Quadruple split

"Well, will the fourth group start? It's quite early."

Hopkins nodded slightly, and after saying something casually, he let Mu Xuejian continue to be in a daze. Then, he turned his attention to those people not far away who, although not as high in status as the dean himself, were superior in terms of strength. Several of the 'colleagues' who followed him narrowed their eyes and nodded slightly.

Those senior members of the Paladin Academy who usually had their eyes high and were not very convinced by Hopkins, the dean, were all smiling like flowers this time, and casually gave a few words to the fellow participants with cheerful smiles. After the students were good behaved, they left together.

Their task today is very simple, that is, they go to three competition venues to watch the game. Of course, although it is said to be 'three competition venues', the three competition stages in the first round of the knockout round are very close to each other. It is separated by a barrier that is invisible to the naked eye to prevent the situation like "Player A on the ① platform hit the player D on the 2nd platform with a small X flying knife", but even the cheapest, remotest and most corner With standing tickets, people in the audience can easily have an unobstructed view of the large arena that was temporarily divided into three arenas.

Even with the auditorium like this, the preparation area where the contestants and their delegations are located is more convenient to see.

Hopkins assigned a task to these good colleagues who suddenly became behaving because he 'recruited' Mu Xuejian, which was to keep an eye on the participants of the White Oath Knight Academy and the Knights Guild from the first game on. Academy City Chapter contestants and those from the Diesel family, find out the strongest among them for evaluation. If that person is judged to be capable of fighting Mu Xuejian, even if the possibility of winning is slim, We must also focus on research and targeting!

To be honest, after seeing Mu Xuejian's strength with their own eyes, the college management, headed by the two vice presidents, didn't think that anyone would have the strength to 'fight against Mu Xuejian', but after all, people are The dean found him, and his skills were impeccable. In addition, Hopkins made a bet with those unpleasant guys against all odds, and then found another card that could The trump card to win this bet is 100%, so at least in the past few days, everyone is still very convinced of this dean who usually does not show off his integrity and only handles administrative and internal affairs.

Just watch, no matter where you are watching the game, it will not delay Mu Xuejian from winning the game.

With this mentality, the group of people followed Hopkins' instructions and walked to the competition venues that they were more interested in. Of course, the No. 2 competition venue where Mu Xuejian was located had the most people, although there were no People think that the first round of the knockout round will be interesting, but if you don’t have access to it, it’s good to watch the excitement.

All in all, Gavinrad Diesel's caution does not mean that Hopkins Leon will take it lightly. To put it simply, both parties are not stupid, and they invariably unfolded the situation carefully with a 'big name' in hand. Test.

A trial that was over as soon as it began.

Game time AM09:18

Academy City Central District, central area on the first floor of the arena, in front of stage ②, waiting area

"How are you? Are you nervous?"

In the bustling crowd, Jadeka turned to Mo Tan with a smile and winked: "It will start in less than half an hour. If nothing else happens, you will be on the fourth game of channel 2." .”

Because the players will compete in three competition stages at the same time, the process of the first knockout round of the individual competition is relatively fast. As Jadeka said, Mo Tan, who drew the 22nd lottery, should be in the 2nd lottery. They will appear after the third game on the stage, and Liadrin and Kevin, who drew numbers 145 and 213 respectively, will be later, so everyone is basically on number 2 at the moment. Waiting for Mo Tan's game to start near the stage.

However, in order not to attract the attention of others, except for Jadeka, Ji Xiaoge and Yaya, who did not look like contestants at first glance and no one knew them, whether it was the well-known Gavin Rad and Mal La, he was still wearing the Diesel family standard armor (Mo Tan’s was an old model from decades ago, and it didn’t have the family crest). Neither Liadrin nor Kevin came over.

Mo Tan shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't feel nervous if I'm nervous, but it's really lively here. I feel like the atmosphere is pretty good."

"Hmm! That looks so interesting!"

Ji Xiaoge also nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Although this place is not as big as the arena in Tianzhu Mountain, it gives people a completely different feeling! It looks like a hot-blooded comic!"

Yaya tilted his head curiously: "Wangxuewanghua?"

"Well, it can barely be regarded as a culture in our world. It feels almost like a bard story~"

Ji Xiaoge put his arm around Yaya's shoulders and explained, flapping his wings excitedly and looking around: "I wonder who Mo's opponent is!"

Jadeka shook his head: "Basically no useful information could be collected before the end of the first round. Except for the contestants themselves and their relatives, no one even knew the opponent's origin and name, but basic information and so on It will basically be completely transparent after the round, and the referee will briefly introduce the names and backgrounds of both parties before each game.”

Ji Xiaoge hummed a little tune while combing Yaya's pigtails, and asked casually: "So what we need to pay attention to is the contestant from the Paladin Knight Academy?"

"That's what Marla and Gavin Rudd will do, at least until they lock in the target, we just have to enjoy the game."

Jadeka laughed and patted Mo Tan on the shoulder: "You too, you don't need to think so much, just enjoy the atmosphere here more."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and showed an exceptionally sunny smile to the old mage: "Don't worry."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Although he knew that his old friend did not need such advice, Jadeka couldn't help but said: "As you said before, just do your best. Although you are also a trump card, the point is In fact, it’s still in the team competition.”

Mo Tan smiled at a few young people who nodded to him not far away, and continued to nod: "I know."

"Don't worry, Lao Jia, you said it yourself, Mo is definitely at the ceiling level in the high-level competition area."

Ji Xiaoge folded her wings together, wrapped Yaya in her wings, hugged the latter who had a look of enjoyment and playfully stuck out his tongue: "Although I don't know much about knights."

Suddenly, most of the men and a few women around them fell into a daze. You must know that Ji Xiaoge was quite conspicuous because of her appearance that was incompatible with the profession of knight. In addition, although she was in [Left and Independent] Although his influence has been greatly reduced due to his talent, he still has a stunning appearance. It is really difficult to attract attention... especially from those young men who are full of energy.

Coupled with the playful look on her face just now with her tongue sticking out, the lethality is really quite high.

"Be low-key, be low-key!"

He told Mo Tan not to put too much pressure on him, but in fact, Jadeka, who was very concerned about the results of the individual competition, immediately stood in front of Ji Xiaoge nervously and whispered with a vigilant face: "Don't let Mo cause unnecessary trouble. Pay attention!"

Ji Xiaoge smiled coquettishly, then stretched out his little hand and waved gently to Mo Tan: "Go, go, take it somewhere else, I'm so good-looking, you will get attention when I'm next to you! "

"oh."

Mo Tan nodded obediently, stood up, and then blended into the crowd without looking back, and soon disappeared from the sight of several people.

Ji Xiaoge was shocked at that time: "Hey! I was just joking!"

"Meowang!"

Yaya also let out a soft cry, and then jumped out with a 'swish': "Wait a minute!"

"Just don't go."

Jadeka grabbed Ji Xiaoge, who was about to follow him, and said seriously to the winged girl with a puzzled face: "You will affect his condition."

"Why would I affect his condition?!"

"Didn't you just say that you are so good-looking?"

"Yeah, yeah, then?"

"Our family Mo is not a saint, especially since we haven't seen you much in the past few days."

"Eh?"

"Anyway, just listen to me and just stay here."

"Pfft~"

"Little pigeon, why are you laughing?"

"It doesn't matter what you say, Lao Jia, you actually care a lot about Yimo's grades, right?"

"..."

"Haha, I know, I know, as long as they don't go, I'll stay here to accompany the lonely old man."

"A...lonely old man?!"

…

a moment later

Game time AM09:48

"The game is ready to begin, number three, Finn, a third-year student at Paladin Military Academy."

In the center of the No. 2 competition stage, the half-orc referee, who was wearing heavy armor and with obvious mammoth ancestry, a serious face, and a big nose and ears, knocked hard on the two heavy shields in his hands, and the originally noisy scene suddenly fell silent. After coming down, he said in a deep voice: "No. 4, Knight Guild delegation Rex, come on stage."

A few seconds later, the two contestants whose names were called stepped onto the stage. Finn, a third-year student at a military academy, was a lizard man boy whose age was not apparent but who should be in his early twenties. His face was livid and he was trembling violently, while his opponent, the orc knight Rex, had a straight face, with no expression at all.

Neither of them carried mounts. They wore different styles of knight's heavy armor, and their weapons were broadswords and war guns.

But the difference is that they are both two-handed weapons. The lizard boy holds a sword with both hands, while the orc knight standing not far from him holds a gun with one hand.

"There is no time limit in the competition. Losing consciousness, going out of bounds, being judged by me to be unable to resist, using banned drugs, maliciously maiming the opponent, and trying to kill the opponent will all be considered failures. Those with serious circumstances will be punished."

The Mammoth referee and the referees from the other two venues loudly read out the basic precautions, then raised their right hands high and flew off the field after shouting "the game begins" in a deep voice.

The next second, No. 1 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. No. 4, No. 5 vs. No. 6, a total of three sets of competitions started at the same time.

"Mo woof Mo woof!"

In a corner near the No. 2 competition stage, Yaya pulled Mo Tan's arm excitedly, lowered his voice and asked softly: "Which dog do you think is the best dog?"

Mo Tan gave the answer without thinking: "The No. 4 player named Rex, just by looking at his momentum, you can tell that he is much stronger. If No. 3 doesn't plan to play the pig and eat the tiger, he should soon... uh, really."

The pace of the game was unimaginably fast. Before Mo Tan finished explaining to Yaya in the audience, the orc knight Rex on the stage had already shot away the knight sword in the hand of the third contestant Finn, and easily and comfortably took away the sword. The heavy lance in his hand was pressed against the side of the latter's neck.

"I surrender."

Finn, the pale lizard knight, slowly raised his hands, and after Rex put away his gun and saluted, he returned the salute hastily, and then ran down the stage dejectedly to accept the comfort of the students in the audience. .

The winner did not waste a second more. After briefly saluting the referee, he left the competition stage just as quickly, making way for the latter group.

"Well, it's not that much of a barking either. Even though the strong one won, he definitely won't be able to bark!"

After realizing that it was not as exciting as she had imagined, the girl who had been jumping up and down immediately visibly withered, holding Mo Tan's arm and started muttering.

"Haha, Yaya, you are very powerful."

Because he knew very well that the orc knight would be easily defeated when he met Yaya, so Mo Tan did not go overboard and educate the latter to be humble, but ruffled her hair cheerfully: "Disappointed?"

"I didn't lose my dog, I'm very happy!"

Yaya turned his head and glanced at No. 9 and No. 10, who had already begun to salute each other on the stage, and grinned: "If those Wangs are so Wang, Mo Wang will definitely be able to easily get Wang Jun!"

Mo Tan chuckled, shook his head and said: "You think too easily. This is just the first round of the main competition. From now on, it will definitely become more and more exciting, and the opponents will become more and more powerful. Of course, if If I can get through this round.”

This is what he is like under his current personality. Even though the current players on the field are in terms of combat power, let alone Mo Tan, even someone of Liadrin's level will definitely not be able to beat him, but he still doesn't say as if he can. Just like the first round.

…

ten minutes later

As contestant No. 15 was caught by his opponent and made a slight mistake, and because of his weak psychological quality, he failed to correct his flaw in time, finally, under the storm-like continuous offensive of No. 16, his throat became sweet and he was shocked. A mouthful of old blood came out, and he sat down on the ground with a pale face, announcing the end of the game.

Then--

"On the 21st, the Diesel family representatives remain silent."

The mammoth man who walked back onto the stage looked down at the battle roster and said solemnly: "On the 22nd, Mu Xuejian, a second-year student at the Paladin Knight Academy, will take the stage."

【Paladin Knight Academy! ? 】

The moment the second name was read, Jadeka, Ji Xiaoge, Gavin Ladd, Liadrin and other 'own people' who had already turned their attention were all stunned.

【Mu Xuejian? ! 】

As Mo Tan stepped onto the competition stage, his eyes widened suddenly, staring at the white-haired girl in front of him with eyes filled with astonishment.

There is no other reason...

Just this morning in real time, he had seen this name on the home page of the official website's personal combat rankings, which were updated on average every half hour!

No.15: Mu Xuejian-Absolutely Neutral-Sword Crazy!
