The internal qualifiers of Maple Leaf College are open to all students fairly, regardless of grades and credits, they are all eligible to register, even across colleges and majors. However, each student only has one registration form, so unless they know that they will never pass the internal qualifiers with their own strength, they will not make jokes about their future.
Students who performed well in the preliminaries, even if they failed to win the competition in the end, had a high possibility of being admitted by the masters of each branch.
Ionas chose the most difficult format, and when the top 20 of the qualifiers of the Warrior Branch came out, he started the challenge directly from the 20th place. If you can beat all the top 20 in an unbeaten match, you can directly get a place to participate in the college competition. The only advantage of this format is that it is fast, and it only takes a day.
Although Lu Heng guaranteed that he would always sit in the audience where he could be seen at a glance, Ionas still couldn't accept the stinky and long knockout system, so he just chose this kind of competition system that was almost never chosen by anyone. .
This caused a stir in the academy again. In the arena that day, the auditorium was full. In fact, most students come to see how top-qualified geniuses are educated by reality beyond their own capabilities. After all, aptitude is only a kind of potential, and in the internal qualifiers, many senior students who have registered for graduation in the Adventurer's Guild outside will also come back to participate. These senior students, who are already well-known outside, are not comparable to such rookie freshmen who have never seen blood.
However, what was educated by reality was the audience of the entire arena. The freshman named Ionas was going all the way. In the first few, the audience could comfortably say that those few were students who had not yet gone out to practice, and it was not uncommon for them to be defeated by freshmen with top qualifications. However, when Ionas challenged to the top ten, the audience's jaws could not be put back all the way.
Although watching the golden dragon beat up the children was no fun at all, in order to avoid the last time, the dragon trainer Lu Heng had to sit in the audience and watch the whole show.
Ionas didn't know where he heard the academy tradition, saying that if you give the glory of victory to your loved one in the preliminaries, you will get the blessing of God. So every time he beat the children, he would come to the front row of the audience.
Obviously, Ionas completely forgot that he was a dragon god. Although he has no godhead and can't use his divine power freely, he is still a demigod. Every time this happens, Lu Heng Qingxin chooses to wear a cloak to watch the game wisely.
Like now.
"The glory of victory is shared with you." The black-haired and golden-eyed boy walked to the audience and looked up at the man in the cloak who couldn't see his face clearly. It was not until the man put his index and middle fingers together, a little in front of the boy's forehead, that the boy returned to the center of the field with satisfaction, waiting for the next opponent to play.
The surrounding students would still be booing enthusiastically at first, but at this time they are all indifferent. After all, after watching the same scene a dozen times in a day, everyone will behave like this.
In the last game, standing in front of Ionas was an acquaintance, Red, a warrior of the Blood Wolf Squad.
Rhett was also surprised: "Ionas? I thought it was just the same name, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Ionas frowned and looked at the strong warrior in front of him. In his eyes, except for his spouse, the human race looked the same: "Who are you?"
Reid was choked to death by this familiar tone again: "I'm Reid from Blood Wolf Squad."
"Blood Wolf Squad?" Ionas seemed to remember something, "The one that even Dragon Eagle can't get..."
"Yes, it's us." Reid looked at the other party's mouth, for fear that he would utter the word "trash" and make himself half-dead, so he interrupted him quickly.
The rest time has come, and the referee on the high platform signaled that the two can start.
Rhett was very excited to meet Ionas here. Because, he has long wanted to beat this noble young master with his nose upturned. Although the priest with him saved Edie's life, but every yard is a yard, this noble young master is still as unbeatable as ever. At most, he should start lightly, so as not to let him lose so humiliatingly.
Reid is going to use his strength to let this noble young master know that it is not because his team is too weak that he can't hunt dragon eagles. However, all this is his own fantasy, Rhett lay on the ground and looked at the sky. He still hasn't figured out how he lost.
Rhett only remembered that he had put up his hands, and when he shook his head, he saw Ionas in front of him. When the opponent's fist was about to focus on his abdomen, it was clearly starting to move like lightning, and he was clearly unable to catch it. However, Ionas suddenly slowed down again, and let himself take the punch. After repeating this several times, Ionas broke his grudge and kicked himself away.
The force of this kick was just right, which not only allowed Reid to get up without a trace of energy, but also wouldn't hurt him too badly. And that person has never used vindictiveness. It turns out that Ionas's arrogance has this strength. Rhett lay on the ground thinking so, and he deliberately kept his hands so that he would not lose so embarrassingly, this Ionas turned out to be a good person.
Rhett waited for Ionas to pull himself up, as is tradition in the arena. The winner will pull up against the loser who fell to the ground, and then the loser congratulates the other on the victory, saying that the victory or defeat will not affect the friendship of each other's classmates.
However, Rhett felt that he had been lying down for a long time, and he had recovered a little strength. Why didn't Ionas come over. Reed barely stood up and found that Ionas had actually walked to the edge of the venue. After he raised his head and said something to a person in the auditorium, he jumped on the auditorium and pulled the person away.
Rhett decided to retract the foreword, this noble young master is still as annoying as ever.
Lu Heng and Ionas stood at the exit of the Arena, waiting for Reid to come out. The last match just ended, and as soon as the referee announced that Ionas had won the academy's place, he rushed over and jumped into the auditorium. Lu Heng was dragged all the way out of the arena to go back to the dormitory. After agreeing to a series of conditions for deepening the relationship before going to bed, Ionas reluctantly agreed to go back later.
There is a reason why Lu Heng is waiting for Rhett here. The final part of the college competition is a team-based experience in the field. Each team can bring a priest. Generally speaking, students have familiar priests. Therefore, if Lu Heng wants to go with Ionas during the training, it is the best choice to form a team with Reid.
"Ionas?" Reid was a little strange seeing the two standing at the exit. This noble young master is actually waiting for him here, does he want to apologize for the incident just now? No, absolutely impossible, Rhett shook his head, throwing off the whimsical idea.
"Reid, can I have a chat with you?" Lu Heng lifted the hood that covered most of his face.
"Ah, Joseph, so it's you, long time no see." Seeing that it was Edie's life-saving villain, Rhett immediately grinned and stepped forward to give him a warm hug.
This hug, of course, was stopped by Ionas halfway: "Don't touch my partner casually."
"You, you have such a relationship!" Reid was stunned in place, "I always thought Joseph, you were the godfather of Ionas!"
"..." Lu Heng really wanted to ask if he looked so old. Although this body is indeed more than two hundred years old, it still looks very young, and compared with the tens of thousands of years old Ionas, he is not even a fraction.
The three chatted for a while, all the way to the cafe in the academy restaurant, and on the way they met Edie who had just finished the competition from the Master Academy. The four found a quiet corner and sat down.
"I heard my grandfather talk about you as soon as I went back to the academy. I didn't expect us to be classmates," Edie said.
"Edie, you didn't tell me about this. I almost lost my eyes when I saw Ionas in the arena." Reid shouted with some dissatisfaction.
"After returning to the academy, this seems to be our first time meeting, right?" Edie rolled his eyes.
Lu Heng smiled and interrupted the momentum of the two people's bickering: "Actually, there is something I want to trouble you to help."
"Don't be so polite, if you have anything, just say it, as long as we can do it." Reid smiled heartily.
It was rare for Edie to not refute him, but nodded.
"I believe you have already won the big competition. I want to participate in the final field part with Ionas, so I hope to form a team with you." Lu Heng stopped talking politely and said directly.
When Reid heard it, he was overjoyed: "How can this be considered help? It's clearly something that I and Edie took a lot of advantage of."
"Originally, we were worried about which priest to invite. Ella recently went to the Holy See to do penance and won't leave for a short time. Joseph, it's great that you can invite us to join." Edie also smiled. .
The matter of the team of four was settled like this. Reid and Edie, who were very familiar with the college competition, took care of things like pre-match preparations, which saved Lu Heng a lot of effort.
After saying goodbye to Reid and Edie in front of the dormitory area, Ionas almost hung up on Lu Heng, his tone aggrieved: "To participate in that qualifier today, I haven't touched you all day, Why can't you just put those things in that treasured library?"
Ionas automatically ignored the kisses Lu Heng gave him with his fingers instead of his lips after each fight. For the greedy dragon, that was simply not enough.
Lu Heng raised his hand and smoothed his hair: "You have been sleeping, and you don't know much about the mainland. The building where the treasured library is located was built during the Era of the Gods. At that time, in order to preserve the civilization inheritance of the mainland creatures, the whole The library was built by the God of Foundry, and the outer walls are blessed by the divine power of the gods. Even you, there is no way to forcibly break in."
