I rely on myself

Chapter 8 Seven Star Sword Dance Festival

Soon the three of them arrived in front of a classroom, where they saw students who had arrived early already, gathered in groups of three or five, each in their own small group, talking to each other.

"Then let's say goodbye here. I have to go back to my classroom. Goodbye."

After they parted, Lin Yuan continued to move forward, and soon bursts of cheers came from the classroom behind him.

After a while, Lin Yuan also came to his classroom and looked up at the doorplate, which read "Class 1, Grade 2".

"It seems this is the right place."

When he walked into the classroom, although some people noticed Lin Yuan, they just glanced at him and didn't pay much attention to him. This was understandable. After all, although Lin Yuan had friends in this class, he was not a striking person either.

After saying hello to a few familiar classmates, Lin Yuan sat in his seat and waited for class to start.

At this time, a petite girl who was only 1.5 meters tall came in front of Lin Yuan.

Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Yuan secretly thought that trouble was coming.

"Lin Yuan, I heard that you went to the infirmary yesterday, right? What happened?" The petite girl asked bluntly as soon as she came up.

The person who came was the class monitor, Qianxia Qianyin. Because of her petite and cute body and responsible personality, she was very popular in the class. She was even regarded as a mascot by the students in the class and had a cute nickname like "Qianyin-chan". Of course, she herself was very resistant to this nickname.

At the same time, she is Lin Yuan's childhood sweetheart in this world. They grew up together and she is one of the few people who knows Lin Yuan's hidden strength. So she was very surprised that Lin Yuan entered the infirmary, and she was also worried about Lin Yuan's condition.

That's why he couldn't wait to go up and ask as soon as Lin Yuan arrived in the classroom and sat down.

Although he looked very calm on the surface, his eyes revealed deep worry that could not be hidden.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to smile and said, "Okay, don't worry too much. I was just accidentally injured. I've recovered a long time ago. You also know my situation, don't you, Qianyin-chan?"

"Haven't I told you many times not to call me like that?" Qianyin said angrily.

After hearing this, Qianyin realized that it was impossible for her to get the details from Lin Yuan. Although she wanted to continue asking, the class was about to end, so Qianyin had to glare at Lin Yuan and returned to her seat.

Looking at Qianyin leaving, Lin Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But even if we can handle it successfully this time, I'm afraid she will continue to ask questions next time. So how come she, who was so cute when she was little, has become so stubborn now?"

Soon it was time for class and the students in the classroom returned to their seats. At the same time, a middle-aged male teacher came to the classroom.

He said, "My name is Long Yueying. I will be your homeroom teacher for Class 1, Grade 2 for the next year. You can come to me if you have any questions."

"Well, without further ado, let's get straight to the point. The first thing we'll talk about is the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival."

————〈Seven Star Sword Dance Festival〉. It is a martial arts festival held once a year in this country, jointly held by the seven knight academies in Japan. It is a competition to select the strongest student knights. It also affects the status and ranking of the seven academies to a certain extent. For the seven knight academies, it is the most important event of the year.

In recent years, Pojun Academy's performance in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival has been getting worse and worse. The best result they achieved was last year, but they were only in the top four and had no chance of winning the championship, runner-up, or even third place.

A student knight who can win the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival is not only the strongest student knight of the time, but will also naturally be highly valued by the Alliance, and his future is bright.

Therefore, the strongest student knight who dominates the "Seven Star Sword Dance Festival" will be given a unique title - "Seven Star Sword King".

"And this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival can be said to be a gathering of strong people." Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but reveal a smile full of fighting spirit on his face.

The other students in the class were visibly cheered up when they heard this.

Long Yueying didn't feel surprised when she saw this scene and continued, "I believe everyone knows that the so-called Seven Star Sword Festival refers to the annual competition held by the seven knight academies in our country. Its purpose is to select the strongest student knight of the year. The seven knight academies will also be ranked according to the results of this competition. Therefore, this competition is the most important event of the year for the seven knight academies. Every year, it will be promoted and prepared on the first day of the new semester. This year is the same. Although you have all experienced it, I still want to emphasize it here again."

Because they had experienced this once before, the students in the class recovered quickly.

"Since the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival is a nationally renowned competition, it will not only be broadcast and reported nationwide, but it will also enjoy a certain degree of popularity abroad. So if you can participate in such a grand event, no matter what results you get, it will be of great help to your future."

"Okay, next is the rules for this year's Seven Star Sword Festival. Due to the change of the chairman, the selection criteria for our Pojun Academy have also changed this year."

In principle, the annual "Seven Stars Sword Festival" is a competition in which the seven knight academies select the best student knights in the school as representatives, go to the designated stage, and compete.

Before the competition begins, each of the seven knight academies will select six contestants from their respective academy students to participate in the competition as representatives.

However, the way different schools select their representative players is different.

Some of them use the academic performance in the academy as the criterion to select the six best students.

Some use actual combat results as the standard to select the most valiant and skilled student knights.

Others make strategic selections, picking out students who can be applied on the playing field.

Before the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival began, each university campus selected its representative contestants in its own way, and finally decided on six contestants, a total of 42 students, who would compete in the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival to determine the winner.

The same goes for Pojun Academy. Before the Seven Star Sword Festival begins, six contestants must be decided to participate.

Last year, due to the policy of the former chairman, the representative contestants of Pojun Academy were selected based on their ability scores.

In other words, all of last year's contestants had the highest abilities in Pojun Academy, but nothing else was considered except their abilities.

This method is undoubtedly a high wall that is difficult to cross for people with low ability values ​​but strong practical ability.
