Kuroyuki Ikki sat in the middle of the classroom and secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
His One-Sword Shura is very powerful, but because of its huge consumption, it can basically only be used once a day. If there is a game every three days, then there is no need to worry about running into multiple strong enemies in a short period of time.
He must participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival no matter what.
Whether he can win the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival is related to whether he can graduate from this school. This is the condition put forward by the chairman.
Because F-class knights are too weak, even the Alliance will not treat them as swordsmen. Even if they encounter terrorists, they will be treated as ordinary people who need protection and will not be allowed to fulfill their obligation to protect ordinary people. .
In other words, not only in terms of social status, but also in terms of system, F-class knights are not included in the ranks of swordsmen.
It would have been almost impossible for Kurogane Ikki to successfully graduate and obtain a knife-cutting license from Pojun Academy. In fact, he had to repeat the grade last year because of this.
But this year Shinguji Kurono gave him a chance - as long as he won the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, he would graduate from school.
"seriously?"
"It's so troublesome~ I can't go out to play like this!"
"I didn't want to participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival in the first place!"
However, not everyone is like Kurotetsu Ikki, who aspires to reach the top of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival. Most people in the classroom showed a look of rejection after hearing Oreki Yusato's announcement.
This is understandable.
After all, out of the more than 700 students in Pojun Academy, there were only six places in the competition. It is almost impossible for freshmen like them to compete with the older students who have long been famous in the second and third grades. I hope that I Just slim.
Not to mention, in the selection battle, the students did not fight in the "Fantasy Form", but with the inherent spiritual equipment of the "Real Image Form".
This is because the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival itself is a battle with real swords and guns, so the selection battle also adopts the same method.
In other words, once you participate in the competition, there is a possibility of injury, which may even be life-threatening in severe cases.
Not without that kind of surprise.
Several times in the past, student knights died under the opponent's sword due to lack of strength during the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival competition. Even though the medical facilities are now very complete, and there are professional knights on site to take care of them, it is impossible to cover everything. The danger of death still exists.
Not everyone is willing to take huge risks to hone their skills.
The reason why most students choose to become swordsmen is because they want to graduate from school safely and then find a high-paying job. The salary level of swordsmen is generally very high.
"If I abstain from the selection battle or lose the battle, will there be any punishment?"
One of the students who had this idea raised his hand and asked Oreki Yusato.
"There is no penalty☆! It will not affect your results. If someone feels that they are not interested in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, they can directly reply to the "Executive Committee" to indicate that they do not want to participate, and the committee will automatically remove you from the list. name."
Oreki Yusato shook his fingers. Although his face was pale, he still tried his best to cheer everyone up.
"But! The teacher thinks that it is a very good thing that everyone can have equal access to opportunities. Everyone has the possibility of becoming the "Seven Star Sword King", so the teacher hopes that everyone can participate as much as possible and try to move towards this goal. , the teacher believes that this kind of experience will become an irreplaceable asset for everyone!”
The teacher sincerely encouraged everyone to participate as much as possible.
After all, swordsmen are a fighting profession. If you enter the workplace without having experienced combat, although most people will choose civilian jobs, once they encounter a situation beyond their capabilities, they will definitely regret it for the rest of their lives.
——In this world, terrorists are rampant beyond imagination.
Depending on how rampant it is, a murderous yet powerful terrorist could cause millions of casualties, and sometimes even threaten the international situation.
When a swordsman who has never experienced combat encounters terrorists, his reaction is completely different from that of a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles. Even if he has only a little bit of actual combat experience, he will not be reduced to fish on the chopping board.
"Well, fellow students, in the next whole year, we must study hard with all our strength! Let's do it together -! Come on, come on, vomit, vomit, vomit, vomit -!!"
Before he finished speaking, Oreki Yusato's face suddenly turned blue, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood with terrifying force, staining the entire podium blood red.
"Arisato-chan?!"
"No, it's okay, the teacher is just weak and sick..."
"Doesn't this look like it's just physical weakness?"
"Don't look at me like this. I've been vomiting a liter of blood every day since I was a kid!"
"Are you proud in a strange place?"
"You are so strong to be able to survive until now. Anyway, I will take you to the infirmary first! Please clean up the scene!"
"give it to me."
Kurogane Ikki rushed forward immediately, and without saying a word, he carried Oreki Arisato on his back and sent him to the infirmary.
"They seem to know each other?"
Jiang Li looked at the two people leaving and guessed.
"It is said that when Ikki first entered school last year, it was Mr. Oreki... No, Arisato-chan gave him the entrance test. Without Arisato-chan, Ikki would not have been able to enter Pojun Academy last year."
Stella walked onto the podium carrying a mop, and with the drag of the mop, it easily turned the podium into a murder scene.
The admission threshold for Pojun Academy is E-level.
The reason why Kuroyuki Ikki was admitted was because he met a good examiner, Oreki Yuri, in last year's entrance test. After defeating him in a duel, he gained her approval.
But even so, he still repeated the grade because last year's class teacher did not allow him to participate in actual training and even took the exam. Of course, it was impossible to enter a higher school.
"Nanxiang-san Nanxiang-san! Will you participate in this year's selection competition?"
Kagami Kusakabe pounced on him like a jackal that smelled blood, with a professional reporter's unique gossipy smell on his face.
"certainly."
Jiang Li nodded calmly.
"This is natural. Is the goal really aimed at the position of Seven-Star Sword King?"
Kagami nodded matter-of-factly and continued to ask.
The Seven-Star Sword King is the honorific title given to the student who wins the Seven-Star Sword Dance Festival, that is, who obtains the throne of the strongest Neon Student Knight.
"Okay."
Jiang Li shook his head, with emotion and yearning in his eyes.
"But I'm not very interested in the Seven Star Sword King. It would be great if I could become the strongest in the world. Rather, this is my goal..."
Kagami was slightly stunned for a moment, this answer was really unexpected.
Her jewel-like bright red eyes reflected Jiang Li's flawless profile, as well as the longing, or stubbornness, that emerged from his profile.
She suddenly understood something.
Why is this young man able to defeat Shinguji Kurono head-on, even at the risk of dying?
Because this young man longs for power.
You can risk your life for this.
