Chapter 8 The Intramural Qualifying Contest Begins
As Ashur finished a painful week, the college's annual intramural qualifying tournament was finally about to begin, and early that morning, Claure and the others set off to the guild to wake up Ashur, who was still sleeping lazily in the guild.
"What the hell do you want to do? I've had a hard time off this day, and besides, there's still three hours left before the school qualifying!" said Ashur as he looked at Chloe and the others with sad faces.
"It's only been three hours before the school qualifying tournament starts, and you're still sleeping here, do you want to lose the first game and shame yourself and the guild?" said Ellie, shaking Asher vigorously.
"I'm up, don't shake it. Asher shook his head and looked at Ellie, helplessly.
"Hurry up, let's go see the venue together, you haven't even been to the school's martial arts arena. Meleo asked, looking at Asher.
"Not really......" Asher nodded.
After coming to the arena, Ashur found that there were already many people who had enough to eat and nothing to do, and after seeing Ashur and several people, they all showed jealous eyes towards Ashur.
Ashur glanced boredly at the group of people who had nothing to do, and then moved his gaze to the competition field, which was four large square stone platforms, each about 300 meters in diameter, which was quite large for an average of only four or five order students.
The rules of the competition are divided into knockout rounds and finals, the knockout rounds are held at the same time in four venues, the top two in each venue are the top eight, and the next quarterfinals are held separately, because when it comes to the quarterfinals, everyone who can win can be said to stand at the peak of the college, and every game will be very exciting, so in order to facilitate students not to miss every wonderful game, and for the teachers and senior management of the college to carefully observe the advantages and disadvantages of these elite students, they are held separately in the morning and afternoon every day.
Seeing that the time was still early and there was still a while before the official competition, Ashur and a few people sat up in the audience first, as time passed, there were more and more people in the arena, and when it was time to play, Adolf, who was the vice dean, also appeared, but the dean did not appear, saying that Ashur had been in the academy for more than a year, but he had never seen the dean, in fact, most of the students and teachers of the academy rarely saw the dean, and the dean rarely appeared in public, and everyone only knew that the dean was in retreat and practiced in retreat.
Vice Dean Adolf saw that Vermeo and Luna immediately shook off the surrounding academy officials and walked over happily, and Luna was also very happy to see Adolf, and called out sweetly to Grandpa Adolf.
Adolf lovingly touched Luna's head and looked at Vermeo, but Vermeo snorted coldly and ignored Adolf.
Adolf smiled awkwardly, told them to be careful, and then looked at Asher, a student who had no merit in his eyes, sighed, and turned back to the top of the auditorium, ready to start the speech of the school qualifying competition.
Adolf walked to the top of the audience, glanced at the audience and contestants below, and said lightly: "First of all, I want to say that the annual qualifying competition in the courtyard that everyone is looking forward to has finally begun, although I hope everyone can get good results in the competition, but in fact, in this world, some people are destined to fail, and everyone's success is just an ideal." ”
"But what I really want to say to everyone is that even if you lose, don't be discouraged or confused, because failure does not mean the end, because there is still tomorrow to work hard, and people who have achieved good results should not be proud or complacent, because those who fail may surpass you in the future efforts. Therefore, I hope that you will not focus on temporary gains and losses, but see the future path. The philosophy of our East Academy has never been to cultivate the strong strength of the students, but to cultivate the strong heart of each student, and a person with a strong heart will never be weak in the end, no matter how talented he is," Adolf impassioned in the audience.
The students below were all very excited when they heard Adolf's wonderful speech, and they saw the true meaning of power, but Ashur listened to it drowsily, because Ashur thought that what Adolf said was just nonsense, and many people understood the truth, but few people could really do it. Because the heart is a kind of power that is a hundred times more difficult to cultivate than pure magic, but Adolf has a sentence that Asher agrees with, that is, "A person with a strong heart, no matter what his talent, will never be weak in the end." ”
After Adolf finished speaking what Asher thought was nonsense, the process of group matches was finally about to begin.
Luckily, Asher, Chloe, and Vermeo were all placed in different groups, while Luna and Elle did not qualify. Their abilities are not suitable for individual competition. So they all ran to cheer on Chloe and Vermeo.
Because there are only four test tables, so everyone is not going to play right away, Ashur also looked at the other people participating in the competition by the way, and happened to see Carter in the same group as himself, Carter also saw Asher, and showed a sinister smile to Asher, Ashur looked at Carter, who always hated him, couldn't help but be a little speechless, his eyes swept over the others, and found that most of the students showed hatred towards themselves, and they were faintly excited when they saw themselves.
"It seems that there are quite a few suitors of Chloe, and they all regard me as a soft persimmon. Ashur muttered as he looked at the students around him.
Seeing that his game hadn't started yet, Ya Xiu couldn't help but be a little bored, and looked at the arena around him and found that although the level of these students was not high, everyone's magic power was very stable, and the development and use of their abilities were far stronger than those of the same level outside.
After a while, Ashur finally ushered in his first match, the opponent was a senior man with two daggers, Ashur didn't know him, so he didn't know his ability and strength, but everyone around him seemed to know him, and they all showed sympathetic glances at Ashur.
Because Ashur's opponent happens to be a strong player, his name is Rick who also entered the top 16 in the qualifying tournament last year, and it seems that his ability is still almost invincible in the same level.
Rick's ability is a chameleon lizard of the Warcraft variant system.
The chameleon lizard is a fifth-order magical beast, and its main ability is to change into the same color as its surroundings, hide itself, and prey on some low-level magical beasts. If it is applied to the Demon Beast, it is fine, as long as the Demon Beast of the same level as the Chameleon Lizard can almost be perceived by the Chameleon Lizard when it is approached, so the Chameleon Lizard is not very strong in the fifth-order Warcraft, but if it is applied to a person, the effect is completely different, because the human sense of smell and perception of danger before reaching the eighth order is far inferior to that of the Warcraft, so this ability becomes extremely tricky when the opponent is a human. And Rick happens to be a fifth-tier ability, although he is not very outstanding among the students, but because of this ability, he has few opponents among the students.
