Huacheng has many schools, and Yaotian High School is considered one of the more famous ones.
Naturally, there are many outstanding young talents within the school. Some say that if an advertising billboard fell on Yaotian Academy and hit ten people, at least nine of them would be champions.
Many students come from prominent families, so it's an unspoken rule among Huacheng High School students—
At the school, family background is not considered; only the ability to tame beasts matters.
In essence, a beast tamer's strength translates into rankings and achievements on paper.
Grades and rankings determine a student's treatment on campus, and this is also reflected in club activities.
"Where does our association rank?" Cheng Huaijin asked.
Sed cleared his throat awkwardly: "I just got the latest rankings, you can take a look. They'll be released on Huagao at 8 PM tonight."
【Hua Gao】 is a StarNet discussion forum built by high school students in Huacheng City. Only registered students of Huacheng City can log in.
Victoria opened the long roll of parchment, and Cheng Huaiji started counting from the first name down...
"111th place, Huacheng Yaotian High School - Ancient Pet Beast Research Association..."
Cheng Huaijin saw the last place: "There are only 123 clubs in total, and we're ranked 111th? How did they get ranked like this?"
Luo Weiqin sprayed disinfectant on the parchment, saying as he did so, "Based on the annual performance scores of each association, our association had no achievements last year, so naturally we are ranked at the bottom."
Victoria didn't seem to care: "111 is great, being number one for life! I think this ranking is good, not bad at all~"
"Not bad my foot! It takes half an hour to walk here every time! Flying is not allowed on campus, and they've given us this desolate, uninhabited area. It's really inconvenient, okay?" Luo Weiqin complained.
Victoria immediately retorted, "That's because you're too fussy! You have to disinfect every few steps, how can you be slow? Look at me, I ran all the way here, and it only took me ten minutes each time..."
The two argued endlessly, but Cheng Huaijin, a newcomer, had already gotten somewhat used to it.
Said rubbed his head and advised, "Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. I invited Cheng Huaijin here to help our association improve its ranking!"
"Me?" Cheng Huaijin pointed to himself and asked in confusion.
Ced nodded: "Of course! I've seen your beast-taming skills; they're second to none in Flower City. Besides, now that you have the Wood Dragon, defeating them will be a piece of cake, won't it?"
Cheng Huaijin: "But Mulong is resting and can't come out recently."
“…That’s alright.” Seid continued, “With your strength, Little Iron Tiger and Xue Bingna are more than enough!”
Victoria raised her hand: "I have a question."
"Speaking."
"Chengcheng, you only have three pets?"
Victoria is quite outgoing... Cheng Huaijin nodded: "Yes, I only have three pets."
"A level two beast tamer?"
"right."
Luo Weiqin and Victoria fell silent.
"I think I should go play in the competition. Winning a few more first places will improve my score a lot."
“I think you’re right, I’ll sign up for the Grand Competition.” The two were about to leave when Ced pressed them down with one hand each.
"Don't participate in any other competitions; focus on preparing for this one."
Luo Weiqin and Victoria looked at the projected invitation and read it aloud in unison: "The Flower City Hundred Clubs Championship?"
The Huacheng Hundred Clubs Competition is the largest club competition in Huacheng City, with the most participating schools.
The competition is open to all high school clubs, who must register independently and compete in three categories: combat, style, and knowledge.
The competition is divided into four ranking lists: Battle Ranking, Brilliance Ranking, Knowledge Ranking, and Overall Ranking. Clubs will receive bonus points based on their ranking on these lists.
Because this competition involves many schools and offers substantial point rewards, there's a saying that "the top-ranked organization in the overall standings is guaranteed to be the top-ranked club in the annual club standings."
"With Cheng Huaijin joining us this time, we are determined to win the championship!" Said said confidently.
Cheng Huaijin raised his hand: "Wait, I don't understand the situation yet. What does our association do? What combat styles do we all specialize in? How are the matches conducted? How are the points calculated? I..."
"Leave the match analysis to me." Zeng Zhaoying appeared out of nowhere, holding the same notebook she had from years ago. She snapped her fingers, and instantly all the lights in the hall went out, revealing a highly technological screen to Cheng Huaijin.
"The competition is divided into three groups: Combat, Style, and Knowledge, and adopts the universal interstellar competition mechanism..."
The battle group is best-of-three. The first two rounds are 1v1 singles battles, and the third round is a 2v2 doubles battle. In the 1v1 match, each player can field a maximum of 3 pets, taking turns fighting. In the 2v2 match, each side fields two Beastmasters, with each player fielding one pet.
In the Grandeur category, participating clubs can send a maximum of three Beast Tamers to compete. The Grandeur competition uses a judging system, with scores based on five aspects: pet appearance, audience appeal, skill grandeur, skill difficulty, and the storytelling aspect of the skill demonstration.
In the knowledge group, each participating club can send a maximum of two Beast Tamers to compete in a knowledge competition as a team. The first round is a self-answered round with 500 pet-related questions. There is no time limit. The first 50 clubs to finish answering the questions will be selected based on their speed. Clubs with a correct answer rate below 80% will be eliminated, and the next highest-scoring club will be selected. The second round uses a buzzer-style system. Participants use their pets to gain the right to answer. The winner can answer the question; correct answers earn points, and incorrect answers deduct points.
"It's quite complicated." Cheng Huaijin stroked his chin.
Zeng Zhaoying smiled and said, "This is how we arrange our troops."
