Shinguji Kurono sat at the table with a worried look on his face.
There was a document placed in front of her, and her index finger kept tapping on the table.
"Among the eight academies, only Pojun Academy is the one that has not submitted its registration form."
She held her forehead and sighed.
If this continues, the number of representative contestants from Pojun Academy this year will have to be cut in half, and it will suddenly become the one with the fewest contestants among all the academies.
This is her first year in office.
I have agreed with the board of directors that I will lead the academy to achieve good results. If this continues, there will be no talk of good results. I will be thankful that I will not be expelled.
"Please come in."
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Daohua, are you finally awake?"
Seeing the two figures coming hand in hand,
Shinguji Kurono's eyes suddenly lit up.
"And Jiang Li,
You didn’t come back until today, you are really generous,
I thought you two were going to miss this year’s Seven Star Sword Dance Festival!”
Her spirits were visibly lifted.
"The chairman is worried."
Dongtang Daohua bowed to her apologetically.
"It would be nice if he could come back in time. There is no need for you to apologize on his behalf."
Shinguji Kurono waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"You are here just in time, sign this contract!"
She took out two documents from the table and handed them to the two of them.
"Contract?"
Jiang Li took it over.
Written on it are the competition regulations for participating in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, and it clearly states "If you don't sign, you can't participate."
"This is not so much a contract, but a life and death status, right?"
Jiang Li looked at the regulations above and couldn't help but complain.
The regulations clearly inform participants that death may occur in the competition. If you still plan to participate despite knowing this, please sign your name.
"The organizers also have various difficulties."
Upon hearing this, Shinguji Kurono spread his hands helplessly.
"More than once in the past, after the death of a participating student, parents made a fuss and society condemned it.
The media is overwhelmingly criticizing the matter, if we don’t deal with this prerequisite first,
There is no way to hold the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival."
A lesson for those who have gone before and a guide for those who will follow.
That’s why the organizer just came up with this kind of regulations.
In this way, even if a death occurs, it will not be overly condemned.
After all, a force-based competition like this cannot be without the risk of casualties.
No matter how hard you try to protect yourself, accidents will always happen.
"After seeing this kind of thing, can ordinary students really handle it?"
Jiang Li expressed doubts about this.
Except for Wuqu Academy and Pojun Academy, the representative players of other schools are designated by the school. Their advantages are only high level and strong ability, and they have basically never experienced decent battles.
You are told at the beginning that there is a risk of death. Is it that the average student is worried at the beginning and can’t help but want to quit?
"If you don't even dare to take this risk, you are not qualified to be a sword knight."
Dongtang Daohua smiled fearlessly.
She picked up the pen on the table and signed her name very naturally.
To put it into detail, this should be her third time participating in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival this year. She usually accepts emergency dispatches from the alliance and has faced terrorists several times. This kind of competition will not scare her.
Jiang Li followed closely behind and also signed his name.
"Okay,
This way you can submit the list."
Shinguji Kurono filled in the two names on the registration form and sent it to the operating committee via the Internet.
"By the way,
You should also take a look at this list, this year’s Seven Star Sword Dance Festival is very different from previous years!”
With that said, she handed over a list.
Above is a list of all the schools and contestants participating in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival this year.
Among all schools, Wuqu Academy and Akatsuki Academy have the largest number of students.
There are a total of six contestants from Wuqu Academy, and one of them is a lot. Among them are the top three from the last Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, so they are very powerful.
There were originally seven people in Akatsuki Academy. Due to Nagi Arisuin's withdrawal, the number became six. However, none of them are efficient, especially Kurogane Ouma, Murasaki Nomiya Amane and Sarah Bradlee.
The three of them are even more terrifyingly powerful. Each one is at least an A-level swordsman. They can be said to be their formidable enemies this time!
Then there is Pojun Academy, which became five people because of Arisuin Nagi’s withdrawal.
The remaining five Seven Star Academy equally divided the remaining number of people.
"Wait, there are only 36 people this year?"
Jiang Li calculated the total number of people.
The remaining five schools have a total of only 19 people. On average, a school has less than four.
Each school has 6 representative contestants, but in the past, at least 42 students participated.
"This is what happened this year."
Shinguji Kurono lay on his back on a chair, looking much more relaxed.
Dongtang Daohua's awakening and Jiang Li's return suddenly made her more confident.
"The battle between you and Akatsuki Academy a few days ago has already been uploaded on the Internet. Now the entire society is paying attention to this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, even the foreign media are no exception!"
Because the Prime Minister is involved behind the scenes of Akatsuki Academy.
There are also rumors that the students at Akatsuki Academy are recruited from terrorist organizations.
This caused some people to panic and demanded on the Internet that this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival be suspended.
Of course, the Prime Minister himself categorically denied it. He insisted that the origins of everyone in Akatsuki Academy were very innocent. He also seized on the righteous cause of "taking back the educational sovereignty of the Blade Slayers" and successfully attracted the support of a large number of people. Now, the public opinion of the entire island country is focused on the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival two days later.
The entrance to Akatsuki Academy is essentially a game between the island country's political power and the alliance headquarters. All success or failure will be revealed at the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.
"Leaving aside Wuqu Academy, most of the students from other schools have seen terrorists for the first time, and they are such terrible terrorists."
Kurono Shinguji explained: "After watching the video, anyone who sees that the entire Pojun Academy is helpless in the hands of terrorists will be shocked, so there are one or two people in each school.
Abstained... although this matter itself is a huge shame for us!"
The opponent is a terrorist, so it is natural that he cannot defeat him.
It is normal to think this way, but there are too many abnormal people on the Internet, and there are many people who ridicule Pojun Academy for being rubbish!
The reason why no one abstained from Wuqu Academy is because the school itself has a strong martial arts style. It conducts actual combat selection every year, and the students' psychological quality is extremely strong.
"In short, we urgently need to use this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival to prove ourselves and wash away the shame on us."
A sharp smile appeared on Shinguji Kurono's face.
"You should also prepare and set off tomorrow afternoon to the venue of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival!"
She won't follow.
As one of the top swordsmen of the young generation of the island country, she also holds other important responsibilities in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival and will go to the venue alone.
"After we get there, Dao Hua, the head of the delegation, will have full authority to handle all matters."
"About this matter, Chairman, I have a proposal."
At this time, Dongtang Daohua suddenly spoke up.
"As the leader of the delegation, I think it is more appropriate for my junior brother to be the leader."
