"Okay, get ready, the competition is about to begin. I wish you good luck and hope you get a good result. If you don't get a good result, that's okay. Just treat this competition as a test. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." The instructor comforted Chu Yao and the other four.

After the instructor finished giving the instructions, he and the professor left the backstage and went to the audience seats to watch the game.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Lu Ranran kept encouraging herself, trying to appear less nervous.

Among the three boys, Xu Cen was a little nervous, but when he saw the talented girl Lu Ranran muttering, he thought it was cute and actually forgot about being nervous.

"Ranran, follow me. Come on, take a deep breath, then exhale slowly. Repeat this a few times, and you won't be so nervous anymore."

Lu Ranran tried it several times according to Chu Yao's method, and sure enough, she was not so nervous anymore. Students from other schools in the background heard what Chu Yao said, and slowly tried to do it several times, and it actually worked.

I don’t know which school this beautiful girl is from, but she really helped them a lot.

For a moment, let’s see which school this beautiful girl is from.

"Chu Yao, thank you so much. Now I won't be afraid when I have tense moments in the future."

"Keep your current state, and remember this feeling when you get on stage."

Lu Ranran nodded happily.

At this time, someone notified all the contestants to enter the examination room, and the exam would start in ten minutes.

The examination room is in a classroom, and there are three invigilators alone, so they really take every aspect into consideration.

Some students who are not mentally strong have already had cold sweat on their foreheads.

The five people from Kyoto University were all separated, and the people around Chu Yao were all from other schools, and she didn't know any of them.

The exam was not two and a half hours like in previous years. This time it was only half an hour. There were two more exams after this one, so the time schedule was a bit tight.

Chu Yao took a quick glance at the test paper to get a clear idea of ​​what was going on, and then began to answer the questions seriously.

Time always passes quickly when you are serious. By the time Chu Yao put down the pen, there were still more than ten minutes left before the end.

Chu Yao carefully checked her test paper several times, then raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to hand it in.

Some students in the examination room who were not very strong-minded became panicked when they saw Chu Yao handing in her paper, and they wished they had two more hands.

After Chu Yao took care of her physical needs, she went backstage to rest before giving her speech.

There were still some candidates who handed in their papers at this time. Among them was a boy who looked very bookish. He seemed a little surprised to see Chu Yao come in, but then he controlled his expression and nodded at Chu Yao with a smile. Chu Yao also smiled politely.

The candidates who had left the examination room came in one after another. Some were happy, while some hung their heads, as if they knew that their results were not ideal.

After a while, Lu Ranran came in with Xu Cen, Li Li and Wang Dao. Chu Yao looked at their expressions and they didn't seem so serious. Chu Yao knew that they were still very strong. After all, they had fought each other when they were in school.

Half a quarter of an hour later, someone came over and announced the elimination of the contestants.

Chu Yao made a rough note and estimated that there were about two hundred students participating in the competition, which was probably all the contestants from Kyoto.

But they didn't expect that the written test, which was only a preliminary test, had already eliminated nearly a hundred people. This proportion is too large.

Li Li, Lu Ranran, Xu Cen, Wang Dao and Chu Yao looked at each other, with surprise and a spirit of not wanting to admit defeat in their eyes.

Some of those who were eliminated were depressed and some were crying, but those who stayed were also feeling heavy-hearted.

They had heard from their instructors and professors that this competition was to select the best English students in Kyoto. There were only ten spots available, and only these ten could enter the national competition with students from other cities.

You can imagine how fierce the competition is. Chu Yao and the others didn't know about the national competition. They thought they only needed to participate in this competition. They vaguely heard about the national competition from students from surrounding schools, but they didn't have time to find their mentors and professors.

"The eliminated students please leave the backstage as soon as possible. The remaining contestants please rest for ten minutes. We will proceed to the next competition after ten minutes."

After hearing what the teacher and host said, Chu Yao closed her eyes and took a rest.

Ten minutes later.

Someone notified the contestants to draw lots, and then they would compete according to the numbers they drew.

Chu Yao was lucky enough to draw the number ten. The bookish boy who greeted Chu Yao drew one. Xu Cen drew eighteen, Li Li drew twenty-five, Lu Ranran drew thirty, and Wang Dao drew fifty.

The time Chu Yao's school got to perform in the competition was not ideal. You know, the judges and the audience will get tired as time goes on, so it will be difficult to perform well.

Although each person only has ten minutes to speak, there are nearly a hundred candidates left, and the total time is enormous.

Chu Yao and the others didn't know how to comfort Wang Dao.

On the contrary, Wang Dao was more open-minded and said, "It's just right that I can see other people's abilities the day after tomorrow and estimate the judges' questions. Thinking this way, I will be more confident." Wang Dao said with a smile.

Li Li and Xu Cen patted Wang Dao on the shoulders, and Chu Yao and Lu Ranran made a cheering gesture to Wang Dao.
