The next morning, Gu Shi and his companions gathered at the door at the urging of their instructors. Under the guidance of the guide sent by the Royal Academy, they headed to the Igrit Royal Academy of Magic together.
As a magic academy funded by the royal family and attended by many aristocratic children, the architectural style of the Igrit Royal Academy of Magic is very different from that of the Congleton Academy of Magic.
This place is more like an exquisite and luxurious palace than a college.
The surrounding environment, coupled with the brightly dressed students in the academy, made Gu Shi and his group of visitors in robes look like they had accidentally walked into a banquet.
"Everyone from Congleton, please follow me. This is our college..."
The tutor of the Royal Academy had obviously planned the route in advance and led them all the way from the gate to the interior of the academy.
During this period, Gu Shi and his team met a group of students who were taking classes in the training ground. The tutor of the Royal Academy deliberately stopped for a while to let them see the mental state of their students and secretly praised them.
Gu Shi had attended so many open classes since he was a child that he could tell at a glance that these students were performing according to a script. Could ordinary classes achieve this effect? He didn't believe it anyway.
If it were a normal class, there would always be one or two students who would be distracted among so many students.
The first half of the trip was uneventful. The tutors from the Royal Academy took them to visit various venues in the academy, such as the meditation room, training ground, etc., and warmly invited them to try it out for themselves.
The students who came to visit were also very considerate and tried out all the facilities according to the instructions of the Royal College tutors.
He didn't know if it was Gu Shi's illusion, but he always felt that this tutor from the Royal Academy had an inexplicable sense of superiority when introducing these facilities to them.
But Congleton does have these things. At most, the ones at the Royal Academy are newer because they are frequently upgraded.
However, Gu Shi could understand the instructor's feelings. After all, Congleton School of Magic and Igrit Royal School of Magic, as the two top magic academies in the Igrit Empire, were always compared together. It was quite normal for the instructor to have such a comparative idea.
Of course, Gu Shi and his companions ran into some students from the Royal Academy on their way to visit, but there was no chance for direct contact between the two sides, and they could only cast curious glances at each other.
But not everyone's attitude was friendly. During the few days of visiting, Gu Shi saw a student he didn't know staring at him with disgust several times.
Gu Shi was also confused by his behavior. Gu Shi had only been to the royal city twice and had never offended anyone. He had no idea what was going on with this guy.
After confirming that he had never seen this student before, Gu Shi put him out of his mind. Even if he saw him staring at him with that kind of eyes again, Gu Shi would pretend not to see it. Why should he ruin his mood because of such a person?
On the sixth day of the exchange activity, the long-awaited battle session of the students finally kicked off.
Gu Shi and his companions were taken to the battle field prepared in advance by the Royal Academy, where students and tutors from the Royal Academy were already waiting for them.
Gu Shi immediately noticed the student who had been staring at him in the crowd, mainly because his malice was too obvious and he didn't look very smart.
Gu Shi ignored this person as usual.
"Welcome everyone from Congleton School of Magic..."
A senior leader from the Royal Academy came to the stage and began his speech. Gu Shi did not expect that he would experience the familiar leader's speech in this different world.
The long and boring speech lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Few students in the audience were listening carefully. Basically, their minds were empty and their thoughts had flown away to who knows where.
Gu Shi finally managed to wait until the speech was over, and the battle session officially began.
The first to come on stage to fight were a mage instructor from the Royal Academy and their team leader, Instructor Buster.
The powerful spells of the two high-level wizards instantly ignited the atmosphere on the battlefield, and many students couldn't help but cheer for themselves.
The two fighting instructors also tried their best, because both sides knew that the purpose of this battle was to arouse the students' emotions, so they chose to use some more spectacular spells to make the battle look more exciting.
After a flashy magic battle, the two tacitly chose a draw as the outcome and left the competition arena.
After leaving the stage, Instructor Buster said to the students standing beside him, "Everyone, please listen to my subsequent arrangements.
In the following period, you can freely team up with students from the Royal Academy to compete against each other, so as to communicate and enhance the relationship between the two academies.
However, the fights must be conducted on the ring. Private fights are not allowed in other places. There will be instructors watching over the five rings here. Everyone should line up and go on stage and be sure to abide by the rules.
I repeat, private fighting is not allowed. If you are caught, you will be punished. Do you understand? "
The students below responded in unison: "I heard it."
"Okay, everyone, feel free to move around."
After getting permission from Instructor Buster, the students immediately scattered and began looking for their opponents.
The students of the Royal Academy had obviously been instructed in advance and were eagerly awaiting the challenge from their opponents.
Within a few minutes, many people lined up beside the five arenas.
Wendel, who was originally standing with Gu Shi, received a challenge from an acquaintance. He had been eager to take action and naturally would not miss this opportunity. He immediately lined up with that person at the side of the ring.
Because of the heated atmosphere, Gu Shi couldn't help but want to have a fight with others.
But when he thought about how his strength far surpassed that of others, his thoughts were immediately extinguished. It would be more interesting to have a competition between two evenly matched people.
Fighting against an opponent who can be defeated with one move is not called sparring, that is called crushing.
Someone has just introduced that the mages from the Royal Academy who are fighting against Gu Shi and his team are students of the same grade as them, so the strongest one is probably only at the beginner level of the fourth level.
The level suppression of the three small levels is still very powerful, not to mention that Gu Shi's own strength is also first-class among the mages of the same level. The gap in strength between the two sides is still too big.
Thinking of this, Gu Shi gave up the idea of going up to fight himself, and instead walked to the side of the ring to watch the fights between other students.
