Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The tradition of winter festival celebrations still continues. Tilan and her companions are walking on the street. The surrounding shops and street lamps are decorated with frozen green branches and leaves or simulated ornaments. The frozen green branches and leaves are also dotted with deep red berries. It gives people a sense of harvest and vitality.

"Where did the bird in Tilan's arms come from?" Ole Leisi wanted to ask her as soon as she left the house, but she finally couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, it is." Tilan blinked and touched the rather big white kite in her arms.

"It's the light cotton bird I raised. It has advanced to the sequence 5 stage." This white kite was in Tilan's arms, looking around with a cute look, and occasionally wanted to break free and run out on its own.

"No, there are too many people here, so we can't let you fly around." Tilan touched its neck to comfort it.

"Are they all Sequence 5?" Blanche was surprised. She had only advanced to Sequence 5 not long ago, and this big bird became Sequence 5.

"Well, it took a lot of effort to cultivate it." Tilan said modestly.

"Do you have a name?" Shui Yanqing was curious.

"Uh, I didn't give a name." She didn't have the habit of giving names. Sometimes she felt that naming animals would have a weird feeling, as if she was imposing the rules of human society on animals.

"Then what do you usually call it?"

"Just call me Dabai Yuan, you care for me~" Tilan said and laughed.

"Although there is no name, if I call it, it will know." This is also the benefit of the singer's talent, she can call each animal accurately.

"Can it lay eggs?" Blanche came closer and wanted to touch the white kite, but she was afraid of being pecked because the white kite's mouth is quite pointed.

"I haven't laid any eggs yet." Tilan thought for a while. The cotton bird did not lay eggs frequently. Similar to the falcon, the advanced white kite has wisdom and can control it by itself.

"I didn't expect Tilan to like raising birds." Several people were a little curious and fresh.

This white kite was obviously not raised in recent months, but had been raised by Tilan for a long time. However, it had been several months since they entered the school, and this was the first time they saw it.

"I also took a training course before." Tilan explained helplessly.

"Many extraordinary animals can still be cultivated." After walking for a while, she saw Bai Yuan becoming familiar with it, and let go of her hand, letting it fly to her shoulder.

"It's like meeting Tilan for the first time. There are always many unknown and mysterious things." Shui Yanqing joked.

"Quite good looking."

Orlais turned her head and looked at the white kite on Tilan's shoulder. Upon closer inspection, she saw that the bird had neat feathers, a well-proportioned body, and agile eyes. There was faint magic flowing in the blue eyes, and it was emitting a magical aura. It is also extremely pure and stable, and it can be seen that it has been cultivated very well.

"I have two elf dragons at home, and it takes nearly 20 people to take care of them, which is very energy-consuming." Orlais thought of the two beautiful and narcissistic guys at home.

"Wow, Elf Dragon." After hearing this, Blanche could only feel envious.

After that, the four of them chatted about the various extraordinary animals they came into contact with and got to know, until the hover car slowly landed in the Poseidon Arena in the third area of ​​the center.

It was very lively here today. Decorations for the Winter Festival celebrations were hung everywhere in the arena, and many spectators were sitting in the auditorium.

"This is the venue for the 'Spinner Cup' competition."

The ‘Spin Leaf Cup’ is an event jointly sponsored by twelve giant companies. The contestants are all Academy City students. In order to increase the fun and enjoyment of the competition, the venue is different every year. This year it is in the water.

The entire Poseidon Arena is like a large lake, with only two pumice stones floating in a symmetrical position in the middle, serving as the points for players to stand when entering.

Shortly after sitting down in the VIP box, the competition entered the opening ceremony. First, a burst of music sounded, a mermaid singer emerged from the water to sing, and then there was a performance by black and white orcas spinning around her.

After the performance, there was the usual speech by the host, thanking the twelve giant companies for sponsoring, and then introducing the rules.

Because it is not an official competition, the rules are quite simple, which is an elimination system, with promotion levels until the final winner is determined.

After the rules were explained, the water surface in the entire arena rippled, and then a huge vortex gradually formed in the center. It was reflected by the twelve lampposts at the bottom, which was extremely gorgeous. After a few seconds, the vortex was sucked up again, A magnificent water column forms in the sky, extending towards the sky.

After more than ten seconds, the water column dissipated, and a faint rainbow appeared in the venue, and a statue of Poseidon stood in the center. It looked like a mermaid, sitting on the rocks, holding a harp. It is said that this statue was based on the former sea witch Phoebe. The carving is also to commemorate the once legendary maritime academy city 'Phoebe'.

Finally, the game officially started.

"The first match is between Wen Yuting from Ehong Academy and Wilson from Gesi Academy."

Because it is a highly competitive event, almost all of the people on stage are elite students from Sequence 6. They are also geniuses from various universities and colleges, the top group among their peers after countless eliminations.

Tilan also stopped chatting with her companions and watched attentively. She rested her cheek lightly on Bai Yuan's warm feathers and paid attention to the two people in the arena.

Wen Yuting was dressed in silver-red clothes. The fabric on the sleeves and skirt reflected a faint metallic luster. There were streamers of similar material surrounding him, just like a fairy in mythology.

Different from high school, combat competitions in college no longer only depend on personal strength, but also on the combination with various extraordinary props and equipment. Wen Yuting's special clothes are made of the special extraordinary material 'Xia Silver Silk'. Not only can it greatly enhance the protective power, but it can also easily perform many secret techniques with the help of the imprint pattern engraved on the cloth.

After landing on the pumice stone in the water, Wen Yuting pulled out two daggers. The blades were hollowed out inside. When the magic power was injected, red magic light appeared. This is the unique inheritance of the 'Ehong Academy'. Red silk' has many matching usages and secret techniques.

On the other side, Wilson from the 'Gushi Academy' entered the venue wearing a high-collared white and green uniform. His clothes were particularly straight. There were two eight-sided floating units floating beside him, with various electronic indication patterns flashing on them. And Guangguang, 'Gushi Academy' is famous for producing various self-disciplined units. It is a famous engineering school. The students of this school will also make great use of the auxiliary power of various self-disciplined units.

"Game start!"

The referee gave the order, and both sides started to take action. The first was Wen Yuting. The two daggers in her hands fell down, suspended and rotated in the air, and then shot out. The two red lines cut through the entire venue like a thunderous giant.

Faced with this situation, Wilson immediately moved the two autonomous units forward and deployed a translucent solid barrier. The moment the barrier opened, two daggers were inserted into it.

The red thread inside the sword body flickered, and then a thin crimson light spread along the place where the blade was inserted. In less than two seconds, the barrier shattered.

Then the dagger shot out again, staggering with each other and hitting Wilson directly. Wilson tried to use some kind of illusion dislocation secret technique to avoid it, but was still stabbed by the rapid strangulation of the dagger.

After being inserted into Wilson's body, the red line at the tail of the dagger glowed brightly. Then Wilson's body trembled, his body and skin were covered with red cracks and red lines, and he slowly fell down.

This was the result of Wen Yuting's withdrawal. If it was an actual fight, Wilson's body would have been broken into various pieces.

Withdrawing his swords, Wen Yuting held up his ribbon and saluted, and then the game ended.

"As expected, he is a genius who came out of the 'Erhong Academy'. Not many people of his age can resist such a method. The 'Erotic Red Thread''s demon-breaking penetrating ability is too strong." The audience whispered.

The Federation Ranking of 'Ered Academy' is 136, which is among the top in Academy City. It is especially known for its individual lethality.

"It's so scary. In almost the blink of an eye, that senior lost." Blanche was a little shocked.

"The blood pupil sequence is also specially trained for combat. The strength is certainly amazing." Shui Yanqing shook his head slightly and commented.

"Wilson's self-discipline unit takes time to deploy. In terms of sudden explosive power and speed, it is far inferior to Wen Yuting. It is normal to lose." Orlais said her opinion.

The black-haired girl on the side withdrew her gaze, leaning against Bai Yuan's feathers and thinking about how she should deal with such an enemy.

If she fully explodes with speed, she is confident that she can avoid the strangulation of the dagger, but if she is really stabbed, the corrosive and destructive power of the special red line will also greatly inhibit her self-healing ability, making her unable to short-circuit. Recover in time.

And this kind of battle often snowballs. If you can't recover in a short time and your fighting ability decreases, you will be hit more, then suffer more injuries, and finally lose.

So the key is to avoid being hit. If she goes on stage to fight Wen Yuting, the most direct way is to defeat him faster than the opponent. Whether it is the ability to teleport or the terrifying speed after the fairy transforms, it can help Tilan do it. this point.

It is definitely possible to win, but there is already some danger.

Not long after, the second game also started.

"The ones appearing this time are Cook from the Zhamen Academy and Mo Hu from the Xunying Academy."

On one side was a ruffian man wearing a large cloak with his hands in his pockets, and on the other side was a young man with firm eyes wearing a black and white swordsman uniform.

"Oh haha, I'm from Xunying."

After taking the stage, Cook's lips cleft with an exaggerated expression. He waved his hand, and then pointed his thick index finger in the opposite direction.

"Listen, I'll beat you in five, no, no, four moves."

"Really?" Mo Hu stood on the pumice stone, leaning slightly and pressing one hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Now the game begins." Seeing the two people arriving, the referee announced loudly.

The moment the words fell, Mo Hu's figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared. At this time, Cook was still making the action of taking his hand back. Just when the audience had a bad premonition, they thought that Cook was going to be chopped in half by Mo Hu. At this moment, he paused and snapped his fingers.

"The floodgates are opening."

Like open incisors closing and colliding rapidly, a series of closing and impacting sounds unfolded in the venue, some on the water, some in the air, and some underwater. The slightly distorted spatial misalignment showed that there seemed to be invisible doors in these places, up and down. It suddenly closed and made a loud noise.

Then, in this series of closing sounds and waves, everyone finally saw the blurry and fleeting figure. It turned out that these gates were on the only way for Mo Hu to advance and dodge. If he hadn't been fast, he would have been cut in half by the closed gate.

After a few seconds of such high-intensity dodge, Mo Hu's body suddenly rose up, breaking the speed of sound almost instantly, and attacked Cook directly.

Cook seemed to have expected this. A huge gate about ten meters wide, like the guillotine's guillotine, fell rapidly from the high sky, and he himself stood under the guillotine.

Mo Hu, who was already violent at this time, had no time to retreat even if he wanted to. Doing so would only slow down his speed and make him more likely to become a target, so he resolutely accelerated again, heading towards the gap where the guillotine fell, and kept getting closer to Cook. A slight glint of white hair also appeared at the end of the blade in his hand.

"boom!"

The guillotine fell, causing a huge splash of water, and the audience watched the scene nervously.

A few seconds later, the water splash fell, and the scene finally appeared. Mo Hu's sword was inserted into Cook's heart and chest, and his own legs were cut off by the huge guillotine that fell, and he was bleeding.

"Tsk, tsk, you are really desperate." Cook pushed the short-haired young man in front of him and pulled out the sword inserted into his chest.

Although the sword was inserted, only a small part of the sword was broken. The blade part had already been cut off by another gate opened by Cook and fell into the water.

Although the federal ranking of the 'Gate Gate Academy' is not high, hovering around 400-500, the secret method inheritance in the academy is also quite simple, which means opening and closing various 'gates'. With unique and terrifying lethality, graduates of the 'Zhamen Academy' have always been welcomed employees in various offices.

Zhamen Academy? Tilan touched Bai Yuan in her arms. It would be very troublesome for others to encounter such an opponent, but for her, it was not as dangerous as Wen Yuting.

This kind of secret technique that combines space and cutting is as clear as a toy in her eyes. With the power of space, she can even reverse the direction of the gate to open over the opponent's head.

However, this kind of secret technique inspired her, and she might be able to use it in battles in the future. After tearing the space, it would close instantly, creating some kind of powerful cutting effect.

In fact, the secret method of Zhamen Academy is also a trick, because maintaining the space gap for a long time or stably consumes a lot of money, which is why few extraordinary people use the ability to teleport in space.

It may not be that difficult to tear open space gaps, but it becomes extremely difficult to safely shuttle through or stabilize yourself. Therefore, although there are many space-related secrets, most of them use this kind of space gaps. Attack instead of entering yourself.

The secret method of Zhamen Academy only requires a short period of violent tearing, and completely ignores the stability and safety of the space gap. After all, it is only used for attacks. This saves a lot of energy and magic power, and also allows Sequence 6 extraordinary people to tear apart in a few seconds. , opening dozens of gates one after another.

In the following time, elites from each school took turns to show off the exclusive secret techniques and unique fighting methods of each school, which opened the eyes of many freshmen and saw a variety of cutting-edge and novel fighting techniques, including but not limited to Various technological products, illusion interference, high-speed attacks, charming minds, magic projection deployment, swarm tactics, erosion and strangulation, etc. Compared with the high school winter festival competition, which pays attention to fairness and rules, today's competition has very few taboos, as long as you If you can win, you will be admired.

"It's no longer children's play. This kind of competition is closer to the way extraordinary people deal with enemies in reality." Tilan couldn't help but sigh after reading it.

If the clown faced these talented students that day, he would not be able to beat 70% of the contestants and would only be reduced to a stepping stone for others to advance.

"It's no wonder that the top few who emerge from this kind of competition must be good at 'working'. Those firms and big companies will naturally welcome them."

The time passed slowly, and by around 10 o'clock in the evening, the competition came to an end. The champion was an orc student from the 'Splitclaw Academy'. He barely won, and what attracted the most attention to the audience was the runner-up, from' Mokaranza of Phantom Academy, this girl defeated one opponent after another with her illusion skills that were difficult to distinguish between true and false. Many people were obviously much more powerful than her in combat, but at the beginning of the game, they were hit by the illusion spells. Knowing that in the end all attacks fell into the air and failed.

However, the use of illusions consumes a lot of energy. In the last game, Mokaranza was obviously mentally exhausted. The orcs used their keen sense of smell and intuition to break through the illusions, defeated her on the spot, and won the championship.

The third place is Leige from the 'White Knight Academy'. This young man in white exoskeleton armor looks particularly simple and honest after taking off his helmet. His combat ability may not be amazing, but he has high defense power. , has comprehensive abilities and no special shortcomings. Even in the face of illusions, he can remain calm, constantly spending time and magic with the opponent, dragging the opponent into a protracted battle, and then defeating him.

At the beginning of the competition, Wen Yuting, who used two swords with the 'Red Thread of Doom', was defeated and eliminated in his hands. Under the rock-solid white stone armor, the corrosive red thread could not penetrate at all. Unfortunately, some people commented that this tactic can only be used in competitions. In actual combat, if you encounter such a stupid big guy, just ignore it. Anyway, the opponent is not fast and the attack power is not strong.

After the award ceremony, the four of them returned. On the way, they were still chatting about the characteristics of each school and the unique fighting methods of each contestant.

"It would be nice if 'Mokaranza' had a little more energy left." Shui Yanqing said regretfully. During the competition, she felt that this player was very compatible with her.

"I still like Roger in the white knight armor. It would be nice if he was more handsome." Blanche said softly.

"Where's Olesi?" Shui Yanqing suddenly asked.

"Me? I don't like anyone. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Orlais was slightly unhappy.

"Nothing." Shui Yanqing turned away and looked at the night view outside the car window.

Realizing that the two of them were unhappy, Tilan shook her head helplessly. The two of them were really incompatible with each other. They had obviously been getting along for several months.

Seeing that Orelai next to her was still a little irritable and sulky at Shui Yanqing's way of breaking away with one blow, Tilan reached out her hand, held his wrist, and pressed it lightly on her leg. After a while, Orelai gradually The mood has stabilized and I am no longer angry.

There were sporadic light snow falling in the sky outside the window, covering the earth. Before she knew it, it was the end of December. Time flew by. She gradually became familiar with life in the Central Star Territory and met many singers like her.

Even the singers who are extremely envious in the eyes of the world have their own little troubles. Although their lives are special, they don't seem to go beyond people's imagination. Now they even feel a little dull.

Maybe, this is life.
