Chapter 211: The Rise of the Dark Horse
......
"This young man ......"
President Wood frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and summoned the magician who was in charge of managing the student registration information and the registration information of the contestants of the Truth Conference.
"Alan, do you know where this young man came from?"
"President Qiyu, this young man ...... He ...... "The middle-aged magician looked embarrassed, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the Royal Holy Magister Andrew and Ice Plague Iswell next to him.
Seeing his hesitation, President Wood's heart sank, and his expression suddenly became stern: "Don't be taboo. Say. ”
The middle-aged magician's heart jumped, and he immediately didn't dare to hide it anymore, bowed his head and said honestly: "President, this Lawrence Cambuur used to be a student of our academy, but he was persuaded to retire a few years ago because he repeatedly failed the theoretical assessment. ”
"What?"
Hearing the word "persuasion," President Wood suddenly had a lot of bad conjectures in his heart, and his face suddenly turned pale. If that's what he suspected, then ......
"Hypocrisy. Ice Calamity Iswell sneered, his serpent-like eyes flashing with sarcasm, "At this level, the theoretical assessment is not qualified? Heh~"
Lawrence's experience reminded him of the exclusion and humiliation he had suffered in the academy, and this "heh" was even more chilling and meaningful.
"Shut up! The affairs of the academy are not yet your turn to be evaluated as an outcast who has long been expelled from the academy. ”
Andrew glanced at Iswell coldly, then turned his head to look at President Wood, and said in a mocking tone: "Wood, this is what you call fairness and justice, giving a chance to all who are willing to pursue the truth?"
President Wood's face was unusually ugly.
He didn't expect that the magic academy that he had always been proud of would have such a scandal.
However, unlike Andrew and Iswell, he knew the tutors in the college well, saying that they were negligent about the students' personal circumstances, but he did not believe that they deliberately created false grades to expel people from the college.
However, the truth of the matter is not something he can decide by thinking about it.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Andrew and Iswell, and made a solemn promise: "The situation is still unclear, everything is just speculation, and it is not enough to judge the following." Later, I will send someone to find out the truth, and I will naturally give this student an explanation at that time. ”
Jimmy didn't want to get involved in their argument and didn't say anything, just glancing at the big screen from time to time so as not to miss the change in rankings.
At this time, his face suddenly changed: "Stop arguing! Look! That Lawrence has risen again!"
The three bigwigs looked stunned, and quickly turned their heads to look at the big screen.
I saw that Lawrence Cambuur, who was still ranked 30th just now, has squeezed into 20th place at this moment.
Moreover, he has risen rapidly, and even at this time he does not show any fatigue. Soon, he rose up the rankings again, overtaking the previous player to 19th, then 18th, 17th, and 16th......
However, in just a short period of effort, he actually surpassed the good seedlings carefully cultivated by those academies and the Royal Mage Regiment, and squeezed into the top ten.
The top 10 is a threshold, and the players who can enter the top 10 are all geniuses, at least in terms of magic theory. Moreover, it is not enough to have talent, but also to have careful training and the hard work of the students themselves.
Laurence Cambuur's ability to squeeze into the top 10 was a complete surprise to everyone.
On the rostrum, the three bigwigs looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while.
At this time, not only on the rostrum, but also the spectators around Xingyue Lake who were nervously following the game also noticed Lawrence Cambuur, whose ranking suddenly soared.
"Huh, who's this Lawrence?"
"To be able to squeeze into the top ten, side by side with those geniuses, the theoretical strength should be very strong, right, how have you heard of it completely?"
The expressions of the crowd were surprised and there was a lot of discussion.
Unfortunately, Lawrence Cambuur has not been passed on for a long time, and it has not yet had time to make a name for himself, and almost no one in the professionals watching the game has heard of his name. Even if there are occasional impressions of the name, they can't believe that this person on the big screen will be the Lawrence they know.
For a while, everyone turned to each other and had a great curiosity about this dark horse that suddenly appeared. Everyone unconsciously began to focus on the name.
Next to the podium, Liliana clasped her hands to her chest and looked at the rankings on the big screen in deep thought.
In the midst of all the attention, the ranking on the big screen was refreshed again.
This time, the name of Lawrence Cambuur appeared in fourth place!
"Wow~"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Even the many magicians on the podium who were paying attention to Lawrence's name were stunned. It was suddenly promoted from 10th to 4th place, which is too fast!
You know, in the top 10, although the points gap between the rankings and the rankings has become very small, the competition is more intense. Because none of the people who can squeeze into this ranking are weak, everyone is a genius, everyone is desperately answering questions, how difficult is it to surpass?
How is it possible that Laurence Cambuur seems to be completely unaffected, and his ranking is still soaring?
He must have skipped the simple questions with low scores in the front and directly did the difficult questions with high scores in the back. Royal Holy Magister Andrew asserted, "Otherwise, you won't be able to explain the situation at hand." ”
"Not necessarily. Ice Disaster Iswell sneered, "He had a low ranking in the early stage, so he must have done the problem first, and now he has started to do simple questions to brush up points." ”
The topics of the audition for the Truth Conference have always been from easy to difficult, and this is used to widen the gap between the contestants. The two of them actually raised the bar with this question.
President Wood gestured to the magician in charge of controlling the magic eye, and the voice commanded, and one of the magic eyes immediately turned to Lawrence Cambuur, who was in the examination room.
The next moment, the figure of Lawrence Cambuur appeared on a huge magical water curtain.
In the picture, the young magician is immersed in the question, his eyes are focused and his expression is serious, and the quill pen in his right hand "rustles" across the page, almost without a moment's pause.
The correct answer is then entered into the crystal ball.
"Not bad~" Jimmy glanced at it, and couldn't help but look approving, "This question needs to use the conclusions and part of the formula in the book "The Efficiency and Consumption of Magic Transmission between Different Media" written by the tutor, and the classroom of the academy will not talk about it so deeply, and ordinary magicians will not dabble in it at all, so it is difficult for him not to be stumped." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the three bigwigs beside him, and couldn't help muttering: "Looking at the speed of this kid's problem solving, there should be a lot of potential to be tapped." He's not going to squeeze down the three of you proud disciples, right?"
"Impossible!"
Three unequivocal voices sounded almost simultaneously.
The three bigwigs turned their heads and glared at Jimmy in unison, their eyes fierce and threatening.
Jimmy was taken aback and stared at the three men who were in unison for the first time.
After a long while, he calmed his heart and said weakly: "It's impossible, it's impossible, why do you react so much?"
The three bigwigs didn't expect the three of them to react exactly the same, and they looked at each other for a while, all a little embarrassed.
"Hmph~ Opportunistic means can make people shine for a while, but if you want to squeeze into the top three, you still have to rely on hard power. The Royal Holy Magister Andrew tilted his head in disguise and said disdainfully, "This kid named 'Lawrence' is good, but that's it. It's up to him to squeeze into the top three, unless ......"
However, before he could finish his words, the ranking on the big screen suddenly changed again.
I saw that Lawrence Cambuur, who was originally in the fourth place, suddenly jumped to the third place, and Prince Charles, who was originally in the third place, fell directly to the fourth place!
The words in Andrew's mouth came to an abrupt end, and his haughty expression froze on his face.
There was an unspeakable embarrassment in the air.
Jimmy glanced at Andrew with strange eyes, and then glanced at the other two big guys, and couldn't help but silently complain in his heart: I don't know who it is, just now I said categorically that it was impossible......
It took a while for Andrew to react violently and blurt out in disbelief: "How is this possible?!"
Prince Charles was taught by him, and he couldn't be clearer about the level of magic theory. How could he lose to a magician from a wild road?!
President Wood and Ice Plague Iswell couldn't help but frown fiercely, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in their originally determined hearts.
I thought that the championship was just a competition between the three of their disciples, but I didn't expect a dark horse to run out. If this Lawrence Cambuur really catches up, then this gamble between them will not become a joke?
On the rostrum, the atmosphere was a little frozen for a while.
On the field, Charles Springhall took advantage of the gap between answering questions to look up at the rankings, and suddenly found that something was wrong.
He actually fell to fourth place!
Moreover, the one who pressed on top of his head was actually an unknown magician!
From childhood to adulthood, Prince Charles was the best of his peers, growing up with thousands of praises. He can tolerate a momentary defeat, but he will never tolerate failure.
An unknown magician also wants to press on his head, dreaming!
Prince Charles's eyes darkened, and his mind was focused to the extreme in a moment, and he quickly turned to the next question to start solving it.
This time, he solved the problem faster than ever.
......
Time passed bit by bit.
With the rise of Lawrence Cambuur and the rise of Charles, the race for the top four quickly heated up, and the atmosphere in the Truth Conference hall became increasingly tense.
The magicians in charge of controlling the magic eye and the water curtain noticed this, and tacitly switched their perspectives, aiming the magic eye at the four protagonists in the fierce competition, Prince Charles, Lawrence Cambuur, and Ben Stuart and Karen Glacier, who are also favorites to win the championship.
In an instant, the high-definition picture of the four people appeared in the water curtain.
Everyone's attention was unconsciously drawn to these four people, nervously watching their performance and rankings. Before I knew it, there was silence inside and outside the entire Truth Conference.
