Chapter 318 The conspiracy against the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival
A stack of paper was divided into seven parts and placed on the table.
Jiang Li looked at each item one by one. He glanced at the unimportant people, but paid close attention to those with good abilities.
For example, last year's Seven Star Sword King Zhu Xing Xiongda, Jiang Li and he have been close friends for a long time. After all, they are both big customers of the pharmacist Kiriko, and he defeated his senior sister last year and is a B-level knight with good strength. There are others like Kurashiki Kuroto from Tanlang Academy, Kaga Koenji from Lucun Academy, etc. They were all in the top eight last year, so you should pay attention to them if you are facing each other.
Suddenly.
Jiang Li discovered a familiar name.
"Sarah Bradlee?"
His eyes suddenly focused on a photo of a girl with messy blond hair.
This look and the nude apron are unmistakable; they are the Sarah herself that she met in the exhibition hall.
"She is a student of Lucun Academy, a first-year student?"
Jiang Li was immediately surprised.
The last time he saw Sarah, Jiang Li didn't originally have the idea that she was also a knife-cutter because she fell to the ground when pushed and had an extremely weak constitution.
Unexpectedly, she was also a swordsman and became the representative player of Lucun Academy.
Wait a moment.
Then last time——
Jiang Li suddenly remembered the last night attack on Long Street.
That time was not long after he parted ways with Sarah, and what had always concerned him was that the several black figures that appeared at that time were all trying to capture him alive.
It just so happened that Sarah showed extra enthusiasm for him for some reason.
"Ability is color manipulation, concept...not creation?"
Jiang Li frowned.
Sarah's spiritual equipment is a paintbrush and a paint pad, and the ability described in the data is conceptual color control.
Contrary to what he thought, other swordsmen were not created through drawing.
Isn’t it her?
It is impossible for the Bladebreaker to have the second ability. If it is really color manipulation, it cannot be the creation of things.
Jiang Li suppressed this suspicion for the time being.
Now we can’t be sure whether it was Sarah’s fault, so it’s not a good time to have an attack easily.
He continued to browse the contestants from other schools.
Then I discovered a familiar figure.
"Wind Matsuri Rina?"
A pink-haired lolita, even in the photo, she looks so average and very arrogant.
Surprisingly, it was the eldest lady of the Wind Festival Foundation whom I met in the exhibition hall last time.
"First-year student of Lian Zhen Academy..."
These two people are actually swordsmen, and they are both this year’s representative players?
Is it such a coincidence?
Jiang Li continued to browse several pieces of information.
Then, his face suddenly darkened.
"Tatora Yui, a first-year student at Tanlang Academy... ability is reflex!"
This petite figure.
The spiritual weapon is a chainsaw!
There is no doubt that he is definitely one of the three dark shadows from back then!
Something is wrong!
Something is definitely wrong!
Jiang Li sped up the pages and glanced at the several documents like lightning.
Sara and Kazamori Rina knew each other, and Tatara Yui was one of the three shadows that attacked him that night... No, Tatara Yui that night was probably a shadow created by someone, not the real person. But is there really such a coincidence?
He felt like he had touched something.
But there was always a thin veil blocking his eyes, preventing him from seeing the whole picture.
Think about it carefully, what do these three have in common?
They are all swordsmen, all representative players this year, and come from different schools.
——All are first-year students!
Jiang Li suddenly discovered the key, then stood up suddenly, spread out all the information in front of him, sorted out the key information from the sheets of information, and then gathered it together.
"What's wrong, Jiang Lijun?"
Kusakabe Kagami was typing on the computer when she saw him suddenly stand up, his face became very unhappy, and he looked over in surprise.
"Kagami, among all the representative contestants of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival in the past, what proportion are first-year students?"
Jiang Li stood in front of the table.
There are a total of seven documents spread out in front of you.
"Let me take a look...it's only about 10%."
Kagami Kusakabe retrieved the data from the past three sessions, compiled them and gave the answer.
Among the total of forty-two players in previous years, the number of first-year students was at most four or five.
"What about this year?"
"...Uh, accounting for nearly 40%!"
Kagami was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
How could she not notice such a crucial element before?
This year’s representative players, there are actually more than a dozen first-year students, which is incredible!
"Kagame, help me investigate these six people."
Jiang Li put together several pieces of information and handed them to the reporter.
"Especially their origins!"
The look on his face was a little unclear.
"Leave it to me!"
Kagami took it enthusiastically.
She smells big news!
After reviewing several pieces of information one by one, Kagami entered their list into the newly created form.
Tanlang Academy, Duoduoliang Youyi.
Jumen Academy, Zi Naomi Gong Tianyin.
Lucun Academy, Sarah Bradlee.
Wenqu Academy, Hiraga Reisen.
Renzhen Academy, Fengji Rina.
As well as Pojun Academy and Arisuin Nagi.
There are six people in total.
All are first-year students, and they are evenly distributed in each Seven Star Academy.
While Kagami gradually became busy, Jiang Li returned to the pile of information.
Among the representative contestants of Wuqu Academy this year, there are no first-year students.
But Jiang Li still wants to choose someone from among the representative players of Wuqu Academy... Of course, this is from the perspective of his opponent, and it is definitely not because he is an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Among Wuqu Academy's representative players this year, except for the top three who participated in the competition again last year, there is almost no one worthy of note.
Only one.
"Jiajiamei, add this too!"
Jiang Li handed over the last list.
Kagami Kusakabe took it and glanced at the name on it.
"Martial Arts Academy, Black Iron King... isn't he a third-year student?"
"Yes, he is indeed a third-year student."
Jiang Li said in a deep voice: "But he has been missing for five years, and now he suddenly came back and signed up for this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. Isn't this strange?"
That's right.
The Black Iron King also participated in this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.
Combined with what he said last time in Okutama, it seems like he was deliberately going against Stella.
"By the way, help me investigate this Hiraga Reisen and see what his cutting power is!"
Jiang Li paused and finally warned: "Remember, you must be careful. There may be another force involved behind this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. It is still unknown who they are. Don't be reckless.
Act!"
That's right.
Another force intervened and arranged for these first-year students to enter the Seven Stars Academy. By becoming representative contestants, they wanted to do something for this year's Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival.
This is the most reasonable guess at present.
In this way, it would make more sense for Sarah to know Rinna Kazamatsu, know Tatara Yui, and Arisuin Nagi.
Judging from the puppet warlocks who previously acted with the Black Iron King, the origins of these people are indeed suspicious.
