Chapter 474: Drawing lots
After some reminders, everyone swept away the relaxed and happy atmosphere before, but Shaoyang felt that it was necessary and did not regret it, after all, it is better to worry now than to be tortured by Malthus after recklessly playing the field.
Before they chatted, they arranged soundproof barriers around them, so that the content of the conversation would not be heard by the other freshmen who participated in the competition.
At this time, the nineteen freshmen in the lounge were grouped together, exactly like after the end of the second round of competition.
Shaoyang: The eight of them occupy almost half of the places.
Malthus took two of his men, Denton and Flower, and Nobu Kuroki was with them.
Carol and Chun Yu Jingyao, as well as Carol's companions Zinia and Nichol
The last group is Chapman and Albert plus his companion Comb.
The lounge is located next to the ring, and like the VIP boxes, it is only reserved for the new students participating in the ring.
"All the freshmen who participated in the ring match, hurry up to the stage to draw lots. "An Overseer guard opens the door to the break room and informs them to go to the ring.
They stopped chatting and left the lounge and walked into the ring.
As they appeared, the arena immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and some people could be heard frantically shouting the names of their favorite freshmen.
Malthus's popularity is the most immense, after all, his fame has long been spread in the academy, coupled with the mystery in the past, so that many people pay attention to him, and it is not young men and women who have become his fans, especially after seeing Malthus's appearance, he has become even more crazy.
Malthus's handsomeness is not inferior to his talent, and he is not as rough as the ordinary warriors, although his figure is also tall and mighty, but he is a little more elegant, which is completely in line with the appearance of the prince charming in the girl's heart, and he can't go crazy if he doesn't want to.
In the past two days, Shaoyang has also become famous, but after all, the time is short, and the people who are not from the academy have not seen the scene of Shaoyang fighting against six with their own eyes, so they are somewhat suspicious, and the momentum of shouting Shaoyang's name is not small, but it is still worse than Malthus.
The format of the draw is very simple, there is a box in the ring, which contains nineteen small balls with numbers, which ball is drawn to get the corresponding number, and then the battle is played according to the numbered order.
No. 1 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. No. 4, and so on, and finally No. 19, because only nineteen people participate in the ring match, they can have byes and directly advance to the top ten.
There are actually many people who have opinions about such a simple and crude rule formulated by Charles, but the people who can influence Charles don't care about the ranking of one or two people in the freshman challenge, at most it has to do with who wins the first place in the end, and the rest of the people, even if they have opinions, they can't make Charles change his mind, so they can only accept this reality.
They didn't even specify the order of the lottery, it was all up to the nineteen people at will, and Shaoyang consciously walked last.
That lottery box is an alchemy item, which can shape the spiritual power of the magician, and it is impossible for the Dharma Saint to perceive the number on the ball in the box through spiritual power, but it can't stop Shaoyang's spiritual sense.
Almost at the first time, I saw the ball inside clearly, when the lottery was drawn, I could take away the 19th, I always felt like cheating, not very glorious, if I took back the spiritual sense, deliberately took other numbers, and it seemed that I was too stupid, just wait for the last draw, and there was no need to be entangled.
Because Shaoyang deliberately walked a few steps slower, his companions were puzzled, but they also fell behind the others.
Malthus took the lead and was the first to draw numbers.
No. 9;
Nobu Kuroki, No. 2;
Denton, No. 6;
Flower, No. 18.
Just a little bit, Flower was able to draw the No. 19 with a bye and go straight into the top 10.
But it's almost bad, and if he wants to continue to advance, he must beat his opponent and not sit back and enjoy it.
Regardless of the regret for Flower, the draw continued, and Chapman and the three of them went on to play one after another.
Albert, No. 1, will face Nobu Kuroki in the first game, which is also the first matchup of the seventh-level strength freshmen.
Chapman, No. 11;
Come, No. 3;
"Teacher, can we exchange numbers?" Chapman did not step down, and asked the host teacher directly, which immediately caused an uproar.
Although it has not yet been determined who the 12th is, the probability of encountering a freshman with a strength of less than the seventh level is also seven out of twelve, Chapman wants to directly confront the seventh-level warrior Kuroki Shin, this move is puzzling, and only a few people who know the grudge between Chapman and Kuroki Shin understand the deep meaning.
", you can't afford to mess around with the Freshman Challenge. The presiding teacher was not angry and waved them off the stage.
Chapman still refuses to give up and wants to continue fighting, but is pulled down by Albert.
In contrast, the four of them, Carlo and Chun Yu Jingyao, don't have so much to do.
Carlo, No. 5;
Chun Yu Jingyao, No. 13;
Zenia, No. 17;
Nicol, 10, will face Malthus.
In the end, only Shaoyang and a group of eight people remained.
Shaoyang still refused to draw lots first, so Raman made the first, No. 4.
After getting the number, Raman frowned slightly, the number 4, in their hometown, is not an auspicious number, but they instantly forgot about it, and secretly laughed at their superstition, the ring competition, the competition is a personal combat strength, and it is not blessed by the gods.
Paul took the No. 12, which was unfortunate to become another seventh-level strength freshman matchup.
Shao Zhengye, No. 7, Feng Wan No. 8, the Feng family brothers and sisters did not meet, but their own people met, and, judging from the remaining numbered people, Shaoyang and a group of them, there must be a civil war.
Feng Jing and Ma Ji meet, 15 and 16 respectively;
Bu Qingyuan against Shangchun Yu Jingyao, No. 14;
After these results came out, everyone looked at Shaoyang with strange eyes, Nos. 1-18 were all drawn, and the only one left could only be No. 19, which had a bye.
After going through the motions, he took out the last ball in the box, which said No. 19, and Shaoyang got a bye and went directly into the top ten.
Back in the lounge, facing the blessing of his companions, Shaoyang touched his nose embarrassedly, he had deliberately left it until the last draw, but he didn't expect to win the lottery, it was really...
Thinking of my past experience, I understand that this is related to my own system, and it is estimated that during this time, I happened to be lucky, otherwise I would not have gotten a bye.
In addition to the four of Malthus, the people of Carol and Chapman's teams congratulated Shaoyang, if it was someone else, they might still feel jealous, thinking that he was promoted by luck, but now it is Shaoyang who has a bye, they are not jealous, with Shaoyang's strength, even if they don't have a bye, promotion is almost a certainty.
