became more and more tense.
Almost all of the contestants entered the crazy answering mode with a numb scalp, even the Charles trio was no exception.
They choose the question with the highest score value, and as soon as they solve the answer, the score will immediately soar. The highest point value means the highest difficulty, and if they don't figure out the answer at the end of the countdown, let alone the champion, they will be overtaken by the players behind them.
Before you know it, the countdown has entered the last three magic moon seconds.
Countdown to the last three magic moon seconds.
The three of Charles were still immersed in answering questions.
Countdown to the last two magic moon seconds.
The three of Charles were still immersed in answering the questions, but their hands were moving faster and faster. Because of their hurry, the three of them had completely abandoned the beauty of the handwriting, and the handwriting was so twisted that it was almost about to fly into the sky.
Countdown to the last magic moon second.
The magician, who was originally ranked fifth, finished answering a question, and his ranking suddenly rose two places, squeezing into third place. The three of Charles are still working hard to write.
The hearts of everyone inside and outside the venue were lifted, holding their breath and staring at the picture in the water curtain, and some even held their breath unconsciously. Even everyone on the rostrum couldn't help but leave their seats slightly, staring nervously at the three people in the venue.
Just when everyone thought they were going to be too late.
"Bang~!" "Bang!" "Bang~~!"
Three crisp sounds seemed to explode in everyone's ears, and the three of Charles finally stopped in unison at the last second of the countdown and slapped their palms on the crystal ball to submit the answer.
The next moment.
Swish~
The big screen suddenly went out, and so did the crystal balls on the tables of all the contestants.
On the podium, host Wilde raised his hand and pressed the timer, announcing aloud: "It's time." The game is over. ”
Good risk ~ good risk ~ Inside and outside the arena, everyone who was watching the championship competition unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. The sound of a long exhale suddenly dispelled the already tense atmosphere.
At the same time, as the crystal ball went out, there was a wail in the arena.
"Ah~~~ It's over! I've only done 34 questions, and I'm definitely going to be eliminated......"
"Ahhhhh!!h
"Hahahaha!Catch up!Catch up!I've caught up with my last question!Hahahaha~ Now I'm sure I'll be able to break into the top 100!Hahahaha!"
The emotions of the contestants who held back the whole exam exploded in an instant, hugging their heads and wailing, and laughing wildly, for a while, the whole arena was boiling.
Listening to the ghosts crying wolf howls around him, Wu Hui shook his head with a smile, and couldn't help but recall the situation in the classroom when he took the college entrance examination that year.
How similar was the scene back then to what it is now?
Seriously, in the Truth Conference, 2,000 magicians competed for 100 places in the qualifiers, and the competition was fierce, and it was indeed not much better than the college entrance examination. And the influence of the Truth Conference in the wizarding world is almost the same as the college entrance examination.
In the midst of the commotion, the host announced his exit, and the contestants retreated to the waiting area under the rostrum under the guidance of the relevant staff.
Wu Hui looked around the crowd, reunited with the others, and saw Blake's sluggish appearance, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"
"Big brother, I'm so glad I didn't study magic right now. Blake's eyes were blank and he said weakly, "Magic is too difficult~ I answered a total of ten questions, and I feel that my energy is about to be drained, if I learn these every day, I will definitely go crazy......"
Wu Hui was stunned: "It's okay~ I don't think it's that difficult......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone else looked at them with a "what are you kidding" expression. Even Daniel, who is usually calm, has the same expression.
“......”
Wu Hui noticed that something was wrong, and immediately closed his mouth wisely, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I still have too little experience~ Compared with the college entrance examination, what is the test of this intensity?
What's more, the problem is indeed not particularly difficult, the most difficult is the advanced function, solid geometry, and some complex chemical reactions, etc., can you just do it? Anyway, the result only calculates the total score, and no one cares whether you are partial or not.
However, considering that the knowledge systems of the two worlds are different, he is not easy to explain these, so he can only leave it at once.
After a few words of gossip, Wu Hui returned his attention to the venue. Now that the game is over, it's time for the results to be revealed.
On the podium, Jimmy and the four of them were also waiting for the results to come out.
"The results should be coming out soon, right?" Jimmy has always been impatient in doing things other than experiments, and he became a little impatient while waiting, and couldn't help but talk to the three big guys next to him, "I see that the last three of them have answered the last question, and the final ranking will probably depend on how many steps they answer correctly." ”
The question with the highest score value of the Truth Conference is very difficult, so when calculating the score value, it is not only based on the final result, but according to the steps, 10 points for all correct answers, 6 points for two steps correct, and 3 points for one step correct.
Jimmy said this because of the high error rate of this kind of question, even if it is a normal solution, it is easy to make mistakes in the steps, let alone work hard like the three of them just now.
"Why don't you tell me about the kid you chose?" said Royal Holy Magister Andrew, glancing at him disdainfully, "His name has never appeared in the top hundred. What's the matter? Are you going to let those ten philosopher's stones go down the drain?"
Hearing him say this, Jimmy was also a little weak.
However, it is impossible to admit defeat with a weak heart. He smirked "hehe": "This kind of thing, it's not too late to wait for the ranking to come out." ”
"Heh~"
Andrew sneered.
In normal times, he would definitely have to scold Jimmy a few more words, but he was really not in the mood for this at this time. He cares more about his disciple's situation than the inexplicable junior Jimmy chose.
His eyes swept under the rostrum, and he saw Charles's noble and graceful figure, and asked secretly: "Charles, how sure are you of the last question?"
"Ten percent. ”
Prince Charles looked up at his mentor on the rostrum, with a smile on his lips and full confidence in his eyes.
Andrew's heart was immediately steady.
Charles had always been calm, and when he said that, he must have got the last question right.
While Andrew was communicating with Charles, Ice Plague Iswell and President Wood were secretly communicating with their disciples.
After a brief exchange, the two instructors had a number in their hearts, and their expressions unconsciously relaxed, and they turned to look full of confidence.
Speaking skills, the post-game inspection and review work has ended.
The host Wilde whispered a few words to the magician who was in charge of controlling the water curtain on the main screen, and then walked up to the rostrum with a smile: "Okay." The results of the qualifiers are in. Presumably everyone has been waiting for a while, and without further ado, I will start announcing the results now. The old rule is to start with the 100th-ranked player. ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy venue suddenly fell silent.
Wu Hui stopped talking to the others and instead looked at the main screen above the rostrum.
The contestants around them, who were still crying wolves just now, also quickly quieted down, and one by one they were short of breath and nervous as if waiting for the verdict.
Faintly, Wu Hui also heard the muttering prayers of the contestants next to him: "Bright, my lord, the god of truth...... Ladies and gentlemen, please bless me as I cross the line. Be sure to be in the top 100! Please......"
Wu Hui broke out in a cold sweat.
Brother, according to your request, the gods in the sky will not bless you, and it will be good if you don't condemn you. At least I, the god of light, really wants to kill you~
Everyone was nervously waiting.
......
Suddenly, the names of the last row slowly appeared on the big screen. And the name doesn't come out all at once, but from left to right, first showing the sequence, and then the name appears little by little.
"Come on, let's see, who is the lucky one who just happens to be in the top hundred. The host was vigorous and powerful, and his voice sounded extremely inflammatory.
"Hehe~" A drop of cold sweat appeared on Wu Hui's forehead, these people from the Magic Association are really good at playing, this thing is simply an otherworldly version of the strongest brain, I really suspect that these guys are also time-travelers, and they are also time-travelers who have watched too many variety shows.
Wu Hui, who had no sense of tension, was actually a little uneasy by him, this time he wouldn't really play too slippery, something was wrong, right?
"Brother Wu Hui, I, I'm so nervous. Blake swallowed and grabbed Wu Hui's arm.
"Cut, it's okay to have a little bit of fun. Liliana clasped her hands and said calmly, "If everyone loses, it's a big deal." In her beautiful eyes, there was already a faint surge of war intent, obviously in her estimation, she had not been optimistic about Wu Hui at all.
Daniel Lytton also showed a fierce light in his eyes: "Sister Nana is right, if you can't do it, you can only use force." ”
"Uh......" Wu Hui was speechless, can these guys still have a little confidence in him?
Fortunately, on the screen, the name appeared very quickly.
The hundredth, Wu Hui.
The magic host shouted in frustration: "This name is very awkward, very unfamiliar? How do you pronounce it, it seems to be ...... Wu Hui, let us congratulate him, His Excellency Wu Hui successfully passed the selection competition. ”
"Whew~"
The scene was boiling, and many people cast envious eyes at Wu Hui. Although it seems that this ranking is very embarrassing, this time there are more than 2,000 contestants, and it is quite remarkable to be in the top 100.
"Brother Wu Hui, congratulations, congratulations. Blake and Daniel excitedly congratulated.
Even Liliana cast a strange look at Wu Hui. When she looked horizontally and vertically, she felt that Wu Hui really didn't look like a gentleman who could enter the top 100. But he didn't want to, but he went in.
And Princess Haige, who was already in a slightly better mood, snorted coldly: "Top 100, congratulations, it's amazing." It was clear that she was still haunted by Wu Hui's previous jokes about her.
Wu Hui didn't care, just calmly sighed, squinting his eyes and looking up at the big guys on top.
......
