Chapter 67: The first round is over
Nicholas, with a calm heart, effortlessly sent over a thousand test papers into the void, where they emitted a faint glow, as if possessing spirituality, and autonomously sought out their owners.
Yuehai watched as a near-perfect score sheet flew in, feeling delighted because she knew she had passed this round. She then smiled happily at Claude. Naturally, he was even happier; as long as Yuehai was happy, his efforts weren’t in vain.
Just then, the emcee outside the stage exclaimed excitedly.
“All right, the first round of the competition is over. Let’s take a look at the rankings of the little angels!”
Swipe, on the huge magic shadowstone screen, densely displayed the scores of over a thousand participants.
And among them, Arena ranked first.
Next is a girl named Xuelian who scored the same as her.
Following closely, with a difference of one point, were four others like Yuehai, Jinlisi, etc. There weren’t many others close behind. After all, the difficulty of this written test was very high. Those who could get close to the top thousand all had a certain level of history and magical knowledge.
Dragon Slayer looked pleased inwardly, wondering whether it was Tyr who had helped or if Arena, that little elf herself, was just very clever.
Buzzing, at this moment, in the void space, the magic sound stone in Tyr’s pocket vibrated again. Without even looking, he took it out and asked.
“Hello, who’s this?”
“Hello, I’m Zack. Mr. Tyr, you’re amazing. You actually surpassed those talented girls and ranked first. I truly admire you. Please let me serve you tea and water in the future!”
“Ah, we can discuss that later. Is there anything else?”
“No trouble at the moment, but due to your exceptional performance, the TV station has started to see you as a dark horse and has exposed various information about you on air. This includes the measurements of the magician next to you.”
“Alright, alright, even if the TV station investigates, they won’t find anything. It doesn’t matter. Tyr himself doesn’t have much of a history, so no matter how capable the TV station is, it won’t be of any use.”
After hanging up the phone, Tyr suddenly became intrigued and glanced at Arena. Then he opened the magic shadowstone and switched to Imperial TV Channel Seven. This was unexpected. The measurements of the top ten magical girls, including Arena, Xuelian, and Yuehai, were all exposed. How did they figure it out? Tyr himself didn’t even know how big Yuehai’s bust was! But then again, it seems Arena was still hiding her large breasts. Hmm, it’s worth investigating…
Buzzing…
Once again, the magic sound stone vibrated.
“Hello? Who’s this?”
“Lord Tyr, I am Xanli.”
“Oh, Butterfly of Sunflowers, what’s wrong?”
“Lord Tyr, is the first place on the score list for both you and Little Arena?”
“Yes.”
“Truly respectable! Although I do not mean to belittle young Arena, this must be the result of the knowledgeable guidance of Lord Tyr.”
“Ah… Yes, that’s right.” A guilty conscience made Tyr’s answer even more exciting for the Butterfly of Sunflowers.
“Oh my goodness, you, my lord, are simply a deity! The Imperial TV Station has said that this exam combines various profound questions on history, magic, elemental reactions, and more. Even scoring 100 out of 200 would be considered excellent knowledge. Scoring 150 would make one a scholarly overachiever, and anything above 180 would practically be a realm only geniuses can step into.”
As the Butterfly of Sunflowers spoke, Tyr could still hear the excited shouts of Wind-Slash Ghost behind her. Obviously, Wind-Slash Ghost was even more excited than the Butterfly of Sunflowers. Shating Iron Sword was indeed the big brother. Not joining in their madness, Tyr could imagine the other’s calm demeanor.
The guilty man laughed awkwardly and ended the call with the Butterfly of Sunflowers and others. The next moment, the announcer outside the venue spoke up.
“Alright, next is break time. I believe the magical girls who have been contemplating for a full ninety minutes must be very tired. We’ll arrange good rooms for them to rest for half an hour. During this time, we won’t keep the audience grandpas waiting either.” The female emcee exchanged a happy glance with the male emcee and continued.
“Let’s welcome, all the way from the imperial capital, the ‘Heavenly Heart Songstress’ Kairin!”
Oh!
At that moment, the audience erupted in cheers once again as a mature woman dressed in white emerged from the stage, accompanied by music!
Afterward, Yuehai and the others were transported by Nicholas to a large building that had already been arranged. There were tens of thousands of rooms here, enough for the magicians and their warriors to rest as they pleased. The lobby even had dining streets, and facilities like libraries were not neglected in the least.
On the other hand, the other more than a hundred thousand magicians had to leave with their warriors and family members disappointedly. Perhaps among them were those with exceptional talents, but unfortunately, they encountered a written test. If they were to find out that this written test was devised by the ‘Thunder Emperor’ Leilindor one can only wonder how they would feel.
After that, there was another little incident. During the time when Tyr used the magic sound stone to contact Zack, someone with malicious intent happened to see it. After reporting it, they discovered that the person taking the exam was an extremely beautiful young girl. Upon realizing this, the indignant informant silently withdrew their report. Jokingly, they thought, “Beauty is synonymous with justice.” They would rather believe that the girl’s warrior accidentally answered a call. Even if she did cheat, the informant decided to keep quiet about it. Furthermore, as the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. There was no need to be so ruthless in the first round. Cheating wouldn’t help if one lacked the ability.
