Chapter 4: 100 Schools Alliance Competition
Time flies like a white horse, always slipping away quietly without people noticing. Han Feng walked between the academy, the cold drink shop, and the home every day, living a busy and fulfilling life, without noticing the passage of time.
On this day, Han Feng went to the academy as usual, but found that a frenzied atmosphere enveloped the entire academy. If you have to describe it, the students in the college, especially the high-level students in the S-level class and the A-level class, are in an abnormal state of excitement. On the contrary, some low-level students should be more calm.
This strange phenomenon successfully aroused Han Feng's interest. Driven by curiosity, Han Feng decided to ask his classmates what was going on.
As soon as he inquired, Han Feng knew what was going on in the academy. The reason why the students in the academy have become so strange is because of the news: the annual 100-school league competition is about to kick off in two months.
The Hundred Schools Alliance Competition is a large-scale magic competition held by the Xianglong Empire, targeting students in the primary magic academy. The 100 Schools Alliance Competition is a large-scale national event that is valued by the state, and representatives from the major schools of magic will also be present in person. In addition to the great prizes, the best performers will also have the opportunity to receive an invitation letter from the Higher School of Magic.
Unlike the universal education of the Elementary School of Magic, the Higher School of Magic uses an elite education. Only a small percentage of the students who graduate from the Elementary School of Magic are able to enter the Higher School of Magic to continue their studies. Students enrolled in the Higher School of Magic will never be lower than the fourth order when they graduate. However, the first requirement for admission to the Higher School of Magic is to pass the entrance test administered by the Higher School of Magic.
Don't think that the entrance test is simple, for most students in elementary magic academies, the entrance test is simply an insurmountable chasm. The more prestigious the Higher School of Magic, the more difficult the entrance test becomes. Some of the most prestigious schools of higher magic, both at home and abroad, are not sure that even the best students of the elementary magic schools will be able to pass.
However, there is always an exception, and that is the invitation letter from the various higher magic academies. Holders of an offer letter can be admitted directly without the entrance test. However, admission invitations are very rare and only the best students have a chance to get them. This is also the usual method used by the major higher magic academies to attract outstanding talents by taking advantage of the preferential conditions of exemption from examinations.
It has to be said that although these tricks are old-fashioned, they are very effective. Not to mention others, even Han Feng is very moved by this. In particular, after this period of cultivation, his strength finally managed to break through to the second-order high stage a few days ago, and he officially had the strength to compete with the students of the S-level class.
In the past, because he didn't have the strength, Han Feng didn't have much idea about the 100 Schools Alliance Competition. After all, the strength of the middle stage of the second order was not much of a threat to the students of the S-level class at all. Even if you go to participate by yourself, you will not have a chance of qualifying, and you will not even be able to qualify. But now that he has broken through to the second-order high level, his strength is not much worse than that of the students of the S class, so he naturally becomes ready to move.
If you really want to participate in the 100 Schools Alliance Competition, then you must strengthen your training during this time. In this case, there will be no time to go to the cold drink shop. I was going to wait until I graduated, but it looks like I'm going to have to do it sooner. Well, there's not much time left before graduation anyway, so let's not go! Looks like we'll have to find the time to see if we have the right magic equipment. If you don't have equipment, you'll lose in battle. However, magic equipment is generally very expensive, and it is very difficult to buy suitable magic equipment with your own economic conditions, so it is best not to get too hopeful.
After making up his mind, Han Feng began to calculate for himself.
Jianghai Elementary School of Magic also attaches great importance to the Hundred Schools Alliance Competition! According to the past practice, Jianghai Elementary School of Magic will first hold a selection competition in the school to select the students who will participate in the competition. After the selection of the participants, a one-month training will be organized for the participants. And Han Feng's top priority is to improve his actual combat ability as soon as possible, so as to grab a place in the school selection competition.
However, first, you have to sign up for the intramural audition. If you don't sign up, then all of this is impossible to talk about. Thankfully, although there is basically no chance of making it out of the lower classes, almost no one has signed up. However, the college still retains the right to enroll. If the academy restricts registration and only gives registration to students in the advanced class, then Han Feng will really want to cry without tears.
The teacher's office of the Jianghai Primary Magic Academy is located in the central area of the academy, and the instructors spend most of their time in their own offices if they don't have classes. Although Han Feng had been in this academy for almost seven years, this was the first time he had come to this place.
Without the slightest hesitation, Han Feng knocked directly on the door of the office. He is not the kind of person who hesitates when things come to an end, and now that he has decided, he doesn't need to waver anymore. Although he was very nervous in his heart, his eyes did not flinch in the slightest.
"Knock Knock Knock ······" The crisp knock on the door echoed in the silent office building, each sound seemed to knock on Han Feng's heart, making his nervous heart beat with the rhythm.
"Come in. Just as Han Feng plucked up the courage to knock on the door for the second time, a voice of response suddenly came from inside the door.
Take a deep breath and then exhale it slowly. Han Feng took a deep breath to relieve his nervous mood and resolutely pushed open the closed door in front of him.
Materials were piled up all over the office, except for one passage to the desk, which was not blocked by materials. Several large shelves were full, and the walls were also covered with all kinds of strange materials. These materials are large and small, and the types are even more strange, but they are distinct from each other. Han Feng took a closer look and found that the materials on the ground were all ores and the like, and most of the materials on the shelves were the roots, stems and leaves of various plants, or fruits and flowers. However, compared to these things, the materials that are hung on the wall are much more curious. The things that hung on the wall turned out to be part of some animal. Or some kind of organ, or hair, claws, eyes, and all sorts of other parts.
Behind the desk, an elderly magician was busy on his desk. The table was littered with open books and a variety of materials. It seems that the old magician is doing some kind of research. When Han Feng pushed the door in, he didn't even raise his head, still busy with his own affairs, as if Han Feng didn't exist at all.
Han Feng cautiously walked to his desk, careful not to mess with the materials stacked on the ground. Standing in front of the table, Han Feng asked the old magician softly, "Hello, are you Teacher Zhou?"
"Hmm. The old magician, still immersed in his research, said nonchalantly, "I am, what are you doing with me?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou. Han Feng first greeted the old man, and then said his intention: "I am a student in Class 13 of the seventh year. I came here mainly to sign up for the intramural selection competition of the 100 Schools Alliance Competition. Without hesitation or pause, after Han Feng had finished saying everything in one go, he raised his head and stared at the old magician surnamed Zhou.
"Oh?" Mr. Zhou looked up, temporarily taking his attention away from his research. He looked at Han Feng, as if he had found something interesting, and Han Feng was furious in his heart. After a while, Teacher Zhou retracted his gaze, leaned back in his chair and said leisurely, "Class 13 of the seventh year doesn't seem to be a high-level class, right?"
"That's right, the seven-year class of 13 is only a class of C level. Han Feng was stunned for a moment, and then replied honestly. Then he asked Teacher Zhou rhetorically: "However, there should be no limit to registration." As long as you want to, all students in the academy can sign up. ”
"C grade. Teacher Zhou didn't answer, he gently tapped his fingers on the table and asked with interest, "Even the students in the S-level class are not confident that they can make the cuts in the school selection competition. Can you tell me what made you decide to participate in the intramural tryouts?"
"Because I have faith in myself. Without the slightest hesitation, Han Feng replied categorically.
"Confidence?" Teacher Zhou was stunned, and he muttered, as if he was asking Han Feng and himself: "Is that it?
Suddenly, Mr. Zhou stood up from his chair abruptly. The whole body exudes a compelling momentum, and it doesn't look like an elderly man at all. From the point of view of momentum, this Teacher Zhou is definitely not as simple as the fourth order, his momentum is much more than Chen Yang, it is simply a hill compared to a mountain. Teacher Zhou stared at Han Feng with his eyes fixed on him, and said coldly, "Do you think you can win just by relying on confidence?"
"That's right. Isn't that enough?" Han Feng didn't flinch in the slightest, but glared back without hesitation: "If you don't even have confidence in yourself, then you really don't even have a chance to win!"
The two of them stared at each other across a table, and neither of them backed down. After a long while, Teacher Zhou regained his momentum and laughed: "Hahahahaha! Interesting, really interesting! Han Feng from Class 13 of the seventh year, then you can show me how far you can do with confidence!"
After speaking, before Han Feng could react, he took care of himself and recorded Han Feng's information on a piece of crystal.
"Take it. Teacher Zhou threw the crystal towards Han Feng at random.
When Han Feng hurriedly caught the crystal, and before he had time to thank him, he issued an eviction order: "Little guy, this crystal is the proof that you signed up for the school selection competition." Now, grab this crystal and roll it out of me. Don't bother me here. ”
"Thank you!" Han Feng carefully put away the crystal. Then, after solemnly thanking Mr. Zhou, he slowly withdrew.
Han Feng didn't see it, and when he withdrew, Teacher Zhou raised his head again, with an unfathomable smile on his face: "I didn't expect this little guy to be not only interesting, but also quite polite! Hidden strength, second-order high level? However, the strength of the second-order high level can't be a source of confidence! I remember that there are many people in the S class who have reached the third order." Just show me, old fellow, how far you can go. ”
