Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lothas, with a Stomachache
In the referee's bench in the corner of the training ground, the people who are ready to participate in the game are doing their own warm-up activities.
Leo had already finished warming up, so he took out the prepared list, checked the items he had prepared one by one, and made one last confirmation.
"Primary Endurance Elixir, Full Speed Potion, Swift Walking Modification, Speed Burst, Magical Armament, there should be nothing left. Leo quickly checked it and recalled the route map of the Tour de la Trophie in his head, making sure there were no mistakes in a few important positions.
As the minutes passed, the tense atmosphere became more and more intense, and many participants warmed up vigorously, and they were already sweating profusely before they even started.
Leo looked very calm, but did a few more squats to stretch his muscles to prevent him from suddenly speeding up and straining himself.
The girl named Benilesna looked at him so calmly, where was he coming to the competition, it was like he was coming for a spring outing.
After a little hesitation, she leaned over and said, "Leo, move quickly, the game will start in a while, and try to keep up with us, so that you can have a chance to complete the game." ”
"Okay, thanks. Leo could hear the other party's kindness and nodded politely.
Another participant in Intermediate Class 1, Yacardo, was a boy and a good person, and he thought that Leo was a little confused by the competition, so he comforted: "Leo, we have to run a total of ten kilometers, and it is very difficult not to practice, if you really can't do it, don't hold on, it's not cost-effective in case you get tired." ”
"Well, well, if it doesn't work, I'll definitely give up as soon as possible. Leo replied without hesitation, causing Benilesna to roll her eyes.
At this time, Lothas, who had never said a word, walked towards the sidelines.
Benilesna shouted, "Hey, Lorsas-san, the game is about to start, what are you going to do?"
Lothas turned around and said with a pale face, "I have a stomachache." Compare you, I'...... I abstained. ”
Stomach aches, wasn't it okay yesterday?
Leo couldn't help but be surprised.
With this guy's character, unless it really hurts, he will never give up the game.
Is it because you have eaten something bad?
But there is only one kind of food in the academy, and he is fine, and he shouldn't have anything to do.
Leo thought about it, but still found nothing, so he could only ask with concern: "How are you, it doesn't matter, right?"
"No...... It doesn't matter ......," Lothas replied with some difficulty, "often...... That's going to happen. Pass...... It'll be fine in a while. You guys...... Come on!"
After finishing speaking, Lothas seemed to be unable to bear it, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight holding his stomach.
Leo and Yacado looked at each other, until Benilesna, the only girl, looked thoughtful, not knowing what she was thinking.
Suddenly, a cheer erupted in the training ground.
The people waiting for the game thought that a freshman had finished the game, and hurriedly looked towards the entrance of the training ground, only to find that it was empty and there was nothing.
"Over there! over there!" someone quickly spotted the clue.
Everyone followed his gaze. It turned out that the circus had started to perform new shows again.
A dwarven cannon-like object was erected at the edge of the field, and on the other side, a target was erected.
Immediately afterwards, the girl who had just been used as a target for arrows actually got into the artillery.
"It's ...... Human cannon?" Leo was dumbfounded.
"Bang!"
A ball of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun. Leo guessed correctly, and the girl shot out like a cannonball.
Seeing such a scene, Leo's heart rose to his throat in an instant, and the girl's speed was too fast. If she was smashed directly on the ground, even if she had the strong body of a mid-level warrior, she would not be spared. And even if you hit the target, the result is probably the same.
The next moment. The girl hit the target accurately.
However, the expected flesh flew away, and the target did not shatter.
Only then did everyone notice that the target was not hard, but a soft and elastic net.
With this net, the girl unloaded her speed, fell to the ground as light as a swallow, and raised her hands high.
There was silence throughout the training ground, until one person was the first to applaud and the uproar erupted.
This show is so exciting, even a hundred times more exciting than the blindfold shooting just now!
At the same time, almost no one noticed that the first place winner of the freshman Tour the Island Race had entered the training ground, running towards the referee with difficulty.
Hearing the cheers, the freshman suddenly felt a shock in his spirit, and was about to speed up, finish the race, and enjoy the joy of being the winner, but was stunned to find that all the cheers were not for himself.
This situation made him almost black-eyed and threw himself on the ground.
Fortunately, the referee arranged by the academy was always faithful, and immediately after the freshmen crossed the finish line, they announced: "The first place in the freshman round the island, Anita Chella, 27 minutes and 13 seconds, the result is valid." ”
After a short time, the freshman contestants returned to the training ground one after another.
A referee walked up to the middle school and said in a stern tone: "Don't look at it, the game will start immediately, and everyone will return to their positions!"
The intermediate students knew that the competition was important, so they had to sigh and turn their heads and stand on the starting line one by one.
However, after this scene, the tension disappeared a lot, and many people even thought that they should hurry up and finish the game and come back to watch the circus show.
Leo, on the other hand, pondered that some of the entertainment was really good, and perhaps he should continue to write to Fran to make this kind of activity the norm.
The referee looked at the list in his hand, and the last freshman had returned and could start the intermediate competition, so he announced loudly: "Attention everyone, now I will repeat the rules of the game again!"
"From here, run three laps along the Sky Island, and after the third lap is completed, return to the training ground! Flying magic and teleportation magic are not allowed on the way, but magic potions below the intermediate level are used, but magic equipment is not allowed, and you must strictly follow the prescribed route, and once you violate the rules, you will be disqualified from the competition immediately. ”
"Now listen to me!"
The referee did not immediately start the countdown, but deliberately waited for a short time for the contestants to take the medicine and cast the spell.
After more than ten seconds, the mana fluctuations gradually stopped, and he continued: "Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, more than 20 contestants rushed out of the starting line in a swarm, and the fast ones had already run dozens of meters away, while Leo fell to the end in an instant.
"Instead of reducing the effects of magic and potions, they've increased it, how long can this last?" thought Leo, who had a gray face, very incomprehensible. (To be continued......)
