My Magic Age
Chapter 377 177. Seventh Substitute
The interior design of No. 3 Fighting Arena is like a pan. The center of the competition is just the bottom of the pan. The surrounding circular stands extend upward in a stepped manner until the top is connected with the rain-shielding eaves, like It's a big jar. After Su and I entered the martial arts arena, we went directly to the bottom of the stands, which was only separated from the martial arts arena by a row of cast iron fences.
The black paint on the fence has become dilapidated, revealing the red anti-rust paint inside. Even this layer of anti-rust paint is full of scratches. Entering the rainy season in midsummer, I think this fence may be corroded and rusty by the slightly sour rainwater. The fighting arena is about two meters lower than the stands, so all spectators can clearly watch the game.
The real arena of this martial arts arena is as big as three basketball courts, and the ground compacted by loess is very flat. After the referee announced the name of the winning team, he ran towards me very low-key.
I was standing next to the railing at the edge of the grandstand at the entrance to the martial arts arena. I was holding the railing with both hands and looking into the arena. Su was standing next to me.
The referee ran to my feet and sprinted for a short period of time. Just when he was about to hit the brick wall, he raised his foot and stepped hard on the wall. His body suddenly jumped up, one-handed. He easily grabbed the high-speed rail fence, which was three meters from the ground, and jumped to the stands like an ape. He stood steadily beside me and smiled politely at Su and I who were stunned by the side, revealing a neat row of Teeth, and then walked straight out of the martial arts arena.
"Well, Mr. Referee, is the game over here? I'm sorry, we just came from outside and don't know much about the situation here!" I quickly caught up with the referee and asked him politely.
The referee stopped and turned to look at me. I happened to meet his eyes. He was a middle-aged uncle. He was not very strong, but he was wearing a light leather armor and was dressed very well. Clean and neat, I guess he must be a teacher from the Warrior Academy. He looked at me calmly, and then said to me: "There is one last game, but this is not my arbitration. You should still be able to watch a complete game."
"It should be..." After thinking about it for a while, he looked up at the notice board in the distance. (It turns out that there are notices for every game. I didn't even know this, so I stupidly went up to ask, thinking I blushed all of a sudden), and then the middle-aged uncle continued: "It's the Fighting Spirit Team and the Metal Barrier Team, well, yes, most of the spectators in these stands are here to watch their game, it should be very exciting. "
"Thank you so much, Mr. Referee!" I saluted him politely.
"First time here?" He looked me up and down and asked casually.
I said: "Yes."
He nodded slightly to me, and then said: "Then, just enjoy this rare high-level competition! I'm busy, so I won't accompany you."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the stands. Looking at his hurried steps and not knowing what he was anxious about, I withdrew my gaze from him.
At this time, Su and I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that we were pretty lucky to have caught up with Team Annie's match. The injured lying on the ground on the field had been helped up by their companions, and they were walking to the edge of the field one after another. , some seriously injured team members were also carried on stretchers. The injuries of the injured after first aid treatment have stabilized. Sophie's main task is to provide first aid to ensure the safety of the participating team members on the field.
However, there are other medical staff who are actually responsible for the follow-up treatment, and a more comprehensive examination is required. In this regard, after the stretcher is carried outside the venue, a dedicated person will take over.
Sophie wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked up at the center of the stands. The notice board showed that the last team was ready to start the game. She had a relaxed smile on her face. She didn't know how many people there would be in the stands. Infected by her bright and sunny smile.
Even Su next to me whispered softly, then pointed at Sophie and said to me: "Jijia, look, that magician is so beautiful!"
"Hey, are you talking about Teacher Sophie? She is the assistant teacher of our water magic class. I didn't expect that she would also be a rescuer on the field!" I briefly introduced Sophie to her. I had never paid attention to this person. What does the beautiful teacher in the imperial capital usually do? Although I am quite familiar with her, I know very little about her life outside the classroom.
Su then remembered that I was also a student at the Magic Academy. How could I not recognize the magician on the field? Her beautiful eyes winked at me, looked behind me and said, "She seems to be saying hello to you!"
I looked over to Sophie, and sure enough I saw her waving to me. She probably happened to see me in the stands when she was looking at the sign.
Sophie made a gesture to indicate that she would continue to guard the last game. I nodded to her from a distance to express my understanding. She turned around and walked to the safe area at the edge of the field. Someone immediately offered her seat diligently. It looks like she's having a great time as a paramedic.
No wonder Benjamin didn't want to go into the stadium to watch the game, maybe because he didn't want to see Sophie, lest they both be extremely embarrassed.
There was a sudden commotion at the exit of the lounge of the competition ground. A group of warriors neatly dressed in black iron full-covered armor walked out of the lounge door neatly. Everyone was very strong, taller and taller than the average person in both height and physique. There were so many, a whole group of people came out in armor, like a wall.
Their right hands held shields, and their left hands held heavy hammers. As soon as they appeared on the stage, their uniform movements immediately caused cheers in the stands. It seems that they have many supporters. Shield warriors are very popular people whether in the military camp or in the adventure group. They need their strong bodies and solid armor to hold up a sky for their companions.
However, few people do this to them. All members being shield warriors will make the entire team extremely cumbersome. Although their defense is excellent, their shortcomings are also very obvious. All long-range attack professions are their nemesis. , of course, if you are an archer, you must have armor-piercing arrows.
The academy will never allow students to use such powerful arrows as armor-piercing arrows in the competition field, but I think there should be a fairer judgment method.
From a distance, I saw Annie and Leonard in casual clothes walking out of the lounge with their fighting spirit team. Every member of the team looked very heavy. Annie and Leonard were standing in the martial arts arena. On both sides of the gate, high-fives were given to each team member to cheer them on. Walking at the front was the warrior who was good at using long-handled weapons. He was still wearing chainmail and holding a helmet in his other hand. Before entering the arena, he gave Leonard a firm hug. Leonard looked like It was the one who rubbed his head hard like an elder brother, whispered a few words to him in a low voice, slapped him on the butt, and pushed him into the fighting arena.
Behind him is a girl wearing khaki light leather armor. A cyan scarf covers half of her face. Two exquisite scimitars are hung crosswise on her waist. When she walks, she looks like a Just like a cat, you can tell from the way she walks that her body is very light. She should be a student in the assassin class. She walked up and hooked Annie's neck with one hand, and kissed her cheek to show intimacy. At this time, Annie was also saying words of encouragement.
Next, Anne clapped hands with the handsome ranger who ran into the arena. Behind him was a very stocky short young man. He walked calmly into the arena carrying two whirlwind axes and passed by Anne. At that time, I also raised my hand coolly and patted Annie's white palm accurately. Although we were far apart, I knew that the applause must be clear and loud.
When Su saw her sister Anne, she naturally refused to just stand at the door of the stands. She knew that Anne would not play in the game this time and wanted to stay with her sister, so she walked quickly towards Anne along the railing.
Obviously, this prosthesis was very reliable. It was Su's first time to use it, and even after walking such a long distance, she didn't feel any fatigue. Su could still jog along the path along the fence of the stands. I followed closely behind, fearing that she would accidentally fall down here, but there was a full three-meter drop, and I didn't want to have any accidents.
Before Su and I could reach Annie, we saw an assistant referee running over to verify the identity of the contestants. In this kind of competition, it is necessary to verify the qualifications of each team member. The college has always been very strict in reviewing this aspect. , once discovered, it will definitely be disqualified from the competition. Anne and Leonard also actively cooperated and took out the contestants' nameplates for identity verification.
When asked about the number of people, the assistant coach raised his head and glanced at Leonard in confusion, and asked suspiciously: "Are you sure you want four people to play? Are you so confident that you can win in the end?"
Leonard did not hide his dilemma, patted his own leg and said directly: "My leg is injured, I can't play!"
"You don't have any substitutes?" the assistant coach asked Leonard in surprise.
The number of participants in each team is five, and the general membership of a battle team is about ten. Therefore, even if there is an injury or temporary incident during the game, the team's replacement members will be added in turn, so Attrition during a game is normal. But when the assistant referee saw that there were only four people from the Fighting Spirit team entering the arena, he realized that there were some new problems with the Fighting Spirit team. It was probably because they no longer even had substitutes.
The assistant referee looked at Anne, but Anne glanced aside and ignored the coach's question.
At this time, a warrior covered in black iron armor walked step by step from the center of the arena. He lifted the metal mask on his helmet, looked at Leonard with a dull face and said, "Why are there not even everyone here?" , are you looking down on our team just because you’re ready to go to war?”
In addition, people were already starting to boo in the stands. A student stood in the crowd and shouted: "They say that the Fighting Soul Team is a dark horse. Even the teachers in the college take a high look at the members of your Fighting Soul Team, but you have some Too proud."
The scene became very chaotic for a while, and even the assistant coach said to Leonard: "I don't think you can win this point against the Metal Barrier team. If you lose this game, they will have The qualifications are among the sixteen teams. Challenge any one of them. As long as they defeat this team, they will be the ones to advance to the top sixteen, so please treat this game with caution!"
Another assistant coach saw some commotion here and ran over directly. After understanding the situation, he decisively said to Leonard: "If it is determined that you are playing passively, maybe we will consider disqualifying you from the competition. Agreed. The Metal Barrier team will win directly! Even the normal number of players cannot be guaranteed. You should reflect on how you run this team."
The assistant referee had a sullen face and didn't seem to have a good attitude towards the Battle Spirit Team.
Reynard smiled bitterly and said, "But we can't find a fifth person to participate temporarily. Usually, our team has only six people. Now two people are injured, so it is reasonable for us to arrange four people to participate."
I didn't expect that so many people would be waiting to see the good show of the War Soul Team. The assistant referee who came later obviously disliked the War Soul Team. His words were a bit biased, but he was very helpless. He was the assistant referee on the field, and he did have such supervision power.
"If you really can't get five people to participate, I advise you to withdraw by yourself. Anyway, you will lose anyway. If you withdraw at this time, you can avoid someone getting hurt." The assistant referee who caught up from behind said this to Reynard again.
Annie and Reynard looked at each other with some embarrassment. Finally, Reynard gritted his teeth and said to Annie: "Why don't I go up? This leg injury is not serious!"
"Sister Annie, we are a little late!" I said to Annie quietly.
At this time, I pulled the weak Su through the crowd and squeezed in, standing in front of Annie like two good babies.
After all, there is a four-year age difference. Su and I are like two children standing in a group of adults. Almost everyone is a head taller than Su and me. Originally, we were automatically ignored by others. But in such an atmosphere, when I spoke to Annie, all eyes were focused on me.
"I am the substitute player of the Battle Soul Team and the seventh person in the team. Captain, please let me play!" I said to Reynard and Annie who were at a loss.
Hearing my words, the people around looked at Reynard and thought: So there are really only seven people in your team. This kid is a freshman!
"Oh, I know him, he is the freshman in the first year of the magic academy!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
The warrior like a steel giant was also confused. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was sure that it was not the Battle Soul Team that was humiliating them with the number of people, but that they really couldn't get the players together. After understanding the specific situation, the captain of the Metal Barrier Team left silently and returned to the center of the arena to wait quietly.
At this time, Reynard looked at Annie, asking Annie what to do with his eyes?
Anne hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly to Leonard.
"Okay, Ji... Jia!" It was obvious that the team captain Leonard was not familiar with my name. When he called me, his accent was a bit strange.
So I casually adjusted my white shirt and gray tight-fitting trousers, stretched my body, and ran into the competition field without paying attention to anyone else, not even bothering to look at the assistant coach.
While Sophie was staring at me with her mouth open in surprise, she ran straight to the center of the fighting field and greeted the other four members of the fighting spirit team in a familiar manner.
"Hi, hello, my name is Ji Jia!"
