Chapter 256 I want to challenge Leon!
Chapter 256 I want to challenge Leon!
Professor Robinson's acting was quite exaggerated. He looked at the scroll with an excited expression, "I guarantee this is the most generous prize in the last ten Academy Cups!"
Robinson tutted twice and continued, "Especially the rewards for the top few. Even I... feel a little jealous."
As he spoke, Robinson glanced at Leon and other contestants one by one.
"Everyone, believe me, if you don't fight for yourself, you will definitely regret it.
Then I won’t waste any more time and will now announce the rewards for this year’s Academy Cup!”
After hearing this, the whole audience paid 100% attention.
Moreover, with Graya and Billy's explanation, Leon also realized that although Professor Robinson seemed a little unreliable, what he said just now was really right...
In the second round of this college cup, the 11th to 20th place will receive a reward of 300 credits.
The 1st to 10th place winners will be awarded 500 credits.
By the third round, the rewards had more than doubled.
First of all, it’s credits. The final ranked 4-10 will be awarded 800 credits.
The third place will be awarded 1000 credits, the second place 1500 credits, and the first place... will be awarded a whopping 2000 credits!
In addition, there are potions, alchemical equipment, and the right to read certain knowledge.
For example, the first place winner can even read a copy of "Forbidden Witchcraft".
But it is just reading. Whether you can learn it later depends on yourself.
However, for the advanced first-level class where Graya is, there is a big difference in this reward.
The reward for the first-level advanced level is... to help you learn a forbidden witchcraft!
Therefore, the first-level advanced product is equivalent to having a full set of subsequent after-sales services.
This could be considered as Black Bone Forest's early attempt to show goodwill and recruit them. For most wizards, reaching the advanced level of the first order, the next step up would be the second order, which would qualify them to stay at the school and become professors...
In addition to credits and witchcraft, there are also a wide variety of alchemical equipment.
But what Leon was most excited about was the first place, the Heart of the Ocean.
Son of the Ocean... Heart of the Ocean...
Leon thought, my nickname is Son of the Ocean, isn’t this Heart of the Ocean just destined to be with me?
Not bad, not bad, this thing is destined for me...
However, Leon already understood that the reward for first place was definitely prepared for Alexander.
Because the remaining rewards are too obviously targeted.
For example, there are potions suitable for laying the foundation, and there are also potions for those who may feel a little weak due to advancing too quickly...
There were more than a dozen kinds of potions scattered here and there, and Leon basically didn't recognize any of them.
Because he has only been involved in first-level potions so far, he really knows very little about second-level potions.
It's no wonder that Professor Robinson said that he was also "envious", because these potion prizes were all second-level, which was more than enough for him to use.
Hearing the gasps from the audience, Leon couldn't help but look at Alexander again.
Alexander, who was the focus of the discussion, was now resting with his eyes closed.
In addition to the potion, there is also a wizard meditation method - the Moon Meditation Method.
As for the Bright Moon Meditation Method, it is said to be an advanced version of the Star Meditation Method.
If a wizard practices planetary meditation first and then switches to moon meditation, the result will be that the sum of one is greater than two.
But the point is, no one even has the Star Meditation Method...
This series of meditation methods is actually inherited from the vice president...
If this isn't enough to explain anything, then here comes the most outrageous thing.
One of the first place prizes was actually called Alexander's Cloak...
When Leon saw the prize, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Damn it, you might as well just give these things to him...
It wasn't just Leon who thought this way; everyone else had similar thoughts.
Billie was surprised and speechless, while Graya's face became a little ugly.
To put it bluntly, the majority of the Black Bone Forest's resources come from the powerful people at the level of the dean and vice-dean, as well as a number of families that serve as the backbone of the Black Bone Forest.
Among these families, the seven major families naturally "eat" the most.
Now, I don’t know whether this is the vice president’s own intention or the choice supported by these managers...
They obviously wanted to praise Alexander, and to praise him highly.
In this way, Alexander became their "spokesperson" and their minion...
There is nothing wrong with this, but forcing a newcomer, a newcomer who is really penniless... this requires too many resources.
Especially since Alexander started practicing too late, but he had already caught up with them...
Others might not know, but Graya knew very well that in order to quickly promote Alexander to a formal wizard, the resources consumed were several times the resources of a formal wizard, but in reality...
Those resources are enough to produce twenty or thirty official wizards!
This already exceeds the total assets of many small families.
Take the Sheldon family, where Leon is, as an example. If there is no Leon, then even if all the Sheldon families are sold, these resources will not be available.
In addition, the first place winner will have several choices: freely choose alchemy items, freely choose three witchcrafts, or the secrets of the Black Bone Forest...
Free to choose any blessed land, free to choose any other world...
Leon felt that, in a sense, among these three groups this year, even the first-level advanced group or the first-level intermediate group were not as good as the first-level low-level group they were in.
So... this is what is called "royal resources coffee"...
It's really terrifying...
The first place is "amazing" enough, so the prizes for the following places are much inferior.
However, the second place prize...
Why is it that I don’t understand something?
Leon looked around and found that the prizes for the second place were mostly various resources, and there was even a "small world development right"...
Leon: “???…”
If he was not mistaken, the second place was internally decided for Beatrice?
But Beatrice is dead, what is going on?
……
"Beatrice is dead."
Billie and Gloria first kept it a secret and then started talking in private.
"So, this is the academy's compensation to the Sig family?"
Graya sneered, "Oh, it's more of a compromise than compensation.
The Xige family had been reprimanded by the dean several times before for not putting in enough effort...
I've received news that after the Academy Cup is over, we will go to the front line."
Billie frowned. "Why is it early again? Didn't you say to leave some time?"
Graya sighed, "This time, the situation is different again."
Graya thought about it and decided to tell the news.
"In Black Widow Castle, there's a visitor."
"Guest? What guest?"
Graya pointed eastward and said, "A guest from the Citadel. I heard that he will observe and record the war this time, and then..."
Billie's pupils suddenly shrank. "Is the City Academy recruiting new students? Or...are they organizing a new group of scholars to study on the Oria continent?"
Graya shook her head. "I don't know about these either, but no matter what, this is an opportunity for Black Bone Forest, for you and me."
Billie was stunned when she heard this. Opportunity?
But soon, she understood something.
"Greya, what do you mean..."
Graya nodded. "These heirs will most likely not take risks, just like before. But you and I are different. We don't have so many constraints and concerns. We can go to the Citadel, or even to that legendary Imperial City!"
"Ah……"
Billie waved her hand, "I don't have any extravagant hopes for the Imperial City. Just going to the Academy City to study is enough!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
……
The reward for the third place was average, and compared to the first two, it was not even a little bit worse. Leon even suspected that this was a revised version... no, it was a "beggar's version"!
What left Leon speechless the most was that when Professor Robinson talked about the third place prize, he glanced at him vaguely several times.
"..."
Leon, who already had some understanding of Robinson, suddenly had an idea, so I, the third place... was also selected internally?
But the reward for third place is...
Why? wrong……
Opportunities to cleanse in third-tier and lower blessed lands, choose two...
Judging from the number of times alone, it is one more than the first place.
So, this is what Teacher Dora fought for me?
Teacher Dora didn't ask me to pick a name, but she seemed to be hinting at something...
I don't know when it started, but Leon felt that the fog surrounding Teacher Dora was getting thicker and thicker...
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like everyone has been acting a little weird lately...
But in fact, this is how everyone sees Leon.
Especially Dick, who seemed to be the most familiar and closest to Leon. Every time he saw Leon, the sense of strangeness in his heart would increase a little.
……
The announcement of the prizes was quickly completed, and amidst heated discussions, the contestants for the ten... no, nine arenas were all in place.
Leon looked at the empty second ring next to him, and it felt like an alpaca was running through his heart...
Are you really not going to act anymore?
Okay, okay, I want to see how you will end up when someone challenges Beatrice.
Just as Leon was thinking this, someone immediately shouted, "Challenge!"
Leon looked closely and saw that it was Drake!
Professor Robinson immediately flew to Drake's side, "Mr. Drake, who are you challenging?"
Drake didn't answer immediately. He first smiled at Leon, then slowly said, "I want to challenge... Leon!"
Leon: "..."
Well, to be frank, Leon had already prepared himself mentally for this challenge.
Kai Yan, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
Very good! Drake, you are really great!
Wait until Drake has worn down Leon, then I'll go in...
Although this would be a bit like a round-robin battle, if possible, Kaiyan would like to let Alexander and Leon fight first!
When Professor Robinson heard Drake's request, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Alright! Drake challenges Leon. If Drake wins, you will replace Leon as the third!"
After saying that, Professor Robinson turned his gaze to Leon again. "Leon, facing Drake's challenge, you have no right to refuse, but I want to remind you that... a new storm has emerged, so you are all members of the Black Bone Forest, so don't kill each other..."
Robinson paused, looked at Leon with sharp eyes and continued: "Are you clear?"
Leon: "..."
Drake: “???!!!”
What? Drake felt that Professor Robinson's words were a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on what was strange.
"Professor Robinson, I will! As long as..."
Drake frowned and interrupted, "Professor Robinson, now that we're on the duel stage, we must give it our all. Otherwise, what's the point of this duel?"
Kaiyan nodded silently and said, well said!
Professor Robinson was stunned for a moment, then looked at Drake with amusement.
"Okay, since you said so, then I declare... the game begins!"
Before Robinson finished speaking, Drake had already used the flying technique to arrive at Leon's ring.
Everyone's eyes turned to the third duel stage.
"Leon, we must put an end to this!"
Drake said as he searched the viewing platform.
Soon, he saw Bertha shouting "Leon will win".
Drake: “…”
Leon naturally didn't care about these little things. Bertha, who Dreike had been thinking about all the time, was like a container in Leon's heart that day...
Seeing that Bertha's eyes were full of Leon, Dreike became angry.
"Leon!"
Leon sighed, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Drake suppressed his anger and said, "If I win, you must stay away from her from now on!"
Leon: “?”
He waved his hand casually, "Whatever, as long as you are happy."
Seeing Leon's indifferent look, Dreike laughed angrily.
"Haha..." Drake laughed grimly, then took the lead in launching an attack.
"Swamp Technique!"
Leon felt his feet go soft the first moment, and then he immediately moved to the side.
But what surprised Leon was that the scope of this quagmire actually covered the entire duel arena!
There was no way to avoid it, so Leon simply let himself float in the air.
Drake seemed to have anticipated Leon's choice, so he used the "water gun technique" according to his plan.
Dozens of muddy "water guns" quickly emerged from the mud.
This is called water gun magic, but to be precise, it has become a variant of water gun magic, which can be called "mud gun".
Compared to a simple "water gun", the mud and water gun is less affected by the fire element. At the same time, the fine dirt inside is like a small bullet...
At this time, Professor Robinson's explanation slowly came.
