Chapter 271: National College Main Tournament Team
The Four-House Tournament is held every two years with the Elemental Festival, and students at Lorris National Academy can spend a total of five years at the Academy if they pass the assessment of their ability to enter the academy in their third year.
In other words, if a student has maintained a high enough level of ability during their five years at the Academy, and is lucky enough to coincide with the year of the Elemental Festival when their first year is held, then the Freshman Tournament plus the Main Tournament will give him a total of three chances to represent the Academy in the Four Houses Tournament.
But this is only theoretically speaking, there are very few outstanding geniuses who are eligible to participate in the freshman competition in the first year, not to mention that after entering the third year, the freshman competition is no longer eligible to participate, and the selection of the main competition, there are more elite seniors in the fourth and fifth grades who have gone through the college's ability test to continue their studies, and the difficulty of becoming a representative of the main competition as a third-year student is not lower than that of participating in the freshman competition as a first-year freshman.
In addition, although the talent in the practice of magic has a great influence, there are many exemplary examples of diligence that can make up for failure. Even if a young genius is selected to become a representative team member in the first and second year freshman competition, it does not mean that his name will definitely be on the list of the representative team in the main competition two years later. Recognized as the No. 1 university in the Western Plains, with the level of teacher education of Lloris National College, it is definitely possible for those students who are slightly less talented to reach the same or even higher level of strength as those geniuses who are extremely talented but slightly less diligent in just a few years through their own efforts and guidance from famous teachers.
Therefore, the students who have the opportunity to participate in three consecutive four-college competitions during their time at the school are very rare in the history of the college. Even Tafel Sage, the famous Wizard of Magic and Magic, who appeared in Lorris Academy decades ago, unfortunately only played in the Freshman Tournament and the Principal Tournament once because the year of admission coincided with the year the Elemental Festival was held...... Of course, this is also a remarkable achievement.
It's not as rare as the outstanding students who have participated in the four-academy competition three times in a hundred years with less than ten people. Although there are not many students who can participate in the two four-college competitions during their studies, there are always two or three in almost every competition, and it turns out that these few people are often the most successful among the graduates of the academy in the future. Putting aside the topic of the future, as far as the main match of the Four Academies Tournament itself is concerned, although the strength of those who can be selected for the team will not be very bad, there are members who have participated in the freshman tournament before. Often, because of a relationship with a similar experience, they will have a more stable and reliable performance on the field.
Although the content of each year's competition is different, you must know that the competition is different from the usual private practice and competition, and there are many strangers and even teachers and seniors from various colleges who come to watch the ceremony. Unless it's a natural single-celled or crazy, even if the personality is down-and-out and generous, it's the first time to participate in a magic competition related to the reputation of the academy in front of the eyes of thousands of people, and it would be absolutely deceptive to say that there is no stage fright. But after one such experience. The second response tends to be a lot easier.
This year's Four Houses Tournament. The team selected by the National College of Lorris is the strongest in recent years, at least in terms of the proportion of experienced players, with four of the six participating in the four-house competition for the second time.
Sekaria is one of these four experiencers, and because of the dual factors of outstanding strength and identity, she has also become the captain and water elemental leader of the main competition team. Two years ago, when she was in the second grade, she was once the captain of the freshman team and the head of the water element in the four academy competitions at that time, and the name of the genius magic girl spread from that time.
At this moment, Sekaria was standing in front of the second conference room of the student union headquarters as the captain of the main competition team of the Four Academies Athletic Competition, looking at the current year's main competition team members sitting in the conference room with a calm and confident face.
“...... That's not much to say. We are all the best candidates in the academy in terms of magic and magic engineering, and I believe that this time we will not disappoint the students and teachers who have trusted us. Next. Although we may have known each other a little bit before, it was the first time we had existed as a team, so let's start with a simple introduction to ourselves. If it's convenient, please also give a brief description of the types and main characteristics of magic that you are good at, I think it will be helpful for us to train as a squad in the future...... So, let's start with me. ”
Sekaria slowed slightly, and then began to introduce herself.
"Sekaria, a fourth-year magician, a four-star water magician, is good at shaping magic and control magic, and is good at using ice magic in two-element composite magic. Combat is based on magic, and you can also use medium- and long-range magic weapons such as the Magic Crossbow. I had the experience of the freshman race two years ago, above. ”
There is no distinction between the identities of nobles and commoners in the National College of Lorris, although there will be people like Eders who openly abide by it but privately make up names such as the Knights of the Round Table and the "Upper and Lower Houses" to implicitly mark their noble status, but there are also many noble children like Secaria who strictly follow the advocacy of the academy, and when introducing themselves in the academy, they will deliberately ignore the surname as a symbol of nobility and only mention the first name, so as to set an example to fulfill the school motto of "everyone is equal before knowledge".
After explaining her situation simply and clearly, Sekaria turned her head to look at Xia Li, who was sitting on the far side on the right, as an old partner in the student union, Xia Li immediately understood what Sekaria meant, and naturally took over the topic of Sekaria.
"Xia Li, the fourth year of the magic guidance department, a silver-level technician certified by the Loris Magic Guide Technician Association, is good at magic crystal engineering and magic energy circuits, has a lot of understanding of the structure and application of physical magic magic channels and magic crystals, is not good at frontal combat, but can use its own magic guide for combat assistance, and can use some simple recovery magic. I also participated in the freshman competition two years ago. ”
Xia Li's self-introduction surprised the other members, including Sekaria, and this surprise was mainly due to the "silver technician" that Xia Li had said.
The Loris Magic Association is to vigorously promote the development of magic engineering in China. An organization that was established to make the Wizard Technician a mainstream profession that was known and accepted by the general public, along with the Magician and the Fighting Spirit, and was dedicated to dealing with the affairs of the Wizard Technician in the country.
In order to facilitate the management and distribution of the support resources provided by the various guilds, the Wizarding Guild also graded the Wizard Technician in imitation of the Wizard's grading system. However, because there is no obvious difference in strength like magic and vindictiveness. This grading system can not so completely reflect the all-round ability value of a magic guide technician in the field of magic engineering, so in order to ensure the interests of high-level talents as much as possible, the association attaches more importance to the improvement of the magic guide technician's contribution to the existing magic guide technology in addition to the evaluation test of personal ability.
Apprenticeship, Formal, Bronze, Silver. Gold, a total of five normal magician technician grades, from bronze and above. It means that a magic technician has the ability to independently process and design a complete large magic device, and if there is a magic guide technician who is excellent in skills and has made "a great contribution that is enough to be included in the temple of magic engineering", then it is outside the title of gold level magic guide technician. They will also be granted the highest privilege of the Wizarding Association in perpetuity. It is popularly known as the "temple" level above gold.
A student who has graduated from the magic guidance department of Loris National College for three years can at least obtain the qualification of a formal magic guide technician as long as he does not mess around in the academy, and the magic guidance student who continues his studies and finally graduates in five years has a great chance of being able to obtain a bronze qualification when he graduates.
Xia Li's silver level means that she has independently developed at least one magic device or magic theory that has a certain effect on the quality of human life or the progress of civilization. This is undoubtedly an extremely amazing achievement for a student who has not yet graduated, you know. The silver level is a hard criterion for becoming a lecturer in the Magic Department of the National Academy, which means that Xia Li is only a fourth-year student. But his attainments in magic engineering are almost qualified to be lecturers in the academy.
Everyone else became admiring Xia Li's gaze, although they were all students of the magic department except for Xia Li, not to mention the weight of the competition in the four academies competition, simply talking about the title of silver-level magic guide technician, it can basically be compared to a four-star magician on the mainland, and in a country like Loris that attaches great importance to magic engineering, it can almost be treated as a five-star magician.
Even Sekaria couldn't help but wink at Xia Li secretly, she remembered that Xia Li said that she was bronze more than a month ago, but she didn't expect that in such a short period of time, this dead girl would pass the silver level assessment of the Magic Guide Association without telling her.
"Ahem, well, then the next one...... Miss Eve?"
Eve, the half-elf girl sitting next to Xia Li, nodded, as the most calm person present after Xia Li's identity as a silver-level magic guide technician was exposed, the silver-haired half-elf beautiful girl with full aura spoke in a light and ethereal tone that was quite characteristic of the night elf clan.
"Eve, a fifth-year wizard in the Department of Magic, a four-star wind magician, good at speed and attack, not good at competition, fighting with magic and bows and arrows, and has not participated in the Four Houses Tournament before. ”
It's as concise and clear as it gets, but the main points are all covered, it's just ......
"Not good at competing......?
Sekaria frowned invisibly, then asked tentatively.
If it weren't for the rumors that this half-elf senior sister who was one year higher than herself had a cold temperament, she would almost think that the other party was here to find fault.
Eve looked at Sekaria with a blank expression, and there seemed to be an apologetic look in her eyes.
"My way of fighting, which is a combination of magic and archery, is a bit dangerous. ”
"Uh......"
Eve's topic was a little jumpy, and Sekaria didn't immediately understand what she meant, but sat on the other side of Eve with long blond hair that hung down to her waist and slightly curled, looking exactly like a blonde girl who was 13 or 4 years old and was at a delicate age between Lori and the girl.
What Eve means is that her style of fighting is more suited to real combat with the goal of hurting and killing her opponents, rather than this kind of friendly confrontation. Really, it would have been nice to just say no from the beginning. ”
Eve, who was being lectured, not only did not get angry, but her eyes brightened a little, and she seemed to be in a good mood, nodded, and then naturally raised her hand and put it on the top of the blonde girl's hair next to her.
"Well, yes, thank you, Liz. ”
I don't know if it was because of being touched on the head or because of Lis's name, the blonde girl's face suddenly turned red, and she took out a pair of small tiger teeth and shook her head to shake off Eve's hand on her head, and then spoke very righteously.
"I've said it many times, people's names are Getajielis!
However, Liz's full name was too long to remember. ”
"It's rude to change someone's name without permission because I can't remember!
"Well, Liz and I are friends. ”
"Hmm!"
The fried golden retriever kitten seems to have been successfully smoothed by the word "friend", and looking at Eve's calm eyes and expression, it seems that she is not very embarrassed.
"Hmph...... Hmph, anyway, I'll let you go this time, stupid Eve. ”
The corners of Eve's mouth turned up slightly, and she raised her hand again to put it on Gettageris's head.
"Well, Liz is so nice. ”
"So don't touch your head!"
"Ahem......"
It's a good thing to understand what Eve means, but inadvertently these two show affection, Sekaria said that it's necessary for she, the captain and meeting organizer, to come out and show her sense of existence, and pull the topic back by the way.
Anyway, the trick of touching the head and killing it looks really easy to use, try to get √ next time to Cheruth
“...... Sister Eve actually doesn't have to worry too much, although we have to compete with the teams of the other three academies in the four-house competition, it does not mean that we will have face-to-face direct confrontation with the members of other teams, judging from the content of the competition in recent years, it is mostly in the form of indirect confrontation. ”
"Well, got it. ”
"So the next one, uh...... Sister Getajielis?"
"Ahem!"
Hearing Sekaria's roll call, Getajielia, who was originally fighting with one of Eve's hands with both hands to make her stop putting her hands on her head, suddenly put on a serious posture sitting on the chair, and straightened up the **** who was not expected, and gave me a little red flower with a look of great ...... Ahem, come and praise me.,It seems that I really want to show pride, confidence, and spirit.,But with the figure that hasn't completely broken away from the Lori body type and Eve's hand resting on her head.,It looks like a little girl who has just been sensible and begging for candy.。
"I'm Getajielis, a fifth-year student in the Department of Magic, and I'm 19 years old this year~!"

Ale, isn't the beginning of this self-introduction a little wrong?(To be continued.) )
