Dark Light: Magic Betrayed

After the summer vacation, as new students came to the school, Espina, Yi Tianshu, Fesali and Kimiro became second-year students.

The positions of male and female student union presidents are held by Masford and Eliza respectively. Since they became the student union presidents, their cloaks were replaced by the crests of their respective families. Eliza's cloak is pure blue with a

The castle is white, and Masford's cloak is dark green, with a golden scimitar and silver bows and arrows intersecting on it.

An important day soon arrived.

Magic Cup!

On this day, the school suspended all classes. In the morning, all the teachers and students of the school gathered in the auditorium and looked towards the high platform with great anticipation.

Principal Epps Damon stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen! Let us watch the opening ceremony of the 2023 Magic Cup!"

Principal Epps Damon suddenly waved his arm, and a huge crystal barrier suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The students all clapped and praised when they saw it.

At this time, a picture slowly appeared on the crystal barrier, and then a young male voice came from the barrier.

"Jinfamen Broadcasting and Transmission Station, this is the Changbai Mountain Magic Arena in the Eastern Middle-earth Region! The scene of the opening ceremony of the 2023 Magic Cup. What is currently taking place in the venue is the performance before the ceremony."

As the music with unique Eastern and Middle-earth characteristics came, Espina saw a vibrant forest appear on the crystal barrier. As the camera changed, she slowly came to an extremely huge orient with a strong sense of history.

Middle-earth Magic Arena.

At this time, in the central square of the arena, many children in colorful costumes were dancing with beautiful knitted objects that looked like lion heads. Espina looked at Yi Tianshu curiously and asked softly: "Yi Tianshu

?What are they dancing about? It’s so beautiful.”

Yi Tianshu said with a smile: "This is called lion dance. Lion dance is an excellent folk art in the East. It was also called "Taiping Le" in ancient times.

The lion is made of colorful cloth strips. Each lion is usually performed by two people, one dancing the head and the other dancing the tail.

The performers dress up as auspicious animals under the music of gongs and drums, and perform various movements in order to be festive and auspicious. The performance process is very masculine.

Lion dance is considered a lucky charm to ward off evil spirits and avoid harm. During every festival or major event, lion dance must be performed to add to the fun. It has been passed down from generation to generation."

Espina nodded upon hearing this and looked at the crystal barrier with a surprised look on her face.

At this time, a sweet female voice came from the barrier.

"The children celebrated the opening of the 2023 Magic Cup together with sincerity and fullest enthusiasm."

Male voice: "The east wind returns with autumn, and friends from all over the world arrive as promised. The performance before the ceremony shows the beautiful East that embraces all rivers, sings and dances in a unique oriental way."

As the lion dance children gathered together, a magic cup symbol slowly appeared in the center of the square.

At this time, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and almost all teachers and students were cheering.

At this time, Espina saw more than a dozen children on both sides of the square running to the middle, waving to everyone, and then posing in various sports poses.

Then the children suddenly formed a circle, and suddenly a huge rag doll appeared in the middle of the square. The doll was all black and white with two big black eyes, which looked very cute.

Espina immediately fell in love with this cute little doll, then pulled Yi Tianshu's sleeve and asked: "Yi Tianshu! Yi Tianshu! Look, what is this? It's so cute!"

Yi Tianshu said with a smile: "This is the iron-eating beast, also known as the giant panda!! Hahaha."

Male voice: "In the arena, the children danced their hands to welcome the arrival of this white and lovely magician. The atmosphere of the magic cup made everyone immersed in a sea of ​​joy."

At this time, Espina heard warm applause and cheers coming from the crystal barrier.

Male voice: "The eleven elders of the Oriental Middle-earth Jin Dharma Sect, together with representatives, dignitaries, royal family members, and heads of the International Magic Schools Committee from various magic areas, entered the venue."

Male voice: "Holding the 2023 Magic Cup is our solemn commitment to the magical society."

Female voice: "Hold the 2023 Magic Cup well to witness our determination to promote the concept of building a community of magical destiny and maintain peace in the magical world."

At this time, Espina saw countless scenes from previous games flashing across the crystal barrier. As the countdown on the scene continued, the female host said excitedly: "As the countdown clears, the opening ceremony of the 2023 Magic Cup has officially begun.

!”

Then Espina saw countless Eastern Middle-earth magicians in the square holding wands in their hands, and countless fireworks flying out of the wands into the sky.

At this moment, Espina suddenly saw a stream of icy blue ink falling from the sky, and then transformed into a turbulent river.

The rolling river water poured down, and in an instant, the entire venue was filled with rolling river water.

The river slowly freezes, and the rushing scene gradually becomes quiet, turning into a world of ice.

At this time, a huge ice cube slowly rose from the ground in the venue.

Espina looked at the scene in front of her nervously.

As the light and shadow on the Ice Cube flashed, the logos of previous Magic Cups were revealed. At this time, more than thirty blue magician phantoms appeared around the square, and then collectively turned into ink and rushed towards the Ice Cube.

At this time, Ice Cube's time has stopped at the 2023 Magic Cup.

At this time, six Eastern Middle-earth magicians appeared in front of the Ice Cube. They waved their wands and counted the colored lights flying towards the Ice Cube.

The colored light collided back and forth inside the Ice Cube, and then the Ice Cube changed.

I saw layers of Ice Cube cracking and falling off, as if something was about to rush out from the middle.

Then a crystal clear magic cup appeared.

At this time, the female voice said: "The crystal magic cup broke through the ice. Breaking the ice means breaking the barriers and approaching each other, and everyone becomes one."

Then the magic cup glowed brightly.

The female voice said: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2023 Magic Cup athletes!"

The male voice said: "Delegation, the entrance ceremony begins!"

At this time Espina saw five figures walking out of the light of the magic cup, the leader holding a dove flag holding an olive branch in its mouth.

Female voice: "What is coming to us now is the Quiretus Magic School. The five students from the Quiretus Magic School will participate in all magic competitions as representatives of the Quiretus Magic School, the birthplace of the Magic Cup.

The group is the first to enter. The next order will be divided by the area."

Immediately afterwards, many school delegations with unique characteristics entered the venue.

Whenever a new school team enters the scene, the music of the scene will change accordingly.

At this time, the background sound suddenly became very solemn, and Feisali stood up excitedly and cheered.

"Igat Kingdom Magic Academy! The five students from the Igat Kingdom delegation are holding the flag that symbolizes the honor of the kingdom. They will participate in all competitions except ice and snow!" Espina said clearly

See the black cobra symbol waving on the golden flag.

"The guidance sign in the hands of the on-site guide is made of oriental jade."

When several school delegations walked by, the female voice said: "Next, walking outside is Epps Damon Academy of Magic! Five students from Epps Damon Academy of Magic, they will participate in all

Competition event!”

At this time, in the school auditorium, all the teachers and students cheered and applauded thunderously, and the cheers resounded throughout the entire auditorium as if it could lift the ceiling!

Espina could clearly see through the crystal barrier that Eliza, Penenina, Nelson, Ying Yuanhui and Masford were wearing black magic robes with golden school emblems embroidered on their cloaks, and Masford was holding

The school's colorful emblem is painted on the blue flag.

But when it came to the Western Magic Area, he skipped it directly. Kimiro suddenly said in surprise: "No way?"

Yi Tianshu also nodded and said, "Unbelievable?" Feisali looked at the crystal barrier with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Espina asked curiously: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Kimiro looked at Espina with a confused face and said: "Usually, in the past, Epps Damon Magic Academy was followed by schools in the Western Magic area, but this time they skipped it and went directly to the Northern Magic School.

Region. This is what it represents..." At this point Kimiro suddenly fell silent.

Espina quickly looked at Yi Tianshu.

Yi Tianshu said with a serious expression: "This means that the entire Western Magic Region refuses to participate in the Magic Cup." Espina showed an expression of disbelief when she heard this. She looked at Principal Epps Damon on the high platform.

, I saw him staring at the crystal barrier with a solemn expression.

At this moment, the crystal screen suddenly sounded: "Next is the Siberian Women's Magic Academy! The five girls representing the Siberian Women's Magic Academy will participate in all competitions!" At this point.

Kimiro stood up and shouted: "Look! The flag-bearer is my sister! Lyanna Viktor! Oh wow!!" Esporna looked at the girl holding the flag, and saw that he was wearing

She has a gray and white magic robe, beautiful blond hair, and very beautiful brown eyes.

As school representatives entered the stands one by one, the Oriental Magic area was the last to enter.

At this time, an excited voice came from the barrier: "The next person coming to us is Shushan Magic Academy! Five representatives from Shushan Magic Academy will participate in all competitions." Espuna found out at this time that when the barrier

When the school in the Eastern Middle-earth magic area appeared inside, Yi Tianshu's eyes seemed to light up.

The next ones were Songshan Men's Magic Academy, Huashan Magic Academy, Emeishan Magic Academy...and so on, but the one that left Espina still fresh in her mind was Yulongshan Women's Magic Academy. They were wearing blue patterned silver magic robes and exquisite headscarves.

A stunning silver crown.

This made Esperona's eyes brighten.
