671 "Twilight in Walpurges"
Night meeting, on the battlefield.
There is no stage dedicated to night parties in the academy.
However, in the academy, there are many places that can be used for battles.
In previous years, the night parties will choose between these venues according to their respective conditions.
This time, the stage for the night party was a turf plaza at the back of the central lecture hall, sandwiched between the Faculty of Film and the Faculty of Law.
Here, white stone pillars stood on the ground like Stonehenge, separating a vast turf battle site.
At the front of the battle, the glove-bearers in ceremonial dresses lined up neatly, looking like a black-pressed army, full of momentum.
In addition to the glove holders, there were many students watching on the periphery of the battlefield.
Although the only person who was obliged to attend the opening ceremony of the night party was the glove holder, it seems that there were more than 1,000 people in attendance.
For those students who are not eligible to participate, the night party is also a festival that is worth enjoying, although they are not in the same situation.
Therefore, not only are there many students gathering in the periphery, but there are also welfare clubs that have set up booths, and the surrounding area is decorated like a festival, which is like a place of entertainment, and it is unforgettable.
Under such circumstances, Luo Zhen came to the battlefield with Night and Night.
Moreover, as in the previous style, Luo Zhen yawned listlessly, and seemed to be the last to arrive, attracting the attention of many people.
“...... It's really laid-back..."
"Obviously, the next step is the most brutal competition..."
"It's the second place, and the last contestant to appear other than Magnus is still far from the competition."
"So there's no fear, right?"
"Hmph..."
The surrounding glove holders let out similar discussions, and their eyes were full of dissatisfaction and hostility when they looked at Luo Zhen.
There's no way around it.
For these puppeteers, who are also participants in the night party, Luo Zhenke is a very strong opponent.
As long as you want to win at the night party, you have to treat everyone as enemies.
Luo Zhen is one of these enemies who is very glaring.
In this case, it is human nature to fall into the well as you can fall into the well.
Of course, Luo Zhen didn't even pay attention to it, just yawned while walking into the field with the night night that was staring around, and lined up in line surrounded by everyone's eyes.
At the front of the line, on the podium, one step above the ground, the head of the academy just appeared slowly.
"I'm Edward Rutherford, the head of the Royal Karakuri Academy in Walpurges."
As soon as he appeared, the head of the academy declared this in a powerful voice, and the powerful force and presence emanating from his body were like invisible coercion, causing the surrounding sounds to disappear in an instant.
"The Night Party is a grand festival in the world of Karakuri magic, the highest ceremony recognized by the Magicians Association, and it has been held for 48 sessions so far, and a total of 48 demon kings have been born and gone to the world."
The Captain's voice slowly spread.
"As the best existence of their contemporaries, these demon kings have made a lot of great contributions to this world after they left the world."
"Some of them have become the strongest bulwark to protect the country."
"Some of them have made many inventions that are beneficial to the world."
"The development of the world is inseparable from the knowledge of the Demon King."
"The progress of civilization is inseparable from the contribution of the Demon King."
"It is precisely because of this that the association will recognize the legitimacy of the night party, and give it the right to give birth to the demon king, so that the demon king can not abide by the international magic charter and the ethical code of magicians, and give full play to his talents, conduct research, invention and exploration, and finally gradually uncover the truth of the magic world, so that human beings can continue to improve."
The headmaster's gaze swept over the glove holders present one by one.
"Among you, the forty-ninth Demon King of all time will be born."
"Your path may be different from that of the previous Demon Lords."
"There are all sorts of reasons why you choose to be here."
"But there is only one thing, and that is absolutely constant."
"That is, you need to prove that you are the best, the most powerful, the most authoritative being of this age."
Speaking of this, the dean of the academy suddenly smiled.
"We look forward to your participation and discussion."
This concludes the Dean's speech.
However, the eyes of the glove holders present were burning with unprecedented fighting spirit, and even many people felt enthusiastic about it.
Obviously, the speech of the dean of the academy completely ignited the ** of these contestants.
I want to be the strongest, I want to get privileges, I want to prove myself, I want to stand on others.
"Old fox..."
In the crowd, Luo Zhen secretly scolded in his heart.
The dean's speech certainly made people quite emotional, but what followed was not a peaceful competition, but a rather tragic fight.
Therefore, the words of the dean of the academy will probably make the fight even more tragic, right?
"It's really a big deal to see the excitement."
The opening ceremony continued with Luo Zhen's burying voice.
Following the speech of the dean, the oath-taking ceremony of the participants of the night party was held.
The representative was naturally Magnus, the first ———— of the Academy.
With everyone watching, Magnus took the stage with six girls dressed in Gothic Lori costumes.
The head of the academy quietly looked at the students below, and the corner of his eye fell on Luo Zhen for a moment.
Immediately afterward, Magnus's oath echoed.
"Those of us who have gathered in the Wallpurges, to protect the flame of magic, are willing to be bathed in blood."
Magnus clenched his hands into fists, placed them in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and slowly swore an oath.
"If you don't become a king, you don't have anything."
"If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent."
"We swear to fight with truth."
The oath is taken.
"Toot ————!"
The band played a loud trumpet.
"Bang bang bang!"
A flock of white doves is released and flies into the sky as the sun sets.
"Oooo
The onlookers applauded and cheered.
"Oooo
In the distance, the clock tower rang as if it had spotted the moment.
"The forty-ninth -- 'Twilight in Walpurges' -- opens here!"
The headmaster's announcement resounded through the air, causing all the glove holders to take out their gloves together, place them on their chests, and put them back on.
This concludes the opening ceremony.
The people in the battle scattered in all directions, emptying the entire field.
Luo Zhen also went to the audience with Ye Ye, first bought a few snacks at the stall on the side, and then sat down and looked at the venue.
At this time, Luo Zhen felt a very obvious gaze towards him.
At that moment, Luo Zhen turned his head and looked at the source of his gaze.
There, in the corner of the audience, Xia Lu sat alone, as if she was secretly looking at Luo Zhen, and was startled when she was discovered, and then glared at her again.
"This girl..."
Luo Zhen pursed his lips, turned his head, and continued to look at the middle of the field.
The first battle of the night party is about to begin.
