Chapter 1 The Contest Begins!
The preliminary round of the Academy Championship in the Eastern Continent has begun, and the competition in Region C seems to have no suspense because of the existence of St. Theseus Academy, but the name You Jialan makes everyone have to care, how will such an academy that has re-emerged in the rivers and lakes perform in this preliminary round? Is it at the bottom or eye-catching?
The twenty participating college teams in Division C will all be in the same place, the Endless Labyrinth. This is one of the training places in the hands of the Holy See, and sometimes it is used to hold some competitions, and the content of the competition in the sub-division is not the same, and this time the game location is in the maze, it is conceivable that the content of the game should be very simple, who is the first team to get out of the maze, is the team that qualifys.
After a few days, the carriage rushed to the location of the Endless Labyrinth, and from a distance, I saw in the carriage that the area around the Endless Labyrinth was wide, and many of the colleges that came in advance had already divided their respective areas, and young people wearing different school uniforms walked around, because it was a division area, others could not enter casually, and the carriage traveled in a place similar to the checkpoint, and there were people from the Holy See to check their identities.
"You Jialan Academy, let's go in!" After checking the identity, the guard said a sentence, which was not high or low, and everyone in the area swept their eyes.
"Yo, this is You Jialan Academy. Immediately, there were yin and yang strange words, as the leading teacher of the team of You Jialan Academy, the principal was inevitably a little unhappy when he heard such a tone, but the pity of a few people did not have much emotion, she had already expected that such a scene was indispensable in this line, and it was estimated that there were not a few provocations.
"This is You Jialan Academy. ”
"I heard that they can't even recruit a single student, and they are very down. ”
"Isn't it, I can't even recruit students, and I haven't gone out of business yet? ”
In the many eyes, the group kept walking in, the whispers of other people kept coming, basically nothing good, the principal took the lead with a calm face, until he walked into a far away, equivalent to a very remote corner, he stopped, and looked at this corner has been occupied by other colleges, and there is only no one here.
A few people stopped here, and several academies around them couldn't help but show mocking eyes, "It's really unlucky, it's even next to them, look at their poor and sour appearance, this time they are at the bottom." ”
The headmaster's face was always gloomy, and several people took out the tent, the official competition will start tomorrow, and tonight is to sleep here. After the tent is set up, this small area is also equivalent to the place of You Jialan College, and the innermost and most remote location is not bad.
"These people are a little too ugly to hear. After settling down, Galio sat there and looked around, "Along the way, I have heard many ugly words, although You Jialan is not good, but these people are beautiful in the well." ”
The headmaster took out the food, "Let's eat first, you're all tired after so many days of hurrying, if you're tired, go and rest, I'll inform you of something." ”
Several people took the food, and Anne took a bite of the cold and hard bread, sticking out her tongue, and the dry and cold bread was not palatable. "Little mercy, it's so unpalatable. Anne said, and the headmaster smiled awkwardly, "Give it to me if it's unpalatable, I should have bought better bread." ”
"It's okay, eat me. Pian handed her bread to Anne, Anne said that the unpalatable bread was brought over, and the principal sat there awkwardly, supporting You Jialan to put it bluntly that he no longer had much savings, and a large part of the 10 million was used to pay off the foreign debt, and there was not much left for the renovation of the school building.
"Just a piece of bread, little girl, do you want to eat it?" The surrounding academies were also eating, and when they heard Anne's words, they couldn't help but laugh shamefully, shaking the soft-looking bread in their hands, and there was no good intention in their smile.
Anne didn't pay attention to it at all, biting the bread of pity and no longer speaking, the people in the surrounding academies couldn't help but snort coldly, "You Jialan is indeed no one, such a small child can go into battle, it's really sad!"
"Can't stop your mouth when you eat?" said Galio, and the young man who spoke turned red, "What are you talking about me!"
Galio pouted, the young man who spoke was going to sit up, and the people around him hurriedly pulled him to sit down, even if the opponent was You Jialan, don't have a conflict at such a time, after all, there is still a leading teacher. The young man turned his head indignantly, and Galio smiled coldly, "Bullying the weak and fearing the hard is the truth of this world." ”
"What they said is right, You Jialan Academy is indeed lonely, and there are no other students to find except you. The principal smiled in a low voice, "Sometimes I wonder if it's right to persist for so long, if I didn't insist at the beginning, maybe You Jialan will always have the glory of the past, and the current downfall will not exist." ”
"If an academy can only live in the glory of the past, what is the meaning of this glory? Only the glory that can continue is the real glory. He shoved the last bite of bread into his mouth and looked at the headmaster with dark eyes, "Headmaster, you have to have some confidence in your own college." ”
The principal smiled and nodded, "You're right, I also have this obsession in my heart, so I can persist until now." ”
"Attention to the leading instructors of each academy, now come to the front and gather for a while!" A voice came from the front, and the headmaster patted his clothes and got up, "I'll go over, you guys are here, try not to conflict with others." ”
"As long as others don't provoke. Galio spoke, the principal smiled and turned to leave, all the instructors walked to the front, and only the young people who participated in each academy were left here, and a few people continued to eat quietly, and a few people from the academy next to him underestimated in private, and then a woman stood up.
"How can cold and hard bread be eaten by a child, come over to us, we have hot soup. The young woman smiled warmly at Anne, like a big sister, Anne glanced at her, shook her head, and continued to nibble on the bread in her hand, the young woman smiled, "Then let's do it, I will share a bowl of hot soup with you." ”
A bowl of hot soup was served, and the young woman came over amiably, the hot soup in her hand was steaming, and Anne's eyes were a little longing, and it was indeed too dry to eat bread. It's too rough for a child's delicate stomach.
The young woman looked at Anne's longing expression and smiled even deeper, several people behind her whispered to her, her black eyes raised, and she glanced at the few people behind the young woman, and a trace of coldness crossed her eyes, and suddenly, the young woman's footsteps staggered, and the bowl of hot soup in her hand poured out, hitting Anne's face!
"Ahh
A pair of hands quickly pulled Anne back, fell directly into his arms, a white hand pressed the little girl's face into her arms, Anne subconsciously shrank up, the steaming hot soup sprinkled down, all fell on the slender arms and palms!
"Pity!" Galio rushed over with an arrow step, his fair skin quickly became red and swollen at this moment, and he didn't say a word, and calmly checked whether Anne in his arms had been burned, Galio looked at her rapidly swollen skin, and immediately stretched out his palm to heal, but was gently blocked by Pity, "It's just a skin injury." ”
"Whoosh——!" A black shadow galloped by, flashing directly in front of the young woman, and the extremely handsome facial features made the young woman look slightly shaken, but the man's gloomy and terrifying expression made her regain her calm in the next second, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back quickly.
"What are you doing! We also have good intentions! Who would have thought that the soup would be spilled!" Several people behind the young woman immediately stood up and looked at Yin Yue with a wary expression, and Yin Yue did not speak with a cold expression. "It's okay, I didn't mean to, I'm really sorry. The young woman hurriedly said, Yin Yue frowned fiercely, he really couldn't say anything.
Mercy let Anne go and stood up, glanced at the redness and swelling on her arms and palms, and walked over slowly, "Since you have good intentions, we will take it, the bowl of hot soup has been spilled, don't mind if I want another bowl." ”
With a faint smile, several young people felt a chill inexplicably, and took a step back at the moment, "The soup pot is there, you can go and get it yourself." ”
Ren walked in front of the soup pot, the small fire under the soup pot was heating, there was a gurgling sound in the soup pot, the heat and aroma kept rising, Ren stretched out his hand and scooped a bowl of soup, his black eyes sank, at the junction of the soup bowl and the palm, a small ball of flame gas, even the soup with the bowl continued to heat.
The palm and the bottom of the soup bowl are next to each other, others can't see the fire at all, Pian walked slowly with the soup bowl, several young people in this academy subconsciously retreated to the side, Pian stepped up, when passing by the woman who brought the soup just now, her fingers were forced, the soup bowl had a tendency to be crooked outward, and the young woman immediately reached out to help when she saw it, but she couldn't hide it, but she couldn't let the soup spill on her. The moment her fingers touched the soup bowl, the young woman's eyes widened, "Ahhh
The sudden high temperature made her hand quickly retract and keep shaking it, and soon, the skin on her fingers quickly became red and swollen, and amazing blisters popped up one after another, and she was burned in just one moment.
"What did you do!" Several other people from the academy hurriedly came over, and shouted when they saw the miserable appearance of the young woman's fingers, holding the soup bowl pitifully, the flame in her palm had been extinguished, "She just helped her, how could I have expected her to be burned." ”
"How can we be burned for no reason! What a fool we are!" Several young people shouted out unconvinced, their dark eyes cold, "Don't you think you are a fool, you think others are not smart?
The black eyes were cold, the eyes were as sharp as knives, several young people didn't even say a word, no one dared to stand up and refute, and spilled all the bowl of soup in his hand on the ground, and then threw the bowl on the ground, "If there is a next time, it will not be as simple as a hand, You Jialan is not easy to bully." ”
Several young people breathed tightly, and looked at Mercy and didn't dare to speak anymore, Mercy reflexively returned to Anne, Anne looked at Mercy's red arm, "Little Mercy, does it hurt? Did they hurt you? I asked Cooper to teach them a lesson!"
With a smile, the young men sat back in a gloomy manner, not even having the courage to turn back, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." "For the Bronze Horseman's mercy, this burn is nothing at all, it is equivalent to scratching, don't look at the red and swollen arm, but the pain is almost nothing. But if it were to fall on Anne, it would be a different matter.
After a while, the headmaster hurried back, frowning at the sight of Pian's reddened arm, "What's going on?"
"It's fine. Mercy said lightly, Galio and Hidden Moon didn't say anything, the headmaster glanced back thoughtfully, and then turned his head, "Isn't there anything wrong with your arm?"
"Cutaneous trauma, it's okay. Galio frowned, "It's better to deal with it." ”
Pity shook her head helplessly, the bloody injury was nothing to her, let alone this kind of small burn?" The principal nodded, "It's okay, this time it's to explain the content of the sub-division competition, the twenty teams have all arrived, and the competition in the sub-division will officially start tomorrow." ”
"In the labyrinth, the content should be exactly as we think. Yin Yue spoke, and the principal nodded, "That's right, the content of this competition is indeed the same as we thought, and the first team of the twenty academy teams to get out of the maze is the team that qualified this time, but there are some changes in the rules." The original three-person team has been transformed into a four-person team, and the players who were originally substitutes will also officially join the team, won't she have a problem at this point?" the headmaster looked at Anne, "If she can, she should not go in. ”
"No! I'm going to be with Mercy. Anne shook her head and smiled pitifully, "Headmaster don't have to worry about that, Anne...... No problem. "Thinking of the terrifying flames and the mysterious Muppet Bear, if her opponent was Anne, she would have a headache.
"If you insist. The headmaster continued, "Twenty teams have their own entrance to the labyrinth, and the paths of the twenty entrance links will definitely have a place to intersect, which means that in this competition, how many teams you will meet, what strength of the team you will encounter, all this is unknown, and battles can happen at any time." ”
Pity frowned, this is also a fair and unfair place in this game, no one knows the path of the map of the labyrinth, the paths are all independent and random choices, it is unpredictable how many battles will occur between several teams, any student team may be the first to qualify, and the previous one-sided St. Theseus Academy must win, it should also be shaken. The unfair part is that twenty teams meet randomly, and luck accounts for a large part of this, and if the first team encounters the strong team, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
"What if there are teams that arrive at the exit at the same time?" asked Galio, and the headmaster shook his head, "There won't be such a situation, there is only one exit, and if two teams do arrive at the same time, they must also hold each other's footsteps in check." ”
"Then what if the last twenty teams all go to the bottom, what should we do, do we have to have a big scuffle?" Galio asked another question, the principal sighed, and with a flick of his wrist, four shiny badges appeared, "What is this?" Anne took it curiously, the badge was very beautifully made, Anne immediately said that the badge was pinned to her chest, "Little pity, is it good-looking?"
With a smile, he looked at the principal with dark eyes, and the principal spoke, "This badge will be worn by everyone who participates, and it must also be worn on the body, if the badge is taken in the competition, it will be directly disqualified." If the entire team is captured badges, then the House team is eliminated. ”
Pity looked at the badge in his hand thoughtfully, so it is, there must always be a win or loss in the game, two teams meet in the maze, they must fight, the ultimate goal of the game is to reach the exit of the maze, this is the goal that all teams can complete, it is just a matter of time or time, in order to limit the number of the only qualified team, this rule is just right.
Reaching the exit of the maze is not the direct goal, the direct purpose is to take away the opponent's badge and let the opponent be eliminated directly!
"The rules are good, otherwise wouldn't it be too boring?" Yin Yue spoke, the principal glanced at a few people, and if the badge was taken, it would be regarded as elimination, this rule was actually very cruel, and the losing side would not even have a chance to turn over!
"Headmaster, what's wrong?" asked with a pitiful smile, and the headmaster shook his head, "It's nothing, I'll be waiting for you at the exit then." You guys...... Good luck. ”
Ren smiled in a low voice, knowing what the principal was thinking, he still didn't have confidence in them, and he couldn't blame him, they looked too young, even if Lian told him his true strength, he might not believe it. When the time comes, the facts will tell.
The next day, all the instructors went to the exit of the labyrinth, and the twenty academy teams were led by the Holy See to their own entrance, and it happened that the You Jialan Academy was the twentieth entrance, and the Holy Theseus was the nineteenth entrance.
The two academy teams met and glanced at the four of Saint Theseus, the strength of these few is indeed good, it seems that they should all be at the advanced stage. It's just that that high-spirited demeanor is really the same as that enchanter, after all, it is from an academy, and the tone is almost the same.
"Tsk, next to you, it's really unlucky. The people from the Holy Theseus Academy were not polite when they opened their mouths, and they took pity on a few people, without any reaction, and the few people from the Holy Theseus thought that they were afraid, and became even more unscrupulous, "You Jialan's few! It's better to hand over the badge now and give it up automatically!
Mercy's eyes swept over, and several Saint Theseus people were snickering there, only one of them came with a cold and hard expression, and he narrowed his dark eyes slightly, and the same was true of that person.
"It's time!
After hearing this order, all the teams immediately rushed towards the maze, only at the two entrances of the nineteenth and twentyth, the two teams looked unhurried. It seemed to be the same tone, and when he came to the entrance of the labyrinth, the person with a cold expression suddenly spoke, "Pray, don't touch us first." ”
Hidden Moon and Galio walked straight into the labyrinth, ignoring it at all, and Anne tugged at Pian's hand, "Little Pity, let's go." ”
She gently hooked her lips and took Anne's hand and walked forward, turning her face sideways as she stepped into the entrance of the labyrinth, "You should be the one who prays." ”
The person with a cold and hard expression was stunned for a moment, watched You Jialan's few people enter the maze, and then coldly hooked his lips, "Hmph, interesting." ”
Subsequently, several people from St. Hughus Academy also entered the labyrinth, and from this moment on, the event in Region C officially began!
