Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 258 Opening Ceremony
After entering the advanced world of Sandra, Lando became silent. He could really feel that this world was different from all the worlds he had been to before.

"Is this the constraint of stricter rules?" Lando said to himself.

Strand said with a smile: "You can feel it. In this world, we can't show the powerful destructive power like in other low and middle worlds, but strict rules are actually more conducive to our research."

Lando nodded silently. Indeed, as Strand said, the higher world seems to be closer to some kind of...'reality'!
The director of teaching, Steele, pointed to the group of magic towers in front of him and said: "This is the stronghold of our Gastro Academy in Sandra, let's go, let's arrange a resting place for you first, and after you settle down, you can freely control it." For the rest of the time, there are still quite a lot of interesting things in Puerth City, while you are young, you should be more active, and don't always study like old men!"

Regarding the words of the teaching director Stiyl, except for his younger sister Filia who showed approval, everyone else was indifferent.

It wasn't that they couldn't feel the good intentions of the teaching director, Steele, but as arcanists, everyone didn't think going out to play was more interesting than watching the data in the laboratory.

The magic tower complex consists of a main tower and four auxiliary towers. Lando and his party live in one of the auxiliary towers this time. Apart from the training room, it is actually the place where foreign visitors live. When the academy communicates, it is also the place where Gastro The place of residence of the students of the college.

After settling down, everyone didn't get together. They had one more important thing to do.

Lando came to the training ground in the Magic Tower and randomly selected an unmanned training room to enter. He needed to test his ability in this aspect to determine his current state.

Half an hour later, Lando showed a look of satisfaction.

After testing, whether it is [Heart (Orange)] or [Sin Domain (Orange)], the dimensional power attached to these two talents has not changed, and the destructive power that arcane can cause in other aspects has been weakened to varying degrees. Space arcane is the worst. Whether it is the "Zeno's Labyrinth" and "Zhuangzi's Dream" that were researched before, or some brand new space skills that have been researched recently, they have all weakened a lot.

You must know that the two space arcanes 'Zeno's Labyrinth' and 'Zhuangzi's Dream' have been continuously improved by Lando, and with the addition of stealing from Xiao Kong, the spirit of the labyrinth, their power is no longer the same.

However, this also made Lando notice that he has discovered many shortcomings in the arcane arts. If they can be corrected, it is believed that not only the power of these arcane arts can be improved a lot, but they will also become more difficult to crack.

To put it simply, many of the arcane arts that Lando has researched may be very powerful, but that is because one or several aspects of them are strong, so their weaknesses are covered up. Now in the world of strict rules, these The shortcoming is like the principle of wooden barrels, which greatly reduces the power of the arcane. If you can use this opportunity to make up for them, you can be regarded as a qualified hexagonal arcane.

Lando, who was originally not interested in the suggestion of going to Puerth City that the teaching director Steele said, completely forgot about it now.

having fun? !
Where is the fun? Studying arcane art is interesting!
In the following time, Lando plunged into the study of arcane arts and could not extricate himself. The two sisters, Felia and Sophia, wanted to invite him to visit Puerth City together, but they went to the former's room to look for him many times but did not see anyone. , This made my younger sister Felia stomp her feet angrily.

Strand also came to Lando, but he was not for fun, but wanted to go to the secret arena with Lando.

Except for being requisitioned during the exchange period of the academy, the secret arena is open to the public at other times, and can accommodate all races and professions to flex their muscles in it.

I went to have a look in advance so that Lando could understand the situation, but no one was found.

Time passed, and it was the day of the college exchange in a blink of an eye.

Outside the training room, the seven Strands were helplessly looking at the closed training room. Lando hadn't come out of the training room since the day he arrived. Now that the opening ceremony of the academy exchange was about to be held today, he still inside.

More importantly, the training room has also activated the do not disturb mode, and it is impossible to contact the inside.

At this time, the dean of teaching, Steele, came over, and seeing the expressions of everyone, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you, you are frowning, huh? Where's Lando?"

Strand pointed helplessly at the training room and said, "Lando is inside. He has been in the training room since he came here and never came out."

The teaching director Steele raised his brows when he heard the words, and lightly touched the door of the training room, and suddenly felt a faint illusory power coming out. This is not the protection of the training room itself, but the people inside. , that is, Lando's strength.

The dean of teaching, Steele, pondered for a while. He actually had the authority to open the door of the closed training room, but he didn't do so. Instead, he asked, "Does Lando know the communication process of the academy?"

Strand nodded and said, "He knows, I told him in detail."

The dean of teaching, Steele, said: "In this case, let's go first, don't disturb him, I believe he will have a sense of proportion."

Fei Liya exclaimed: "Ah? Don't we ask Brother Lando to join us? What if he gets so absorbed in research that he forgets about the exchange between the colleges?"

The teaching director Steele shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, if he hasn't woken up at the last moment, I will forcefully open the door to wake him up. After all, the academy exchange rewards are too rich, it's best not to miss them."

Everyone else had strange looks on their faces, but they had no choice but to do so.

Under the leadership of the teaching director Steele, seven people and two teachers set off for the secret arena.

At this time, the central area of ​​Purse City, as the opening day of the high-profile college exchange, has been covered with various promotional slogans (advertisements?), and the whole city is shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

For Puerth City, college exchange is like a holiday.

When everyone from Gastro Academy came to the secret arena, they saw a huge round sphere floating above this building that looked like an arena. The sphere was so large that it could cover the entire sky of the secret arena.

Various images flashed on the sphere from time to time, all of which were wonderful battles in the secret arena over the years. In the center, there were two commentators, a man and a woman, enthusiastically telling the glorious history of the arena.

Doug said blankly: "This, didn't you have it before?"

Simon explained: "This is a void image. Although it looks simple, it contains extremely advanced arcane knowledge. When everyone looks at it, it is an image sphere composed of countless pictures, but when you pay attention When you put your power on a certain picture, this picture will naturally be completely reflected in your mind, while other pictures will be faded, it is said that this is an extremely clever application of the power of existence.”

"This kind of void image should consume a lot of resources. It will only be turned on during college exchanges or some special large-scale events, and it is usually invisible."

Doug: "I see, that's amazing!"

Crowd: ...

The teaching director Steele said, "Let's go, let's enter the arena now!"

Ten people came to a platform outside the secret realm arena, and the teaching director Stil showed an arcane mark, and the platform lit up immediately, and everyone was teleported to the inside of the arena.

When they came back to their senses, they found that they had come to a majestic high mountain. The top of the mountain was flattened, leaving a huge open space. Obviously the auditorium.

Dozens of relatively huge floating islands are mixed among these small floating platforms, so that should be... VIP seats?

Younger sister Felia blinked her eyes and asked, "Is there an audience? I thought we were the only ones communicating in the academy!"

The teaching director Steele raised his brows and said: "Of course there are spectators, every exchange between the colleges can create a lot of extra income for our conjuration school, but the spectators will have to wait until after our opening ceremony, when we officially compete. "

Everyone was stunned.

"Okay, that's the territory of our Gastro Academy, let's go there." The dean of teaching, Steele, pointed to a certain place.

Everyone came to the designated place and sat down, and soon all the people from the top ten colleges were present.

The five Xinnen who participated in the academy exchange for the first time were still a little excited, but if they noticed the expressions of Strand and Simon, they might not have any expectations for the opening ceremony.

On the platform in the center, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes slowly emerged and began to give a speech.

The dean of teaching, Steele, narrowed his voice to a small area that could only be heard by everyone in Gastro College: "That is the vice president of Garmendia College, Capac Keating, Garmendia College is currently If you are tired, go to sleep."

Seeing that the dean of teaching, Steele, ignored it after he finished speaking, and went to rest with his eyes closed, the five newbies looked at each other in blank dismay.

Soon, they knew the meaning of the teaching director Stile's words.

The process of the opening ceremony was very simple, it only needed to introduce the top ten colleges and say some words of encouragement, but the five people felt something was wrong after listening to them.

When introducing the second to tenth colleges, Mr. Capac, the vice president of Garmendia College, spent less than 10 minutes. I talked non-stop for a full hour, five and 10 minutes, from humanities to environment, from education to greening, it can be said that I have praised everything that can be said, without repetition.

It is conceivable that if it is not stipulated that the opening speech can last up to two hours, he will definitely be able to talk longer.

Well, maybe that's where the two-hour rule for opening speeches comes from.

The leading teachers of the various colleges below seem to be accustomed to it, and they have closed their eyes and wandered away. Many students who are not here for the first time are also in a daze, thinking about their own problems, but there are still many first-timers. The freshmen who participated once were in a trance, not knowing why.

College exchanges are broadcast live in many worlds, and this should be one of the invisible benefits enjoyed by the First College!
Looking at the empty auditorium, everyone finally understood why the audience was allowed in after the opening ceremony.

With the end of the opening ceremony of the last college exchange, the battle for school seats officially began, and everyone was shocked. Looking at Mr. Kapac who left the stage with an unfinished look on his face, the five of them couldn't help but fight coldly.

Only the dean of teaching, Steele, sighed in a somewhat envious tone: "If you can get Gastro College to win the first place this time, I will have the opportunity to give the opening speech on the stage next time in the college exchange. Alas, since Since I became the teaching director, I have also led many college exchange teams, and I have never won the first place."

Everyone was shocked, and they secretly made up their minds to work hard to get more points.

The dean of teaching, Steele, glimpsed this scene out of the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, secretly satisfied in his heart.

With the wave of the host of the secret arena, the entire space on the top of the mountain changed dramatically. There are ten more platforms around the periphery, which are the rest areas of the top ten colleges. Mental and so on.

Forty battle platforms are presented in a patchwork manner on the top of the mountain. This is the first battle for seats, with eighty to forty battle venues. Although the battle platform is not large, as long as the two players enter it, they will find , the interior space has been processed to be ten times larger than the exterior, and can be adjusted as needed.

Two well-dressed hosts, a man and a woman, are doing their best to warm up the venue, and the audience on the void platform has also begun to enter one after another.

Franco, who was good at escaping, looked left and right, and whispered: "Is this the exchange of the academy? Why is it different from what I thought?!"

Strand glanced at him and said, "Calm down, this is the best model that has passed the test of time, what you think is just what you think."

"Next, let's start the first battle for the school seats, the eighty to forty battle!" the male host said passionately.

"According to the usual practice, people from the same academy will not meet each other in this first match, so everyone can fight freely, let's wait and see!" The hostess was not to be outdone.

Eighty balls of light suddenly appeared in the sky. There are ten colors of light balls in total, eight of each kind, with the names of every student participating in the exchange written on them.

These light spheres all flowed into a huge energy box, the box vibrated and shook quickly, and finally exploded suddenly, and the light spheres of various colors were sprayed into the void one by one to face each other, and there were even special effects of sparks and electric lights, forming a group. A battle map.

After a while, these light spheres landed on the battle platform, indicating the platform that each arcanist needs to board.

"Okay, it seems that the list of the first battle has been released, so let's start enjoying the wonderful match without further delay!"

"The next thing you will see will be the highest level of competition of the new generation of arcanists. Please keep your eyes open and don't miss any exciting moments!"

"Then, the battle begins!" X2
