After the registration for the Rising Star Competition ended, although classes continued as normal on the surface, many changes occurred secretly. Many students began to practice swordsmanship and combat practice after school. Many aristocratic children were full of excitement and expectations for it, and fantasized about it.
Like the characters in the story, I will become famous in one fell swoop.
But for most poor people, fighting is actually not that beautiful. Many people have experienced hunting wild animals, street fights, weapon fights, frequent dirty tricks, etc. when they were young. Fighting or hunting are just a way to make a living, and they are also a means of making a living.
It is a means of livelihood that needs to be used with caution, because the price of injury is not something that the poor can afford. Infection, illness or disability will almost directly spell the end of a person.
Fortunately, Emenas provides free treatment for this battle, and students from the 'Leaf of Life' club will also assist in treatment, which solves most students' worries before they dare to sign up.
A week later, the competition officially started.
As the bell rang, some students walked out of the classroom and hall one after another. Tomorrow is the weekend rest day. School ends relatively early this afternoon, and there is still a lot of time before the sun sets.
"Loran, are you going to participate in the preliminary round today?"
After school, several girls walked slowly along the corridor with the flow of people, chatting with each other.
"Yes, it seems that you are the only one not participating in our dormitory, Alena."
"Aha, I have more important things to do. Let's keep this secret for now."
Alena smiled and made a gesture. Recently, the four of them have only been together in class and when they returned to the dormitory to rest. The rest of the time they were busy with their own affairs. Lorraine Hill needed to deal with some affairs on Lorraine's side, so Ni
Ya seems to have contacted a certain club of orcs in the school and has become a preliminary member and is participating in some activities and training. Letis hangs out with the group of noble ladies every day, discussing clothes, matching, and poetry.
And so on.
"Okay, that's it. See you tonight." Lorraine Hill waved his hand and said a simple farewell. Then he walked towards the entrance of a narrow passage. He first showed his qualification certificate and micro-stamp for verification.
Afterwards, the guard let her in.
"See you later."
Several other people also walked and dispersed to different entrances of the passage.
The entrances to these passages lead to the underground of the classroom hall, where there are spacious separated basements. There are many people in the preliminary round, and it is also due to confidentiality. The contestants will only know which passage they are going to this afternoon, and they will receive it later.
According to the instructions of the staff, go to the battle basement where you are.
After leaving the flow of people and entering the passage, a bright gem will be placed in the stone slab above your head at regular intervals, illuminating the steps and floor under your feet.
The passage is about two meters wide, with gray and bluish stone walls on both sides. It feels a little cold to the touch. Walking in the empty passage, you can clearly hear your own footsteps. There is a unique underground coolness in the air, but
Fortunately, it's relatively fresh and not stuffy.
Walking quietly in the passage, Lorraine Hill could only hear the distant voices behind him as students were leaving school, while there was silence in front of him.
Are there so few people? She couldn't help but think that although she was probably in a small arena, it was too quiet.
Following the direction indicated by the note in her hand, she finally stopped in front of a stone door next to the passage, and placed her student badge on the pattern in the middle of the stone door. The pattern slowly glowed with blue-white light, and then the stone door slowly opened.
Slide it open and a vast space is revealed.
Bang--
An extremely dull ripple spread out, and the air was contracted and twisted, as if being hit by a giant hammer, making people tremble and spit out blood, and then came a sound that was almost deafening.
The empty basement was about more than a thousand square meters and more than ten stories high. A burst of smoke and dust rose from the wide ground, and a circular network of cracks appeared on the floor with the smoke as the center.
"Hahaha, is this the only level?"
There was a burst of laughter in the venue, and then a young man wearing loose short sleeves floated in the air. He sat on a huge stone throne, then waved his hand forward, and more than a dozen light beams shot out from the air.
When it came out, the beam of light cut neatly on the ground according to the predetermined trajectory, plowing out several deep ravines in the ground. The broken stones exploded and flew around, some flew to the far boundary, and hit dents on the wall.
mark.
A petite figure rushed out of the smoke. She had a pair of light blue spiral ponytails and was dressed a little cutely. She held a three-meter-long giant hammer in both hands, and the head of the hammer was stained with powder from crushed stones.
. Wearing a black and white bubble skirt, her body drew a huge arc in the air, carrying a critical force, and hit the short-sleeved boy opposite with a giant hammer.
The short-sleeved boy jumped up from the throne and flew into the air. The throne was directly smashed by the girl with two ponytails, along with the broken stones. Finally, the stone hammer hit the wall behind, and there was another loud noise, and an appearance appeared on the wall.
A circular cracked mesh pattern.
After the short-sleeved boy jumped into the air, he stretched out his hands and formed a cross shape. Complex golden marks began to appear on his forehead. Seventeen golden fireballs slowly condensed in the air. The vast magic power continued to spiral into this one.
In a golden fireball, the burning flame is colorless and transparent, and can only be seen clearly through the twisted air and light. The amazing heat it emits can ignite people even thousands of meters away, and the air begins to
It gives off a burnt smell.
The petite girl saw it but was not afraid. She picked up the giant hammer with one hand and struck it on the ground. As if the colorless air flow escaped, the gravel and dust everywhere were swept away, and there were violent vibrations in the ground.
, all the stone slabs on the ground cracked, and then began to rise and fall like waves, like the waves before a storm.
Long——
There was an almost continuous sound of breaking through the air, and huge stone pillars broke out of the ground one after another, piercing the sky quickly, and finally hitting the ceiling directly. Unlike energy attacks, these thick and tight stone impacts are almost impossible to offset with attacks.
, can only keep dodging.
The short-sleeved boy couldn't hide, and was directly scratched by a sharp stone on one of the pointed pillars. Blood left his face and shoulders, staining them all.
"hateful."
An angry roar came from his mouth, and then his pupils shrank rapidly, golden light spread across his pupils, seventeen golden fireballs impacted and exploded between the underground stone forests, the strong light swallowed everything, and the terrifying heat swept across
Throughout the space, countless shattering and explosive sounds were mixed together, forming a loud noise that drowned everything.
After a long time, the fire light dissipated, the smoke slowly dissipated, and Lorraine Hill slowly stepped into the messy battlefield. There were broken stones and deep pits everywhere. Only then did the ceiling above his head appear.
There was an announcement.
"Contestant No. 106 won, Contestant No. 5 failed. Please prepare Contestant No. 309. There are wooden weapons to choose from."
After the words fell, a soft sound of footsteps slowly walked out of the smoke. It was the girl with twin ponytails just now. She threw aside the unconscious boy in short-sleeves like a dead fish.
"Hello sister, I am No. 106 Aloy, are you No. 309?"
She shook the dust off her body and showed an innocent and lovely smile on her face.
