Chapter 365 Duel under the Moon
After the first visit, Heshia and Mel stayed in the Triphase Moon temporarily, on the one hand to visit the academy, and also to consider the future.
Many things are hard to predict what difficulties will be encountered before they are done. This visit also made Heshia learn a lot, and she felt more prepared and confident for the next few visits to the academies.
In the evening, after settling down, Heshia and Mel came out to meet Yimiti, and the three of them had dinner together in the restaurant by the river.
This restaurant is not big, and there are only two floors. A few students sat at the table, and some put books and props on the table, while studying and tinkering, waiting for dinner to be ready.
The lights in the hall are simulated medieval copper candle oil lamps, which are not bright. The flickering light can only illuminate the food and books on the table, and other places are slightly dim.
In the evening breeze, the three listened to the flowing water of the stream and talked about what happened today.
"Teacher Xiulin came to pick you up personally. This will definitely cause a lot of discussion if it gets out." Yimiti said about her surprise when she saw the great witch in the afternoon.
"Although she is also a teacher in the academy, she is different from ordinary teachers. She can be said to be one of the most influential people in the academy." Yimiti said the difference.
"The 'Witch Sect' currently has a total of 17 masters, and Teacher Xiulin is one of them. She is of a high generation, and some of the older witches in the academy are her disciples."
"Now the 'Witch Sect' also has a university, the 'Star Track Arcanum Academy', in the Mistletoe Star Field, where nearly ten masters of the 'Witch Sect' gather. However, since the death of the previous 'Star Witch' Psychotina, there has been no Sequence 8 in the sect, and now it is a little lacking in confidence."
Listening to Yimiti's narration, Heshia also checked the records in the federal database. When the 'Witch Sect' was at its peak, there were three top figures of Sequence 8, who also led the trend at the time, and countless young people yearned to follow them. However, later with the rise of the 'Silver Candle Saint' faction, the 'Witch Sect' was greatly impacted.
Unlike the multiple witches respected by the "Witch Cult", the "Silver Candle Saint" faction only follows that one princess, the witch who represents stars and miracles, and is also the most special witch. Some people think that the princess should not be listed with other witches, but should be taken out separately and placed under the title of "Angel" and "Saint".
Compared with the "witches" who follow their own personality release and are happy and angry, as the spiritual successor of the "Original Heart", or orthodoxy, the "Silver Candle Saint" faction is obviously much more conservative. The academies under their faction are generally church schools. Today's "Lelisa Academy" has people from the "Silver Candle Saint" faction stationed as teachers.
However, "Lelisa Academy" does not belong to the "Silver Candle Saint" alone, but is jointly supported and established by multiple church factions with similar ideas, and the "Silver Candle Saint" is just one of them.
While chatting with Yimiti, Tilan gradually understood the current situation of the Three-phase Moon Academy.
Its overall strength is OK. After all, the 'Witch Cult' has a rich foundation, and it has no shortage of various secrets and skills. However, since it was defeated by the 'Silver Candle Saint' in the previous 'Emenas' faction dispute, its momentum has slowly declined.
There are fewer and fewer students and juniors who practice this faction. After the base is low, there are fewer and fewer geniuses. Slowly, there are no such dazzling figures. After that, the popularity further declines, and the number of young people entering the faction to study continues to decrease, thus forming a vicious circle.
At the beginning, it was just a lack of genius, but with many years of no top figures to check and iterate and improve, the relevant secrets of the faction have gradually been caught up by the new technologies and theories of other sharp factions, and no longer have obvious advantages. This is the dilemma of the 'Witch Cult' today.
From the second place in the star field at the beginning, it took nearly a hundred years to gradually fall to the seventh and eighth, and then was thrown out of the first echelon, and then continued to decline until now it is hovering around the tenth place.
"In last year's winter selection, Tri-Moon Academy ranked 11th, which was okay, but the great witches in the academy seemed very dissatisfied with it." Yimiti talked about the feelings of the students.
Unlike the teachers, many students did not have such high expectations before coming to the academy. They felt very indifferent to this ranking, and were more pursuing individuality. However, for the members of the faction, this result was a bit embarrassing.
"Except for the top six famous schools, which are the other four academies in the top ten?" Tilan suddenly thought of this question. She had been looking at Edes and Saint Ingo, and had not paid attention to the academies in the second tier behind.
"Well, let me think about it." Mel tilted his head and counted on his fingers.
"The seventh this year should be Xisaiji Academy, which is an academy dedicated to training commercial and financial talents, and it has the support of many financial groups and large companies."
"The eighth is Xuanjian Academy (Four-leaf Crystal Branch), which is an academy directly under the Federal Central Council. Its main direction is to train government employees, and some graduates will also enter the Tribunal to work."
"The ninth is Muse Academy, which is the academy where many well-known actors, singers, and celebrities are located. Many child stars and children of celebrities in the Four-leaf Crystal star field will attend this academy."
"The tenth is Sage Academy (Four-leaf Crystal Branch), which was founded by the Medical Rescue Association and has branches in various star fields in the Federation."
Unlike the top six famous schools, most of the academies in the second tier emphasize professional specialization and require extremely high relevant grades and abilities. They are the ceiling that ordinary people without excellent talents can reach. Even so, students who can enter these academies generally have good family backgrounds, because the grades and abilities required to enter the school also require excellent educational resources.
In addition to the above four schools, many of the academies ranked 11-20 are also strong career-related academies, such as the 12th-ranked Hohaus Academy, which mainly trains industrial designers, the 14th-ranked Fasiting Academy, which mainly trains aesthetic talents, many of whom are also artists, the 15th-ranked Color Separation Board Academy, which majors in enchanted brand texturers, and the 17th-ranked Iridium Academy, which is also a specialized academy for trainers.
Some people may be curious about where the students will go in the future if the top six academies do not focus on a certain field or profession.
In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, that is, to go to college and continue to study.
Most of the students who can enter the top six academies are not bad in talent. With the blessing of extraordinary abilities, they can gain an advantage in the competition with ordinary people in any field. These students will be given higher expectations. Their future is not limited to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region, and they don’t have to worry about entering society to make money too early. They have more room to choose and wait and see.
This kind of recognition, pampering and tolerance by society is what countless peers desire and envy, but in the end only a few people can enjoy it. Many students have already stepped into society after entering high school and start to worry about their future after graduation.
Going to college is a luxury. Whether it is grades, ability, or tuition requirements, it makes ordinary people discouraged.
After finishing the first day of adaptation, Tilan and Mel's trip to the Tri-Moon quickly came to the second and third days.
During these two days, they followed Yimiti to visit the entire academy, and attended several classes arranged by their colleagues in the academy.
The educational environment of Tri-Moon is completely different from that of Edes. The students of Tri-Moon all live on campus, and students must be present for every class. This is because there are not many older and qualified witches, and they cannot split into several people to teach at any time. In order to save energy, students must be required to be on time for class.
Edes Academy is much richer and more powerful. Students can always find classrooms and teachers whenever they want to attend classes. Even in the middle of the night, there will be teaching instructors on duty. The educational resources are extremely abundant.
Although it is somewhat limited to have to be on time for class, it undoubtedly brings students closer together. It is easier to form friendships when you spend time together day and night, and of course it is easier to have conflicts, such as what Tilan is seeing at this moment.
"Yimiti! Don't let me look down on you in the blood sunflower forest tonight."
After class, the three were about to leave when a girl with short brown hair stopped Yimiti. She was thin, but her clothes exuded a sense of competence and boldness, which was very special among the witches.
After she finished speaking, the girl with short brown hair made a gesture, then turned around and left, followed by a companion.
"Who is she?" Mel was puzzled.
"She is my rival." Yimiti spread his hands helplessly.
"In the three-phase month, because of the different studies and concepts, it is easy to encounter situations where the concepts are not in line. According to the school spirit of our academy, witches are also self-centered. Generally speaking, they are all stubborn and no one will give in easily. This leads to quarrels and arguments every day."
"If you argue too much and get angry, you'll inevitably have to fight. What this guy just said to me means that we'll have a duel tonight, in the blood sunflower forest."
"What will happen if you lose?" Meier was curious.
"You'll be beaten up, and then you won't mention your opinions and views in front of her, and you'll be silent for a month." Yimiti said the school routine.
"If one day I feel I'm strong enough, I can come back and fight her again to make her bow her head."
"Her name is Sha Lin, she's a student in my class. We started arguing last year. It was in history class. The teacher was talking about the split between several witches in ancient times. My opinion was completely different from hers. Later, the argument became more and more intense, and then we had a conflict."
"We've fought a few times before, but we won and lost, because our strengths were not much different, and the unexpected factors accounted for a lot. Every time we narrowly lost or won, and no one was convinced."
"This time she took the initiative to find me, she must have learned some new moves and techniques and wanted to try them on me." Yimiti quickly analyzed the reason.
"Then is Yimiti confident that he can win?" Tilan became interested at this time.
"Well, it's hard to say. After all, I don't know what she has prepared. But I'm not a pushover. I've also grown stronger during this period."
"None of the students in our Three-phase Moon Academy are afraid of trouble. Even if there are, they have learned it after four years and are used to dealing with various conflicts. In fact, fighting is not a big deal. Occasionally, we will become friends because of it."
"Can we go to watch the game tonight?" Mel continued to ask.
"Of course, there will be several students in the class watching the game. In fact, watching the game is also a kind of learning."
"Then, Yimiti will prepare well today, and you don't have to accompany us in the afternoon."
After that, the three chatted a lot before they separated. Yimiti went to prepare in the afternoon, while Tilan and Mel went to the library of the academy to read the history and books of the academy to deepen their understanding.
...
Time quickly came to night. After dinner, Tilan and Mel came to the agreed blood sunflower forest. There were already several people gathered here, divided into two groups, each with 3-4 people, standing under the tree and talking in a low voice.
Yimiti hadn't arrived yet, but according to the message she sent, she would be there soon, so they asked the two to wait for a few minutes.
There was a white moon in the sky, and with the orange street lights not far away, the woods were not dark, but just a little cold.
The trees growing here are called blood sunflower dragon trees because the tree's skin is densely raised like a sunflower, very hard, and slightly thorny. When the tree grows taller, the bark near the roots cracks and curls up, just like dark red dragon scales, which is very special.
The school grows this kind of tree because the bark will be a ritual casting material after it matures and turns dark red. It can also be used in some potions after being ground into powder. However, this kind of thing is not scarce, so the school grows it in a free-range manner, and students occasionally scrape some for experiments without worrying about it.
"Hasn't it arrived yet? That guy is not scared." On the other side of the woods, several people whispered. Sha Lin was surrounded by them, and her eyes looked over here from time to time. Two of the witches were holding canes, and another was holding a black puppy.
On the side of Yimiti, which Tilan supported, there were also several students who had a good relationship with Yimiti. No one was in a hurry because Yimiti said they were almost there. They were just surprised and curious about the newcomers to the academy, Tilan and the others.
"Who are you?" One of them tried to greet them. She had slightly curly hair and fluffy ponytails on both sides. She wore a T-shirt and a jacket, and shorts and long socks.
"My name is Danterian, and I'm a student here for exchange and study." The girl lightly touched her chest to introduce herself.
"Oh, so that's the case. I said I hadn't seen you before." She blinked, and her dark gold hair glowed with a light silver glow under the moonlight.
"My name is Angel Jasmine, and I'm Yimiti's classmate. We've known each other since junior high school." After that, she continued to ask.
"Which school are you from?"
"Yuanting Academy, the school famous for trainers." Tilan continued to introduce, and then simply responded until two minutes later, Yimiti came to the woods.
"Huh, I'm here." She was sweating a little, and it seemed that she had sped up a little on the way.
Seeing her arrival, several acquaintances who were waiting surrounded her.
"Finally I've waited for you. How are you? How are your preparations?"
"No problem. I made a few potions temporarily and reinforced the magic tools. They are in great condition~" Yimiti patted his chest in front of his friends, and then nodded to Tilan and the others as a greeting.
Since both parties have arrived, there is no need to talk too much. Under the gaze of their companions, the two walked into the open space in the woods. After that, the students watching the battle on both sides also maintained a temporary barrier shield. As long as they were not hit head-on, some of the aftermath of the battle could be easily blocked.
"It's about to start."
"Are you ready?" The students on both sides confirmed again.
Under the moonlight, Sha Lin stood 20 meters in front of Yimiti, with her head slightly raised, allowing her face to be bathed in the moonlight. She wore dark green velvet gloves on her hands, and the complex patterns engraved on the back of her hands lit up one by one. The blood-red patterns were like the hideousness of a demon, mixed with complex ancient characters.
"Blood Moon Witch, Vermillion Bite."
Her originally brown eyes suddenly turned red, like a slowly flowing blood gem, especially obvious in the dark night. Then she moved, leaped up, crossed a huge arc, and rushed towards Yimiti, but there was no sound of wind breaking through the air in the middle, it was extremely smooth, as if there was no air resistance, and the blood pupils passed through the air, leaving two faint red lines.
Her slender legs danced upside down in the air, bathing in the cold moonlight, and then chopped down heavily, crushing the layers of oak shields that Yimiti had blocked in front of her, like destroying withered trees and rotten wood.
And just as a shield broke and split, Yimiti's face suddenly appeared. She stood there with a brass lantern in her left hand, and countless shining dust fell from her right hand.
"Oak Witch, Tree without Blood and Tear."
In the obscure spell, the dust was scattered in the wind, and behind Yimiti, the outline of an extremely tall giant tree slowly emerged. The cold tree seemed to wake up, exhaling cold air, slowly standing up, covering the entire venue in its shadow, and no moonlight could be seen. After sorting out the
outline, I got a lot of inspiration
