"Well, will the fourth group start? It's quite early."

Hopkins nodded slightly, and after saying something casually, he let Mu Xuejian continue to be in a daze. Then, he turned his attention to those people not far away who, although not as high in status as the dean himself, were superior in terms of strength.

Several of the 'colleagues' who followed him narrowed their eyes and nodded slightly.

Those senior members of Paladin Academy who usually had their eyes high and were not very convinced by Hopkins, the dean, were all smiling like flowers this time, and casually gave a few words of encouragement to those who were participating in the competition.

The students left together after they had behaved.

Their task today is very simple, that is, they go to three competition venues to watch the game. Of course, although it is said to be 'three competition venues', the three competition stages in the first round of the knockout round are very close to each other, although there are people around them.

It is separated by a barrier that is invisible to the naked eye to prevent the situation like "Player A on the 1st stage hit the player D on the 2nd stage with a small x flying knife", but even the cheapest, remotest and most corner

With standing tickets, people in the audience can easily have an unobstructed view of the large arena that was temporarily divided into three arenas.

Even though the auditorium is like this, the preparation area where the contestants and their delegations are located is more convenient to see.

Hopkins assigned a task to these good colleagues who suddenly became behaving because he 'recruited' Mu Xuejian, which was to keep an eye on the participants of the White Oath Knight Academy and the Knights Guild from the first game on.

Academy City Chapter contestants and those from the Diesel family, find the strongest among them for evaluation. If that person is judged to be capable of fighting Mu Xuejian, even if the possibility of winning is slim,

We must also focus on research and targeting!

To be honest, after seeing Mu Xuejian's strength with their own eyes, the college management, headed by the two vice presidents, didn't think that anyone would have the strength to 'fight against Mu Xuejian', but after all, people are

The dean found him, and his skills were really impeccable. In addition, Hopkins made a bet with those unpleasant guys against all odds, and then found another card that could

The trump card to win this bet is 100%, so at least these days, everyone is still very convinced of this dean who usually does not show off his integrity and only handles administrative and internal affairs.

Just watch it, no matter where you are watching the game, it will not delay Mu Xuejian from winning the game.

With this mentality, the group of people followed Hopkins' instructions and walked to the competition venues that they were more interested in. Of course, the No. 2 competition venue where Mu Xuejian was located had the most people, although there were no

People think that the first round of the knockout round will be interesting, but if you don’t have access to it, it’s good to watch the excitement.

All in all, Gavinrad Diesel's caution does not mean that Hopkins Lyon will take it lightly. To put it simply, both parties are not stupid, and they invariably unfolded the situation carefully with the 'big name' in hand.

test.

A temptation that was over as soon as it began.

Academy City Central District, central area on the first floor of the arena, in front of stage 2, waiting area

"How are you? Are you nervous?"

In the bustling crowd, Jadeka turned to Mo Tan with a smile and winked: "It will start in less than half an hour. If nothing else happens, you will be on the fourth game of Channel 2."

."

Because the players will compete in three competition stages at the same time, the process of the first knockout round of the individual competition is relatively fast. As Jadeka said, Mo Tan, who drew the 22nd lottery, should be on the 2nd.

They will appear after the third game on the stage, and Liadrin and Kevin, who have drawn numbers 145 and 213 respectively, will be later, so everyone is basically on number 2 at the moment.

Waiting for Mo Tan's game to start near the stage.

However, in order not to attract the attention of others, except for Jadeka, Ji Xiaoge and Yaya, who did not look like contestants at first glance and no one knew them, the well-known Gavin Ladd and Mal

La, he was still wearing the Diesel family standard armor (Motan's was an old model from decades ago, and it didn't have the family crest). Neither Liadrin nor Kevin came over.

Mo Tan shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't feel nervous if I'm nervous, but it's really lively here. I feel like the atmosphere is pretty good."

"Hmm! That looks so interesting!"

Ji Xiaoge also nodded vigorously beside him and said with a smile: "Although this place is not as big as the arena in Tianzhu Mountain, it gives people a completely different feeling! It looks like a hot-blooded comic!"

Yaya tilted his head curiously: "Wangxuewanghua?"

"Well, it can barely be regarded as a culture in our world. It feels almost like a bard story~"

Ji Xiaoge put his arm around Yaya's shoulders and explained. He flapped his wings enthusiastically and looked around: "I wonder who Mo's opponent is!"

Jadeka shook his head: "There is basically no useful information collected before the end of the first round. Except for the contestants themselves and their relatives, no one even knows the opponent's origin and name, but basic information and so on

It will basically be completely transparent after the round, and the referee will briefly introduce the names and backgrounds of both parties before each game."

Ji Xiaoge hummed a little tune while combing Yaya's pigtails, and asked casually: "So what we need to pay attention to is the contestant from the Paladin Knight Academy?"

"That's what Marla and Gavin Rudd will do, at least until they lock in the target, we just have to enjoy the game."

Jadeka laughed and patted Mo Tan on the shoulder: "You too, you don't need to think so much, just enjoy the atmosphere here more."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and showed an exceptionally sunny smile to the old mage: "Don't worry."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Although he knew that his old friend did not need this kind of advice, Jadeka couldn't help but said: "As you said before, just do your best. Although you are also a trump card, the point is

In fact, we are still competing in the team competition.”

Mo Tan smiled at a few young people who nodded to him not far away, and continued to nod: "I know."

"Don't worry, Lao Jia, you said it yourself, Mo is definitely at the ceiling level in the high-level competition area."

Ji Xiaoge closed her wings, wrapped Yaya in her wings, hugged the latter who looked enjoying himself and playfully stuck out his tongue: "Although I don't know much about knights."

Suddenly, most of the men and a few women around them fell into a daze. You must know that Ji Xiaoge was quite conspicuous because of her appearance that was incompatible with the profession of knight. In addition, although she was in [Left and Independent]

Although his influence has been greatly reduced due to his talent, he still has a stunning appearance. It is really difficult to attract attention... especially from those young men who are full of energy.

Coupled with the playful look on her face just now with her tongue sticking out, the lethality is really quite powerful.

"Be low-key, be low-key!"

He told Mo Tan not to put too much pressure on him, but in fact, Jadeka, who was very concerned about the results of the individual competition, immediately nervously stood in front of Ji Xiaoge and whispered with a vigilant face: "Don't let Mo cause unnecessary trouble.

Pay attention!"

Ji Xiaoge smiled coquettishly, then stretched out his little hand and waved it gently to Mo Tan: "Go, go, take it somewhere else, I look so good-looking, you will get attention when you are next to me!

"

"oh."

Mo Tan nodded obediently, stood up, and then blended into the crowd without looking back, and soon disappeared from the sight of several people.

Ji Xiaoge was shocked at that time: "Hey! I was just joking!"

"Meowang!"

Yaya also let out a soft cry, and then jumped out with a 'swish': "Wait a minute!"

"Just don't go."

Jadeka grabbed Ji Xiaoge, who was about to follow him, and said seriously to the winged girl with a puzzled face: "You will affect his condition."

"Why would I affect his condition?!"

"Didn't you just say that you are so good-looking?"

"Yeah, yeah, then what?"

"Our family Mo is not a saint, especially since I haven't seen you much in the past few days."

"Eh?"

"Anyway, just listen to me and just stay here."

"Pfft~"

"Little pigeon, why are you laughing?"

"It doesn't matter what you say, Lao Jia, you actually care a lot about Yimo's grades, right?"

"..."

"Haha, I know, I know, as long as they don't go, I'll stay here to accompany the lonely old man."

"A...lonely old man?!"

…

a moment later

Game time am09:48

"The game is ready to begin, No. 3, Finn, a third-year student at Paladin Military Academy."

In the center of the No. 2 competition stage, a half-orc referee with a serious face, big nose and ears, who was wearing heavy armor, obviously of mammoth descent, knocked hard on the two heavy shields in his hands, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

After coming down, he said in a deep voice: "On the 4th, Rex, the delegation from the Knights Guild, comes on stage."

A few seconds later, the two contestants whose names were called stepped onto the stage. Finn, a third-year student at a military academy, was a lizard man boy whose age was unclear but who should be in his early twenties.

His face was livid and he was shaking violently, while his opponent, the orc knight Rex, had a straight face, with no expression at all.

Neither of them carried mounts. They wore different styles of knight's heavy armor, and their weapons were broadswords and battle lances.

However, the difference is that they are both two-handed weapons. The lizard boy holds a sword with both hands, while the orc knight standing not far from him holds a gun with one hand.

"The competition has no time limit. Anyone who loses consciousness, goes out of bounds, is judged to be unable to resist, uses prohibited drugs, maliciously maims the opponent, or attempts to kill the opponent will be deemed a failure, and those with serious circumstances will be punished."
