Saturday, nine o'clock sharp
In First District and Central Gymnasium, the flow of people at this time was unprecedentedly crowded. In order to ensure the safety of the crowd at the venue, traffic police from several surrounding blocks were dispatched here, and traffic control was implemented in the surrounding areas.
There was a helicopter hovering over the stadium, and reporters from Cloud City Daily were broadcasting the current situation to the audience in real time in front of the camera.
"Dear audience friends, this is Cloud City Daily. Today we are at the site of Magical Girl New Star Contest. Here, we will witness the birth of this new Magical Idol star. Look, everyone! Magical Girl are now here!"
The reporter's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the open-air gymnasium, where a group of gorgeously dressed girls were sitting in an exclusive seat designated in the stadium.
Molis is among them, accompanied by Xia Ya, and the girl Shan Que with slightly curly blond hair. Shan Que met Molis at a previous comic show. When they met again this time, and with the introduction of Xia Ya, the two became familiar with each other.
Since Fairy didn't have his own, after seeing Har, Shan Que extended his sinful little hand to Har with the consent of Xia Ya.
"Why does this feel like a sports meeting?"
Ignoring the crime scene behind him, Molis raised his head and glanced at the dense crowd in the auditorium. There were at least tens of thousands of people present.
"You can think so." Rabi on his shoulder suddenly said.
Then, it continued, "Do you need me to repeat the rules again?"
"No need..."
"New Star Competition is divided into two aspects: combat and performance, but in fact they are not completely separate. In short, it is to fight Monster, and the evaluation will be based on the overall performance of Magical Girl during the battle. However, this kind of battle is not as simple as defeating Monster. Things like Magical Girl's image, magic magnificence, the excitement of the battle with Monster, etc. will all affect the final comprehensive score."
"Only by defeating Monster first, the subsequent stage will open, and the final score will be based on the performance in Victory Stage."
As if he didn't hear Molis's rejection, Rabi went on to talk about New Star Competition's rules.
Molis expressed his confusion. Weren't these rules already introduced last night? Why did this guy suddenly tell them again? Who was he telling them to?
While the Magical Girls were waiting, in the center of the stadium, on a high white platform, the host wearing a suit, sunglasses, and slicked-back hair suddenly shouted to everyone with a microphone:
"Dear viewers at the scene and in front of the TV! In 2035, Magical Girl Nova Tournament officially opens! Here, countless rising stars will rise! Here, we will witness the birth of hope for the future of mankind!"
"This event will be broadcast simultaneously by Bilibili Video Network, Tengzi Video, and Douyin Short Video"
After the host finished speaking, the audience cheered like a tsunami, and when they heard the advertisement behind the other party, they booed again.
After a pause, the host held a card and continued into the microphone:
"Today, we are fortunate to have several well-known Magical Girl present as judges. They are all Top Tier in the industry, and their professionalism is obvious to all."
The host raised his hand to the exclusive judges' seat in front, where several Magical Girls were sitting. When the live camera zoomed in, several Magical Girls waved and said hello.
Seeing several Top Tier Magical Girl, the audience burst into cheers.
After the cheers passed, the host spoke again:
"In addition, we also have two judges representatives. Now, let us invite the judges representatives, known as Annual Top Ten Magical Girls, Magical Girl, Hong! Take the stage!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a tall and heroic girl appeared on the stage.
The girl has a high black ponytail with a dark red tip, and a pair of dark red eyes that are very heroic.
Inside, she wears a simple black lining, a simple three-quarter skirt, and a pair of dark brown high boots. A military-style uniform jacket is draped over her shoulders, and a horizontally long and vertically short diamond-shaped red star is pinned to the left collar of the jacket.
The military uniform jacket she wore seemed to violate the laws of physics and would not slip off no matter how the girl moved.
After seeing the person coming, the audience at the scene and even watching the live broadcast immediately became excited.
"It turned out to be... Magical Girl Rainbow!"
Among the rising stars Magical Girl, someone let out a burst of exclamation.
Molis tilted his head and humbly asked Xia Ya, "Who is Hong?"
"Don't you know Molis? That is one of the legendary Annual Top Ten Magical Girls, and it is also a Permanent Top Ten Magical Girl."
Xia Ya looked at the tall figure on the stage with longing in his eyes, and gave a timely explanation after hearing Molis's question.
"Permanent Top Ten? What does this mean?" Molis continued to ask like a curious baby.
Xia Ya thought for a moment and then explained:
"Well, you should know that Top Ten of the Year will be selected once a year, and the other party can occupy Top Ten of the Year's seat every time.
Including Hong, there are five people who can be ranked among the top ten all year round. So they are also called the five permanent annual Magical Girl, abbreviated..."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything anymore, I understand."
Molis quickly interrupted the other party's speech. She looked at the high ponytail Magical Girl on the stage and felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
"Now, let us invite another judge representative, Annual Top Ten Magical Girls, Illya! to appear!"
When Magical Girl Hong came on stage, she was followed closely by Magical Girl, who had long white hair. She was wearing a pink pleated dress and a white cloak that was windless. She was cute with a bit of sassiness, and her petite stature was comparable to that of a certain president.
After seeing each other, Xia Ya didn't need to introduce him this time. Molis also recognized each other. The last time they met was on the big screen in the mall.
After the two people took the stage, it was their turn to give motivational speeches.
Illya showed a lively and lovely smile and raised her hands to greet the audience. Then she stepped forward, stood in front of the microphone and spoke, "Magical Girl is the guardian, idol, and carrier of dreams. We carry our dreams and spread love and hope to the world. Here, the ideals of all people meet..."
Listening to Illya's speech, Molis was convinced that this was the sports meeting.
After Illya finished a series of motivational speeches, Magical Girl Hong stepped forward and silently uttered two words:
"Come on."
After the two finished speaking, they left the stage together and flew directly to the judges' table.
The next stage is left to the Magical Girl players.
