Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 112 opens! Seeded player Jia Xiu makes a brilliant appearance

The best way to deal with embarrassment is to pretend you don't know.

Hard when it doesn't exist.

Is there an elephant in the room? You can’t see it, and even if you can, you still say you can’t see it!

One day, Jia Xiu went to work and wore his short-sleeved shirt inside out. But as long as he pretended that it was not worn inside out, his colleagues would start to wonder if it was some new fashion trend.

Wearing pants without pulling them up has become a fashion trend, while wearing clothes inside out is completely normal.

And Margaret seems to have mastered this technique.

After passing through the room and giving a magical high five, he reappeared as if nothing had happened, except that he had changed his clothes.

As one of the leading teachers, I directed the students to complete the rehearsal very smoothly.

Rehearsals were nothing fun.

The contestants from five colleges entered the venue, and then watched the elf dance troupe perform on the stage. It was said that there would be magical fireworks, but they were not set off during the rehearsal.

However, after the rehearsal, the head coach of Santero came to find Jia Xiu.

"I forgot one thing. Because this year marks the 500th anniversary of the competition, the organizing committee proposed adding a tradition of each school holding a flag. The flags will have their historical achievements printed on them. Five champions will have a star, and fifty champions will have a trophy. So we need a flag bearer."

Jia Xiu really wanted to know, was this new rule really not set for Saint-Dero?

Others have one or two trophies and a lot of stars, but there is only one star on the flag of Santo Roma, and it is almost not enough.

The team leader continued, "We have decided that you will be the flag bearer."

"No need for that. Aren't there many seniors here? They are definitely more qualified than me to be the flag bearer."

Jia Xiu’s emotional intelligence segment.

"You don't have to refuse, Jia Xiu. After all, you are the one with the greatest hope of winning the championship, so you should be the flag bearer."

"Does the school think so?"

"No, we looked at the odds, and you have the lowest odds in our academy." The team leader said very honestly.

Jia Xiu now seriously suspects that normal people are a minority in this school.

Should something like looking at the odds come from the mouth of an academy leader?

But having said that, Jia Xiu was very curious.

"What are my odds?"

"You're ninth, 80-to-1. You're the only one from our academy in the top ten. Ahead of you are three from Uckermark and Holy Light Theology, plus two elves. As a first-year, it's impressive that you're ninth. And you're one place higher than the one from Vita Sage Academy, hehe."

Hehe, this is too abstract. No matter what the ranking is, as long as it is higher than the "rival in the same city", it is worth being happy, right?

Mentioning the odds, the team leader became excited. "If you want to bet, well, no, we don't allow betting on the participating competitors, but you can have your close friends do. I suggest betting on the second-place player from the Uckermark Empire. Even though he might not be as good as the first-place Saint on paper, the Uckermarks are incredibly fierce competitors. And I hear he's a relative of the director of some alchemy institute, and he's been trained in military training since he was a child."

Hearing this, Jia Xiu remembered that the person Staudinger asked him to educate his nephew with harsh measures was probably this person.

The director thought highly of him and asked him to educate the second-best student.

Speaking of Staudinger.

Jia Xiu checked the progress of the school's cooperation project.

[Current progress of Bionicle: 12%]

[The Uckermark team analyzed the biological hormones of the shark lizard and successfully achieved secondary enhancement for Arnold]

The efficiency is quite high. It hasn't been long and we have already reached 12%.

After reviewing the cooperative projects, the team leader continued to talk about his various analyses of the players' situations.

Jia Xiu had no choice but to interrupt: "Teacher, where is our flag? I need to know how to raise it first."

"Oh, yes," the team leader pulled out a red flag with a gold border from his bag. It had the St. Teresa school emblem and an awkward star on it. "This is it. We'll put it on a flagpole. You just hold it upright."

Jia Xiu looked at it.

How should I put it? It feels like if you accidentally lose the flag, you have to play a weird lottery game where you pick one person out of ten and kill him.

"Relax, don't be nervous," the team leader patted Jia Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Just walk freely in the front. There's no room for our team to fall back anyway..."

……

The next day, at the Chiba Dome Arena, a huge arena in the Holy Land of Elves that could accommodate 50,000 spectators.

It is the venue for many competitive spell duels and the opening ceremony of the Big Five Tournament.

The biggest feature of this venue is the dome composed of countless branches and leaves.

They are all living plants, controlled by druids. They can be folded up to let in the sunlight, and unfolded to provide shelter when it rains.

The weather was good on the opening day and the venue was filled with 50,000 spectators.

The competition among these five schools is quite well-known in mainland China.

Oftentimes, they are even more popular than matches between professional duelists.

Because professional duel competitions involve too many interests.

The competition among students is much purer, with only a sense of honor and countless grudges.

So maybe their competitive level may not be as good as that of professional players, but their attitude towards the game is often better and more exciting to watch.

The commentator for the opening ceremony and subsequent competitions is a highly experienced elf magic competition commentator in the city, who has three hundred years of experience in the industry.

And his partner, the famous dwarf commentator.

Yes, dwarven commentary.

In order to cater to the theme of unity among all nations and races under the threat of demons, putting aside grudges and working together, the organizer of this competition, the Silvermoon Court of the Elf Spellcaster Academy, specially found a dwarf commentator.

To show that the elves and dwarves are not as hostile to each other as rumored.

The starting point is not good or bad.

The final effect is very deliberate.

Because the elves had previously heavily publicized the fact that they had invited the dwarves to explain the event, and were afraid that some people might not know about it, they tried very hard to prove that the elves and dwarves could have a harmonious relationship.

But everyone could see that the reason they were trying so hard to prove it was because the relationship wasn't harmonious...

There was no tacit understanding between the two commentators, and in the end they could only make a decision: when intensive commentary was needed, the dwarf would come, and when professional comments were needed, the elf would come, and neither of them would interrupt the other.

At this moment, the participating students from the five schools entered the venue, and the dwarf commentator spoke quickly but clearly.

"Now approaching us is the Uckermark Royal School of Spellcasters' team. What a beautiful team! They march in perfect unison, like precision machinery. They have 37 students participating in the competition this time, and the one attracting the most attention is, of course, their flag bearer, Justus Staudinger..."

"Following them were the students from the Saint-Delo Spellcaster Academy. Um, they walked freely and casually, reflecting Saint-Delo's fine academic spirit of pursuing innovation..."

A mature commentator should know how to praise without words. Even if the students of Santero are walking around like they are on an outing, he can still write a commentary.

"And their standard-bearer is..."

At this moment, the dwarf commentator saw someone he could never forget.

Jia Xiu.

The terrifying student who brought him the most shameful performance in his commentary career, the spell used by an unrecognizable terrifying sorcerer, was the core reason why he was infamous in the commentary of the San Dero entrance examination.

Bad memories flooded his mind, making him forget what to say for a moment.

Oh no, Jia Xiu is here, are the other two coming too?

This flag bearer was not at yesterday’s rehearsal!

It's a conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy.

The dwarf never hesitated to assume the worst of the elves. Why would this pointy-eared elf give the talkative task to him? It turned out that he was waiting here.

Despicable, so despicable!

Chapter 113 The most unbearable episode for animal protection organizations

Jia Xiu, standing in the arena leaning against the flagpole, felt that something was wrong with the commentary.

Ever since Sandro entered the scene, one of the commentators sounded angry.

Any opinions about Santello?

You can't possibly have something against him.

It's impossible. He is just an ordinary student. Who would pay attention to him?

Maybe the two commentators were fighting and competing with each other.

I heard that they hired a dwarf and an elf as commentators. In the end, they wanted to create the main theme but failed, and instead created a new genre of quarrel commentary.

As for the rest of the opening ceremony, it looked okay. Jia Xiu didn't have much attainments in aesthetics. It was too elegant and professional for him to appreciate.

So I didn't quite understand the elves' performance, but the magic fireworks were pretty good. The crimson fireworks turned into a giant flaming dragon, flying over the arena.

The opening ceremony was very brief, without even a lengthy speech, which was very different from other student sports meets that Jia Xiu had participated in.

The highlight of today is not the opening ceremony, but the first round of the official competition that begins in the arena right after the opening ceremony.

According to the tradition of the competition, there will be a total of five rounds of competition. The specific content of each round will be handled by a college, and the design of the host college will serve as the final deciding round.

The purpose of the first four rounds is to eliminate those contestants who come to join in the fun, of course, mainly the students of San Dero who come for fun.

The players who pass will be ranked, and the ranking will determine the advantage they can gain in the final round.

It is a bit like racing, with a qualifying round first, and the results of the qualifying round will determine the pole position for the final, except that this qualifying round also has the function of eliminating some people.

The reason for this regulation is to ensure the viewing experience.

The host college plays at home, and they can design the final round of the competition to ensure that it is detailed enough and the scene is grand enough.

Leave the suspense of victory to the last round. Although the advantage brought by the ranking is useful, the final victory or defeat still depends on performance and hard power.

There is no way. Although it is a competition organized between colleges, funding issues still need to be considered.

Funding mainly comes from sponsorship, and sponsors need the audience to love watching the game.

The dean of the Elven Silvermoon Court Academy took the stage and gave a speech that lasted less than two minutes. Then he said, "Next, I would like to invite Professor Stanley from the Uckermark Royal Spellcaster Academy to announce the details of the first round of the competition."

This professor also looks like an extreme Frankenstein in literary works.
