The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the air swallows thousands of miles like a tiger.

A hunting team held the battle flag, marched forward, circled the hunting ground, and finally stood in front of the rostrum.

On the rostrum, the furnishings and seats are the same as the opening ceremony. It's just that the big red curtains, which were originally in a single color, were replaced with four-color curtains of the four colleges because of the closing ceremony. The emblem of the Nine Heavens and Circles, the silver α of the Alpha Academy, the iron triangle of Atlas, and the six-pointed star of the Starry Sky Academy are arranged neatly around the left and right sides of the triangular body of the First University, hanging in mid-air above the curtain, shining in the sun.

Mighty waves of magic swirled and flowed slowly between the curtains.

The deans of the Nine Colleges of the First University, the emeritus old deans and honorary professors, the in-service senior professors and chief lecturers of the First University, the senior old school workers of the school working committee, and some representatives of the research institutes sat at the left end of the central axis in turn, just like the opening ceremony.

Outsiders who had come to attend the opening ceremony, including representatives of many famous wizarding families such as Karen, O'Brien, Jiang family, Zhang family, etc., as well as representatives of other wizarding groups such as the Gypsy Witch Order, the Teutonic Knights, the Trinity Brotherhood, Longhu Mountain, Baiyun Temple, etc., as well as representatives of some famous hunting teams and diplomats from extraterrestrial civilizations, sat on the right side of the central axis on a first-come, first-served basis.

In the stands around them, the cheers were higher and higher, and even if the small trumpeters behind the chairs held back the vines purple, they couldn't suppress the enthusiasm of the students, and their voices became weaker and weaker.

Especially when everyone knows that Su Shijun is still sitting in the stands.

In particular, I heard that those famous hunting teams will sign up many excellent hunters from many schools on the spot after the closing ceremony.

Standing at the forefront of all hunting teams is the adjudication hunting team.

Hoffman dragged a huge demon snake and stood at the front of the hunting party. On the head of the serpent is the Libra banner of the Judgment Hunting Team. Behind him, the other hunters of the Ruling Hunting Team used a few slender glowing ropes to lead a few monsters such as jackals and tigers. And looking around, the other hunting teams standing behind the ruling hunting team also have their own 'live prisoners'.

In addition to death, many of the demons on the hunting ground will be captured by the hunting team and taken out of the hunting ground. Because compared to the dead demon, the living demon creates more profits - for example, demon blood, a dead demon can only provide three or five liters of blood, and these demon blood has the possibility of being contaminated, while a living demon can provide a steady stream of demon blood - not to mention all kinds of magic plants, potions, talismans, etc. involving demons, laboratories for major hunting teams, etc., all have a huge demand for living demons.

As for the food source for raising demons, wizards have long learned to use alchemy to synthesize magical 'feed'.

Of course, in any case, raising demons is a very dangerous and controversial topic. There are only a few institutions such as the First University and the Moon Council that have obtained the relevant permission of the Wizarding Alliance.

The hunting team, on the other hand, can exchange these transactions for the various resources that the hunters urgently need to help them go further on the path of wizards. So, in general, the more powerful the hunting team, the more they like to catch live demons on the hunting ground - these prey obtained in the hunting ground, whether dead or alive, belong to the hunting team itself, and the organizers of the hunting party will only take a small commission from it.

On the one hand, this is to motivate young wizards to form their own hunting teams and obtain the resources they need to become wizards, and on the other hand, it is also a long-standing tradition in the wizarding world. Other famous tournaments, including the 'World Cup', 'Zeus Cup' and 'Super Hunting Ground', always follow this principle.

Of course, compared to the cross-world 'Super Hunting Ground' or the cross-continental 'Zeus Cup', the 'Academy Cup' is not large in scale and intensity, but it is the event with the largest concentration of the best young hunters in the wizarding world. The name is bigger, and correspondingly, the organizers of the hunting party will be more generous. Even the derivative events with the hunting club, such as the freshman competition in which Zheng Qing participated, also received such discounts.

When the many hunting teams participating in the competition finished lining up one by one under the stage, and the atmosphere in the stands around them cooled down a little, Lao Yao stood up with a tall staff and took two steps forward.

He raised his hand, and the void pressed it.

A heavy pressure suddenly enveloped everyone. The sky over the originally noisy hunting ground instantly fell silent. Everyone focused their attention on Lao Yao, who was standing in front of the rostrum.

"I've forgotten how many times I've participated in the 'House Cup'. ”

"But I'm still glad to see a steady stream of young, fresh faces in our hunting grounds. ”

"This is the luck of First University. ”

"The goal of the First University is to cultivate young wizards with dreams who have accumulated rich knowledge, can give full play to their talents, have their own perseverance and belief in their hearts, and can protect the starry sky outside. ”

"Fortunately, all four of our colleges are working hard to live up to their mission and traditions......

Zheng Qing was listening intently to Lao Yao's speech, and suddenly someone poked his arm.

He looked back.

"See, on the stage, he is an incumbent dean. Xiao Xiao lowered his voice and whispered: "It seems that the school also knows that something can't be hidden, so it simply reveals it openly...... Anyway, no one dared to attack the idea of school. ”

Zheng Qing moved the binoculars in his hand and swept them to the seats behind the rostrum.

Sure enough, as Xiao Xiao said, except for Lao Yao, the three principals and the other three deans were nowhere to be seen on the stage. Although there were still a few gray-haired old wizards with the titles of 'Honorary Vice Principal' and 'Honorary Dean' on the sign in front of them sitting behind Lao Yao, they were more like some kind of mascots, drowsy and wandering out of the world.

"Something, what's it?" Zheng Qing asked in a low voice as he turned his binoculars. On more than one occasion, he had heard others speculate that something big seemed to be brewing at the school—it seemed that including the early return of the Silent Forest this year, was due to this—and that many of the school's senior wizards were dealing with it.

"How do I know!" Xiao Xiao's tone obviously revealed a bit of dissatisfaction: "If I knew, I'm afraid I wouldn't be sitting here watching the game." ”

"Well, yes. Zheng Qing smacked his lips and suddenly reacted: "However, last week's courses such as magic texts and divination, we still took them normally......"

"Just relatively. They don't waste their precious time on this kind of closing ceremony. And I doubt how long they can teach us......" Saying this, Xiao Xiao suddenly lost his voice, and then called out in a strange tone: "Eh, that's Su Shijun! she's waving at me?!!"

Zheng Qing's hair exploded, and he suddenly felt a chill hit his face.
