064 Tournament in the Rocky Mountains
"Oh, I remember when you say that, didn't that guy from a month ago say that he would sign up the next day? I waited for him to come and worship me, but I haven't seen anyone yet," said Arthur.
Thomas put down the knife in his hand, tilted his head and thought for a while, "To be exact, 36 days ago, Impermanence's identity documents were burned, or the college information I helped him consult......
"That's strange, why haven't I heard of new students entering the academy during this time?" Lei Luo pushed the coffee cup with his fingers boringly, and said thoughtfully, "The talents personally guaranteed by the second princess and General Cooper, I'm really interested......"
Thomas thought about it, but Zuihou still opened the terminal next to him and began to check it carefully. But ten minutes later, Thomas said with a shocked face, "What the fuck, why did this man called Impermanence suddenly disappear?"
The three heads huddled together, looking at the holographic screen in front of them. Sure enough, in the search bar of the academy's freshmen, there was no information about impermanence, and even when Thomas hacked into the academy's backend system, he didn't find any clues about the existence of the name impermanence.
Lei Luo immediately became interested, "Okay, there is really something in this, a big living person actually disappeared out of thin air?"
"Would you like to investigate this matter carefully?" asked Arthur.
Lei Luo thought about it and shook his head, "Forget it, let's wait until after the summer training, I heard that the academy is going to let our class be a representative of the competition, so don't make any extraneous branches at this time."
Lei Luo said it very easily, but in his heart, he was already boiling. This matter is really weird, someone actually dares to make a black hand on the Ice Dragon Academy, and even erases the talent recommended by the second princess, the conspiracy behind this must be unimaginably big.
Although he is the heir of the Baron of the Left Bank and is very respected on the Left Bank Heavenly Star, he is not even a fart for the entire empire, especially when it comes to the battle between the two princesses.
None of the people present were stupid, and they did not continue to dig into the topic, but naturally switched to the upcoming summer training in ten days, commonly known as the summer martial arts.
On the Left Bank, there are countless military academies and training camps, large and small, from the lowest infantry, all the way up to special operations units, armored brawlers, including the Space Battleship School, and so on. It is precisely because of the large number of academies and training camps that this has created a serious inequality in the distribution of resources.
Every school thinks that they are the most important, everyone wants to get the biggest piece of cake in the Empire's funds, involving the core interests, everyone is not calm, and at the end of the year, the financial residence of the Left Bank Heavenly Star and the office set up by the Imperial Military Department will be surrounded by hundreds of principals and bosses.
After countless violent conflicts, the Imperial War Department finally came up with a solution that was not a solution, which was to survive in the wilderness in the Rocky Mountains for ten days every summer, and allocate the financial allocation for the following year according to the final ranking.
The rules of the summer tournament in the Rocky Mountains are very simple, starting with a primary selection of countless houses, each school elects a team of five, and 100 teams are selected from thousands of schools across the planet. When the tryouts are over, the tournament officially enters the Rocky Mountains.
The military department buried a hundred medals in the Rocky Mountains in advance, and distributed the coordinates of the medals to each team, and when the game began, they had ten full days for the teams to search, whether you explored it yourself or grabbed it from someone else. As long as you have the most medals handed in, then you will be the first place.
"With Lei Luo leading the team this year, our ice dragon must still be the first place, and those poor stick schools still want to compete with us?"
"That's right, last year, Dasha led the team to win the first place, and this year there is a Left Bank Baron to lead the team, not to mention"
Lei Luo waved his hand, "Calm down, don't make noise, this is a public place after all." As for this competition, although we are confident that we will win the first place, we must not relax in our preparations, and we must pay attention to the enemy's ...... in terms of tactics."
Immediately after, the three of them got together and began to determine the candidates for the group of five.
At the same time, in the tattered dark horse training camp, a unique ring match is being held on the playground, and the selected players of each class must not only compete for the qualification to participate in the summer training, but also compete for the prize money of 3,000 gold coins.
"Brothers, our dark horse has not won a medal for three consecutive years, and last year we were even more ashamed that we didn't even have the qualifications to enter the mountain, and we were eliminated by others in the qualifiers....... this is a shame, a great shame......
On the edge of the ring, the instructor's iron fist's loud voice has never stopped, "This year, Lao Tzu personally quarreled with the big boss, and then I gave you a bonus of 3,000 gold coins, and there must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, I want to see today, how is your real strength......"
"Give Lao Tzu momentum, even if you lose, we have to export momentum......"
Accompanied by the sound of the iron fist, it was the sound of the impact of the fists in the ring, Merlin had won three games in a row, and the joy of victory stimulated the members of the third class one by one.
Merlin was like a knife left and right, drawing a strange arc straight to the neck of the person in front of him and slashing it, and the enemy who was caught off guard was hit by this hand knife and collapsed to the ground, Merlin finally ushered in his four consecutive victories.
"Who else is not convinced...... Merlin looked at the students under the ring coldly, although he was already scarred, his waist was still straight. Although Merlin won four games in a row, but the opponent was not a vegetarian, in the process of fighting, Merlin's left eye was beaten like a panda, and his right rib was also hit, so the hanging bone was about to break.
Outside the court, the rice bucket Lu Li felt sorry for the squad leader, he turned over and jumped into the ring to block Merlin with his body, "The wastes in the audience, now your opponent is me Lu Li, don't you all scold me for being a rice bucket?" Now the rice bucket is standing here and letting you fight, I see which of you dares to go on stage, ...... while scolding, Lu Li also pushed Merlin off the stage.
Lu Li's provocation angered the soldiers in the audience, and a three-stage martial artist jumped into the ring on the spot, and rushed up without saying nonsense and became entangled with Lu Li.
Lu Li's strength is his strength and ability to resist hits, and flexibility is his shortcoming, as soon as he was entangled with the little warrior in front of him, he was suppressed by the dexterous warrior, and the fist like a rainstorm smashed on Lu Li's body, and the fight was crackling.
At this time, there was a boo outside the venue, and countless people began to laugh at Lu Li, "Stupid big man, hurry up and get off the stage, it's all made people into sandbags, why are you still shameless on the stage?"
The excitement from the audience did not anger Lu Li, because everyone didn't know how perverted Lu Li was, and the enemy's storm-like fists seemed to him like tickling. When he saw a loophole in his opponent, he actually clamped his opponent's arm with his left arm, and an overlord removed his armor and threw his opponent out of the ring.
", who else is not convinced?" The strong Lu Li showed his muscles unscrupulously on the stage, and after a while, two more opponents were thrown from the ring by him, and one of the unlucky ones actually hit his head against the wall and fainted on the spot.
Today's third shift is a big explosion, changing the usual low-key, under the leadership of Merlin, they have defeated 22 opponents in three hours, and no one in the thousands of soldiers in the city dared to step forward.
At this time, in the corner of the crowd, the stick brother with a face full of resentment was staring at the majestic Mary on the stage, and scolded in a low voice, "Fuck, the people in the third class are all beaten today? Or is the phantom fog pumped too much? Even this girl is on stage?"
It's a pity that no matter how Brother Stick scolds, he can't change the momentum of the three-stage victory, because Merlin, Lu Li and Qian Falcon have taught a lot of third-stage martial artists in the camp before, and now Mary's opponents are some first-stage and second-stage martial artists, and this strength is purely for her to practice.
When Mary defeated a beginner martial artist who was not self-sufficient, the younger brother beside Brother Stick couldn't bear it, "Boss, are you just watching the third class go crazy?" Let's go on stage, take advantage of the fact that they are all injured, and beat them up, this is a good opportunity for revenge......"
The proposal of his subordinates was only exchanged for a big slap from Brother Stick, "dizzy." What are you doing up there? Do you want to go to the summer tournament? Do you really want to be a soldier? Damn, I'll send you to the front tomorrow."
"Remember, our purpose is to select talents for the boss, not to go to the front line to fight the hunters. ”
Speaking of which, Brother Stick stared at Merlin who was wearing an ice pack on his face on the edge of the ring, and scolded with hatred in his heart, "Stinky boy, Lao Tzu went to recruit you, I saw that you were a talent, but you didn't give me face." I'd rather go to the front line to be cannon fodder than receive relief from our boss, do you really want to die?"
"Hehe, maybe you still have a dream of being an officer in your heart, right? It's a pity, you can't realize any dream with me."
Thinking of this, Brother Stick turned his head and left the playground, no longer bothering to look at this group of members of the third class that he hated.
In just three hours of confrontation, all the top in the three classes took the field, and finally won 28 consecutive games to suppress all the dissatisfied. However, impermanence is not included in the fighters who take the field.
To be honest, Impermanence doesn't understand why Merlin is working so hard, this usually low-key him is too different, his ideal is not to go to the front line to gild, mix for half a year without dying, Zuihou returned to his hometown without a disability, took the discharge money given by the empire, and then became a little policeman or something.
Isn't it his ideal to just be so peaceful? Zuihou is still the ousted Mary Gang impermanence.
"Merlin asked me to tell you, and when the summer tournament is over, he'll have the money to pay you back. He also said to let you rest assured, the 1,100 gold coins will definitely be returned to you without a penny."
When the third class returned to his dormitory, Impermanence grabbed Merlin by the collar and scolded.
"You fucking look down on Lao Tzu like that, you three classes just want to squeeze me out like that?" Impermanence raised his fist and wanted to beat Merlin on the spot, but when he saw Merlin's panda-like head, he couldn't do it anymore.
Impermanence struggled for a long time, and in the end he didn't hit him, but just pushed him aside. He sat on the edge of the bed and sighed and asked, "Weishenme?"
"No, I just don't want to owe you a favor. I can owe me a favor to my poor brethren, because I can pay it back, but you can't afford it," Merlin said calmly.
Impermanence was speechless, he had never regarded himself as a master, what was there to be arrogant about a miner who came out of Huang Erxing? But the performance of the students of the third class today made Impermanence very depressed, and he felt that there was a big stone in his chest blocked inside.
While the cold wind was blowing on the rooftop, Mary, a medical nurse, walked over and gave him a bottle of beer.
"I know you're puzzled, but people's alienation from you doesn't come from the money in your pocket, but from your identity as the one you stand out. If you can't explain it for a day, then we can't accept you."
"A prominent person, and a very powerful fire elemental attribute, since you have such a great ability, you should go to the Ice Dragon! or an elite academy that specializes in training battle armor fighters!
"There are so many unreasonable things in you that we don't dare to approach you. With that, Mary patted Impermanence on the shoulder, turned her head and went back to sleep, leaving Impermanence alone to blow the cold wind.
