Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 259 Three Battles
As the host's voice fell, the contestants from each academy directly connected to the light balls with their names engraved on them, and they could be teleported to the ring in an instant with just a thought.

After the light flashed, everyone in Gastro Academy began to face their opponents.

The opponents of Strand and Simon were not weak, but they were stronger, and it didn't take long for them to win easily.

Doug, Curry and sister Sophia were lucky. The opponents they encountered were not weak, but they still won the victory after a hard fight.

Franco, a parkour boy, and his younger sister, Filia, had a different luck.

One of the top ten seats that Fei Liya faced was knocked out of the ring almost immediately. After returning to the rest area, the little girl was so wronged that she was about to cry, as if she was about to cry.

Although Franco's opponent was not the tenth seat of the previous year, he was also a powerful veteran senior. He was almost helpless after being beaten, and could only mess around in the ring. No, he can really run, making his opponent frown.

In the end, it was because one of the rules of the game was that the arena would start to shrink after a certain amount of time, so that Franco gradually had no room to escape.

Franco and Filia didn't even advance to the first round, which not only showed that they were unlucky, but also showed the cruelty of the competition.

When 39 of the [-] arenas were engaged in fierce battles, there was a puzzling phenomenon in one of the arenas. A young man stood blankly in the center of a arena, but his opponent had been missing for a long time.

Gradually, more and more people noticed the situation over there, and started talking about it.

Seeing this, the host could no longer remain silent, and immediately began to ease the atmosphere.

"Oh, let's see, there is a player who didn't show up, did he oversleep? If this goes on like this, he will be sentenced to failure!"

"Oh? Then shouldn't we congratulate the lucky boy in the ring in advance for winning a victory without any effort!"

"It seems to be. According to the regulations, if you don't enter the field for 5 minutes, you will automatically admit defeat. Now it's almost time."

"Let's see who this lucky teenager is... Franz Kiss from the Batalha Academy!"

"Then his oversleeping opponent is...Lando from Gastro Academy! Haha!"

"Huh, Lando? This name is a bit familiar, I seem to have heard it there before."

"Lando?! Hiss!~ It won't be the new school Yinta Lando who has gained fame recently, right?"

"Wow, it's really him, I admire him so much, I must ask him to sign my autograph after the game!"

"Yeah, a genius always has his own personality. It seems that Lando doesn't like the previous competition, and he plans to play at the end."

"Hey, didn't you just say that he overslept?"

"Ahaha, where is it!"

"..."

At this time, the audience also talked a lot.

"Intalando? Who is that?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the younger generation of a strong man."

"You don't even know Yin Talando of the new school?"

"That's right, Intalando, that's a legendary figure, it's said that he has defeated many seat holders."

"Hey, the news is out of date. This Yin Tarando is not simple. He has a record of defeating multiple seats. He is a big dark horse in this exchange of colleges."

"Oh? Then how does he compare with the legendary Chenglong?"

"This...it's hard to say, it shouldn't be comparable."

"Who said that, you have to compare it to know!"

"Makes sense, makes sense!"

"Hey, it must be a fight between dragons and tigers anyway!"

"Wait and see!"

"..."

Gastro College lounge.

Doug said: "Lando went directly to the loser's bracket before the game, but there are so many people talking about him, I thought he was just famous in our academy!"

Simon said with a smile: "Then you underestimated Lando, his record is more shocking than you imagined."

As a veteran senior, Simon knew much more information than these juniors.

At this time, the younger sister Fei Liya also recovered from her sadness, and asked curiously: "Brother Simon, I have heard the legend of Brother Lando before, but I don't know which ones are true and which ones are false. Give us Tell me?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "The most exaggerated ones are all true!"

Sister Felia opened her mouth blankly: "Huh?!"

Simon smiled and said, "Okay, you should be able to see Lando make a move tomorrow, and then you should understand the difference between being arcanists, true geniuses and mere mortals."

The gap between true geniuses and us mortals? !

These words made the five freshmen inexplicably shocked. To be able to become an Arcanist is a one-of-a-kind aptitude, and being able to join the Castro Academy, which ranks among the top ten academies of the School of Conjuration, gives them an innate sense of superiority, and even more so. Don't say that now they stand out from the freshmen and compete for ten seats in the school.

Seeing that the five people were in a state of confusion, Simon seemed to feel that what he said was a bit too much, so he said apologetically: "Don't worry, each of us can get to where we are today, which represents our talent and hard work. If talent can If everything is decided, then there will not be so many strong people in the Arcane Council who start from the mage and step by step to the level of the great arcanist."

The dean of teaching, Steele, also came over at this time. He didn't stop Simon when he said the words to attack them. At this moment, he said, "That's right, think about how you got to where you are today. During this process How much effort you have put in during this time, don’t always think about what others are like. While you are envious of others, have you ever thought that you are also the object of envy of others? What you have to do now is to try your best to climb this mountain, not Stay away from the foot of the mountain, understand?!"

The five people's depressed mood shook, and this bowl of 'chicken soup' poured them down, which immediately made them full of confidence in the future!
The corner of Semen's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself that he was indeed the head teacher.

"Then, Teacher Steele, I will take my leave first." Simon saluted the teaching director Steele, then turned and left.

Doug asked suspiciously: "What did Senior Simon do?"

Strand said: "Naturally, I'm going to prepare for the ten seats."

"Preparing for ten seats? How do you prepare for this?" Everyone was surprised.

"After three rounds of fighting, it's the defending battle. You should also know the rules. If you win ten games in a row or if no one challenges you for an hour, you can lock a spot."

"It goes without saying that there is no one to challenge for an hour. Those with strengths like Xiang Lando and Cheng Long who can crush their peers don't even need to think about it, but the others below them are different. These people's strength is even higher than their peers, but as long as they are not completely There is still room for maneuver.”

"For example, in the wheel battle, you must know that cheating will inevitably happen. Challenges between the same colleges are prohibited, and although the champions of the defending battle have a rest time, the interval is only 5 minutes at most. For those who want to fight, the order of battle is very important."

"After excluding the two or three who crush the strength, the remaining seven or eight people theoretically have 140 or [-] chances to be challenged. Of course, considering the occurrence of defeat, there is a high probability that the chance to be challenged will come. More than a hundred times, and the seventy losers have a total of [-] challenge opportunities, in which strength, calculation, intelligence, and luck are all indispensable."

"Tian Ji's horse racing, game theory, alliances, etc., how to fight with the right person at the right time, whether there are still challenges for those opponents that you have determined to be invincible, and whether you need to form a team when facing stronger opponents. When a small team goes to a round-the-clock battle, how to determine their own position in the small team to ensure that they can win as much as possible, these are all issues they have to consider, after all, everyone is not stupid to come here."

"The opponent's intelligence collection is also very important. You are here for the first time. If you really want to win one of the ten seats next time, then you need to think about these things."

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that there were so many ways in it.

Younger sister Felia blinked her eyes and asked, "Brother Strand, why don't you go?"

Strand smiled confidently: "The last time I was able to get the top ten seat, half of it was strength, and half combined with cleverness and luck; this time is different, I want to try to get the top ten seat entirely by strength!"

"Wow! It's amazing!" My younger sister Fei Liya showed a look of admiration.

Others were also overwhelmed by Strand's words.

That's right, if you don't have absolute strength, then you really need to activate your brain and calculate layer by layer, but what if you have absolute strength?

Only then did the five people understand that the reason why Lando didn't come out of the training room was probably due to his absolute self-confidence. It would be good if he had the confidence to get the fruit of victory in the end. The previous processes were not worth interrupting his current research!

"Okay, the next forty-in-twenty match will be in the afternoon, and the third match will be in the evening. The defending battle will be held until tomorrow. During this time, everyone can arrange freely, just don't be late." Dean Shi Ti Er said to several people.

"Yes!" Everyone responded.

The arena was not idle when everyone was doing various activities. At this time, the hosts had changed from two hosts, one male and one female, to four, three males and one female.

The two new hosts were more professional in explaining the battles, starting to replay the eighty to forty battles before the replay.

For those battles with obvious disparity in strength, the commentary is to brag about the winner and skip it directly. For those battles that are evenly matched, it is worth writing a lot. Forty... 39 battles, even if you just pick one of them is more exciting He gave an explanation, and it was already past noon when he almost finished speaking.

The afternoon battle was held as usual. Doug, Curry and sister Sophia also had no luck in the morning. They encountered strong opponents and were eliminated.

Stellan was still lucky. The opponent he encountered was much weaker than him, and he won easily.

Well, perhaps strength is the best luck!

It seemed that Simon was in a hard fight, and the two sides fought fiercely for nearly an hour before they could win.

Seeing the opponent who voluntarily surrendered, Simon narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling unhappy in his heart.

After the game, Simon left in a hurry, not knowing what to do, while Stellan closed his eyes in the rest area to rest his mind, and the five rookies who had been completely eliminated turned into cheerleaders, waiting for the seat competition to end The next group battle and trial is over.

"Hey, did you notice that senior Simon obviously won the competition, but his face is not good-looking." Doug asked.

"That's right, when he left just now, he looked very preoccupied." Franco said.

"Could it be some kind of trouble?" Sister Fei Liya guessed.

"Hey, even if there is any trouble, we can't help you." Doug said in a low voice.

"Why don't we help collect information, maybe it can be useful." Sister Fei Liya suggested.

"Hey, that's not bad, it's better than just sitting around," Doug said.

"Agreed!" Franco also agreed.

"..."

Soon the five (three?) reached an agreement and acted separately.

Looking at the 'active' juniors, Stellan smiled slightly, and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

The third battle of the night was held as scheduled. In the twenty-to-ten battle, there were almost no miscellaneous fish characters, and everyone's opponent was relatively strong.

Before the start of the competition, Simon looked at the information handed over by the juniors and the little eyes of Xie Yi who begged for praise, and smiled dumbly, feeling a little moved in his heart.

Although these materials were of little use to him, he still accepted them with a smile, and said with a helpful expression: "Very good, this is exactly what I need!"

This time the lottery was unlucky for Semen, and he had only one of the five previous seaters drawn by him. After barely fighting against it for a while, he resolutely conceded defeat, without revealing his hole cards too much.

Strand, as always, won the battle in the end, although his opponent was also very strong.

Since then, the first day of the elimination battle has come to a successful conclusion. All the five previous seats have won, and there are also five newcomers who have shown their heads and feet.

At night, everyone did not return to the magic tower to rest, but entered a hotel near the secret arena.

In the magic tower, outside the door of Lando's training room, a group of black shadows suddenly emerged from the shadows. It was the black spirit of the teaching director Steele. Wake up more.

Seeing a cloud of dim light separate from Hei Ling's body, it turned into the appearance of the teaching director Steele, looking at the still closed door of the training room and asking, "Have you not come out yet?"

Hei Ling nodded.

"Forget it. As usual, tomorrow's ring battle will last a whole day. If Lando doesn't wake up in the end, I have to force him to wake him up. I always hear Odo say that his disciple is sensible and obedient, and he does things well." I think the current situation is within the expectations of Kid Lando."

"If he comes out by himself tomorrow, you can directly teleport him to me through contract contact." The teaching director Steele finally said to Hei Ling.

Hei Ling still nodded.

The phantom of the teaching director Steele dissipated, and some gloomy light re-merged into the body of Hei Ling, and the latter also escaped into the shadows again.
