Phantom Flying Sword" or Art of Empathic Connection"?
Seeing the girl's hesitation, the two waited for a long time. It was as if they had suddenly received some kind of instruction and they made a decision together.
"How about learning them all and seeing which one suits you better?" they suggested.
"But, doesn't the rule say that you can only learn one subject?" Sylutia touched his fingers lightly, looked away, and asked a little embarrassedly.
"Normally speaking, you can only learn one subject, but there are also some other channels and methods to obtain qualifications for learning one more subject."
"Come with us." With that said, the senior took Sylutia's hand and walked out of the library.
"Today there is a competition event held at Hall of Hanging Threads, which is divided into different levels. Although you are not a student of this college, as a visitor, you can also participate in the easiest level."
"In this category, the highest level of contestants can't exceed level three, and as long as you finish in the top eight, you can get the qualification to learn an additional secret skill." She said as she walked.
"There is such an event, thank you, senior sister." Sylutia nodded gratefully, wondering if such a competition would be difficult.
If she doesn't stick to the Mage faction's abilities and methods, and switches Aspect Power and professions at will, then even if she is only at the second level now, she can defeat many third-level opponents.
But now she can't reveal her identity, so the result is difficult to predict. After all, if Aspect Power is bigger than First Order, there will be a very big gap, especially if Rorick Academy can come here, they are all elites among their peers.
After the three of them walked out of the library, they saw the old lady who was with her granddaughter in the hall. She was surprised when the three of them walked out in a hurry. They were discussing the way forward with Ticis.
"What's going on? You're so anxious?" She saw that Sylutia didn't look like he had chosen a secret skill and was ready to learn it.
Facing the old lady's inquiry, the three of them explained it. Before they could answer, Ticis on the side said that he wanted to take a look.
Seeing that her granddaughter wanted to go very much, she had no choice but to agree, so the five of them went to Arena, which was not far away. Fortunately, it was not too far from here, only about 800 meters.
More than ten minutes later, several people arrived here. There were already many students and guests gathered in the battle arena. Some of them were sitting in the auditorium to watch, while others signed up to participate in the competition of their choice.
After bringing Sylutia to the registration office, the two explained the situation and the registration officer nodded.
"It turns out that she is a little sister who has not yet entered school. In this case, she can only participate in Freshman Tournament, which is the competition that students of this school who have been in school for less than two years and apprentices who have not entered any Academy can participate."
"A total of 64 people will participate in this round, and there will be a knockout round. If you can survive to the last eight, you will get rewards. Of course, the higher the ranking, the richer the rewards."
"Now the first round of competition has started, and registration for the second round is still in process. It will start in about half an hour."
Although there are 64 people in a round, as long as you defeat three opponents, you can enter the quarterfinals. In fact, there is a lot of luck. However, such competitions are originally intended to stimulate students' motivation to learn, and they do not necessarily have to be ranked very accurately based on everyone's performance.
Luck plays a big part, which also makes the game more interesting. Even those who are not strong enough can still have a little hope.
After registering for Sylutia, the five of them came to the auditorium to wait. Only then did Sylutia learn the identities of the two seniors from the chat.
"My name is Dicas. I am currently a first-class student of Shadow Star. It has been five years since I entered Rorick Academy."
The "Shadow Star first class" he mentioned is the class divided into third-level members in the Academy. Starting from the fifth-level Shadow Star who just entered the school, they will be gradually promoted according to their completed contributions, mastered spells, and improvement in strength. If they are promoted to the fourth level, they will be Gold Star The fifth class is "to Gold Star first class", as for Fifth Order, it is Rose the third class is "to Rose first class", and the next Sixth Order is the professor and strong core member of the Academy.
Sylutia didn't feel much after listening to it, but when the old lady on the side heard that both of them were "Shadow Star first class", her expression changed slightly, and she saw that the two of them were particularly enthusiastic about Sylutia, and she seemed to have guessed something.
Arena is now divided into four large block grids, and battles are carried out simultaneously. In this way, even if a game ends or is not exciting, the audience can immediately change their line of sight to watch the battle in a block grid.
Sitting in the audience, Sylutia discovered that most of the people participating in Freshman Tournament were of the third level, among which there were only a few people of the second level, and their performance was not good.
If you think about it carefully, this is normal. If you can easily fight across the level gap, then there won't be so many people who are so obsessed with advancing to a higher level.
Half an hour passed quickly. After the winner of the first round was decided, the second round officially began.
Xilu Tia also arrived at the special waiting room and got a sign with her own number.
"Hedra, No. 47." After taking it, Sylutia imitated others and tied the sign around his waist.
The game goes very quickly, and the winner can be decided in basically two minutes. Excluding the upper and lower games, it only lasts 4-5 minutes.
"Participant No. 47 will face contestant No. 48, enter now." Hearing the referee's voice outside, Sylutia packed up his clothes and walked into the battle arena.
Although it was already late at night, the lights here were brightly lit, and the huge torches surrounding the battle field illuminated the environment very brightly.
Sylutia saw a few people cheering for him on the stage in the distance, nodded, and then turned to his opponent, who was wearing a black uniform and looked like Rorick Academy's new student.
Neither of them had weapons in their hands. It looked like a pure Mage fight. After the host announced the start, the other party took out a handful of strange powder and sprinkled it into the air. Then two pale and phantom vicious dogs took shape, and then rushed towards Sylutia.
Although he looks ferocious, he doesn't look very strong, the girl commented secretly in her mind.
[Bone Spirit Hound] (Level 2·Dead Ember), the creature summoned by the spell has a limited duration, its body is semi-insubstantial, and its speed is extremely fast.
Although the strength is limited, the evaluation of extremely fast speed is indeed correct. The two started fighting 40 meters apart and rushed in front of them in the blink of an eye. If Sylutia was the kind of student whose spells were slow to activate, he might have to admit defeat on the spot.
Facing the two vicious dogs that were attacking like the wind, Sylutia opened her hands, and several threads appeared beside her. After floating and opening, they strangled the two vicious dogs and cut them into several pieces in an instant.
The destroyed Bone Spirit Hound turned into fluorescent powder in the air, and then under the control of the opposite party Mage, it tried to condense and form again, but Sylutia did not give the opponent this chance, but continued to expand and arrange the silk threads, interfering with the opponent's control.
A few seconds later, Bone Spirit Hound"'s opponent, who was unable to regroup, was entangled in the incoming threads and surrendered.
"No. 47 wins!"
After the game, he loosened his tight collar, shook his head, walked off the stage, and complained to his companions not far away.
"I was careless. I originally thought that the opponent was a second-level student, so I was caught off guard and won directly."
He is a third-level Mage. Theoretically, he can also summon a third-level creature to fight, but it will take much longer. In the process, there is a risk of being defeated by a low-level opponent with a quick attack, so he chose the tactic of summoning the extremely fast Bone Spirit Hound.
"Haha, it's okay. I can participate again in a few months. Freshman Tournament does this several times every year." Several companions comforted him and walked off the stage with a smile. One of them gave Sylutia a thumbs up to express his praise.
The atmosphere is very friendly, the girl thought to herself.
