CHAPTER XXV

() "Name."

"Jack Nieman."

"Groups."

"Swordsman's Division."

"We're going to help you draw a color image now, and you can try to pose one."

"Styling?"

"Yes, so that the judges can get to know you."

"Is that okay?"

"Absolutely."

A hand-painted image of a pair of scissors appeared on Wentijun Square, his black dress, the red pattern on it is extraordinarily deep because of the black background, the corners of his slightly hooked mouth are full of confidence, his deep black eyes look straight ahead, the trimmed eyebrows are long, at first glance, the lady helped to trim it, his golden white hair is actually very long, probably deliberately left some slightly longer hair when trimming.

The person on the painting smiled slightly, tilted his head slightly, and the amplitude was very small. The whole color image is such a simple action.

His name is at the bottom of the image, written in an ancient duchy script that is now too complicated to be written as an official name.

Looking at the color image of Chang Yu Feng again, there are hundreds of color images of the participating children arranged around the huge arena, and the arena built in the air covers the entire Wenti County Square, and expands in the form of a ring-shaped silver cup, below the field, the original Wenti County Square has become a rest area and waiting area under the high platform, and the "Silver Cup" arranges the audience seats, the judges' seats and the commentary seats, and the three seats are separated, facing the super broad formal stage.

The different competition areas are divided into different square rooms by high walls.

A total of 308 six-year-olds will participate in the Izuryu Festival. There are 64 areas here. During the primary audition, no one knows anyone, and the participating children will be directly drawn by lot in the group.

But not today.

Today, in addition to registration, it is a pre-competition evaluation and scoring. The scoring staff are all judges assigned by Fran, that is, the absolute authority, the audience can not know the children of the department, but the judges must personally deal with these children one by one.

The regulator is the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In fact, the complexity of this is somewhat obscure. For example, the judges' preferences, the judges' recognition, and even the judges' personality will become the luck component in the mouths of the contestants, that is, the right time and place.

After all, it is a human evaluation, and in addition to the strength ranking of the duel competition cannot be deviated, there may be an obvious error.

It can only be said that it is relatively fair.

The same judges will naturally have different opinions about different children.

Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as the regulator, has a heavy responsibility. From the judges' information to the evaluation criteria, it needs to be kept strictly confidential.

So why do pre-match and post-match evaluations instead of directly taking a matchup to score the winner?

There are actually many reasons, in addition to screening for the requirements of the Royal Academy of Flando, the other most important reason is the need to avoid the culture of heroes based on strength.

This is important.

If strength is simply summarized as combat power, then intelligence is a part of strength, and a person's talent selection will be too extreme.

If everyone pursues great power, then there will be no stable environment for people to live well and enjoy the joy of life.

It's like whether or not a magician should be a farmer to produce food is an eternal debate. The value of those who could not learn magic, and who could not pursue other professions, was also debated in every corner of the principalities and empires.

So...... As one of the most open cities, the first thing to do in Fran is to try to think and solve problems. This is not a question of fairness or unfairness, but a step-by-step process of exploration.

Speaking of Changyu Feng's side, they have already finished registering, and now they have to go to the judges for evaluation.

The painted portrait of the long feather maple is at the end of the circular "silver cup", and there is a slightly longer space vacant. Next to his painted portrait are also the portraits of many children, but in comparison, the long feather maple with Emina's makeup is delicate like a small flower egg.

To be precise, the little black egg in black clothes.

"So...... Why is the portrait of Tsai in such a remote place? Emina looked at the portrait on the blue curtain with her waist crossed.

"Mom, isn't this one ranked first according to whoever looks good?" Erica fiddled with her long dress as she asked.

"Of course not!" Emina angrily took Erica's hand and rushed to the gate of the arena, surrounded by many parents who came to see their children, although they talked and laughed, but without exception they all sighed slightly.

This is the end of the "Silver Cup", which is naturally a very bad position. It will take some time to get here from the original position, and Emina's face is even worse when he looks all the way.

"There are so many places ahead!" Emina walked outside the arena, looking at the vacant positions, anger already on his face.

She knew what that meant, of course, but Erica was only following her here, and Erica's painted image was so close that she could see it at the end of the "silver cup" at once.

"Let's go meet your father." Amina shook her head and said, "Let's see if we can remedy it."

When he said this, Rajer had already come out with Long Feather Kaede. It's just that Rajer also looks angry. They were followed by the Allen family.

"How?"

"Not good...... The name Nieman can only be like that. Rajer held a small sign in his hand and showed it to Amina.

It was a very ordinary sign with 258 engraved vertically, without any special patterns.

"Is there no way to communicate?" Emina held the sign in her hand and shook it, as if that would change the numbers on it.

Don't even think about it, this kind of thing must be encrypted, and it will be detected as soon as it is changed.

There are 308 children who have collected information, and more than 340 are participating in the competition.

"You must not have imagined that the village chief has already given a lot of face and promoted Tsai by as much as 30 places." Rajel covered his face and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Huh?" Amina looked at the long feather maple who spread her hands again, and she didn't know what to say.

"Hey...... It's okay! Alan came to Rajer's side at this time and patted Rajel's shoulder: "What does it matter, Jack's goal is Fran, right, if you go to Fran, every opponent will have to be defeated!" These rankings are all imaginary. ”

"Hmm...... But it's really hard to do this......" Rajer still smiled and glanced at Emina: "Doesn't Erica have a good starting position either?"

"Rarity is 235, but Rarity is a summoner...... It doesn't matter to anyone...... She didn't need to do it anyway. "Emina was still looking at the sign, and she was a little uncomfortable.

"That's the right idea!" Alan smiled happily: "Although I know that our family Serena has no way to beat the girl named Lily, I still encourage her to face the strong enemy."

Serena...... Against...... Lilia? Amina looked in amazement at Serena standing not far away, and the mother and son stood quietly waiting for their husband and father Alan.

"Isn't it Lily?" Alan looked at Amina with some confusion.

"It's Lilia, yes, but now isn't the time to talk about this, is it really okay for Serena to talk about it now?" Amina also had a sad face, and it seemed that she had been a little unlucky since she took the boy to the hospital today.

"It's okay...... Even if she was studying in Wentishire, Serena should have no problem. That's okay. Alan touched his chin, his eyes still on Changyu Feng.

"Do you have any opinions?" Rajer shook the long feather maple.

Chang Yu Feng was distracted. I haven't spoken since it just started.

"It's okay...... It doesn't matter who your opponent is. Chang Yu Feng sent a shoulder, he had been paying attention to the crowd coming and going here just now, although they were all children, but most of them were people with a certain strength, in order to deal with this dragon conference, it was impossible for people without strength to participate, even if it was a novice sword novice wand, there had been a very serious injury.

Those who catch ducks on the shelves basically suffer losses, and this situation is actually quite normal.

I am No. 258, and when I conduct a draw matchup, I draw the first half of the children to play against him. If there are 340 six-year-olds participating in the current registration period, 170 previous names will be drawn.

The normal logic is that there is a duel between the east and west halves, when registering for the assessment, the artificial ranking is determined in the half of the district, and then the group is drawn, in order to avoid the appearance of odd groups, the character who has the first place in the evaluation will be drawn to change the group.

However, because it is a lottery that does not know the specific situation, it does not matter which group it is divided into.

Anyway, only the final first place in the final group will have the qualification to go to the Royal Academy of Flando.

However, there are mysterious things in this, most of the strong children will be assigned to the front ranking, just like the privilege of the first place in the evaluation, why is the first place in the evaluation privileged?

If you ask, then their answer must be: this thing can't be explained, this is the rule, according to the rules of the Izuri Conference. How else can we say that pre-match evaluations are important?

The first place in the evaluation of the Izuku Conference was Holtartus

The painted image of Hall drawing his sword and looking down at all beings is at the beginning of the silver cup, Hall's blonde hair and his armor, just looking at it, it is impossible to tell that he is only six years old, his equipment is incomparable at a glance, compared to other children, but it is more accurate to describe that it is different from other children in strange costumes, like the roaring gaze of a lion is enough to eliminate a group of people.

Such precociousness naturally had something to do with his family, and Tyatus was an absolute nobleman, not comparable to the Nieman surname as a peasant.

It can only be said that in order not to deal a blow to the psychology of children, it is understandable that the first place in the evaluation will be excluded in the first round.

And next to Hall, the image is Lilia Carolin Lilia with white hair with bangs, the corners of her mouth are hooked on the image, blinking forward, her left hand is pushed forward with a palm, and her right hand is holding a wand straight back, but because of the playful winking, she is more approachable than the former, she looks relatively petite and delicate, very cute.

The biggest difference between one and two is not that one plus one equals two.

It's one is one, and two is two.

The Carolingian family is also a very prestigious family. In fact, Rajer and Emina are no stranger to such pre-game evaluations, but Changyu Feng is "underestimated" because of his status as a farmer's son, or rather, a "very normal" evaluation and a stress reaction.

While not every parent feels that their child is unique and irreplaceable, Rajer and Emina genuinely hope that Kaede Nagawa and Erica will be able to get rid of Niemann's nail-like surname

Because, this surname is made up by yourself, and it is something that does not exist.

Whether it's Rajerneman or Amina Neman, it's all non-existent.

Arya Elizabeth Lal Farid is the real one in front of him.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who the opponent is." Chang Yu Feng said repeatedly: "Uncle Alan is right, as long as my goal is Fran, I must defeat these opponents and get the first place." There is no difference in essence. ”

In fact, the score gap in the assessment is not so exaggerated, and the purpose of setting up such a serious dragon conference must be to really absorb young talents, but the people of the big family do have a good education through the evaluation, even if there is no so-called underworld participation, just the food of the people of the big family can supplement the magic capacity, and the children of ordinary families really can't conduct actual evaluation and evaluation with them.

With his eyes closed, he said that the children of ordinary families were stronger than the children of the aristocracy, and I was afraid that he would make a fuss.

It can't compare to the innate than the acquired, it can't compare to the acquired adventure, and it can't compare to the adventure than the mutation. It's normal, right?

"Jack isn't worried, your parents' worries really don't make sense." Alan patted Rajel on the shoulder and said: "Since your children are so confident, you should believe that he is, Serena and Lilia I will not hesitate to believe in my family Serena, because only by believing in her will she really think about more things." There can be gaps, but you have to be motivated, don't you say? Jack! ”

Alan gave a thumbs up to his much younger Changyu Feng, in fact, he didn't leave Serena against Lilia for three sentences, and he felt a little pity, he was going out in the first round, but Alan really loves his family, so, as he said, Lilia is notoriously powerful, as long as Serena does her best and does not back down, it will also be of great help to her growth, although, maybe he prefers Jack a little more.

"Hmm!" Chang Yu Feng also responded to him with a thumbs up.

To be honest, my opponents are all children, and I can't bear to beat them. It's the only way they can get to Fran, who isn't? Everyone is the same, but Chang Yu Feng himself knows that as an intervener, those among them who could have gone to Fran may not be able to go to Fran in this life.

"Okay...... I just think it's a pity...... Our family is really more than 258 ......" Rajer sighed and touched Chang Yufeng's head: "Although I can only accept it, I still hope to have a good ranking."

"It's okay! Dad can rest assured! Nagayu Kaede pointed his thumb at Rajel and smiled.

Seeing him like this, Amina, who couldn't say anything, could only follow him with both hands and clench his fists and encourage: "Boy! Come on! ”

"Hmmm! Come on! Nagawa Kaede responded.

There are a lot of people walking through here, people coming and going, all of them are discussing tomorrow's showdown, there are sighs, and there are also excited voices.

"By the way, why is Rarity higher than Boy?" Rajel took Long Feather Kaede to sign up for the evaluation, and Amina took Erica to the evaluation, and the ranking was 30 places behind, which was the last thing he expected.

"Huh?" Erica hugged the somewhat drowsy Elaine and lifted it up, "I don't know ...... either"

"When they asked you why you were in the Dragon Tournament, what did Rarity answer?"

"I ...... It's fun......"

"That'...... What do you mean when they ask you if you want to be number one? ”

I said...... Forgot ......" Erica scratched her head, a little embarrassed.

"She said she wanted to end her trip to Fran early to eat dragon meat." Elaine angrily kicked her little paw in the air.

"Maybe it's because they think Rarity is hidden...... Elaine adds.

"Hey...... Erica smiled sheepishly.

"What did the boy say?" Emina glanced at the people who walked by, they were also dressed in fancy clothes, and they probably also wanted to get a good impression.

"I said I wanted to go to Fran and I would definitely get first."

"That's understandable, they don't like kids who are too confident. Even if it's true. They will also think that you are too conceited. ”

Fifty minutes ago

Rajer took Long Feather Maple to the evaluation point, according to the rules, Rajer had to stay on the lower level of the evaluation area, that is, the lowest level of the entire inner arena, and Long Feather Maple went up through a magic carpet that could be raised and lowered.

The room under the magic blanket is filled with waiting people, densely packed in line, and the children who have finished the evaluation will also ride the lifting blanket down.

The entire review is at the bottom of the arena. There are many people waiting under the built "Silver Cup" stadium.

Look at the lively people, traders, and a lot of crow-speaking security guards, plus the patrols, before the official duel has begun, they are crowded, plus every time a person is evaluated, a person's painted image will come out on the circular blue screen of the "silver cup", every person's image, watching the lively will have a long time of spontaneous discussion.

From life experience, to strength, the preference gossip of the re-posting evaluator will be taken out. There is even more speculation about why this ranking is not that one.

I don't know who is real and who is fake.

Nagayu Feng went upstairs and came to the evaluation room, where there was a surveyor and rows of evaluators.

Facing the evaluator, Chang Yu Feng sat upright on a special stool, the stool was very soft, and he couldn't move his butt when he sat on it.

They didn't ask questions, they just watched Chang Yu Feng's every move.

Nagawa Kaede sat there...... Nothing to do...... I can only look at the serious evaluators one by one, and they are all in front of Rajer's submissions.

After a long silence, Chang Yu Feng just looked at them, not knowing the name of the evaluator, and not knowing what the evaluators wanted to do together, so he could only wait for them to ask questions.

But for a long time, they just didn't ask questions, just stared at Chang Yu Feng, it was very bright here, and the faces of those evaluators were even whiter, but no matter how they were stared at for so long, children would be afraid. And Chang Yu Feng just looked at them, sitting upright, as if looking at their wood for a while.

After looking at each other, they finally began to ask questions, which were not really much nourishing, and a person's true thoughts would have changed with age, and there would be no standard answers. So it's all simple questions.

But after answering, these people all shook their heads a little.

When he was leaving, Chang Yufeng finally heard a person comment on him: "If a six-year-old child loses his fear of people, he can't be called a child, he should be called a machine, even adults will be afraid when they are stared at like this, but this little child doesn't feel a trace of fear, and he doesn't have timidity to say that he is very calm." It's worth my high marks. ”

"But...... I think it's probably too mature, and it gives me a bad premonition...... I think I was forced to be like this by my parents. The man next to him said, "Can a child who has been deprived of his child's nature really go far in Fran?"

"I agree with you, so I don't give you a high score, and going to Fran will only take the wrong path." Another person said the same.

"I don't mean to belittle the peasant, it's not easy for a peasant to teach such a child, don't you see the sincerity in his eyes? Even if he is beyond the ordinary coldness and does not look like a child, it is a good time to have such qualities. ”

"So...... Did Marlena give a high score? ”

"Yes, this kind of calmness can't be pretended, he is a person with such qualities, I believe he will be a manufacturable material, not everyone can do it without fear in danger."

"Marlena, are you taking our gaze as a danger?"

"Hahaha, of course not, Professor Shore. You know what I mean. ”

"I think so, he can follow me to study archaeology, I need to be calm in despair the most important young man, you know the little fat man I taught? I was stupefied by what was going underground. And he said above that the strength is also good, I think I can give a high score after the end. ”

"Thank you for the recognition, Pyros."

"Although the two of you are on the same page, the others don't seem to think so...... 288. ”

"It's a bit unbelievable that you guys gave such a low score. Professor Shore! ”

"Quiet, that's everyone's review. Marlena. ”

"Well, I respect their opinion. Principal Philip, but this is too strange, the purpose of our visit to Wenti County is to take a look at the child that Long Whisker said, although we don't know how malleable he is, but for now, I think it's okay, his conversation is gentle, like chatting with us, not like a review. ”

"This is where he is valuable, but if it is really a chat, his score may be lower than that of the tutors."

"Okay...... I have nothing to say. ”

"Don't be like this Marlena, the headmaster is not an absolute authority! I'm sending Ross to give him a perfect score today. ”

"Pyros ...... This is no joke......"

"I know, Headmaster, I know."
