Dark Light: Magic Betrayed

As time goes by, more and more competition results come out, and everyone is calculating the ranking of each school in front of the crystal screen.

When the results came out, Espina was surprised to find that Epstein Academy of Magic only came in second place, and the first place was Huashan Academy of Magic.

Huashan Magic Academy won the championship in three major categories and five minor categories.

Epps Damon Magic Academy won two major events and five minor championships, ranking second.

The third place is Yulongshan Women's Magic Academy, which won 1 major event and 4 minor events.

That night, all the teachers and students gathered in the auditorium. As Principal Epps Damon waved his hands, the crystal screen suddenly appeared.

At this time, a melodious music came from inside the barrier, and everyone watched the closing ceremony of the Magic Cup attentively.

Male voice: "Jinfamen Broadcasting and Transmission Station, this is the Changbai Mountain Magic Arena in the Eastern Middle-earth region! At this moment, all the Magic Cup games have ended, and everyone's eyes are fixed here waiting for the closing ceremony."

Girl: "At this time, the Changbai Mountain Magic Arena is still full of brilliance and the warm atmosphere is still rising. Tonight we will bid farewell to the magic event with the most sincere emotions."

Male voice: "The Magic Cup movement carries on people's beautiful pursuit of peace, progress, and unity. In the past three weeks, the Magic Cup has united the world."

Female voice: "On the opening day of the Magic Cup, we cherish this hard-won gathering. When the Magic Cup closes, we join hands and look toward the future together!"

Male voice: "Eleven elders of the Oriental Middle-earth Jin Dharma Sect, as well as representatives, dignitaries, royal family members from various magical regions, and the head of the International Magic School Committee will attend tonight's closing ceremony."

Female voice: "The closing ceremony will begin soon! Let's wait together."

After coming over for a while, I saw the magic cup burning with blazing flames, quietly and slowly falling from the sky. At this time, I saw countless red ribbons flying into the Changbai Mountain Magic Arena from all directions, wrapping around the magic cup. As the ribbons were ignited,

, a huge oriental knot slowly appeared.

Male voice: "The Oriental knot symbolizes auspiciousness and unity. It is a craft full of Eastern philosophical ideas. Each ribbon can be knotted independently, each with its own beauty. And many different ribbons can also be woven together, beautifully and openly. Just like

The construction of a community of magical destiny, a harmonious and cooperative magical family, requires everyone to work together.

Female voice: "Immediately, the flags and school representatives of various schools will enter the world of Eastern Knot Link."

Male voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the flags of the 2023 Magic Cup delegation are entering."

Male voice: "First of all, the flags of each delegation enter the arena. A total of 455 athletes from 91 delegations participated in the Magic Cup. The competition started and lasted until the closing ceremony. Every athlete achieved their own breakthrough.

Female voice: "Due to the hard work of the athletes, a large number of records have been created. Many Magic Cup world records have been broken, and records in almost every minor event have been rewritten."

Male voice: "The flag bearers of each delegation participating in the closing ceremony are all athletes who achieved breakthroughs and showed their magical spirit."

Female voice: "Now there are 91 flag bearers holding delegation flags surrounding the venue, and the 91 flags echo the oriental knot in the venue. The design concept of the opening and closing ceremonies of world unity and one family is constantly highlighted."

Male voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2023 Magic Cup athletes."

Male voice: "Now is the time for the athletes to enter. At this time, the sky and the earth are wrapped in oriental knots, which expresses the connection between the East and the world, and also entrusts a more united magical spirit."

Female voice: "The Magic Cup is a common festival for all magicians to experience the magical culture of the East. The Magic Cup is a grand event for international exchanges, a paradise where Eastern traditional culture and the spirit of the Magic Cup coexist harmoniously."

"

Male voice: "In fact, the tenacity and persistence of all our athletes, and the breakthroughs they bring about, are equally wonderful and extraordinary."

Female voice: "The spirit of the Magic Cup shines in all athletes. After the game, everyone returns gifts to each other and becomes friends."

Male voice: "Show the competitive level of the younger generation in the Magic Cup Arena. They are the first in spirit, morality and style. We are proud of you and applaud you."

When everyone entered, they hugged and danced in the huge arena. Athletes from all the schools in the grassland area formed a large circle, spinning happily together, and then suddenly rushed to the middle and hugged each other.

Some athletes even took out their magic cameras and took pictures everywhere to capture every unforgettable scene.

Male voice: "Athletes, please sit down and watch the ceremony."

Female voice: "Now all the athletes participating in the closing ceremony will go to the stands under the leadership of their respective flag bearers and watch the closing ceremony and performances with the audience."

At this time, there was a joyful gathering on the field, and the athletes who were dancing and celebrating seemed to have not heard the host's words at all, and they were still celebrating to their heart's content.

Male voice: "Athletes, please sit down and watch the ceremony."

The athletes still refused to stop their dance steps. They exchanged their dance skills with each other to the accompaniment of arena music.

Sometimes they embraced each other, sometimes they spread out, sometimes they formed a circle and kept spinning.

Male voice: "Athletes, please sit down and watch the ceremony."

After the host announced three times in a row, the athletes reluctantly returned to their respective stands.

Male voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Magic Cup award ceremony begins now."

As loud music sounded, Huashan Magic Academy slowly walked into the venue, followed by Epps Damon Magic Academy, and finally Yulongshan Women's Magic Academy.

Male voice: "The person presenting the award to the athletes is Mr. Jiang Qi, the representative of Jinfamen of the 2023 Magic Cup Organizing Committee."

With impassioned background music, the crystal screen slowly faced the third place podium.

Male voice: "The winner of the bronze cup is Yulongshan Women's Magic Academy!"

I saw five girls from Yulongshan Women's Magic Academy, holding hands and jumping onto the podium together, spreading their arms and waving to the audience in the stands. They cheered excitedly and showed bright smiles.

Then Mr. Jiang walked towards them holding a wooden tray and a copper cup. The five girls from Yulongshan Women's Magic Academy carefully took the cup and held it in their hands excitedly! Thunderous applause erupted from the scene.

Male voice: "The winner of the silver cup is Epps Damon Academy of Magic!" I saw five students from Epps Damon Academy of Magic running excitedly onto the podium, hugging each other, jumping up and down, extremely excited,

The five people laughed and burst into tears of excitement.

Then Mr. Jiang walked towards them holding a wood grain tray and a silver cup. Five students from Epps Damon Academy of Magic carefully took the cup and held it up excitedly in their hands! Thunderous applause erupted from the scene.

Male voice: "The winner of the Gold Cup and Magic Cup is Huashan Magic Academy!" I saw five students from Huashan Magic Academy shouting and jumping to the highest podium. They cheered and celebrated that they had won the Magic Cup championship.

Then Mr. Jiang walked towards them holding a wooden tray and a gold cup. Five students from Huashan Magic Academy carefully took the cup and held it in their hands excitedly! Thunderous applause erupted from the scene.

After the award ceremony, five students from Huashan Magic Academy invited students from the two schools who won the silver cup and bronze cup to stand on the championship podium and take photos together.

Afterwards, they returned to their respective stands under the guidance of the instructors.

When everyone was seated, two magicians from the Eastern region, a man and a woman, appeared on both sides of the arena. They were seen walking slowly towards each other. After walking a few steps, they slowly stopped and then danced.

At this time, a blue light slowly appeared under the two people's feet. As it continued to dance, the blue light turned into cities, vast forests, lakes, mountains and seas.

The female voice said: "The city and the mountains meet together, the magician and nature, the future and life merge together."

The two magicians approached each other while dancing, and the distance between the two people became closer and closer.

At this time, the two people suddenly rushed to the center of the arena, and then suddenly knelt down on one knee. Then a blue light flashed on the ground, and the entire magical world map still appeared in front of everyone.

Espina stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes and disbelief. The mountains, the rapid rivers, the vast sea, everything was gathered on a disk.

At this time, the ushers slowly walked onto the arena holding the school flags of each school, formed a circle, and looked up at the magic cup burning with blazing flames.

The magic cup slowly landed, and then the blazing flames slowly extinguished and merged into the earth. At this time, countless beautiful fluorescent petals, gold, silver, red, blue, and colorful petals were slowly rising around the duel field.

Dance gracefully into the sky and merge into the vast sea of ​​stars.

Then countless fireworks were lit at the same time, and the bright fireworks lit up the starry sky.

Male voice: "In the sky full of fireworks, we left behind the memory of the magic cup."

Female voice: "The world is united and we are one family. This Magic Cup has been recorded in history."

I saw the flag in the hand of the conductor slowly glowing, and streaks of light and shadow rushed to the sky, forming a huge and bright portal.

At this time, the students who saw the above walked down the stands one after another, came to the portal and waved goodbye, and then stepped into the bright light and returned to their respective magic areas.

The man and woman said at the same time: "That's it for this live broadcast of the Magic Cup. See you in the future!"
