Volume 1 - Ouroboros and Black Irises Chapter 22 The Dispute between the Chief of the Armed Academy and the Supreme Thing
Yuanyi Academy, Armed Academy
The expansive school district is home to a large number of students, most of whom are coming to attend the next practical class. Although it is a bit incorrect to be a trajectory for hand-to-hand combat all day, the actual combat lessons here are more meaningful for real life and reality. However, the trajectory envoys are always confident and even arrogant, and this barbarian fighting style is not liked by many people. But just because you don't learn armed magic doesn't mean you can't visit. Every week (Wednesday), the Academy of Armed Magic holds a large test tournament, and even those who do not learn armed magic come to watch.
Armed magic is a self-defense technique that can strengthen oneself and be used to protect oneself and even attack opponents. This is a must-learn skill for mages who are generally weak, but Genxia lacks real bloody battles in modern times, and most mages don't need to fight to the death, so this magic is not promoted by the public. But that didn't stop students from studying and majoring in armed magic, which is still the most popular of the nine departments.
Today happens to be a Wednesday when regular test matches are held, which is the main reason why so many people gather here. Of course, if it's in the afternoon, then there will be a surge in numbers. In addition to the people who rushed here to take the next practical class, there were also some people who took advantage of the break to observe a little.
The training grounds of the Armed Academy are the largest among the nine academies, and their number is as high as thirty. It can be said that more than half of the area in this school district is occupied by the training grounds, and naturally, the area here is much larger than most school districts.
The ninth training ground, as the name suggests, is the ninth training ground. But at this time, there were a large number of students gathered here, even more than the people in the other training grounds combined, as if a grand finale was about to be held here.
Of course, there is indeed a heavyweight training match here, and in a sense, it can be regarded as the chief battle of the armed academy.
"Xiu, who do you like!?"
"I definitely support my eldest brother Wang Qilin!"
"Aren't you just owing money to others?"
"The pattern is small, and I deliberately use it as a trick to get in touch with people."
......
"When it comes to hand-to-hand combat strength, I am more optimistic about Wang Qilin, but this time it is said that there is no restriction on means, so this time I estimate that Lu Jia should win. Wang Qilin is not good at other magic, and armed magic is not suitable for fighting against other magic. ”
"This is obviously the chief battle of the so-called Armed Academy, how can it use other means of armed magic accidents?"
"Heh, no one thinks of this as a chief battle, why are we so energetic?"
"Aren't these rankings all applicable to folk circulation, shouldn't this be exciting, when will it take to wait?!"
The chatter of students filled the training grounds, and there was a real feeling of excitement before the game. They are all speculating about the outcome of this victory and defeat, and who will be awarded the title of "chief". As one of the participants, Lu Jia was sitting in the preparation room at the moment, thinking about something.
As outsiders say, he didn't take the outcome of this practice match very seriously, so he wasn't really thinking about the fight. But at this time, this tranquility seems to announce that an extraordinary event has happened. He just sat with his head bowed, his hands on his laps, and silent. The eyes that had always been sharp were a little dull at the moment, as if they were puzzled. But there was excitement in his eyes. His angular face was engraved with a ferocity that was different from his nature, and he bit his lower lip as if he was giving up on something.
Finally, he clenched his fists hard and looked up. His eyes were full of determination, and on his right hand, a red incantation was imprinted. As obscure as runes from ancient times, and as mysterious as magical spells.
The strange symbol on the back of his hand was a testament to the fact that he had been chosen, but it was clearly not the case. This spell mark is actually a kind of proof, or more like a key.
Lu Jia took out a white bandage from his bag and pressed it on his wrist to wrap the spell seal in a circle. Although most people don't know this thing, if it is exposed, it still has a bad impact, which he is still aware of.
He wrapped the bandage, double-checked, and then zipped the bag. Matters related to this "key", he plans to put it aside for now, and what should be done now is the current practice. Although he doesn't value this game himself, he can't let go of the water, and it's his style to give it his all.
With a blinding glow, he walked from the preparation room to the training ground. The oval-shaped arena is deliberately designed with stepped positions around it, as if this is how the world's competition venues are designed.
Seeing that Lu Jia, one of the protagonists, finally walked out, the surrounding audience was stunned at first, and then the cry reached a climax. It seems that the popularity of these two people in the Armed Academy and even the Yuanyi Academy is not bad, but I don't know if these people are here to join in the fun. But it can be seen that the fighting atmosphere here has indeed reached its peak.
The person standing opposite Lu Jia and waving around was none other than Wang Qilin, who had already arrived early to enliven the atmosphere. Of course, this does not mean that he values this match, as passers-by said, both of them see this game as a good exchange match, but Wang Qilin is more keen to fight passionately.
"Yo, Boy Lu is here."
Wang Qilin stopped interacting with the onlookers with a smile and turned to look at Lu Jiadao. However, Lu Jiazheng was hesitant to chat with him, after all, the two sides did not communicate much, and only occasional training matches were used as a communication point for the two. Of course, there are also families that also belong to the Integration Society. But this relationship naturally doesn't affect the two.
"Oh, why are your hands bandaged? Wounded? That's not a good idea. ”
Before Lu Jia could speak, Wang Qilin noticed his bandaged right hand in advance, and there seemed to be regret in his words, probably thinking that he couldn't have a good time fighting. And the victory is not martial, this is not something Wang Qilin will do. However, Lu Jia did not evade, but bluntly solved his doubts:
"Don't worry, if it's not in the way, you can treat it as a decoration."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and moved his wrist, signaling that Wang Qilin's hand was normal. However, although Wang Qilin accepted Lu Jia's statement, it seemed to misunderstand him into another meaning.
"Eh, Brother Lu, do you still have such a preference? I didn't expect it to be a secondary disease. Eh, I have a friend who is also in secondary school, maybe you can talk......"
"Let's get started..... King... Brother Wang. ”
Lu Jia said something he was not good at, interrupting Wang Qilin's talking. It's not that I don't like to talk to people, but the current atmosphere is too optimistic to sit down and talk. For both, the sooner you finish the game, the most benefit.
"Are you so anxious, Brother Lu, don't you promote friendship before the war?"
Wang Qilin tried to establish a communication network with Lu Jia again, but under normal circumstances, maybe he would try to talk to Wang Qilin. But if it's in front of so many people, it's not very suitable, and people are still looking forward to the two of them fighting.
"Alright, alright, it's almost time, so let's get started."
Wang Qilin is not embarrassed by Lu Jia, friendship, it can be cultivated slowly, and there is no hurry for a while.
This game does not need to be supervised by the referee or the faculty and staff, both of them are measured in the face of this situation, and in public, they will naturally not do their best, but they will also give each other respect by giving seven or eight points of their strength.
"Brother Lu, I won't be merciful just because this is a training match, so be prepared."
"Me too."
The two stood at opposite ends of the field, reminding each other. Of course, this is just a polite remark on the scene, how much effort is actually made, both of them can grasp it, at least it will not hurt the harmony. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but friendship should not be given up casually.
"Then ....... Let's get started!"
......
"Toot-toot-"
Chen Yunming listened to the ringtone of his mobile phone, waiting for the other party to pick it up. But it seems that there is something else going on on that side.
"Can't get through, Lao Wang's phone. I guess it's about to start, so I'm already going to prepare. ”
Chen Yunming hung up the dial that had been ringing, and immediately put the phone in his pocket.
"It doesn't matter~ I don't particularly want to see it anyway~ I've already got what I want anyway......"
Liu Ruoxi sat next to Chen Yunming, shaking happily while secretly saying in her heart. But she didn't say it, just pretended to look around at the scenery, as if the situation in front of her had nothing to do with her. The two of them had just returned from their dormitory and were on the subway to the Armed Academy.
"Who let Xiaomiya often lie to me, I don't immediately confirm that I am not at ease."
Liu Ruoxi responded, apparently intending to exonerate herself. Although it is true that Chen Yunming always coaxes her with this matter, but in fact, he doesn't act every time.
“...... Well~ Anyway, Lao Wang is not in a hurry to go, forget it if you go late......."
It seems that Chen Yunming also understands that he is at a loss, so he immediately scratched the tip of his nose and changed the topic and compromised.
"Hmph~Hmph~Hmph~"
Liu Ruoxi was humming a song on the side, holding a card in her hand. It seems that because of it, the girl is in a particularly good mood.
"The red shattered "Beyond the Future", hahahaha, it's all now. Now, not only am I not afraid of Komiya's "Night in the Orchid Garden", but I can also blind his eyes! Hahahaha~"
"Snap"
"Be quiet and stupid."
"Woo~"
The girl laughed loudly, as if announcing a victory of something. However, Chen Yunming immediately gave her a brain collapse and made her cover her head and be quiet. Obviously, this card is the "supreme thing" that Chen Yunming promised her before.
