Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 272 Zhao Manyan's Appearance

Because of the small size of the country, the Busan Pavilion is located on Busan Tower, which is not far from the coastline.

The Busan Tower has a unique design; the entire tower is made of white rock, stands 120 meters tall, and its top flares outwards.

It looks a bit like an upside-down helmet.

The Busan Tower is a landmark building in Busan. After learning the location of the Busan National Pavilion from good citizens of Busan, Lin Chen and his group saw the tower from a distance.

"This guy's aesthetic is really unique. What's so great about this one odd little pillar? And it can't even be a landmark building, unlike those towers in our country, which are majestic and magnificent," Lin Chen couldn't help but complain.

"What can South Korea have? It's just a tiny island nation that always boasts about its immense power and always tries to steal our cultural heritage." Jiang Yu pursed his lips, clearly not having a good impression of South Korea.

"Yeah, it's one thing for them to be bad at everything, but they always like to say they're number one in everything. I remember they ranked the top ten Asian players a while ago, and the number one was their own country's player, something like Chen." Lu Yilin said, trying to quickly integrate into the national team.

Take the initiative to start a conversation.

"Let's call him Yi Sun-sin," Zhao Manyan suggested.

"Yes, yes, that's it." Lu Yilin responded, "In the end, this guy only has the qualification to take orders outside our tent."

"A young talent, yet he boasts about being the number one master in Asia, that's quite impressive," Jiang Shaoxu said. "However, I didn't expect Zhao Manyan to be so cultured, knowing this."

"Isn't it written here? Chinese and Korean translation." Zhao Manyan pointed to a stone tablet in front of him, which introduced the life and deeds of Yi Sun-sin. There was also a statue not far ahead.

"Alright, enough of that. Let's hurry up and try to set off again tonight." Ai Jiangtu didn't seem too keen on Bangbang Country either, and immediately led everyone towards Busan Tower.

When Lin Chen and his group arrived at the entrance of the Busan National Hall, they saw four or five beautiful young girls in school uniforms walking out of the hall with bright smiles.

"The girls in South Korea are so pretty. If we had extra time today, I'd arrange everything for them. By the way, which one do you like?"

"I'll get everything arranged for you!" Zhao Manyan squeezed next to Lin Chen and winked at him.

Before Lin Chen could say anything, a cold snort came from the side, and then Jiang Shaoxu squeezed in from behind, separating Lin Chen and Zhao Manyan.

Zhao Manyan glanced back and forth between Jiang Shaoxu and Lin Chen, then sighed at Lin Chen.

It's pathetic that something like this is being controlled so tightly before it's even begun.

The girl who came out of the Busan Tower National Pavilion also noticed Lin Chen and his group, and immediately quickened her pace to walk towards them: "This is the Busan National Pavilion. Are you members of the national teams of other countries?"

"We are the National Team of China, here to challenge you." Jiang Shaoxu took a step forward and spoke in fluent Bangzi.

"Wait a moment, we'll notify our advisor right away," a pretty young woman said, turning and running into the building.

A moment later, a middle-aged porter came out of the Busan National Hall: "Welcome everyone to the Busan National Hall. I am an instructor here."

"Li Zaiqian, you've come from afar, would you like me to arrange for you to rest first?"

"No need, just arrange the competition directly, we're in a hurry." After listening to Jiang Shaoxu's translation, Ai Jiangtu shook his head and said, "Alright then, I'll arrange the competition venue for you right away." After Li Zaiqian finished speaking, he asked the staff of the National Pavilion to take Lin Chen and the others to rest for a while, while he himself walked towards the depths of the National Pavilion.

Before Lin Chen and his group had to wait long, the staff of the Busan National Hall invited them to the challenge venue again.

Perhaps because of the small size of Bangbang Country, the arena inside is not very big, only about the size of two basketball courts. This size of venue is far too cramped for the members of the National Team who are now high-level mages.

The members of the National Team were not even capable of casting high-level spells; a few mid-level spells were enough to cover the entire arena, making it almost like close-quarters combat.

I don't know if Bangbang's defensive formation is reliable. If it's not, I estimate that the entire National Pavilion would be involved in the battle.

At this moment, on the other side of the arena, more than a dozen members of the national team from the Bangbang Kingdom were already prepared to welcome the challenger.

Just as Lin Chen and the others thought Bangbang was going to have a best-of-five singles match or a five-on-five team match, Bangbang's mentor announced the challenge mode: the two pairs would have a 1-on-1 match, and whoever won would win in one game.

And when the mentor from Bangbang Country finished announcing the competition rules, the staff member guarding the venue from Bangbang Country also stepped forward. He was a young man wearing a Bangbang Country school uniform.

"The fact that Bangbang Country chose the 1v1 format means they must be very confident, otherwise they wouldn't have made this choice," Jiang Yu said.

"That's for sure, but we're not afraid of them. The question is, which of you five wants to go on stage?" Ai Jiangtu said to the five members who had been pre-selected.

"This venue is too small; I can't utilize my strengths," Guan Yu said.

"That's right, me too. This space is too small to last long enough for my magic to complete," Zujiming said.

"With such a small venue, I reckon the kid going on stage is a violent mage, and he definitely has plenty of magic tools. In this cramped space, with his magic barrage and the external defensive array, everyone inside will be sitting ducks," Lin Chen guessed.

"It's very likely. The Koreans don't really have any competitive spirit. They've done plenty of shady things in international competitions held in their own country. This is probably some kind of arrangement made specifically for them." Jiang Yu nodded.

"Then who's going to go? If none of you are going, am I supposed to go?" Zhao Manyan asked, leaning closer.

Upon hearing this, all eyes on Zhao Manyan fell upon him. After a moment of silence, they all nodded in satisfaction. "Holy crap! It's the real me!" Zhao Manyan pointed to himself, his face full of disbelief, and said, "I'm a defensive mage! If you guys don't cooperate with me, how am I supposed to play? Just stand there and get beaten up?! I'm not going!"

"Who said you were a defensive mage? Don't you know an offensive spell—Radiant Blindness?" Nan Jue said, recalling Zhao Manyan's actions in Donghai City.

"You're letting me go, aren't you afraid I'll lose?" Zhao Manyan said indignantly. He wasn't afraid of a 2v2 match, but he really wasn't confident in a 1v1. He couldn't just stand there and let others beat him until he was exhausted.

"Even the Bangbang National Team can't beat the Sakura National Team, so their National Team shouldn't be too difficult to deal with. If you can't even beat them, there's no need for you to continue participating in the National Team Tournament," Ai Jiangtu said.

"Let's send him out!" Ai Jiangtu said, pointing at Zhao Manyan.
