Chapter 147: Competition Flow and Arrangents
“Everyone, the eting is about to start. Please enter the conference room in an orderly manner and take your seats according to your class number. Did you hear that? Sit according to your class number!”
At this mont, a teacher ca over and announced loudly to us, then led us into this huge conference room.
It was less of a conference room and more of a giant lecture hall.
On the seats below, there was a number placard every few positions; this was the class number the teacher ntioned.
“Um, see you later, let's separate for now.”
I bid a brief farewell to Anni and walked inside.
Class 14 was ranked quite high, so I saw the position with just a glance.
It was in a row very close to the front.
I glanced at the number placards in the distance; they went all the way up to 364.
This ant that even with only the class president as a representative for each class, there would still be over three hundred people here, which was already a large number.
But everyone here was a representative of their class, and also represented the face of their respective classes.
Nothing too out of line happened; even the seating was done very quickly.
The sa went for .
I was still a little nervous sitting here.
I looked to my left and right, smiling at each other as a friendly gesture, but not everyone was appreciative.
In the end, I could only play with the number placard in front of out of boredom.
I also saw that many people had brought a notebook, looking as if they were ready to take notes at any mont.
Only then did I rember that I seed to have quite a few notebooks and pens too.
I should have so in this thigh strap, right?
I rembered I had put quite a few in each of my thigh straps.
Even if it was just for show at this mont, it was better than nothing.
After all, it wasn't ti yet, and so class presidents still hadn't arrived.
As ti passed bit by bit, whispers continuously echoed in the conference room.
Although most people didn't know each other, this occasion was very suitable for making friends, wasn't it?
After all, they were from neighboring classes.
There was nothing wrong with getting to know each other a little.
Even if they might eventually et in the arena, it wouldn't hinder the establishnt of friendship.
For example, the class president of Class 13 on my left seed to be a naturally friendly person.
When she saw take out a pen and paper, she wanted to co over and borrow them in advance.
I naturally lent them to her; I had more than one anyway.
Incidentally, I also found out her na.
She was called Erica Middleton, another one with a difficult-to-pronounce na.
As the final mont arrived, not a single one of the 364 classes was absent.
This indeed made the teacher on the stage very happy.
“Alright, ti's up. I'm very happy that none of you were late. First, let introduce myself. I am Lina, the director of the newcor grade, and also a teacher. This Newcor Competition will also be hosted by . This is a tradition of the Witch Academy.”
“The reason I’ve gathered all of you here this ti is naturally in the hope that this competition can be held smoothly. Before the competition begins, we also need to sort out various materials. Of course, our academy system has already obtained everyone's information. This is actually just a formality to let you finally confirm the accuracy of the information.”
“The main purpose of this eting is to explain the competition process and the format. After these two things are over, there will be so other matters that will need your attention, which might take so ti. It will be a bit busy today, I hope everyone can understand.”
After Lina said this, she opened the Earth Vein Operating System behind her.
The huge screen lit up, displaying all kinds of information.
“There are quite a few things to pay attention to in this Newcor Competition. I hope everyone will read them carefully and not miss anything or violate the regulations. Otherwise, the most severe penalty will be the cancellation of your ranking qualification and you will have to bear the corresponding losses, and so on.”
Lina spoke with a serious expression.
Her voice was very loud, abnormally so.
Being at the front, I could naturally see that it was because this teacher had used a spell, probably sothing like a sound-amplifying spell.
“These cautionary notes will be sent to everyone's mobile phones in the form of an academy announcent later. Please be sure to check them then. And I will also explain the important points to everyone here.”
At this point, everyone present wore a serious expression.
After all, this was very crucial information.
“This competition has few restrictions on combat styles. This ans that besides using spells, you can also use alchemy items, potions, and other ans. However, there are certain restrictions. The types of restrictions are clearly marked in the appendix at the back, including but not limited to strength restrictions on alchemy items, rating restrictions on potions, including spellbook strength restrictions, and so on.”
“What I just ntioned is very important. During the competition, the judgnt of victory or defeat will be announced by the referee of the corresponding arena. Special circumstances, such as forfeiture, active surrender, or passive surrender, need to be clearly stated. If you are unable to speak, you need to give strong physical and visual signals, otherwise the referee will not take corresponding asures.”
“Then there is the issue of injuries, including minor injuries, serious injuries, near-death, and death. We also have corresponding regulations for these situations. But please rest assured, for the situation you are most concerned about, death, the academy has resurrection thods. However, maliciously causing the death of an opponent is strictly forbidden in this competition. Violators will be severely punished by the academy.”
Following Teacher Lina's explanation, most of the people below gasped in amazent!
And what they were most concerned about was naturally the resurrection thod!
Can they be resurrected?
The issue of life and death is a problem that no one can escape, and it is also one of the sources of fear for all newcors regarding the transcendent.
Previously, teachers in many classes had said that people could die in the competition, but few teachers had ever ntioned that there would be a resurrection spell.
With this layer of security, wouldn't they be able to unleash their stronger abilities without any scruples?
After all, if they weren't afraid of death, their ntality would be different.
Lina seed to tolerate everyone's surprise about the resurrection.
She didn't excessively suppress the noisy sounds from below.
After the students' amazent subsided, she continued to explain so more cautionary notes to us.
Finally, after a detailed explanation of the process, this topic was concluded.
“Next, let's explain the format of the competition, which is the contestant matchup schedule.”
“The total number of participants in this competition is 364, which ans that in the first round, it will be one-on-one matches with no byes. The first round is an elimination round, and 182 winners will be decided.”
Hearing this arrangent, many people imdiately beca nervous.
Half would be eliminated in the first round.
If they were unlucky and faced a powerhouse from the prediction rankings right away, wouldn't they be directly eliminated?
At this mont, many people's eyes locked onto those on the previous rankings in the crowd, with Tan Han receiving the most gazes.
Of course, quite a few people also looked over at .
After all, what happened yesterday was still fresh in many people's minds.
“Um, Little Han, you're the one from the academy network who crushed a fireball with your bare hands, right?”
Erica, who was beside , turned to her side and asked in a low voice.
“I guess you could say that,” I nodded, admitting it.
I didn't expect just any random person would know about it.
This is a bit bad.
Just as Erica excitedly wanted to ask more questions, she was interrupted by Teacher Lina on the stage.
“Of course, the 182 losers will participate in a massive battle royale revival round. A total of 12 revival spots will be decided in this battle royale. They will join the 182 successfully advanced contestants, making up a total of two hundred people. These two hundred people will proceed to the next round of competition.”
This also ant that those ranked after two hundred would be completely eliminated.
The pressure of the revival round was also imnse, with nearly two hundred people fighting in a massive battle royale for 12 spots.
Students ranked after two hundred would not receive any rewards.
Oh no, according to Teacher Lina, there was a consolation prize, but it was equivalent to a participation award, just to prove you had competed.
The remaining two hundred people would not have specific rankings, only specific tiers.
The rewards within the sa tier were the sa, so there was no need for detailed rankings.
The next two rounds of competition would divide them into four tiers, with 50 people in each tier.
Only the two tiers in the top one hundred would be eligible to continue with more detailed ranking competitions.
This is the Newcor Top 100 List.
Each tier will compete for the corresponding rankings.
And this ranking will be determined through several rounds of screening matches.
Taking the first tier as an example, there are a total of fifty people.
50 advance to 25, 25 advance to 13, 13 advance to 7.
At this point, after the match for 13 to advance to 7, there are seven winners and six losers left.
The six losers will compete to decide 3 people, who will obtain the qualification for the top ten.
Finally, the top ten candidates will be decided.
The academy will then announce the rewards for the top ten rankings, and the referees will conduct an initial ranking of the ten people.
After the initial ranking is completed, it will be the challenge matches among the ten.
Each person has two rights to challenge and one right to refuse, and there is also a limit of being challenged twice.
Those who win a challenge can naturally take the winner's rank, while the loser's rank will be moved down by one.
Those who do not challenge can choose to forfeit.
When everyone's challenge opportunities are used up, that will be the final top ten ranking.
This is the entire arrangent and flow of this competition.
With the concise and clear combination of text and graphics behind Lina, the entire competition flow for nearly 5 days was clearly explained to us.
No one raised any objections to such arrangents.
It was best to accept it quietly, and I was the sa, just silently taking a photo to record it.
I wonder which stage I will reach?
After all this was explained, Lina also had us verify so of our personal information.
Finally, we still had to do so things, such as taking photos for the competition.
According to Teacher Lina, the light screen above the arena would display the contestants when the match began.
So, everyone could think of a pose they thought was cool or imposing for the photo shoot.
After the final version was set, that's what would be displayed on the big screen.
If soone was thick-skinned or a show-off, they could naturally make so socially awkward poses.
The academy would not make corrections, but of course, anything too risqué was not allowed.
After all, you might not care about your face, but the academy does.
Finally, Teacher Lina also had to take us to the open-air arena for a rehearsal to walk through the process, such as where the contestants should be when the competition starts, and so on.
Of course, I wouldn't refuse this, even though Big Sis Bai had already taken to see it once.
