Good luck with koi carp

Registration for the three-school joint competition is open until the end of December.


After the deadline for the competition, the college will count the list of all applicants, and then design the content of the on-campus selection competition based on the total number of applicants. However, based on past experience, the format of this year’s on-campus selection competition is unsurprisingly...


——Battle elimination system.


The content of the so-called battle elimination system is very simple, that is, the contestants choose their opponents based on drawing lots, and then compete one-on-one. The winner advances to the next round, and the loser is eliminated on the spot. This continues until the total number of people is eliminated. The standard for participating in the three-school joint competition is immediately over.


There won't be any complicated schedules like the resurrection games. Everyone has only one chance. If you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose.


Even if some people with good abilities accidentally win a stronger opponent during the lottery and lose, it is their own bad luck and cannot be blamed on others.


Similarly, there may be one or two lucky guys among those who finally get the quota for the three-school joint competition. This is also due to their own luck, and others can't say anything.


Chi Li seemed to have forgotten about it after registering. She had been studying step by step and did not pay too much attention to the matter. It was not until one day that she was suddenly informed that it was time to draw lots to determine the opponent, and she suddenly recalled it. I actually signed up for a competition.


"I would have forgotten it if you didn't remind me."


"It's okay. If you really forget, it will be a good thing for your opponent." Nicole, who came here specially to inform Chili to draw lots within the specified time, joked.


"I won't give the other party this chance." Chili replied following Nico's words.


After notifying Chili, Nicole was still busy notifying the next contestant, so she couldn't talk to her more. She quickly said goodbye to her and left. Chili counted the dates and found that today happened to be the day of the lottery, so she might as well Take Ashiks out to draw lots at the student union.


This on-campus selection competition was proposed by the school and provided support from all aspects, and was finally organized and organized by the student union.


The student union of Tsikangliwa College has great power, and even the authority of the student union president is second only to the vice president. Generally, those who can enter the student union are very outstanding students. After experiencing the experience of the student union, these students' A wonderful addition will be added to their resumes, and after graduation, most of these people will have higher achievements than ordinary students.


Of course, while obtaining rights and benefits, they must also bear corresponding responsibilities. For example, competitions organized by internal students of the school such as on-campus selection competitions must be hosted by them. Therefore, during the recent period, the students from the student union whom Chili knows, Many are very busy.


Among them were Larry, Lenana and others.


Larry is only a sophomore now, and he has already become the minister of a department in the student union. Chili has not specifically found out which department he is in. He only knows that Lenana is also in the student union and is in the same department as Larry. , is the vice president of that department, and can be regarded as Larry’s right-hand man.


The two of them were able to sit in this position in the student union at a young age. Apart from a small amount of family background bonus, the main reason was that they were good enough.


Therefore, when Chi Li came to the lottery site and accidentally bumped into Larry and others participating in the lottery, she didn't feel anything surprising.


The only thing that concerned her was: "Have you all reached the advanced level?"


This time Larry's small team of five people all participated in the competition, but Chili still remembered that when they met a year ago, the weakest among them was only at the junior level. How could he be promoted to the senior level in just one year?

Lucky for Larry and Akarina, they have already reached the intermediate level. If they work hard this year, it is not impossible to advance to the advanced level. What about Lenana and the others?


Thomas and Qiao Wu aside, Chi Li could tell that Lenana's aura had not increased much, and she should only be at the level of an intermediate priest now.


According to competition regulations, students with intermediate abilities should not be eligible to register.


"In my words, it's an exceptional treatment for special talents." Faced with Chili's question, Lenana smiled and raised a finger, pointing to the specific registration rules for the three-school joint competition posted on the wall for Chili to see.


Chili followed her prompts and looked over, and sure enough, among the dense rules and regulations, she saw a regulation about 'exceptional treatment for special talents'. The specific content was that for rare pastoral talents like Lenana, the registration standards could be lowered. You need to be at least intermediate level to participate.


Also, priests are considered rare talents in the world. After all, there are not many people with magical talents suitable for their attributes. And having such talents is not enough. You also need to be able to learn the corresponding healing magic. Therefore, the number of priests is very small. But when people are injured, apart from relying on medicines for treatment, they can only rely on priests to heal their wounds, so they are indispensable special talents.


They are like assistants in the game. If the three-school joint competition is regarded as a team game, then who do you think plays in a team without assistants?

Whether or not there is support makes a big difference to a team. Sometimes, the key to victory in a battle lies in the support. This shows the importance of a good support.


"So that's it. I didn't pay attention before. So when you participate in the school trials, you probably won't compete with us, right?"


By analogy, while Chili understood this rule, she also guessed that since Lenana was admitted as a special talent, it was naturally impossible for her to be like them and simply participate in the battle to eliminate others or be eliminated by others. Hate.


After all, priests are not good at fighting. If they really want to do this, it will not only be unfair to them, but also lose the meaning of recruiting special talents.


Sure enough, after listening to Chi Li's words, Lenana nodded and said, "I am conducting a trial in another mode. In addition, those seniors majoring in pharmacists and alchemists have also been arranged. The content of the competition is in their respective fields of expertise. Only low-grade applicants below the sixth grade, as well as students majoring in majors such as warriors or magicians, will participate in the trials in the form of direct battles."


Chili understood, and she just said, there are various types of talents in the school, some are good at fighting, and some are not good at fighting. How can it be so simple and crude to determine the final quota in the form of battle? It turns out that there are still students who are good at fighting. Specially designed competition.


"Let's draw lots first. It's almost our turn."


While the conversation was in full swing, Ekarina came over to remind Chili that it was time for them to step forward to draw lots.


Those who participated in the battle selection drew lots in the same lottery box, while non-combatants like Lenana drew lots in another lottery box.


The lottery that Chi Li drew was a golden ball with circles drawn on it. She was stunned for a moment, and then said to Ekarina and others who came over to see the result of her lottery: "I advanced directly."


"Wow, so powerful!" Qiao Wu looked surprised.


"You're so lucky!" After hearing the news, Lenana ran over and looked at the small ball pattern on Chili's hand excitedly, marveling at her good luck.


Since the school's final count of the total number of participants in the battle selection was an odd number, it was announced in advance when the lottery was held that students with a circle drawn on it would not need to participate in the battle and would directly advance to the next round.


When other students drew the same number, they would compete in pairs.


There is only one lucky person, and now it is definitely Chi Li.


After everyone learned the news, there were quite a few people who came to watch her, which made Chili a little annoyed.


Fortunately, after the draw that lasted for three days, everyone's opponents were determined, and the on-campus selection competition organized by Tsikangliwa College officially kicked off.


Considering the large number of participants, in order to save time, the school simply approved the largest training ground in the school and divided it into countless small arenas for the use of the participants.


There are more than 30 small arenas on site. Each arena is surrounded by a lot of protective magic applied by school teachers, so onlookers don’t need to worry about being accidentally injured by standing too close. Students who are not participating in the competition and just watching the excitement do not need to worry. You can freely choose your favorite opponents and watch their battles.


Some students still come with a learning mentality. After all, those who can sign up to participate in the competition basically have certain abilities and are very confident in their own abilities, so they more or less have two brushes. Watch a lot. It can also bring some different insights to bystanders.


Chili had already advanced, so there was no need to come over to join in the fun, but she couldn't bear Karina's request, so she came over to watch her compete on the day of her competition and cheer her on.


The opponent Ekarina drew was a fifth-year senior, and the opponent was a high-level magician with wood attributes.


Comparing the strength of both sides, despite the fact that Akarina is only a junior student and has just broken through to the senior level, she is actually the one with the advantage.


A world-recognized law: below the level of a great magician, when a warrior fights a magician, the warrior generally has a greater advantage.


The reason is also very simple. The magician needs to chant incantations to use magic, and some magic must be accompanied by specific gestures. The forward movement is too long. With this time, the human warrior will not know how many times he can kill him.


Therefore, when fighting warriors, magicians are very taboo about being approached by warriors. Basically, as soon as the battle begins, magicians will immediately distance themselves from their opponents to ensure that they can use magic.


The same was true for this senior when he was playing against Ekarina. As soon as the game started, he immediately jumped back. The necklace around his neck lit up at the same time, and a shadow of wings flashed behind him, holding the opponent's arms. The body flew back for a long distance, almost reaching the edge of the ring, putting a long distance away from Ekarina, and then began to chant magic quickly.


"The song of the earth, the spring of wood..."


Naturally, Ekarina would not let the other party finish chanting the magic spell completely. Almost as soon as the other party started to distance themselves from her, she also moved together.


Her attack method was very fast. The figure who raised the sword to stab quickly turned into an afterimage. In just a blink of an eye, she flashed in front of the senior, and the fierce attack followed.


Seeing this, the senior seemed to have been prepared, and stood still and continued to chant the spell. But when he was about to be attacked by Ecarina's sword tip, the necklace around his neck lit up again. This time, the necklace's power became A shadow of a shield that looked like folded wings blocked Ekarina's attack.


At the same time, the senior had finished chanting his magic and launched a direct attack on Ekarina who was very close at hand.


A green light full of life lit up, and a big tree grew out of thin air and appeared at the feet of Akarina.


If she hadn't acted quickly and dodged back in time, she might have been hit by the big tree that suddenly grew up. Before it was over, the big tree stretched out by the magic summons suddenly bent down, and its dense crown rested on the ground. , countless leaves circled like countless knives, attacking Ekarina densely, forcing Ekarina to give up the attack and switch to defensive moves.


She removed the long sword in her right hand, and a metal shield half a person's height appeared on her left hand. It stood in front of her with a bang, perfectly resisting the attack of the blade knife.
It’s only the first round of the match, and the scene is already so exciting that it’s hard to take your eyes off it.


It was also the first time for Chili to watch the battle between magicians and warriors in this world, so she was very focused on watching and learning their skills at the same time.


Just like the fighting methods of the gods in their fairy world, people in this world not only rely on their own strength to fight, but they also use various special equipment to fight.


For example, the senior's magic necklace has the ability to make short leaps and can also be turned into a shield, or Ekarina's sword and shield. These are special equipment specially made by alchemists. They match the abilities of their respective owners and can assist They exert greater power in actual combat.


I thought that everyone would have a short pause after the first round of fighting, but the actual battle was not a game, and the situation on the scene could be said to change almost minute by minute.


Just when everyone thought that Ekarina was overwhelmed by the intensive offensive of the seniors and unable to carry out the next attack, they saw that she actually raised her shield and charged forward fiercely like a bull.


Crackling, the blades of the blades hit the metal shield as densely as heavy rain, making a crisp sound.


Despite such an offensive, Ekarina seemed not to be affected in the slightest, rushing forward and about to reach the senior.


Seeing this, the senior seemed to have expected it. He continued to chant the next magic without any panic and dissatisfaction, and jumped to the side. With the help of the magic equipment around his neck, he easily distanced himself from Ekarina again. .


Just as the next more powerful magic was about to be sung, an unusual gust of wind suddenly came from behind.


The pupils shrank, but by the time the senior realized it, it was already too late.


The long sword was swung down, with an irresistible force, and it suddenly broke through the winged shield that appeared again, and hit the senior's back directly, sending him flying away. If he hadn't had other magical protective equipment on him that could be used in time The effect was so embarrassing that he fell to the ground with his face on the ground.


When he was trying to get up to continue fighting after the buffer, the sword edge stretched out from behind fell on the side of his neck, announcing the outcome of the match.


"I lost."


Although he was very unwilling to do so, the outcome was decided and the senior did not struggle too much. He lowered his head and admitted defeat.


"You are a worthy opponent."


Ekarina withdrew her weapon, pulled the senior up from the ground gracefully, and acknowledged the opponent's strength.


The senior smiled, accepted his defeat, and sent blessings to Akarina: "Come on, I hope you can finally get a place in the competition."


"Thank you."


After a brief post-match condolences, both parties left the ring and gave up the venue to the next group of contestants.


The senior ran to find his friend, and Ekarina also came directly to Chili: "I won."


"Congratulations." Chi Li congratulated with a smile.


She just saw that the reason why Aikalina was able to win was because of the dangerous tactics. She predicted that the senior would definitely try to distance herself from her in order to buy herself enough time to cast her magic. Therefore, Aikalin Lina simply gave up her defense and withstood the attacks of the dense blades, and rushed directly in the direction she predicted the senior would avoid. As a result, she actually met the opponent on a narrow road, and finally got close and won the victory.


For this battle, when the magician is approached by the warrior, the outcome is already determined.


Fortunately, the armor on Ekarina was high-end and had very strong defense. It blocked all attacks for her and did not cause her any injuries.


In fact, intramural competitions are like this. Everyone seems to be fighting fiercely, but in fact, they just stop fighting after the winner is determined. After all, we are all classmates, not life-or-death enemies, so there is no need to really fight. Beaten to death.


Therefore, excluding a few accidents and those students with hot tempers who are really angry when they fight, basically there are very few bloodshed accidents on the scene.


Even if it does happen, it won't be a big problem. The teachers and the team of professional priests and pharmacists prepared by the school are here to guard. Once an injured person is found, they will be treated immediately to ensure that no accident occurs to any student.


When the first round of selection is over, half of the participating students will be eliminated, and the remaining students will be drawn in the second round to decide their opponents. This time, the remaining students plus Chili will be an even number, but there will be no byes. It's a good thing to advance, so Chili will definitely meet an opponent.


Chili said she was looking forward to this.


She has never really fought against anyone. Although she knows that her warrior strength has reached an advanced level, she still doesn't know what it will be like to actually fight against someone.


Even though Chi Li's warrior strength is only at the advanced level, her spiritual power has indeed broken through to the intermediate level of Jindan. If converted into the power level of this world, she can almost rank among the great magicians.


There is a dividing line between great magicians and high-level magicians. The strength of the former is geometrically higher than that of the latter, and great magicians have the biggest advantage, they can cast magic instantly.


It can be said that as long as they can successfully advance to the Grand Mage level, basically every Mage can be regarded as a small movable fort that can continuously launch magic attacks to bombard their opponents. At this time, they no longer need to be afraid of fighting alone with warriors, because Before the warrior can get close, he is often knocked dizzy by countless magic spells, making him unable to fight at all.


It was precisely because of his strength in magic that Chi Li was sure that he would be able to successfully get a place in the three-school joint competition, and finally win the reward that he was going to give to Ashix.


"What number did you win?"


After drawing the lot, Ekarina ran over and asked Chili's number to check whether the two of them were selected as opponents.


Although this possibility is low, it is not impossible.


"No. 88." Chi Li showed her number ball to Ekarina. Ekarina breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Fortunately, I am No. 36, Larry is No. [-], and we are not together. .”


The reason why Thomas and Joe Wu were not mentioned is because those two people were eliminated in the first round.


Chi Li also found out later that the two men's strength was able to reach a high level so quickly because they relied on the special training of their respective families and the consumption of high-level potions.


The strength gained in this way is not stable enough without the accumulation of time. Therefore, even if they break through to high-level warriors, their strength is still at the bottom of this level. They cannot beat others who have actually improved through their own efforts. The opponents are also normal.


In other words, their elimination is simply inevitable.


So Chi Li expressed confusion about this: "Since we all know that we will lose, why do we still do this? If I remember correctly, this will consume their talents, right?"


There is a price to be paid for trying to encourage growth.


"Well, the reasons are very complicated, and I don't know how to explain it to you. You just need to know that they had no choice but to do this," Ekarina sighed with a complicated expression.


Seeing this, Chi Li also wisely stopped asking any more questions.


In fact, just by looking at their identities, you can tell that Zuo is just another unknown political game, and it is probably related to Larry. These two people, including Ekarina and Lenana, are openly Larry. The friends here are actually the subordinates who follow His Highness the Prince and are his powerful team.


As people who are protected by royal family members, what could force Thomas and Qiao Wu to rather damage their talents and improve their strength as soon as possible?


Chi Li's experience in the officialdom in her previous life told Chi Li that this matter was not simple.


It is likely to involve an internal fight within the royal family, which is why Ekarina cannot explain it clearly to Chili.


After guessing this, Chili stopped her thinking in time and stopped guessing.


Although she was on good terms with Larry and others, she actually had no intention of surrendering to them, so even if Larry got into a royal fight and implicated Thomas and others, it had nothing to do with her.


So she quickly put the matter out of her mind and no longer paid attention to it.


The school gave the students who were eliminated in the first round a day off, and then started the second round of elimination the next day.


Chi Li followed the instructions on her number plate and when she heard the teacher calling her number, she followed the sound and stood on the corresponding stage.


Opposite, stood a sixth-grade senior.


This senior, like Chi Li, is also a warrior, and he is not an ordinary warrior, but a Pegasus knight.
