The so-called Nine Schools Battle was not much different from many online arena competitions. It was a competition held between the First High School and the Ninth High School of the National University of Magic. Each school was divided into men's and women's groups, and they would participate in different types of competitions. The school with the highest total score would win. In short, it was a large-scale inter-school sports festival.
Similar to the settings on the Internet, there would usually be many senior officials and high-level people in the magic world at this kind of competition. On the one hand, they were there to enjoy the competition, and on the other hand, they were there to collect talents.
Similarly, this was the best stage to showcase magic. For example, if someone showed a new magic spell during the Nine Schools Battle, then the relevant personnel would immediately ask if they wanted to join the INDEX. Normally, even if one applied to join the INDEX, they would have to go through a lot of tedious procedures. However, in the Nine Schools Battle, these rules were waived, and everything was based on the final goal.
If Fangzheng wanted to show off his flying magic, the best way was naturally to show it in the Nine Schools Battle. This way, he would immediately become famous and be known by everyone.
In fact, Kitashan Xiu's father had the same idea. There was no better advertising opportunity than the Nine Schools Battle. If he could show off the strength of the Hoverboard during the Nine Schools Battle, then basically all the advertisements could be dispensed with.
Naturally, Fangzheng also wanted to participate in the Nine Schools Battle. Of course, the reason why he wanted to participate was not to win glory for his school or to make a name for himself. On the contrary, Fangzheng wanted to destroy the seedlings.
Those who were qualified to participate in the Nine Schools Battle were the elites of each school. If he could completely destroy them, it would be equivalent to completely destroying the future of the new generation of Japan. In this regard, Fangzheng was very experienced. When he first played the piano, it was like this. Basically, many children who competed with him directly broke down and no longer had the motivation to continue playing the piano.
It was just an artistic exaggeration to be able to ignite one's fighting spirit after seeing an unbeatable opponent in an anime. In fact, in reality, when one realized that no matter how hard one tried, one could not win, then what was left was naturally frustration and decline.
This was what Fangzheng wanted to do. He wanted to show up in the Battle of the Nine Academies in an unparalleled and crushing manner. He wanted to make his opponents realize that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't even touch a finger of his. Thus, he wanted to completely destroy their spirit, Qi, and spirit. He wanted these future seedlings in the garden to be completely destroyed.
Right now, Fangzheng was like a pest in a garden, sharpening his knife to kill off the delicate seedlings in front of him.
Unfortunately, no gardener was able to stop him.
After that, Shichikusa Mayumi and the others also tried a hoverboard. Then, just like Erika and the others, they went from feeling uneasy at first to being addicted to it. In the end, they even stayed and didn't want to leave …. If it weren't for the bell ringing, they would have probably skipped class altogether.
Although everyone was in high spirits, there was only one person who was not very excited.
It was Sibo Shenxue.
Although she was excited about the hoverboard at first, after returning to the classroom, Sibo Shenxue's expression became a little gloomy.
Perhaps others didn't know, but for Sibo Shenxue, Fangzheng had become her nightmare.
Before this, Sibo Shenxue had always thought that her brother was the best. Although there were some problems with his personality, he was quite outstanding in terms of ability. In fact, it was true. At least before Sibo Shenxue entered high school, she had never seen anyone who could be compared to her brother.
Until she entered high school.
At first, when she was a new student, her grades were about the same as her brother's in theory, but because her brother wasn't suitable for practical operation, his marks were deducted. But even so, Shenxue, who knew her brother's true strength, didn't think her brother would be a failure. She silently argued in her heart that her brother was just too special. Others didn't know his strength.
If her brother's grades were calculated according to his strength, then he should undoubtedly be the one standing at the top. That was what Sibo Shenxue originally thought.
Until Fangzheng appeared.
Not only did he get full marks in theory, he also got full marks in practical operation … .even in the startup speed test, the two of them were exactly the same, down to the millisecond.
At first, Sibo Shenxue really thought it was just a coincidence, but as her understanding of Fangzheng increased, she became more and more suspicious of whether it was just a coincidence. According to Sibo Shenxue's understanding of Fangzheng, he could easily break her record. The reason he didn't was because he didn't want to go on stage to give a speech on behalf of the new students, so he chose the same record as her.
Although this was in line with Fangzheng's personality, Sibo Shenxue didn't dare to imagine it. Because the two of them were in different examination rooms, if what she guessed was true, then it meant that not only could Fangzheng know what she did across the examination rooms, he could even perfectly replicate it, and in the subsequent rock-paper-scissors game, he intentionally lost … .if that was the case, then it meant that this man's strength was unfathomable and unimaginable.
At least, Sibo Shenxue couldn't imagine her brother being able to do the same.
Apart from that, what Sibo Shenxue envied the most was Fangzheng's personality.
Her brother, for some reason, had been stripped of his emotions. This caused him to be rather slow to react to other people. Although it wasn't that he wouldn't retaliate, unless it was related to Si Bo Shenxue, Si Boda wasn't interested in it. Because of this, he was used as a tool by so many people.
Sibo Shenxue had thought more than once that if her brother could speak his mind like Fangzheng, directly confronting anyone who dared find trouble with him, he would not be in his current predicament.
Because of this, Sibo Shenxue actually had a little resentment towards Fangzheng. Her brother was clearly very capable, but because he wasn't used to showing his face in public, the limelight was stolen by Fangzheng. It hadn't even been a semester yet, but Fangzheng had already become an influential figure in No.1 Highschool. Almost everyone knew about him.
As for her brother …. Many people had even forgotten that Sibo Shenxue had a brother.
The research on flight magic made Sibo Shenxue feel a little anxious. Others might not know, but Sibo Shenxue knew very well that her brother had been researching the generalization of flight magic. Originally, Sibo Shenxue was full of confidence in her brother. She believed that no matter how much Fangzheng stole the limelight, as long as her brother solved the three major problems of weight magic, he would definitely be recorded in history and become a celebrity.
But what Sibo Shenxue didn't expect was that even this was completed by Fangzheng?
But soon, Sibo Shenxue discovered that it wasn't just that.
With the end of the first semester, the final exam results were also out. Among the first graders, the one with the highest theoretical and practical scores was still Fangzheng. He was at the top with full marks, followed by Sibo Shenxue, Mitsui Suika, and Kitayama Yuu.
That wasn't the problem, but the theoretical scores.
In the theoretical scores ranking, the first place was also Fangzheng, the second place was Sibo Tataya, and the third place was Sibo Shenxue.
Frankly speaking, this score ranking was a considerable blow to Sibo Shenxue, because it was tantamount to her brother and sister being hung up and beaten by Fangzheng ….
Of course, Fangzheng didn't care what kind of blow Sibo Shenxue's fragile heart received. After all, after the final exam, there was only one thing he focused on.
The Battle of the Nine Schools.
"According to the rules, four of the six competitions are for men and women. Deciphering the Secret Monument is restricted to the men, and Picking the Stars is restricted to the women. Each school can have a maximum of three participants for each competition. Male and female participants of the same event will be counted separately, including the regular competition and the newcomer competition. Five male and five female participants must choose two out of the five competitions, while the other five will focus on one. "
Shichinusa finished explaining the rules again, then looked at the people around the conference table.
"Then about the participants …."
"I have an opinion."
Fangzheng raised his hand and interrupted Shichinusa.
"What's the matter? Mr. Harukino? "
"I want to participate in both the regular competition and the newcomer competition. Can you do me a favor, President?"
"… Huh?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Fangzheng's proposal.
"Is that a problem?"
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Shichinusa with a grin.
"According to the rules, the newcomer competition is limited to first-year students, but the regular competition doesn't have an age limit. This way, it shouldn't be a problem for me to participate in both the regular competition and the newcomer competition."
"But … there's no precedent for this …."
"That's right, Harukino. Besides, if you do this, you'll get into trouble."
At this time, Watanabe Moli also interjected. Just like what Mayumi Shicusa had said, according to the rules of the Nine School Battles, each school could only register a maximum of three people for each competition. If Fangzheng requested that he participate in both the rookie competition and the regular competition, then it meant that Yi Gao would have one less contestant for each competition.
There were many people who wanted to stand out in the Nine School Battles. If Fangzheng snatched someone else's spot without hesitation, it would naturally attract resentment.
"It doesn't matter."
Fangzheng snorted coldly.
"Isn't it more interesting this way? Think about it, if someone wins both the regular competition and the newcomer competition, wouldn't it be interesting? "
"Well …."
Everyone was taken aback when they heard Fangzheng's question. Then, Watanabe Moli immediately showed an excited expression.
"That seems to be the case!"
Having said that, Watanabe Moli immediately looked at Shichinusa.
"In history, no one has ever won the grand slam in both the regular competition and the newcomer competition! If Harukino wins, he'll be the champion of the Nine School Battles! "
"But … even if that's the case … there's no guarantee that Harukino can win all the competition events …."
Shichinusa hesitated when she heard Watanabe Moli's answer, while Fangzheng shrugged.
"That's simple. Whoever's not convinced can have a match with me. If they can win, then let them participate. If they can't, then the spot belongs to me …. No problem, right?"
"…."
Shichinusa thought for a moment. Finally, under Fangzheng's gaze, she sighed and nodded.
"It's decided then."
Sibo Deep Snow sighed when she heard Shichinusa's answer.
How great would it be if her brother could also participate in the competition … … … … … …
