Chapter 24?? The Seven Star Sword Dance Festival Representative Selection Battle
Knife cutters are a high-profile figure for the general public.
Leaving aside the professional knights, even the student knights who are reserve forces will receive a lot of media attention. If a talented knight like Stella has a halo of identity, he will be the darling of the media and the king of traffic.
For example, take the annual Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.
As the pinnacle battle of student knights, this large-scale league with thousands of swordsmen vying for the top spot is also broadcast on TV programs every year, and the broadcast rights alone can be auctioned for more than one billion yen in royalties.
Some powerful swordsmen have already gained considerable popularity before the competition and have accumulated many fans.
Jiang Li was only a first-year student at Pojun Academy. He had no reputation at all before enrolling. Because of his master's deliberate protection, even the media didn't know that Dou Shen had a disciple like him.
Just four days ago, the duel between him and Shinguji Kurono was filmed by Kagami Kusakabe and posted on the Internet, which seemed to have accumulated a considerable amount of popularity for him.
Before school even started, he was already famous in Pojun Academy.
In any case, he once defeated the third knight in the world. In this school where most of the people are E-level and D-level swordsmen, he was already astonished.
"Nanxiang-san Nanxiang-san!"
Kusakabe Kagami squeezed to Jiang Li's side, stuffed his arm into her fate, skillfully used her weapon, and used his arm to swing, while speaking with bright eyes.
"Actually, I've always wanted to have an exclusive interview with you. Do you have time recently?"
Her immature face and large-scale fate made her actions very lethal, and she was unable to say rejection unconsciously.
"Let's chat privately later."
Jiang Li lowered his head and thought for a moment, and seeing that she was sincere enough, he readily agreed to her request.
"Really?"
"Actually, I also want to have a private chat with Nanxiang-san~!"
"I actually...want Nanxiang-san to bleed..."
Seeing Kagami's success in getting close to the beautiful boy, the female classmates next to him quickly became enthusiastic and moved closer to him one by one.
"Okay, students, please go back to your seats... Ahem, the class meeting is about to begin!"
Just when Jiang Li was almost overwhelmed by the outpouring of sincerity, a feeble voice came from outside the classroom.
As the voice came, the teacher's figure also appeared in front of everyone.
It was a very young female teacher with slightly curly light black hair. She was dressed in a standard workplace female dress. She was wearing a white shirt and a black hip-covering short skirt. She looked quite convex and curvy.
Attractive.
But although her figure and face are quite good, her face is as ugly as a zombie.
Her face was pale, her eye sockets were sunken, and her voice was weak when she spoke, as if she had been suffering from a serious illness all year round. This made the students worried that she might suddenly fall to the ground unconscious in the middle of class.
The possibility of getting sick at any time is enough to scare away any fantasies of the opposite sex.
After the teacher arrived, no matter how reluctant and regretful they were, everyone could only return to their positions.
Jiang Li glanced at the classroom and his face darkened slightly.
There are no other seats except the front row.
It seems that being tired of studying is the same no matter where you are.
Jiang Li had no choice but to sit down in the front row, causing the girls at the same table to look at him frequently.
"Ahem...Okay——☆! Dear freshmen, congratulations on your official admission☆!"
The young female teacher smiled broadly. She stood on the podium and fired a cracker at Jiang Li and others below. There was a loud bang and colorful confetti flying everywhere.
"I am in charge of Class 1, your homeroom teacher - Yusato Oreki! Although I am a rookie teacher and this is my first time as a homeroom teacher, I will work hard and become good friends with you all! Please don't be too serious.
, call me 'Arisato-chan' affectionately, the teacher will be very happy!"
Weird sauce added.
"No, it would be weird to call the teacher a friend, right?"
"I feel like I will be a very tiring teacher..."
There was a grumbling sound from someone behind.
"Well - today is the first day of school, so we won't have class! However, the teacher has something to announce, which is about the next (Seven Star Sword Dance Festival representative selection competition)!"
Seven Star Sword Dance Festival Representative Selection Competition.
As the name suggests, it refers to a practical assessment system that selects a fixed number of students to participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival from a total of more than 700 students in the school.
"The Seven Star Sword Dance Festival is a national-level league. All student knights can participate, but after all, the number of places is limited, so each school will select a fixed number of places in its own way."
Oreki Arisato stood on the podium. Although he spoke weakly, his expression was very excited, and he explained to everyone in such a contradictory tone.
"Although the chairman has already said it at the opening ceremony, the teacher still has to repeat it. In the past, Pojun Academy used ability scores as the selection criteria to select contestants, right? But this year, this has been abolished.
This system will be changed to a practical selection system that all students in the school can participate in!"
Among Neon's seven knight schools, six of them originally screened contestants based on ability values, that is, which students were sent to compete based on which student panel was better. Pojun Academy was one of them.
one.
However, this year, with the appointment of new chairman Kurono Shinguji, drastic reforms were carried out, the original ability value selection criteria were abolished, and the selection system was replaced by an all-combat selection system.
"The selection competition is a round-robin competition, and all students in the school can participate. Each person should have a game every three days or so, and each person must compete in at least ten games, which lasts for nearly a semester! After the selection competition is over, the school will draw
The six students with the best scores will become the contestants for this year's Pojun Academy to participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival!"
One game every three days, at least ten games.
Considering that this is a round robin, the one who can win in the end will probably have to play dozens of games each.
If it lasts for a whole semester, around mid-July, the six places for Pojun Academy will be freshly announced.
In other words, the selection process will last about three months in total.
"Seven Star Sword Dance Festival..."
After hearing Oreki Yusato's more detailed description, Jiang Li fell into deep thought.
Gathering all the student knights in Neon, they compete for the only throne (Seven Star Sword King) and become the focus of national attention.
Such a competition will definitely gather strong players, there will definitely be no shortage of C-level knights, B-level knights will not be absent, and there will also be unprecedented A-level knights like Stella participating... For anyone who is aiming at the top,
All are undoubtedly great tests.
For Jiang Li, this is like a huge trial ground. Only by overcoming this trial can he be qualified to break through himself, abandon his weakness, and reach the true peak.
