Chapter 326: Brilliant Debut

The spiral gun blade rotated in the sky, and countless flames gathered from the night sky like an hourglass, then wrapped around the gun body and gathered at the shining gun tip.

Like the lightning that destroyed the world in mythology, the spiral gun blade was thrown out, carrying an unstoppable momentum through the atmosphere, shattering layers of barriers, sinking into the earth and exploding. The entire venue was torn apart at this moment. Even though the heat wave was blocked by the isolation shield in front of the audience seats, it made the audience feel a slight suffocation, their faces became hot, and their backs were slightly sweaty.

The smoke and flames dissipated, and the figure who slowly put down his hand slowly appeared in the sky. The pair of golden eyes overlooked the earth, and there was still a dignified momentum in them.

"This is..."

"I have never heard of his name."

"He is so strong that I cannot even describe him in words."

In the third elimination round, as the group with the fewest people, three of the Thunder Blades lost in succession. When the last person was about to appear, everyone had almost given up hope. However, this boy who had performed mediocrely before showed strength far beyond everyone's imagination, and directly defeated the opponent ranked in the top ten of Saint Ingo Academy with one move.

And according to this posture, even if multiple Transcendents of the same level appeared together, the result would be the same.

"Thunder Blade, fourth grade, Levito."

"Such strength is probably not even achieved by some Transcendents of Sequence 6." Someone commented.

"Is this the hidden trump card of Thunder Blade?"

"Thunder Blade always surprises and shocks everyone inadvertently."

Although the subsequent competition continued, many people were still discussing the boy who had just appeared. People who watched the live broadcast on the Internet also discussed this emerging new star in various forums.

"This Winter Festival Competition is far beyond the ordinary. Let's not talk about the previous favorites, Seraphiel and Sweetway. Now there is another Levitor. And judging from the attitude of Saint Ingo Academy, they are not in a hurry at all. They probably have hidden trump cards that have not yet appeared."

"On average, Saint Ingo and Edes have the advantage, but in terms of personal brilliance, Lelisa and Thunderbolt are more eye-catching."

"The Swarm Leader and Crystal Lattice in the middle are a little weak this time. Their overall strength is not bad, but there are not many highlights."

"Tomorrow, the seeded players of each university will appear, and the true situation of this Winter Festival Competition will be fully revealed."

In the preparation hall of Edes Academy, Tilan leaned on Dolores's knees and took a nap until the two shook her arm and woke up.

"Tilan, look." Avni reminded the girl, and the camera on the screen focused on the figure of the boy floating in the sky.

"Another contestant who exceeded expectations. What do you think, Tilan?" Dolores helped the black-haired girl in her arms sit down.

"She is indeed very impressive." The girl blinked. Although she was sitting indoors, she could still sense the air waves and magic that had not yet dissipated in the air.

This kind of strength is probably even stronger than the previous Seraphiel and Sweetway, the girl commented in her heart.

If the opponent did not use any cheating methods to improve his strength, his talent might be evaluated as [Legendary].

Closing her eyes, the girl simulated in her mind how she would win if she were to face him.

If she only relied on the singing girl (Starlight Level) plus some talents (Crystal Healing), it would be difficult to defeat the opponent head-on with these revealed talents and things.

In this competition, it seems that exposing the unique talent and strength is inevitable, the girl thought in her heart, but she still has to make a selection. The influence of the singing girl's talent is too great, or it is easier to expose other aspects of strength. Anyway, with the record created by her sister before, as a younger sister, she will not cause too much reaction if she is a little bit out of line.

"He's a very strong person. Even if I want to defeat him, I have to spend some time thinking about it." The girl thought for a while and answered like this.

"Huh?" Originally, the two of them just asked simply, and didn't expect Tilan to give a definite answer. After all, there are too many variables in the game and the battle.

But unexpectedly, Tilan didn't seem to think it was difficult to defeat the opponent.

The two of them have been with this black-haired girl for a long time. They know that with Tilan's humble and cautious character, she would not say so if she was not 100% sure.

Saying that she spent some time thinking probably means that she will win for sure.

"I always feel that there is no bottom in the abyss of Tilan, and I never know where your limit is." Dolores touched Tilan's long hair behind her, and straightened her messy hair.

"Then we will look forward to Tilan's great power tomorrow~" After saying that, the two smiled.

"It's a pity that I don't pay attention to these things. I heard that there are some underground casinos every year that will issue prizes based on the results of the Winter Festival Competition." Avni pressed her chin lightly with her fingers and recalled.

"There used to be large-scale ones, but after the crackdown by the Federal Inquisition, they are now small-scale and ordinary people can't find them."

"Her Highness Emuralin is particularly disgusted with gambling and addictive drugs. Under her influence, the Inquisition has continued its style of severe crackdowns in the past few hundred years."

"Even products such as lottery tickets are now banned in many star regions of the Federation."

"However, there is currently an open and transparent lottery system. For example, before this winter festival competition, all residents can buy lottery tickets for various academies online. If the academy wins, it will receive a set of gifts, including a cloak with the academy emblem, a commemorative album, small ornaments, etc. If the academy does not win, there will also be consolation souvenirs, such as a commemorative album and the academy's winter festival greetings."

"Unlike lottery, the lottery system clearly stipulates that the value of the prize shall not exceed ten times the face value of the lottery ticket, and the value of the consolation product shall not be less than one-quarter of the face value of the lottery ticket."

"It is a means of selling peripherals to promote sales and increase fun."

"I'm back. What are you talking about? Are these lottery tickets? I bought them all. I collected all the tickets from the six academies~" Ruby's voice suddenly appeared from behind the three people, and then she poked her head out and rubbed against Tilan.

"Since I got rich, I buy them every year, because this is also a kind of personality setting, which can show everyone that I am a loyal fan~" Ruby talked about the little tricks of idol personality setting.

"When idols behave so devoutly, fans will gradually be affected. That is to say, when I release peripheral products in the future, they will also buy and collect them all as souvenirs~"

"You really put a lot of thought into it." The other three joked with amusement, and then Ruby turned her chair and sat next to the three.

"Why are you back now? Didn't you say you would show up in front of the fans?" Avni asked curiously.

"That was the opening, and now everyone's attention is all on discussing the new star. The competition is coming to an end, and there is nothing particularly attractive, so I came back early." Ruby said, crossing her arm over Dolores, reaching for the popcorn bucket in Tilan's arms, grabbing a handful, and then eating in small bites.

"I'm a little hungry, too. I've been losing weight recently, so I've been eating less."

"You don't have to lose weight, do you?" Dolores didn't understand.

"It's necessary. Although I'm not fat, if I wear a belly-baring short-sleeved shirt, I can't have fat on my abdomen. Summer is coming to the South District 1, and I have to take photos of myself in a swimsuit on the beach during this vacation. My figure is very important." Ruby shook her finger, saying that being an idol is not a simple and easy thing.

"The beach..." Dolores thought of something and looked at Tilan beside her.

Tilan, who noticed something was wrong, pretended not to hear and continued to talk about other topics.

"I'm going to go on stage tomorrow."

"Come on, Tilan~ It would be great if you can take a photo with me tomorrow, so that I can also take advantage of Tilan's popularity." Ruby raised her hand and expressed her wish.

Although she is also an idol with a certain popularity, compared with the rare species of singing girls, her fan base is still too small. Only a small part of the young group likes her, but the influence of singing girls is not age-specific. From elementary school children to elderly people in their eighties, most of them know the names of several singing girls in the Federation today, or have heard of their works.

"It feels so fresh to take advantage of popularity." This is the first time Tilan has faced such a situation. She had only heard about it before.

While the four of them were chatting, today's competition in the venue slowly came to an end. Compared with the opening situation, the result ratio did not change much.

Among the 24 candidates, 8 were from Saint Ingo, 6 were from Edes, 4 were from Swarm of Bees, 3 were from Crystal Grid, 2 were from Lelisa, and 1 was from Thunderbolt.

The night passed, and the next day the Internet was full of various discussions. The attention paid to this Winter Festival Competition was also rising steadily, far exceeding the situation in previous years.

"Who will win, the upset in this competition"

"Not just Levito, those players who advanced to the competition quietly"

"Can Saint Ingo still hold the first place" "

The eldest lady of Swarm of Bees, Luligotta's gorgeous performance"

"The bloody sickle that killed through the competition, Stacia's battle clip"

"The yellow and green two-color butterfly, Saint Ingo's gorgeous dance"

"The flame spear that fell from the sky, Levito"

"The magic improvement and new technology analysis of Crystal Grid Academy"

"The love and hatred between the six major campuses"

Under each topic, there are various discussions. It happened to be a holiday, and as the topic spread, more and more people began to passively pay attention to this year's Winter Festival Competition.

——————

The next evening, the venue of the competition was not fully open yet, but the members of each academy had already arrived and were preparing in their respective areas.

"Are there only ten of us?" Tilan looked at the familiar faces in front of her, recalling their names and their respective strengths.

"Yes, there are a total of 48 contestants today. Compared with the past, it is a good improvement to have ten people enter the fourth round." Teacher N walked over and told Tilan not to be too harsh.

"The few people who were injured yesterday have been cured and basically recovered. Although I also want to say something to cheer them up, it seems that you prefer to listen to what Tilan has to say."

As the team leader, N clapped his hands and simply gave up his position, allowing Tilan to step onto the small platform. Today, Tilan wore a simple white dress and black tights, which outlined her beautiful figure. Her legs were slender without a trace of fat. The black slightly transparent stockings set off the snow-white dress, which had a different beauty. The simple black and white color scheme far exceeded the impact of other luxurious dresses.

Looking at the pairs of bright and expectant eyes below, the girl wanted to say something encouraging, but she didn't want to say anything proud and boastful, which was not in line with her character.

Shaking her head slightly, getting rid of some nervousness and shyness, the girl took a breath, and then spoke.

"Fight well today, and there will be rewards if you win."

With just this sentence, the whole audience burst into warm cheers, not only from the other nine people participating in the competition, but also from the many curious students watching behind.

So, in a continuous cheering, screaming and whistling, Tilan led the students behind her into the venue. At this moment, the outside was already full of people, and students from various universities also entered one after another.

"Ladies and gentlemen~ Welcome to the third night of the Winter Festival Competition. Tonight, we will witness the fourth round of the individual competition and reveal the hidden seeded players of each university. I believe you have been looking forward to it for a long time. There is no time to waste, let me introduce them to you!"

Countless lights swayed and turned in the venue, and then the warm and rapid background music suddenly stopped, and all the lights gathered at the front desk of Thunder Front Academy.

"The elites of Thunder Front, they are Sweetway, Kragon, Fu Yuwu, and Noah!"

In front of a group of students in dark blue uniforms, standing straight like spears, four students with lightning and long sword emblems on their arms stood, their eyes firm.

After a few seconds of light and music, a figure wearing a broad-shouldered cloak walked out, and then in the background music, the violin sounded, and the students standing upright turned to face each other, leaving a path in the middle for him to walk slowly, like a general passing through a loyal and elite array of soldiers.

"And their leader who is united as one, Flame Spear Levito!"

This figure, with countless lights gathered, stood in front of the stage, slowly raised his head, revealing the golden pupils under the brim of his hat, and then a spiral spear shot out from the sky, inserted into the ground in front of him, held by him, and then pressed into the ground until the tail of the spear was flush with his chest.

"Thunder of Victory!"

"Thunder of Victory!" The students behind him also shouted in unison, with a powerful and shocking voice.

As expected of a military academy, the opening of Thunderbolt raised the atmosphere of the entire venue to a boiling point. Although the number of people entering the fourth round this time was the smallest, such a scene still made many teenagers in front of the TV excited, and regarded Thunderbolt as an ideal school to apply for in the future.

After introducing Thunderbolt, the lights in the venue slowly dimmed again, and then the music sounded again. This time the background sound was more holy and ethereal. Then the light golden light fell from the sky and intersected at the front desk of Leisha Academy.

A nun with white cloth on her eyes walked onto the stage, holding a copper candle holder like a horizontal scale in their hands. There was a white burning candle in the middle.

The golden flames swayed, and in the dim and flickering light and shadow, one by one, the students in holy white robes walked onto the stage. The six of them held the holy cross sword and formed an outward-facing circle. In the middle of the circle, the emblem of angel wings lit up.

Beauty, equality, and holiness, the three major concepts of Leisha Academy, which are also the beliefs of the mainstream church today, shine at this moment.

Seraphiel, who was at the front, slowly opened her bright blue eyes, then slowly took off her hood, and bits of golden meteor sand fell from the sky.

"Praise be to you, the holy guide, the miracle blessed by thousands of stars, the eternal cradle wings, His Highness Loranhill."
