After the summer break, as new students arrived at the school, Espura, Yi Tianshu, Faisali and Kimiro became second-year students.

The positions of male and female student council presidents are held by Masford and Eliza, respectively. As they became the president of the student council, their cloaks were replaced with their respective family badges. Eliza's cloak is pure blue with a white castle on it, while Masford's cloak is dark green with a golden scimitar and silver bow and arrows crossed by each other.

Soon an important day arrived.

Magic Cup!

On this day, all classes were suspended, and in the morning, all teachers and students gathered in the auditorium to look in the direction of the high platform with great anticipation.

I saw Principal Epsdamon standing on the high platform and shouting, "Ladies and gentlemen! Let's watch the opening ceremony of the 2023 Magic Cup! ”

Principal Eps Damon waved his arm suddenly, and a huge crystal barrier suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The students all applauded when they saw this.

At this time, a picture slowly appeared on the crystal barrier, and then a young male voice came from the barrier.

"Jinfamen Radio Transmission Station, this is the Changbai Mountain Magic Arena in the Eastern Middle Earth Region! The scene of the opening ceremony of the 2023 Magic Cup. Now the venue is performing a pre-ceremony performance. ”

As the music of Oriental Middle-earth is played, Espena sees a vibrant forest appear on the crystal barrier, and as the camera changes, she slowly arrives at an incomparably huge Oriental Middle-earth Magic Arena with a strong sense of history.

At this time, in the central square of the arena, many children dressed in colorful costumes danced beautiful weaving in their hands that looked like a lion's head. Ai Aspuna looked at Yi Tianshu curiously and asked softly, "Yi Tianshu?" What are they dancing? It's so beautiful. ”

Yi Tianshu said with a smile: "This is called lion dance, lion dance, is an excellent folk art in the East, and it was also called "Taiping Music" in ancient times.

The lion is made of strips of colored cloth, and each lion is generally performed by two people, one dancing the head and the other dancing.

Under the music of gongs and drums, the performers dress up as Rui beasts and make various forms of movements in order to be festive and auspicious. The performance is very masculine.

The lion dance is considered to be a mascot to ward off evil spirits and avoid harm, and there must be a lion dance to help the fun every festival or major event, which has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

Espurna nodded and looked at the crystal barrier with a look of surprise.

At this time, a sweet female voice came from the barrier.

"The children celebrate the opening of the 2023 Magic Cup with sincerity and enthusiasm."

Male voice: "The east wind returns with the autumn, friends from all over the world come as promised, and the performance before the ceremony shows the beautiful Orient in a unique way of the Orient." ”

As the children of the lion dance gathered, a magic cup sign slowly appeared in the center of the square.

At this time, the auditorium was thunderous with applause, and almost all the teachers and students were cheering.

At this time, Espena saw more than a dozen children on both sides of the square running to the middle, waving to everyone, and then posing in various sports poses.

Then the children suddenly formed a circle, and suddenly a huge rag doll appeared in the middle of the square. I saw that this doll was black and white all over, and the two big black circles looked very cute.

Aispurna immediately fell in love with this cute little doll, and then pulled Yi Tianshu's sleeve and asked, "Yi Tianshu!" Yi Tianshu! Look, what is this? It's so cute! ”

Yi Tianshu smiled and said, "This is an iron-eating beast, also known as a giant panda!" Hahaha. ”

Male voice: "In the arena, the children danced their hands to welcome the arrival of this white and lovely magic spell, and the atmosphere of the magic cup immersed everyone in the sea of joy. ”

At this moment, Aspuna heard enthusiastic applause and cheers from within the crystal barrier.

Male voice: "The eleven elders of the Eastern Middle Earth Brocade Sect, together with the representatives of each magic region, dignitaries, members of the royal family, and the head of the International Magic School Committee, entered the venue together. ”

Male voice: "Holding the 2023 Magic Cup is a solemn commitment we make to the magical society. ”

Female voice: "Hold the 2023 Magic Cup to witness our determination to promote the concept of building a community with a shared future in magic and maintain peace in the magical world." ”

At this time, Espurna saw countless scenes of previous matches flashing on the crystal barrier, and with the countdown on the scene, the hostess said excitedly: "With the countdown cleared, the opening ceremony of the 2023 Magic Cup officially begins!" ”

Immediately after that, Aspuna saw countless Eastern Middle-earth magicians in the square holding magic wands, and countless fireworks flew out of the wands and rushed into the sky.

At this time, Espurna suddenly saw an ice-blue ink falling from the sky in the sky, and then transformed into a turbulent river.

The rolling river poured down, and in an instant, the entire venue was rushing with the rolling river.

The river slowly froze, and the rushing scene gradually quieted down, turning into a world of ice.

At this moment, a huge ice cube slowly rose from the ground.

Espurna looked nervously at the scene in front of her.

The light and shadow on the Ice Cube flickered, and the logos of the previous magic cups were revealed, and at this time, more than thirty blue mage phantoms appeared around the square, and then collectively turned into ink and rushed towards the Ice Cube.

At this time, the time of the Ice Cube stopped at the 2023 Magic Cup.

At this time, six Eastern Middle-earth magicians appeared in front of the Ice Cube, and they waved their wands and counted the colored lights and flew towards the Ice Cube.

The colored light collided back and forth within the Ice Cube, and then the Ice Cube changed.

I saw the ice cube cracking and falling off layer by layer, as if something was about to rush out of the middle.

Then a crystal magic cup appeared.

At this time, the female voice said: "The crystal magic cup breaks the ice, and the ice breaking means breaking the barrier and approaching each other, and everyone is one." ”

Then the magic cup shone brightly.

The female voice said: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2023 Magic Cup athletes!" ”

The male voice said: "Delegation, the entrance ceremony begins!" ”

At this moment, Espurna saw five figures emerge from the light of the magic cup, the leader holding a pigeon flag with an olive branch in his mouth.

Female voice: "Now coming to us is the school of magic and wizardry of Aoi Retus. The five students of the Aoi Rets School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will participate in all the magic competitions, and the delegation from the Aoi Lets School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the birthplace of the Magic Cup, will be the first to enter. The next order will be divided by regions. ”

Immediately afterwards, a large number of school delegations with different characteristics entered the venue.

Every time a new school enters, the music of the scene changes.

At this time, the background sound suddenly became very solemn, and Faisali stood up excitedly and cheered.

"The Magic Academy of the Kingdom of Igat! The five students of the delegation of the Kingdom of Igat jointly carried the flag, which symbolized the honor of the Kingdom. They will be competing in all competitions except snow and ice! Espurna could clearly see the black cobra logo fluttering on the golden flag.

"The guide card in the hand of the on-site guide is made of oriental jadeite."

As several school delegations walked by, the female voice said, "Next, the next step is the Eps Damon School of Magic!" Five students from the Epst Damon Academy of Magic, who will compete in all the competitions! ”

At this time, in the school auditorium, all the teachers and students cheered and applauded, and the cheers resounded throughout the auditorium, as if they could lift the ceiling away!

Espurna could clearly see through the crystal barrier that Eliza, Penenina, Nelson, Ying Yuanhui, and Masford were wearing black magical robes, and the cape was embroidered with a golden school crest, and the blue flag in Masford's hand was painted with the school's colorful school crest.

But when it came to the Western Magic Region, he skipped it directly, and Kimiro suddenly said in surprise: "Won't it?" ”

Yi Tianshu also nodded and said, "Unbelievable? Faisali looked at the crystal barrier with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Espena asked curiously, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

Kimiro looked at Epuna with a puzzled expression and said, "Normally, in the past, the schools in the Western Magic Region appeared behind the Epsdamon Academy of Magic, but this time I actually skipped the two directly to the Northern Magic Region. This is the ...... of the representatives," said Kimiro, who suddenly fell silent.

Espurna hurriedly looked at Yi Tianshu.

Yi Tianshu said with a serious expression: "This means that the entire Western Magic Region refuses to participate in the Magic Cup. Espurna looked incredulous. She looked at Principal Epsdamon on the high platform, only to see him staring at the crystal barrier with a solemn expression.

At this time, the crystal screen suddenly sounded: "Next is the Siberian Women's Academy of Magic!" Five girls representing the Siberian Women's Academy of Magic will take part in all the competitions! "Speaking of which.

Kimiro stood up and shouted: "Look! The flag bearer is my sister! Lyanna Vecchier! Wow!! Espena looked at the girl who was carrying the flag, and saw that he was dressed in a gray and white magic robe, with beautiful blond hair and very beautiful brown eyes.

As the school representatives entered the stands one by one, the Oriental Magic area was the last to enter.

At this time, an excited voice came from the barrier: "The next one coming to us is the Shushan Magic Academy!" Five representatives from Shushan Academy of Magic will participate in all competitions. At this time, Espurna found that when the school of the Eastern Middle-earth Magic Region appeared within the barrier, Yi Tianshu's eyes seemed to be about to glow.

Next are Songshan Men's Magic Academy, Huashan Magic Academy, and Emeishan Magic Academy...... Wait, but what Espurna remembers vividly is the Jade Dragon Mountain Women's Magic Academy, who wore blue silver magic robes and exquisite silver crowns.

This made Aspuna more than just a dazzle.
