For the student knights studying in the Knight Academy, this is indeed a very important event.
Not only will this event be broadcast live and reported nationwide, it will also be a competition to determine the strongest players in each university campus. If you can stand out and get good results, you will definitely be recognized by the country and the Taking it seriously and finally getting ahead is not a dream at all.
There are many well-known knights who started to make a name for themselves when they were students, and then entered the world stage and became widely known.
For example, Kurono Shinguji, who is known as the "World Clock", was once a student at Pojun Academy. He participated in the "Seven Stars Sword Fighting Festival" competition and competed with another famous player for the championship. position, and finally entered the A-level league of with the opponent, and broke into the third place in the world rankings.
It can be said that for a swordsman who is planning to take up being a magic knight as his profession, if he wants to stand out in the future, this "Seven Star Sword Fighting Festival" is the first important event to bear the brunt of.
As long as you can get good results in the "Seven Star Sword Martial Arts Festival", whether you want to participate in a world-class competition or get a tribute from the national government, it will become much easier.
This is why Shinguji Kurono was able to promise Ikki that as long as he wins the "Seven Star Swordsmanship Festival", he will graduate no matter how low his ability value is.
If he can win the "Seven Stars Sword Fighting Festival" and prove that he is the best among all the student knights in the country, then Ikki's reputation will become unknown to everyone, let alone the country. Even the has to pay attention.
For countries and the Alliance that strive for powerful swordsmen and attach great importance to powerful swordsmen, an outstanding talent who can win the Seven Stars Sword Festival will never allow him to be defeated by Kurogane. The family is suppressed.
Therefore, winning the "Seven Stars Sword Fighting Festival" is a must for Ikki who aspires to become a Magic Knight.
"This year's Seven Star Sword Martial Arts Festival is the opportunity I have been waiting for for a long time."
Ikki quietly made up his mind.
Of course, for other students, this competition is also extremely tempting.
For example, Stella.
"A game to determine the strongest student knight in the country?"
Then in this game, there will definitely be a variety of powerful swordsmen from all over the country, right
Stella will come to Japan to study, and her biggest purpose is to pursue powerful enemies.
In this case...
"I have to participate in this game."
Stella has already made such a decision.
On the contrary, the other students, after the initial excitement, suddenly died again.
Being able to become a nationally known knight and have a bright future is indeed what many people want.
But...
"Only six people can become representative players..."
"And the strong men from the other six schools will also appear..."
"Will all the outstanding student knights from across the country compete together?"
"It feels like...even if we are matched up, we can't win..."
The students began to understand the reality one by one.
After all, when faced with outstanding student knights from all over the country, ordinary students would give up, and that was natural.
"The representative players from last year's Seven Star Swordsmanship Festival will also compete, right?"
"After all, the only condition for participating in the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival is that you must be a student of the Seven Knights Academy. Many of the representative players who participated in last year's Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival have not graduated."
"It is said that even last year's Seven Star Sword King has just entered the third grade this year, and will definitely appear in this year's Seven Star Sword Festival."
"Even last year's Seven Star Sword King will appear?"
"forgive me."
"We can't win."
The students all sighed.
Thanks to this, students quickly raised their hands to ask questions.
"Excuse me, if I abstain from the selection battle or lose the battle, will there be any punishment?"
If you ask this question, the other party probably wants to abstain, right
"There will be no punishment?" Oreki Yuri immediately said gently: "There will be no punishment, and it will not affect your grades. If anyone feels that they are not interested in the "Seven Star Swordsman Festival", please go through the student The manual wrote back to the executive committee, stating that you can just do not participate in the selection battle, and they will automatically remove your name from the selection list, but once you are removed from the list, you cannot go back on it, so please consider it carefully."
Hearing this, someone else raised their hand to ask a question.
"Then if I participate in the selection battle, is there any danger?"
This is also one of the issues that students are concerned about.
Regarding this question, Oreki Arisato looked confused.
"We can't guarantee this, because it is an actual combat relationship. The selection competition will take a form that allows the inherent spiritual equipment to be used in actual combat. This is also the case for the "Seven Star Sword Martial Arts Festival". It is designed to train students' actual combat abilities and does not require students to The inherent spiritual equipment must be deployed in a fantasy form, and the sword has no eyes. If any accident occurs, it is inevitable."
Oreki Arisato's words immediately caused most of the students present to give up the idea of participating.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Although it is common to get injured in battle, and serious injuries may be life-threatening. Since you plan to become a regular magic knight, you should demand yourself based on actual combat and danger, but those present are only first-year freshmen. , not everyone is willing to take such huge risks to hone themselves.
As long as they graduate safely, obtain the qualifications of a Magic Knight, and have a high-paying and stable job, that is enough for most students.
Therefore, Oreki Arisato's words made many people give up the idea of taking risks.
Of course, there are people who cannot compromise no matter what.
"If you want to qualify as a representative player, how many battles do you need to win?"
The person who asked this question and raised her hand was none other than Stella.
Seeing the world's most powerful magic holder raise his hand, showing his willingness to participate in the "Seven Star Sword Festival", many people looked at him sideways.
Oreki Arisato was also quite happy.
"This is still uncertain, because it is still unknown how many people will be willing to participate in the selection competition, and how many games all students will have to complete to completely complete the selection competition. This has not yet been calculated, but it is certain What's more, as long as there is a willingness to participate, the academy will let all students compete and finally select the six with the best records. Therefore, a conservative estimate is that they must win at least ten games, and they cannot win in the middle. If you lose once, then you have the possibility of becoming a representative player, right?"
Oreki Arisato's kind words made Stella frown.
"More than ten games? There are so many surprises."
Stella's expression didn't look like she was worried that she couldn't do it, but that she felt it was troublesome.
In response, Oreki Arisato spoke quickly.
"Don't worry, there won't be any consecutive battles. Considering the time, there will be a game in about two or three days. Everyone can have enough time to prepare."
After hearing this, Stella relaxed her frown.
"Is there one show every two or three days?"
Even Ikki breathed a sigh of relief without any trace, as if he was relieved for something.
"Then, the announcement ends here. Next, please work hard. The teacher will look forward to your excellent performance, right?"
Summarizing Oreki Yuri's words, the students all started whispering among themselves.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen curled his lips.
"It seems like the new semester has just begun and it's going to be very lively."
