When winter comes every year, the Babylon Academy of Magic and Martial Arts traditionally holds a competition between academies, with the winners receiving generous prizes to encourage students to study harder.
At this time, Babylon Academy of Magic and Martial Arts is the busiest time. Competitions between departments are no longer just for prizes, but also related to the reputation of a department, the face of teachers, and even the future of teachers in each department.
, are closely linked to this competition.
Therefore, at this time every year, all departments will send their strongest students to participate in this competition, not only for the sake of the students themselves, but also for the sake of the face of the teachers in each department and their future prospects in the college.
status.
The dark system and the light system have always been sworn enemies. Over the years, the two systems have been fighting openly and secretly. This time, the competition between the dark system and the light system is to win the title of the first system, which is why it has attracted so many people.
Onlookers came.
A huge magic barrier envelops the entire square. On the premise of fighting without losing their lives, five people from the dark system and five people from the light system are participating in the battle. A good show is now being staged in the square.
Han Shuo's eyes wandered around, and finally he saw Fanny sitting in the back corner among the row of teachers at the front desk. The stand was raised a little higher, and there were teachers from various departments, including the dean, sitting there.
It seems that they are paying great attention to this competition.
"Does anyone from our undead department join in?" After Lisa explained the situation to Han Shuo, Han Shuo was stunned and asked Lisa.
Shaking her head, Lisa said: "Our undead department belongs to the branch of the dark department. Because the teachers and students of the dark department are afraid that we will hold them back. So this time the competition did not include us at all, so we started from the beginning.
In the end, it was the students from the Dark Department who fought, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with us from the Undead Department."
"So that's it. Who do you think will win between the light and dark elements this time?" Han Shuo stared at the people on both sides of the square and asked casually.
"I don't know, the dark department and the light department have been the two strongest departments in the Magic Academy for many years. Over the years, the two departments have alternately won the title of the first department in the academy, and no one department can always win. Last year it was
The Dark Element has won a great victory. However, the leader of the Dark Element had already graduated and left at that time. The person from the Light Element is still there, so I think the Dark Element is a bit more dangerous this time." Lisa looked at the situation in the square and spoke for Han Shuo.
explain.
"Hey. It's a pity that we don't have anything to do with the undead department. Over the years, we have been directly excluded from every competition with the dark department. Although Teacher Fanny and Teacher Jean also work hard, because of this matter, in the academy
The status inside is also deteriorating. You see, Teacher Fanny can only sit in the last row now. Teacher Jean is afraid that others will laugh at him. He doesn't dare to show up here. Our undead department has really failed." Amy cried with a sad face and shook her head in frustration.
said.
"There is nothing we can do about this. The dark creatures summoned by our undead system are naturally restrained by the magic of the light system. Without the help of the summoned creatures, it is difficult for the necromancer to gain the upper hand in the face of light system attacks. This is also
No wonder Teacher Fanny has no choice but to accept the arrangement of the dark system and not let our people participate in the war, because that is just asking for trouble." Athena was also very depressed, and she and Amy had nothing to do with each other.
Talking to each other.
The square is not flat and unobstructed. On the contrary, various rockeries and trees are placed in the entire vast square, and rugged ravines are also added to the ground. Because it is necessary for the students to adapt to the real environment, the battle venue is
It's a little complicated.
At this time, the five people from the dark and light systems were in the square respectively, using artificial trees and strange rocks to cover their bodies. They would take the opportunity to attack each other from time to time, and then use the terrain to retreat or join their teammates. They were surrounded by a huge
In the square protected by the magic barrier, the light appeared dim. It seemed that this effect was also consciously created to facilitate better cooperation among the group.
The two sides were testing the situation at this time, and there was no real confrontation yet. Suddenly, a member of the dark side suddenly fell down holding his stomach, cold sweat oozing out from his forehead, and his face turned pale.
When Dio, the dark magician in the stands above, saw this situation happening, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately said to Dean Emma: "Dean, Fred seems to be unwell. I want to stop the competition and take a look.
Condition."
Emma, the Grand Magister of Space, also looked at Fred who fell to the ground with some surprise, as if wondering why Fred suddenly fell down before there was a real battle. When Dio said this,
He nodded and said, "Pause for a moment and see what's going on with Dio?"
Then Emma waved her hand, and the huge magic barrier suddenly lit up. Several other students from the Dark Department brought the painful Fred to Dio. The Dark Department Mage Dio, and several other Dark Department students
The teacher surrounded Fred and checked him. Finally, Dio said to Emma with a gloomy face: "Dean, Fred ate some food that he shouldn't eat. I don't think he can do it this time."
It’s game time.”
"Oh, my God, what is going on? It is said that Fred is about to graduate. He is a figure in the Dark Department who will soon become a senior magician. He is currently the captain of the Dark Department, and he is the most powerful.
If he is suddenly unable to compete, the dark system will be even more hopeless this time." Athena looked at the pale Fred from a distance and said with some worry.
Lisa nodded and said, "Yes, Kielon, the light element opposite, was the captain of the light element last year. It is said that Keelon already has the strength of a senior magician, but for this competition, he deliberately
The time to reach the next level has been delayed. Originally, we could still fight with Fred here, but something like this suddenly happened, and it seems that there is absolutely no hope for the Dark Element."
Han Shuo, who had sharp ears, watched Emma and others in the distance and could clearly hear the conversation between Emma and Dio. Because of Fred's problem, Dio tried to persuade Dean Emma to let this competition go.
The time was delayed for a few days, but Emma rejected Dio's proposal on the grounds of the academy's rules. She only agreed to let Dio replace a dark student to replace Fred.
With an angry look on his face, Dio argued with Emma in a sharp voice, saying that this was a conspiracy and that Emma must change the rules of the competition.
It's a pity that Magister Dio is only a dark teacher after all, so he can't compare with him.
Dio, who couldn't convince Emma, said angrily: "In that case, let's not compete. This time, others can say whatever they want."
"Teacher Dio, please pay attention to your identity. Although there was a little accident, I hope you don't want to change the tradition of the academy. Please find a replacement for this competition and complete it smoothly."
Emma, who had always looked kind, was obviously a little annoyed. She stared at Dio and said solemnly.
Emma can sit in the position of the dean of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Martial Arts. In addition to being a great mage of the space system, she also has unquestionable majesty. As soon as such a solemn warning came out of her mouth, Di immediately made Di
Ou was stunned.
Dio thought for a while with a sullen face. Dio turned around and looked at Fanny in the corner, and said, "Teacher Fanny. In all the competitions over the years, the undead department has never participated. I wonder if the undead department will also send out this time."
One person will take Fred's place and continue this competition."
Fanny, who was sitting in the corner of the back row and looking at the surrounding situation with an expressionless face, suddenly heard what Dio said, and was stunned immediately. Then she suddenly reacted, her charming face changed color and she said with an angry face: "Teacher Dio,
what do you mean?"
Anyone who understands can see that Dio deliberately said this to Fanny because of Fred's withdrawal, knowing that he had no way to win, and because of his anger with Dean Emma.
In this way, even if he loses, anyone with a discerning eye can see that what Dio did was done deliberately because he was unhappy. After all, the undead system is notoriously weak, and if Dio wanted to fight with anyone, he would not fight with the undead system.
What Ou did was clearly looking down on the undead system, and it could even be said to be an insult.
"Teacher Fanny, as a member of the Dark Department, the Undead Department should sometimes contribute to the Dark Department, don't you think?" A teacher from the Dark Department next to him naturally knew what Dio meant, so he thought for a moment and said.
.
Some of the teachers next to Fanny looked at Fanny with gloating, and of course some showed sympathy. However, the undead type was notoriously weak, so most of them didn't say anything, and most of them just looked at the good show.
"In normal times, why don't you think of our undead department? At this time, you are looking for someone to act as a shield, but you think of our department. I don't agree with this matter!" Without the participation of the undead students, Fanni's face was already pale.
, I just hope that this competition will end as soon as possible, so as not to have to endure the ridicule and sympathy eyes of others, but knowing that at the end, she was so insulted by Dio, this immediately aroused Fanny's temper.
Fanny is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Han Shuo knows this very well. Under normal circumstances, Fanny treats others with a smile and will not argue with others. However, once someone crosses her bottom line, Fanny will not show any weakness.
This time Dio obviously touched Fanny's bottom line.
The conversations of the teachers on the stands could not be transmitted to this side. Lisa and others looked puzzled. They didn’t know why Fanny suddenly stood up angrily. When they heard Han Shuo’s gloomy face, they didn’t know.
After explaining it once, everyone became extremely angry and scolded Dio for his shamelessness.
The strong body took effect at this time. Whoever blocked who was squeezed along the way. As the students cursed all the way, Han Shuo walked to the stands and suddenly said in a high voice: "Teacher Fanny, I want to replace Fred in the battle. I hope
You can allow it."
Seeing Fanny being humiliated, Han Shuo couldn't suppress the anger in his heart any longer. He shouted with a serious look on his face. His voice was so loud that it could be heard far away from the stands.
The area around the square was silent for a moment, and then a huge noise erupted immediately. All eyes were focused on Han Shuo in an instant, full of curiosity and excitement, as if they wanted to find out what was going on.
"Who is this person? He is very courageous!"
"Huh, you really overestimate your capabilities. Even Fred knew that he was no match for our department, so he took the initiative to pretend to be sick and quit, and yet there are still people who are humiliating themselves."
"Hey, isn't that Brian from our department? When did he come back?"
"..."
Chirping noises immediately resounded throughout the entire venue. All the teachers, students, and students looked curiously at Han Shuo, and even inquired about Han Shuo's origins and identity from the people around him.
Fanny was stunned for a moment. When she saw Han Shuo appear, her bright eyes sparkled, and then her charming face filled with anger broke out into a beautiful smile, and she said softly to Han Shuo: "Forget it, can't you see?
Is someone deliberately using us as a shield?"
Nodding, Han Shuo glanced at Dio who was opposite him calmly, and said to Fanny: "I know, but I still want to give it a try. Our undead system has been silent for so long, and it is time to appear in everyone's sight.
."
This competition is related to the future status of each teacher. As a teacher of the undead department, Fanny is framed by Dio and others. Naturally, Han Shuo will not allow this to continue to happen.
Han Shuo's firm gaze seemed to reveal some kind of message. Fanny looked at Han Shuo blankly for several seconds, and finally nodded and said to Dio: "Okay, I agree to your request and let him replace Fanny.
Red goes to battle."
After a while, Han Shuo's identity was quickly revealed in the undead students' message. His experience from the life of a handyman to the dark forest was already known to all the teachers, students and students in the square in a short period of time.
Especially from the mouth of the old witch Kemilla, the anecdote about Fanny and Han Shuo being in the same room late at night, with Han Shuo still in Fanny's bed, filled everyone with infinite reverie, and the discussion became louder and louder.
Everyone looked at Han Shuo with increasing enthusiasm.
"That's it. Let him take Fred's place and compete with the light system immediately. Well, let's go up and give it a try. It'll be over as soon as possible. It won't take too much time." Dio nodded and said to Fanny.
