The fox-Mask Man's trip to Lava City was ruined, and he pouted all the way, looking very unhappy. Lois asked him about his plans for the next time and he didn't answer. He pretended not to hear it, humming a small song loudly.

The female archer is already used to it, knowing that the attitude must not be softened at this time, otherwise this guy will definitely be arrogant. On the contrary, if he posts on him for a while, he will come over by himself when he sees no one pays attention to him. Well, in a sense, this guy's personality is indeed quite cheap.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard the fox masked man talking to himself, "Forget it, I'm going to see the warm winter festival every year, it's not interesting. Let's stay in Goodris. This freshman competition will start in two months, just go and see the fun."

…………

"Freshman competition, what is that?" Lolo asked Gage, who was fighting with a steak opposite him.

The fat man wiped his mouth, "The Freshman Competition is a retention event of the Southern Magic Academy. Every magic Academy is held every year. You should have heard of it. Currently, there are two completely guided dungeons on the Dawn Continent, one near the Fireplace Castle and the other on the Frost Plateau. They have been renovated and opened to the public. They receive a large number of tourists every year, bringing a steady stream of wealth to the owners of the dungeon. In fact, there is a small dungeon on our Free City State that is about to be opened. It is in Bantum Town, 200 miles away from the Goodris University Town. The Freshman Competition is held there."

Lolo was stunned, "The dungeon that is about to be opened? Isn't that the only monsters on the ninth floor left? Should we, the newborns, serve as dessert for them?"

"No, the competition is on the third and fourth floors, and the monsters that were originally there have been cleared. After seeing the terrifying profitability of the two dungeons on the Frost Plateau, the City-State Council decided to start renovating the dungeon in Bantum Town in advance, and the first construction was on the third and fourth floors, including the Magicians Association, the Adventurers Guild and the Temple, jointly invested to turn it into two competition venues, one big and one small."

"The competition venue?"

"Yes, unlike other places, the most common schools in our free city-state are schools. No matter the Magic Academy, Swordsman College or other colleges, the students in it need to accumulate certain practical experience in addition to learning the necessary theoretical knowledge and completing daily training. Not every school is as rich as the Saint Laurent Magic Academy. It has an independent island to conduct practical drills for students. Therefore, this reconstruction has given priority to completing the competition venue, which is also to meet the needs of each academies in this regard." Gage explained.

"The difficulty of the competition arena is available, including simplicity, difficulty and nightmare. For example, the freshman competition we participated in is the primary level, which is generally first-level to second-level monsters. Small competitions can accommodate up to 500 people. Of course, it is not impossible to exceed this number of people, but in that case, it will become a group to bully monsters, which will not be effective in training... The competition venue will cost a certain maintenance fee every time it is opened. For example, the small arena we used this time is 5,000 gold coins, and the money is paid by the school. In addition, you can get a generous reward if you get the top ten in the newcomer competition."

"What reward?" Luo Luo immediately felt energetic when he heard these two words.

"The rewards are different every year." Gage thought for a while, "I remember that the first prize last year was fifty gold coins plus a second-class magic weapon. If you are not satisfied, you can also exchange other items of equivalent value. Two or three only have gold coins but no magic weapon. The rest seem to have a three-year tuition fee reduction."

"Wow!" the rookie brave man exclaimed and pulled Rob up beside him, "We must participate in this. I don't expect to be in the top three. I can make a profit if I can make it to the top ten and I'll be exempted from three years of tuition."

The great magician must not pour a basin of cold water on her. "According to your current progress, if you are lucky in two months, you will probably be able to master the first magic in life - lighting technology. So are you planning to rely on this lighting technology to kill all directions in the competition field?"

Only then did Lolo realize this serious problem and asked Gage, "Yes, the vast majority of freshmen have just started to come into contact with magic. How should our magic students participate in this freshman competition?"

"The freshman competition is allowed to form a team. In fact, unless you are extremely confident in your own strength, everyone will choose to form a team. There is no lower limit on the number of team members, and the upper limit is five. However, if you win, there is still only one prize, and the team members will be divided equally. Therefore, the best choice for those with strong strength is to work alone or form a few fewer people. The freshmen in the magic system are indeed not advantageous in this competition. Most of them only master one or two magic, which is not enough to deal with the changing environment, so forming a team is also the best choice for them."

Gage said while secretly glanced at Lolo, "The first spell chosen by the magic students after admission will determine whether they can become qualified teammates in the freshman competition. Generally speaking, attack or control magic, such as fireball, bondage, etc., are the most popular, and buff magic is second, such as light body technique, great strength technique, etc. There are also teams who need it. Well, as for defense spells, the positioning of first-level defense spells is a bit awkward, and there are many defense effects that are not as real as armor, so it is difficult to form a team."

Rob was happy, "Where is the lighting technique?"

Lolo was dissatisfied, "Who said that lighting techniques are useless? Light techniques can drive away darkness and bring light. After dark, don't you need lighting techniques to guide you?"

"We have torches, thank you." Rob said leisurely, Gage covering his mouth.

"Oh, no one told me that there will be a freshman competition in two months, otherwise I would choose an offensive spell," Lolo sighed and said in a little annoyed, "What should I do? I haven't studied lighting techniques for too long, so why don't I change magic and start from scratch."

"If you are worried about not joining the team, I think you are over-concerned." The great magician inserted a piece of potato, "Even if there is no magic, you are still a first-level swordsman."

"Yes, why did I forget this?" Luo Luo slapped his head and became happy again. The freshman competition was only aimed at rookies who had just entered the school. Senior seniors in the grade were not allowed to participate. The magician had only mastered one or two magics and was not very obvious compared to other professions. On the contrary, first-level professions were real masters.

However, Rob knew that the situation this time was quite special. There were many powerful guys among the freshmen of Siamus this year, but the good news is that most of them should not be interested in the freshman competition. Well, it seems that Lolo still has a great chance to win.

(Well, 16 years have passed in a blink of an eye. A lot of things have happened this year, feelings, work, life, body... Every day, there seems to be new bad news, and later I have become a little numb. Fortunately, this book is still with me. The manuscript fee is settled in December. Looking at the 130 yuan displayed in the backstage, I only have a bitter smile in my heart. Sometimes I don’t know what I am sticking to. The monthly manuscript fee of the previous book is only a few dozen yuan, but I still hold on for two years until 150,000 yuan.
Chapter completed!
