Your notoriety is known to everyone

Chapter 54 The Hunt Begins ([-]-in-[-])

Three days passed by in a hurry.

The first-year students entering St. Helte are preparing to face the first college competition in their enrollment career.

The sky at this moment was a flawless blue, with no trace of clouds on it. It looked extremely pure, making people think of the boundless sea.

The morning sunlight slanted down, illuminating the arena of St. Helte's school.

Its specifications are much larger than those of all academy arenas, and both the materials and shapes make it feel more primitive and heavier.

The terraced auditorium surrounding the arena is filled with students from all grades. They are all wearing the uniforms of their respective colleges, and they can only be distinguished from each other at a glance.

In the center of the arena, hundreds of first-year students were gathered waiting for the competition to begin.

Their eyes may be firm, expectant, or nervous, exuding an atmosphere unique to youth.

Monteroy did not rush to where the students of Landona Academy were gathered. Instead, he stood on the edge of the crowd and looked at where the students of Hilmi Academy were gathered. He followed the figure of Rogers obsessively, and his throat couldn't help but Rolling and swallowing.

He could feel that the smell of depravity on Luo Gesi was much stronger than before. This could only happen if the gods of the Abyss sent down boundless blessings, and only the believers of the Abyss could It is possible to see such a miracle.

He clenched his hands into fists, his fingers turned slightly white, his body was trembling slightly, and his chest was rising and falling.

Trying his best to suppress the excitement that was about to overflow, he didn't even dare to take even one step closer to Rogers' direction, lest he would collapse to the ground due to excitement.

"Soon... soon... wait until this incident is over..."

He licked his lips and murmured in a way that no one else could hear.

"Montroy! Did you tell the truth about Morost College?!"

A young man wearing the uniform of Augustus Academy, with short light brown hair and an unruly expression came to Monteroy and asked.

"Oh? Isn't this His Excellency Lord Edith?" Monteroy withdrew his gaze with difficulty and looked at the other party with a half-smile: "You are referring to those who use the name of Chief Rogers to make money for themselves. Guy?"

Addis's face gradually turned gloomy. He didn't expect that Monteroy would admit it so easily.

Although Monteroy is in Landona College, his mother's family is a royal noble. In addition, he has been very withdrawn since he entered school. He happened to have little contact with the third prince, so he was chosen as a liaison. One of the candidates for those students in Lost Academy.

According to the rules, Addis did not need to have direct contact with Monteroy. There was a second-year senior between them. All he had to do was let Monteroy know that this was an instruction from the royal nobles.

But when the incident is exposed to this point, these cumbersome precautions become insignificant.

"You..." Addis pointed at Monteroy, who looked calm and unrepentant, and said through gritted teeth: "Your habits are almost like those of Rogers Braid!"

However, what he didn't expect was that in the face of such an extreme humiliation, Monteroy showed no sign of anger. Instead, bursts of blush appeared on his feminine face, and there was joy in his eyes as if he had been given great recognition. .

"Can you...can you say it again?" Monteroy's voice trembled, and his expression showed his joy at this comment.

Edith subconsciously took a small step back when he saw this. The reason why he came to Monteroy to question him was to avoid the pervert named Caspar, but he never expected that the guy in front of him was also an indescribable monster. thing.

"You will definitely pay the price for your current behavior!"

He said these words viciously and left quickly without looking back.

Monteroy looked disdainful when he heard this. These naive brats didn't know that he would no longer be in Saint Helte by then.

He originally wanted to give the other party a subtle curse to punish the other party for being disrespectful, but remembering the exciting compliment just now, he decided to kindly spare the other party.

As he moved his gaze again to the direction where the Hilmi Academy students gathered, several waves of magic power had already erupted there.

The students from the Saint's Academy and the Demon King's Academy each used their magic power to continuously attack each other, setting off gusts of wind and smoke.

"Why aren't they fighting? Alice is not here and no one is stopping her. What are they afraid of?"

Rogers wore a monocle on his left eye and a magic book hanging on his waist. He was putting his hands in his sleeves and talking about the situation around him with a leisurely expression.

Foreign magic props like monocles were not allowed to be used, but he paid a high amount of equivalent credits in exchange for the right to use this prop in any arena.

The students from the two academies not far away from him were all trying their best to compete with each other, but at the same time they maintained a certain tacit understanding, neither releasing any substantial magic spells, nor letting the magical impact sweep towards Rogge. The scope of thinking.

Although the existence of Luo Gesi was not pleasant, after a month of taking classes together, no one doubted his wisdom and strength, and gradually recognized that he had a status equal to that of the saint.

"That guy has been looking at you, are you sure there's nothing wrong?" Alina said to Rogers in confusion without looking away.

"It's not a big problem." Rogers replied casually, not remembering one more request because the number of accumulated requests was already so large that he was too lazy to count.

The so-called problem is that after the competition enters the second stage, the arena will be forced to be isolated from the real world. Several followers of the Harvest Association will break into the arena to find trouble for the saint. In addition, due to his entry, It will cause the gods of the Abyss to take the initiative to ask their believers to have more ideas about the gods of the Chaos Abyss.

Everything is fairly expected.

After all, this is the first practical exam that the protagonist has taken, so how could there not be any surprises.

After a while, the magical conflict between the Holy Lady's Court and the Demon King's Court gradually subsided. Rogers looked up and saw Alice stepping into the gathering area of ​​Hilmi Court with a serious expression.

She first criticized a few words for the bad behavior of starting a magic fight regardless of the friendship between fellow students, and then slowly came to Luo Gesi, waved her hand and used magic power to raise a soundproof barrier, wrapping only Luo Gesi and her.

"There may be problems in the next competition, so you have to pay attention to your safety."

As soon as the barrier was raised, Alice warned Rogers with a stern expression.

"I believe the school will ensure the safety of the students." Rogers glanced sideways at Alina, who had a serious look on her face, and joked back to Alice, thinking that she was reminding the students of the unlimited relationship between them. Casting spells can cause accidents.

Alice pursed her lower lip when she heard this. Since she was told not to explain too much, she had to give a few serious instructions again, and then asked: "How is the child now?"

"She slept very soundly." Luo Gesi pondered for a moment, then signaled to the other party that there was no need to worry.

The Shadow Demon had experienced many mixed trainings between him and Alina in the previous month, but the results had always been minimal. He was so stubborn that he couldn't listen to any education at all.

In the end, Logos and Alina simply regarded each other as a degraded version of Alice. They would wake up for sparring from time to time, and occasionally let Lufia join in the exercise.

Other than that, there's not much else to say.

Alice sensed Luo Gesi's reluctance to talk more, and did not dwell too much on this topic. She continued to promise: "I will try to be fair in this competition."

Rogers nodded after hearing this. He understood that the school could not let the saint lose to anyone. He also understood that even if Alice was forcibly recognized as No. 1 by the school, she would not ask him to fulfill a certain obligation with a "false ranking". A bet made months ago.

This is also the reason why he readily accepted the gambling agreement at that time.

"Pay attention to safety." Alice patiently warned her again before taking down the barrier, and then returned to the crowd of students from the Sainte's Academy.

It was at this time that Vice Principal Avery and several deans appeared out of thin air above the arena, between where the participating students gathered and the audience seats.The vice-principal first followed the usual procedures and told about the long tradition of Saint Helte, and then mentioned that a certain well-known great magician or sage had also shed his blood in this arena.

Then the points system rules for this competition were announced.

Points are divided into personal points and college points.

For example, when a student completes the corresponding competition task or expels other students to obtain points, the points will be divided into two parts and counted separately for the individual and the college.

When a student is expelled from the competition, the individual points will be reduced to one-tenth, while the academy points will remain unchanged.

When the points are settled after the game, the ranking will be based on the total number of college points obtained by each college, divided by the number of people in each college.

The biggest purpose of doing this is to weaken the influence of those strong individual students so as to better demonstrate the overall level of each college.

Rogers frowned as he listened. The vice-principal had been talking for so long, but not a single word mentioned the special situation of Hilmi being divided into two houses.

It seems that the two houses are to be settled directly as Hilmi College as a whole.

But in this case, wouldn't he and Alice have to keep arguing with each other after the game over the somewhat vague points-acquisition situation?

However, he was not given a chance to express his opinions. After the vice-principal finished his speech, he waved his wooden stick and caused the scenes around everyone in each courtyard to begin to move around, sending them to the entrance corridor in the blink of an eye.

Logos had entered a similar corridor before his duel with Caspar, but what was different from the last time in the academy arena was that the end of the corridor now turned into a magic circle made of nested ring geometric figures.

Countless tadpole-like runes are slowly rising and falling in it. Students who have experienced the basic education of the magic array course can see that this array has not yet been truly activated.

The stone slabs under everyone's feet were flat and hard, and it seemed as if they had been stepped on countless times, leaving old and new signs of wear and tear.

Through the colorful light and shadow cast by the hole on the top, Luo Gesi raised his eyes and scanned the more than 40 people in the corridor. They were all students who followed him, and there was no trace of a student from the Saintess' Academy.

It's obviously scored as a whole, but they are admitted separately?

He didn't quite understand the school's operation, and he wondered if the school was afraid that students from the two schools would start fighting in the corridor.

Putting aside the chaotic speculations, he cleared his throat and spoke loudly to the people in front of him:

“According to the rules, as chief, I should have made a few lengthy and inspiring statements.

“But the game is about to start, so let me first say something useful to everyone.

"As for the personal points obtained in this competition, I will no longer ask everyone to hand over the personal points. Furthermore, students who expel more than five students from other colleges can also draw corresponding prizes from the final rewards settled by the school."

Everyone in the Demon King's Academy initially had no reaction to Luo Gesi's speech, but when they heard that personal points could be privately owned, they couldn't help but burst into cheers.

After a month, they have completely forgotten that these should belong to them.

"Why do you want to deliberately expel students from other institutes? Completing competition tasks normally is the fastest way to gain points, right?"

As the cheers died down, a student raised his own question.

"Good question!" Luo Gesi nodded at the other party, and then brought up some chain of suspicion, some dark forest law, some theory that no one can be trusted except for fellow students.

The expressions of everyone listening slowly changed from daze to seriousness and even fear.

In fact, there is no problem in normal competition, but according to Luo Gesi's understanding of future competitions, the proportion of strength confrontation between students will gradually increase, and the current melee is one of the best opportunities to improve personal strength.

He doesn't like greedy algorithms that only seek the temporary optimal solution, but wants to take a long-term view to catch big fish, hoping that this group of followers can bring him greater benefits in the future.

"What we have to face next is not our classmates, but our enemies.

"Think about those Saint Lady Academy students who have always relied on the brilliance of the Saint to slander us at will; think about the scorners who stigmatize you as Demon King Academy students just because you are forced to follow me.

“No one wants his enemy to stand while he falls.

“Therefore, I hope you can use the fastest and most efficient method to deal a double blow to the enemy, both mentally and physically!

“If you can attack from behind, don’t fight head-on.

“If you can deceive and plot, don’t be aboveboard.

“If you can attack in groups, don’t fight alone.

“If you can completely expel it, don’t just knock it out.

“If you can stun someone, don’t just injure him seriously.

“If you can inflict serious injuries, don’t just inflict minor injuries.

"If you have a long-range magic spell, release the long-range magic spell. Be sure to control the distance you can escape at any time.

"In short, we must put aside our dignity, strive for efficiency, and attack them and destroy them at all costs! You must know that pity for the enemy will definitely make you bleed!

"If you can't let go of your dignity, and other students in the same school get a lot of credits by doing this, then you will be left far behind everyone, completely ranked at the end of the normal distribution, and you will never be able to get up again!"

Logos loudly preached a series of wise words about unrestricted fighting skills. His tone gradually softened and he continued calmly:
“Wolves travel thousands of miles to get meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit.

"I hope you can let me see, and let those trash guys in the Sainte's Academy see who is the stronger one.

"Does anyone still remember what I often said to you before?"

Under the influence of [Special Deed], many students have already turned red, breathing heavily, and their emotions are exploding and burning like a bonfire.

"It's all for the credits!"

One student's forehead veins popped out and he shouted loudly.

“Credits are everything!!!”

Dozens of people followed and roared, and the sounds converged into a thunderous noise that spread throughout the corridor, as if arousing a storm that would forever reverberate.

"Good! Very energetic!" Luo Gesi nodded with satisfaction, and he cleared his throat again:
"Since those guys have given our academy the bad name of 'Demon King', let's let them see the horror of 'Demon King'!"

At this moment, the magic circle behind Luo Gesi glowed with fluorescence, and countless tadpole-like runes circulated around the mysterious route.

He slowly opened his arms, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and declared loudly:

"The time has come! The hunt begins!"
