Quadruple split

Game time AM07:12

Academy City outer ring area, lobby of Linyin Inn

After experiencing the turmoil of "a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle" and "do you want to have a sweet love with your sister?", the group began to enjoy breakfast in a rather leisurely atmosphere. However, even though they were a group, in fact, only Motan, Jadeka, Ji Xiaoge, Yaya and Liadrin. Due to schedule reasons, the two masters of Artisan Town would not go out until lunch time at the earliest, while Gavin Rad, Kevin and Dise Other young people from the Er family will act together with the participating teachers and students from the White Oath Knight Academy.

"Mo Wang, Wang wants to eat that steak..."

The sleepy Ya Ya lay limply next to Mo Tan, twitching his nose and muttering something without even opening his eyes.

"Ya Ya! Don't have such a greasy breakfast!"

While Ji Xiaoge was seriously educating Yaya about physical health, he subconsciously placed the latter's target...that is, the piece of meat steak on the plate in front of Yaya.

Jadeka smacked his lips and thoughtfully asked Mo Tan, who rarely had breakfast with everyone: "Should I eat less greasy food? After all, as a mage..."

"As a mage, Lao Jia, you are already healthy enough."

Mo Tan reluctantly interrupted his old friend's worries, turned around and said with a smile: "So you can really consider lowering the intensity of your 'morning exercise' a little, such as doing less than 200 sets of squats, and eating your food first."

"this……"

Sweating a few meters away from the dining table... Although I really want to say this, Jadeka, who actually didn't shed a drop of sweat, frowned, then stood up straight with some tangle, walked to sit next to Mo Tan, and didn't say anything. Without any table manners, he puffed out his cheeks and said, "I'm just worried that if I neglect to exercise, I won't be able to withstand the backlash of the elements in the future. As you know, Mo, with Little Pigeon's high-purity fire element crystals, I can It’s been a rapid improvement in a few months.”

Ji Xiaoge immediately gave the old mage a hard look: "That's seasoning! I can't even stop your mouth while eating!"

"Heh...isn't it, seasoning."

Wang Badan, who was lying at the door basking in the sun, rolled his eyes and muttered: "Even the rice can be given seasonings that melt into carbide."

Since its volume was controlled very well, Ji Xiaoge didn't hear the second half of the sentence, so he just glared at Wang Badan with the same ferocity instead of taking out a bottle of spicy powder and pouring it into his mouth.

"Seriously, Lao Jia, I know a mage who is at the same level as you now."

Mo Tan slowly took a sip of the coffee Ji Xiaoge brewed for him (similar to instant, so non-toxic and harmless), and said seriously to the worried old man: "A conservative estimate is that your physical fitness is a hundred times better than hers. .”

"Oh! Is it true or false?"

"I won't lie."

"Then she has to pay attention to her health. Are you familiar with it? If so, why don't you teach me the morning exercise method I'm used to..."

"No, it's better not to do it. After all, that person will most likely not do it. If he does... tsk tsk."

"What will happen if you do this?"

[Then I can win without a fight. After all, if Futaba trains like you, he will definitely train himself to death. 】

Mo Tan complained in his heart, but didn't say much. He just shook his head slightly and continued to enjoy the breakfast, which was not very hungry but was very good in both quality and quantity. He decided to ask the chef of Linyin Inn Eat more before being driven crazy by Ji Xiaoge, who should have some time off.

All in all, as mentioned, the atmosphere at breakfast was quite relaxed.

If we exclude Liadrin Bloodmaple L. Diesel who has been silently eating since just now...

She came to the Linyin Inn as a guide for the Diesel family delegation to take Mo Tan and others to the competition site. Although Jadeka knew the competition venue and there was a whole stack of Academy City maps in the lobby of the inn, Gavin Rader still sent Liadrin over, and everyone knows why.

Then, although she was reluctant on the surface, Leah, who actually did not reject the decision of her team leader, came over early.

Then, she was struck by the first person she met here, Ms. Ye Ge, a core member of the Artisan Town delegation and also a core member of the Wangwang team.

If before, Miss Liadrin had not been able to subconsciously give up a certain idea deep in her heart even though she thought she was inferior to Yaya in all aspects, especially without the latter's cuteness, then when she saw this "Girl Ye Ge", and realized that the other party was also one of the core members of the Wang Wang team who spent time with "Mo", the impact on her heart was really difficult to describe in words.

In addition to the pigeon in question, both Mo Tan, Jadeka and the half-asleep Yaya were keenly aware of this.

In order to avoid greater chaos, Mo Tan did not give any superfluous explanation, although deep down in his heart he actually rejected this specious misunderstanding. After all, as a 'Black Brahma', he was a lesson learned from the past. You must know that he is now 'His Royal Highness Wangyu' The title of "Old Friend" has been completely spread in the Holy Religion Union.

Jadeka wisely chose silence because he knew very well that nothing could happen between Liadrin and Mo Jue, who was an 'otherworlder'.

As for Yaya, the superficial reasons are similar to Jadeka.

All in all, the three of them were very wise and did not disturb the white elf female knight who almost had the word "tangled" written on her face.

However, Ji Xiaoge, who is enthusiastic, cheerful and a bit familiar, will not ignore this 'new friend', so after discovering that Liadrin seemed a bit out of tune with the current atmosphere, he immediately started to find topics to talk about and tried to follow. The content of the chat was nothing more than about this fighting competition.

Liadrin quickly calmed down, tried to put aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and regained her composure at an astonishing speed.

"As I said before, the draw time for the individual competition is nine o'clock. We have plenty of time. We just need to get to the arena in the Central District within an hour. Uncle Gavin Ladd and Ma Dean Erla and the others should be earlier, so even if we arrive late, they can help draw lots instead."

After showing Ji Xiaoge a slightly stiff but cordial smile, Liadrin put down the knife and fork in her hand and said seriously: "Because of the drawing of lots, there should only be one draw in today's individual competition. The round starts at around 9:30, and after the game is the drawing of lots for the team competition. However, as previously agreed, Mo will not play in the first few rounds of team competition, so he only needs to watch during the team competition. "

[Okay, I will definitely watch the battle from the judges’ table. 】

Saying this in his heart, Mo Tan nodded hard: "Yes, I understand."

"Let's talk about the individual competition."

After finishing his morning meal as fast as a hungry dog ​​(Ya Ya), Jadeka wiped his mouth casually and clapped his hands: "What is little Gavin Ladd's plan? Oh, yes, let's let him As our trump card, Mo needs to preserve his strength in the first few rounds, right?"

Liadrin nodded slightly and said softly: "That's right. In the words of Uncle Gavin Rad, he will keep an eye on every game in the Paladin Academy today, trying to find out the source of the opponent's confidence, and as a Momo, our secret weapon, just needs to win tepidly. If possible, try not to attract too much attention... Although it is difficult not to attract attention as a member of the Diesel delegation, but Kai and I Wen will try his best to confuse the audience."

"Due to the format of the competition, after the initial draw, you can determine what opponents you will encounter in the future. I have to say that Gavin Rudd Jr.'s idea is really good."

Jadeka nodded in agreement and said cheerfully: "There should be no problem with his vision. That old boy Marla will definitely stare at him. With the two of them here, no matter what the Paladin Academy thinks, If you want to hide it, a 'killing move' that is only high-level at best cannot be concealed. After that, we just need to slowly calculate how to target that opponent."

Ji Xiaoge, who had already learned the ins and outs from everyone before, nodded excitedly: "It feels very fun! It's a bit like a hot-blooded comic!"

"Hot-blooded... comics?"

Liadrin tilted her head, not understanding.

"Ah, don't worry about her. Little Pigeon often says strange things."

Jadeka waved his hand casually and glanced at the tortoise-type dragon that was almost out of shape and lying in the doorway basking in the sun: "Then we won't bring the bully today. If possible, it would be best Don’t let Mo show up before he confronts the trump card of the Holy Spear Academy.”

Liadrin nodded and agreed: "Well, Mr. Mo's mount is really excellent. If you take him there, he will definitely attract people's attention."

Ji Xiaoge wiped the mouth of Yaya who started to feel sleepy again after a voracious meal, stood up and shook her white wings, and said with full energy: "It shouldn't be later, let's set off now!"

…

half an hour later

Game time AM07:53

Academy City Central District, Arena

"This is a place that many colleges often visit when conducting practical teaching and examinations. On ordinary days, semi-official competitions are held every half month, and it is very popular among students."

At the entrance to Arena No. 19, Liadrin, who had crammed in a lot of Academy City knowledge before setting off, was introducing the irregular polygonal building in front of everyone in as brisk a tone as possible, but although everyone was Although she looked very interested, the only ones who really listened attentively were Ji Xiaoge and Yaya. Jadeka came here because she was young (really very young) and knew as much as Liadrin. , Mo Tan is because he has been here beforehand when he was the 'Black Brahma', and Fiyali's explanation is much more professional than Liadrin.

By the way, perhaps because the organizers also feel that the first round of the individual competition is not very valuable, the judging panel of 'Hei Fan' can choose not to come in the morning, but it must be included in the team competition in the afternoon. Attended.

So although it was limited to today, at least for the next morning, as long as Mo Tan was not unlucky enough to fall ill during his game, he could basically get through it safely.

All in all, the group walked into the Academy City Arena, which although very grand, was still much smaller than Tianzhu Mountain's First Outer Mountain Arena, and successfully met Gavin Ladd and Mara ten minutes later. Erla and his party gathered together.

…

the other side

"This is the arena, Mu."

The dean of the Paladin Academy, Hopkins Leon, smiled slightly at the white-haired girl next to him who was no taller than his shoulders and was wearing the second-year uniform of the Paladin Academy: "It won't take long before you can stand. At the pinnacle here, enjoy the attention of thousands of people.”

"Oh, I'm so happy..."

Mu Xuejian nodded perfunctorily and yawned slightly.

"Okay, I know you don't care about this kind of fame."

Hopkins shrugged and said with a smile: "But since you have accepted my request, you really don't want to become famous this time. How about you, do you want to consider becoming a special recruit of our Paladin Knight Academy?" ?”

Mu Xuejian nodded without hesitation, glanced at the long sword covered with bandages hanging diagonally on his back, and said listlessly: "I am a swordsman, not a knight. When I was a child, my mother took me to ride on the grassland. One horse, to be honest, it felt terrible.”

"grassland?"

Hopkins raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Casello Prairie?"

Mu Xuejian shook his head: "No, it's NMG."

"Guilty...what?"

"nothing."

"Well, in short, I hope you will go all out, but of course, not all the time."

Hopkins didn't dwell too much and just said calmly: "Just win normally and try not to reveal your true strength."

Mu Xuejian nodded, with the same listless expression on his face: "Okay."

"Well, then you should go to the lounge with other students to recharge your batteries, and wait for the draw..."

"I'm hungry."

"ah?"

"I said I was hungry."

"But didn't you just have breakfast for three people?"

"Yeah, but I didn't eat enough tonight."

"Didn't you have enough to eat tonight?"

"Well, before going online."

"This...I really don't understand you guys...oh...forget it..."

"I'm hungry anyway."

"I understand. I'll get you some food. Stay here and don't wander around."

"oh."

…

Game time AM09:08

"Number twenty-two."

Mo Tan lowered his head and glanced at the small ball in his hand, then turned and nodded to Jadeka, Yaya and Ji Xiaoge who were surrounding him. Gavin Rad didn't do it because he wanted to avoid making him too conspicuous. He came over, but he also received the news immediately.

…

at the same time

"What number?"

Hopkins asked Mu Xuejian, who was standing at the edge of the crowd in a daze after drawing the lots.

"ah?"

The latter reacted for a while, and then he raised the ball in front of his face and glanced casually...

"twenty one."
