The Academy will hold a competition each winter between all majors according to tradition. Winners will get big prizes, and this is used to spur students to study harder.
This was the time when the Academy was at its most crowded as majors competed not only for the prizes, but also for their main faces and teachers. Even the future of their teacher was tightly tied to this battle.
Because of this, all majors would send their strongest students at this time each year to take part in the battle. This was both for the benefit of the students themselves, and for the face and future status of the teachers in the Academy.
The major and the dark major have always been hated enemies. The open conflict and the veiled struggle between the two majors has been going on for years. The battle between the dark and light major is to determine who will win the title of the strongest major. This is why it attracts many observers.
A huge magic shield had covered the entire square, allowing the warriors to fight with their hearts content without causing any injuries to anyone. There were five participants from the dark and light majors, and a good performance was being put on stage.
Han Shuo's gaze wandered, finally leaning on Fanny, who was sitting in the back corner of the row of teachers sitting on the front stage. Their share was brought up, and teachers of all majors sat there. The Dean also sat there very gracefully. It seemed like everyone was paying great attention to the demonstration this time around.
“Is there anyone from the main part of our necromancy in the team?” Han Shuo started after Lisa explained the situation, and opened her mouth to ask her.
Shaking her head, Lisa said, “Our necromancy department is a branch of the dark major. The great dark teachers and disciples were so afraid that we would become a burden to them, that they did not count us for the demonstration this time at all. Because of this, only students from dark majors are involved from start to finish, and have nothing to do with our necromancy major. ”
“So so. Who do you think will win between the light and dark majors this time around? ”Han Shuo stared at the two groups inside the square and asked carelessly.
“Not sure. Dark and light majors have always been the two strongest majors within the Academy. After so many years, both majors have traded the strongest major degrees back and forth. No major can win in a row. Major dark won last year, but the captain who led the team last year has passed, while the bright major is still here. I think the major is dark in some trouble right now. “Lisa fixed her gaze on the situation inside the square and explained to Han Shuo.
“Ai, it's a pity that it has nothing to do with our necromancy major. After all these years, the dark major always directly counts us. Although Master Fanny and Gene tried quite hard, because of this, their standing within the Academy continued to decline. See, Mr. Fanny could only sit in the last row, and Mr. Gene did not even dare to show his face because he was afraid that people would laugh at him. Our necromancy major completely failed. ”Amy shook his head and spoke sadly with a woebegone expression.
“This also can't help. The beings that our necromancy great students can summon are weak to light magic. Without the help of summoned creatures, it was extremely difficult for necromancy magicians to gain an edge from light magic attacks. This is why Mr. Fanny can only resignedly accept arrangements from the dark major and not ask us to join the battle. If we do, we will only make life harder for ourselves, “Athena is just as sad when she follows up on Amy's words.
It was not smooth and unhindered inside the square, but all sorts of artificial mountains and fake trees had been placed, as well as many jagged and uneven trenches. The school authorities want the students to get used to the real environmental situation, and thus make the battleground quite complicated.
At this moment, five students from each major made use of fake trees and strange stones to hide their bodies inside the square. They would appear and attack each other occasionally, then utilize the terrain to retreat or regroup with their teammates. The enormous magical shield protecting the square also made the light blurry and dim. It seems like it was a conscious decision to create this effect, to make it easier for the team to work together.
The two sides investigated each other when one member of the dark major suddenly grabbed her stomach and fell down. Cold sweat drenched his forehead as his face ran out of color.
The expression on Deo's large majestic-faced face changed drastically when he saw the situation develop and he immediately spoke to Dean Emma, “Dean, Phillide seemed to be feeling unwell. I want to stop the fighting and see what happens. ”
The space magus Emma also looked at the fallen Phillide in surprise. He seemed to be at a loss as to why he had suddenly fallen when the actual fight had yet to take place. When he heard Deo's words, he nodded and said, “Stop, let's see what's wrong with Phillide?”
Emma then waved her hand and a gigantic magic shield suddenly lit up. The other big dark disciples help the sad Phillide to Deo. Dark main archmage Deo and several dark master teachers examine Phillide, with Deo finally speaking to Emma with a dark face, “Dean, Phillide eats some food that he should not have eaten. I don't think he can participate at this time. ”
“Yeah! What the hell is going on? Phillide was about to graduate and was someone who would become proficient in the dark majors. He is also the current team leader and the strongest. If he was suddenly unable to participate, then the dark major had even less chance this time, “Athena spoke worriedly when she saw Phillide pale.
Sara nodded and spoke, “Indeed. Keelung from the headlights on the other hand was the captain of the headlight team last year. It is said that he already has the power of a proficient magician, but deliberately delayed the timing of his progress due to this year's competition. With Phillide present, they would be equally, but now that this had happened, it seemed like the dark major was completely hopeless. ”
Han Shuo, with his sensitive hearing, was able to clearly hear Emma and Deo talk. Due to Phllide's health problems, Deo attempts to convince Emma to postpone this year's battle for a few days, but Emma refuses Deo's request based on Academy rules. He only agrees to allow Deo to exchange with other dark big students on Phillide's behalf.
Deo has a face full of anger when he argues with Emma, saying that this is a conspiracy and she demands Emma to change the day of the demonstration.
It was a pity that Archmage Deo was just a dark master teacher in the end, and certainly no more important than the rules of the Academy.
Unable to convince Emma, Deo said angrily, “Because this is the case, then we are not competing. Let someone else say what they will do this time! ”
“Tuan Deo, please remember your status. Although the accident has happened, I hope you have not thought of changing the tradition of the Academy. Please find a replacement for this year's demonstration and let's look through. “Emma, usually kind-hearted and kind-hearted, was clearly a bit irritated when she spoke grimly to Deo.
Thinking a little with a dark face, Deo turned to look at Fanny, who sat in the corner and spoke, “Master Fanny, major necromancy has never been part of a battle after so many years. I think it's time for major necromancy to send someone. Please find someone to fill Phillide's position so the battle can continue. ”
Originally sitting in the back row expressionlessly watching everything, Fanny suddenly started when she heard Deo's words. He immediately recalled himself as anger filled his face, “Master Deo, what do you mean by this?”
Anyone can see that Deo was deliberately talking to Fanny when he found out that he had no way of winning after Phillide had given up.
Even if they lost, those in the know could tell that Deo's actions were entirely due to his bad temper. In any case, major necromancy is known to be weak. Deo could ask anyone other than the necromancy major to fill the place. His actions were a striking blow at the major necromancy, and could even be interpreted as an insult to the major.
“Mr Fanny, as a dark major member, you sometimes still need to try, don't you?” The other dark master teacher, who was at the side, naturally understood Deo's intentions and spoke after thinking for a moment .
The teachers next to Fanny watched him with delighted expressions of his misery, and some also showed expressions of pity. However, major necromancy was notoriously weak, and no one revealed anything. The expression of watching a good show wins more than nothing.
“When do you usually think of our necromancy major? You think of us when you need someone to act as a scapegoat, I guess not! ”Fanny already has no face without the participating necromancy students, and she just hopes the fight will end as soon as possible, so as not to suffer through the ridicule and sympathetic gazes of others. Who would have known that he would be so humiliated by Deo at the end? This immediately aroused his anger.
Fanny is someone who is gentle on the outside and tough on the inside, about this Han Shou realized. Under normal circumstances, Fanny always greeted others with a smiling face and would not cause conflict with others, but once someone stepped over her bottom line, Fanny would also fight back with all her strength. It was clear that Deo had overstepped Fanny's bottom line this time around.
The conversation of the teachers on stage could not be done here, so Lisa and the others stood there with puzzled gazes, not knowing why Fanny had suddenly stood up. When Han Shuo conveyed what had happened with his dark face, they were all furious as they cursed at Deo's contempt.
A strong body is useful at times like these. He pushed everyone who was blocking the way, and walked towards the main stage amidst the bustle of student curses. Suddenly he raised his voice, “Master Fanny, I want to fight on behalf of Phillide. I hope you agree. ”
Han Shuo could no longer hold back the anger within him when he saw Fanny being insulted. He shouted loudly with a serious expression, his voice rang out loud like a bell and walked far to the stage.
The square immediately went silent without a sound as a huge fanfare immediately exploded after. Everyone's gazes were focused on Han Shuo and they were all full of excitement and curiosity, all wanting to know what was going on.
“Who is that kid? He's got guts! ”
“Huh, too confident. Even Phillide knew that he was no match for our major and pretended to be sick and backed off. No one invites humiliation! ”
“Eh, isn't that our major, Bryan? When did he come back? ”
A commotion instantly struck the scene as all the students and teachers patrolled with inquisitive gazes over Han Shuo's body. They even started asking the people around them what Han Shuo's background was.
Fanny was stunned to see Han Shuo appear. Her clear eyes sparkled as a sweet smile appeared on her angry face. He spoke softly to Han Shuo, “Forget it .. Can't you see someone deliberately using us as scapegoats?”
Nodding his head, Han Shuo looked at Deo, who was busy pretending nothing out of the ordinary. He spoke to Fanny, “I know, but I still want to try. Our necromancy major has been silent for so long that it's time we took our place in the limelight again. ”
This demonstration will affect the position of all teachers in the future. As a necromancy teacher, Fanny was founded by someone like Deo. Han Shuo would naturally not let something like this continue to happen.
Some kind of message seemed to be conveyed from Han Shuo's stern gaze. Fanny looked at him stupidly for a few seconds before finally nodding. He spoke to Deo, “Alright, I agree to your request. He will act as Phillide's replacement. ”
Han Shuo's identity was quickly revealed from the necromancy student's mouth. His life as a task slave for his experience in the Dark Forest quickly made their way into the ears of all the teachers and students present.
When the excited news from the old witch Camilla saw Fanny and Han Shuo spending the night together and Han Shuo on Fanny's bed came out, this filled the minds of everyone present with endless imagination. This caused the sounds of discussion to become louder and louder as people's gazes sharpened and grew with enthusiasm.
“Then it is settled, he will replace Phillide and immediately join the battle against the light major. Mm, he just got on stage for the show. It will end quickly and will not waste much time, “Deo nodded and said to Fanny.
