"Mr. Duke. You are welcome to come and visit."
"You're welcome. It must be very hard for the principal to prepare so many things."
"It's not hard. Everything is for the kingdom—"
However, Duke Boyle just raised his hand slightly, signaling the principal to stop talking.
McPherson quickly realized his gaffe.
Only then did he realize the generous man beside Prime Minister Boyle.
Boyle introduced: "This is the Imperial Minister, Mr. Rudolf Donahue, whom I mentioned to you before."
McPherson was startled and lowered his head in a hurry:
"Mr. Rudolf, I'm sorry. I heard that you were coming to visit the Military University, but I was busy with work and couldn't receive you in person. It's a pity."
Rudolph just laughed, and didn't seem to be unhappy at all. Instead, he waved his hand politely.
Several people also greeted each other one by one.
"Is everyone here?"
Duke Boyle looked around the conference hall and silently counted the people in his mind.
——The Prime Minister and Minister of War of the Kingdom, Mr. Duke of Boyle.
—— Imperial Foreign Minister, Mr. Rudolf Donahue.
——Imperial envoy, Ms. Carlisle.
——Mr. Bright, a senior technician in the Imperial Magic Research Department.
——Mr. Ferguson Colby, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom.
—— Mr. Gardner Duru, Chairman of the Kingdom’s Military Strategic Planning Council.
——Mr. Babbitt, Chairman of the Kingdom’s Military Magic Technology Development Planning Committee.
——The Kingdom’s Minister of Magical Technology, Mr. Maren Bartlett.
——Ms. Hercules Esther, Deputy Chief of Royal Advisors.
—Mr. MacPherson, Royal Counsellor and President of the Military College.
"Already, Mr. Prime Minister."
--Mr. Maurice Windle, Honorary Royal Counselor and Interim Director of the Department of Modification at the Military University.
Morris was also counting the people and responding to Duke Boyle's words:
"——These people are all that can come."
……
"Well, I can't tie it tight no matter what I do... Coco, can you help me..."
Sharp over there was wrapping a red ribbon around his arm, but he couldn't seem to tie it properly due to his limited ability. It fell off once when the principal was giving a speech, once when the referee was taking the oath, and once when the audience cheered at the end of the game... This was already the fourth time.
Coco was speechless. She roughly pulled the ribbon and tied a tight knot around Sharp's arm.
"Keke... this way you won't be unable to take it off..."
"Who cares about you?" Coco yawned.
Next to the two little lolis, Lily sat on the edge of the stairs, swinging her legs.
When Lily got tired of looking at the two of them, she raised her head and looked at the blue sky.
Actually, Lily doesn't like sunlight.
If Lily hadn't been taking care of Coco who was about to go on stage, she would have turned around and buried herself in the quilt in the room and gone back to sleep.
It was just that the little orc was so energetic early in the morning that he shook Lily violently to wake her up.
I even doubted whether Coco was enjoying the process.
"what are you looking."
Lily listened to the sound and felt the little orc waving his hand in front of her face.
The sunlight is shining on my face.
"Ouch, are we going to go on stage?"
"One more moment."
Coco sat next to Lily. After a while, Sharp came over, fiddling with the ribbon on his arm.
"Students participating in the competition, please gather at the designated location and wait! The preliminaries will begin soon!... For those in the first batch, please report directly to the preparation area!" A voice came from the other side.
"Ouch, come on."
"Ah."
Coco stood up and jumped a bit, hesitated for a while, and turned back:
"Here, wait for me."
"Ah."
"Promise not to abandon me."
"Ah."
After getting a positive answer from Lily, Coco glanced at Sharp.
Sharp immediately trotted forward and followed Coco.
……
"The rules of the preliminaries are as follows—"
"There are 1000 punctuation marks hidden or hanging in the teaching area of the Military University. The punctuation marks are in a closed state, and will light up when subjected to a certain intensity of magic attack. Contestants need to find these punctuation marks and shoot accurately. When they light up, they score. After the time is up, everyone's score will be counted and ranked. Only the top 10 in each group will be qualified to enter."
"Please note that you cannot attack again after the mark lights up. Please also control the intensity of the attack to prevent damage to the equipment, otherwise no points will be counted. Contestants are prohibited from attacking each other, otherwise they will be disqualified."
"I wish you all a happy time."
Coco and Sharp tilted their heads back and listened to the rules.
There are 1000 points in the entire venue for these 70 people to compete for. They cannot be lit up repeatedly, which means that only one person can score on one point.
In addition to the free-scoring punctuation marks that are clearly displayed on the roadside and the hard-to-hit punctuation marks that are hung high on the roof, there are also many punctuation marks that are hidden very secretly with the purpose of not being found.
The competition area is as wide as half of the military university teaching area, but no one is allowed to go upstairs. The requirement of 70 people entering 10 people is not harsh if it is Coco alone, but it is another matter for Sharp to take care of his teammates.
Being proactive is important, but being able to detect is equally important.
127. Fight in the Qualifying Round
But for Coco, these are not worth worrying about.
The two looked around at the contestants.
Everyone in the group is of similar age, and there are even several classmates mixed in.
Sharp visibly flinched and moved closer to Coco.
But Coco didn't seem to care - but perhaps she felt much more disgusted than Sharp did.
"You guys are here to compete too?"
It was a sound that made Coco feel very uncomfortable.
This has always been the sound that makes Coco most unhappy.
The owner of the voice, Eler, pointed at the two with disdain on his face and said:
"It's not too late to give up now - otherwise. I will do my best to make you leave the field."
"Yeah, yeah... I advise you not to fight with us!" Eller was naturally surrounded by other boys: "Otherwise, you won't even get to eat soup!"
"Why... do you always bother us?" Sharp was very angry and glared at the boys.
However, when their eyes met, Sharp couldn't help but shrink back.
Coco was too lazy to reply and just pulled Sharp back intentionally or unintentionally.
"You look down on us?" The boy was still shouting: "If you have the guts, come and compete!"
"Look who is number one in the class!"
"If you lose, you will withdraw from the competition!"
"It's noisy."
Coco's patience is almost at its limit.
"Whatever games you want to play, just play them by yourselves! ... Or have you not been taught a lesson enough?"
Coco's resentment was strong enough from the beginning.
This made me feel even worse.
She raised her little fist - and when she saw those boys, she unconsciously took a step back.
Coco couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Eller frowned:
"I think you should stop at that..."
"Everyone, get ready! Everyone, get to your designated positions!" A voice came from the loudspeaker over there: "The preliminaries are about to begin! Everyone in Group 3, please..."
Coco immediately turned around and left, and Sharp trotted after her.
Coco had experienced being targeted by several people many times.
"It's just some childish provocations from kids." Coco muttered disdainfully.
In fact, Coco can understand those people a little bit.
Perhaps not long ago, Coco had done something similar to a black-haired little girl, which made both of them feel very uncomfortable.
