In the old conference room, the Nibelungen professors sat at a round table, led by Umile and Diana, discussing the specific rules of the competition.

Will, as vice president of the student council, attended the meeting with Meltia.

The Nibelungen is a tradition-oriented college, which means that there are rules for how many tables and stools there are for meetings.

A turnip and a pit, very helpless, Will is the one who has an extra one, so he can only drag a small bench and sit awkwardly awkwardly.

"This year's competition is different from previous years, with a large number of young and strong people from outside the academy participating in the competition. This invisibly increases many uncontrollable and risk factors. ”

"That's all it takes, these strong people who participated in the competition are all children of the great nobles of the world, and if there is an accident, it is very likely to rise to the diplomatic level. If you let those politicians get involved, things will be a lot more troublesome. ”

"Safety is still secondary, the most important thing is that everyone is here, the competition is about to start, and we don't even know how to compare now?"

.......

The professors were discussing the contest in a rambling manner, and when the room became quiet, everyone looked at the leader Umir, expecting him to come up with an idea.

Because of the treatment of the frost giant, Umir was criticized. He brought down a frost giant, but instead of killing him, forcing him to sign a contract, or even imprisoning him, he just let him go.

As a combat force, giants have great value. As alchemists, giants have great value. Even as medicinal herbs, giants have great value.

Letting go of such a valuable thing in vain is undoubtedly not good for the Magic Guild. Coupled with Umir's usual bohemian style, many people within the Magic Guild have begun to impeach him.

Umir, who was on the cusp of the storm, didn't care at all, and saw everyone looking at him. He turned his head to look at Meltia, who was sitting at the bottom of the table, and asked, "Are you ready for the preliminary work for the competition?"

Meltia nodded and said, "It's all ready, and the missions of the various countries have already arranged accommodation." It's just that the competition regulations are not easy to arrange. In the past, the magic competition was conducted by students from various departments in the academy, and the number of students was determined according to the proportion. But now, a large number of people from outside the academy participate in this competition, and there are too many uncontrollable risks. If you still take a one-on-one competition, then the whole game will be too long. ”

"After all, these are all good things you do!"

Professor Diana, who had always been quiet, glanced at Umir and said angrily. If Umir hadn't agreed to let people from outside the academy participate in the competition, things wouldn't have gotten so bad.

"Hahaha! Isn't it interesting to have the young and strong people of the entire continent gather together to compete?" Umir laughed heartlessly.

"But if it is the way it is in the past, I am afraid that this event will be held for more than half a year, which is too long. When the time comes, let all the participants gather at the venue. Those who can survive half an hour in my ice realm and still stand up will enter the finals. ”

"Don't mess around. Diana said dissatisfiedly: "If you follow your method, this competition will be over in a few hours." ”

"Then draw lots for their competition, divide them into dozens of teams, and play on the same stage. The winner of each team participates in the final. ”

"It's a good idea, but it's still a bit of a problem. ”

At this time, an old professor with a full face opened his mouth and focused everyone's eyes on him.

"This competition is not only a competition within the academy, but also a competition between countries. If in the finals, the number of young powerhouses from the northern countries overwhelms our Magic Alliance, then there is undoubtedly no brilliance on our faces. But if it's the other way around, then let others say that we are unfair. So the best way to do this is to match the number of young powerhouses in the finals of our Magic League, preferably slightly more on our side. Therefore, I propose to make a slight change to Professor Umir's suggestion, and we will divide the list in advance, and separate the people who may collide as much as possible, so as to ensure that the strongest people from all countries can enter the finals smoothly. ”

Oh, I'll go, this old cow! It seems that the unspoken rule is a cultural heritage shared by all creatures in all planes, regardless of race, country, civilization or even the world! Will dragged the small bench and sat on the side and sighed.

"Let's do it!"

.......

When the meeting was over, only Umir and Diana were left in the room.

"Umir, this is not an easy match. According to the intelligence within the guild, both the Lenelod Empire and the Romanov Empire secretly sent a large number of spies to Valen and nearby regions in the name of this competition. I'm afraid that their participation in the competition is fake, and they want to find out if the Duke of Badr is real. ”

Umir smiled and said, "Their purpose is obvious. No matter which power in the north gets hold of that bastard, it can control the situation and gain huge benefits. It's just that the Duke of Badr, who is hidden in the mist, is really a little exciting. ”

"Haven't you checked?"

"Of course I did! How could I not have looked into such an interesting thing. But nothing came of it. ”

"Can't even you find out?" said Diana, with some surprise, knowing that Umir looked bohemian, but he was a thoughtful man.

"After the Bloody Moon turmoil, I checked the files of all the colleges of the Magic Alliance, trying to filter him out of the students who enrolled at that time, but I still didn't get an answer. There are only two possibilities, either this Duke of Badr is not with us at all, or he is much more cunning than you think. However, looking at the current situation of Lenillord and Romanov, the latter is more likely. ”

"The guild has been under a lot of external pressure lately, and there have been constant internal voices, and there have been proposals to kick you out of the position of the twelve-chief, but your Majesty Nanna has suppressed you. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured!"

.......

"Will, did you pestering me to bring you over to the meeting, did you achieve your purpose?"

The two walked down the secluded aisle, and Meltia asked.

"For what purpose?"

Will said with an innocent face.

"Come along, don't you just want to find out the specific details of this competition?"

Meltia stopped, turned to look at Will, leaned forward gracefully, and pointed at him. The coercion shown as the student president made Will look like a little victim at the moment.

"Haha! You really know me!"

"Are you sure?" asked Meltiapin's eyes, with a hint of ripple.

"Of course, with their current arrangement, I have no problem making it to the final. ”

"What about the champion?"

"It's also very certain!"

"Okay! I'll tell you something!" Meltia straightened up and looked at Will with a serious expression.

"What?"

"I plan to participate in this competition too!"

"What!" Will screamed, at a loss for a moment, and asked, "What are you trying to keep your first kiss?"

Meltia glanced at Will, "You know so much!"

"Haha!" Will was a little embarrassed, changed the subject, and said, "What is that for?"

Meltia took a deep breath and said, "In order to find an opponent worth chasing for the rest of my life, and I hope that the last person standing in front of me is you!"

After Meltia finished speaking, she turned and left, leaving Will stunned.

After a long time, Will reacted and hurriedly chased after the figure of Meltia who was about to disappear.

"Wait, eldest sister, how about we discuss it again? Don't be impulsive!"
