DNF Gunner Aspect 1

Chapter 172 Ani's Persistence
Under the introduction of the host, there were 35 teams standing in the audience, with a total of 210 contestants.Everyone stands with their heads held high. They all represent their own country, and a good image must be maintained.

After seeing all the staff arrived, the host began to announce again.

"I would like to invite the host of this year's Academy Ranking Tournament, the Dean of Kazan Academy of Magic, Oster Levich, to announce the rules of the competition! Welcome!" the host said loudly, and after speaking, he began to take pictures hand.

Driven by the host, the audience burst into warm applause.In fact, as the dean of Kazan Academy of Magic, his prestige is still very high, regardless of his strength or status.Oster Levich is a ninth-level wind system magician, just as a holy-level powerhouse, he deserves the respect of the audience present.The strong have no shortage of supporters.

Then a middle-aged man with blue short hair descended from the air, about 50 to [-] years old, with a smile on his face, he was the dean of Kazan Academy of Magic - Oster Levich!
Oster Levich smiled and waved to the surrounding audience.The applause continued, and then Oster pressed his hand down, motioning for silence.

"I am very honored that this Southern Regional College Ranking Tournament will be held in our college! Those who can stand on the field are talented students from each college. This is an exchange of magic and martial arts. I hope everyone can show their true level in the competition , to show the demeanor of the academy to which he belongs!" Oster said.

As soon as Oster finished speaking, the students below all roared.

"Oh~~~!" Everyone was very excited, they came here to win glory for their academy.However, there are still students who are unknown, and Yang Fan and his team are one of them. For these shouts, Yang Fan feels very stupid, shouting is useless, boring!

After finishing speaking, Oster was looking at the 35 teams in front of him. When he saw the shouting people, Oster shook his head slightly. From the performance of these people, we can see the difference in quality.When he saw that half of the teams did not respond, Oster smiled.

"It seems that this session will be even more exciting!" Oster muttered in his heart.

Then he said: "There were originally 36 participating teams this time, but due to an accident with the No. 31 team, they were unable to participate in time, so it was treated as a waiver. Due to the unevenness of the teams, the first rule of the competition is, One of your teams will be the lucky one and get the first bye!" Hearing Oster's words, every team was taken aback, and the teams with poor strength have been praying, hoping that this spot will appear in their own team In this case, even if you lose later, it will be very good to go back to the academy!As long as it doesn't come to the bottom, it will do!
Whether his team is lucky or not, those with real strength don't bother to get this spot.It's not necessary, it's more straightforward than fighting one after another.

After Oster finished speaking, the host carried a box in front of Oster. Seeing this, Yang Fan couldn't help smiling. Isn't this just like the lottery held by the merchants in the previous life?

Oster reached into the box, fumbled for a while, and took out a crystal ball the size of a ping-pong ball after a while.All the teams stared at Oster, wondering which team it was, the lucky one.

"Congratulations to NO.13 team for having a bye and getting the favor of Goddess of Luck!" the host said loudly.Then the other teams looked at Yang Fan and the others. Yang Fan and the others didn't have any joy, their faces were very flat.The eyes of those who looked at Yang Fan and the others were filled with jealousy, envy, and disdain.

Yang Fan was unaware of this.Ace and the others in the audience are happy!It is the best to get a bye, and if you can show your strength later, you will have a better chance of winning the next game, although Ace knows that even if you don't have a bye, Yang Fan and the others can win the first place.

"Cut! It's fucking luck, why didn't this couple have such luck!" Some people in some teams began to complain.

As for Yang Fan and they didn't need to fight in the first round, Aini and Lace were very happy.The competition is cruel, half of the teams will be eliminated in the first round, and there is only one chance.If you win, you continue to fight, if you lose, you leave the arena and become a spectator.

Just when Aini was looking at Yang Fan in a daze, a black-clothed boy appeared beside Aini, who was the shadowy boy next to Ginyu back then.

The shadowy boy showed a sinister smile, stretched out his hand and flicked Aini's arm.

Sensing someone calling him beside him, Aini turned his head, and when he saw the person in front of him, Aini's face suddenly turned pale.

Seeing Aini's appearance, the shadowy boy put his finger in front of his mouth, made a 'hush' sound, signaling Aini not to speak, and then handed a note to Aini's hand.

Then he left with a smile.Watching the back of the shadowy boy disappear, Aini squeezed the note in his hand tightly, not in a hurry to open it to read the contents.Instead, he looked in the direction where Yang Fan was on the field.

"This day has finally come! Unexpectedly, after two years, I was discovered by them again, Brother Fan! Aini may not be able to be with you in the future!" Aini's eyes were full of determination, and a trace of unwillingness welled up in his heart , bit his lip.

People around are looking at the teams in the arena, they're all looking for teams to support so they can go back and bet.Ace and the others were all focused on the field, so they didn't notice anything unusual about Aini.

The competition only started in the afternoon, and now it is just an appearance show, so that most of the audience can understand the basic situation of the contestants and consider which team to support.

Next, Oster announced other rules.

In other words, in the first round, each team only needs to play against each other once, and the loser can only be directly defeated.There are two ways to fight. First, use five people as a team to fight in groups until all opponents lose their combat power or admit defeat, and you will win; second, fight one-on-one. Five people are sent out for a one-on-one fight, a five-match three-win system. The No.6 substitute player can participate in the battle when other players are in trouble or lose their combat power.The general rule is that no one can be killed, otherwise the qualification for the competition will be directly disqualified.

After talking about the rules, Oster looked at the participating students in front of him.

"Okay! I think these rules have been told to you by your instructor before you come here. If I am talking, you will think that I am a long-winded old man! Haha! Come here now, the game officially begins in the afternoon ! At that time, the numbers of the two sides will be drawn on the spot, so that you will not say that we are unfair! Haha!" Oster laughed.

Everyone has no objection to Oster's words.

"Okay! Let's go! I'm looking forward to the wonderful game you guys will bring this afternoon!" After speaking, Oster flew away from the field.

Quite a few students were envious of the flying ability of the saint-level powerhouse, but many of them remained calm.Most of them are geniuses, and they believe that as long as they work hard to cultivate, with their aptitude, it will be a matter of time before they become saints.

"Okay! Everyone, this is the end of today's opening ceremony! We will still be here this afternoon, and we look forward to your performance then!" The host said with a smile on his face.

Then, teams of participating students left the arena, and the audience in the auditorium also began to leave.Through simple observation, they roughly understand it.

When leaving the field, the mysterious masked girl walked past Scar, and gave Scar a meaningful look. When the girl saw him, Scar's heart couldn't help but pounding, and he didn't know if it was excitement or what?Scar has a lot to say now, and wants to tell the girl, but it's not the time yet, the blood-reverse clan is still a secret, and he doesn't know the details of the mysterious girl yet.

Among the contestants who left, Yang Fan saw a familiar figure, a girl with blond hair and long bangs, it was Ophelia; Perlo, the mysterious girl with an alluring appearance.But she is a contestant of the Bonne Academy of Magic in the Principality of Myroke, and she seems to be the captain.She also saw Yang Fan, just smiled slightly, and left.

Yang Fan finally understood the meaning of what Ophelia said when she left, and we will meet again. Indeed, the two met, but only as competitors.

Aini, after the opening ceremony, left abruptly without telling Ace and others beside him.She has her own affairs to deal with, that familiar face, the boy who hunted her down two years ago.

Now, Aini is no longer a girl who can only escape. She has to learn to face it. Although all this is cruel to her, it is a last resort.She needs to grow up, otherwise she can only bring danger to Yang Fan.

After walking out of the arena, Aini opened the note given by the shadowy boy.

"Want to keep your secret? If you want, come to the woods on the outskirts of Xicheng!" A few short lines of small words made Aini's heart churn.My identity has been exposed, so those people should know it too!

After thinking about it, Aini showed a sweet smile.Then he tore up the note and walked towards the west of the city.What should come will come sooner or later, it is better to face it calmly.

At this time, outside the arena.

"Have you seen Aini?" Yang Fan asked Lace and the others suspiciously.

"No! Wasn't he always there just now? Could it be that he went back first!?" Lace guessed.Hearing Lace's words, Yang Fan also thought it was possible. Aini might be tired, so he went back first, but Yang Fan always felt that something was wrong. Last night, Aini's performance was really abnormal.

"Okay, let's go back to the dormitory too! Take a good rest and have a good afternoon to see the strength of other teams, which will be good for our next game!" Yang Fan said, and then walked towards the dormitory alone.Yang Fan has a bad premonition recently. After coming to the Tranos Empire, the events that happened are too weird.Provocation, fight, competition~~~~~~ Yang Fan has a headache!But there is no clue.

On the outskirts of Xicheng, in the woods.

Aini has arrived at the appointed place, 50 meters in front of her, standing with her back to her is a black figure.

"Your Highness, you are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time!" The black figure turned around and said, it was the shadowy boy who gave Aini the note.The purple color on the shadowy boy's face has disappeared, replaced by a patch of sunshine.

"What's your purpose?" Aini asked calmly, her tone very light.

"There is no purpose! I just want to catch up, Your Highness, we haven't seen each other for two years! I didn't expect that Her Highness, who is wearing men's clothes, is even more extraordinary! Hehe!" The young man smiled.

Hearing the boy's words, Aini could not help but frown, his face full of bitterness.Is there another story here?
