Chapter 96 The Exchange Meeting Officially Begins
on the square.
Tens of thousands of magic apprentices gathered here.
The apprentices and commoners who couldn't get in also watched what was happening in the square through alchemical tools and magic.
Dorothy looked at the huge crowd and felt a little nervous.
Then, she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh no! I think I forgot to register!"
These past few days she's been going to the library with Leonce and the others, thinking about participating in this exchange conference, but she hasn't registered at all.
Leons laughed and said, "It's okay, I've registered you, in the name of the Alchemy Tower."
"Oh? That's good." Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that despite being given high expectations, she would fail before even starting.
Fortunately, Leonce is a reliable person.
Otherwise, the mission would fail before it even began.
At this moment, on the huge viewing platform, in the main seat.
The three school principals were seated at the very top.
They are respectively the headmaster of Bryce Academy in the Mage City of the Azure Rock Kingdom.
Gareth, the academy principal of the Apprentice City in the Kingdom of Radiance.
Dean Reina of the National Magic Academy of the Kingdom of Dawnlight.
Sitting below the three were Princess Raffi and Prince Luffy of the Azure Rock Kingdom, with whom they had previously clashed.
Beside the two was Jack, a minister of the Kingdom of Dawn.
At this moment, the minister was looking at Raffi and Ruff with a smile.
His keen sense of smell detected the strong tension between the two.
Dean Gareth stood up.
He stretched out his left hand, and a magic wand instantly appeared in his hand.
Then the staff tapped lightly on the stone slab beneath his feet.
boom~
An invisible magical force spread out from him instantly.
The once noisy square instantly fell silent.
"The Mage Exchange Meeting has now officially begun. The apprentices who registered earlier should have already been assigned numbers."
"Next, you will compete in the ring in batches until the final winner emerges."
"Now, let's officially begin the exchange!"
As Gareth finished speaking.
After a moment of silence, the entire venue erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.
"oh!!!"
The magic apprentices shouted excitedly, as if they were about to show off their skills.
Raffi smiled as she looked down at the magic apprentices, glancing at Prince Luffy sitting not far from her.
Ruff clearly noticed Raffi's gaze.
"Your Highness, this day has finally come."
Ruff's tone was flat, but Raffi detected a hint of provocation in it.
Raffi smiled elegantly: "Yes, Your Highness Luffy, I hope the Azure Rock Kingdom can achieve good results on the first day."
"Same to you." Ruf shook his head slightly.
He no longer wanted to engage in such verbal battles.
Luffy is now eager to see the clash between the magic apprentices of the Azure Rock Kingdom's Mage City and the Apprentice City of the Radiant Kingdom.
Above the huge plaza, there was a magical light curtain.
Numbers kept flashing across the screen.
As the numbers froze, magic apprentices began to walk onto the arena set up in the square and start fighting.
Dorothy was a little nervous.
"Um, I don't know my own number—"
She looked at Leonce sitting next to her.
Although both Elor and Lyons were teachers, they did not choose to go to the teachers' audience seats.
-
Instead, he stayed with Dorothy and Anna in the regular seating area.
Leona took out Dorothy's number plate.
"This is your number plate."
Dorothy looked at her number.
"Number 1111?"
The four ones seem to be hinting at something.
"It seems like my number is quite high up in the queue."
At least tens of thousands of students enrolled in the three magic academies.
Most of them are advanced apprentices.
Getting a number that ranks in the top thousand is indeed quite high.
Elor didn't care: "Whether the number is early or not doesn't matter much, since your playing time is determined by a draw."
She pointed to the huge light screen in the center of the square.
Dorothy looked at the light screen and felt a sense of novelty.
"Was that also produced by the Alchemy Tower?"
"7
"That's right."
The one who answered was Leonce, after all, she was the teacher of the Alchemy Tower.
"In the past, magicians would use image-capturing magic to record things, sealing events that occurred over a period of time into magic ore."
"Later, alchemists developed this magic into an item called a 'record stone'."
"Symmetrical stones were once very popular among the nobility because of their huge commercial potential, so alchemists have been working on creating images for them."
"That huge light screen is part of the application of photographic technology."
Leona explained the history of the light screen to Dorothy.
However, Dorothy only noticed one thing: that photographic stones were very popular among the nobility.
As for why it's popular, she probably has some guesses.
And Dorothy plans to buy some to store.
In case I need it later.
While she was lost in thought, the apprentices in the various arenas had already begun their battles.
Fifty arenas are arranged in the square.
Once the apprentices step onto the arena, a magical shield will rise up around them, enveloping them. Furthermore, a magic teacher will be present to oversee the event, so there's no need to worry about any accidents.
As for the limited number of arenas, it seems that it would take a considerable amount of time for tens of thousands of apprentices to fight each other in pairs.
There's absolutely no need to worry about this.
Because, in terms of magical power, a magic apprentice is already quite capable if they can cast five or six spells.
Moreover, most magic apprentices only master two or three spells.
So the battles are very fast, but also very tedious.
It's basically a turn-based game: attack, move around, and then defend.
Whoever runs out of magic first loses.
A battle lasts an average of three minutes.
Many magic apprentices step onto the arena full of high spirits, only to walk off exhausted.
Some even had their legs go weak from exhaustion of magic and needed to be helped off the stage.
Therefore, the number of people is eliminated very quickly.
At the current pace, this exchange meeting will likely last for about seven days.
This kind of competition is very interesting for magic apprentices.
Dorothy's ears were constantly filled with excited screams.
But for her, this kind of battle was like playing house.
A quick glance across the fifty arenas revealed numerous magic apprentices who, despite their depleted magic power, were still struggling to keep up their exhaustion, brandishing their magic wands and engaging in combat with their opponents.
However, their physical and mental exhaustion made them behave like monkeys waving sticks.
Before long, Dorothy lost interest.
She made an excuse and told Elor beside her that she wanted to meditate and adjust her state.
I just wanted to take a nap.
Elor assumed Dorothy was just nervous, so he agreed to keep an eye on the numbers for her.
Whenever it's Dorothy's turn, she'll be woken up.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you."
"Yes, thank you, Elor." Dorothy looked at Elor's serious expression and felt a little embarrassed.
However, this did not prevent her from closing her eyes.
As Dorothy closed her eyes, the surrounding noise seemed to drift away from her.
It was Elor who helped set up a silencing spell around Dorothy.
Dorothy didn't know how much time had passed when she felt someone pushing her body.
The noisy environment reappeared.
"Dorothy, wake up, it's your turn."
Elor's voice rang in my ears.
