Chapter Twenty-Four: The Beginning of Dabi
Martial arts academies in Paris generally recruit students in the spring, and select those who meet the requirements of the academy from among the many applicants who meet the requirements of the academy as disciples or students. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Each academy teaches different martial arts, as well as different requirements for aptitude and talent. If you want to receive more qualified disciples, you need to show the characteristics of the academy's martial arts, so that the applicants can make targeted choices, and it is even more necessary to show the strength of the academy's martial arts, so that there are more applicants, so that the academy can choose more leeway.
After years of discussion and run-in among various colleges, the grand ceremony of the Paris Martial Arts Academy Ranking Contest came into being.
Such a big competition is the best stage to show the characteristics of the martial arts of each academy, and it is not the instructors of the academy who take the stage to compete, but the outstanding disciples sent by the academy.
Because the teaching cycle of each college is different, and the study time of disciples of different levels is also different, it was decided that only disciples under the age of 18 are allowed to participate.
Each academy sent 4 proud disciples, and everyone conducted a brutal round-robin elimination competition, and finally decided the ranking, deciding how many disciples the academy could recruit in the following year.
This year's ranking competition, as usual, was still held under the big tower of the Tower Academy.
The Iron Tower Academy, like his name, cultivates all tower-like men in it.
It was the first time of the Paris Stonemasons' Association, and then changed its name to the Paris Association of Architects, and later the association produced a genius who integrated the architectural method into the martial arts, and created a number of forging martial arts, such as "Masonry Muscle Forging Method", "Steel and Iron Bone Forging Technique" and so on, attracting a large number of teenagers who advocate muscles to join, and slowly developed and expanded, making the Paris Association of Architects the first top school of forging in Paris.
Later, in honor of this sage, the association cast a tower of Babel named after him, and renamed the Paris Association of Architects the Eiffel Tower Academy.
As the sun rises, a stream of people from all over the city of Paris converges on the Institut de Eiffel Tower to watch this year's college rankings.
Walking into this masculine academy and passing by strangely shaped buildings, one arrives at the huge square under the Eiffel Tower.
Around the huge iron tower, four square tall jousting platforms are stationed, one in each of the four directions of south, east and west.
The college ranking competition will be held on these four competition platforms.
Miss Sophie left the building early to prepare for today's big competition.
And Zhang Ang couldn't help but be curious, took out the "Variety Mask", pinched an ordinary, featureless face in the mirror, changed into a samurai uniform, and went to the Tower Academy next door.
Walking into the Tower Academy, except for the audience who came to watch the ceremony, all you saw were men with knotted muscles, showing off their muscles bare-chested in the cold wind of early spring, looking very stupid.
But there are still teenagers who are attracted to talk, and even boldly reach out to touch the angular muscles.
Following the flow of people, Zhang Ang walked to the huge square under the iron tower.
The square was already crowded, and it was full of people, young boys and girls, young boys and girls, and even more, parents and elders who accompanied them.
Now standing next to Zhang Ang is a father and son, arguing about which college to sign up for.
"Actually, Dad still wants you to go to Les Invalides, and your Uncle Hansen happens to be in it, so he can take care of you when the time comes. The father persuaded.
"But last year, it wasn't for the Tower Academy to win the first place, so I think it's good to train muscles. The son disagreed.
"The strength of the two academies is actually about the same, either the first in the Tower Academy, or the first in the Invalides, it's just to see that the student performs better this year, aren't you quite a knight in the future, then you still have to go to the Invalides." The father continued to persuade.
"Well, that's good, whoever wins the first place this year, I'll go to the one to sign up. After thinking about it, the son decided.
"You are wrong, the first of this year, neither the Invalides nor the Tower Academy, has been decided. Father laughed.
"Ah, why, which one? The son was puzzled.
"The Philharmonic has a genius this year, only 16 years old, and he broke through the grandmaster realm, so there is no suspense about the first. Father explained.
"Ah, it's the Philharmonie. Their family's martial arts are really powerful, but it's a pity that I can't go. "My son was dejected.
"After all, talent requirements are different. But you can also choose the second place, several seedlings of the Invalides Academy this time are very good, I think it's okay to take a second place, and then you can have a good look, what is the real battle array martial arts. My father was still reluctant to give up persuasion.
......
Suddenly, there was a commotion from the crowd in front, and it turned out that the various academies had entered.
Zhang Ang finally squeezed to the front, only to see that all the academy teams were under the Eiffel Tower, and the students were wearing the uniform samurai uniforms of the academy and standing in a row under the leadership of the instructor.
Among them, the most obvious are, of course, the 4 strong men of the Tower Academy, who **** their upper bodies, revealing a bronze square muscle, and they are at the forefront under the leadership of a taller and stronger mentor.
Behind them were four neatly armoured, erect young knights, some armed with swords, some with guns, and with different weapons, but their mentor was a middle-aged man with no legs in a wheelchair.
Behind them, there were four men and women in splendid dresses, two men, one with a violin and one with a cello, two women, one with a large drum and one empty-handed, and their instructor was a middle-aged man who looked suave.
Behind them are the 4 beautiful girls of the Rose Sword Academy, one of them has big braids, one has short hair, one has long hair to the waist, and one has black hair and a shawl, all of them are first-class beauties, and their figures are also the most outstanding of all the contestants, and their instructor is the blonde Master Sophia.
Later, there are also teams from other colleges with their own characteristics, but Zhang Ang doesn't know about it, so he can't recognize it.
After waiting for a few minutes, an old man in a formal dress stood in front of them, it was Prince Condé, the representative of the royal family, who presided over Dabi.
A small box was placed at the front of the line, and the students who participated in the big competition stepped forward in turn and took out a numbered plate from the box.
The numbers above will determine their next opponents.
According to the introduction of the audience next to them, the four students of each college will be divided into different competition venues for competition, and only the first place in each venue can advance to the semi-finals.
