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 them one by one. He glanced at the unimportant people, but paid close attention to the powerful ones he encountered.
For example, last year's Seven-Star Sword King Zhuxing 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 have to pay attention to them when they compete against each other.
Suddenly.
Jiang Li discovered a familiar name.
"Sarah Bradlee?"
His eyes suddenly focused on a photo of a girl with messy golden hair.
This look and the naked apron are unmistakable, it is the Sarah 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 dark figures that appeared at that time were all trying to capture him alive.
It just so happened that Sarah showed extra enthusiasm towards him for some reason.
"The 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 Swordsman 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 is Sarah's fault, so it is not appropriate to have an attack easily.
He continued to browse the contestants from other schools.
Then I spotted another familiar figure.
"Wind Matsuri Rina?"
A pink-haired loli, even in the photo, she looks so average and has a very arrogant demeanor.
Surprisingly, it was the eldest lady of the Wind Festival Foundation whom I met in the exhibition hall last time.
"A first-year student at Lian Zhen Academy..."
These two people are actually swordsmen, and they are both this year's representative players?
What a coincidence?
Jiang Li continued to browse several pieces of information.
Then, his face suddenly darkened.
"Tatara Yui, a first-year student at Tanlang Academy...his ability is reflex!"
This petite figure.
The spiritual weapon is a chainsaw!
There is no doubt that he is definitely one of the three black shadows from the beginning!
Something is wrong!
Something is definitely wrong!
Jiang Li speeded up the flipping of the pages, his eyes scanning over several documents like lightning.
Sara and Kazamori Rina knew each other, and Tatara Yui was one of the three dark 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 as if 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 them together.
"What's wrong, Jiang Lijun?"
Kagami Kusakabe was typing on the computer when she saw him suddenly stand up and his expression became very unhappy, so she looked over with a surprised expression.
"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 me.
"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 players was only four or five at most.
"What about this year?"
"...Uh, accounting for nearly 40%!"
Kagami was dumbfounded.
what happened?
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 where they come from!"
The look on his face was a little unclear.
"give 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.
Jumon Academy, Zi Naomi Gong Tianyin.
Lucun Academy, Sarah Bradlee.
Bunko Academy, Hiraga Reisen.
Lianzhen 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 various Seven Stars Academy.
As 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 wanted to choose someone from among the representative players from Wuqu Academy... Of course, this was from the perspective of his opponent, and it was definitely not because he was an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Among the representative players of Wuqu Academy this year, except for the top three players who participated in the competition again last year, there is almost no one worthy of note.
Only one.
"Kagame, add this in 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 comes 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 seemed like he was deliberately going against Stella.
"By the way, help me investigate this Hiraga Reisen and see what his sword-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 the moment.
In this way, it makes much more sense that Sarah knows Rinna Kazamatsu, knows Tatara Yui, and Arisuin Nagi.
Judging from the puppet warlocks who had previously acted with the Black Iron King, the origins of these people were indeed suspicious.
