Night party, against the battlefield.
There is no stage in the college specifically for holding night parties.
However, in the academy, there are many places that can be used for battles.
Previous nightclubs will choose between these venues based on their respective conditions.
This time, the stage of the night party was the grass square located behind the central lecture hall, sandwiched between the Department of Film Studies and the Department of Law.
I saw that here, white stone pillars stood on the ground like Stonehenge, separating a vast turf battlefield.
In front of the battlefield, the glove holders in formal uniforms lined up neatly, looking like a dark legion, full of momentum.
In addition to the glove holders, there were many students watching on the outside of the battlefield.
Although only glove holders were obliged to attend the opening ceremony of the night party, there still seemed to be more than a thousand participants.
For those students who are not qualified to participate in the competition, although the night party is not a chance for them, it is still a grand ceremony and worth enjoying.
Therefore, here, there are not only many students gathering outside, but also the welfare society has set up stalls, and the surroundings are decorated like a festival. It is like an entertainment activity somewhere, which makes people linger.
Under such circumstances, Luo Zhen took Ye Ye with him to the battlefield.
Moreover, as usual, Luo Zhen seemed to be yawning listlessly and seemed to be the last one to arrive, attracting the attention of many people.
"... It's really leisurely."
"Obviously the next step will be the cruelest competition."
"He is in second place. The last contestant besides Magnus to appear is still far from the competition."
"So you are confident, right?"
"snort... "
The surrounding glove holders made comments like this one after another, and looked at Luo Zhen with eyes full of dissatisfaction and hostility.
This is also something that can't be helped.
For these puppet masters who are also participants in the night party, Luo Zhen is a very powerful enemy.
Anyone who wants to win at the night party has to treat everyone as his enemy.
Luo Zhen is one of the most dazzling enemies.
In this case, it is only human nature to add insult to injury as much as possible.
Of course, Luo Zhen didn't even pay attention to it. He just yawned and walked into the venue with Ye Ye, who was staring around, and lined up in the queue surrounded by everyone's eyes.
And at the front of the team, on the podium one level higher than the ground, the dean of the academy just appeared slowly.
"I am Edward Rutherford, Master of the Royal Academy of Artificial Intelligence at Walpurgis."
As soon as he appeared, the dean declared in a powerful voice. The powerful force and presence exuded from his body were like invisible pressure, making the surrounding voices disappear in an instant.
"The Night Party is a grand ceremony in the world of clever magic. It is the highest ceremony recognized by the Magicians Association. It has been held for forty-eight times so far, and a total of forty-eight demon kings have been born and entered the world."
The dean's voice spread slowly.
"As the best beings of their generation, these demon kings have made many great contributions to the world after leaving the world."
"Some of them have become the strongest barriers to protect the country."
"Some of them made many inventions that benefited the world."
"The development of the world cannot be separated from the knowledge of the Demon King."
"The progress of civilization cannot be separated from the contribution of the devil."
"It is precisely because of this that the association recognizes the legitimacy of the night party and gives it the right to give birth to the Demon King, so that the Demon King can not abide by the International Magic Charter and the Magician's Ethical Code, use his own talents, conduct research, invention and exploration, and finally gradually gradually Uncover the truth about the magic world so that human beings can continue to improve."
The dean's eyes swept over each glove holder present one by one.
"Among you, the forty-ninth Demon King in history will be born."
"Your path may be different from the previous demon kings."
"There are various reasons why you choose to be here."
"But there is only one thing that remains absolutely unchanged."
"That is, you need to prove that you are the best, most powerful, and most authoritative existence in this era."
At this point, the dean suddenly smiled.
“I look forward to your active participation and discussion.”
This concludes the Dean's speech.
However, the eyes of every glove holder present were burning with unprecedented fighting spirit, and many people even felt excited about it.
Obviously, the dean's speech completely ignited the desire of these contestants.
The desire to be the strongest, to gain privileges, to prove oneself, and to stand above others.
"Old fox..."
Among the crowd, Luo Zhen cursed secretly in his heart.
The dean's speech was certainly very emotional, but what followed was not a peaceful competition, but a fierce fight.
Therefore, the dean's words will probably make the fighting more brutal, right
"It's really not a big deal to watch the excitement."
The opening ceremony continued amidst Luo Zhen's silence.
Following the Dean's speech was the swearing-in ceremony for the evening gathering's participants.
The representative is naturally Magnus, the first in the academy.
With everyone watching, Magnus took the stage with six girls who were all wearing Gothic Lolita costumes.
The chief of the college quietly watched the students below, and the corner of his eye fell on Luo Zhen for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Magnus's oath echoed.
"We who gather in Walpurgis are willing to shed our blood in order to continue to protect the fire of magic."
Magnus clenched his hands into fists, placed them on his chest, closed his eyes, and slowly swore an oath.
"If you don't become a king, you will become nothing."
"If you don't succeed, you will succeed."
"We swear to fight with truth."
The oath is completed.
"beep!"
The band played loud trumpets.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
A group of white doves were released and flew into the sunset sky.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The onlookers applauded enthusiastically and cheered.
""
In the distance, the clock tower sounded its bell as if it had spotted the right moment.
"This is the opening of the 49th "Twilight of Walpurgis"!"
The dean's announcement echoed through the sky, and all glove holders were asked to take out their gloves, place them on their chests, and then put them on again.
At this point, the opening ceremony ends.
The people in the battlefield dispersed in all directions, vacating the entire venue.
Luo Zhen also took Ye Ye to the auditorium. He first bought some snacks from a stall nearby, then sat down and looked into the venue.
At this time, Luo Zhen felt a very obvious gaze directed towards him.
At that moment, Luo Zhen turned his head and looked at the source of his sight.
There, in the corner of the auditorium, Xia Lu sat alone, seeming to be secretly watching Luo Zhen. When she was discovered, she was startled, and then glared over.
"This girl..."
Luo Zhen curled his lips, turned his head, and continued to look at the field.
The first battle of the night party is about to begin.
