On November 1st, it was a beautiful sunny day.

At nine o'clock in the morning, on the roofs of the four towers in the four corners of the royal castle in the center of Arrant, four six-star arcane mages specially invited from the royal magic advisory group stood there, raised their wands, and shot four eye-catching magical lights into the sky. Immediately after, in mid-air, four magical lights exploded, transforming into an elemental aggregate of four forms: flame, flowing water, storm, and mountain, floating on the top of the royal city out of thin air.

Elemental mimicry, the first magic manipulation skill that a magician must master when learning elemental magic, is now being used in the hands of these four six-star arcane mages, making the four landscapes of the four elements symbolized at the top of the royal city look magnificent and amazing.

Immediately afterwards, the four elemental aggregates were divided into countless small elemental masses by the four arcane mages and converged in the sky above the center of the royal city, and some of the elements began to merge between the two and two, transforming into thunder and lightning, ice and snow, sand, metal, and healing light...... Almost all of the representative forms of the two-element composite magic appeared in mid-air in an instant.

Immediately above that, three of the four elements converged in one place, and soon the signature brilliance of the four three-element composite magic emerged—the white of light, the black of darkness, the silver of space, and the emerald of life.

The essence of the theory of elemental magic, the Elemental Composite Atlas, once again bloomed in the sky above the King of Loris City after two years, and countless fireworks flew into the sky under the light of the Elemental Composite Atlas.

The Elemental Festival has begun.

A morning show of elemental magic over the royal city. It is the beginning of each Elemental Festival, and as the giant elemental composite map shaped by the humans above the royal city begins to slowly dissipate, the Elemental Festival, which is about to last for nearly a whole month, has officially kicked off.

The major shopping streets have long been decorated with various slogans that cater to the festive atmosphere of the Elemental Festival. In the Garden Square, magicians who are usually rare to see appear together, with long or short wands in their hands, to perform some small magic that is not very difficult and powerful, but the effect is very gorgeous, these "magic tricks" may not be used by them in ordinary times, but at this time they can always win the applause and praise of the common people who are full of awe and worship of magic.

In the afternoon, the city of Alrante, which had been bustling with activity in the morning, was once again at peace, and everyone was scattered in front of the magic screens that had been set up in various park squares during the previous month. Looking forward to the opening of one of the most representative events of the Elemental Festival, the Four Houses Tournament.

The screen offers a bird's-eye view of the central plaza of the National College of Lorris.

Surrounded by students from the various faculties of the National College, eight teams from the four faculties stood tall in front of a temporary platform in the center of the square.

On the viewing platform on the periphery of the square. The new king Charles I and the powerful ministers in the royal court of Loris, Camos, Tucker, and Hailan are the three great sages of the kingdom of Loris. and the group of Solan Saints who came from the Holy Kingdom of Solan to watch the ceremony this time sat upright. Smiling.

On the high platform in the center of the square, the leading teachers of the four colleges stood proudly looking at their students, and the opening announcement of the host national college president, Ms. Pema, officially opened the four-college competition.

In addition to the usual series of speeches, the real important part of the opening ceremony of the Four Colleges Tournament is to announce the schedule of this tournament.

In the first half of the three elemental theme matches, the teams of the four academies compete in the same field, and after each elemental theme match, the teams in each event are ranked from high to low according to the results of the teams in a single event, and the first place is worth four points. The following priorities are reduced until the fourth place only accumulates one point, and in the second half of the single-element theme round-robin match, the teams of the four houses face off against each other. A round of three round-robin matchups is played, with the winner of each round adding two points to the first half of the fixture.

For the sake of fairness, the theme elements of the second half of each four-academy competition round-robin have always been rotated in the order of wind, fire, water and soil. The second half of the last round-robin tournament was based on the water element, and the theme element of this year's round-robin tournament was also the earth element as everyone expected, and the first half of the single elemental theme game was carried out every other day in the order of water, fire and wind, and the content of each elemental theme game will only be revealed on the day of the game, but the night before the game, the division commander of the four academies will give a key hint to the eight teams in advance, whether they can understand the meaning, that is the time to test the wisdom of the members of each team.

The hard work of Sekaria and Xia Li and others in the past two months was not in vain, although the two of them and another vice president of the student council, Leo, and Arthur, the vice chairman of the Discipline Committee, all stood under the high platform as members of the main competition, but in the end, there were no organizational problems until the end of the opening ceremony.

With the closing speech of Ms. Pema, the head of the college, this year's four-academy competition officially kicked off.

The first session of the first half of the Hydro Elemental Race was scheduled to take place on the morning of the second day after the Opening Ceremony, and on the evening of the first day after the Opening Ceremony, Garnes, the Prince of Lorris, hosted a dinner to welcome the teams from the three colleges in the royal estate outside the royal city.

The dinner was naturally an invitation to the dinner in the personal name of Garnes, in addition to inviting the participants of the Four Academies Tournament, including the National Academy, to attend, there were also many young young ladies in the powerful families of the kingdom who received the invitation, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this dinner was also an opportunity deliberately created by the Loris royal court to allow the younger generation of the powerful circle of the Loris Kingdom to have close contact with these outstanding foreign magical geniuses and cultivate friendly relations.

Although there is no politics in the four-house competition, it is difficult to judge whether there is any special reason for interpersonal communication. Besides, even if the royal family of Loris really wants to attract talents, it is not to say that they are hungry and thirsty enough to attack a group of immature teenagers and girls with the names of geniuses, rather than risk offending other countries to attract a future talent who needs to be carefully cultivated to be able to grow alone, Loris should directly win over those free magicians who come to watch the ceremony.

Therefore, the attitude of the other three colleges to the dinner is also supportive. After all, these teenage geniuses, despite their talent for magic, are about or perhaps worse than children of their age in terms of interpersonal communication, and have such an opportunity to interact with their well-bred peers. It can be regarded as a mood adjustment for these children before the subsequent competition.

Cillus originally wanted to attend the dinner with her teammates from her freshman team, but Sekaria suddenly appeared at the second training ground that had become the stronghold of the freshman team more than an hour before the evening dinner began, and dragged her out directly on the grounds that "Ceroth's evening dress is kept with me", and the two of them went to the royal manor in the dinner hall first.

“...... Leah, that's really good......"

Riding unhurriedly through the splendid carriages of the streets of the elegant aristocratic quarter, Chelus asked absent-mindedly.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

"Didn't tonight's dinner say that the members of the same team should attend together?"

"It's okay~ You see, I didn't come to the venue by myself first, and I didn't go with Xia Li and them. ”

"That's not the same," Chelus rolled her eyes, "today's dinner is nominally your brother's private party. So your master's sister status naturally takes precedence over the identity of the representative team in the academy, but I'm a complete outsider and there is no reason to be special. ”

"Don't worry, it's a big deal, you wait for your teammates at the manor and they come before you come into the venue? Didn't I say hello to Langton and them on your behalf when we left, they wouldn't have any problem with you. ”

Sekaria said, some with a teasing expression.

"At least, I think if you leave it there alone. Finally, if you wear your school uniform to the dinner. Your teammates may have a much bigger opinion than letting you go ahead alone. ”

Chelus's face flushed slightly...... Well, she really didn't even think about buying a Rausch evening dress at all.

What's wrong with the school uniform!What's wrong with the school uniform!What's the school!!The school uniform of my big Loris National College is dignified and elegant, graceful, luxurious, mighty, domineering, not an evening dress, better than an evening dress...... School uniforms, how hard do you build them!

Seeing that Cheruth was a little embarrassed but unwilling to admit her mistake, Sekaria couldn't help but be a little amused, even the students from the three foreign academies had evening dresses specially customized by the Loris royal family according to the standard body proportions for them to choose from tonight, if this girl really wore a school uniform to the dinner tonight, it would be really a foreign appearance.

"Many of my custom-made dresses from previous years have not been worn yet, and they can't be worn anymore because of the change in figure, so I'll give them to you after this time. ”

Cheruth pouted.

"I don't often go to banquets like this. ”

Look at Cheruth's slightly angry look. Sekaria was a little angry and funny, and just wanted to say that as a close friend of the princess recognized by the noble circle of the kingdom, Celus, you will never have a shortage of opportunities to participate in banquets in the future. But then he seemed to think of something again, and his pretty face flushed slightly, and then coughed lightly.

"In this way, forget it, anyway, I have a lot of empty wardrobes here, and when you need it in the future, come to me and pick it at will~"

"Uh...... Hmmm......"

Cheruth looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was sitting across from her, with two eyes smiling and smiling at her very happy ♀ mood, and always felt as if she had overlooked something important.

Soon, Cheruth realized what she had overlooked.

The last time Cerus went to a dinner party with Secaria was nearly half a year ago, when Secaria personally helped Cerus, who had never been exposed to these things before, to choose a dress and help her change into it, and also carefully instructed and corrected her aristocratic social etiquette.

Half a year later, because her usual life has nothing to do with these things, Chelus has almost forgotten the things that Sekaria gave her last time.

Originally, she thought that it would be a big deal to sell cuteness and let Sekaria teach her patiently one more time, but it was only at the end of the day that she suddenly came to her senses...... Compared to the days when she had just reunited with herself, Sekaria has unintentionally become more and more active in the relationship between the two recently.

So, once again, with a relaxed learning mentality, Cheruth children's shoes were taught by Sekaria Laoshi's party etiquette, but this time they were unexpectedly blocked by Sekaria Laoshi in the large guest room in the royal manor for the two of them to change clothes, and they were ♀ trained to be ladylike ♀ in ♀ various senses.

Half an hour later, Secaria, dressed in a white tuxedo, walked out of the room with a bright face, and behind her, although she was wearing a very delicate and lovely pale yellow dress, she looked like she was gray and white, and her eyes were slightly blank.

“...... Li, Leah, I think you should give me some of your old dresses for me to take home, so that I won't have to bother you to change your clothes here......"

"It's okay Yo Ruth, you can actually borrow the room here casually, I won't bother at all~☆"

“..................”

Cheruth felt that maybe she should really take this freshman competition seriously, and with Sekaria's current state, if she didn't win the first place, maybe it would really turn into a big crisis of her chastity......

After the two of them changed their clothes, Secaria hurriedly went to find her brother Garnes, who had arrived at the manor in advance, to confirm the banquet tonight, while Cerus was resting in the reception room on the second floor and waiting for the arrival of her teammates.

A few minutes later, Cheruth met her teammates at the gate of the manor.

"Cheru...... Silk?"

Langton, a good old man in a modest evening gown, stood at the gate of the manor with wide eyes, looking up and down at his teammates who were both familiar and unfamiliar in front of him, and almost didn't dare to come forward to recognize him.

It's no wonder that although the usual Cheruth is a very cute half-big wolf-eared Lori image, but because of the powerful black-bellied image that was erected in front of everyone in front of everyone when he beat Robert from the beginning, and there is no ladylike appearance in her usual manners, several teammates' impression of Cheruth's appearance is limited to "cute children".

However, at this moment, wearing a small dress carefully designed and made by the royal tailor of the court, and because of Sekaria's advice before, the kind of casualness that is incompatible with the lady's temperament on her body has been restrained a lot, and the delicate and natural and natural moving appearance of Cheruth, who has already opened the mode of the quiet lady, simply gives these teammates who have met every afternoon for the past month a sense of amazement.

"Gui'an, Captain, and everyone, it's nice to see you. (To be continued.) )
