Chapter 205: The Battle of the Academies Begins

In May, at the turn of spring and summer, the clouds were soft and the wind was light, and the sky was high and wide, which was a good time for the battle of the academy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Being in the ring of the Western Continent, Edison didn't need to rush to the competition venue to familiarize himself with the environment like other magic academy students.

Because of this selection battle for the regional academy in the Western Continent, the location was set at the Immortal Magic Academy, which was not far from the outside of the Immortal City.

The entire Immortal Magic Academy is adjacent to the Immortal City, covering an area of 676 square kilometers on the outside, and after the expansion of space magic on the inside, the size is no longer verifiable, it is said that it can accommodate more than 100 million people at the same time, and it is the largest logistics support base in the entire ring area, hoarding countless materials.

The college has a complete magic guide industrial assembly line, library, and cultivated land...... It can be seen as a miniature version of the Western Continent Terran Gathering Area, which can be completely self-sufficient.

There are more than 2.3 million people living here all year round, of which military family members and disabled retired soldiers account for a large proportion, so the college has unknowingly become an important inland material distribution center for the entire western continent.

On the west side of the academy, near the junction between the unfallen city and the outside world, a 100-meter-high memorial mountain for battle heroes has been built purely by magic, and the mountain is composed entirely of lizardman bones, and under the mountain forest is a large cemetery of martyrs open to the outside world.

Every time you go from the academy to the city, or if outsiders want to enter the city, they have to pass through here.

Edison, who has memories of the future, knows that this magic academy is far from being as simple as it seems, not to mention that those "undead sin army" are hidden here, just under this cemetery, countless people have voluntarily become undead after death, guarding the existence of the unfallen city, and this academy has also become the strongest and last backing of the unfallen city.

"The body is still dead, the bones are still broken!" is a portrayal of the future outcome of this university, now that Edison knows this future and stands in this college, I hope that the fate of this college in the future can also be changed as he is now!

"Why? Look, speaking of which, I've slaughtered so many lizardmen over the years...... So many comrades died, hey, this was only broken in 15347, and the then principal of the Immortal Magic Academy personally put a legendary lizardman's tail vertebrae~"

Principal Mokani's sigh rang in Edison's ears, and it also brought him back to his senses!

“...... Speaking of which, you came in in a coma at the beginning, and now it's normal to be stunned when you see this cemetery for the first time!" Beside him, Principal Mokani's voice at this time was filled with pride, so that Edison could only nod silently.

When the memories of the past become reality again, Edison always has a sense of confusion that he was still on the ruins of the Summer Palace one moment ago, and returned to the past one moment the next.

Compared with the clear pictures in his memory, Edison always felt that there were many "firsts" in his life, and he had fallen into an aftertaste before he began.

"Actually, sometimes it's not a good thing to remember too clearly!...... at least," Edison muttered to himself, his voice lowered.

Only the principal beside him was already chattering about the stories of every grass and tree, brick and tile, and he looked very energetic.

At this moment, the two of them are now sitting on an open-top magic car with an extremely magical appearance, which is a military frame specially provided for the contestants this time, and will take the contestants to the designated venue according to the guidance of magic coordinates.

The magic color of Ambilight, the floating off the ground like magnetic levitation, and the shape of the boat, the wind is enough to pull the wind, but what is the situation of the windmill at the stern of the boat, which is like a windmill for children to play with.

What's even more embarrassing is that this thing really relies on windmills to control the direction, which is just as magical as a bamboo dragonfly.

Fortunately, when the surrounding circle is full of similar vehicles and ships, Edison and Mocani are not so conspicuous, and from a distance, there is a feeling of traveling on land.

And the surrounding large circle of characteristic magic cars as a cover, what to do is the opponent of this competition, Edison looked around, there were at least a thousand people, and then closed his eyes to play back the faces of these people.

Edison was surprised to find that among these people, there was not a single young and beautiful person, all of them seemed vigorous and energetic, and even a slightly middle-aged face could not be found.

A face like Edison, who is a little young and old, is actually quite anxious and dressed in ordinary clothes.

Instead of complaining about the shape of the magic car, Edison turned his head and interrupted Mokani's words and asked, "Are these people so young? How many people are younger than me to compete? Isn't it said that the upper limit is 300 years old?"

Mokani glanced around the people around him, lowered his voice and said: "Let's talk to you kid, among the people who signed up in the Western Continent this time, you are the youngest, and at least one-third of them are veterans who are 200 years old and have participated in the competition many times. ”

"Many people who are unwilling to explore on their own, and who do not meet the admission standards of the academy, and cannot go to the University of Magic for further study, are all aiming to get a good ranking and be able to enter the special recruitment quota. ”

"So, although their age is not dominant, they must be younger in appearance to show that they are enterprising. ”

Edison was speechless, and his heart said what is this, the interview version of the college entrance examination?!

......

In real terms, the battle of the houses was nothing more than a difference in educational concepts between the principals of different colleges over the different combat concepts of magic and the way magic was used.

This should be placed in Edison's previous life, at most, it was just a mouthful, enjoyable, and the top day was to write a few long articles and publish them in some well-known domestic education magazines to brush up on prestige.

But in this world, it will roughly evolve into:

"What, you say I'm not right? I say you're wrong!"

"If you're not convinced, let's do it! Whoever wins is right. ”

As a result, this was initially an internal competition between a few academies, but soon because of a bet made by a few high-level archmages, the influence was extended to all the magic universities in the entire empire.

But the University of Magic, strictly speaking, only accepts 6th-order magicians, has abundant resources but few in number, and even if the students in the preparatory class are admitted, most of them are between 30~70 years old and have rich study tour experience.

This also leads to teachers and students communicating in a more reciprocal way when discussing problems, plus everyone has experienced different things.

These students will develop different understandings of the concepts of the magic application of the principals of each college, and develop their own ideas...... Or take the magic concepts of multiple colleges and combine them, or choose one of them to stand out from the crowd.

In this way, the concept of academy magic, which is no longer confined to one family or clan, gradually emerged, and the magic that absorbs the strengths of others.

However, because the genre originated as an organization that originated from the private communication of the students of the academy, it is sometimes more inclusive than the academy, and it is easier to break away from the gateway between the academies and develop a combat magic system that is truly suitable for magicians.

At that time, the Magic Council saw that the signs were a little wrong, and if it continued like this, it would become a wrestling between various schools, how could this be done to educate students wholeheartedly! After all, even teachers were teaching magic with prejudice, how could this make magic bloom and develop in a variety of ways!

So he quickly intervened and began to standardize the battle of the colleges: it was stipulated that each magic school could only send one person to participate in the competition, and each academy could only send one person to participate.

Those who can win the last place will not only receive a rich reputation and rewards for themselves, but the council will also increase its resource support, and also give priority to promoting the magical ideas that make the academy (school) grow and grow for free.

Balance, differentiation, exchange of interests, redistribution...... The entire Magic Council has spent thousands of years practicing and perfecting the current way of the academy battle, and today's academy battle has become the most open magic trend in the entire empire, the highest frequency of new magic, and the best platform for new magic research and display;

......

Just as Edison was chewing on the knowledge about the Battle of the House in his head, refreshing his old knowledge and learning about the new.

Suddenly, there was a soft "bang", and then "bang" fell to the ground, and the distance between the body shook and shook, followed by a series of harsh metal friction sounds of "sand ~~squeak ~~quack~~".

Many magic cars broke down at the same time, falling from more than ten centimeters above the ground, a few of them flew out of the car at a fast speed, and a few of them drove close to the rear-end directly, and all of a sudden, the fragmented wreckage of various vehicles flew everywhere, creating a lot of small wounds that were caught off guard.

The people who saw off the team this time were all masters, so they didn't lose any of the contestants.

It's just that this thing happened, and everyone has a fire in their hearts, and they have torn their hearts to the suppliers who provide these magic cars.

"I see! Our test has already begun, maybe this is the first level, and let's see if we find the exact place in this race in the allotted time without the guidance of the navigator. ”

One of the contestants suddenly said loudly to everyone, which also attracted everyone's attention, and for a while everyone present actually forgot the unhappiness in their hearts, and nodded secretly, feeling that what this person said made some sense!

At this time, another contestant added: "I don't know who everyone here has a crystal that can communicate with the outside world, if it is really a test, then the communication crystal will definitely be artificially blocked!"

Many people present shook their heads, although everyone was only asked not to wear any space items before departure, but because the place where they lived was said to be not too far from the competition venue, the magic car could go back and forth in half a day, so many people thought that the communication crystal was heavy, so they put it directly in the hotel.

In the end, only Edison and the other three took out half a palm-sized communication crystal from their trouser pockets, and counting Edison, only two of them were contestants, and the other two teachers accompanied him.

Speaking of which, the communication crystal is really not used by Edison from the [Divine Space], it is purely a habit developed in his previous life with a mobile phone.

And in an experiment, there was really no way to communicate magically.

Now everyone stabilized their minds and began to stare at their magic car, if it was really a test, then whoever arrived first would be able to win. (To be continued.) )
