Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

"By the way, are any members of the Forbidden City Army participating in the military region's grand competition?"

Mo Xie withdrew her gaze and asked in confusion.

"What are you thinking? Although the Forbidden Army does have military mages who meet the age requirements, they are all special personnel and will not participate in the competition, otherwise it would disrupt the balance."

Zu Xingyi chuckled softly and said in a slightly annoyed tone.

"makes sense……"

Mo Xie also thought this made a lot of sense. After all, the Forbidden Army was stronger and more talented than others, which was indeed a bit unfair.

"Even though the contestants in this military region competition are very strong, your mentor believes you can definitely amaze everyone. Keep it up!"

Zu Xingyi grinned, then put his arm around Mo Xie's shoulder and said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie was slightly touched, but he chuckled helplessly and said in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"Please, you're making such pronouncements before the competition has even started, and you haven't even told me the specifics of the competition yet."

"Ah...oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Seeing Zu Xingyi's awkward, self-smiling expression, Mo Xie's eyes twitched imperceptibly a few times, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He thought he was used to this guy being serious sometimes and out of touch sometimes, but he still wanted to complain every time!

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you the details of this military region competition next."

Zu Xingyi coughed lightly, his smile fading, and said in a serious tone.

"The military region's competition is generally divided into three parts and lasts for about a month and a half..."

"Isn't a month and a half a bit too long?"

Mo Xie frowned slightly. If the competition lasted for a month and a half, he really didn't want to participate, since he wasn't exactly a formal military mage.

"Don't worry, you definitely won't need that much time. Let me finish."

"Okay, you go ahead."

Zu Xingyi glared at Mo Xie with annoyance and continued speaking.

"The first part is individual combat, where opponents are selected by drawing lots. It is a fair, just and open one-on-one battle that tests the military mages' cultivation and combat skills."

"In the first round of the competition, each person will fight five battles. The first person to win three battles will advance to the next round, while the person who does not win three battles will be eliminated. The two thousand participants will be eliminated until only five hundred people remain."

"Of course, if the number of people who win three battles exceeds five hundred, then they will enter the additional round."

Hearing the rules for the first round, Mo Xie was secretly shocked. He hadn't expected that just the first round would eliminate three-quarters of the participants. It was too cruel.

"The second part is the survival battle. The remaining five hundred people will be thrown into a deserted island forest to test the military mages' survival skills and adaptability."

"The isolated island war should be the longest because there will be no assistance, so everything depends on the military mages themselves, whether they act alone or in a team, as long as one hundred people are left to advance."

"Moreover, there are demons on the island, so everyone not only has to face the battles with military mages, but also the pursuit and encirclement of demons!"

"Of course, we will send instructors to secretly follow and monitor them in real time, score them in real time, and provide real-time assistance, so that the military mages will not lose their lives because of a competition."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie's eyes lit up, and he became extremely interested in this second round of the survival battle, secretly looking forward to it.

Island survival is much more interesting than the previous individual battles, which makes sense!
After all, the missions of military mages are all carried out outside the safe zone, and the isolated island is the best testing ground. Not only must they be careful of the opponent's sneak attack, but they must also be on guard against the eye-catching demons, which greatly increases the difficulty.

"The third part is the team competition. The last 100 people will be randomly divided into teams of five and drawn to compete against each other, which will test the teamwork and communication skills of the military mages."

"In team competitions, it's not about who wins in the end. We score based on the role each player plays in the team, but winning the group stage is definitely a bonus." "Don't worry, you don't need to participate in the next two rounds, except for the first round of individual matches."

Mo Xie had just become interested in the military region competition, but he didn't expect Zu Xingyi to suddenly say that. He asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"why?"

Zu Xingyi smiled slightly and explained.

"Actually, today's national military region competition is a bit different, as it relates to the competition for world-class universities to be held next year."

"A battle for the world's best universities?!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie's pupils contracted, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

If you count the time, it has been three years since the last World University Competition, so next year is indeed the time to hold the next one.

But what is the connection between this national military region competition and the competition among world-class universities?

Could it be... related to the two military positions in the Nationalist Army?

Seeing Mo Xie's surprised expression, Zu Xingyi seemed to have expected it and said with a smile.

"In the World University Competition, each country sends a national team to challenge other countries' national pavilions. Only national teams that win a certain number of national pavilion badges are qualified to enter the main competition of the World University Competition."

"The National Government Team consists of twelve official players and three substitute players, for a total of fifteen players."

"Of those twelve official team members, two will be assigned to the military, so..."

Mo Xie nodded and added.

"So this national military region competition is related to those two spots for the Nationalist government team?"

"That's right. People who are trained as military mages are much better than students who live in academies, so each National Academy team can only allow two military mages to participate."

"Actually, there's something I don't understand. If the students in the military academy are clearly stronger, why give so many spots to the academic institutions?"

Then, Mo Xie raised her own question.

Zu Xingyi patted him on the shoulder and replied with a smile.

"If all countries send military mages to participate in the competition for world universities, then the nature of this international competition will change."

"makes sense……"

"The selection of players for the National Government Team is based on the recommendation votes given by the higher-ups. As long as you get four recommendation votes, you can become a formal member of the National Government Team. If you only have three, you will become a substitute player."

"The recommendation votes are all in the hands of the higher-ups, so don't the children of aristocratic families have a natural advantage, while those hardworking common students can't get recommendation votes? Isn't that unfair?"

Upon hearing Mo Xie's sharp words, Zu Xingyi was at a loss for words. He shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly.

"Xiao Xie, this world is just that cruel. The National Team is basically full of scions of aristocratic families. Grassroots mages simply can't squeeze in. There may be a few so far, but they are extremely rare."

"After all, not everyone can be as monstrous as you."

Mo Xie lowered her eyes, sighed inwardly, and fell into deep thought.

Ultimately, the National University team is nothing more than a youth team, and the competition among world universities is merely a platform for clans and families to showcase their strength and let the world see how powerful their people are.

No one could have imagined that the turning point in life... would actually be the amniotic fluid! (End of Chapter)
