Chapter 353 11. Victory Banquet
The selection of warriors from Solz Magic Academy and Pal Warrior Academy was held at the Paramy Arena in the morning, and in the afternoon it was the turn of Syltovis Magic Academy and Knight's Retinue Academy.
The young mages still did not escape the fate of performing for the audience.
The person in charge of counting the players was a young Potions professor. She was the one who was in a daze when Annan introduced her that day - the professor brought a detailed competition format: eight players were selected from all colleges and four games were held. The college that gets first place advances.
If there are no surprises, after the game with Pal Warrior Academy, it will be the turn with Syltovis Magic Academy.
Alice is one of only two players in the lower class, the other being Annan. There are also two juniors and four seniors. There are no elite spellcasters.
"I am Theophilus." A senior student came over to greet Annan, "Are you the one chosen by the dean?"
"I am Annan ." Annan nodded.
"Are you a warlock? You're so charming." He didn't hide his praise at all, but he didn't seem to know who Annan was. "The professor said that Blehim recommended you, and you are of blood." Warlock?"
"Talent Warlock"
"Looking forward to your performance tomorrow," the senior said.
"You'd better arrive at the Palamy Arena before eight o'clock. The game will start in an open space 50 yards away. You'd better keep a distance from your opponents..."
The professor is here While explaining from the front, Annan and Alice whispered from behind.
Alice returned "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to Annan. "How is it?" Annan asked.
"Unlike "The Fall of the Sorcerer's Tower" and "Betal's Redemption", what did you prepare for Solz Academy of Magic? The Sorting Hat Ceremony and the Nine and Three Quarters Store were interesting, why? Delivering messages with an owl? What’s the scar on your forehead? Who is the mysterious person who killed your parents?”
Alice had no intention of delaying gratification and was determined not to leave the puzzle to the end.
"I can't think of a more suitable messenger. The scar on the forehead is for high-level soul protection. The mysterious man is the Red Devil, and the Red Devil is Agarwal." Annan added: "By the way, nine and three-quarters Don’t talk about the store yet. "
"The Fall of the Mage Tower" made the taverns around the Mage Tower full all day long, and "Betal's Redemption" made the prison a famous sight, but Annan couldn't get anything.—— The jealous Annan changed the platform into a store, so that he could open a nine-and-three-quarters store himself and earn more than just selling magic recording stones.
If enough funds are available, Annan can also recreate Diagon Alley, where magic items are sold, behind the shop. Moreover, the people of the Empire had not seen the first two magic images. After obtaining the fiefdom, Annan then copied the mage tower and prison to New Star Moon Bay.
"But I still like Jack." Alice said.
After the professor finished talking about tomorrow's game, the eight contestants went back, and Annan and Alice were stopped.
The young professor asked: "Mr. Annan, what can we do for you?"
"Prepare a victory dinner." Annan replied.
"You are very confident."
On the way back, Alice said.
"I have no chance of losing unless they don't let me cast spells." Annan is not arrogant, at most he is proud: "Will Mr. Swaro come?"
After Breeze City is gone, Swaro regains his freedom Mr. Luo declined Olmedo's invitation and ran to the south of the empire. Even Alice did not know what he was doing.
"Probably not, unless I make it to the finals."
Alice lived on campus, stood in front of the door and said goodbye to Annan, watching him disappear at the corner of the street. After school, Annan planned to visit the officials of the Ministry of Ceremony from the imperial capital. There were many nobles who had the same plan as him. As expected, he ran into a wall. Reporting to the King of the North was useless - the King of the North, thousands of miles away, was in the empire. It really just sounds awesome.
It's time to tone down the influence of the King in the North and become a true lord.
The quiet night that left many young students unable to sleep was spent in meditation. The next morning, Annan woke up on time, and the pale golden morning light spread into the carpet. There was no lateness or accident.
Picking up the blanket that Martin had kicked off and covering it back up, Annan rented a carriage on the street and headed to the Palamy Arena.
There were not many spectators, they were all college students and parents, and only less than half of the people were seated near the beginning.
The official of the Imperial Ceremony Department gave a speech before the start of the game: "Young people of the Empire, this is the closest you are to glory, seize it! The person standing at the end will become the champion known to all mankind! ”
It's called the Etiquette Department, but there is no etiquette. The speeches only stir up the emotions of the players. No wonder they like to say that the Tatooans are barbarians.
This competition for hegemony is not a trivial matter...
Annan realized this, and the college also underestimated the seriousness of the empire. The vice president whispered to the president: "We let An elite disguised as..."
Dean Blehim rejected this stupid attention and called Annan: "As long as you enter the top ten in the empire, I will personally find a fief for you."
“Don’t worry.”
Annan was the first to appear. His opponent is a reserved boy. Annan didn't want to scare him, so the first spell was the summoning of lower elements - this place was far away from the town of Typhoon Shelter, so there was no need to worry about summoning the ones that shouldn't be summoned.
The boy has good qualifications. He held the iron sword and fought against the earth element for almost ten minutes. As soon as he gave up his strength and gave up, the bumpy earth element on the surface dissipated at the end of time, which made him regretful why he didn't hold on for a while longer.
Annan won the first victory that made the audience drowsy. Even Xana and the others leaned on each other and took a nap. Only the vice-dean was cheering with rippling fat.
Back in the rest area facing the strange gaze, Annan also heard the boy's teacher saying that he was stupid. Why did he have to fight with the earth element for so long? Can't he just attack the spell caster directly?
As soon as An Nan sat down, the vice-president sent over a special magic potion provided by the college.
Does the magic shop sell a bottle for fifteen gold coins or twenty gold coins? What a luxury. Annan drank one bottle and stole another.
Not long after, it was Alice's turn to take the stage. A skilled live rope technique ended the battle, winning some applause that Annan did not have.
A few dozen minutes later, Annan started the second game. In order to continue stealing magic potions, Annan directly released two low-level elemental summons, so that the audience who had become sleepy when they saw Annan's appearance sobered up.
As a second-level spell, releasing the second one means you are only one step away from the elite.
The price is that the opponent only lasted for tens of seconds, and his clothes were burned by a ball of fire thrown by the fire element, and he was forced to admit defeat before being injured.
Annan drank one bottle this time and stole two bottles. But there was no way to steal anymore today, as the last player from Parr Warrior Academy lost - they were completely eliminated in the second round.
Without any surprise, Solz Magic Academy advanced easily, which shows that spellcasters stand at the top of all professions.
The enthusiastic vice-dean came to the lounge area: "The dinner is ready!"
