As the weather gets warmer, the rainy season in Emenas gradually arrives.
It was just dawn in the morning, and the rainwater accumulated last night was still on the ground. Some white petals and green leaves were also scattered on the avenue, and were stepped on by some students who got up early.
The central school building is located on a flat surface, and the main building is roughly divided into Z-shaped areas. A large area in the north is where the teaching hall and classrooms are located, and the south-west part is used for various activity facilities, such as an archery range, where freshmen learn riding skills.
There is a racetrack, a courtyard for combat training, an activity room for student clubs, a garden for raising monsters, etc. The east and south part is the dormitory for freshmen and senior students in the Central Campus.
The apartment-style pavilions made of white bricks and stones are neatly arranged, but they do not appear dense. There are open spaces between the buildings. Many green apricot trees are planted around the pavilion. Nowadays, apricot flowers are in full bloom.
During the season, the white petals are divided into five pieces and spread out evenly. The tips of the slender white stamens are light yellow. If you look closely, you can see fine pollen scattered.
As the sun slowly rose, the number of students on the avenue gradually increased. Four girls from the same dormitory walked among them, talking quietly.
"No way, Luo Lan actually lost."
Since Lorraine Hill went back late last night and everyone else had gone to bed, Alena only now knew the result of the battle.
"Why are you so surprised? There are indeed many hidden talents in the Rising Stars Competition." Letis stared at Alena with some confusion.
"You guy, you must have gone to place a bet, right?"
"Ahaha... How is that possible? How could I bet money?" Alena denied it, but she looked disappointed. Although she didn't bet money, it was probably someone else who had bet it.
"So, who defeated Lorraine?" Niya asked curiously as she walked beside her, wearing a light brown hat on her head.
"Well, keep this a secret."
Seeing Lorraine Hill deliberately not saying anything, Alena was a little annoyed. She wanted to rush up and pinch her face, but she gave up in frustration after thinking that she couldn't beat her.
In the previous battle class, the two simply competed with wooden swords, or Alena competed with several people in the dormitory with wooden swords at that time. Unfortunately, they lost all three battles. Needless to say, Lorraine Hill, Niya has been using the wooden sword since she was a child.
Living on the grassland, fighting with wooden sticks has been an entertainment activity for the grassland people since they were young. Letis also learned court swordsmanship when she was a child. Although the actual combat was average, it was much better than Alena's random stick swordsmanship.
In this way, the top four of the Rising Star Competition were finally decided, namely Bumantha, Isaiah, Rock, and the orc freshman Tim.
Regarding this strange result, several teachers who knew the truth shook their heads one after another, wondering whether two of them were lucky or the others were unlucky. Since the numbers were all randomly assigned at that time, what happened was that, by coincidence, a few of them were lucky.
Gold-level geniuses gathered together and were eliminated by each other. The top ones, Aloy, Lu Shuang, and the short-sleeved boy were all defeated by Lorraine Hill and failed to enter the top sixteen.
.
So much so that after entering the semi-finals, two of them are only silver-level combatants. The only thing that is gratifying is that one of the two most special geniuses, Bu Mansha, has also entered the semi-finals.
"Miss Lorraine No. 309 abstained from voting for some reason, which is a pity." A teacher looked at the form in his hand.
"Maybe people don't care about rankings. Those Easterners do have this kind of personality and hobbies." Another teacher who inspected and repaired the site said. As he pressed his hand on the ground, the bumpy ground became smoother, and the surrounding walls became smoother.
It has also returned to its former glory, and some potholes have been filled with emerging soil.
Then a burst of gray brilliance spread, and the soil and debris petrified again, forming diamond-shaped floors. In order to show the grandeur of the final venue, the teacher also put some thought into condensing star patterns on the stone slabs to correspond to the new stars.
The final of the competition.
"Your ability to petrify is really useful. It should be good for building houses." The teacher holding the form said enviously.
"Haha, a nobleman did ask me to do something similar before, but later he thought my price was too high, so he stopped doing it."
"Isn't this a piece of cake? How much do you want it to cost?"
"300 extraordinary gold coins."
"That's really expensive."
"You don't understand. The house and the floor are completely different. If you build them all in one piece, it will easily cause problems. It will collapse if it is broken. And if you really want to build it piece by piece like an ordinary mason, then why do you need me to go there?
Well, that’s why I wasn’t invited later.”
After the two chatted for a while, as the sky grew late, the freshmen began to finish class, and the finals were about to come.
The first is Bumantha versus Tim.
The tall body is about two meters high, with two thick black horns pointing straight into the sky. If you look closely, you can see rough spiral patterns on the horns.
Facing Bu Mansha was Tim, a new student from the Tauren tribe. He was holding a thick spear and standing on the battlefield. The lights were particularly bright today. Several shining magic balls were suspended in the air. The referees and teachers were watching the battle.
There are several of them.
Compared to Tim, who is tall and strong, Bumansha looks a bit small. This time she did not use a wooden pole, but a slightly more formal wooden sword.
Looking at the girl opposite, holding a wooden sword as slender as a fire stick, Tim dismissed it. He held a big gun as thick as an ordinary person's fist in his hand, and then punched the ground, directly making a hole of five meters.
Lai Chang's spear trembled. A spear is stronger than a sword. This is a 'truth'.
Although he is also a Sequence 4, he has a strength that is comparable to Gold level, that is, close to Sequence 5. He is called the "giant bull of the sky" by the great shaman of the clan, which means a bull born according to God's will and can wrestle with giants.
Along the way, he easily defeated the silver-level freshmen at the same level, which boosted his confidence a lot.
"The battle begins!"
Following the referee's order, Tim held the big gun and lunged forward.
The body of the gun shook, and the tip of the gun pumped the air, making a thunder-like sound. With one stab, the afterimages of seven gun flowers swayed out, making it difficult for people to deal with it.
Seeing that the afterimage of Gunpowder was about to cover Bu Mansha. She pulled up the sword light from bottom to top, struck the middle point of the spear tip in the rapidly shaking afterimage, and then folded it, and the big spear went directly
It was split in the middle by the sword light, and the cracks continued to extend, and one gun turned into two guns.
"How is that possible?"
After just one move, the weapon in his hand was already useless. Tim threw away the damaged weapon, took a deep breath, and then let out a violent roar from his mouth. The huge sound waves spread, lifting up gravel and soil particles, and flew directly to the opposite side.
Bu Mansha, you can even feel a burst of pain when hit on your body.
Immediately afterwards, Tim's whole body was covered with a layer of golden metallic luster, and he rushed towards his opponent, his heavy footsteps shaking the ground like rolling thunder.
But when he was about to hit Bu Mansha, he lost sight of her figure, and then cracks and scratches began to appear on the metal-covered body, and bright red blood flowed down.
Tim yelled unwillingly, and then attacked and chased several times, bringing up a puff of smoke and making several large craters, but he still couldn't get close to Bu Mansha.
Snap——
Finally, the heavy body hit the stone slab on the ground with a loud noise. After losing too much blood, Tim fell unconscious and the referee's voice also sounded.
