Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack
Chapter 59 Finalists
Li Li and Zhou Rui returned to the dormitory and opened the lunch boxes. Sure enough, they were all their favorite dishes. Zhou Rui picked up a favorite shrimp and eggplant roll and put it in her mouth, her face filled with satisfaction.
Soon, the other roommates came back. Shen Jinzhu sniffed the air and asked softly, "What are you eating? It smells so good."
"Come on, come on, let's eat together." Zhou Rui hurriedly greeted everyone.
Li Yanshuang quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, we've already eaten."
“It’s okay, there’s a lot, we can’t finish it.”
Lan Xinyu's eyes dimmed when she saw the word "Yu Lan" on the lunch box. She knew this restaurant, a famous private magic restaurant in Beijing. If you want to eat, you have to make a reservation a long time in advance, and you can only dine in. You have never heard of takeout. What is the identity of Zhou Rui's brother?
"Wow, Xiaorui, I've heard of this restaurant. It is said that the food is delicious. Can we take out?" Lan Xinyu pretended to be surprised.
"Ah... it was sent by my brother. Can't Yu Lan take it away? I didn't know that." Zhou Rui had never heard of such a rule for Yu Lan. When Jiang Hou mentioned that it was sent by her brother, she felt a little guilty. She understood that Jiang Nan came for Li Li and she was just a foil.
"Then your family must be very wealthy. Such services are not available to ordinary people."
Liya Shuang pulled her sleeves shyly, signaling her not to be so blunt.
"Maybe not. Let's taste it together." Zhuyu quickly changed the subject.
Leah also invited Shen Jinzhu to enjoy the meal together. Shen Jinzhu had no scruples and stepped forward to taste a piece of Monster beef. It melted in his mouth and the aroma of meat filled the air.
"Wow, it's wonderful!" Shen Jinzhu closed his eyes and savored it. "But, Lily, I still prefer the seasoned beast meat made by my uncle in the mysterious workshop. I haven't tasted it for a few days, and I really miss it."
Leah tapped her nose gently and said, "I'll make sure you have a good meal when we get back. I'll ask father to prepare more."
"Really? I knew you were the best to me." Shen Jinzhu responded with surprise.
Liya's father was actually the seasoning master of the mysterious workshop? Lan Xinyu smiled in her heart. That's all? He still wanted to cling to Zhuyu's brother? Even if his grades were excellent, what would that do? The gap between the two was like a chasm.
"Zhu Yu, your brother is so good to you. I wish I had a brother like him too. When can we get to know him?" Lan Xinyu suggested with a cunning look in her eyes.
"Of course. I'll ask my brother to treat everyone to dinner after this." Zhu Yu agreed readily without thinking too much.
Leia glanced at Lan Xinyu and said nothing.
The winter in the imperial capital was bitterly cold, with continuous snowflakes flying for days. Huaqing Academy was covered in silver, and the ancient charm of hundreds of years was overwhelming. Several southern students in the dormitory were shivering with cold, and they needed great courage to go to class every day.
Jiangnan entrusted Jiang Jiu to send a thick winter coat to Liya. When others asked, Liya simply said that it was a gift from a friend. Lan Xinyu despised it more and more, but still maintained a friendly appearance.
The daily life of Winter Academy is nothing more than studying and solving problems, day after day. There is a trial every three days, which will eliminate some people. In the end, only about thirty students can enter the finals.
Since that day, when Leah showed her talent for magic, she became a star in the Winter Academy, and everyone wanted to establish a good relationship with her. Leah was also happy to help others solve their doubts, and almost everyone agreed that she would join the national team. As a result, there were only four vacancies left in the national team. Everyone seemed to be in harmony on the surface, but in fact they were secretly competing, as if the spark was about to explode.
Currently, there are only 45 people left in the Winter Academy, and everyone is on guard. Zhu Yu relied on Leah and managed to hold on until now. She promised Leah that she would make a golden statue for Leah after returning home and worship it three times a day. Leah smiled and then kicked her lightly.
At this time, Chen Zhirun was already clear about the strength of each student. Leah's excellence was indisputable, and she stood out from the crowd. In addition to her, Li Yan, Wen Ziyuan, Chu Hai, Yu Fengnian, Feng Qinwei and others were also very strong.
Chen Zhirun spent two days to solve the magic puzzle posed by Leah, and finally felt relieved. It was embarrassing to be bothered by the student's problem for so long. Jiang also felt that Leah was born a genius blessed by God.
Soon, the last round of trials came, and there were 38 people left, and eight would be eliminated at a time. All the people in Leah's dormitory were still in the competition. At this moment, they had no other ideas, and their only remaining belief was to stay...
"Lilia, stretch out your hand and come to be touched by the light of wisdom." Shen Jinzhu called her nervously.
Li Liya had no choice but to stretch out her hand.
"I want one too. I want one too." Zhou Rui rubbed her hands excitedly, magic power dancing at her fingertips.
"And I."
"God's messenger Leah, I want to contact you too."
The classroom was noisy, and everyone rushed forward to contact Li Liya, praying for the protection of the goddess of wisdom.
"Ridiculous, at this moment I might as well study a few more rune questions." Yu Fengnian felt that this scene was extremely dazzling.
Feng Qin glanced at him and slowly stood up, "I'll try my luck too."
Yu Fengnian looked helpless, not understanding why he had also become so superstitious?
"Okay, everyone sit down, the test papers will be distributed soon." Chen Zhirun walked into the classroom with a playful gleam in his eyes.
A stack of scrolls, eight arcane rune questions, and half a magic hour passed quietly. In order to save time, Chen Zhirun and other teachers started marking the papers immediately after the test. Everyone waited in the classroom, feeling heavy-hearted and uneasy.
Zhou Rui clenched her fingers tightly, and Li Liya comforted her softly: "It's okay, today's questions are not too difficult, I have already explained many of them."
"Is there any question that would stump you?" Zhou Rui looked at her with resentment.
"Uh……"
Chen Zhirun stepped into the classroom, and in an instant, the room became silent.
He did not announce the scores, but directly unfolded the parchment in his hand, which listed the names of the wizards who would advance to the finals. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the announcement of their fate.
"The list of people who will enter the final battle of this National Arcane Magic Competition is: Li Liya, Feng Qinwei, Yu Fengnian, Li Yanshuang, Li Yan, Wen Ziyuan, Chu Hai..."
Every time a name is pronounced, it symbolizes the loss of an opportunity. Zhou Rui's heart is in her throat.
"Lin Die, Jiang Lanfang, Wu Di...Lin Shuci, Zhou Rui." After reading the last name, Chen Zhirun left the classroom, giving everyone time to calm down.
Low sobs were heard in the classroom, and everyone felt lost.
“Ahhh, I advanced, I really advanced!” Zhou Rui screamed softly, grabbing Li Liya’s shoulders and shaking her gently, “Sister Liya, I love you so much!”
Li Liya was shaken a little dizzy, "Okay, okay."
Lan Xinyu's face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly. "Why is my name not on the list? How could I be rejected? Is it because the list has not been completed yet? I'll go ask the teacher."
Li Yanshuang felt sorry for her and said, "Xinyu, it's okay. We are only in our second year of magic study. We will have another chance next year. We can fight again next year."
"Next year? Next year will be my senior year. How do you want me to choose, competition or college entrance exam? Can I afford such a risk?" Lan Xinyu's eyes turned red. "Zhou Rui has advanced, how can I fail? No, I don't believe it. I must go and ask Teacher Chen."
She stood up and prepared to find Chen Zhirun. Li Liya said calmly: "Why don't you believe it? Why do you think Zhou Rui is not as good as you? Or, in your heart, she should be eliminated?"
Lan Xinyu was shocked and immediately turned to look at Zhou Rui. As expected, she saw that Zhou Rui looked unnatural. She said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, Rui'er, I didn't mean that. I just..."
"I know." Zhou Rui interrupted her, "I can understand. Go ask the teacher and make everyone convinced."
