Chapter 182: Shooting Competition
Kelsey's flawless official language drew a successful end to the opening match of this Games.
It was probably the conscience of the referee team leader that finally let Su Wen, the referees who accompanied him, take a break for a while. Su Wen also sat on the flower stand next to the finish line, watching the students who still hadn't given up crossing the line, bored in a daze.
Even though the time limit for finishing the race has already passed, and even if no one keeps track of their results, most of the students have not given up on finishing the race.
Of course, these students almost gritted their teeth and persevered in the final section of the road, and their physical strength and other physical energy were already on the verge of zero, so naturally there were no wonderful sprint shots to watch.
Even the light screen of the live broadcast began to scroll through the wonderful footage just now and the announcement of the next game.
Marlena is one of those students.
Sweating profusely, her whole person seemed to be quite desperate, and every step almost exhausted all her strength, but the remaining consciousness could still maintain the stability of the route, but her body was a little fluctuating, as if she would fall to the ground in the next step.
But she persevered.
Su Wen noticed that Marlena's original bun didn't know when it had been loosened. But she was tied up in a random little tug, hanging behind her head, swaying with her steps.
"Yes, within four hours. Su Wen stood up, picked up the towel and water in hand, and handed it to Marlena, who was supporting her thighs with both hands and panting after crossing the line.
But Marlena was too uncomfortable, and it took a while for a while before she raised her head and looked at Su Wen. Then he took the towel and water and straightened up.
After strenuous exercise, it is not advisable to rest immediately, and this is something that Marlena still knows.
Su Wen didn't bother Marlena, just waited on the side.
After a long while, Marlena finally recovered, but still maintained a high frequency of breathing, and said thank you to Su Wen.
Although she knew that Su Wen had a magical magic that could restore fatigue, Marlena didn't want to ask Su Wen for help at this time, because this feeling after doing her best was a rare experience for her, wouldn't it be a pity to give up like this?
Su Wen probably guessed her thoughts, so she didn't mention this stubble, just waited by the side and gave Marlena the necessary help.
“...... That's right...... Is the shooting competition about to start?"
"It's just past dinner, and there's less than an hour to go. Su Wen estimated the time: "If you eat again, it should be too late." ”
"I probably can't eat anything......" Marlena shook her head, moistened her towel with water, and wiped her face, "Now I have to go to the game." ”
The comprehensive department is really hard.
So accompanied by Su Wen, Ma Lina rushed to the shooting arena "non-stop". During the time that Su Wen was waiting for Marina, the others had already had lunch, and like Kelsey, they might even have taken a shower and changed their clothes.
Because of the presence of foreign guests on the first day, the students were restricted from moving, and Marina's younger siblings could not come to cheer for their sister.
Even Su Wen didn't see Ellie's shadow.
Presumably mixed in with the crowd of the class, crazy and idle, right?
Shooting competitions are a traditional sport in the Areno Empire. As early as ancient times, shooting was an indispensable skill for human beings, whether it was against monsters or fighting battles, the accuracy of shooting was the key to human survival.
Therefore, people who are good at shooting will also be admired and worshiped by everyone.
There are three types of shooting: magical, physical, and hybrid.
As the name suggests, the first two items are simple magical precision and long-range offensive methods such as bows and arrows and throwing knives, while hybrid shooting is a project that combines the two. Compared with the simple two events, it is easier to operate, but the difficulty of the competition has also been greatly improved.
Fortunately, in this competition, the rules of the comprehensive department are still relatively humane, and you only need to choose one of them to participate.
Marlena chose the physics project.
In terms of magic, Marlena really can't do it, and the mixed item is a place where the gods fight, and if she goes, she is looking for abuse.
In contrast, in terms of physics, it is the most suitable for Marina.
Don't look at Marina's mediocre strength, but in the skill of archery, she has an excellent level.
After all, the godfather and godmother who raised her for ten years are the elite scouts of the Snow Eagle Knights under the Duke of Snow Castle. Archery is one of their old professions!
The shooting competition is not a project that Su Wen wants to participate in, so he can stand outside the circle with peace of mind and be an audience honestly.
At this time, the venue has already begun to check in.
Here, Su Wen also found several familiar faces participating in the competition.
In addition to a few people from the General Department, Barot is also in the check-in queue for magic projects. Since the two sides are separated, the two sisters can only say hello from a long distance and cheer each other on.
Along with Ballot in the magic event, Kelsey, the girl who won the long-distance running event, was standing quietly in the queue, holding a book that was not thick in her hand, and at her waist, carrying her small leather satchel specially designed for books.
Seeing that Marlena was getting more and more forward with the queue, Su Wen greeted her, and after that, she began to wander around the venue.
The venue of the shooting competition is an area enclosed by the small school field, with a uniform distance, and they are all fixed-point shooting. From this point of view, the competitive significance of this competition is much higher than the actual combat significance.
Similarly, this competition was also broadcast live, and the students and teachers of Calamus Academy were busy arranging the broadcast equipment.
This kind of live broadcast equipment is quite expensive, not because of the materials, but because the process is complex, not advanced enough to be mass-produced, and the production cycle is long, so it is expensive. Even in the Imperial Academy, there are only less than ten sets, and there are still special people to take care of them.
Spectators who did not participate in the game gathered in the stands on the side. The guest seats at the front of the stands are still vacant for the time being, and those guests are probably still resting in the lounge at this time.
After a while, Marlena took the number plate and came out.
Su Wen found that her expression seemed to be a little indescribable.
"What's wrong?"
"I ......" Marina's embarrassment was mixed with a slight anxiety, and she was a little slurred: "I ...... Forgot to buy a bow......"
"Clams?"
"Being involved in so many projects...... It's still a bit difficult to cover everything......" Marlena whispered as she spoke.
Su Wen groaned for a while, and then said to Marina: "I'll go get you a bow, and you just stand here and don't move." ”
