The Phoenix Festa Begins

"William, what's wrong?"

Zhao Hufeng looked at William, who suddenly got up from the sofa, and asked him with some confusion.

"My speech is almost over, it's my turn to go on stage!"

"Alright, let's begin the first match of the 'Phoenix Festa' from 32 to 16!"

Mesa opened his arms and declared loudly.

A thunderous applause erupted from the audience, its enthusiastic response rivaling even the atmosphere created by Silvia's earlier performance.

"Then the next part of the live broadcast will be brought to you by Yanase Miko, the announcer from Hexagram Broadcasting Company."

"The narrator is Ms. Fang Tingchang, a graduate of the Jielong Seventh Academy and the current Minister of the Administration Department, Al-Ayad."

Two young girls' voices came from the live broadcast booth, their youthful and beautiful voices spreading throughout the venue through the speakers.

"Now, please welcome our two contestants to the stage!"

The columnar buildings on the east and west sides, like drawbridges over an ancient moat, were activated to form a connecting bridge with the main stage.

Countless spotlights simultaneously shone on the entrances of the two contestants, and their faces appeared on the huge viewing window of the central stage.

The black-haired, spiky student from Allekant Academy on the east side appeared relatively normal.

The audience members in the stands gave a token round of applause!

But when the man from the west, wearing the Jielong uniform and with short blond hair, appeared...

The atmosphere at the scene immediately ignited like fireworks, with the screams from the girls in the audience completely drowning out the applause from the boys.

"Oh my! As expected of Spengler! He's as popular as ever!"

"This is William Spengler from the Seventh Academy of the Jielong!"

"There is no ranking system in Jielong, but they all easily passed the preliminary rounds!"

"His formidable strength and handsome appearance have even led the girls of Asterisk to subtly rank him as the most popular boy!"

Yanase Miko said with a look of admiration, while covering her chest with her hand, pretending to be completely captivated.

"I also regret this!"

"When I found out I would be commentating on this match, I specifically went back to inquire about it."

"However, the only information we have is that Spengler only officially started attending classes at Jielong two weeks ago."

"It seems like the previous Spengler classmate was always traveling around."

Fang Tingchang scratched her hair, looking very troubled.

She hadn't seen a contestant with so little information in many years.

She even went out of her way to invite that annoying guy from the administration department to dinner so that her explanation would be more effective.

The information she received was not something she could speak of lightly; at least, she wouldn't dare to say anything without approval from above.

"Alright! Now let's take a closer look at Mr. Spengler's opponent!"

"Moritz Neisler, affiliated with the [unclear - possibly a company name], is a member of the [unclear - possibly a company name]..."

"Wow! It looks like this is going to be a fierce battle!"

Regardless of who you are, you generally have a high level of confidence in the strength of the Twelve Apostles from each school, even though Moritz's journey to the top 32 was not easy.

But no one doubts his abilities.

Moreover, this year was his first time participating in the Festas, and to achieve such good results on his first try makes his future something to look forward to.

The way this match was arranged was also due to the organizers' own ulterior motives.

While the diva is responsible for wrapping up the final show to ensure high ratings, this guy, whose popularity is skyrocketing, will be in charge of opening the show and heating up the atmosphere.

However, the first match ended too quickly and lacked any real entertainment value.

That's why they assigned him a player who, in their view, would be slightly troublesome for William, but wouldn't affect his chances of winning.

"Hmph! It's really annoying that a mere pretty boy is attracting so much attention."

With his black hair standing on end, Moritz looked somewhat like a withered tree, but his gaze was exceptionally sharp.

His tone was polite, and his uniform was neatly worn without a single crease.

This is quite a rare occurrence in Allekant, a school known for its chaotic and open atmosphere.

Although he was just a runner-up among the starting twelve, he was still one of Allekant's starting twelve!

Such a being was overshadowed by an outsider to the order of the Jielong; how could he not complain!

What really infuriated him was the guy's lazy attitude!

Are they looking down on him?

"Now, let the competition begin!"

The signal to start the game came from the broadcasting room, and the school badges on Moritz and William simultaneously shone brightly.

Moritz, whose forehead veins were already bulging, charged straight at William.

The sudden gust of air also wrapped around his hands, forming a triangular cone resembling a drill bit.

This is Moritz's ability as a magician—to create a "Storm Spiral" that can lift anything up.

Although this ability is very troublesome to use, in terms of destructive power alone, it can definitely be called a top-tier ability in Le Wolfe.

The whirlwind on the drill bit spun faster and faster, the wind howling, and the powerful airflow left no doubt that if this attack were to hit anyone, serious injury would be the least of their worries.
